JWDUKE01, this is not the behavior we expect from the Galaxy Note 4. When did you notice the phone was doing this? What zip code are you in when this is occurring?

I noticed it started a few weeks ago, that it started doing this. As for zip code, it is everywhere. Sioux City, IA Sioux Falls, SD,, Omaha, NE, Kansas City, MO just everywhere. Plus I drop calls quite frequently too.

Have you verified which network mode the phone is using? LTE/CDMA mode or Global mode? Secondly, have you reseated or even replaced the SIM card yet?

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

No I haven't checked to see which network I am using... How do you do

this? Yes I have reseated the sim card but that didn't help any... Thanks!

Settings - wireless and networks - cellular networks. That's the menu path for my phone. It might be slightly different for your phone.

JWDUKE01, thanks for helpful information. It’s very odd that you are experiencing this trouble everywhere. Please try to reset the network settings on your phone to see if it gets any better for you? https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-204906/ How long has this been happening?

It has been doing this the last few weeks. If I restart my phone it will

quit doing it for a little while, but then goes right back to doing it

again.

Thank you for keeping us up to speed, JWDUKE01. I assure you we want nothing more than to improve your overall experience and we appreciate you working with us.
Does the phone have the newest software update (settings > system updates) applied? We understand that this issue began a few weeks ago. Do you recall making any changes to the phone around that time? We also recommend you run a diagnostic http://vz.to/1tuzrWq on the phone at your earliest convenience to check the overall health. Please reach back to us when you have the opportunity and we will be ready to continue helping.
