    Samsung Galaxy S3

    I have it on Sprint and am thinking of returning it. I don't have the same coverage I used to have on the original HTC EVO 4G. Wondering if anyone else noticed reduced signal/bars.

          S3 on AT&T here. I'm really loving this thing. Has good coverage-at least as good as the iphone 3gs (AT&T) I came from. Awesome, huge display, good battery life, lightning fast on LTE, micro sd, excellent video and still photo. Best phone available currently. Highly recommended.

            Have you tried to setup wifi calling ?

            I have tmobile service and I got no cellular connection at home but as soon as I setup wifi calling I get crystal clear calls.

              I have terrible coverage on my S2 but thats just because sprint sucks. No wonder they offer unlimited 4G, you can never get a signal

                I've made it a point to update PRL almost daily but I think it's a matter of the phone not being tied in to the Wimax/Clearwire towers.

                I have 2 days left to return it.

                    I have an S3 on Verizon and the Reception is fantastic. Wife has Iphone. She gets 1 bar and I get 5. Dude I think it's just your service...not the phone.

                      My Galaxy S3 on Verizon has bad reception, much worse than my previous phone (DroidX). I'm not too pleased.

                          The 4G is only used for data and not voice.
