iPhone 4 Drops Calls when Left Corner is Touched

[TellxJelly]

LOL We got a good connection. 2 Bars.

[RileyJBecker1997]

My 4 doesnt lose calls. But im with telus in Canada :)

[fham2]

That's beacause the iPhone 4 has network issues, and so with no signal it's impossible to keep calling :/

[1super5tar]

Tried that with my 4s and didn't loose the call :)

[ImAKillZoneFan]

Don't happen to mine with an otter otterbox case on it haha

I've just got some of my favorite apps!

[thecheetodude24]

Who honestly holds an iPhone that way? Only a guy with the hands of a gorilla would hold it like that.

[4evrskater]

@thecheetodude24 gorillas and humans have the same hand shapes.

[Aislan4414]

People keep telling me to stay away from the iphone 4. Even people who work for ATT.

[3l415926535897932384]

i have tried this on my aunts iphone 4 and I did lose a bar or two... or three

[SLAAMIT]

@3l415926535897932384 u have a random utube name :P lol

[DempseyBloom]

Probably because the aerial of the iPhone 4 is on the bottom left.

[b3yonc3knowles]

omg what a shit! people will think you're impolite

[leonisbold]

Iphone4 is for righthanders that's why ;-)

[Scissorify]

[KyleKryptic]

same problem with the iPhone 4 whenever I took the case off and held it without it on when I made a call I guess you should always have at least a bumper on the iPhone 4

[73126]

That is because at&t is bullshit!

When a make same thing i have always

4 bars!

I life in Switzerland, and here no problems with iphone 4 antenna?

The provider here is excellent!

[spaghettiman28]

i love justin beibers taint

[iJBeezy]

That's where the antenna is.

[Olafty]

I just got a referbed iPhone 4 and I keep getting a crackle sound and some of the time can't hear the other person at all. They also can only hear the crackle sound. I took it to the Apple store but naturally it worked fine there. I was wondering if it was the death grip but I don't see how it could be because I hold the phone in my right hand which doesn't even touch that bottom left corner. I also have a rubber case around the phone preventing me from touching the metal. Any ideas?

[Olafty]

@Olafty I should also mention that I have an AT&T microcell tower so I have a perfect signal at home where the crackle problem happens the most.

[jgrant095]

that's so stupid. why would you make a call?!?! so much easier to text :P

[vNijkamp]

just take BB

[aabsc]

Just get a Windows Phone 7 and you don't have to deal problems plus you get a much more powerful phone.

[Arminas1781]

It was a Apple issue, they admitted it. The were giving out bumpers for free for a while, they have the same issue on the verizon iPhone, I herd.

[jhooligan11]

a video on piss ups brought me here

[GenuineBolino]

that corner is the signal corner

[breakdancemovezz]

mine isbetter

[simonso88]

youre not supposed to be left handed.

[johnyt3st]

Mine doesnt do that

[zeljp]

ha mine does exactly the same thing! I am with AT&T

[zeljp]

ha mine does exactly the same thing

[RafaVilla13]

wat da fuck iphone arnt as great as they make them seem haha

[garanixx]

@RafaVilla13 Of course they're not. Every device on the market, no matter how high-end, has its annoying flaws. And iphones are neither a cut above the rest, nor immune to technical issues. Apple and its legion of fanatical iFans just like to make you think so. After all, the iFans never have any problems with their apple devices, only regular people do. You heard it from Jobs after all.. It's not a hardware flaw, you're just holding the phone wrong! :D

[totalnathan1997]

Since January 2011 Apple bought out "batch 2" of the iPhone 4 which they said would fix the signal problems

And so far it seems to be working fine so no calls being dropped :D

[TheAllenxoxo]

turn off the 3g network to have a good signals.

