There isn't a signal problem on the 4S. What button are you touching that's making this happen?

It's called attenuation. That will happen on any phone or transceiver device.

As an example, tune an AM/FM radio into any station and then hold onto the antenna. Notice how its reception and quality are degraded; after you let go it will get better again.

Same thing happens with all cell phones, iPhones included.

My Sprint iPhone 4S doesn't do that. Maybe it has to do with T-mobile's radio frequency? I would advise to put a case on it, like iPhone 4 owners did in the past.
