Whenever I switch from portrait to landscape my iPhone looses wifi and 3G connection (mostly wifi tho). It also happens when I hold the top antenna bands. This happens with or without a case on. It's most noticeable when playing games or typing in landscape mode. I've tried resetting network settings and doing a fresh install of ios 5. Plz help :( I'll try and post a video of this issue.
 
Mine doesn't do this. Maybe its defective. This is not normal. Make an appointment with a Genius ASAP.
 
It's weird because the wifi antenna is in the back, I do loose some 3G but its not as much From -60 to -94


None of my iPhones do this.. Does this happen on ANY WiFi you are connected to?

I can only test 2 wifi networks but both do the same thing
 
Getting a consistent -60 to -90 drop with a spike of -130 :(
Tried calling my carrier and resetting my network with no avail.

How are you knowing the db loss?
