Cell phone signal strength different on 2 phones?
I have a iPhone SE and recently picked up an LG Q6.
Where the iPhone at home and work would get 2-3 bars the Q6 barely gets a bar at work and keeps dropping signal and at home lucky to get 2 bars.
Even if I'm outside it's low on bars.
Is this just how it is or can this be dealt with?
The bars are meant solely as a guide and there are no standards.
If the phone works, then there's no issue.
There are apps for Android to see the actual incoming signal strength and unless something has changed since the 4S, Apple has this locked down.
Signal strength indicators,
even on seriously expensive consumer equipment,
are rarely accurate.
All you can do is learn to live with the differences.
- Why do people go crazy over the iPhone and other expensive cell phones? Some of those phones cost more than rent. I've never understood why someone would pay over $100 for a phone.
- What cell phone, and company, is the best for someone who just listens to music, streams shows/videos, and texts? Cheapest plans/phones? I occasionally talk on my phone, and/or take photos. Also, can I still get the food/ride share apps if I don't have an IPhone? I live in a mid-sized city in the mid-west. (over 100,000 pop. And over 70 square miles)
- My iPhone suddenly has weak Wi-Fi signal strength? This has been going on for about a week now and it happened suddenly. My 3GS suddenly has terrible Wi-Fi signal strength, meaning that if I'm in my room now, I can't get Wi-Fi while sitting on my bed. I have to be on the same floor basically as my router. Is there something I can do? Is there dust blocking something? Tips please?
- Why are little kids getting cell phones? I mean, it's crazy! I see these 6 year olds when I pick my sister up from elementary school. And not $50 phones, I mean brand new iPhone 7's! I got mine (iPhone 5s) because it was part of a deal with the carrier and because I was walking a couple miles home every day. But I see little kids getting phones for no reason! They don't walk home and don't go out by themselves. Why?
