Poor WiFi Performance?

Anyone else having any WiFi issues? I work on an upper floor of a nice, thick goverment hospital. The WiFi has normally been OK for me with my last two phones (S2 & S3), but today is my first day at work with the GN3 and all I get is "Network disabled because internet connection is slow". Yeah, it's always been kinda slow, but my other phones and my tablets hook up anyway. This wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for the fact that the thick building blocks a lot of the 4G signal; I've got to be in a room with a window (AKA "Patients Room) for a decent signal. So I've got this badass new phone that can't connect to the internet a lot of the time.
Anyone have any suggestions? I can't find anything under the advanced options to convince it to connect. I'm sure a nice custom ROM would probably help, but we all know where we are with that at the moment.

Make sure that's not checked in the advanced wifi settings

For me, it seems to be on par with other devices (ie HTC One, LG Optimus G Pro, GS4).

Now that the phone is working, I thanked you from my Note. Stupid VA blocks most of these images on the desktops, including the "thanks" button LOL.

Nice Night Clock or Always On Watch Face

I started using this for my night table when charging at night. I'm not too sure how it would do with battery life if you use it as a watchface but I'm planning on testing it.
It has great brightness options. You can dim it for night use by swiping gently down or raise the brightness by swiping up. The little details in the lighting are nice. When you dim the brightness you see the shadows of the digits and days of the week. The disappear when you fully brighten it.

Can anyone alleviate my fears that the image would be burned into the screen after extensive use?

I agree, that will probably be a problem.
I had a Galaxy S3 that burned in badly after leaving it lit all night for a few months on a nightstand.

I was wondering about this too. My wife's phone which is a fairly recent moto model had terrible burn-in just from basic use. You can see her homescreen apps pretty clearly.

Can someone take a low light test shot please?

Considering getting N5 for the wife. One of the main reasons she uses a smart phone is the camera. My S4 takes HORRID low light shots. They are more noisy than girls when Justin Beiber shows up at a middle school.
http://patentlystupid.com/sw/2013-10-05%2014.40.31.jpg is a good example, as you can see the subject is darker than the background the phone was stabilized on the arm of my chair I was sitting in and there has been nothing else changed about the pic. How does the N5 do in low light situations?
Thanks!

Under my desk at work before sunrise. Too dark to read under there.
Edit: I tried to take a comparison shot with my Nexus 4, but it was mostly blotches of black.

Took this one last night after sunset. Hdr+ was turned on. Honesty I think the camera is quite good for low light still photos. Much better than my note 2.

So far its looking like low light is as noisy as S4. I was hoping with the lower res camera there would be other camera improvements. Hmm...

Best low light camera I am blown away

SuperCurio did a wonderful set of comparison shots. https://t.co/HiR0k4Q2cd

Isn't there already a photo thread which already has low light pics?

Images in text messages ?

Not sure , never had this issue before. I receive some kind of low quality images with some of my text messages. Can anyone advice what it is please and how to turn off? Thanks.

I actually like that feature & leave mine on. It comes in pretty handy sometimes.

How so? Just asking as maybe I'm not understanding it's functionality properly.

It basically shows a preview of any internet url, not sure about webpages that don't have photos. The preview kind of sucks as it's limited but somewhat gives you an idea. That way you don't have to click on the url to figure out what it is if it's not familar to you.
One example, one of my lil brothers used to send me youtube links that were gorey, etc. He knows I don't like viewing them. Now he can't trick me anymore.
Or if you happen to receive spam texts or texts from parties unknown you can get an idea of what the link is instead of having to visit a url that might be harmful. I don't know, I've never received spam texts or from people I don't know but just a thought.
I can see how it can be annoying to some but at least we have the option & can turn it off as desired. To add, the stock Gallery has a new feature I've never seen before (maybe the S8 had it, I don't know). If you take a screenshot of a website it'll include the url so you can visit tge page again in the future. I have it turned on but have not tried it yet.

Make sure to not check this option and on the phone you have to turn off pocket mode too but i think overall it might not work because the proximity sensor is blocked with a flip case
