UK: Does your iPhone4 have a dodgy antenna?
- Thread starter MrSingh

yes.
if you do make sure you make the antenna join on the left hand bottom side only as described on front page.
I do have my bumper case though.
Screen does not seem to have yellow tint issue.

i think i will buy my reserve today....
i won't buy a bumper yet as apple may offer a freebie to everyone due to this issue and i guess i can return it if they do a recall which if it is a hardware issue they will have to do.
however i'm beginning to think that somehow it's more to do with iOS4 because quite a few people are stating that they are replicating this issue with their other iPhones...
anyway, at the store, i will pull it out, get it activated and pop my sim inside. the main thing is that i don't want a yellow screen - if it has one, i will ask for a swap there and then. if it has the antenna issue guess i will live with it...for now....

My one has a bad antenna
I am on O2 in case anyone is wondering.
damn - i'm on o2 too :-(
Yes, it does.
Simply touching the metal antennae doesn't affect it.
Touching the bottom left isolator *does* reduce the signal to 1 bar.
Touching the top isolator *does not* reduce the signal.
The last point leads me to suspect a manufacturing default in a batch rather than inherent design flaw...we'll see.

Yeah, i've got the problem. Tested with orange and three sim. What concerns me even more is that it occurs even with my bumper (although not as bad)
this is probably what your referring to OP I have the same thing happen if I have the bottom left corner in my palm and I touch the top left corner
