iPhone 4 Reception Issues (Update)

[the2012101]

just saying?

[the2012101]

not every one hold their phone like that

[TheRadiationSicko]

does the invisible shield maximum protection fix this?

[prnzhamzah]

i held my phone the same way and even put a nailclipper (metal) on the gap. But still, the reception doesn't drop. What am i doing wrong???

[missmahta1]

i did the same thing to my phone (which is not an iphone! ) and the same thing happened... the signals dropped. :)

[zoe745]

You know, there is an even bigger issue with the iphone. if you drop it, it will brake.

[MrHonwe]

@zoe745 "...it will brake" OH COME ON! WHY CAN'T ANYONE GET IT RIGHT? IT'S BREAK! NOT "BRAKE"!!! -.-

[zoe745]

@MrHonwe what ken I sey? not evry wan is as smart as you ar.

[TheCAMHUNT]

@zoe745 not if u have a protective case

[iMlindberg]

Who holds their phone so tight? Ohh wait! Another problem, your hand will eventually hit the buttons or the cancel button -.-. Seriously? A software update to fix a well known hardware issues that EVERYONE has been battling with. My old LG has an even worse issue, it lost all reception if you had just 3 fingers on some weird place on the back, worst part was, noone knew where!

[WastedGoosy]

what if your phone is in your pocket? do you have problems with reception?

[RyantheChimp1]

what if im right handed?

[Wobbler96]

@RyantheChimp1 then you will be able to hold this phone the way you should.

[RandeepHothi]

Cool thnx

[1993Maryan]

only Superman have that problem holding like that the iPhone 4:))

[StareX415]

All iPhone reception issues got fixed..

2011, September.

You are holding this wrong! this is why the bars goes down haha.

Well done.

[neocubedudes]

it was a huge problem, because people wanted it to be a big problem, they were holding their phone like that on purpose to piss apple off

[willkillforbacon]

only hulk would have that problem

[Jimmyfrominwood]

Sucks to be left handed when using this phone

[Seafutlung]

You're gonna crush the phone LOL

[MrShah54]

LOL UR HOLDING UR PHONE LIKE UR HAVING A STROKE

[Bradford1332]

imre1205 Well you know what? you got me, yes. androids(only some) are better than the iPhone4. :D

[Bradford1332]

wtrf i didnt mean to send t hat to myself

[MixtapeWeekly]

1st. who would actually hold it like that

2nd. who would squeeze it THAT hard

[Bradford1332]

Maybe he was holding the iphone4 his hardest. You can kinda tell by his hands and his vanes

[imre1205]

This is why Android is better and i never gonna buy an iCrap

[Bradford1332]

@imre1205 android sucks dick

[imre1205]

@Bradford1332 No it doesn't!!! There are hundreds of free apps in Android Market while in iOS you must buy almost every little shit. Android supports dualcore processors and you mustn't jailbreak it to make it multi tasking... And one last word about FaceTime or wtf is that, in other systems there was videocalling for about 3yrs and in Apple they "invented FaceTime" so it's BULLSHIT...

[xotishh]

@imre1205 Multi tasking is part the ios update you noob, you dont jailbreak your iphone. You can jailbreak iphones to get free aps..

[imre1205]

@xotishh Ok

1, Your mother is maybe noob

2, iCrap sucks with every Apple product

3, iOS and Mac OS is linux based so if you know (i don't think) linux is open source so Steve Jobs took the sourcecode from linux gave it a theme and changed the compatibility and voila the result is Mac OS which he sells for 50$ or whatever and that shit is based on a free OS and Steve jobs makes from it money and noobs like you are paying for a free OS... Ow and "Think different" haha

[xotishh]

@imre1205 You make me lol ;)

[imre1205]

@xotishh It's only my oppinion and don't call somebody noob when you even don't know him ;)

[TheLogitech05]

@imre1205

You must be a sad little horny one? Wanna date? I've got hair in my chest :)

[imre1205]

@TheLogitech05 Excuse me but i'm not gay if you want a date then date with justin Bieber. I'm not little at all and your nick is Logitech... that means only 1 word: jerk :)

[Bradford1332]

@Bradford1332 Well you know what? you got me, yes. androids(only some) are better than the iPhone4. :D

[madgamerz104]

I wonder how your suppose to hold the iphone sideways

[ChevYMaNJdS]

who in there right mind would hold a phone like that? maybe it wasn't made for left handed people !?!?

