Poor signal since 3g switch off

[JAMESORCHARD]

Any one else got poor service/signal since 3g switch off? Think vodafone 3g switch off is a step backwards. My s22 ultra is always warm from always searching for signal since 3g switch off! Before I could get a steady 8mbps now I'm either getting nothing or  rarely 150mbps when 5g appears I've got to put my phone on silent at night to stop all the no service notifications 😑 poor show vodafone I'd rather have a reliable signal than this occasionally 1bar 4g or 1bar 5g

Peter uses Network Signal Guru, which also only works on rooted Android I believe.

There's some very powerful functionality in NSG, but some of the "basic" stuff is available in other Android apps.

Hi @japitts , thank you.

You can use Network Signal Guru in normal mode without root. Only advanced mode needs root and other stuff. I've attached a screen showing the level of data you can get in normal mode. I've also installed Tower Collector which contributes to the OpenCellID.org project.

Between the two of them, it confirms my beliefs regarding 4G at my current location:

-81 dBm upstairs

-118 dBm downstairs

You're quite right, I'd forgotten I have NSG installed on my Android. But it doesn't really do anything that other apps can't also do - just presents the data differently.

The neighbour list is slightly easier to view than other apps, but a user without some knowledge of the radio interface could easily be overwhelmed.