[JohnathanBadini]

Great review! oh, and for those below who are still looking for an iPhone 4 for FREE, simply visit: freegiveawaysonline.info

My 18 years old son just got one from there

[hr24577]

It appears that signal issues were a big deal when the phone was only available from AT&T.I have had mine for a couple of months on Verizon and I have no signal issues.HMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!­.Maybe it is an AT&T issue,not Apple?

[koshpendiler]

switch from 3G to EDGE,and try again!!!

[koshpendiler]

3G off !!!

@shawnallebach is this real???

[grumpa3g]

I was constantly having this problem with my iphone4 before I got the case, weird. Not happening as often now thankfully, apart from that can't beat the iphone though, I love it.

[niggerhigger1030]

android is better cause theres this really cool feature where you can touch the phone at the same time you are using it..

[Exerus]

I cant help but laugh at Apple for this Despite the fact that i am left handed.

[lolitstinks1]

why doesn't the 4 have the facetime option? Usually theres a facetime button anyway even if you arent calling another iphone4?

[TheMmorpgmaniac]

thank goodness they fixed this.

[niggerhigger1030]

@TheMmorpgmaniac giving a free case doesnt really fix it...

[TheMmorpgmaniac]

@niggerhigger1030 I don't have a case for it. It just never happens to me. I guess they fixed this in newer versions.

[niggerhigger1030]

@TheMmorpgmaniac you are probably in a good signal area then cause they didnt change anything. unless you have verizon

[MrHedgehog888]

Shitty Apple tech.

[Sharist1]

it's beacuse your hand is covering the metal antina

[Shellsonimperial]

it does lower bars after a while but doesnt drop calls anymore

[Shellsonimperial]

people below are silly apple fixed this problem a long time ago thats why you arent having the problem anymore

[dinkthestink123]

i fucking hate being left handed.....

[Frasier016]

0:10 Iphone 4 is tha best!! what screen difference. U can say what u want but in Belgium we don't have any probs with the antenna issue thing.. everyone is very happy to have an Iphone 4

[devilsin88]

because the signal/ antenna is located on the bottom left side...im a lefty and i have more knowledge than this guy

[kannywhat]

I didnt have this problem yet

[SleepingStranger]

Belgium and the netherlands dont have this problem ._.

[damaila2010]

I have this problem to

[anipz90]

weird, my country have no problem to this death grip...american really have bad signal though ? Malaysia have no death grip tnx :)

[jocrazi]

[LuKaS2oo9]

@XshimiX123 ahhahahaha youre so right

[thiagoteles0]

Bad project

[gmayman1989]

I just got myself an iPhone 4 over here in Australia with Telstra, our biggest mobile (or cellphone) carrier. I've tried the 'death grip' but I only notice a drop of around 1-2 bars, generally full reception. Not affecting calls in any way, I guess whatever stock was left once the problem came out was fixed?

[Rocky9027]

@gmayman1989 omg thank god cause i was planning on getting one over here in austrlia and i wasnt sure

[MrEriko10]

It depends when you got your iphone 4!

If you got yours shortly when thay came out then maybe this shit happens but if you didnt it works fine cuz they fixxed them (:

I got my shit november and it works fine

[Robindahoodz]

Apple, don't just think different, Hold Different

[WeePepsi]

Why does everyone say iPhone 4's drop calls? Is it just to sell cases? I've had mine since late November and mine hasn't did anything like that and I hold it in my left hand all the time xx

[2008C6Vette]

Lmao...I just tried this...I called my friend & shit happend...! I still had all bars...Maybe its just your phone...I have the iPhone 4 as well

[icy1007]

Don't hold it that way. It's actually very simple. Get a case. That also fixes it.

[24cheesecake]

AT&T SUX

[TheCobyashi21]

Get a case

[HeartStrikerz]

get a case.. ever since i got one i have never had ANY connection problems at all

[xXthecustomXx]

hey look at this possibly apple meant to have the so called "death grip" to loose reception for like when your mom or grandma calls and you don't want to talk to them its a automatic loose the call situation i don't have a iPhone 4 yet but when Verizon comes out with it the 10th of feb i will sure be glad to try the so called "death grip " out lol.......have a nice day and great vids !

