Student Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 If absolutely great radio and reception performance is important to you then look no further than the s4t or Nexus 5. Sent from my Nexus 5 looks like nexus 5 it is then!! thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chemist Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 looks like nexus 5 it is then!! thanks! I fully agree. If you want the absolute best RF performance the N5 is definitely the way to go. I may actually sell my G2 and replace it with an N5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smalltimehack Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Our Samsung rep came in today and said there is maintenance release as well as kit kat coming at the end of this month. He did say it wasn't set in stone but they're shooting for that time period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smorcy11 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Lately I have had to cycle airplane mode to get my N3 to move from 3G to LTE. It seems to want to hang on to 3G way too long. Once I cycle it will immediately pick up the LTE won't issue. This wasn't a problem up until the last several weeks. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

My GN3 has been reliably switching back and forth between LTE and 3G as signal strength dictates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalltimehack Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Woot. I get a N3 to demo for a few months courtesy of my Samsung rep. I get a gear to play with as well. I'm hoping to get in his good graces so he can hook me up with a S5 when it hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smalltimehack Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'm jealous.Eh. I'm excited to try out the note on sprint and see how it does. I know a few people have consistent dropped call issues in my area and if that happens I'll give it back. Lol. Also edited my op so it makes more sense. I sounded like an idiot the first time.

My GN3 works flawlessly. I think you'll like the phone a great deal. Now my LG G2 on the other hand has poor RF performance, crackling earpiece sound on some calks and. GPS that doesn't work. The GN3 has awesome loud earpiece volume and great RF performance, plus the GPS is spot on. You'll have a winner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I switched to the nexus which has been nothing short of awesome so switching to the note is a hard choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gifters Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Hrmm, bouncing off of what you said in your other thread... If the N3 is dropping calls, but not when on Google Voice... Well, first off, my "sources" tell me that the N3 Drop Call Issue is only on 800 MHz. Secondly, if Google Voice resolves the issue, it might be due to HD Voice. Any updates from your "sources"? maybe a permanent fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket87 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Any updates from your "sources"? maybe a permanent fix? Techs where i work have been loading a prl with no 800 on it to temporarily fix it. Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smalltimehack Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 What new stuff? Do you mean the S5...Yes sir. I already noticed I see 1x800 a lot more than what I did on my N5. I always saw rtt no matter what I did. Wonder if it just didn't pick it up quick enough when dropping from lte to voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if it just didn't pick it up quick enough when dropping from lte to voice. You see 800 more on the GN3 because its radio is weaker. So it needs 800. This is not a good thing as you think it is. You want the radio performance, especially when using LTE.

smalltimehack Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Thanks for the explanation. What's the word on a good rom for this thing? I've already got beastmode kernel on the stock rom rooted and want to go a little further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjs2011 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 The Note 4 and my December upgrade can't come soon enough. I have the nexus 5 right now and really like it, but I have the itch for a bigger screen. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
