I Posted this subject in the Note 4 forum as well. I have an old Droid Razr Maxx that is rock solid, has great reception and very reliable. I bought a note 4 late last year I think it was and brought it home home....abosutlely no and I mean zero bars of reception wher eI always had 2-3 with the Razr and my wifes iPhone has 2-3 bars...fussed with that for the day and refuse to fuss more with a phone I paid hundreds of dollars for so I sent that right back to Verizon and reactivated my Razr. Well the note 5 came out and supposedly much better so I jumped on it...what the hell I like what it has to offer so again I toss my razr aside in hopes that the note 5 will meet expectations. Bring it home last night still a piece of junk with absolutely zero bars and no reception at my house. You would think such a large phone would have a large antenna surface area and would at least have the same if not better reception than smaller phones. At my house mind you I do roam on A Canada cell tower that our other phones have zero issues with expecially in Global mode. Guess what another note 5 will be heading back and I will not be trying another. What good is a fancy expensive phone when the cheaper models work better!! Frustrating....