[UnrealGoalie]

I have verizon and i dont see a big problem here...why not just go on ebay and search to find the cheqpest case to solve the problem

[ahmedhanif911]

haha what a shit phone! go but a bb or nokia or android no issues who wants childish games and apps anyway

[residentevilfanz1]

This is why I have a 3GS:)

[1996link0308]

i only hold my iphone in my left while looking at it, so im fine with ni dropped calls with mine, cause i hold it to my head with my right

[imamember9]

Im in england and i have an iphone 3gs on the 3 network and i cannot get a good signal. Can you help me

[xlacky1]

@imamember9 with this problem this is not a phone issue its the signal/reception issue because over here the receptions are fine but idk how things work in th UK so call a tech support for more info.?

[ttrakful1]

the verizon iphone dosent do that

[MeBeIvana]

I tryed to lose signal on my iPhone4 by holding it the exact way you did, and I lost 3 bars...

I make a lot of calls with it, and I NEVER had signal problems... Maybe I was holding it the right way..

i -3 apple

[989stf]

htc :)))

[73126]

At&t is bullshit!

I have no signal problems at all !!!!!

[mlesureful]

you guys dont know this only happens only on the AT&t NETWORK NOT VERIZON

[TheTechChecker]

3% of customers had this issue. It wasn't as big as everyone made out!

[CriPPleDTiMmYy10]

duh shit

[opoopo345]

Who holds their phone like that

[hondafreak44]

@opoopo345 I hold my phone like that, but not that hard.

Its okay, i have a htc

[karahatbatahat2]

Old people do not understand how to hold the phone

[ThePucko97]

@opoopo345 @FACE2PIE , Fanboys... Deal with that iPhone 4 have antenna problems. Deal with it and dont try to defend Aplle. Its just stupid and dont make their prducts better.

[thetechhousereveiw]

@opoopo345 nobody lolz

[kazora1001]

lol mine dropped to 2brs

[Lotum4n]

Listen when i grab my buddies Android phone and i stick it in my ass i seem to drop calls all the time could this be a flaw ?

Isnt this the way 90% of the people hold there phones ? Maybe i am holding it the wrong way ? And now i think the Android phones are the shits . Lets get serious here people anytime you see a person with a iphone look and see if they are useing a protective cover on the phone which stops this so called issue and apple and AT&T are working on this issue thats with AT&T .

[paulharmz1]

All smartphones have this issue. It's just you tards that can't afford a iPhone that make a big deal out of stupid shit. My iPhone only drops calls if I'm in a shitty reception. AT&T users suffer more cuz their service is sloppy. This butthead that made the vid is just a complainer. Put a case on it and shut up!

[FACE2PIE]

dude no normal person holds a phone like that and if they do they should seek medical attention

[ahmedhanif911]

@FACE2PIE courese people do thats normal hold in in ur left hand to ur ear in that way stop backing ur shit phone and admit it go get a htc

[Bradford1332]

@FACE2PIE lololololol

[dan44762000]

its only a problem for people who hold there phone like a complete tosser ! i mean seriously who holds there phone like that....theres nothing to fix. NEXT !

[bluejester28]

That in your logo is a BISON, not a BUFFALO...

[yeahthatguy21]

Look if I just grab my phone from the top like so...I still don't have any signal -_-

[emilracerbil]

never had any problems... and also almost all phones got this problem -.-

[protsimer]

Thank you captain obvious.

Now get rid of the evo plastic junk and hold your iphone like a normal person.

[pst007x]

Remember when you buy a really expensive iphone and cannot even hold it in your left hand without losing reception... make sure you make excuses for Apple, because those excuses really encourage the company to resolve the issues... NOT!! It is not acceptable, if this was any other company, the shit would hit the fan, but for some shiny reason Apple says jump and you all say how high! Why is this? Are people really that stupid or really feel the need to be led?

[aleex141]

@TheWholeMatt that comment made my day LMFAOO

[sarcomatose]

I think all the iphone fans and all the anti-iphoners should meet in a field somewhere and fight to the death! cell phones are SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS!!!

