Have never gotten all bars connection meter. Note 8

[Android Central Question]

I got my note the first week they got released, I have never got signal strength higher than 3 bars. Anybody else ever had this issue? Even traveling to different city markets to unsaturated networks.

I do notice my reception is not as strong as the Note 5 to say the least.

Same here, nothing more than 3 bars.... Frustrating

I'm on t-mobile and I have one of their cellspots. I get full bars all day every day. I'm in Wyandotte, MI and their service works pretty good here

I honestly have not paid any attention to the number of bars on my phone in years. As long as the call quality is good, I'm happy. The feedback from people has been very positive when I'm using my Note 8. On my end, I find the calls to be more clear than on my iPhone 8 Plus.

I live in the country so when I'm driving towards Philadelphia I'll begin to notice from 2 bars to all bars lit up about 5 miles away.
I have Sprint, that's the only one that gives me great service where I live. Go figure, and I've had them all.
