Help! Getting poor signal on my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 N920C

yummypinacolada on 29/03/2016 - 21:37

I just bought Galaxy Note 5 N920C, I know that its not Australian Version so its missing some of the LTE bands. I don't mind using 3G, as I never download big files on my phone. The problem is the signal that I got is really poor compare to my other phones(Lumia 530 & Nexus 5). I never get 4g(I already prepared for this), and my 3g signal is always below 15%. Sometimes it even lost its signal. I checked that the phone should have all the 3g bands, I wonder what's wrong? The poor signal also make my phone warm at all time, even at standby mode.

Is there any setting that I can do to setup the 3g band? Is there any way that I could set the phone to listen to Australian bands only?

Please help me fellow Ozbargainers. I just unboxed my phone and now I really regret to buy this phone.

    Try a firmware update. The latest version is Android 6.0.1. Run the Samsung updater and see if any software updates are available.

      Thanks, just started downloading the firmware update. I'll see how it goes.

          Nothings changed. I just changed to vodafone and all works perfectly now.

    In my experience Samsung phones have always had slightly worse signal strength (Although I'm not sure if that's still the case with the N5), unfortunately you do have to live with that.
