Been using my essential phone on T-Mobile for a couple hours. The signal strength seems to be bouncing around pretty erratically. I even completely lost signal in my house a few times. Anyone else having this issue?
I did remove and reinstall SIM to see if that makes a difference but it is to early to tell.

FYI. Sounds like the dbm level is on par with the S8, it's just the signal meter shows lower.

Mine hasn't really been bouncing around but the icon shows the signal strength being lower than usual. Doesn't actually seem to affect my usage at all

I can say for sure that signal strength is worse then other phones. I loose signal completely in several areas where I used to have coverage. For measure previous phone was a Mate 9 pro.

Just the bars, or actual dbm? Check dbm as others have suggested. Sony used to have this issue on TMo.

well, this is concerning... I'll need to keep an eye on this one.
Have you checked the APN settings?
http://apn-settings.com/t-mobile-apn-for-android/
It may be worth a look.
I just got mine today (typing on it now on wifi). Will be swapping in my TMo SIM soon. And heading to a couple areas with less than great signal already so we'll see how it goes.
I did some more testing. The only other phone I have to test with is an iPhone 6. When I put my sim in the iPhone I get LTE and a signal strength of -117dBm. When I switch to the essential withe the same sim I get -109dBm, which should be better. The strange part is that I am not getting LTE only HSPA. I have confirmed in other areas that LTE does work on the essential phone with this SIM.
I have checked the APN settings multiple times.
From what I have seen it is as if the essential phone is more willing to completely drop signal and say no service or drop LTE and default to HSPA(not sure this is possible) at a certain signal strength threshold which is higher than most phones. I am not even sure this is possible. But from my observations I can lose service completely by moving the phone a foot or so in either direction or I can set it on my desk when I have service then pick it up 5 minutes later and it says no service.
I am also seeing issues of dropping with T-Mobile. There same sim card gets good service on my other phones
This is interesting, because upon getting mine this morning and getting it setup, I noticed the radio signal strength was 3 bars instead of a full 4 on my other phones (S8, HTC 10, Pixel). I'm about to leave for Florida which is a familiar drive I've taken with several other devices- I'll report back if I get unusual drops in coverage/slower than usual speeds. So far LTE speeds at home are in range.
this is interesting, I remember another phone that needed a software flash to fix this issue. I can't remember which phone it was though

I haven't noticed anything that drastically different from my Pixel so far in strength or signal. I was at Watkins Glen all day today and have all sorts of TMobile issues there (regardless of phone) and the PH-1 performed as I'd expect based on past visits this year.
What setting do you guys have for "Preferred network type"? I have a feeling the erratic signal drops is because it's trying to switch to find the best signal...
Mine is currently set to the top selection which is LTE/TDSCDMA/CDMA/EVDO/GSM/WCDMA.... shouldnt it be set differently for TMO? does it really need to search all those bands?

Anyone else having these issues? I've noticed that places I always had at least 1-2 bars with my note 2 I will not have any service with my note 3. Also I have been dropping calls in areas that I never did. Could this be my new sim card or should I exchange my phone? I also feel that my wifi connection stability/range is slightly worse than before.
Mine is the same way,don't get the signal my note 2 would and 4G is weaker also .

I hope this is just a first software or sim issue. Or at the very worst a first production run issue. I will likely be bringing mine to Verizon this weekend to test and new sim or exchange if that doesn't make any difference. Annoying.
Idk how much it will help you but I noticed I was in 3G a lot of the time as well. Definitely more than my N2, I switched my preferred network to LTE/CDMA instead of Global and I now have 4GLTE way more. As far as the wifi and phone reception, I myself haven't noticed any huge difference but I did read the international version of the N3 already received 2 updates and they supposedly not only improved the wifi and antenna signals but also battery life. Who knows when we'll see an update though. We are on Verizon.

Tried that and it actually made my signal significantly worse. I switched back to global and my problem seems way worse tonight than any day this week. Can barely hold onto a signal in places that I never had an issue before. Battery pull didn't help at all. I constantly get a message that says I can't send messages and then asks me to retry. Frustrating, will be going to Verizon tomorrow or Friday to return/exchange
Just now noticing this
I wonder if this has anything to do with being rooted? it seems like I just started dropping calls like crazy just today. I do remember getting the sent error on some text messages, though I can't remember if that started befor or after rooting.
Haven't had a single issue with signal or dropping calls. Also my 4G speeds are pretty insane. I'm thinking there are some units with defective radios.
Sitting next to my sister in the car and noticed her S4 has full bars meanwhile my G2 has 1 and has 1x for data and she has a strong connection to LTE. I checked status and idk which relates to service but my dBm was 110 while hers was in the 90s and my asu was 1 and hers was 45. My service has been pretty terrible everywhere. I am running green devils latest CM nightly and I believe I flashed the latest radio in the development thread. Please help! Can't even send MMS in my house because not only is my house get bad service but my phone has really been doing a bad job getting good reception. Wondering if anyone knows what's up.

well you would be amazed what people ask. I have learned if user doesnt state it he hasnt though about it. How obvious it may seem
Maybe bad antenna. Also check which mode you have set for network, gsm,2g etc.
also note that some phones show levels differently, their multiple bars could be same as yours.

