Because they are more concerned about adding a bunch of useless (for most people) sensors and features that help suck up another 2GB of storage As Samung said, it is for the greater good .... Bleh.
It's substantially better than my Galaxy Nexus. It gets a bit better signal than my wife's Droid Razr, which seems to get a pretty good signal.
Now wifi is another story. I get a horrible wifi signal with my S4.
WTH why cant Samsung fix their craptastic radio's....
Good to know. Hopefully for those having issues, when samsung puts out an OTA update it can increase the signal strengthI can confirm that the signal strength on the Verizon Galaxy S4 is fine. We live out in the middle of the woods where we get 1-2 bars of 3G with the iPhone 5 and Note 2.
With the S4 we are receiving the same 1-2 bars of 3G and everything seems fine.

That's good to know. Also coming from a nexus the official Verizon map says I should have 4g at my house now but I do not. Wonder if that will change with an S4. The nexus sucks at 3g 4g switching
