Anyone else seeing poor reception in fringe areas? My S5 will get 1x data where my 6p won't even pick up signal. Just curious how others fare

Heh my entire area is fringe. For what it's worth, my wife's v10 does no better. Lol

Well I love my 6p for all reasons except reception... My phone sat with no signal while my co-workers s6 and my S5 bounced from 3g to 4g without dropping signal entirely... Really wish I could afford a new phone...

Why would that be...weird? Sounds like maybe a network upgrade or a change in the wind (not literally, though precipitation and certain cloud cover can matter).

I'm getting much better reception at home (about 10 down on average) and 20 in the central part of town. I never got above 7 down at home on my G2x.
This is my first post. Finally emerging from the shadows.

I still have spotty coverage, constant complete loss of service and random 50kbps download speeds while showing full 4g right in the heart of Baltimore.

I've been getting the same darn signal everywhere I go.

Hi,
Not sure why, I'm facing random signal loss. Particularly when the phone sleeps.
I'm using Sentinel ROM and Air Kernel.
This has been happening in the past week and my other dumb phone on the same network with another sim card always has signal.
Neither the ROM or Kernel was updated recently.
What could be the problem?

Any chance your Nexus is looking for 3g signal where as your dumb phone is on 2g?

I have had the LTE fix on my phone for about two weeks now and today it is not showing up. Is 4G down in the LA area? Is anyone else having this problem?

I'm over in the IE, and LTE is going strong.
This is really weird. All the APN settings and the radio is still there. Nothing has changed except I'm just not getting 4G anymore
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Have you rebooted lately? I know if I reboot, then the setting in 4636 changes to WCDMA Preferred. I have to go back and change it to LTE/GSM, then turn the radio off and back on before it will connect to LTE.
Not sure if that is normal, but that's what happens to me.
I just did a factory wipe and I rebooted everything works now. Really weird though. It happened right after I put LTE on my girls Nexus 4 and it's not working on hers right now either. I'll wipe hers when I get home I guess.

I noticed that, it still isn't where I need it to be but it's definitely gotten better.
These are my speeds, not the highest but I'm happy with them! I'm in NYC, btw

Does anyone else have problems with their reception? I've always had 4G at my house with full bars now I sometimes get 4G but mostly 3 with 2 bars.

Mine is the same as my note 2. Were u on an aosp ROM before? I know sometimes they report differently. Check the dBm and see if they are the same.
I live in the middle of nowhere and I have great reception

So has anyone found a solution to the bad reception and 4glte bouncing around to no service. I've read several forums so I'm not the only one . It just pisses me off that I paid full price and Verizon gives you the run around and wants to send you a certified replacement. What a joke. We are in desperate need of an update.

I find it helps to turn on airplane mode then turn it off. Resetting the radios often helps it pick up 4g again.
We shouldn't have to keep toggling just to maintain lte. I called Verizon the other day and they put in a ticket but I don't think much is going to come of it.
This phone's reception is much weaker than the droid DNA. In places I got steady 4g, it now goes back and forth from 3g.
The signal strength is like a good 10-20+dbs worse than the DNA in the same spots. (I'm pretty much only at work and home do nothing's changed except the phone).
Sometimes with this phone, it'll show connected to lte (1-2 bars on the icon) but I can't get anything to load. No websites, no rhapsody streaming, nothing. All apps time out trying to connect. But that might be just a specific area at work. Regardless, I'm sure that even at home, the signal strength is always over -100 when the DNA would regularly be sub -100
So annoying.

The update made my phone snappier. As far as the signal , I think it might have helped a little bit. I know it doesn't sit there for a few seconds when calling someone. It used to take forever.

I think I'm going to sell my note 3 and buy the developer addition. Only problem is I paid full price. I'm willing to lose a couple hundred bucks for a good signal.

If being better than the GS3 "blows" then okay.....
Not only is my cellular reception much better, my wifi reception is much better too. Good enough that in places that both didn't work before I now get at least usable 1x or one bar 3g/4g data.
I also had the gs3 . This phone by far kicks the gs3 butt. I will agree the gs3 signal is twice as good. My galaxy note 3 works awesome if I'm not at work or in my house. It is what it is.

Every experience is different. I Have A DROID Bionic And I Use It For Work And I Constantly Notice The Bionic On 4G And The Note 3 On 3G. It's not all the time obviously but it's enough to be noticeable.

OP, have you dropped your phone perhaps? I just read about the "LDS" technology they started using beginning with the Note 3 that integrates the antenna into the actual frame of the device. They say stress on the frame could cause the antenna itself inside to crack affecting signal.

No I haven't dropped my phone. my phone is very well taken care of. After using the MI9 modem for a day I've had twice the battery life. At 14 hrs I had 51%battery with 5 hours of on screen time. Thanks for the feedback.

I don't think people in here realize different manufacturers phones get different reception. HTC and Moto phones will ALWAYS get better signal. Its a fact of life. Just because your note 3 is newer doesn't mean anything.
And if your still thinking of switching to Dev Edition for better signal, your in for a surprise..... That phone has the same radio hardware in it that the Note 3 you currently have does. Wouldn't waste the "couple hundred bucks" looking there for better signal.
PS - my Note 3 gets phenomenal signal. Not as good as my HTC One did (obviously) but better than all the other flagship phones Verizon has had in the last 2 yrs.
