I've noticed and repeatedly confirmed, that if you hold your phone by the edges with your fingertips (rather than cupping the phone with the back of your hand, you get much better 3G access. Basically if you avoid blocking the antenna area while actually downloading pages, it's much faster. You can actually see the bars go from 1 to 3-5, in a matter of seconds when changing holding methods.
Also if you do it standing up vs. laying down, the iPhone doesn't get pregnant.
This is absolutely hysterical. You made my whole Monday with this one comment. I will be using this line and telling this thread to a lot of people today and what you just said.Originally Posted by Romanesq
I thought the iPhone 3Gs came pregnant. Are you saying they're just fat?
Who are you kidding. Name one of us that doesn't want our iphone to start popping out kids. Mine damn well better reproduce for 100$ a month!
All joking aside, do other people see the same behavior? Or is it only my hands that inhibit the 3G signal? Could that be considered a super hero power?
Happy to make Monday a little more jolly. Appreciated.
mine does it to. I notice the antenna is much more sensitive on this model
Do plastic/silicone/leather cases also block reception? If they do then I probably won't use one and just go with a full body invisible shield.
Still waiting for my 3G..
I'm not even getting a 'case'. I ordered a sleeve for when it's sitting in my pocket.