[Harkin987]

if you throw a rock at a glass house what will happen ... the house shatters

if you cover the phones antenna by gripping hardely and holding it in a unusal way what will happen ... its loses its signal i fucking wonder why FUCK YOU

[Serpent6009]

Seriously? All you motherfuckers are idiot cocksuckers. Fuckin morons. Tired of hearing about this stupid shit you white trash motherfuckers in your fuckin trailer parks. I've had my iPhone 4 for 3 months. And nothing. Perfectly fine. But you fuckin losers with no fuckin lives got nothing else to do after your done sucking disease dick other than to talk about this. You hick, white trash, faggot ass cocksucking motherfuckers. Get a life. Actually don't. Just Eat Shit AND Die!!!!

[TheDman1878]

LoL at people saying "your holding the phone too tight" a solid phone is not supposed to do that even if you do have an Death grip. how does this sound "my bad my call dropped cause i was holding my phone too tight" or "my bad i was holding my phone the wrong way and the call dropped" that is unacceptable in any way. if im paying for a "Solid phone" i shouldnt have too worry about things of that manner

[dodgr82]

@TheDman1878 good point i agree who gives a shit how you hold your phone it should aways be in service when you need it . no excuses. i have an iphone 4 its cool and i havn't dropped a call ''yet'' but my buddy has the evo and his phone is way faster . and the droid system is awsome .

[TheWholeMatt]

@dodgr82 lolololololololol it's so easy to see that you're telling a lie. No one on god's green earth would prefer a batter sucking evo over an iphone. Now an honest opinion: my friend actually does have an evo, and his battery dies within 3 hours every single day. He recently had to purchase an extended life battery that makes his phone look like a giant black brick. Evo isn't as fast as the iphone. Iphone screen owns evo, not to mention camera quality, etc. Evo is garbage, lol

[dodgr82]

@TheWholeMatt ha ha ha ha dude your an idiot you have to be a realist . bottom line iphone is over rated the only thing on my iphone better than the evo is the screen resolution nothing else on a evo you can customize the shit out it in a matter of seconds. you dont have to jailbreak go thru cydia and respring the dam phone for every little thing ,look man i can tell your one of those iphone suckoffs that almost blows a load in his pants when ever you hear the word iphone so . fuckoff

[jack390]

@dodgr82 douche bag bought the wrong phone! xD

[SLYFOX944]

I have an iphone and it has some faults such as receptions,some apps runs or loads slow but i know one thing is that it beats other phones in (the graphics is 3d like,excellent picture & video quality...the htc evo equals that also)...but anything else,thats it!...jailbreaking?...itunes?.­..if apple was better than any phones why tou need to jailbreak the iphone ro give it more capabilities and more options or go through the itunes to sync tones,videos and transfer them on ya phone with the help

[IsMoKeYoU117]

Who would hold their phone like that during a call?wow

[pr0nGren]

So ... if ur left handed and holds it like a r-tard u will lose it ? :S but since 90% of the people are right handed this shouldnt be such a major problem

[dbst69]

Lol at 3:56 "down there and have your herm...fer...your hand"

[420Homie420]

ooohhh god i hate seeing these STOP SQUEEZING your poor phone its not that its just the skin contact mine does it just holding in those spots ive tested it and ive NEVER squeezed it i paid to bloody much to do that lol normally a case will solve this altho its absolute bullshit that you have to go out and buy and case when they cost what they do

[capoeiraberimbau]

iPhone is shit

[TutorialsForYou19]

@capoeiraberimbau Agreed.

[chronousnemesis]

Of course, Iphone is made from China. What do you expect? Maybe during the time when you hearing news about industry workers suicide, they making a rant by doing something like degrading the iphone signal recievability.

[faith72876]

Does the Otterbox make this a problem because I seriously don't plan on squeezing the phone like that

[faith72876]

Does the Otterbox make this a problem because I seriously don't that I plan on squeezing the phone like that

[bengoro7]

no dropped calls here

[Sean96864]

i dont have to hold it that hard for it to take effect

[Killer390]

For fuck's sake. Why would you ever hold your phone with that tight of a grip? Furthermore, a lot of people use cases for their iphone/other phones anyways. It's a good phone. Get over it people!

[VicTiMzZ1]

@SuperJackOfDiamonds who the hack says hack?

