This may be an issue of the P3 having 600 and 700 MHz band support, but I get full LTE coverage in my office in a high-rise building where my Nexus 6 used to cut out on T-mobile. Nice improvement.

I can confirm that it is bellow the P20 in this category.
But nothing serious. Will compare further if I get the chance.

it's good, no complaints here. then again i live in the netherlands which has a full lte coverage.

Only a handful of countries/networks have CA combinations defined for them.
3x CA LTE-A works on those that are defined, otherwise you will stay on 2x CA max.
4x CA is only defined in a few MBNs (Vodafone DE and some French ones seem to be the only ones in Europe).
2x CA on uplink is not supported.
Here is a list for CA combinations on the Pixel 3/XL.

Otherwise 256QAM and 4x4 MIMO work fine. Reception wise its ok too.
It is however not the phone you would use if you wanted to go hunting for 1gbit LTE.

Hi guys not much info in here.. Did some research and turns out Pixel 3 phones are notorious for poor signal and call quality. Looking at how long the issue has been around for I'd put it down to actual hardware not being up to scratch. If you need a phone with good reception and/or make calls frequently then give this one a miss.
I cant post links for some reason? but look at issue 124412355 on google issue tracker

Seems fine with no major issues. Haven't had any dropped calls. Used the Essential Phone for a while and this is quite good compared to that phone with weekly dropped calls.

So far it's receiving signal better than my old 950xl and a s8. Noticeable difference as I have my work mapped out mentally as to where signal sucks(I thought) and where it's good.
10-20% signals on both previous phones at my desk, now it's a solid 60% WITH lte+ vs the others were always hopping between lte and 3g.
Mine appears to have a better signal then my older HTC and S8 plus.. Not to mention the GPS on Waze while on my S8 plus would sometimes be off and move around, so far my Razer has been perfect.
I am having in call issues. I am using Virgin Mobile on my Razer phone and one of my friend uses koodo on his one plus 5t.when on call I can hear him fine but he cannot hare me. He is the only person I have faced this issue with and same is for him. Not sure what the problem could be. Any thoughts.
Appears to be fine. I live in a remote area where coverage is scarce.

Like a freaking BoSS...
At my in-laws place, the network is so weak that with all my earlier phones, be it MiA1 or G6 or U11, I had to go outside to make a call that too at a particular place.
And FORGET about using Mobile data ever.
But then comes Nokia 7 Plus...
I call people from anywhere and everywhere...
I watched Chelsea vs Huddersfield live on Hotstar streaming.
While others suffered with their mobiles...
Freaking BAWSE
I would say that it is awesome. As a comparison my wife and I are on the same network and both of us had the same LTE network bands.
At times my wife's Mate 10 lite / nova 2i would lose signal and mine will still have excellent LTE signal.
But there's only one complaint is that the phone, despite of me selecting manual network, it will then change back to other network. ( I received 2 bands of LTE network at my place one is faster than the other and both have strog signal but it will always go back to the slower one).
Easily goes into 4G+ mode and hence, higher speeds.

Does anyone nokia 7 plus heat up during weak coverage...mine get extremely warm to 45C when coverage is very weak.

That's normal for most if not all phones. To avoid this try locking into a single network like 3G only if 4G is weak
Great signal quality and coverage here as well.
Like some phones( sony and samsung for example) it heats up a bit and use a lot of battery during low signal quality.

I got better signals quality than on my OnePlus 5.
does it work on tmobile? i see its missing band 12 unfortunately. a little worried about that

Yes it works but you will only get 3g and hspa+. I also noticed that I would lose signal indoors.

Great on open area but drastically dropped inside or behind walls. I got roughly 60mbps outside my house but when I Wa inside the best was only 7mbps. Distance between the front and inside is only 2 meter
Are you talking about the Zenfone 5? If you bought the global one it doesn't support the necessary LTE bands to work in USA.

