AppleCare: The iPhone 4 Update Won't Solve the Antenna Problem
Well this is just a nice way to come back from a holiday. It seems someone at AppleCare has stated that the iOS 4 update won't solve the antenna issues so many users are complaining about on their new iPhone 4. Apparently it will change the way the antenna indicator calculates bars, but that won't solve what happens when you touch the left lower portion of the antenna.
We'll still call this post a rumor until we see the update to the OS actually working and confirming it as a fact, but according to Gizmodo, they gave AppleCare a call three times today and in these three times they got the same "pretty much read" responses:
• There is an antenna interference problem when you hold the iPhone 4 in a certain way
• One solution is to hold the phone differently, avoiding to touch the left bottom corner of the phone
• The other other solution is to buy a case or one of Apple's $30 bumpers
• The incoming software update will not fix this antenna problem, only change the way the phone displays the available signal, make it more accurate
So much for state of the art industrial design. Don't get me wrong, the concept is cool and I am a big fan of the phone. I just wouldn't call this a break through until Apple can prove it can work. Surely getting a free bumper is a great solution Apple should attend to by giving these away for free, but there are some of us here who simply don't like to carry their phones on cases..
ok what now??
The solution? ahaaaa right, I forget to write the solution
hmmmm

At least my HD2 works
Nice solutions anyway - not as stylish as i would prefer but i guess without any problems
a website posted a solution is to apply a tape on the bottom left corner of the phone covering the gap. anyway, nice photos. i will share them with my frens hehehe

but that looks ugly and cheap
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha....you get the point
recently i was talking w/ a frind of me about the hd2 (he really wants one and sorfs this forum very often) and we began to talk about the iphone.
[flame]
we began talking about the new "features" of the ios 4 (about 2/3 of those "features" are supported by wm/android for ages; the others are useless, like increase digital zoom for the camera). i then took a look on apple's ios4 web site.
for your sanity i advise NOT to take a look on that page, i don't know if i should laugh out loud about what is written on that page or rather bash my head against a wall.
beginning at that "facetime" stuffs (video telephy) that only works when connected to wifi, to the "security measures" and busibess functions, it's all either "wtf lol" or "wft lame" or even both for me.
and in the headline it states "With its easy-to-use interface, amazing features, and rock-solid stability, iOS — Apple’s mobile operating system — is the foundation of iPhone. And even as other phones try to catch up, the technologies and features built into iOS 4 keep it years ahead of the competition". come on.
[/flame]
We don't own iPhone 4's so why should we care one way or another?
This thread is more than a little pathetic.

What are your thoughts?
Has this remotely something to do with the WP7 core?
Can it be ported to other devices?
These phones are clearly intended for the "social generation"; success / fail?
well i actually like it. it just shows how awesome windows phone 7's full blown version will be. isnt it ironic that most of the KIN website is done is flash.... lol silverlight WHAT?!
also i like that we wont have to worry about LAG from now on lol...
Looks really good....nice as drinking a can of 7up !

Don´t like any of them
They should made something spectacular instead of this...
But MS will never loose....

lol, A wink to iPad/iPhone/iTouch maybe??
But yeah, strange indeed.
My impression regarding KIN
The buttons of the KIN2 could be somewhat bigger, maybe have some other look to it, They look like shiny, cheap plastic buttons out of toys..
But then again, these are mock ups, maybe they look and feel great IRL (doubtfull, but no way to tell at this moment).
The Kin1 looks like a girls-phone, there the design works, and the buttons actually look better.
The bottom piece is bigger than to top piece, I wonder how that will work out.
But the resolution of both screens are low:
KIN1 320x240 (QVGA!!)
KIN2 480x320 (HVGA)
And Kin2 is supposed to be for video watching?
Come on, please enter the year 2010, I am not asking 1080i on a mobile, but VGA/WVGA is totally feasable..
EqX
What the hell does kin mean? Why did my apartment cut off my cable? Why is my mom orderin cable from at&t? Why am i mad? Why am i writing in all caps? Why do i prefer kin 2!?
I think it's a good first attempt at cutting into the Android/Palm market. I know plenty of chicks that would be into this stuff.

