what's up everyone John Breton German TechnoBuffalo here yesterday I made a video detailing the reception issues on the iPhone 4 and have you called it supposedly you're going to get a signal degradation well I didn't was able to replicate that I didn't have some of the problems but it's brought to my attention that perhaps I was holding the phone wrong in a way that wouldn't replicate the issue so I'm going to go ahead and try this one more time and hold it the way you're supposed to do to try and get these problems right now you can see that I have about four bars of 3G tends to go in and out of four or five bars with pretty good service I'm going to go ahead and pick the phone up put it in my left hand I'm going to hold it in the way that you're supposed to to see to get this segregation you can see I'm making contact on either side and I'm pushing in relatively hard so there goes one bar there goes two bars got two bars remaining see if anything happens to those now generally when I try to replicate this after it was brought to my attention I was doing it wrong I get it down to one bar and that's where it stays I haven't had the no service yet although maybe we'll get that for a first time here on camera then I'm gonna try and see what happens when I make a phone call and see if it loses the phone call over there I hold it like this or if I try and address the problem with the bottom left hand corner and see if we can replicate that so that's how things sort of dropped quickly when I take my hands off put it back on the table let's see how fast or how slow the signal comes back you can already see that it's starting to sort of come back I got three bars back four bars back and now we actually have full five bars of reception so I'm gonna go ahead and make a phone call here I'm gonna go ahead and call the I've got HTC EVO next to me I'm going to go and give that a call as soon as that rings I will answer there we go okay so now I'm on a call let's see if that reception she was going to result in a dropped call so you're walking you're talking you're holding your phone very tight with your left hand let's see what happens call failure let's see if we can do that one more time let's see if maybe that was just a one time thing it's not gonna happen again so I'm going to call the Evo again all right enter the phone call all right so now I am connected to the other phone and if I leave it right here it's fine no drop calls but if I pick it up and right now it's got about three bars at service let's see what happens dude it holds on to the call or if it drops it again maybe that first time is just an anomaly you can definitely see the signal going down still going down down to one bar and it looks like we're still okay but we have degraded down to 1 bar and no lost calls there's another problem some people are having with the bottom left-hand choir and I'll keep holding this one on talking to see what happens but if you hit it sort of right down there have your home your a hand rested right down there you're gonna lose a call let me try that go ahead and put that sort of right in the middle of my hand and hold the phone nice and tight like I was before I'll see what happens to the phone call it looks to be okay I mean you definitely have a huge signal loss right there I went from four to five bars now down to one a little call is still going on so I don't know if getting a bumper is gonna fix this whether a software update is going to address this up and there we go we lost the calls looks like we are two for two confirmed that this is indeed a problem and if you hold your phone tight in that manner you are going to drop your phone call hopefully this will be fixed in a software problem I haven't had a problem using this in real life holding it like that I generally hold the phone with my right hands but is indeed an issue you can see the signal went all the way back so share this video guide of people considering getting an iPhone 4 it's worthwhile that they see it because there may be a really legitimate problem going on anyway I'm John Rhett enger' from TechnoBuffalo I'll see you the next video buh-bye
