i just tested your teory right now with my samsung s and basicaly it drops only 1 bar if i hold it with both hands all the botom inside my belly or something like that.Not even comparable to the iphone issue and still is just a normal thing,hold it regularly with any hand or dual wield and has 5/5 bars.
How about you don't hold your phones that way? (not aiming at you video uploader) if you hold a phone like that when you talk on the phone, then you're not normal. Normal grips don't do that so these death grips don't make a whole lot of sense. Yes the iPhone 4 does it barely holding it but thats a different story. If you decide a phones no good because it loses signal when you "death grip" it, then you might as well not get a phone because you'd crush that thing.
I tried every possible grip with my galaxy s and on two friends phones, even with my both hands and nothing happens it didn't drop even for one bar! So I don't know what version of galaxy S is tested on this video, because mine and my friends doest' have death grip. Actually I think this video is anti galaxy s prophanganda,

This clearly isn't the same situation as antenna gate where instead of squeezing the phone like a retard (no-one squeezes there phone like that) you can cause the signal problem using a single finger to touch the point in question. Any skin contact on the bottom left slit/gap between the two antennas f%$ks the signal- that's the problem. Apple tried to take a disappointingly cheap way out by finger pointing even though their issue is a design flaw, not regular attenuation
I think you have a faulty phone there or i think it is specific to the "Vibrant Galaxy s". I've just done this "DEATH GRIP" on my 8gb Orange uk Galaxy s i9000 and my brothers Vodafone 16gb one and there was NO SIGNAL DROP (not even a bar).
The ONLY way I get signal the signal to drop is when I cover the whole bottom half of them with BOTH hands and apply pressure.
I hope you are not an imbecile and know that the main point is that its easy to kill a signal on iphone and hard on other phones. making other phones easier to use for phone calls and the iphone easier to kill phone calls.
Woa. I'm confused. Your video title said "samsung vibrant death grip." Not "Apple Fan boy choking a beautiful phone" Stop living in an apple store. Who the heck is gonna hold a phone that way? For the iPhone to drop a call you just lay a finger on it. You're a pathetic apple fanboy
i'm doing the so called Death Grip to my Samsung Galaxy S now and i certainly don't have that kinda signal drop.. and do people hold their phones in Death Grip manners when they talk?
anyway.. i was out here to look for Samsung Galaxy S secret or hidden stuffs but surprise to see this..
Problem 1: iPhone 4 has a antenna design flaw, which caused the phone to (reportedly through various internet sources) drop calls when covered with finger or some other part of the Hand...
Problem 2: All phones drop some bars when "death-gripped", but calls won't get dropped...bars drop too when you put the phone to your ear, but you never touch the antenna physically.
Apple pushed problem nr. 2 into the foreground, distracting from their own problem.
I hope you have figured out by now that its not a death grip but a contact point issue. Or as Apple said, a weak spot which every phone has. Its not hard to understand - If you hold the phone normally, you'll hit the weak spot on the i4 immediately. Its NOT ABOUT BLOCKING AND DEATH GRIPS. Its about bridging 2 contact points with your skin. GET IT ?
I wonder how many of those who claim the iPhone 4 drops at a touch of a finger actually own iPhone 4s. I'm sure there are some, but really, if you haven't used one for any period of time, stfu.
Videos and internet stories tell you nothing. Only real usage can tell you anything, and by real usage I don't mean intentionally replicating the issue either, but the number of actual dropped calls in normal use.
If there's anything more annoying than Apple fanboys, it's the insecure haters.
Yeah as everyone has mentioned here, samsumg's "DEATHGRIP" is WAY different than the iphone problem, just by holding your hand normally like everyone does when holding it in a vertical position makes it lose ALL connection, while you're now holding your phone in order to choke it.
The iPhone 4 doesn't need a "death grip" you let the phone just sit in your left hand normally and it loses bars...you look like you were squeezing it...TOTALLY different. lol
But I would also like to point out...with this phone even if it did have the same flaw its not as bad as it didn't lose signal it just dropped bars where as the iPhone 4 loses signal completely.
iPhone 4 is garbage and the iOS 4 is sad wannabe OS.
I've noticed this with my Galaxy S (Vibrant) as well. I can have no bars and still get over 3Mbps download speeds and no problem making calls. This DOES sound like a software issue. Sorry Apple, I imagine you wish you had this problem.
just be honest, many phone have this issue(not all), is not about holdin it tight!! is about holding those phones on the side of the antenna, the problem (same with iphone4) is that design factor and material choice screwed up the antenna, aniway if you use a plastic cover it will never happen, so buy a cover or old it in different way..or choose another phone
Lol look at all the fandroids trying to protect their product. Now you are feeling the same unfair pressure that apple fans did. Ima BB user so don't hate
Ok, this is actually bullshait, i have the Galaxy S, live in norway and been trying and trying to to screw up the signal with this deathgrip. I had a firend to hold it under and the upper side of the phone, while i took the sides, NOTHING HAPPEND! Didnt loose a bar, and we tried and tried but no use. This video is bullshait or AT&T is the worst telecom company with the worst signals to date.
