On my S7 Edge I always had near full bars. On this one(same sim card and service-cricket) I get lower bars but my speed is incredible and even faster than previous phone. I get a 8.84 MBPS Download and 3.95 MBPS upload which is on par considering Cricket limits to 8 MBPS. My bars are never full though or even close. Could this just be a firmware error?

The one issue I'm having is constant drop of data ... playing online games I can see my ping range from 4 green lights to 2 Orange light a then back to 3 green.lovjt . It never stays in one spot which causes very bad lag...idk if this is an isolated issue...but I will reset the entire phone and such tonight to try and start "fresh" to see...
Opposite for me. Coming from LG v20, Wi-Fi and carrier speeds are much much better.

The amount of bars really doesn't matter, it's your signal strength that matters. Look in about phone and status and you should see a range of -80 to -120 dBm. -80 being great and -120 being worse. Ever go to a football game or large concert and have "full bars" but a crap connection? The tower may be close but can't handle the amount of people connected. Sometimes they have COW's (Cell on wheels) that's set up to prevent this from happening at large events but still may affect you.
Anyways, the only issue I have is switching from WiFi to 4G it seems that my connection isn't that great until I turn on and off airplane mode.
You can get a app like signal check .... That will give you your connection in decibels..... That's the true bars ..... Sprint used to always show 1x as bars... You could a call and have no data

Same here, my V20's wifi and 4g reception was weak as hell. I'm consistently 1-3 bars higher and I've got signal in places I didn't quite have before.

So then is this good? If so, ATT nesds a firmware update to correct the bars to reflect the signal. Btw thanks for letting me know that. Its a big relief lol I almost signed up for ATT's $90 plan. Glad I asked on here

About the same to more bars on my s8+ then the s7e
Even that article has it, while being in the -7X range is really great signal, you "can" see signal near -50. I've wireless devices at locations that sit in the low -60s. So not having perfect bars is definitely understandable at -73.
Anyway you shoot it tho, the signal bars are worthless unless you get used to what they mean for your phone mfg.
This actually all blew up big with the antenna gate with apple (though I imagine many forget it now), where people would drop reception depending on how they held their phone. Their bars were worthless and you had to put the phone in a dev like mode to see it in dBm. Then you had a realistic idea of what was actually happening (if you were seeing signal drops or not.)
I remember putting my hand in the "death grip" and seeing normal bars on the iphone but you'd switch it over to read dBm and you'd do it and be at -119 to -120 which is bad. Would be -7x to -8x sitting with no one touching it.

So I live in Chicago, IL and have a skyrocket from ATT with the rooted 2.3.6 stock rom. I have however never gotten anywhere near the LTE speeds others rave about. The highest speed I have ever had was 6m d 2m up and that was RARE. I usually get 3m up 1m down. I wonder however if it could be from my sim card as the guy at att just took my Galaxy s2 sim and put it in the skyrocket. Any help would be much appreciated. And I am always in the city or in the suburb which houses O'Hare international airport so I think I should be doing fine signal wise.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but are you seeing the 4G LTE icon? Or just 4G?
I also exchanged an S2 for an SR, and they also just swapped my SIM. LTE recently soft launched in LA, and I've gotten speeds between 8 to 19Mbps (before I usually hovered between 2 and 3Mbps).
i was going to ask the same thing.. im guessing your not even getting LTE just HSPA+

Chicago was one of the first LTE markets and with 10 million people in the city and suburbs...it's bound to be a little slower than some of the smaller citys.
I live in Naperville and usually get 10-15 down and occasional 25-30 down....I am sure the city of Chicago is probably less.
At the far edge of a towers broadcast I have seen the speeds will be lower.

I AM in Ottawa, Canada and LTE speed is great.... IF you are in the pretty narrow band of coverage.
Some people have reported issues, with not being able to make calls when the LTE icon was displayed..
LTE may have been up for a few months, but it seems that maybe the carriers rushed, just to be the first?

LTE speeds in chicago stink and are no where near what others are getting in other LTE markets.. the max i've ever gotten was 25 down and 10 up right outside chicago. i live in the northside of chicago and commute 20 miles to the nw suburbs and still dont get eye popping speeds nor consistent 20 meg speeds, only in orland park and naperville.. but everywhere else i average around 10 down and 10 up, which isn't bad, but is ok.
here's a thread i started when i first got the skyrocket and an article detailing as to why speeds in chicago may be slower. i hope the crank up the speeds soon or i may be considering Verizon LTE or Tmobile's faux-g.
XDA: Why AT&T LTE is fast in select markets but slow in others incl. Chicago

Even though I am in Houston (which is supposed to have better speeds), I have never gotten anything higher than 29 Mbps down. Usually, it just stays under 10 Mbps.

