Any reception issues?

[T48]

There was an article a few weeks ago (elsewhere) about reception issues on the standard S6/S6E. The S6 had more dropped calls & took longer to connect to LTE. Not sure if it was a metal frame/antenna or software issue. Just curious for those who already have their S6 Actives if the reception for both calls & LTE networks is as good or similar as your previous phones?

Had mine since last Friday. Behaves the same as any other ATT phone I've ever used.

So far so good with mine. Signal is strong call quality very good.

No reception problems here on either cell reception or LTE data. I'm actually getting better download speeds on this phone than I get on my unlocked Nexus 6.

I haven't had any reception issues.

Mine seems to work just the same as any other AT&T phone.

Yes, I am having terrible reception. I have only had the phone for a day and have already dropped two calls and had to run down the hall next to a window to keep two others. I never had any issues with previous phone at the same location (at my office).

i'm getting close to returning the phone. I have had more dropped calls since I have had this phone than ever before. Text messages wont go out. Sad, because I otherwise LOVE this phone but, it looks like its going back to AT&T at this point.

Thanks! It helps a little. Honestly I'll be curious to see how this thing performs when I'm not using it 12 hours a day straight. Always the way with new toys!

Try a swap out. My wife has logged over 1000 minutes in talk time on the phone the past 2 weeks, and isn't dropping any calls.

I second this. This phone has been excellent in this.