[Robindahoodz]

@xXthecustomXx

It is now confirmed. The Death Grip.

[saddlerackcowgirl]

@xXthecustomXx hahahahahh that's funny but a good feature then.

[N17771]

I tried to do this on my sisters iPhone 4 and the way you have to hold it is ridiculous! You have to hold it laterally as hard as you can... just use it as a phone you idiots and stop making it to be such a big deal.

[Samunderwood1000]

stop trying to look for a signal problem on your iphone 4 and just use the dam thing. I sure as hell am not gonna spend the hole day trying to make mine loose its signal. Perhaps i'll put mine in a steel box and then complain i get bad reception lol. This sounds like the over exagerated swine flu :D

[Trapani514]

your antenna on the 4 is on the bottom left, when you put your hand on it, you lose reception...

[TheProy123]

you prolly jerk off with your leftt hand..haaaaaaa

[rippopeye07]

Nice observation but the main reason is because of the steel frame of the iPhone 4 IS(repeat IS) the antenna of the iPhone 4

[420Homie420]

it is the phone!!!the 1st day i bought it i wanted 2 smash it lol(hense the reason of having 2 buy another phone) i had a sony ericsson p1i that wasnt ment to be used in canada so it had awful reception dropping calls&took 2wks 2 set up data by sending me different txts with programs finally 1 worked anyways the iphone 4 i cant get the volume of the headset up&my calender went all screwy&had 2 restart the phone&horrible in dropping calls i like everything else but will a case solve this issue?

[neoarcadezr]

i used to have a lot of dropped calls with my g1 and my droid i never had any problems with the iphone 4

[maxime0999]

put a protection on it.  .. .

[TheLoverpunk]

the network problem is in at &t only...

[TheBirdyyeses]

i guess your iphone 4 sucks! :o

[thetappy13]

why is your iphone 4 has no facetime button

[Garofild]

lol youre left hand is nearly touching the screen, and the touchscreen on the iphone is really sesitive

[1zac9]

its cause the antenna is on that side i saw it on a vid o.o smart one

[MsSweetcandy2]

The reason why it's ending the call is because the SIGNAL drops.

[DorianCro]

never happend to me. thruth is,the signal drops,but i can still call...

[MineCraftFilms]

Solution- Dont put your hand there.

Your welcome.

[AKULA9586]

You need itape lol! I taped my left corner and its works better! :))

[HiddePoel]

f ck. why is there no company that cares about lefthanded people.

you know 10% of all human (0,7 miljard) is left handed.

when im an adult and i beat apple (thats not gonna happen) i will always prefer leftys.

(im dutch)

[xXSadSnowflakeXx]

well if you're not left handed and you don't use your phone as a stress ball then STFU

[meandeminemforever]

GREAT. i get my new iphone 4 tomorrow and im left handed :\

[emnaq3]

@meandeminemforever me too

[mazeratixbox]

mine has no issues no matter where i press, sucks for you

[lonelyforeverloner]

140 apple fans disliked this vid..:P

[RaidenEl]

i tried something.. i have a very thin case on my iphone4 and when my case is on and my hand is on the part which "stops the signal" it doesnt drop at alll infact its maxed signal! but when i take the slim case of that 2mm layer makes a biiig difference! when i took it off and covered it with my hand/palm i lost signal? im gonna keep my case on i like it anyways :)

[AsdProtected]

funniest thing for this is the poor quality of at&t :) that explains the whole problem with the antenna issue.... get better services at USA... in europe.. this is not an major issue, we have good services, and i cant even get one bar to drop at any location, even at subway station

[alibrovidz]

You squeze it so fucking hard! IF you only just touch it it wont do anything. If you tightly squeze the fuck out of it it'll lose a bar.

[ipodmaster727]

did you get a free case that steve jobs said that all iphone 4 owners will be provided by apple with a case?

