HTC Desire Antenna "Problems"

Don't even have to touch it to affect reception.
note: this isn't really a problem. It happens in all cell phones, in more or less noticeable way :P

Fake! You must be in the desert to get this signal. Something is wrong with the phone, maybe.

@kimkom4 Nothing wrong with the phone - as I clearly said: this happens to *all* the phones in this particular spot (very bad reception area.)

fake, I have htc desire and when I try do same thing it's no effect, and some time after 30 seconds it's go to 3rd level of 4, but it's not immediate (and not all time) as you show in this clip.

@kalelesl It doesn't take a genius to understand this depends heavily on the signal strength of your location.

It was just to prove that, *depending* on where you are, all cell phones exhibit the same behavior.

I too can make it "not show", by moving into a differente place with more strength; but in there, the signal is just barely enough to make a phone call - and with very low quality...

In fact, the only phone that is actually usable in there, is the iPhone 4.

Well, seems like Apple had to resort to the same tactic, showing this effect on several other devices. on their Smartphone antenna performance page

Any idea where the Desire's antenna is located? Doesn't seem to say in the manual.

[carlosmmartins]

@Geshpenst If it follows the HTC Droid Eris location, it's on top.

i have the incredible and my phone never drops calls but i always loose signal and miss calls that dont come through

[mustangGTnismo]

It really happens, I'm in a very bad area of signal, and to make a call I've to connect the blutooth headset. When I do it the signal is ok, when I touch it it goes very bad.

As redes em Portugal no interior são mesmo para esquecer...

I am having problems with my Desire S, sometimes, randomly in some calls I lose signal. The phone I had before (Nokia N73) never had this issues... For a >400 dollars phone the quality should be better!

Thats not fake i have the same problem with my desire i have one or no bars constantly it wont send txts alot and drops calls and the sound quality sucks and ive only had my desire for 2 in a half months and never had signal problems with any of my previous phones so i know its not the carry.