Must be something strange, I set the mobile network to LTE (recommended) and it's weird I've been trying out different modems too flashing those, the phone will boot up and have LTE, then it will disappear after a minute or so and I will literally never see LTE again where my town I have LTE EVERYWHERE.

yeah that sounds like the low reception bug some people have been talking about.
you try disabling fast dormancy. See if it works, might end up using more power though. Also try disabling the power saving option. Lte is less battery friendly so phone could be forcing itself to lower power mode when not using data. you should see it come back the moment you use data, if thats it.
Also check if ypur apn settings are correct.
Also check your provider. They might be limiting you on their end.

I have huge LTE issues. The coverage where I live is amazing, but my phone will not prefer LTE no matter what I do. Does the phone software just suck or is there something I can do?
LTE only - works, but then I cannot make or receive calls. All other modes will prefer 5.9 bars of 3G over 5.8 bars of LTE. Which doesn't make any sense.
Btw I am on CloudyPro II but I don't think it is a ROM issue because I never had had the phone prefer LTE even though I have almost max LTE everywhere.
I have also tried with fast dormancy enabled and disabled. It makes no difference.
Is there a way to make this phone prefer LTE?
Same problem here. Even though i got 4g on my place, it will connect on edge or 3g. Sometimes i got no signal at all. I dont have thos problem on JB. Im on rooted stock KK international. Is this a kernel or baseband issue?

Hmmm... I had the same problem on JB stock...
Another thing that I noticed is that if I for instance set this phone to LTE/GSM/WCDMA it will go nuts. Sometimes changing between H and 3G almost every second. Just back and forth.
It is almost as if this phone will poll the network several times each second and then prefer the strongest signal while completely disregarding data speed.
First, why are creating new threads when already exist similar topics? Do you read old topics? Maybe it has contained answer

And what could it possibly do? You prefer it to connect to some 5miles fay away LTE cell only if it's speed is faster but your modem will then constantly drop packet and reestablish connection to drain the battery? Or should phone grab a nearest and most powerful signal from 3G cell?
And third, wait for Kitkat, it contains a newer 190084 baseband, maybe it will relieve your pains
Then again, why do you complain here instead of going straight to you operator office? It surely is their fault to tweak their cell wrongfully. We can't change their settings

I have tried with different basebands and in case you didn't read my first post I have full LTE signal (6 of 6 bars) if I force it to pick LTE only. If I don't, it will pick 6 Bars H/3G.
I have also tried many different ROMs and I have checked the settings of the Sim card. It is set to prefer LTE.
Btw, did you read the last post in the thread that you linked to?
With LTE i get a ping of 34 ms and 15/5 Mbps. But the phone will pick a HSDPA connection with 47 ms ping and 6/1 Mbps.
And I am on the stock KitKat baseband but like I said I had the same issue on JB
If I force it in my office downtown I get up to 70 Mbps. And as soon as I switch back to default settings (if I boot) I go back to good old HSDPA if the phone is in a good mood. Otherwise I get 3G.

I have the same issue, I don't get why WCDMA preferred exists and not an LTE preferred (in *#*#4636#*#*). I'm running stock everything, only thing I've done is rooted, and I'm updated to the lastest firmware with Knockcode that T-Mobile pushed out.
Best way to discribe it is the phone gets "stuck" on whatever band it falls on. If my LTE is weak, it will fall back on 3G or 2G and just stay there - it seems like networks aren't prioritized. The phone should (in a perfect world) look for 1) LTE, 2) WCDMA, and then 3) GSM in that order and only pass one over if weak or doesn't exist, and should it pick up a higher ranked connection it should switch back. It seems the LG G2's just don't... If it falls back on 2G it's perfectly happy staying there until force it back to something else (default mode LTE/GSM/WCDMA) and it's rather annoying. LTE only is viable only when T-Mobile enables VoLTE on the G2's, but as of right now it stops all calls from happening, and I can't even change my phone to only use LTE/WCDMA, because where I work we just got a tower upgrade to LTE and they took the 3G offline, so calls still won't go through since it has to fall back to 2G.
I'll give Samsung some credit when I had my S3 and S4 on AT&T they would always follow the pecking order of what I stated above (in a perfect world) and I never had an issue, but the G2 blows the S4 out the water in performance in my opinion.
Hey guys just wondering if there are any exynos users who have T-Mobile in the USA (Atlanta for me). Im using the n910U and i get a 4G signal pretty much everywhere but out of nowhere it will drop to 1 bar, and then drop signal all together. Its getting quite annoying as it was said that the unlocked version was supposed to work with T-Mobiles LTE bands. It also happens when using the download booster which is also a pain. Any suggestions on improving the signal? thanks in advance.
Bump. Anyone have any advice to remedy this?
Im planning on buying the sm-n910u aswell but I want to use it with metro pcs which should be using the same network as tmobile, I dunno if ur problem is the phone or network hiccups but im hoping it will work here in nyc

