I am using Airtel, Jio and Reliance GSM 4G sims in India and I have compared signal strength of Note 8 with Redmi Note 4, Nexus 6P and LYF Flame 1 mobiles.

And I found Note 8 to be having the weakest signal reception strength. Same pair of sims when used simultaneously on these phones, (not nexus 6P as it is singal sim) Redmi Note 4 and LYF Flame 1 never had any issues with signal reception. But with Note 8 both Reliance GSM 4G and Jio sims are having almost no LTE signals and for Airtel where other phones show all 5 bars, note 8 have 3-4 bars.

I am not sure if this is the problem with just my phone or others as well in India.

same bro my phone also strugling

Sometimes my internet connection "freeze", the connection icon on the status bar it's ok but internet doesn't work anymore. The solution is turn off and then turn back on the connection and it'll work. Any ideas?

Is it when you are on mobile data or wifi? Maybe your router if the latter?

If your connection is slow, it is probably because Cricket throttles the top speed on their plans. To quote Cricket:
"The Unlimited Plan (previously the Unlimited 2 Plan) offers data speeds at a max of 3Mbps". You have to get their "Unlimited Extra" to get any faster.

Sorry I did not means test that last comment what I was trying to say is yes I'm aware that they throttle the high-speed internet I am currently on the unlimited high-speed plans that they will swaddle after 22 gigs however I still managed to go over a hundred gigs every month when and if they do throttle it it's hardly noticeable....it's nothing like when they swallow you from LTE all the way down to 2G network

but I do have to say I certainly do have a love-hate relationship with this phone it is by far the best and fastest phone I've ever owned however because of the current bootloader I'm on it can't be rooted therefore I hate this phone and I'm ready to throw it in the garbage but I can't throw it away because I love this phone...but hate it.etc.etc

keep in mind that depending on who your provider is the 4G and LTE are probably the exact same thing the 4G and LTE are only describing what came after 3-g Network....... Depending on your provider

I've had my Note 8 for about a week. In comparison to my last two phones (ZTE Axon 7 & Essential Ph-1), this phone seems to have a more stable cellular connection. The signal does not read much stronger in various utilities, but it keeps the connection in spots where the others would drop the call. Using sm-n950f (Exynos) on ATT in USA.

Cat 16 on my Note 8, Cat 12 on my life Mate 20 Lite. On same place she's phone opens everything, web, Instagram, Facebook etc. fast without any slowing. My Note struggles like hell. Same operator, same mobile data. Little confused. Is there something else that I've missed?
