    In what way do I need to own the phones to comment on signal strength?

    How would you know what the signal strength was like if you didn't have both phones in the same place at the same time to test?

    I have one friend over with a 4S, I have another friend over with an S3. We spent ages finding the exact place where the 4S has no signal and the S3 did, hence proving the S3 has better signal than the S4.

    Hard fact!

    That obviously doesn't chime with my experience then. So you're saying something is wrong with my S3 then?

    Well it's either a) something is wrong with my S3 or b) the S3 has worse signal than the 4S. Which is it for goodness sake?!

    Im sure it would depend on a lot of other things besides just the phone, like the network etc.

    What I do know is that whilst on the same network and using the same model of phone my work mate and I have differing signal strength whilst having coffee in a same place. Does that mean his phone is faulty?

    No idea thats why I'm asking the question to see if it's faulty or if it's just the way the S3 is.

    So you're saying you are incapable of using data to support an opinion?
    It's got nothing to do with incapable or not. Many uses have s3 and 4s write to express their opinion.

    Same as a lot of data is available for malware on android but still some have express their opinion to say never had a problem. Are people saying that wrong?
    If I was to send link to data showing malware numbers for Android on Google Play would you agree it's a problem sine supporting data is available?

    Others only need to search Google for Samsung S3 signal problem if interested in row data

    Only reason 23n1th is doing this to cover up any negative about Android. Stick to the point and let others read and make up their mind.

    23n1th is an AF (Android Fanboy) who will make anything up as long as its good about Android.

    Don't worry I've long since Sussed this! Defended to the death. You'd think it was some sort of religion.
