isn't this exactly what happened when Jobs was trying to demo the phone?

Juicy D. Links · 06-23-2010, 05:35 PM

anybody here got the new phone and want to Facechat with me?

Don Pueblo · 06-23-2010, 05:37 PM

i will wait. my motorola razor works fine.

ProG · 06-23-2010, 05:38 PM

This method also works with your new iPhone. Thank me later.

UniqueD · 06-23-2010, 05:52 PM

Juicy try doing it and making sure you arent bridging 2 of the antenna sections together, i wonder if it only happens if u touch the 2 antennas together. One for phone, one for gps/wifi i think...

DateDoc · 06-23-2010, 05:56 PM

Huge thread about this on Mac Rumors. Issue is widespread with more people having it than do not. This looks like a huge fuck up!

Interesting design flaw. Guess that explains the dropped calls AT&T was getting flack for.

Is this for real?

its hard to imagine that you can develop something like that for 1 or 2 years and not notice

It's probably an intentional fuck up on the phone's design just so they can sell what would almost be a mandatory peripheral. Still hilarious either way.

If that helps, they should give them away.

I think people knew calls were dropping, someone just figured out why. Apple probably knew for a while but had no real fix.

The external antenna is a new feature to the iphone 4 that released today/tomorrow. Completely unrelated to any dropped call issues in the past.

We got 30 days just in case to return this shit right?

Mr. E · 06-23-2010, 06:40 PM

LOL at all the iPhone fanboys that were slamming the Evo for its problems and build quality. EVERY phone has issues but this is the 4th time around with Apple and they only have ONE phone, unlike HTC that makes dozens. You would think Apple was smarter than that.

UniqueD · 06-23-2010, 06:51 PM

juicy try this will ya damnit!

"The problem only seems to happen if you bridge the left side black rubber separator.

I can use my index finger only and bridge it and this problem happens. However I can cover up almost the rest of the entire outside band, and as long as I dont bridge to the bottom section I keep 5 bars."

FOr someone interested in marketing this is really important.

You seem to post on all apple threads where people are being excited about a new product calling us all Apple Zombies.

Why?

What do you think you achieve?

We all know we are apple whores, we all will buy the products The Great Steve gives us and we don't really care that some people don't like apple products.

Do you think name calling will change our minds and we all switch to nexus1s and windows 7?

No.

So does it make you feel better in some way? Is it cathartic for you? Do you feel better in yourself for calling us names?

Whatever the answer, don't you have anything better to do?