[SuperJackOfDiamonds]

@VicTiMzZ1 no 1 say hack?

[VelvetSpruce]

Is there a chance you can lose reception having a protection case on it?

[Sonic343]

Fix for this:

Don't choke your damn phone.

[emnaq3]

lol he called one of his tens of cellphones

[l5ge]

you need to check your mail you have 140

[atyl1972]

jon you say you were holding this phone tight ok but in reality would you really hold the phone this tight, i guess no you wouldn't, also finally...have they actually fixed this as i may be looking to get the iphone 4??

[PutSevenfold7]

Don't squeeze the motherfucker so tight!

[LittleTank1]

@PutSevenfold7 thats what she said lol

[PisiiTk]

win an iphone on iphoneshare,org #OMG Happy Holidays !!!

[bojna1]

i have the iphone 4. i have no reception problems. i make phone calls from my building garage and elevator just like i did with my Blackberry bold 9700. maybe there was a problem with the first iphone 4 batch. Again no problems with reception it's just an amazing phone.

[Myobokuuzan]

maybe you shouldn't hold the phone so tight? Just holding it normally not so tough, and you wont have any dropped calls...

[EMCHost]

Maybe if you don't squeeze the phone like a mother fucker, maybe you won't have any drop calls :]

[TheTornado4000]

Hey i can't get the signal remove feature.

is their something Wrong with my i Phone .

[master101710]

where did u get your wallpaper from

[TheTornado4000]

@master101710

There is an App named HD wallpapers it is free. 

[Serpent6009]

Just EAT SHIT AND DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Serpent6009]

All you motherfuckers are idiot cocksuckers. Fuckin morons. Tired of hearing about this stupid shit you white trash motherfuckers in your fuckin trailer parks. I've had my iPhone 4 for 3 months, and nothing. Absolutely nothing. It's fuckin great. But you fuckin losers with no fuckin lives got nothing else to do after your done sucking disease dick, so why not talk about this. You hick, white trash faggot cocksucking motherfuckers. Get a fuckin life you fuckin dickheads. Actually don't. Just EA

[aminuk23]

iphone sucks, expired apples

[ryan4ks]

Is this for real?? Like its giving big problems that would suck I just want one man!

[ludig7]

Apple fixed this problem already.

All the smack talk about who has the

best phone is hilarious. Don't u people

have anything else to do with ur lives?

There are a lot of great phones on the

market right now. That EVO 4g is pretty

impressive. I love my iPhone 4 thou!

[PutSevenfold7]

Ya i agree with Ipod102692. No one would hold it like that. And besides, you're trying to make it loose reception. People who hold it normally don't have this problem.

[ipod102692]

you have to hold it like a retard for it to drop calls

[jonnahsoStressful]

i have a question. What kind of reatard would intentionally squeeze their iphone in their left hand while talking on the phone. i mean you're TRYING to make it lose signal. but on a normal situation the person would grip it softly, not to crush it -_-

[CartersBeats]

apple is a piece of SHIT, go sick steve jobs dick apple fanboys

[xJG91x]

@CartersBeats Haha wtf? How idiotic do you have to be to hate material and inanimate objects so much...

[staticjordan42374]

lol this still happends

[dudeandthem]

@staticjordan42374  lol

[oribali1]

THIS IS A BIG FAKE!!

[1superalex]

@oribali1 It WAS true, but version 4.0.1 fixed it, I tried the older version (4.0) & signal dropped but its ok now with 4.0.1 or later :-)

[oribali1]

No problem at Hungary! :)

[jl12zng]

Didnt apple fix this problem already ??

[hurbie1000]

No problems in canada with the iPhone 4 :)

[crazysillystupid]

i definitely dont hold my phone that way but just to make sure, if you get a case for it does that solve the reception issue? i heard that it might but he didn't mention it

[XSlemaniiiX]

i have absoultly no service in the house, and after seeing this i took the cover off and now i have no problems with reception.. :S

[Jessica62997]

go to w w w (dot) likemagic (dot) tk .. this site has a tutorial that worked perfectly for me and my dads phone, no more signal problem yayy!

[shenalreid]

But No one gonna hold like u!!!!!

[babiigurl2098]

@shenalreid Lol Rite..