I don't. 10+
So these are original, running wp7 core, purpose designed, well built, purpose packed, zune pass over the air, updates over the air... retailed with Verizon which the kids like...
I think MS got a winner, it will sell well, the UI is gorgeous.
If this gets the backing of XDA this could be amazing.
The lack of 3rd party apps is a slight worry though.
I wasnt expecting anything good with these phones after all they are made by "SHARP" and SHARP suck d**K in technology products. For those that own a product sorry...what ever you say it sucks and I am not interested in your comment.
Bare in mind that these 2 phones cover the section of crappy (low tech) handsets in the market.....like from Nokia, SonyErric, LG etc.
If you actually compare the CRAPPY handsets out there and chuck these 2 in with them these phones actually PWN them all !
SO well done introducing something new and PWN'ing the crappy handset market.....NEXT !!

You clearly haven't seen some of there Japanese phones, there actually quite good.
They look 'kin awful.
I think the KIN ONE looks cute we will have to wait to see what they really like?
This Kin stuff, aren't Microsoft like wasting resources on another seperate os?
This is kind of neat. You could argue it's not really a smartphone, but I like it. It's a brilliant piece of minimalism - it's all the essentials done well and nothing else. The big question for me would be the browser. If the browser's great then I can really live without most apps, if not I can imagine it feeling restrictive after a while.
To the gentleman above, I don't really think that MS is wasting resources here. They're probably reusing a lot of the same code, and just tweaking the UI for a different effect. But what an effect! I really don't think there's anything else like this one the market.
Neither appeal to me...you would have thought MS could have done way better than those relics!
Do we even know what screen size each device has? I will say I am kind of envious of the fact that the Kin 2 has what could be a nice 8mp camera with flash.
Honest to god those might just be the two most hideous phones I've ever seen.

Hardware, like most Samsung products, is usually pretty immaculate - can't complain about that. TouchWhiz UI is likely garbage as with most Samsung products software.
So with Root and a competent developer who could get AOSP working - Rockin.

My problems with the moment were hardware related. I'm going to keep an eye on this phone though. I want a kicking 3G phone though since I don't live in a 4G area and hate the idea of paying extra for a feature I won't use.

This is like phone porn. I'm all horny for touchwiz 3. http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/
Think this will be my next phone, i'm tired of waiting for HTC to put out a killer android phone that has a slide out keyboard. I have had bad experiences with samsung phones in the past (they were before smart phones even existed) but i'm willing to give them one more shot with this phone.
I've never had a Sammy phone. I had a couple Sony Ericsson's and then the HTC Wizard came out, been with HTC ever since. The hard qwerty is what drew me to HTC, I had no idea places like xda existed. It's been over a year since HTC has made a keyboard phone and the HTC Vision has one but I think it's only going to Tmous and I can't do that because they dont have a single 3G tower in Arkansas... I'm presently on AT$T because when I first got a cellular in 2003 Cingular was the best carrier in the state and I'm a creature of habit so I've stuck with them. But, they suck about picking up phones I like, the iPhone has hamstrung their network, and they're handing out free femtocells but when I called about that they basically told me to fu*k off. My two complaints about my TP2 are slowness and no headphone jack. Epic 4G/Galaxy S Pro ameliorates both of those to a t...
So, how do you people like Sprint? They'd save me money and I like the new phone every year... Also, what's the build quality like on sammies? Last question is are they as easy to take apart/repair as HTC phones are?
I have to say that every samsung phone I, or anyone I know has owned, holds up like a tank. They drop them, throw them and step on them and they are fine. I wouldn't be that rough, but its nice to see.
Really? I was a little worried about build quality since they seem to use a lot of plastic and little if any metal. I'd love for Epic's slider to be as firm as the Droid's but wasn't expecting much.
Well, their initial quality is what it is. But they stay in that condition with very good resilliance in my, and my friend's, experience.
I have a sammy dumbphone, the a727, and it has amazing build quality. Soft touch plastic, super thin and light, great battery life.
Samsung can make a good phone if they put their minds to it. The epic seems like the best galaxy phone, mostly because of that soft touch back. Getting the soft touch battery cover for my Pre made it feel five times better, much more solid and durable than the crappy glossy bendy plastic that is default on the pre(and the other galaxy variants).
Can you see how far we've gotten in the world of on the go? =)
Another thing. Isn't this video just beautiful? --> Epic

