Had to Return It

Well i finally broke down and returned my note today.Sad sad day,i really liked this phone alot.I've posted a couple times on my reception issues and just couldn't take it for 2 years.I know that people who live in an 4g/lte area get great speeds.I got good speeds too so long as i was in a strong area.I'm not in a strong area and the note could not pull in and hold a good signal.I guess it was reception issues.Poor signal strength.
I got my SG2 skyrocket back and now i am back to normal.The note dropped to edge constantly and even when it did read 4g it really struggled,very slow.The skyrocket never goes to edge and it super fast.Tested in same areas and same times of the day.Note would get 650-900kbps down and 168 up,the skyrocket averages 3800-4200kbps900-1200 up.
I don't know if the phone was defective or not,I did notice a difference between the 2.I didn't want to take a chance on getting another and having same issues.I sure miss that big pretty screen but the reception issues were just to much.
 
Definitely sounds defective. Side by side my note gets slightly better reception and speeds than my wifes skyrocket

Both great phones
