I've noticed that my antenna doesn't seem to be as strong as my note 7. Also the signal icon will not say 3g but the pull down does and I won't have signal. would the Verizon 4g sim affect this any?

I went from the lgg4, note7, s7e, note7, iphone 5s, pixel xl in the last 2 months. So the g4 did not have wifi calling but was ok in my house (which is terrible). Sometimes I had to go to the door or window. The first note7, s7e and second note7 were greatly enhanced by the wifi calling BUT still had issue even with that. The iphone has ZERO issues. even when my wife had used it. It is even better then her new iphone 7. Now the pixel xl and my less then 24 hours. Actually not good. Yesterday I needed to call verizon because I could not activate the phone, not enough signal and a big red flag.
Then I called back and the line kept dropping even with wifi calling. Also btw the note7 told me when it was using the wifi, so far i dont see it on the pixel. I have since been using it and while driving lost calls. This really neve happened with any of my devices since switching to verizon. Sprint yes happend all the time.
Isn't this suppose to have excellent antena? Isn't that what HTC and moto are known for? isnt that why we have a glass back?
Always ensure to check the actual -dBm signal strength within the phone settings / network info area. Bars can be calculated VERY differently from phone to phone. The -dBm is the true strength so you will know how good it is.
This is a great app for checking -dBm strength. I recommend the Pro version.

According to S4GRU.com RF performance of the Pixel phones are "typically average or slightly below." from looking at FCC docs.
This is disturbing. How real world are these numbers usually?
I also recall a reviewer, can't remember which one saying the signal strength of their test device was really good. He attributed this to the glass back and also further stated the wifi signal also stellar was helped by the glass back. Could this partially be the reason for the top third glass backing? Sounds like it's not working tho so maybe this theory doesn't hold much credence.
