Sitting side by side with my bionic. Bionic=4-5 bars ; nexus =0-1 bars. How is that possible? Is this a software or hardware issue on the nexus? Should i be concerned ? Is this a bug that can be fixed. Thoughts?

Re: low signal strength?

Re: low signal strength?
Does this mean my battery life will suffer as a result. Sinve it is always working harder to get a signal ? Call quality is fine and no data drops. Just concered in rural areas will it be searching for service while my bionic would have service.

Re: low signal strength?
check the dbm, not every phone manufacturer measures and displays bars the same. it is all about signal strength and not bars.

Re: low signal strength?
Did that. The bionic and my charge have about -86 while the nexus is -100 to -120. Considerably weaker signal. Consitenly about give or take -20 higher number.

I hope it doesn't mean battery life will suffer. I'm sitting in the same spot I always do in my bed using my phone where I would get full 4g service on my charge. On my nex I have almost none.
Hope this gets fixed.

Re: low signal strength?
Sounds to me as though an exchange would not help. The issue seems pretty widespread. Seems as everyone is having the same low signal problem. Just wondering if it could be resolved with a software update or if it is the hardware and in that case it is what it is. No resolution possible. ???

Motorola radios are much better than the Sammy. That's been discussed numerous times. Sucks, but might be worth it.

Supposedly 4.1 helps the radio more so I am sure when that comes out that should help it for those having issues.

Re: low signal strength?
I understand that Motorola radios are better than samsungs. I get that. But if thats true, then why are my Samsung charge and motorola bionic very close as far as signal strength goes but the nexus is not even in the same ballpark. There shouldnt be that much of a difference. Especially since the charge and bionic are very comparable. Moto vs sammy in that comparison. Just seems as though its a issue with the nexus.

Re: low signal strength?
Bionic and nexus been side by side all day. Bionic says time without signal 7% . Nexus says time without signal 68% !!! That is just crazy. These phones have been within 10 feet of each other all day. Quite a difference.

My Nexus shows less bars than my Rezound or my Charge also. Should be a software fix eventually for it

Re: low signal strength?
you have to remember the charge at first was not the best with signal and through updates it got better. The radio can be fixed via software and most likely will see at least one more update to help with signal.

Re: low signal strength?
i am on the fringe and i dont pick up a 4g signal. i did get a bar or two with the thunderbolt. Where do you get the db reading at?
