Why is it that my husband and I have the same exact phone, which we purcahsed at the same exact time, but I vary rarely have 4G (let alone LTE!). More often then not my phone is at a 3G or a 1X--what does that even mean! It's contstantly dropping calls because it says its searching for signal. It's absurd that we're paying $700 a phone for one I can barely even use. I've tried resetting to factory and removing the SIM card for a few minutes.....nothing. We swtiched from TMobile because we couldn't even get reception at our house. When we first switched to Verizon I was so happy that I could get reception anywhere, but for the last month, maybe 2, I'd rather go back to TMobile at this point. Im so frustrated!

We know it’s important to have signal wherever you use your phone, Lurch702, and we want to do all that we can to offer you the best possible service. Let’s get to the bottom of this and take a look at the Advanced Calling setting. Is this setting currently on or off: http://spr.ly/6587BJgDZ ? We’d like you to run a test and slide this setting to the opposite position that it is now in. Let us know if this alternative setting makes a difference.

Have you verified the phone is set to LTE/CDMA mode in the cellular network mode and not Global mode?
I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

Ann154, I have. I have tried both Global and LTE/CDMA to see if that makes a difference. At most, it's only been a bar difference in the recpetion I was getting. Can you suggest anything else? I had the Note 2 and LOVED IT, thats the whole reason I wanted to stay with this phone.

FenwayGirl,
We definitely do not want you disappointed. My concern is that you mentioned you & your husband have the exact same phone but you are unable to use yours. You also mentioned doing a factory reset but no difference. At any point, have you had your sim card replaced? This can be done at any direct Verizon Wireless store location or through customer service at 800-922-0204.

My husband and I went to our local Verizon and told them the situation. We explained what you had suggested and the Rep told us that wasn't going to make a difference. Then, he and another Rep who were working just continued to talk horribly about Samsung and the Note 4. It got to the point where I actually told the Sales Reo that he was not doing Verizon any justice as far as us being Verizon customers. We left feeling even more irate and feeling like they could have cared less about helping us because thats "just the way Samsung and their Lollipop software work."
At this point I am beyo d upset that we left TMobile for this sort of service and we would like to know what Verizon plans on doing to make this right.
