Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Fido / January 2004Signal meter low on M55?
This is a question for the M55 owners: I just got a M55 from fido and I notice the signal meter is very low. In places like my home where I got 4-5/5 on the Samsung or motorola, I just get 2-3/4 with the Siemens even near the window. Do you know if this is just the calibration of the meter or if my phone got a reception problem? Tank you for your help. THERE ARE NO STANDARDS FOR CELL PHONE SIGNAL BARS. This means that you can NEVER compare the readings on one phone to another. These are simply guidelines that are relative only to themselves. Just get used to what readings mean what, and forget what you've see on any other phone. The M55 has excellent RF performance, and all that counts is how well it works, not what a few silly bars on the screen say.  SignatureSteve Punter http://www.arcx.com/sites He's right, every phone measures reception in a different way...so you cannot compare it to other phones.... > THERE ARE NO STANDARDS FOR CELL PHONE SIGNAL BARS.

Yes it's probably just the meter since I try it in a very bad spot and it perform as well or better than the Samsung, I also compare it with another M55 and the two phones show the same reading. So it look ok. > THERE ARE NO STANDARDS FOR CELL PHONE SIGNAL BARS. This means that you can NEVER compare > the readings on one phone to another.