[DevilsPicturebook]

Apple supports right handed folk, because we use the left side of our brain.

[TheWholeMatt]

yeah, it's a major MAJOR problem....IF YOU HOLD YOUR PHONE LIKE A DOUCHE BAG, i mean really, who the shit grips their phone so hard and for so long that they lose a call? If you hold your phone like that, then please punch yourself in the dick, or vag, whichever you have. I NEVER have a problem dropping calls because i hold my phone normally and don't squeeze it like a fat kid squeezes his precious candy. Problem solved, morons. Quit making out to be more than it is.

[billyanhiers]

@TheWholeMatt yea im with this guy....first of all who the fuck squeezes the shit out of ur phone like that cuz if u do ur better of buying a cell phone from like walmart that only costs 20$ cuz ur gonna break ur 600$ iphone and u certianly dont deserve one if u hold it like that. so if i have to hold ur phone like that u can give me ur iphone and all u can snort my ass and hoarse up some pig shit cookies

[vancitypuff]

@TheWholeMatt so I guess what your saying is... your holding it wrong. nice rant tho

[TheWholeMatt]

@vancitypuff basically, yeah, lawl.

[dudeandthem]

@TheWholeMatt um wat if ur running and u dont want to drop ur expensive phone.So wat u do is hold it tight so it wont fall duh.Im not being mean im just saying the truth.

[TheWholeMatt]

@dudeandthem that might be the most idiotic rebuttal i've ever read in my entire life. No one runs and talks on the phone at the same time because you'd sound like a retard huffing and puffing. Squeeze it all you want while running, but when you stop to make or accept a call, let it go and hold it like you're not a complete retard.

[dudeandthem]

@TheWholeMatt its a possibility,sort of.

[illestdrawings]

@TheWholeMatt : haha greatest commentary ever. Tip of the hat to you sir. Well played.

[paulalger11]

@TheWholeMatt perfectly said man

[bhrzali]

@TheWholeMatt

Mr. imoron

the point is the phone must not lose reception even if you squeeze it. That's the test.

Even if you shove my nokia and samsung phones up an elephant's ass it will never loser reception.

[TheWholeMatt]

@bhrzali lololol nokia, samsung. Poor guy. No wonder you're bashing the iphone, you're suffering from ridiculous jealousyitis. I can't say that i blame you. When i had the tilt, i used to bash the iphone, until of course i realized what a giant piece of crap it was. Then i got the iphone, best phone ever, period. You may as well shove those crap phones up an elephants ass, because that's exactly where they belong. Have fun with your poor man's iphone knockoffs.

[Scr1b3n3r12]

@TheWholeMatt Dude... Seriously? look who is talking, i have an iPhone 4 to, and it never gives me this problem. Everybody does not have to like the same phone as you do asswipe. Your just a pathetic nerd who has nothing better to do but cry about a phone on the internet. Go get a life stupid fucker. Get a girlfriend while your at it. Piece of lard shit.

[RZAODBGZA]

@TheWholeMatt

maybe u can stop bein a dick...not everyone can afford a iphone mr moneybags...i got a android for free w/ a contract n i couldtn be happier so shut the fuck up...

[divingrocks212]

@RZAODBGZA android suck mr. poorbag

[TOMTEC123]

@TheWholeMatt hahah i like you,

[utuberlol]

@TheWholeMatt I gave you a standing ovasion! You ledgend. People need a reality check since when do people give their phones hand jobs?

[Technodude66]

...it that way. :)

[Technodude66]

Hey, if you're watching this on your iPod/iPhone then just try holding it up to your ear with your left hand and see how easy it is not to put your hand in the left corner. I know it might feel more comfortable, but you can simply rest the bottom left corner on the palm of your hand without trying to make an iPhone-shaped dent in your hand from squeezing it so hard. I'm left handed, and I really want the iPhone 4, and I know the reception issues won't be a problem for me because I'll never hold

[razorloudnoise]

do the update the one where u get game center it fixed

[Hendricus1978]

tried it also…. but after dropping one bar it added 2 bars.

[yahooshavel2]

my reseption went up when i tried this

[71to96]

@yahooshavel2 LOL

[wowee1458]

if you hold your phone that hard you are probaly trying to get rid of your bars.
