Improving S7 reception

[cpearson]

Is there any way to improve the S7 reception? I'm dropping calls, people are saying i keep cutting out and I'm showing no service at a constant and continuous rate with this phone. I'm close to a full return and want to consider everything before I do.

It may be your carrier. Are you sure it is the S7?

Yes, Just bought. Am on second one as first had no signal whatsoever. I have Verizon which has always had good coverage for me on any phone I've owned.

I would make sure "Advanced Calling" is disabled. (You can disable it on an account level from the Verizon wireless website, or at the phone-level using the "Advanced Calling" selection under the Settings app.) Advanced Calling is an interesting concept, but it's not ready for prime time. There are too many issues and limitations (only works with other Verizon phones that also support Advanced Calling, calls will drop if you switch between a 4G connection and a 3G signal, etc.).

Maybe a case interfering ? I don't know. For it to be an issue with adanced calling I'd think more would be complaining about it since it is a pretty widespread feature, but def try it with it off to check.

Turn off VoLTE. Will help with all the dropped calls.

Advanced calling was the issue. Thanks a ton!

Now why couldn't anyone at verizon solve that?
