Lets say you and I are standing beside each other, your phone shows 4 bars mine shows 3, we can both text and make calls. You and I both have the same phone, mine shows 3 bars and yours shows 4. If they work, what is the big deal. Is it system degradation or is it just two different phones showing different signal strengths. My Jeep Grand Cherokee might get a fraction more or less mileage per gallon than someone else with an identical Jeep Grand Cherokee. As long as they both run, it's moot.

Have you noticed that you are unable to make phone calls or send text messages in areas that you were to be able to before?

I've noticed a dramatic drop in bars today too. In fact I just looked at my battery use and 20% is from cell stand by, which is extremely high. I'm stumped

Not just that but connecting apps such as Skype just spins and spins, I have to actually forceclose & re-login. Then I will be in the middle of a call and it will just disconnect, like I've been on a call too long when I was 12; & mom would hang up for me! WUWT?