So I've been using my phone since early April, and I've found several things wrong with the Android 1.6 operating system. The biggest bug I've found with Android 1.6 is that women don't talk to me. I know if SE updated to 2.2, women would be beating each other up for a trip down my pants. Here's a list of other things 1.6 doesn't do or sucks at.
- Adobe Photo Light (It's not a Flash!) doesn't run on 1.6
- It doesn't butter my toast correctly
- When on a phone call, my ears aren't massaged by sound waves (Android 2.4+)
- It doesn't play the PSP UMDs I tried shoving in it
- Apple won't give me a free case for it
- The phone reboots when I ask Google Maps for directions to the End of the Rainbow
- Playing "The Final Countdown" doesn't result in a magic show by GOB.
- It doesn't drive my car
- The teleporting feature is only in Android 2.5 and higher
- It doesn't (deleted) when I (deleted) [Only in Android 6.9]
If you're as unsatified with your Xperia X10 as I am, your only refuge is to wait for the update to Android 2.1 OS, which many tech blogs believe is actually the Second Coming of Christ.

Just what I needed having read nothing but how truly awful this phone is (Idon't subscribe to that view... its fine by me, could be better but hey thats life)

But you CAN use it for masturbation! Oh happy day! .. so I've heard.
Anyhoooo ... the question of like vs. disliking the fact that it has 1.6 or not is irrelevant. Most new apps are only 2.1+ compliant rendering the phone pretty much useless (even for masturbation).
Not so happy day anymore.

apparently the Dildroid app will only be supporting 2.1 or above... sigh, it's quite heartbreaking
the only reason i want to have 2.1 its for live wallpaper nothing else. with 1.6 i have now every thing works great..

Hear hear. I'm not insanely excited about 2.1 more than from a naturally curious perspective. Rooted 1.6 works fine for me since wifi tethering was my only major gripe. Froyo on the other hand, that I'm looking forward to. A performance increase in the range of 250-500% depending on the application is a major win.
with android 1.6 ET cant go home
Too bad, you can't be as cool as me, woman see my phone and immediately jumps back. They give off this "omg what a geek" looks whenever i pull my x104 from my backpack. *yes backpack".
Yes you heard it right, i have a X104 ...which is MORE advanced than your little x10! because it is number 104.
It runs on window 7!, touch screen with a 1024 pressure with a wacom digitizer.
It weights 5.2 LBs total. Built it resist to scratch screen and capable to use it under the most bizarre and harizous condition! It also run on LONGER than your little x10...it runs for 8 hours!!!!
What can i do with it when you can't on your x10 ? Here is some list.
- Read porns in bigger screen than x10
- bang on it every night and it won't break after 5 years of uses
- It emit enough heat to warm my body and soul!
- It direct Missles ... use in military purpose sometime.
- who need android when you have window 7!
- brigther screen under the sun!
- can be use as a lethal weapon
- emit so much radiation.
Want prove?

