Phone is slow and loses signal

[blueymom]

Has anyone switched from iPhone to galaxy? Do you think its worth it? And is anything thinking about switching from galaxy to iPhone? I dont care for Samsung. This phone is slower. I lose signal away from my wifi router in bathroom. And back of the house and my husband who has a onePlus 8 phone has no issues. We use our phones the same and I barely have any apps . My phones so slow. I'm debating switching. Only big apps on my phone is my 3 work apps (that I recently downloaded) premom, one game app called Love and Pies. And banking, pandora, ect.

Learn how to use Android. There are vast differences between Samsung and Apple. Android is 10 times more customizable. Also, which Samsung do you have? Apple is a closed system, everything must come from Apple. With Samsung and the few resident apps that come with it (which are pretty good), Android is open source, meaning you can add, change and delete just about anything. You can even change the entire look of the home page.

I have the 22. It seems like all the samsung products I have has issues. My samsung tv keeps exiting out of app, specifically hulu. Only thing I have with no issues is my watch but it's just a "me" issue. The 5 pro is think? The green light hurts mt wrist. I only use it for texting because I work in fast food.

I'm surprised you are losing signal as well. Maybe it's a defective phone from where you got it from? I live in a very rural area and I get great signal when others don't have any

I have no idea. I live in Michigan, supposed to be a great spot. My wifi is through xfinity. I can sit right by it and phone will go slow too.

Wow I'm surprised to hear that. If you don't mind me asking can you try a different model from your carrier and what model is it that you have if you don't mind me asking. I have the S24 Ultra and it's been working great and I've been using Samsung for years and I'll give any help I can.

Xfinity is your problem. Worse Internet carrier to have. Switch to Verizon. Or if you can to Tmobile WITH Starlink. I promise you xfinity is the issue.

Sounds like the opposite of me. My iPhone 15 pro Max has horrible signal quality. Gets 2 bars while my s23 right next to it on the same carrier has full coverage. On a long bike ride out of town last summer my iPhone had no signal and I was unable to use Apple pay. My s23 in the same location has signal and allows me to use Android pay. 🤷

Android has far more features and if you use your device like a computer Android is far superior. If all you do is call and text go ahead and overpay for a fruit phone.

I use my phone maybe like a laptop. I love taking pictures on it. I pay bills and have like 2 diff email accounts.

And I know my friend went to iPhone but he's going back to Samsung when he can upgrade so I guess it's also personal preference too. Also if you use Wi-Fi on your Samsung do you have it set up in the phone settings properly? Like the band to 5 ghz preferred and all that? I'm trying to think of anything I can to help you out
