I'm so sick of all the complaining threads!! If your iPhone 4 works flawlessly like mine please post here!

I've tried death gripping, covering the entire band, and still get full service with no dropped calls. Share !
 
A few minor bugs but still very pleased with my iPhone 4. As far as the reception issue, yes, I have it but only when I take the cover off. :)
 
Coming from an Iphone 3G I am amazed by my new Iphone 4. I use a case on my phone so the reception isn't a problem for me.
Once a jailbreak comes this phone will be even more amazing.
 
My iPhone 4 is pretty much flawless. I can't seem to replicate the wireless issue with the death grip. No green spots on pictures, no yellow patches on the LCD, no dead pixels, nothing. (knock on wood)
 
Don't really need another one of these threads there are already several out there. However seeing as the mods here on MR don't feel the need to merge the 100's of duplicate threads related to i-4 issues why not make another + one.

I have no issues with my i-4 and couldn't be happier with it's performance and looks.
 
*waves* Hi.
Good black 16Gb; If there's anything, I haven't found it yet.
Hurry up and make some white ones! :D
 
I have a 32gb iPhone 4 that is working great. I can duplicate the reception issue if I hold it naked (the phone, not me haha) it that special way with my left hand in a low signal area. But in practical use, I have NEVER had a dropped call or noticed the bars dropping when I'm holding the phone.

Aside from that, I love everything about this phone! That said, I have to admit I have a Droid X on preorder from Best Buy and will be trying it for several days before deciding on which one to keep. I am pretty sure it will be the iPhone 4 that I keep, but curiosity has gotten the best of me, and I plan on doing some comparisons to share with others as well.
 
EVERY single iPhone has the death grip issue but certain iPhones have other issues. Depending where I am, I can sometimes replicate the death grip issue and sometimes I cannot. After playing with about 10 different devices in numerous areas, I can pretty much guarantee the antenna issue is a problem for everyone whether they notice it or not.

That being said, I don't think it should be an issue for most people. Most of the time, I REALLY have to have a tight grip around the bottom left antenna (something I would never do in real world use).
 
Mine works as advertised and I'm loving it!

With bumper...without bumper...left handed...right handed....standing on my head....standing on my feet....sitting down...in my car...at my office....in the shower ... in my underwear.....walking my dog....in the dark...in the light... :D
 
Been using mine for 1 week to make sure but yes its perfect. Went from a 3G ti iphone 4 with a 2 week stop on the EVO and the 4 performs the best in every respect. If I clamp down around the sides with my hands I can lower the signal but I have had no problems In normal usage. :D :D :D
 
No one should feel so insecure about their phone as to need to create a thread like this.

Lots of people are clearly experiencing a vast number of problems with their iPhone 4. Just because you create a thread to declare how your "sick of these complaint threads", does not magically mean none of that exists.

If you like your phone 4 so much, just be happy with your own situation, and let other people sort out their own.
 
Mine is perfect. Signal issues of course, but in my area, I have to really hold the phone hard and it only drops to 2 bars
 
Good post

Got four IP4's in our office yes we can make the bars go down but we try our best not to, even when we do "hold it wrong" it's not an issue we can still make phone calls,
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT
THAT'S FOUR LOVE IT'S
actually that's five.

OK...so they can all complain, but we can't rejoice? :rolleyes:
 
To prove your point even more, I think you should all post a youtube video showing the problem doesn't occur on your individual phone. A simple 15 second video of you placing your palm over the problem area, and showing the full strength bars.
