Went from the first iPhone to iPhpone 4~not impressed

[xmtgx]

To tell you the truth ever since I put a case on my new iphone 4 I never noticed that signal fluctuation no matter where or how I hold it now.
So it really does help.

Yea from my findings, it has to do more with how far you hand is from the antenna, more closely, how close to the gap between them. I can get it to lower bars if i put my finger close enough but not touching it. More then 1-2MM's away though and it doesnt mess with it.

Hold the phone in the middle like a normal human being and you're fine.

In areas where the signal is weaker (3 bar average) I can wipe out all the bars, even using a bumper. The bars also disappear in my pocket, making for a lot of missed phone calls. But at my apartment, across the street from a tower, I can't replicate any sort of issue.

The iPhone really needs dual antennas for cellular voice and data service.

I did put a bumper on it and it still has more dropped called than my iPhone 1. I live in the Minneapolis area so I have plenty of 3G coverage. I will wait two weeks to see if this gets better.

To all the doorknobs ripping this post. All I want is what I paid for. A phone. The rest of the iPhone 4 is worlds above what I had but am I crazy to ask that the phone part works just as good or possibly better than the first iPhone.

Worste thread ever!

Why do people like you make up things on these forums? Just 4 days ago on June 8th you didn't have the iPhone 4 and posted the following:



And now a couple days later you magically have one and are unsatisfied and only have 2 weeks left of your 4week return window? If you are going to troll then at least don't be completely sloppy about it...

WOW...LOL @ THE OWNAGE

But it does happen on the 3GS without a case. I had it happen on my 32GB 3GS and now on my new 8GB 3GS. I never noticed it in the year that I owned the 32 because I always had a case on it which would explain why there were very few complaints about it, people used cases because they were readily available. We hear about it so much on the 4 because tons of people are not using cases/bumpers. My bumper solved my problem on my 4.

this is not true..maybe of your 3GS' but I just tried on my 3GS...no drop, no signal loss whatsoever
