Why I think the iPhone 4 is a big piece of crap?

Have u heard about you can actualy return the damn phone these days? It's very hard process for lazy people and whiners, but you get a full refund.

Sorry pal but it is true. Every device with an antenna will have the same issue. Your body effects the radio signals. Its not an iphone thing or an apple thing or a droid thing, its a cellular radio thing.

But your body affects the antenna in a completely different way with the iPhone 4.

Once you complete those circuits, the antennas get detuned and you lose signal.

OP, are you getting a case or bumper? This will solve the detuning and maybe help you with losing signal.

Hey, Cap'n, they're all over e-Bay.
Sorry you had the iPhone 4 experience you did...some of us have had none, or very few of your troubles...
But instead of whining here, why not just return your iP4 and use your energy to find a used 3gs and get on with your life?
 
yeah I have an iPhone 4 and it is a turd wagon. Only works right now when hooked up to power cord. Something about the battery over heated and now when it gets a little low on juice it drains out then dies and only works when hooked to direct power.

and who ever changed my sig line to read thread starter. That is real funny teach me how to do that cause I FAIL at the interwebz

Well, bought the phone like everyone else and had the drop call and weak signal problem. Well updated the software and now it will not stay on and drops calls kike no other. I called my buddy earlier today and he heard my voicemail instead of my voice. This joker is going right back to ATT cause this phone is a disgrace and should never ever have been released. It is the worse phone apple has ever produced and they need to do something for all those that were loyal to their brand. I bought the phone thinking it would be up to Apples reputation. So, I sold my old 3GS and went all in with this phone. WRONG,,,, this phone is crap and I will be getting out of it if I can. They should never have released this piece of crap.

If your iPhone 4 is in new condition, I'll trade you for a brand new 3GS. No joke.

They tested this thing in California where you have 10 bars on every street corner. In rural areas it does not work as Apple intended. They suck---- I wish I had my 3gs back

Just wondering, have you ever been to California? Considering that Cupertino is where Apple HQ is, I assume that's where they test. That's near SF, which has horrible ATT service, and is even closer to Santa Clara, where I get horrendous coverage.

On the voicemail who's voice did your buddy hear, and how did he know it was you?

The line under your name that says "Thread Starter" is on every thread.

And I really don't believe you about how it doesn't work unless connected to a power cord. Video or I don't believe it.

Honestly I have antenna issues, but I suck it up and A...avoid grasping the bottom left firmly or B...use the case that I have.

They are doing something.... RETURN YOU'RE GOD D*MNED PHONE AND QUIT B*TCHING!! Watch the d*mn antenna song video, then leave, return your phone. come home, realize it was a mistake, then b*tch about how you shouldn't have returned it. That's usually how the story goes.
 
Yep, everyone with an iPhone 4 has the same exact experience that the OP has. Obviously that is the case, and obviously this phone is a piece of crap.

Dude seriously, you must have a bad phone, which can happen with anything that you buy. I have had the phone since launch day- no signal issues, no dropped calls, the phone is perfect.

I agree, take it back. Get another company's phone- I'm sure they never have problems, right?

Except for the millions that ARE working perfectly in rural areas all over the world. And I'm not sure how having 10 bars on every street corner in California applies to this issue, maybe Californians are just really thirsty.

I live in San Francisco and my bars went from four to one bar after the last update. So no, us californians don't have ten bars on every street corner. Ps I use the 3GS.
