What's weird is that I put three strips of electrical tape on mine and it caused the signal to drop.
Interesting. The signal doesn't drop anymore for me with the tape, maybe because I used only a minimal strip of tape that covered only the joint.
Given the hard, non permeable nature of the metal that makes up the frame, it should not even leave residue, and if it does, would be very very very easy to simply rub off.
sheesh
You buy an expensive new phone and have to use tape so it works? 
...how is that acceptable?
Wouldnt you have to apply new tape once a week as it is bound to deteriorate from wear?

Dont' care.
That electrical tape has been on there over a week and I took the picture today. There is no degradation. I think it all depends on the care you take in applying it.
