Looking at your video, your speed isn't good. Maybe your cell signal is poorer then the bars show to start and you are actually going from 1-2 bars to 0.
Can you replicate this in other locations where you get better speed.
Got a tip for us?

What are you deaf? Apple said its hardware and they are not going to fix it. Read the Anandtech review, especially the final words about the messed up design. What more does anyone have to say or show to get you off the fence?
Nice Apple, reaul noiyce.
As far as PR and legal issues are concerned, Apple is not stupid.
They know this is a design flaw and this is not even an attempt to fix the problem. How can it? It's not even software related.
They are doing this as a preamble to the upcoming class action lawsuit, nothing more.
Very sneaky Apple. Shame on you.

Yayaya it's a big conspiracy by apple they are trying to make you crazy. I think the real problem is that you should return the phone
LOL. I've read this entire thread on my iPhone 4 over 3G, holding it in my left hand. Pages loaded very fast, no issues.
Way to go Apple!

I also dont have dropped calls in places that i used to have. I dont have calls drop any longer after repositioning my sim card either. But there is obviously an issue with the IP4. Yes, we all know we can return it if we are not happy. But i dont think anyone wants to return it. Call it selfish, spoiled or whatever....people want their cake, and they definitely want to eat it! Those that are upset with Apple want to have a functioning IP4, free of problems.
I dont think its too much to ask for....
Why does it have to be a hardware design flaw. Maybe it's just a faulty phone and should be exchanged. Lots of people are having a data lose when holding the phone a certain way but even more are not (they lose bars but calls do not drop).
I notice it a little on my 3GS after I installed 4.0 on it. So I agree with the software being the problem.
If you're within 30 days (which you are), then return the phone and buy another, if you want another iPhone 4. Or try a different Apple Store for warranty exchange.
That said, I find it hard to believe that they won't exchange your phone if you're having an issue and no troubleshooting helps. I've done warranty exchanges before and the process has been pretty painless.
The issue that everyone is complaining about is an easily resolved issue. If they choose not to return it, or do any of the suggestions to remedy the issue, then they are just being dumb. You, on the other hand may have a defective phone if a case doesn't help. My beef is not with you.
NEWS FLASH! You don't have to read every post. You're allowed to skip around.
1) Good option
2) Why your getting so upset. It's just a phone. Take it back. Why should you get compensation??
3) Not sure what difference this would make
4) Valid option
