iPhone 4 Drops Calls - How to Fix It

[realeric]

Issue: "iPhone 4 consistently drops call when we are touching the lower left corner of the device."

How to fix it?

A. Permanent Fix:

• Conductive anodizing on WiFi antenna => Nonconductive anodizing.
• Conductive anodizing on UMTS antenna => Either conductive or nonconductive anodizing.

B. Temporary Fix (Fix it yourself):

• Bumper
• Case
• Non-conductive Tape

C. Example (It works for me):

Sorry to be a noob...

What exactly is non-conductive tape? And did this completely fix your problem?

That's clever, showing there is a problem, at least with some phones. I was getting suspicious when people said using the bumper fixed the problem, that made it a bigger deal than your hand just absorbing some of the signal just by obstruction. If a strip of cellophane tape solves the problem then either some phones are defective or the antenna system was ill-concieved.

Non-conductive tape is tape that contains or is made from non-conductive materials such as rubber and plastic.