Coverage is good, mind you this is in comparison to the OnePlus 6.
On band 2, I get several better dBm readings on the Asus, but for whatever reason, I'm pulling much faster speeds on the OnePlus 6. Asus will be sitting at -90 dBm vs OP6s -96dBm.
I just did a test on the same server in the same location and the Asus pulled 74.5 Mbps DL whereas the OnePlus 6 pulled 113 Mbps. This leads me to believe 4x4 MIMO is not active or it is not utilizing T-Mobiles 256QAM technology. My guess is 4x4 MIMO, and I can't test if it's active unless I root.

The Airtel Network (GSM) on my USA unlocked LG G7's reception signal works nicely even at weak areas. 4G LTE speed sometimes work awesomely even less than 1 bar. Love the LG G7!
I have noted no regression from my P9 Plus, all connectivity and throughput works just fine. Compared LTE network(4G) speed with a friend who has Galaxy S9, we had identical downspeed being in the same place at the same time. 80Mbit/s at the edge of the city, the G7 had slightly faster upspeed of 56Mbit/s vs 50 flat for the S9.
Noticed that i always get 4g signal whenever i go to my work. Which is unusual for my previous iphone. Great cellular strength!

My sprint g7 thinq lte is almost non existent
My Sprint phone, shows LTE all the time. But doesn't mean it actually has it..
My theory is that the flat ribbon signal wires on this phone are not as good as your conventional antennee wires you see in any other phone.
not so good, now i'm with a sony z1 compact because my lg is at service, the sony have 1/2 bars of signal where the lg g7 have no signal
not really seeing much of an improvement in signal strength over the lg g4, doesnt seem to hold 4g or lte any longer when going inside concrete buildings or going further out to camping grounds where i may get no signal. only throughput seems improved able to pull 170mb dl compared to g4 80-90mb dl from the apartment
I have issue with network connectivity. Getting less network for Jio sim and pathetic speed
Ive been on T-Mobile US for years. I've had several Chinese phones of supposed less quality and yet all of them run circles around the T-Mobile LG G7. Wifi works only half the time. Having issues watching videos on youtube connected to the wifi. I thought it was just my router, but it happens at any wireless router I connect to. I was getting better reception on the chinese phones inside and outside of my house!! Needless to say I will never get another LG phone again!!

Yep and LG Fanboys think it's the greatest phone on the planet.
I plan on switching out to a Oukitel K9 or Ulefone Power 6. Going back to reliable phones!

My G7 thinq have so bitter network. I'm getting very slow internet speed & very fewer bars on the screen where I've Nextbit Robin, Mi Note 6 Pro & iPhone 5 SE which works very fine on same network & getting more network bars than my phone.
On the best network in the middle of the city or town centers, I'm getting 2-4 bars. But as soon as I enter a building it can go 1-2. I feel it's not great. I can call, but 4G doesn't move. Falls back to H, 3G and can't even load a website
I wonder if this is an LG thing. I've owned the G3,4,6. I always end up with LG, as galaxy too exp, and LG has the best mix of value. At home I can't get 4G inside the house.
Her Galaxy seems half-1 bar better.

My recent phones i.e realme 3 pro and 5 pro had relatively bad indoor cellular strength, internet speed was lower than other devices indoor but was fine on outdoor.
Thanks realme fixed this in x2.
Excellent strength both indoor and outdoor.
Edit: i talked to customer support and got to know that none of realme phones supports carrier aggregation (4g+),in my locality indoor receptions is low so 4g+ is a must here, as realme phones don't support it, indoor reception is really poor and slower internet speed.
I think I will be trying to enable it with tools from xda, as this chip supports it, but maybe or maybe not our devices lacks required antenna.
Indoor receptions have some issues.
Very slow internet speed indoors sometimes untill you put the phone on and off of Airplane mode.
Could definitely be fixed by software updates though.
Same problem with my unit too!

hello,
as you mentioned the problem,its exactly the same with me!
tried speed tests with moto one power with same jio sim and found my X2 is consistently giving about 1.5 times less speed from that phone!
researched a lot and found moto has 2CA and my device even with sd 730g which supports 4CA is giving ****ty results bcz realme doesn't bother enabling it!
if you have any solution please let us know!
thanks
Can anyone help I have realme X2 but after software update I am not able to use lte 4g it automatically connects to 2g
I have done factory resets
Apn settings
Force lte
But still I am getting this issue..
Please Help