Nice commercial; they're realizing that the average consumer doesn't need to be blown away by specs and CG graphics to buy the product. I hope they make more that showcase the qualities of the phone but they are heading in the right direction.
I fail to see how Moto continuously makes the spec oriented adds for the Xoom when Apple is winning the hearts of many with it's emotionally attached and "awe inspiring" commercials of the iPad 2.

well that's kinda simple...
the Tech oriented commercials are trying to attract the geeky / nerdy cloud of consumers (Us here people on forums)
the Awe, Cute, Funny, Nice, etc type commercials are aimed to the regular home user that knows nothing about the phone, they just want something that looks great, and works, and fully packed with features they don't even use.
and Samsung is doing well in the 2nd type of commercials

I know this, but as you can see with the sales numbers, the Xoom isn't selling THAT well. People are quick to forget that "we" make up a small percentage of the market and that isn't where companies need to advertise.
Think about it, how many people who actually know what those specs mean wouldn't already know about the Xoom? The point of a commercial isn't to advertise to your target audience (of course it is, in a way) because we are already "sold".
With new products like these, they should be going for the average Co sumer, one who doesn't know about the tablet and is wondering why they should get that over the iPaD.

That's the usual dirty trick Apple uses for trying to "exterminate" the potential real competitors!

Okay, when think about it. I want to rephase "apple" as "big companies"
The thing is there are some inventions that can only be designed one way. If apple sues samsung then palm should sue apple since the apple iphone is very close to the palm life drive.

Apple is suing everyone.. Amazon for the "app store' name, HTC, Motorola, and other companies for the 'swipe to do something' feature.. it's just a never ending story.
it sure took Apple a long time to notice the similarities between their products and Samsung's...or any other phone manufacturer for that matter. A dinner plate is like the moon if you point out enough common properties.
Apple: "Oh my god you copied the iPad and made it smaller, put cameras on it, and an sd card slot too?! shame on you! (...hey that camera idea is not bad..lets put them on the iPad2...)"
i can understand that they would see a imitation of the iPhone 3gs through the galaxy s.
but seriously, they are still selling iPhones like no other company is selling.
and their newest model, the iPhone 4 looks completely different.
and to say that Samsung is imitating the look and feel of the ipad with the galaxy tab is completely ridiculous.
they seem like small children,
this is my ball
no its my mine
give it to me
no
muuuuuuuum
XD
Tab and iPad..... white backs so they must be identical!!!!
Apple are going to sue me because I copied their designs.... my bathroom is exactly the same as an iPad..... white!!!

Reminds me of the Rolf Harris song ~ "Two little Boys had two little Toys".
Someone should go talk to the boys @ Xerox and see what they have to say about Apple and Intellectual Property..
...and on a side note, exactly how many different ways can you make a tablet and not have it be flat and rectangular with smooth edges ???
Fine until Samsung stops supplying parts to apple

Seems like this will see the end of rectangle devices with curved edged and devices with a black frame around the screen that are the same width.
I don't get why Apple don't just sue every manufacturer. It'll save them time as they're going at them one by one.
Its just such BS. Ill put a turtleneck jumper on my c0#k and sue Steve Jobs for stealing my idea.

All good points above. But understand this is the way of corporate America.
I am part owner of a company that imports musical instruments to the US. Specifically guitars.
I cannot tell you how many times I have received letters from Fender, Gibson, Taylor attorneys. NONE of my guitars are marked with these names, some of them do look similar.
But as has been said above, how many different guitar designs can there be? Made of wood, with a neck, 6 strings???
We have always replied stating that we do not use the name or photograph of THEIR product to sell ours. We have only once been sued by a guitar manufacturer for intellectual property rights violations. We fought, we won. But it cost us nearly $50k.
These corporations HAVE to do this. They have to draw a line in the sand and not allow others to infringe. Because at the point they no longer do that, they open themselves to ALOT of lost revenue.
I'll just leave this right here...
Found this article on www.cnn.com and kinda makes sence. I would love though to see samsung counter sue apple though imagine the amount of money they would get from iphone sales LOL.
but here is the article
http://www.businessinsider.com/heres-the-real-reason-apple-is-suing-samsung-2011-4
http://www.zweipunktnull.org/blog/2...-und-wann-schaltet-sich-eigentlich-braun-ein/ <- great article but in German (but there are a lot of comparison pics)
it shows how Apple was inspired by (stole) the Design of the famous German Designer Dieter Rams of the Braun Company.