Everybody, PUHLEESE!
Look it is simple math. At 25.6Mb/s(ATM25) it will take about 10-11 MINUTES to blow past your 2GB limit with AT&T. Even at 50% overhead it still runs to the limits in about 15 minutes. Really? Seriously???!?!?!
All we seem to be doing is running OOKLA for bragging rights which is fine, I GET IT!
If you were to actually USE that bandwidth on AT&T for any length of time it would either get throttled, or even worse they would enforce the 1GB extension cost for every GB you go over.
Ten minutes??? cmon, lets get serious.
I am MUCH more interested in CM9 or ICS for Skyrocket than I am the speed - It is like a drag strip, you throw it into 1st, stomp on the gas, and before you can get it run up in 3rd you are shutting it down at the end of the track. That is what the 2GB limit is like on a phone that can push up into the 50-75mb/s ranges. Of course I used to love to get my Z28 down in the track in 12 seconds...
Ookla for me in DFW is 22.35mb/s <- not too shabby...
I found this very interesting i usually get one bar at my house with nexus 5 and i consistently get 3 with the g2 still love my nexus 5 but just kind of strange

Always been the same for me, worse signal reception on the N5 compared to my Motorola Razr i or Moto G....
N5 on the left and Moto Razr i on the right.
Both phones have new O2 sim cards inserted.
The N5 has been tested by the engineers at LG (nearly four weeks away for this testing / repairs). Nothing really to note on the engineers report.
I sent lots of photos with the phone and talked in detail with the people at LG over the relatively poor signal with the phone when using O2, 3 or Vodafone on the N5 compared to other phones that I have and what I would expect.
As good as the phone is it has been a let down for me with the strength of its signal capability. I have tried the different radio versions with no real difference.
There are times when it is really good but I just know there are plenty of other times when it is very poor compared to the other phones noted.

Motorola has been making cell phones longer than anyone....and radios.
Don't compare any phones radio to most Motorola's anyway.
It's safe to say the radios, or something in 4.4 have issues on the Nexus 5 regarding radio performance and reception. I can't say my signal is ever superb (t-mo MD); however I have often notice data stalls. Perhaps these are related issues?
I've started using Connection Stabilizer to resolve the data stall issues, if you check the logs you will likely see it working. I highly recommend.

You might have a point. It is just frustrating coming from a phone(s) which has virtually zero signal issues to one which is relatively bugged by them. Sometimes if I see no signal, when it has been in my pocket for a while, toggling it into airplane mode and then off again will restore it.
I am, overall, most impressed with the N5, it is just its ability to maintain a good and strong signal over that of what I have been used to which is most frustrating. I did not realise how bad it was until I went back to the Razr when the N5 was with LG for inspection / repairs for nearly a month.
Just to add that when I was using the Moto G it had an issue too with low or no signal after it had been in standby. Thankfully they fixed that one with the update...
The update is version number 174.44.1 and it has been reported to be pushing out to US and UK models of the Moto G, but should be rolling out to the rest of the globe soon enough. On the change log is a fix for a bug that had been causing cell signal loss for users, a fix for low call volume, a wallpaper cropping issue, and a trouble with USB on the Go.

