The Death Grip Test on Antenna Signal

Excellent article. I certainly appreciate this website.
Keep it up!

as if you’ll hold your cellphone using a tight or closed grip. . .the death grip may loose some signal strength on other cellphones, but it will not lead to dropped calls like the iphone4. Apple’s reasoning behind the signal loss on their latest product is a joke. . .napaka-lame at nakakaasar na. . .better stick to laptop and desktop production steve. . .

I think more than the drop in signal strength; the issue really is the number of drop call(s) experienced with the phone.

In the US, AT&T has been largely blamed for the frequent signal loss and drop calls experience with the iPhone but with the recent developments, it seems the phone itself is also partially to blame.

^Grabe ka naman para ipagdasal na mamatay si Steve Jobs!

Pero kung bumili din siguro ako ng iPhone 4, baka ako pa pumatay sakanya hahahaha just kidding! Baka mamaya may cyberpolice dito. Iba ang powers ni Jobs!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA can’t help but LOL

recent post from Engadget has a press release from Samsung:

“The antenna is located at the bottom of the Omnia 2 phone, while iPhone’s antenna is on the lower left side of the device. Our design keeps the distance between a hand and an antenna. We have fully conducted field tests before the rollout of smartphones. Reception problems have not happened so far, and there is no room for such problems to happen in the future.”

Opinyon ko lang to.
Madami nagsasabi bakit daw puro reklamo ang mga tao na bumili ng iphone 4 e pwede naman daw ibalik.
Ang sagot ko dyan. Kung magbigay sya ng Bumper, ayusin man nya, refund o recall nya ang iphone 4 d na magbabago ang kasiraan nya.
bakit nya binenta ang isang phone na alam nya na may problema na to. bakit ko nasabi na alam nya?
1. dahil ngayon lang gumawa ng case si steve jobs para sa iphone.
2. bakit nung may nag email sa kanya ng tungkol sa problema ay kaagad nya sinagot na “Avoid holding it that way.” ng hindi niya kinunsulta sa kanya mga alipores. mukhang alam nya ang solution sa pagkawala ng signal.
3. bakit nya tinangal ang isang application na nagchecheck ng signal in db.

Yan ay nagpapatunay ng panloloko.

nung press con sinabi nya na tao lang sya at d sya perfect. bakit? kailangan mo ba maging perfect para nde mo malaman na ang antenna pag nahahawakan e nde nagbibigay ng tamang signal.
kesyo iphone 4 changes everything kuno. e bakit nung may problema na ang iphone 4 nya e hinambing na nya sa ibang phone? so walang changes.

isa pang paninira ni Steve na magpasalamat daw ang mga kano dahil kano daw ang naghahari ng cellphone sa bansa nila at nde korean (Samsung).
bakit? ang A4 na cpu ng iphone 4 nde ba gawa ng korean? hahahhaha.
nde ko alam kung gaano sinakal ni steve jobs ang nokia phone para mapabagsak ang signal na nde ko magawa sa phone ko. e sa iphone 4 kiliti lang sa tagiliran e wala ng signal.

napatunayan ko na na maraming tao na sa itsura lang ng bagay tinitignan ang ganda. kahit na wala na ang basic phone na phone call palang d na pwede e binibili pa. tingin ni steve jobs ang napakaganda ng mga gadget nya. kahit anong ganda ng gadget mo kung pangit ang pr at customer support ng kumpanya pangit pa rin ang produkto mo.
pero para sa akin pangit pa rin ang produkto ng apple. ipod palang nga nya may mga dead pixel na.
panong d papangit ang produkto nya e mga workers nya sa china may mga minor at pinapatrabaho ng 30 oras at walang overtime pay.

Kuha popcorn… Nood mode..

@efren: this is my last… (hmmm kaw ba yan?? wala link sa nick mo ata…???) anyway this is my stand i repeat may cloner ako so hindi ako yung may link ang nick… the argument is between 2 of us only!!!

@ ed: cguro yan din reason kaya napahiya si steve jobs sa wwdc 2010 nang i launch ang iphone nang pumalya ang internet!!!! dahil din sa death grip.. sure ako antenna problem yun at hindi over load ng wifi o sa at&t

@android: ehh kung hindi ba naman utox2 si efren pumatol sa cloner LMAO

eto my last say sa lahat ng blog ko sa yuga tech: kahit may puna ako sa iphone4 dahil sa antenna at no flash

iphone still the best smartphone in the market 2nd is the android, 3rd nokia cellphone, maemo man o symbian

@efren: alam na nga cloner nagpa uto pa… tama yan kung non sense sasabihin mo just shut your mouth… marami ka satsat sa ginawa mo sino squatter at nasa internet shop???? respect mr. olandres blog..

