Analysis to date
mykull has been doing a top job tracking all this in his spreadsheet - he's updated it with the input from 250 users who have contributed to this thread. 19 of these users only provided week numbers and not information on the reception/yellowing issues.
I've updated the chart summarising the data (attached). Here is a brief analysis:
Overall
Overall, 59% of the phones are experiencing reception issues and 4% the yellowing.
By Week
Although there is a lot of variance in the number of phones being reported by week of manufacture (the majority of phones reported - 57% - were from week 25), the week seems to have little significance in the reception or yellowing issues.
By Capacity
Of the 150 posts that have provided the phone capacity, 69% are 32GB - this is roughly in line with earlier reports that the 32GB was outselling the 16GB by 2:1. Interestingly also, of those posts with capacity provided, 70% of the 32GB phones suffer reception issues, whilst it is only 55% of the 16GB phones. The yellowing was consistent at 4% for both.
By Factory
I haven't checked the other thread on factory of manufacture, but from the tiny sample provided on this thread, it seems that the issues affect phones regardless of factory.
An ANCOVA of the various variables on reception issues doesn't provide any additional link between the different variables (i.e. the separated items above show pretty much the whole story).
Please keep in mind that this sample size is miniscule and that the content is highly subjective (e.g. opinions will vary between what is a reception issue and what isn't). Thanks mykull for your efforts tracking this.
