Easy "fix" for iP4 antenna issue...

[puttputt]

I put a small piece of clear adhesive laminate (about 1.25" long) over the antenna gap and the "bar loss problem" is drastically reduced. Now it only drops from 5 bars to 4 if I'm gripping it tightly in my left hand/palm. This laminate is similar to Scotch tape, give it a try!

this is what the supervisor at Apple told me over the weekend as well. he put scotch tape over his phone so he wouldn't have problems. also suggested nail polish.

Just tried a small strip of scotch tape and it appears to be working. I guess we'll see how it holds of for now. If there's no fix in the next few days, I will most likely be exchanging mine for another i4. I think they all exhibit the issue, it's just a matter of your service area, but it's worth a shot.

Like I'm really going to do this every two days when it starts to peel off from being in my pocket.

Maybe free apple bumpers for all!

I got the bumper and the signal problem is solved but I'd like to get my $30 back since it's required to make the phone functional. Sent an email prayer to Lord Jobs to request this but so far no answer.