[PisiiTk]

win an iphone 4 at iphoneshare,org #OMG

[ChantillyW]

the little black strip on the bottom left side is the antenna and on the bottom right is the wi-fi not sure what the one at the top is though

[breannefain]

No, if you're left-handed, you're going to want to type and touch the screen with your left hand. Therefore, you would be holding the iPhone with your right hand. I'm left-handed, and I touch the screen with my left hand, not hold it with my left hand.

[EmoEllo]

poor left handed people, learn to use your right hand.

[MrNinefour]

its called getting a bumper

[Jeffaniel]

good thing i call with my right hand

[shupster369]

its cuz at&t is crap we dont have this in canada

[Charlie9071]

I dont konw about this video, i thought that on the iphone 4, insted of saying 'hold' in the menu when you are calling, its says facetime? Has a change been made to the iphone since this video or is there something wrong with his phone lol

[MmMuhreeyah]

good thing im right handed...i dont block that area of my phone

[RevaqOfTheLight]

Try with the bumper!

[Joncomm]

Thanks for the great vid

[P4PBEST]

I have the iPhone 4 and it doesn't happen like this so don't believe the hype

[fanuvgod1]

That metal that goes around the phone is the attenna. If you put it in a protective case it won't happen.

[aholatom]

What a surprise! Crapple makes crappy stuff again. :)

[mohderic]

this is weird... maybe due to the hardware problem...

[acly10]

if you dont like the iphone 4 thats ur fault

[vlove826]

i just got my iphone 4 it works good apple fix the problem with the iphone 4 months ago so get out and get your iphone 4 i love this cell phone.

[vancitypuff]

@vlove826 steve is that you

[marvin4578]

You're just asking for a dropping call if you grip it like that o_o'

[kylepeace7]

you stupid thats because thats where the intina is

[chr1stens3n]

I don't have this problem.

[SypesX]

it only happens to you..go and buy Nokia 3310 please..there will be no drop calls unless u want it to. xD

[madoo666]

@SypesX LOL

[bbyckskidzz]

What if you guys try to put silicone case on it. Maybe this would be fix the issue

[beaudjangles]

i'm in australia, i almost forgot about this issue until i stumbled on to this, i'm not sure of the standard in comparison of our mobile network but both 2G and 3G will not drop a call. i lost one bar on 3g when i smothered the whole thing. i don't use a bumper case just a screen protector.

[theTouareg2]

how about you be patient and wait cause the 3GS has the same problem maybe it doesnt fail as fast as the iphone 4 but if you wait it still drops the call and bro who cares who the hell do you know holds there phone like an idiot.. cause i only hold my iphone with 3 fingers

[NewLifeWay]

apple fix this problem in ios 4.1 just update you iphone 4 :)

[FallenSniper89]

The 3GS looks better in my opinion. It has more chrome and has a better feel... I like it more considering i own one & its Jailbroken/Unlocked! :D

[followerDISNEY]

would u give me one? ;)

[m33man]

:\ Seriously... What fool is going to hold their phones like that to lose signal anyway ?. anyone who holds their phone like the way you are must be some seriously retarded people :s

[snipers28]

they said they had problems ypu need to buy a bumper case

[fbibreakdancer123]

I need help..........

I just got a iPhone 4

When someone calls me

It always says unknown

I need help asap please!!!!!

[Jorgelicious1]

@fbibreakdancer123 Yahoo Answers Please?

[fxrsniper1]

Another great piece of Apple crap.

[Maadiah21]

@fxrsniper1 Fail....

[doubletime16]

its just your service provider, at & t is garbage and yes the phone will lose bars but i've only seen at&t phones actually drop calls

[WRITINGUNDEROATH]

WHAT'S A BUMPER?

[dean383]

Im sorry but if i worked for Apple i would hunt you down and give you a slap with the phone and ban you from owning one , i bet your a right tit !!