A few things to look at
Try 3g only awhile, you may have a marginal 4g signal and the phone keeps switching back and forth
Try to find out which bands are coming off each tower in your area as well as tower location
You are one of the first to use the new intel modem in the usa for this phone
Keep us posted
Back in the HSPA days I had nothing but international devices and frequently experienced what you described. All the carriers have different networking h/w and topology because they all grew through acquisitions. If I left my home town where I had decent coverage when my flight would land in another region I'd have to reboot my phone to get it to connect to the network. When doing speed tests with friends using "real" AT&T phones their phones were always faster and more reliable. It was only an issue less than 10% of the time so it wasn't a big deal (to me). For better or worse the carrier's optimize the radios in their phone for their specific networks. So, at least in theory, a carrier phone (used on the carrier that provided it) is always going to deliver the best performance.
I got my N910U from Hong Kong, and my 4G signal is as weak as hell, though i'm a China Unicom user.
My iPhone 5s has much better signal than it, same SIM same network.:crying:
There must be something very wrong with the Exynos version of Note 4.
Hope Samsung could fix this ASAP.
Yea it happens pretty randomly in my house and when i leave to drive around town. The signal will be 4 bars on 4G then suddenly just drop connection all together for about 10 seconds. its a real drain on the battery when it does it so often. Im wondering if its a software issue with the radio in the n910u? Since we have root already we can load a different radio on it and see if it improves?
Got the same thing going on with my 910U on Fido Network in Canada. I must note it seems like it doesn't affect performance except for a network speed, no issues during the calls but 4G signal is at 1 bar most of the time unless I'm outside in downtown or something. I must note 3G signal was almost always at full strength. Not sure what is going on here but I thing we really could use some modem update here lol

I also have hongkong N910U model and facing signal issue on regular basis. When Problem appear I can not receive calls anymore and when try to make call , signal disappear altogether. After I retry a couple of times then it works fine but only solution is a restart to get the full strength. it feels like it is a software issue rather hardware but still keeping my device in observation. I feel when I enable power save mode only after that this problem appears. trying not to enable power save mode and test the issue for few days.
Kindly also share your own experiences to solve this issue temporarily.

Swapped the note 4 again.
The third one and a new simcard fixed the issue !!
3 to 4 bars signal strength/
I have this problem since yesterday, it seem like the Note 4 is dropping the Sim card. In panama we have a provider that will need to register the sim card with names and stuff but i never did and every time i turn off the phone it will pop out that menu from the sim card.
Yesterday it was popping out every 20mins so i assume that the note 4 is dropping the Sim card. i didn't have that problem when i started using it. its been only a week and this problem came out. I got no signal, with the circle and a dash to full signal and drop signal back... all day, I can't even play online or watch youtube or other things. But it work fine with wifi!
I changed providers no more issues for me. Gonna change back next week and a new simcard also

The tower in my area is notoriously crappy. many times even text messages will delay until we travel to another cell. My ex as an example received a Text message two days after I had sent it. no rhyme or reason, just crap service across all devices.
As far as 3g goes, if others have 4g my only suggestion is to reboot the phone. worked for my s3 running cyanogenmod 12.
Call them and ask them to investigate the tower. Have your coworkers call as well. You would need to know your signal strength for any real troubleshooting. Its possible that another vendor put up a tower or increased bands (channels) on existing tower. Also, does your employer have an extender/repeater. Maybe it is having issues?

The BPA1 update really screwed with my reception. Prior to the update, I would be 2-3 bars 4G service with no drops inside my fire hall. After the update, I bounce between 1x & 3G with only 1 bar each depending on where I am in the building and it chews through battery the whole time. I updated one night at the hall and went from 2 bars 4G and streaming video with no drop outs to 1x and barely able to load Google.com all while sitting in one spot.
The phone also lags considerably while switching between networks and/or wifi.

After the update, I bounce between 1x & 3G with only 1 bar each depending on where I am in the building and it chews through battery the whole time. I updated one night at the hall and went from 2 bars 4G and streaming video with no drop outs to 1x and barely able to load Google.com all while sitting in one spot.
The phone also lags considerably while switching between networks and/or wifi.

I agree the BPA1 update made my reception really bad too. I've gotten so many dropped calls at my house since then. I think I'm dropping Verizon as soon as my contracts up....
You can try 4G switcher app and toggle off LTE/CDMA auto PRL and then back to it to refresh your data?
Flashed back to BOG5 . Signal strength seems fine now. Maybe Verizon puts out ****ty updates on purpose just so people get tired of the poor performance and go buy a new phone . I hope not, makes me wonder

Now that I have unlocked the bootloader, I flashed back to the BOK3 modem and have much better signal strength and faster downloads as a result. Call audio is suffering a bit though with a nasty echo at times...
