loved my g2 but i think it has weaker signal on low signal areas. i made a comparison with my iphone 5s same sim network, iphone 5s has at least 2 or 1 dot of signal and never drops but my lg g2 always show an x on the signal bars. anyone experienced this? any solution or maybe its a hardware problem?

Hey,
I seem to experiencing poor signal strength when on 3G UMTS. 2G GSM seems to achieve much better signal strength for some reason.
I have never seen 4 bars of signal that I once got with my HTC Desire. On the Droid Pro its always flirting with 1-2 bars.
Signal strength in Status reveals around 75-90dB and never better... The area I am in is completely saturated with towers (downtown Toronto).
Is this a software issue or should I take my phone back to the store for warranty / exchange?
Same problem
Hi,
I'm having the exact same problem - have tried it in two countries now, with two different sim cards, and had the same issue. GSM gets 4 bars - UMTS gets 1 or 2 max, or simply none. At the moment I have zero bars and over 100 dbm. Currently on E-Plus network in Germany.
Any help would be most appreciated... many thanks in advance.
The same in different countries tried all ROMs starting from 2.x.x to 2.3.3 - no difference.
Change from global to gsm mode

From the first day it is in gsm mode.
Anyone here had any decrease in signal/reception strength when switching to the S4 GPe and running on AT&T?
I used to have 4/5 LTE bars in my home constantly on my iPhone 5 but now I only get 3 bars top (usually only get 1 or 2 bars indoors). I have switched to the correct LTE plan and got the appropriate SIM card, plus I have factory reset my phone but nothing has worked. Any help would be appreciated. I just hope that I don't have to return the phone. Thanks
How's the call quality? Signal strength bars do not reflect actual true signal strength. My older Motorola shows almost full strength signal while the GS4 only shows one, two, and rarely 3 dots but the calls are clear on the GS4. I am not saying this is alright; just merely asking about call quality.
Pretty good actually. No problems whatsoever with call quality or dropped calls

After a day or so the phone now only shows the H instead of LTE. But signal "strength" is better having H only. Could it be that my LTE signal isn't strong as I thought it was? I will call AT&T to see if my account is provisioned correctly (even though they assured me it was) after the SIM change.

Anyone with AT&T experiencing weak AT&T LTE reception with this phone? I've compared it side by side with Iphone 6 and Zenfone 2 and my Moto X Pure is getting half the speed, sometimes It won't even pull in an LTE signal (will stay in HSPA+) in many places where the other phones do. Hope it's defective, Amazon is sending me a replacement.
What do you guys think about the cellular strength. Mine loses lte signal and switches to 3g where my other devices keep the lte signal (with reasonable speed). It's about 5-15 dbm more than the other phones. The 3g signal is good tho.
I also experienced this, wanna know is this normal or my phone is defective.
Haven't noticed a difference myself but I have only had the phone for a couple of weeks now. I also flashed to the UK firmware and live in a major metro area . Oddly enough my house is always a dead spot no matter what phone I use. The Tmobile 4G LTE Cellspot fixes that for me at home though so I can't really comment otherwise.
I opened the case to clean my g2 and after that my device is getting poor wifi signal. It gets exellent signal quality only near the router...can I fix it ?
+1. I have two G2s, one has noticeably weaker WiFi.
