so is it a location, i.e. ATT issue you are trying to prove or A hardware issue, i.e. Apple)
2nd, There are 1.5 million 4s out there and other than this forum of which there are several hundred people trying to "replicate" failure how many people are really UNhappy?
Replicate
a close or exact copy; a replica.
a repetition of an experimental test or procedure.
If people have to experiment to make the phone fail what does that mean?
If you follow my advice (replicate) and drive your car with your foot on the brake your brakes will fail EVERYTIME, however the 4 only fails in SPECIFiC instances involving location....i'm confused WHAT are you trying to prove?
Well you imply wrong and you may want to join me on that logic lesson. I'm not here to argue, I'm here for hard evidence and 33 posts in and nothing. Time will tell I guess.
OP is mad.
OK, you got me there. I did mean infer though. But I do think you are here to argue or you wouldn't be demanding "prove it." You can believe what you want to believe. I take people's word at face value when they say they have an issue. I'm unsure why its hard for you to understand some of us do not have the issue.
Even if people have two phones, it's likely they were made in the same factory, same lot #, so they are likely going to have or not have the same reception issue. What does your experiment really prove? And you see how difficult it would be for the avg. person to video it. You are looking in the wrong place. This is something maybe for the folks at MacWorld or Engadget.
Here you go, TWO iPhone 4s side by side. Neither have an issue.

Move on man, this thread isn't for you.

too hard to deal with questions or are you the only one allowed to to ask them?
People who dont have the issue WILL NOT be posting here..give it a little thought before running your mouth about who threads are for...
Read the original post. All you have done is prove my point.
Here is my proof that it doesn't effect everyone!

I filmed this 3 times, but the first two didn't have sound, in both of those previous tests holding the phone with the left hand performed equally with holding it touching it as little as possible, (Actually it performed slightly better in both cases). When I filmed this one I did have a slight drop of bars at the beginning but it had no effect on my data, and the bars recovered quickly. I believe this is more of an issue with reception in your area combined with the design of the phone, rather than a real huge issue with design of the phone. But as you can see, the left hand, and covering the black lines have no effect on the quality of the signal.

Great job, Nikos! Now, only 1,599,998 more phones to go and we can finally put this thread to rest.
I think what the OP wants is a video of one iPhone 4 WITH the issue and another iPhone 4, NOT exhibiting the issue in the SAME location. In essence, that would prove categorically that it is a hardware defect and that some iPhones are NOT affected.
His point is that so far no one has been able to do this. Please correct me OP if that is not what you're saying.
I'd argue that if one phone has problems with the signal in a certain area and another phone does not, there is a problem with the design of the former.
Some people are simply not going to be able to accept a reduction in signal quality.

Spot on my friend.
just to clear things up:
For the phone to loose signal you need to cover the left black line on the rim - effectively shorting out the bottom and left antennas.
I'm tired of people saying "My iPhone doesn't have the antenna issue, I'm holding it in my left hand and the signal is fine".
Well yes, it will be fine if you are not touching over the black line.
Simple: Every iPhone 4 has this issue.
I don't demand that anyone proves it. I'm just asking kindly that they do. Do you not find it stange that no one has so far? It's not hard to video something to be honest, anyone that can use an iPhone can take a video clip.
