antenna fix

[iphone 4_IM]

so i just ordered one of the silicon cases from youriaccessories.com is this going to fix the loss of bars and dropping of calls?

 

[jables]

yes it should. my case does, and its a silicone case i think. it seems to only be pure skin contact that effects the bars. cause even a invisisheild is said to fix the antenna issue.

so it doesnt specifically have to be the bumper it can be any case as long as ur avoiding skin contact?

 

[Alli]

Correct. Any case will do.

Wow, those cases look like crap!

 

[Alli]

What cases?

Guys heres an idea. Ok so 1) Don't get a case, they all look like S**t on the iPhone, ALL cases look bad. Hiding the iPhone's beauty is a crim. 2) DONT DEATH GRIP THE DAMN THING! The only time people experience an issue is when intentionally trying to replicate the issue.

You don't need to "death grip" it to experience the issue. Hold it in your left hand and you can EASILY and ACCIDENTALLY replicate the issue. I had noticed it even before it was brought to the "public eye" or even these forums. I wasn't sure what was causing it until I realized that holding it in my left hand my palm touched the black line. You don't need to do some kind of death squeeze on the device to cause the problem.

I'd say hopefully you won't have the problem in Canada b/c of a different network, but people in other countries have experienced the problem, so it's not just an AT&T issue.

just buy an invisible shield and all will be good to go.

A small piece of scotch tape makes a big difference and is almost invisible. alternatively search on etsy.com for decals. There is an edge decal that only covers the stainless steel edge. 2 for $9-. I'll report further when mine arrives later this week.
