MacRumors Poll: iPhone 4 Signal Loss by Region

Its clearly not regional. This is not a useful poll.

It would be useful to poll if people have experienced the problem or not.
Or some other aspect that might be a clue to its cause. More specifically, it would be interesting to poll those who have NOT run into the problem.
Are they always in a strong 3G area?
How cool or dry is the climate? Sweat may make it worse.
Would be nice if we could determine what frequency their carrier is using to see if it affects certain frequencies more than others.

Too soon to tell, but so far, problems seem legit in US.

I can get the same signal loss when holding my 3GS at the bottom, then it returns when I change my hand position. Where's that poll? Non issue.

I feel sorry for you AT&T users. Never seen connection problems with iPhone here in Belgium. But I'd love to see if this is also true with the new iPhone 4.

*waiting for release*

Why even put a poll check box for non iPhone 4 owners?

I'm wondering how widespread an issue this actually is. The truth will out I suppose. I don't have a problem myself but I did have a small yellow spot on the screen that went away later in the day after using it a while.

Geez, stop trying to find excuses and accept it already lol

I live in Rhode Island and both iPhone 4s I have seen haven't seen any reception loss no matter how you hold it.

im sorry to burst the bubble but it does depend on where u live. The signal is only affected when the left antenna and the bottom one touch, this happens when there is something that acts as a bridge like your hand. this is like the static electricity generator when u have a chain of people the charge goes all the way through (unless its too long). when the bottom of your hand is touching both antennas the bridge is short, but if u even try 2 separate fingers even on the same hand the signal wont go down. Now that that is out of the way. if u live in an area where the signal is generally very strong then if u do screw with the antenna the signal will go down little or not at all. this is why some are affected and some or not, so get a piece of scotch tape or a case to fix the problem lol:D

I've tried to make the signal go down by holding the iPhone 4 in low signal areas. I've had the signal go down, up, and stay the same.

I think the reason this is affecting some people and not others is not a case of location, but a case of the person using it. I get signal loss on my UK iPhone 4 so I went back to the store and they had no idea what I was on about, they said their demo phone was fine. I try their demo phone, signal gone within 30 seconds. The store manager then went on to try my one I'd been experiencing the issue with, nothing happened.

I think this is caused dependant on how conductive you happen to be, does anyone scientific have any idea if humans can be more or less conductive than one another?