@mr. bogus – fitting is ur preferred nickname

perfect for you

@mr. bogus

LOL! hahaha

@iHateStupid

yuga clasped the phone “with both hands tightly”.

So with other phones you have to hold the phone in a very awkward way to justify Steve Jobs’ $tupid antennagate argument.

@mr. bogus – kung away ang hanap mo click mo yung avatar ko nandun ung contact number ko

ANG TAPANG MO NAMAN NA TAWAGIN AKONG S.O.B.

TARANTADO KA MOKONG KA.

KUNG MATAPANG KA KAUSAPIN MO KO NG DIRETSAHAN SA NUMBER KO

PARA MALAMAN MO SINO MINUMURA MO.

Yuga pwede bang ipakita mo kung pano mo ginawa yung test? Mejo misleading tong article mo e. Baka kasi yung grip na ginawa mo hindi naman normally ginagawa ng tao.

The point is the iPhone 4’s death grip is how you normally hold your phone. Which is just stupid really like the ones defending apple’s stupidity.

@efren: teka teka!!! di ka naman pala iphone user pero nagcocoment ka dito… your S.O.B!!!!

respect others opinion… whether its positive or negative or alimangong mentalidad pa yan.. hindi mo mapleplease ang lhat ng tao na mag agree sayo… its your opinion… respetuhan lang tayo… we get your point!!! so stop talking na parang paslit na inagawan ng lolipop sa kalye!! kung may bitterness ka sa buhay wag mo isasama dito sa blog

remember this phrase: “respect others opinion”

I thought this topic was about the review that other smart phones from other brands also have the deathgrip signal going down issue.

is this the Steve Jobs please admit you are a loser section.

wow 3M iPhone 4 units

how many millions of units could the filipino people have?

I for sure don’ t have one.

hmmm. maybe our fellow netizens here that are having problems with the signal of iPhone 4 really do have the iPhone 4.

Please post your personal encounters with the said product.

also there is an iPhone 4 first impression topic here at YUGATECH

Again as I’ve said in my comment read all of the previous comment before you start attacking for this matter now ME.

is the topic you are viewing now ” HEY LET’S START POSTING NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT THE APPLE IPHONE4 BECAUSE WELL IT’S POPULAR AND OH IF YOU DON’T OWN ONE AND JUST WANT TO JOIN THE BANDWAGON OF NEGATIVE POLLUTING NETIZENS IN THE PHILIPPINES OH WHAT THE HELL.”

All I am saying is Yugatech posted 3 test subjects, No iPhone 4 involve. Now if anyone of those people that posted about the DeathGrip pertaining to Apple’s New Phone has indeed purchase and currently owns an iPhone 4 now, please do make the same video review of the Apple Product then post your youtube video link here so that our fellow Yugatech Readers can in turn start posting NEGATIVE stuff about it.

IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME DEATHGRIP ISSUE WITH THE SAID 3 MODELS POSTED HERE OR OTHER SMARTPHONES THEN COMMENT.

Until Globe Telecom hasn’t release the official Locked iPhone 4 here, and I kmow many Globe subscribers will avail even if it will cost so much, because I know people with deep pockets will afford, POSTPAID. Then hold your bad comments for now. But as I’ve said, if you are one of those fortunate people with lots of money that came from your hard work, or from anywhere and so happen to purchase it from UK or Canada where its openline, and had it shipped here in the Philippines. Then is experiencing Signal Problems due to deathgrip syndrome. Feel free to start or continue. The Force is strong with you!

@Efren Sy – No, it has nothing to do with crab mentality. You just don’t understand.

It has become a hot topic because:

1) The problem happens on the Iphone 4, when you hold it the natural way on your left hand. Which is holding a phone on it sides. And this is a almost $1000 phone (unsubsidized). It could be forgiven if it’s only around $100 but it’s not.

2) Apple and Jobs are lied that there is a problem. First they said there is no problem, then they said that it is a software problem.

3) Jobs involved other manufacturers in the issue even if the other phones DO NOT have the exact same problem. Sure, when you cover the antenna of other phones, it would lose some signal, but it will not lose ALL of it. And the most important, it is not located in a place where you would naturally cover it with your hand

4) It’s Apple. It’s a company that loves publicity. It’s just crying foul now because it’s negative. How ironic since they keep bashing other companies in their ads and conferences.

So, you see. It’s not crab mentality. It’s Apple’s fault why it blew out of hand.

iPhone haters = Losers

Personally I am not an iPhone User, but I think the topic is getting out of hand.