I sold 1 of them the other Nexus 5 is sitting as a dev/experiment phone
Hey everyone,,
I'm in the UK, on 3, and my N5 gets terrible reception pretty much everywhere, mainly indoors. Was wondering if anyone in here has the same problem, trying to figure out if it's the network or the phone itself, though before I had the N4 and didn't have a problem.
Swiching from 4G to 3G as preferred network doesn't make a difference.
Cheers.
Indoors will be limited by the laws of physics, same for any network
Though there are simple logic tests to narrow down the issue further:
- Anyone else on the same network around you with same reception issues?
- Tried your SIM in another unlocked phone?
- And a different SIM in the N5?
Hey Eddie, cheers for the reply.
- No one else here on 3
- Works fine on my N4, no reception problems
- Not yet, plan to
Cheers.
I don't if its placebo or something, but I think flashing KRT16M radio helped my reception.
@DaaT
Don't go flashing radios just yet, won't necessarily make any difference.
When doing the comparison testing, best to use a signal measurement app, or view the strength in dBm in the 'about phone' section. Signal 'bars' aren't really a standard measurement.
If the N5 consistently gets lower signal strength readings with multiple SIMs compared to other devices, then more than likely device issue.
Good idea to still check with other Three users when you get the chance.
Hi Eddiehk6,
Not planning on flashing anything, phone's unlocked but not rooted and fully stock (used to flash ROMs left & right until a couple of years back, but since I've been happy staying stock).
I haven't the a chance to try another SIM in the N5 yet, but wrt to signal, I checked last night at home and was getting -100/101 dBm and 39/40 asu. Right now, here at work, I get 0, zero, nada.
Signal indoors isn't particularly strong for Three here in the UK due to the frequency bands they use for their 3G network. Along with this, they have no 2G network to fall back on and their low-frequency VoLTE-capable network is limited to a few devices in certain areas.

Fair enough, strange though that I never had issues with my N4, both at work and at home. Anywhere really. Checked last night at home and again, signal went down to 0. It's weird...
Keep forgetting to bring the SIM ejection bit to work so I can try someone else's SIM card Guess I could also open it and check the antenna connectors at the bottom.
Removing the Black Cable that runs along the right side of the Nexus 5 that controls the data connectivity and plugging it back in and making sure it was really tight helped me solve the issue. I made sure to tape it too.
As for GSM connectivity issues I had, i sought to using this trick I found online: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/hardware-mod-increse-signal-strength-t2842599
You also might want to unlock some extra bands incase: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/radio-enable-lte-band-3-nexus-5-d820-t2928561
Edit:
The right side shows the cables you want to remove and reinstall and tape it down to the connectors. Make sure they are held tightly:

LTE weak signal
HI,
I have a real problem with my Mi 5, the cellular card seems not to work properly, indeed it constantly changing from one network to another , es: from 4G to H+ to H so the LTE cell is not well detected.
I have made some test with SpeedTest using two smartphones ( Z1 on the left - Mi 5 on the right ) with the same Network operator and into the same place but the result are completely different see the enclosed image . Does any one have the same problem?
Thank you

I can confirm that I have same issues, I sometimes drop to E. I have never had issues like this previously with any of my Nexus phones. There is definitely something wrong here. WiFi isn't any better. I can't connect to router from place in my house where Nexus 5 does just fine with 4 out 5 bars.
Not good.
I'm thinking on buying this phone, I live in the US but as far as I know, none of the LTE band this phone uses is compatible with any US carriers, right?
I use MetroPCS, btw.

I'm able to get consistent wifi, able to stream videos from my home server smoothly. Full connection throughout the house.
But cellular is a bit patchy, sometimes dropping to "Emergency calls only" while moving (for example, car, bus).
It's good while stationary, but often sits just short of full bars.

How close to the router were you? HTC products have always had poor wifi reception when one was not standing or sitting right next to the router. Samsung is the same for some reason. Apple tends to do a bit better in range wise.

When I ran the speedtest I was right next to the Access Point (It's not a router, It's a standalone Access point) About 5 ft away physically. Obviously there is an exponential drop off in speed when moving away from the source. But the Pixel XL appears to perform similar, Perhaps a tad bit better then my Note 7 did.
signal range is pretty poor for me. this thing won't remain connected to my 5ghz network to save it's life where's my v20 will and will get crazy speeds even with a low connection in the exact same room. in general ,the WiFi is pretty bad on the pixel and slower than my work s6 and my personal v20.

I get similar speeds on my Pixel XL pretty much everywhere in my house (covered by a 3 Asus OnHub Google Wifi mesh network connected to AT&T Gigabit Internet.) What I have noticed however is that speeds are slower if my phone is not connected to power and faster when the phone is plugged in. It is not something "flukey" ... I see it consistently. To get the speeds like in the screenshot, my Pixel XL would need to be plugged into a power source (and connected at 5Ghz).
Anyone else get notified every time you pass your local cable provider wifi out in public to sign in every time.I clicked auto sign in and still Everytime I can pick one up driving or walking down the road I get a notification to sign in very annoying
I have really spotty wifi problems with my pixel XL. Thought it was just my internet but sometimes I have a good signal sometimes and others its trash. super strange as to why it is so iffy, it doesnt really have a spot where it works better than others.
