Data saver was previously off, I turned it on in the last 3 days of the previous billing cycle. Not sure it has made a difference. Mobile data only apps is, and always has been off. Looking at the usage graph, one thing that stands out is from the point of the most recent software update in...

I'm curious if the OP has any update on this. I'm experiencing the same thing with my S10 right now. I have a 10gb data plan, and typically my data usage would fall in the 6 to 7GB range. On occasion I've used 8 to 9GB, but in those cases the extra data usage was easily identified: always from...

I came back to provide an update. I can't say for sure that's where the time line fell, but it would have been close. My S4 started having issues again at the end of June. I think it needs the charging port replaced. I decided to give the S6 a try and look at fixing the S4 if nothing had...

On my phone I never really found the bars or dBm readings to give any reliable indication of actual reception. I'd do a speed test as the best indicator, and at time's I'd have no network connectivity or very poor (.3Mbps or less) speeds despite having good dBm numbers.

Reception. Can't say I've used the phone to it's full potential otherwise because the reception issues have me frustrated enough that it is sitting on a shelf in favour of a phone 2 generations older.

The S6 does not perform well in areas with a weak signal. In fact, outside of LTE areas it is a very sub-par device. Hopefully you are within whatever return period your carrier has set as their policy and can get into a different phone. I was not so lucky, my S6 with less than 2 months of use...

Well, 12 days later and no phone call. I really thought I'd get somewhere considering the store employee had a vested interest in getting an answer as well. I guess the writing is on the wall, nobody wants to deal with this issue.

Well an update of sorts, not a lot to report though. Went to the store I purchased the carrier's store that I purchased the phone from. Fortunately the lady I dealt with also has an S6 and lives outside of LTE coverage so she was well aware of the issues, but has not pursued any resolution at...

I could handle improved reception at the cost of battery life. It would probably end up being a bit of a wash since as it stands right now I'm using my phone an additional 30% or more than I normally would since I am constantly stuck trying to reload websites or checking if I have service.

I managed to set a little time aside to make a call today while I'm switching over to night shift. Finally! An admission by my service provider that there is a known issue with the S6! The tech rep told me that network connection issues outside LTE coverage area is a known issue that is not...

Hopefully. I'm going to use the phone for a couple of weeks so I have further documentation of the issue. Don't really have time to deal with it in the short term anyway, working the next 5 days, going fishing for my 4 days off then back to work for another 5. I'll just put the sim back in the...

Phone is back from repair. Took me all of 15 minutes to see that it has not improved at all.

Ugh. That article mirror's my experiences almost to a tee. The occurrences of no signal 25% of the time is downright **** poor service. Now I have zero faith that when my phone returns from "repair" that it will be any better than when I sent it in. As somebody who is seldom in an LTE coverage...

Sorry for the delayed response, I've sort of been in limbo with the phone and haven't been checking in. I sent it away Aug 21st, was called to pick it up on Sept 8th. Got there and the screen had about a 1" crack in it, so they sent it away to have the screen replaced now. I've yet to hear back...

I can't say I've observed any issues with wifi. SaskTel has sent my phone away for repair, though I'm doubtful I'll see any improvement.
