Everybody with this problem and a jailbroken iphone, you have to downgrade

ROB MY VIDEO WHY DONT YOU!!!!!

[jbfatcats]

I don't have the issue on my iP4 EXCEPT in one location in my house. I've tested calls from that same spot and I still have reception and NO dropped calls. I ALSO already knew that the 3G had issues with reception and how I held it. Right it's not JUST the new one. Good video!

[iHondaMan]

I just tested this with my 3g (not 3gs) its on 3.1.2 and does the same thing lol... this was a problem all along that we didnt notice :D

[StRoRo]

My dad just tested this on his 3GS without the update and the signal goes completely change hands, it will drop 1 maybe 2 bars.

This is probably why when he calls me the sound is choppy.

[MARTIIINN]

Weird, it does the same thing on my 3GS drops from full strength to zero! But it hasnt been a problem for a year so it probably wont be either

[johnybh]

still, in the netherlands signal is quite good. Some areas are bad, but t-mobile really cranked up the network now..

[beatlesguy76]

Well,I have the 3GS,and I can hold my phone the usual way and it still gets full bars.

[AC130ist]

no way i just tried it with my 3gs and it DOES do the same thing, except these past 2 weeks my reception has just TANKED like noother it comes and goes as it pleases but yea if u grip it like so, it does loes signal all the way to searching, i cant believe they didnt realize this before they sold them how dumb of them

Yea, Apple is possibly claiming firmware, but I am not buying it. I don't see how this issue didn't exist prior to iOS4. In fact I am typing this on my new iPhone 4. I am going to downgrade that thing and see what happens I'm the same scenario.

[deathjr277]

And I havnt upgraded, so when I do this I lose a maximum of one bar, no more

[deathjr277]

It has to be an ios4 issue but what I don't get is how does a software get effected by physical action?

[ryanhenderson81]

no problem with my 3gs with ios 4 doesnt do this in Fl USA

[gtgidemgreen]

its an ios 4 issue. A simple software update should fix it.

[xQuale]

I don't have this problem at all.

T-Mobile in The Netherlands

..Also iPhone 3Gs iOS4

[oojacoboo]

@xQuale I don't see how that is possible. Are you sure you are gripping it around the metal frame??

[xQuale]

@oojacoboo Yes, did exactly as you explained & showed, but no problems occurred.

[oojacoboo]

Yea, like I said... Unsure. Anyone who hasn't upgraded??

[tru4t]

yeah, but before iOS 4?