@Popupkille BTW. The only way I could get the bars to drop was if I covered the phone completely with one hand in front, and back of the phone. But noone holds a phone that way. lol.
Ha ha ha "its's not just the iPhone 4..." eh funny part (and BIG difference) is that on the iPhone 4 the "deathgrip" is holding it normally like you would when using it... this was holding arround it in a very unnatural way... :-D
"Look other phones react JUST LIKE the iPhone 4... let me just cram this one up my armpit and you'll see the bars dropping XD
if you want to prove something, please at lease do it under the same conditions. same carrier(galaxy captivate), same place(show around), same grip(please don't cover the screen).
We've GOT to get the government environmentalists FAR AWAY from the alarmists at the FCC. If RF was dangerous to my health, having been in broadcasting, paging, ham radio, military electronics with huge radars most of my 64 years, I'd have been long dead. RF isn't dangerous. I'M VERY HEALTHY! I don't even see doctors! It's all NONSENSE ALARMISM to get you to accept a tiny transmitter with almost no range to maximize carrier profits....more calls per square mile!
So this is a challenge to the entire industry, not just the iPhone4. But the fact is, while other phones need a tight grip to attenuate the signal, the iPhone4 needs only on touch at the gap on the metal band.
So this is a challenge to the entire industry, not just the iPhone4. But the fact is, while other phones need a tight grip to attenuate the signal, the iPhone4 needs only on touch at the gap on the metal band.
My iPhone 4, which I returned to Orange UK, would LOSE calls buy just holding it NORMALLY in my left hand. I bought the Samsung Galaxy S and have never lost a call by holding it NORMALLY. If you wrap your hand right around the lower part of the Galaxy S you will lose some signal, but I have not lost a single call using it normally. I DID with the iPhone4 which is why I spent 4 weeks fighting with Orange to take it back.
Samsung knew about this way earlier than iphone issue and on their korean version of galaxy s manual, samsung clearly explained to users even with a beautiful picture which doesn't show up on US manual.
Admit this. this is just a common issue among entire smart phone industries and please stop being ignorant.
@torohaha exactly!!! That is why having the "unprotected" antennae arround the edge of the iPhone 4 is the DUMBEST thing Apple have EVER done and why people are complaining that it looses signal when you hold it normally :-D
No other phone does THAT... yes you can have them all drop bars when covering it up so the signal for the INTERNAL antennae gets weakened. Something that won't happen when you hold it normally!
I took a look at what Steve Jobs is bitching about vs what is really happening with the iphone. ANY phone will lose reception when you cover the antenna. That is an issue that won't be resolved. But the iphone's issue is bridging the gap and causing a short that drops reception. Clearly a design flaw. And it only took 22 days for them to make good on their customers.
There is a real problem with Galaxy S!!!!. Maybe not everywhere and some of you are happy users. But in my case falling range "lines" is not the major problem. Anyway, you can watch some of my movies with Galaxy S on my channel and there is alsow a description there.
who grabs a phone in that way and that tight when talking on it. All smartphone do the same thing. It is a problem when you are holding it in hand from behind, as in when talking on it and it looses reception that is a issue.
@Youpartyte I'll add that fact onto the next vid. These were on a whim, but after the amount of feedback, I will reshoot and hope to be more clear. I'm just a salesman, not anything special.
@smirre1993 I think you mean that the iPhone 4 started dropping bars when you were holding it in a natural way. You know: it doesn't. Else it just doesn't make sense because then everybody should have this problem but only 0,55% of the people who bought an iPhone called Apple about it and less iPhone 4's were brought back to the store after 3 weeks then with the iPhone 3Gs. So your comment doesn't make any sense ;)
@sixfatpeople It wouldn't be a smart move on Apple's part to fudge the numbers when dealing with an issue of this magnitude. Not to mention, they've never been a company to keep digging when they find themselves in a hole.
Don't believe everything you read on the internet doll.
Mmmm...fanboy not really. I used to loathe Apple. Then I bought an iPod...which led to buying an iPhone 3G....then Apple TV....now I have a Macbook Pro. I'm a graphic designer, so it's not for fashion or to look cool...(I have a big black case covering the logo and bottom).
How did the iPhone 4 perfect having less bar when held? Because it didn't. Ever since the Razr had a sticker saying, "Do not hold the bottom of the phone while in a call."
I have the Galaxy S, When I grip it, both WCDMA and GSM doesn't have this issue but wifi drops a bar. 3 down to 2

@sixfatpeople It wouldn't be a smart move on Apple's part to fudge the numbers when dealing with an issue of this magnitude. Not to mention, they've never been a company to keep digging when they find themselves in a hole.
Don't believe everything you read on the internet doll.

I'm going to post another video showing the iPhone in the same spot, same grip.

I smell fanboy...
The iPhone 4 perfected this bullshit, so I'll crucify the iPhone 4 all I want. Thumbs down.

Mmmm...fanboy not really. I used to loathe Apple. Then I bought an iPod...which led to buying an iPhone 3G....then Apple TV....now I have a Macbook Pro. I'm a graphic designer, so it's not for fashion or to look cool...(I have a big black case covering the logo and bottom).
How did the iPhone 4 perfect having less bar when held? Because it didn't. Ever since the Razr had a sticker saying, "Do not hold the bottom of the phone while in a call."
