Wifi Issues - Round 2

I posted this in this main wifi issues thread. But don't felt it belong there. Can anyone else test this below.

(Copied from original Wifi thread)

Here's how I could cause the wifi to become practically dead. Similar to iphone 4 antenna issues.

Note: Last night I had issues without doing the above, but once I manually selected a different server it went back to 30Mbps. The issue above doesn't matter what server you're testing against.

Mine just freezes in the middle of the download or sometimes the upload part of the test.
Does the same wether I touch it or leave it on the table.
The wifi has many issues on these new iPhones.

Yes. I was trying to keep those threads separate.

Applejuiced said:

Why?
It's the same wifi issue.

No. This is similar to the antenna issue with the iphone 4 cellular as stated above. My wifi works fine until it is held in the aforementioned position.

How about if you hold it like when playing games or typing? This position looks quite forced and unnatural.

I agree unnatural, but was discovered accidentally when watching a video in landscape orientation.

I've updated the original post to include the video of my testing.

I am having WiFi problems as well. I don't have to grip my phone like that either, just cover the top glass part on the back. I was printing something earlier wirelessly and set my phone on the table and it stopped printing halfway through until I picked up my phone again. This was through a 2.4ghz G wifi, 70 ft away from the router.

I'd visit the other thread. This thread seems to directed toward a hardware issue.

This is strange...My test goes off the screen holding the phone in various positions....A bad batch of antennae?

Maybe. I'm going to get Apple to take a look either at the video or in store. I feel its a problem that extends to more than just my phone, but was hoping more would try this out.
