Which telco are you using?

Which telco are you using?

Singtel and set to LTE

Were the number of bars higher with your last phone on the same routes taken? Might be just a telco issue otherwise.

Higher number of bars does not automatically equate to faster data speed anyway.

Please go to Settings, About Device, Status. Check the Signal Strength there. The number of bars is irrelevant unless you know how it corresponds to the signal strength in dBm. My Note 3 shows 2 bars when my S3 would show 3 or 4, but the signal strength remained the same for both phones.

shows as -95 dBm 9asu under LTE, how does that reflect if shown as percentage ?

Did you buy the Note 4 from SingTel? The easily way is to go back SingTel and ask them to check. It could be as easy as a change of SIM card to resolve the issue. The worst is ask them for a 1-1 exchange of the phone if changing of SIM does not help.

weird, now that you've mentioned it..i have just realize that my note 4 is 3 bar at my house..usually other phones, i'd easily get 4bar

Yes, I notice mine is 1 bar usually. It's -106 dBm now which I understand is low. When I got the phone I used my same 2 yo+ sim card from previous phone.however no call drops or lousy call quality so far leh.

Did you compare the signal strength with another phone?

I did that with a LG G3 and a Note 3 and both register between -100 and -120dBm in my room. Never had a problem with calls though.

Thick casings can affect the reception..

its significantly lower than other phones, most times is sitting at 1 bar.. guess will have to bring to Singtel then
