I should begin by saying that I'm on Verizon. I live in a "marginal" reception area. I've had an Samsung Galaxy S3 since mid April. I have reception issues since day one. My phone is dead stock 4.1.2, rooted. I am posting here because the information on this site is the only one that has gone into depth explaining the actual process of cell connection. I can't say I understood much of it, but I get that there are enough folks here that do, so I might get an answer to my dilemma. Until July 9th I can exchnge my phone for another. As other folks have said, "I love my S3 except when I make calls". My question is, is there enough change in the hardware of the S4, that I can expect reception to be improved over that of the S3? Thanks for helping a 4G pilgram out.
