Just got my S6 Active for two days, but I feel the signal is not very good, my wife's S6 always have 5 bars while I have 3-4 bars.
Last night we were at art museum, I lost connection and barely got one bar signal, of course my wife got 5 bars, we both using AT&T.
Any one else have this problem? I think this phone suppose to have better signal, because you know, it's Active version.
BTW, the battery is good.

Same Here
I live in Colorado and AT&T's coverage is awful here anyway, but when I went from my s4 to s6 active, it got worse. I now have little to no service in my home (I live in town). I'm hoping there is a fix, because I love the phone. This is the only real issue I have had with it.

I arrived at work today all excited, thinking how much fun I will have now that I have my new 3g account. On the weekend I have almost no supervision and plenty of oportunity to get online. Every where else I have been I get full signal for gprs/gsm and umts, at work with 3(three) Australia I got 0 bars umts, if I switched to roaming I got 1 dot for gsm (telstra) that is not good enough to get a useful gprs connection. Disatster!!!! The only place I need mobile internet is the only place I can't get it. I will give it another 30 days and if no luck then goodbuy mobile broadband

I am wondering if telstra next g would have given me better reception? My vodaphone always had good gsm reception there but they do not have good 3g plans at the moment (and I am locked in a contract with 3 now).
How can I improve the quality of my hot spot? I have wifi signal for a time and then it is gone. I travel all over the country, and allot of the time I am in areas with no wifi where I am staying. I could really use some help with this. I just got the Samsung epic touch so I could have the router with me and not be lost like I am now.
So I will not get an answer to this??
Hotspot as in your phone as a hotspot or a router/hotspot? Also don't walk away too far from it.
If as in router then try a windsurfer

An external USB wireless adapter with an antenna will probably give you about 35% better reception. Look for a bulky device with the largest antenna.
Something like this:

Me and my fiance just got the Gold S6 Edge, mine is 64gb and hers is 32gb. On Speedtest app were'd both only getting about 5mb download speeds. On my HTC M8 I used to get about 40-50Mb. And it's not the network, because I ran it alongside my Xpera Z2 Tablet on LTE, and got almost 40Mb. But WiFi is much faster on the S6, I get about 82Mb on the S6, but only about 60 on the Z2. I have also tried enabling advanced calling, but no difference in network speed.
First pic is S6, second is Z2

That's crazy, I'll have to check mine.

Okay well now network speed is normal on my phone after rebooting a couple times and enabling Advanced Calling. Haven't tested on my fiance's phone yet.
Is anyone else experiencing slow 4g connection with Verizon Note 8? My 4g speed tests have dramatically dropped at home and at work.
Super slow 4g on Verizon
Yeah I just switched from my S7 yesterday, went from 40-50mbps all over my house with the S7, to 2-3mbps with the Note 8. I got an update just now too, didn't fix it. The ping is also terrible and the connection drops. It's pretty much worthless without Wi-Fi.
Mine should be arriving in the next few hours and that'll be one of the first things that I test. I can put up with many little quirks and flaws, but a 4g device with crappy 4g? That would be a definite deal breaker and quick return to Best Buy.
I have not had any problems. Speeds have been good.

Hi
I am using Sony XZ3 for around 15 months on O2 UK.
For last 4-5 months I am struggling to get good network reception. Changed sim card as well but no luck. I put my sim in my old HTC phone and not had any issues for 2 weeks. What is possibly wrong with the phone or network?
Screen shots attached via Net Monitor Lite app. Why it shows WCDMA connection on LTE or GSM sim?

Same issue. Reception is really bad against other phones.
We need to update the baseband.
