A
Android Central Question
Hi there,
First time asking a question here. I'm having signal/reception problems with my note 8. It's got to the stage now where I think the next logical step is to sell the phone. With the mobile network settings set on (4g/3g/2g - auto connect) the phone will have horrendous signal. Calls are dropping, people are complaining my speech is staggered/stuttering, the phone is unusable. I have one bar of signal in most places especially in my office where other Vodaphone contract holders are getting a perfect reception and strong 4g connection on phones like the iPhone 5s. My phone always selects 4g and always gives me a poor reception. I can still search things on the internet quite efficiently but call quality is beyond poor.
If I select the phone to run on 3g/2g auto connect then the phones reception begins to improve, on 2g only the phone gets full reception and call quality is perfect. Obviously this is not practical though, I need to be on the internet with strong speeds all day for work. Basically it would seem like it is not auto switching but always selecting 4g.
Sorry if this doesn't make too much sense, I'm really not that good with technology and thus an android phone may not have been the best choice. Just want to be able to shove the SIM in the phone and get on with using it, not have to worry about all the settings constantly.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
