Why is my Motorola Nexus 6 network reception is poor?

[munnakha05]

Hello,
I am using N6 for last two months and noticed that it has poor signal reception even in open area. My office has poor network reception and everyone around my office room know it well. It is not a phone set problem. However, after moving to outside of the building or ground floor where network signal is supposed to be full strength I still got poor/no signal. In this case I do search cellular network from setting and suddenly good signal strength bumped up. As I said, my office has poor reception so after moving from there to open space doesn't help my N6 to adjust with the reception. It means N6 find it difficult to handle network signal properly. Naturally, every phone can adjust in this situation very quickly but N6 can't. Does anybody face this issue? Please suggest what to do.

Thanks.

Welcome.
No probs here but many factors can affect signal.
I have had great luck with this free app: https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...blueline.signalchecklite&hl=en&token=0dfenxTi

Check it out and see if you can pinpoint any concerns or dead zones.

What network are you using?

Fido.
One more thing to add. I am talking about phone signal only, not internet speed (LTE, 3G). I dont have any data pack.

Interestingly sometime without any signal bar I am able to make call but it is not case as always. Here is the picture you can see. Faint color bar is present but no signal. View attachment 214712

Only time I had what looked like a signal issue, i.e. I couldn't see the icon, a reboot fixed it. What was your previous handset, did you suffer the same issue with signal and were you with the same provider?

Provider is same. But previous N5, Samsung S3 has no issue with signal.

and is this signal issue just at work and the surrounding area, or is it all the time?
