Galaxy S20 FE 5G - Network issue

Solved
Freeteck -  

Hello,

I just got a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G and I've noticed that the number of signal bars is quite low. Half the bars in some places while my old phone is at max without any issues.

Moreover, I feel like the 4G, 4G+, and 5G speeds are pretty average (Free but still).

Is there anyone with the same phone or has anyone encountered this kind of problem before?

Thanks!

    Hello,

    If you force in LTE/4G, do you have the same level?

    And there you go, that's it....

    But misery, how annoying the line spacing is!!

      Yes, it's the same,

      With the 4G option or the 5G option, the speed is fine, around 50MBs for both. That's okay for me, but what bothers me is mainly the fact that there are only 2 bars. The phone is great and has plenty of options, but if I get poor reception right in the city center, I can only imagine what it will be like in the countryside.

      Could it be due to a bad band or frequency being used?

      I understood that I wasn't the only one having this issue with this phone. Reviews on the Digital test sheet are similar to the problem I have.

      Thanks for your help!

      Bad frequency band used ....

      It's possible, but your mobile is supposed to use the best one for it; after all, you can't configure beyond 3/4/5G.

      After that, it's the mobile operator who decides.

      Well, for this specific mobile, you're the tester; we're not going to buy one just to test it for you, which would be pointless anyway, because it's specifically related to the location where you are, so tests elsewhere make no sense.

      That's why I'm asking in the first post if anyone has the same device as mine, since it seems to be a common issue for all the phones in this range. I'd like to make sure of that.

      I don't need to test elsewhere since the result is unanimous where I am. When I put my SIM card in other phones, the network is twice as good.

      If someone has this phone and can give me their feedback, I would appreciate it!

      Thank you ♥

      Indeed, the tests on all my phones give the same result in -DBM (around -100). Despite that, one has 5 bars out of 5 and my Samsung has 2 out of 4, it’s surprising!

      Could it be due to the Free network?

      Thank you

    Hello, I have the same problem as you and I would like to know how you managed to resolve it.

    Thank you in advance.

      Hello,

      I couldn't solve the problem. No matter the location, the network was very poor.

      It's an issue related to the phone model...

      So I changed my phone.
