Apple finds iPhone 4 signal bars misleading, hiding poor signal

02 July, 2010
Apple just issued their official statement on the non-existent iPhone 4 reception issues. What iPhone 4 users are experiencing when they grip the lower left corner is just their real signal, poor as it seems...

      Apple just doesn't want to recall 1.7+ million iphones, so they'll fool their software into showing a
      higher signal. Shame on you Apple, don't take us for fools. We know you have a great product, but don't try to patronize us.

                hewie, 03 Jul 2010Why do people always go out of there way to discredit the I... moreThat was kinda lame, what do you mean by make your own phone? I hope you mean that if you don't like iPhone go and buy something else.

                The bottom line is not to make a perfect phone yourself, the bottom line is that if you pay for something you should be getting what you pay for.

                Do you want me to go build my own car if the new car i brought stops working every time i touch the gearbox? Either i buy something else or i file a complain that they are not doing there jobs right.

                Do you go and make your own pair of jeans because the zipper on your new expensive pants broke? Or do you go back to the shop and tell them your piece of mind?

                We have rules and standards in society to make go around, at least in EU. These standards are set to see that people do their jobs right and people get exactly what they pay for. Communication is very important and if you get the license to supply people with it you should be doing your job.

                Wouldn't be funny if Apple made cars or elevators? I sure as hell wouldn't ride in one, thank god there are people in society that do their jobs right.

                And for the Sony Ericsson phones. You are actually comparing a Apple 800 euro flagship 3G/4G device in 2010 with Sony Ericsson midrange devices from 5 years ago.

                Get a grip mate..

                  I'm not a big fan of apple Iphone either but it's not a reason for me to trash apple.

                  Like hewie said, if you don't like the phone, go create your own phone.

                  Regards,

                        Why do people always go out of there way to discredit the Iphones, whether 3G, 3Gs or Iphone 4? I have seen where persons will buy an apple product just to shoot it, what does that do to the manufacturers? Absolutely nothing, you already paid for the product.. I have never used an Apple product... but I see where I will buy the Iphone 4. I 've had problems with Sony Ericsson.. I've had the Sony Ericsson T100, P910i and the P990i all of which had several issues and I have never bash the products... If you want the perfect product go and make it yourself.... Its like going to a restaurant, ordering the food, you eat and then say that the food does not taste good, WHEN YOU CAN"t EVEN SCRAMBLE EGGS TO SAVE YOUR OWN LIFE... GET A LIFE FOLKS....

                          now everyone know that all of the iphone models with this problem had nothing to with network issue, apple had been tricking everyone with their lieing all this time.

                          in the us they put the blame on at&t which had nothing to do with this problem.

                          now apple had been stricken out game over, game over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                            i bought an iphone 3gs 16gb. slipped out of my hands n fell down. the drop was from a height of 2.5 feet. the screen cracked. now m too broke to fix the screen. plus i was annoyed with the weak gps n bluetooth functionality of the phone. not to mention the super bad battery life. overheating when talking n u need to go all the way into the menu to switch on/off wifi(yes it is a big deal for sumone who uses wifi. nyways i saw a few videos on youtube whr the apple fanboys drop the phone n it doesnt crack so i realised the iphone is like a superphone whr all features work but only if it is in the hands of an apple fanboy. so to all apple fanboys out thr. 16gb 3gs for sale(unlocked) black colour. i paid 382$. selling it with all accessories for 320$ used for only 4 months. no scratches. just one big crack on screen. i am still an apple fanboy cuz i have a mac. but if one of u does not buy my phone i will stop being an apple fanboy. plz email mikey69@gmail dot com n will send u the ebay link. please buy. now since iphone 4 is released it has become a collectors item. very rare. please buy. it has 16gb wit camera n safari browser. n once u update it will have all features of iphone 4

                              Apple I've been a fan and owned all the apple iphones since the first model. This new model is a joke. I'm returning it to get a decent phone the Samsung Epic 4G or Galaxy S. At least Android doesn't tell me what I can and can't do on my phone. I can transmit files via bluetooth and use my 32gb micro SD.

                              Apple FAILED on this phone. I quit apple, im not longer a fanboy ( I admit I was a fanboy) but an EX fanboy of apple iphones now. I was tricked into thinking they are the best. What a fool i was.

                              The new iphone IPS display is not the best in the world, The super AMOLED is i saw it in person...

                              EX iphone fanboy

                                  If its just a matter of display, why do the calls drop then? From having a full bars to no bars in a matter of seconds?

                                    Obviously Apple trying to use clever mktg / creative use of rights to disguise an obvious pdt flaw n to placate apple fanboys. They dun haf to, coz watever Steve Jobs say, they juz say ok. Iphones will still sell like hot cakes.

                                      i have look at th meego for handheld ui in a very detailed way


                                      the demo video doesnt show the widget pages like the one in n900, but the guide line says it does have the widgets pages

                                      the ui is made very simple and neat for the nsereis mass market

                                      what n900 has offered will be offred in meeg phone,

                                      there are some great and interesting that catches my eye are

                                      multitpouch gestures in open applicaions view
                                      You can, pinch to zoom in open app view to chnage it to grid view to card view
                                      you can flick vertically to go to widgets pages, very coollllll

                                        I have experienced several drop calls using my iphone 3g before and they also have problems calling/smsing me because of poor signal on my phone. Actually it is a big disappointment on my side as a consumer because i bought a phone and it must function like a phone. I can bear the problem w/ blutetooth, flash issues, and divx issues but w/ POOR SIGNAL and DROP CALLS its unbearable. BTW I'm from the Philippines and i have never experienced any single drop call using other mobiles in my life except for the Iphone. I hope they can find a quick solution/fix on this matter with their latest handset the IPHONE 4.
