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.

I just switched from Apple to Android. The phone part isn't too bad. Takes a little getting use to and is quite daunting for some things. Wearable devices is something entirely different. If I knew then what I know now I would have stayed with Apple for the wearable alone. I miss the accuracy of my apple watch.

Honestly, if you're planning on switching, and you're set to do it. Go with Pixel as it's the easier switch from everything I've read. Kind of wish I had done that instead of Samsung. Live and learn.

Can I use my samsung watch? I only use it for texts at work.

I like my galaxy/android in general, more customizable, and the watch is less dorky! I switched from iPhone when the S23U came out. If my phone is slow, I use Good Guardians, an app from the Galaxy store, and use the app booster function. You can also go into memory guardian in that app and customize at the bottom, then switch to speed up top app mode, which will provide a boost as well since you only use a few apps. There's more of a learning curve compared to an iPhone, but I don't see that as a bad thing because it also allows you to tweak your experience further as time goes on.

Have you looked at your router as well? I noticed a MAJOR improvement when I switched my ISP to fiber that includes a wifi 6 router. Sometimes, the power is turned down too by default on routers, but you can go into the settings pretty easily to adjust the strength of your existing router and bands. If you have two networks named like 2.4 & 5, you can also name them the same thing and that will combine them into one network and help the phone to access the network more efficiently.

Also, make sure your phone is updated in settings and apps are regularly updated from the Galaxy store for the best experience 😊

Oh I have my phone and Google play store on auto update. I'm sorry I'm not good when it comes to terms. All I know is I play for unlimited data for xfinity because I have multiple gaming devices and home security devices on my xfinity network.

I had xfinity and was having spotty internet so I switched to att and my experience improved because they just expanded fiber internet by me, which uses light instead of electricity for your internet signal which allows for much faster speeds and they don't charge you for the modem!

Try this app though! The app booster and the memory function will help you out hopefully and it's easy to navigate.

I had the S23 U and then I went to the S24 U and I'm staying with the S24 U this time. The S25 seemed to be a downgrade to me
