    My Wifi signal strength/reception

    I know there are many posts regarding this issue, and I was one who had real concerns regarding Wifi signal reception on the Note 3. I went to my local ATT store today and purchased the Note 3 and checked it out in my house. I am a super happy camper, the Wifi signal strength on my Note 3 is...

    How's your wifi connection on Note 3?

    Re: How's your wifi connection on note3? This really concerns me. The S-4 is not known for having good reception on wifi, and to have the Note 3 perform worse in the same location is starting to look like a deal breaker for me. Many posts now stating the reception on the Note 3 is not good...

    Those that own both Iphone and Note 3, question regarding signal/reception strength

    I have posted previously my main concern with the Note 3 is the reported weak signal reception on LTE and 3G compared to another phone in the same location on the same carrier. Also, there are posts that discuss its very weak wifi reception as compared to another phone in the same home. My...

    Using dBM and ASU numbers to check signal strength

    Thanks dkeven. I appreciate your response. I know BARS are not a good way to compare signal strength, and I know some phones have great signal strength and others are very weak. Currently my wifes phone (Iphone 4s) has incredibly good signal strength in areas where I can not get a signal...

    Note 3 signal reception?

    What's down to the carrier? The comments I have read regarding this issue use the same carrier in the exact same location, and the Note 3 is either unable to get a signal or it is very weak with very poor reception, while the Iphone has zero problems. That has nothing to do with bars or...

    AT&TNote 3 - Friday, September 27th @ Best Buy???

    I just returned from my local Corporate AT&T store (Fort Myers Florida) and they have the Note 3 set up on display but you can't purchase one yet. I gave it a spin (never used Android before, so I am not knowledgeable about many of the functions) and I was very impressed. On the LTE network it...
