Yeah that's to bad it's a common Sprint issue. They are making the Galaxy S3 look bad.

People need to STOP LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS! I had my SGS3 at my desk and it had -117dbm. I had 4g LTE and made a perfectly crystal clear call. Later near my desk (not in same spot) I had -82 dbm and had 4g LTE and made a perfectly crystal clear call.
At home, I again can be anywhere from mid 80's to high 90's or maybe 100 and I have zero dropped calls, all them the most clear I've ever had on a cell phone and amazing LTE speeds (anywhere from 8mb to 37mb down depending on time of day).
People need to relay REAL WORLD experience with using the phone on calls and for internet. Don't just say, "ummm, derrrrrr, in settings it says -105. my phone SUXXORS!!!" deerrrrrrr
I think Samsung may have a bad way of calculating that number. Plus those of you comparing your previous phone that was NOT ice cream sandwich to one that is, is pointless. The new software calculates that number differently and many websites have said it's close to 20 dmb worse than gingerbread on many phones (meaning if the phone was rolled back to 2.3 it would automatically get a number 20 lower (better)).
I returned a GNex due to the terrible radios. It way underperformed as far as WiFi, 3G, GPS. Sounds like GS3 is much better.

I want to try to get to the bottom of this, given Samsung's crappy track-record with CDMA/LTE radios.
If you go to System Settings-->About Phone-->Network it should tell you your signal strength in dBm. Mine for example on my Rezound at the moment is -82 dBm.
If you're coming from another LTE phone, how does it compare?
