IDEA: iPhone 4 antenna test, can you do it please?

[troop231]

I don't have an iPhone 4 yet, but does anyone have a pack of hot dogs they could touch a hot dog against the left seam bridging the two pieces of metal to see if the signal degrades? It may sound silly, but it might have some meaning.

um.

 

[rotobadger]

I would do it but what would my wife say if she walked in on me.

 

[Ferris23]

If I have to carry hot dogs I'm taking this phone back. I hate hot dogs.

 

[komiothebeat]

will turkey sausage work with this IDEA? im all outta hot dogs

 

[rotobadger]

What about a sausage? Would a sausage work? Or does it have to be a hot dog?

Does it have to be kosher? Or just regular?


EDIT: Lol! komiothebeat just beat me to it!

This was one of the dumbest sounding things Ive heard all day so of course I tried it out and it does nothing, now im feeding the hotdog to my dogs

 

[slpdLoad]

Still frozen? Room temp? Microwaved? Grilled?? Lol

No sure how this is different than a hand or finger making the connection.

 

[troop231]

It was a valid idea Not as silly as using a hotdog as a stylus at least.

haha I see where you were coming from but just read the post and it sounds pretty ridiculous, but I cant really say that since i just put a hotdog on my iphone

I can't believe I actually tried this, but I cut a hot dog in half (to get a flat side) and put it against the seam. My signal dropped off almost immediately.

Theory proven: not as silly after all.

 

[dmx]

Yeah. I went from 5 bars 3G to 1 bar of edge.

 

[jdrew]

My iPhone has a wiener, it's O-S-C-A-R... I hold it next to the iPhone to try and loose some bars...

The means of the experiment are still quite humorous to me still lol

I think I missed the theory, but I'm interested, please explain?

Hard to explain, but such a lol of a thread.

 

[jdrew]

Anyone willing to try it with a rubber dong and see if there is still an issue?

 

[Guitar7272]

I understand the logic behind this, what with the hotdog and sausage styluses... but it's just hysterical to think about people all over america rubbing tubes of processed meat on their shiny (expensive) new devices.

Lol, exactly! Never intended this thread to be hilarious, but what you mentioned is

 

[Nykwil]

no sausages are going near my phone. find your own dogs of hot to use thank you very much.

Did it taste any different after?

 

[jayducharme]

I'm vegetarian. Maybe I'll slap a slab of tofu against the phone and see what happens.

 

[IBradMac]

I laughed.
