I'd have to give it a good solid 4.25, as most of the LTE comes from Straight Talk AT$T, which of course doesn't get the LTE love its full blown AT$T sim gets...I usually average 2-3 bars in the house and good speed when I am in the house, inside a metal building, I may still read 3-4 bars, but get maybe 4.7 kbits/sec. Not the worst (see Sprint Tilt 2) nor the best (see LG Flex) phone I've had in that regard.
Very good considering the price of the device
When it is cold outside ( mountain ), it is not catching well signal.

No issues with cellular strength
Pretty mediocre signal strength.
No issues with radios. Actually it performed better than G3
Signal is pretty good outside or inside the house.

To be frank. My indoor signals arent good. Signal strength also depends on the nearest cell tower and ur indoor is how closed

Right. Some houses block more signals than the other.

Houses wont block. If indoors are much consistent. Then signal strength will be too low
Haven't encountered the issue since 18 months

Not really but if the location is proper then no issue faced unless operator issue

Good signal strength. No fluctuations.
no issue.
I can connect to 4G anywhere. Just great.

Does it drop calls like the iphone? (Anyone actually switch from the iphone to the note and notice a difference?)
the phone is pretty good, no issues or dropped calls yet... pretty equal to my iphone 4S as it has the redesigned antenna. Way better than the iPhone 4 signal quality however...

That makes sense all the people who said I'll get more dropped calls had the 4 not the 4s.
Coming from sprint, i'm a little leery, but I can't handle their ****ty data network anymore. (Voice is still rock solid)

yea the iPhone 4 antenna is ****.
I've had a couple dozen calls so far and haven't dropped one. And they're loud and clear.
I live in Alaska and my Iphone 4 would drop calls like it was a hobby. I spend a couple of hours a day on the phone and so far the reception on the Note has been rock solid. I'm more than pleased with my upgrade.
Sweet

coming from the iP 3GS i can say the Note for me has slightly better reception in former dead areas, and the volume and clarity is quite a bit better. i am very pleased, as this is necessary for me to run my business.
As the title says any sandiego users what is your experience with data and this phone.
Not very impressive but the signal in my bedroom is pretty low
It's been better than my old GS3 for the most part. It switches from 3G to 4G pretty quickly. The 3G is not impressive though but ok for light usage. 4g "spark" is nice though.
When you call granny, does she keep saying "Huh?! Wut?!" or does the conversation flow pretty well? Rate this thread to express how you feel about the Honor 8 Pro's call quality. A higher rating indicates that calls are clear and crisp, and that regardless of background noise, you can hear the other party clearly (and with ample volume) and they can hear you.

So far, so good.
Crystal clear like all other honor devices.
The earpiece is soo loud. Even in outdoor.

How about quality when there is poor network?

Wtf? Some logic here to this guy please.

I meant to say if there is poor network or fluctuations hows the reception or stability? Meaning the call still continues or drops immediately. Just wanted to compare with others. No need to use such word for simple things. Be a good member of xda
nice
Very loud calls.
Rate this thread to express how you think the Essential Phone's Wifi performs. A higher rating indicates that it has excellent range, throughput, and signal strength. Like when you're taking a dump in the bedroom upstairs, do your videos have to buffer or do they come through without interruption?

this might not be a WIFI actual issue. However, I am having issues getting MMS/ pictures while on wifi using android messages

Seems decent, but here's my issues. Wifi worked for downloading stuff at work and then I left. 3 hours later, I try to connect to wifi at my house, and it wouldn't find any wifi networks until I restarted the phone. When it is connected though, is picks up even the weakest networks in my area. 14Mbps DL on Essential, 12Mbps DL on my 2015 MBP Retina.
I get speed test results on WiFi that pin my Internet connection's capability (nominal 50Mbps but I do see numbers in excess of that from time to time), so no real complaints there. HOWEVER, until Pie showed up the last Oreo update had horrid problems with throughput going to near ZERO after ~20Mb or so was downloaded. Pie fixed that.
WiFi range suffers a bit here. At the end of my house, I get no reception at all, while my old Nexus 5 and Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x have rock solid connections.
WiFi signal strength seems to be about 30% or more lower on my PH1 compared to my LG G5 side by side using WiFi Signal Meter Pro
Is there a know fix or is it an Pie issue?

Pretty horrible on original rom. But original rom is full of bugs and bad coding.
I have note 5 plus original rom and mi max lineageOS. On chrome and 4g note 5 plus takes 5x time to load page.

celluar strength is very good, I don't have any issue.
Cell strength and 4G LTE throughput are both excellent. The phone is running on the latest version of MIUI (as of a few weeks ago, which I believe is Android 7.0 based. I have heard that another update to MIUI to an Android 8.0 based system [Oreo] is coming soon).
I'm sorry, I know I'm supposed to be rating, but I have a problem, and I need help.
Phone fell in water, and it cellular network reception keeps disappearing every 5 seconds or so. Here in Nigeria, I'm unable to fix it because no hardware spare parts available. What do I do please?

Your only option is to put the phone somewhere as warm as possible, even hot (not direct heat, I mean like the inside of a car, and not in the sun), for a couple of days to let it dry out THOROUGHLY, including, one hopes, internally. If it doesn't work correctly then your only choice will be a new device. They often will work fine, though, if everything is forced back to bone dry from an extended period in high temperature that can penetrate through to the middle of the device and get water evaporating from there.
Do NOT charge it, either, until this is done.
Which means I'm a day late and a dollar short. Because I'm already using the phone, but with Wi-Fi. Problem happened about a month ago, I dried it in every way possible before powering it again. Still, cellular network fluctuates. Guess the phone is now toast...? ? ? ?
