In the same room comparing my iPhone 5 with my new Moto X, I get ~78dBm signal on the iPhone and ~97dBm on the Moto X. Is the Moto X reception just that much worse than the iPhone, or should I contact Verizon to see about getting a replacement?
Same network type?
No. iPhone was 3G and X was LTE. Wasn't thinking when I posted this, but soon figured it out. That explains it all. I wish I could turn off LTE on the X just to compare the same signal types, but I can't figure out how...
Oh well, thanks for helping!
Why was the iPhone 5 only connecting to 3G? It is capable of handling the 4G LTE network on Verizon Wireless.
As for the network level on the Moto X, that is a decent signal for LTE. It isn't the greatest, but it certainly isn't the worst.
It was only connecting to 3G because it was my old phone before I got the Moto X. I activated the Moto X, so the LTE on the iPhone 5 doesn't connect anymore.