The topic is about other phones tested here to have the same problem thats occuring to the iPhone4

I hope all people who comments positive or negative things here about Apple are iPhone4 users and owners

you still can’t judge a product by heresay alone

lumalabas na naman ang crabmentality ng Pinoy

Hot topic yung deathgrip sa iPhone 4 because this was publicly reviewed and talked about sa internet

Parang showbiz pag may sikat na artista na mas scandal talagang pag uusapan lalo na sa Philippines

How many of the supposed 3M iPhone4s are here in the Philippines ba?

Marami kasing Deathgrip afficianados dito.

Puro violent reactions

di pa ata nakakarecover sa 9 years ni GMA

Topic: Deathgrip on other Phones tested positive, also on other brands of smartphone

comment on the 3 other brands and models tested here if you are users of it or if you have tested them also with your phones.

galaxy s user here (intro)

i think apple’s engineering team are currently tirelessly working their a_s off to find a solution for the next production run of iphone4s. tho apple already sold those 3 million of these, they’ve just delivered 600,000 units in the US so far, and some hundreds Ks more on other countries. maybe the last 600k of that 3M will get away with that issue IF the engineering team is working it

In a way, either intentional or not, I can consider this as a marketing strategy.. apple already has a solid fan base.. they sure will still buy if apple releases iphone 5 with better specs and without this stupid defect.. napansin ko kasi installment ang pag add nila ng features, kya ang haba ng staying power nila sa market.. unlike other company na nageexplore ng specs mixes with levels like entry, midrange, etc..

hays.. poor ifans.. proprietiness plang ng unang iphone na turn-off na ko e.. hehe

A case is not even a solution, it’s a workaround. A solution is a hardware redesign.

@snpklsdmbldr
they have reached levels far worse than kool-aid drinking i fear.

pathetic and distasteful escape for steve jobs.

next gen iphone: Iphone 4[S]

in 3gS it stood for speed, in iphone 4S it will stand for signal rofl

at least my phone can make phone calls!

Sabi ko na nga ba tumpak yung sinasabi ni Lord Vader ” Steve Jobs “!

The Death Grip is real

The Dark Force is strong in this one!

Tama nga si SJ, but it doesn’t give him the excuse to point fingers to nokia, samsung, motorola, and htc with regard to apple’s iphone4 problems. And SJ should be mindful on the competence of his consumers and not fooling them that a problem is a normal thing and there’s nothing we should do about it. The fact that it is a problem, it needs a concrete solution not a diversion. Hence, the elaborate comparison does not convince me that SJ is on the right.

@jiro yan
Pinapahiya mo lang brad mga kapwa mo iLemmings sa hirit mo.

@Jiro

Shut up. Your rip-off site proves that you are indeed just a iFool.

No due credit to the author of your blog theme. Sus, ang kapal ng mukha mo.

Not all iPhone 4 para sa info ng lahat. Nilahat nyo kasi ang 3 million iPhone 4 na sold na.

at least non-apple phones don’t need an ugly BUMPER CASE! HA!

When doing the same with my Nokia E71 by holding the phone tightly at the bottom it has no effect what so ever and it is the same when holding it at the top. In order to have any effect it requires me to hold the phone tightly with one hand around the bottom and with the other hand around the top which is a quite unnatural way to hold the phone and would be unconformable to do while making a call.

It is simply Apple places a lower priority on call quality and more on aesthetics which is fine if that is a priority for you in a cellphone over its ability to make a call but as for myself I care more about how well it can make a call and not so much for how big of a fashion statement it is and am rather surprised that anyone other than 14 year old girls would be otherwise but it is each individuals money so buy what you like.

Making an antenna external is too risky. Ayan tuloy nangyari sa iphone 4 madaling mablock ang signal hindi tulad ng smartphone na using internal.

iPhone 5 sana ganito ng walang issues. lol

:D

sir abe sa iphone4 kaya mo pabagsakin signal isang daliri lang to the point na pwede ka ma dc.. kaya mo din ba jan sa mga phone na yan? :)

alam ko pinagkaiba ng iphone4 sa mga phone na yan ay ang iphone4 nasa labas antenna (di ako sure)… kaya ayun dali ma ground yung 2 antenna :)

^ ihater ^

…The Death Grip Test…THAT SOUNDS GOOD! :D
I don’t believe Steve Jobs’ statement to justify the iPhone’s weakness. What i believe is that all phone that uses an internal antenna loses its signal strength whenever it’s blocked.

Steve Jobs was right!!! I love my iPhone 3GS! :)
