I've been using Samsung and earlier Motorola Android smartphones for eight years. Prior to that Motorola phones for another fifteen years. NEVER have I experienced a low audio signal, in this case, 4G audio strength as with my current Note 5 on Verizon.
Being that I've lived in my home for 24 years and was the neighborhood liason between Verizon and Denver to get the nearby cell tower installed, I tend to know signal strength on my devices used in conjunction with the tower.
In the last month with the Note 5, the signal strength is very weak, running from -99 dbm to -117 dbm. If you know numbers, this reeks of low to NO signal quality.
Verizon issued a critical repair and response ticket and after testing, they came back to me and said... the problem could very well be the Note 5 and it's inability to operate well at low signal strength areas.
I also noticed while driving through other cell areas, if I wasn't right by a tower, the other party on the phone would say... I CAN'T HEAR YOU!.
The Note 5 lost its outgoing audio many times, PO'ING my business connections on the line.
Verizon is sending me a new Note 5 to test and see if it'll work better with signal strength on audio.
Has anyone else with a Note 5 had audio problems and low signal power strength?
