This wasn't caught since Apple undoubtedly field-tested this iphone in cases, so that no one would spill the beans (which wound up being spilled all over the place anyways).
This same effect is what turns on and off those touchless lamps.
I'll be damned this works .................
At least for now and where I am now .
Being very careful to sit in the same place and hold the phone in the same way.. I got it to do the drop signal ............... then I reset the network settings, re entered my wifi pass and held it the exact same way ....... before within a min it would start to drop bars.. now I held it for 4 and it never dropped even one bar.
nuts.
Try it folks can't hurt
Can confirm resetting network settings is fixing the problem for me as well, simple fix. Question is what did apple forget to do when first setting up the phones.

Will the issue be resolved? Yes.
I am baffled as to how this is working at the same time as being amazed. Anyone got any thoughts on how it's making a difference?![]()
Just read the article on this at engadget... this part struck me:
Three different iPhone 4's. Two unaffected. One showing problems.
Same location/network/band/signal strength etc. -- so that removes those variables from the equation.
It's gotta be a quality control issue, NOT a design issue. If it was a design flaw, all of engadget's phones would have shown the problems, not just one. They tried to replicate the problem, and could only get 1 of the 3 to show it.
Makes me feel better that it doesn't appear to be an Apple design problem affecting every phone, but at the same time, I feel real bad for the workers at whatever Chinese factory was responsible for the bad batch(es).![]()

Nope, this does absolutely nothing. I've tried it repeatedly and made certain that I am keeping my hands in exactly the same position. The same signal and data loss occurs.

i'd rather not use a bumper or case personally.
Interesting. So it's worked for some, and not for others. Also, not everyone has the problem.![]()

Problem already fixed people. Jobs just announced a new iPhone case that fixes the problem.... iHand for iPhone 4

More evidence to it being antenna related. Just keeps coming.

My theory is the issue is only affecting one of the two AT&T frequency bands (800 or 1900). Hence why everyone is not experiencing the issue.
