Has anyone noticed that when you have the phone in landscape mode and you have the keyboard out and you are typing you loose wifi signal? Then remove left hand and signal comes back? I will have to make a video when I get home and have a camera to do so. Anyone else?

I tried this and I did lose one bar of wifi. I also tried with the keyboard closed by covering the top of the phone with my hand, and also lost a bar of wifi. But it was not a deathgrip issue where signal was instantly lost. Guess this just means the wifi antenna is on the top of the G2, and obstructing it has an effect.

Defiantly not holding it wrong...and not apply hardly any pressure. I didn't notice it at all at home...but at my in laws. Possibly not a very strong wifi signal but makes 100% difference when I have my hand over the top of the phone. I've had an email waiting to send and as soon as I removed my hand the email sent. Will post video hopefully tonight showing how little pressure is applied and how strongly the signal is affected.

I don't lose any bars from my wifi. That's odd though.
I lose a bar from my phone signal.

I am experiencing a iphone like death grip on my atrix. Anyone else?

Nope, not one bit.
Edit: By not one bit, I mean that under normal circumstances of me holding the phone how I normally would it does not drop even 1 bar. I've made no attempt to purposefully smother it because thats well... stupid. If it works how you use it, why do you care if you can go out of your way to smother out a signal?
care to elaborate?
tried it, like on any phone out there...it goes down a bit but not badly. I even tried to smother it with both hands while running pandora, it dropped one bar. I'm not concerned with it. Motorola has been building radios for a long time, they know how to do that stuff.
Every single phone loses some signal when you basically cover it with your hands and squeeze. The reason the iphone was singled out so bad was because you could basically use one finger to short out the antenna and lose like 3 plus bars.

Although I did manage to make it lose 2 bars of signal strength. My Vulcan death grip did not work. I then realized it was a Borg, as it proceeded to assimilate me.
Mine usually goes to 1 bar when i hold the phone in left hand. Was just curious.

goes to one bar from full bars or were you already in a low signal area?
I've seen some complaints about the wireless network performance on the 7.0. Having broken one and subsequently taken it apart, I couldn't help but notice what was causing the problem.
The circled area is shows the antenna on the back case, right where one would hold the device. Seems like a silly design, is this normal?

Never had ANY problems with ANY Wi-Fi connectivity or networks! But yes!, I agree that is NOT a really good spot for the sensor! :silly:
Sounds like the problem the iphone had awhile back where if you positioned your hand just right you lost all cell signal

Yup....death grip for Wi-Fi
I have the death grip with wifi on my p3113 tab too.

The $14 Belkin case at office despot allows you to hold it however you like. You can assume other cases do as well.

A few more I took a while back:

I think I got used to it and I don't care much anymore.
Sorry, I didn't realize this had already been covered

Funny you should mention it. JUst this morning I had my tab dockd on my keyboard with a strong wifi signal. I took it off the dock to use it and lost my signal. I put in back on my dock and the signal came back nice and strong. I figured holding it was interferring with wifi.

I think the Jelly Bean OTA has taken care of that,so far when I hold it I don't see any bars dropping.

Being a soldier in Afghanistan with a whopping <56k download speed, this matters a lot. I've noticed many times where laptop folk, or even other iPad folks, would benefit from having a signal, where I would have none! I've noticed that I would literally drop a bar of wifi if I held it in landscape, with my right hand over the Samsung symbol...very lame indeed. When I return to the state's,I hope this won't be too much of a problem.

You will get a good signal if you have a good router, for example,I have downloaded 1 gb of maps for my gps program and the speed was 1mbps, if I hold with left hand drops to 100 kbps, the connection only disappears if cover all left corner, that only happens on purpose (its not the way i usually hold the tab)

i don't know about you guys but after upgrading to 4.3 my phone vibrates randomly out of the blue with no provocation
usually its very short, doesn't bother me that much but its still annoying
anyone with the same issue?

Ok so everytime I share something and that list populates with different things to share, does it take anyone else like 5 taps before it actually selects it? it takes forever! it'll never select it on the first tap. don't understand why it does this but I share constantly that it's so damn annoying.

Same problem here
isn't it the most annoying thing? my s7, despite being a laggy device, was super fast with sharing. this one is super slow and very irritating.

May have something to do with the phone looking for devices to share to, say, on the network? Does it hang when wifi, nfc, file sharing is off?
My biggest gripe is when I select to share something, I get suggestions for apps and contacts using apps that I don't want at the top nor do I ever use them...
still hangs when wifi and stuff is off. I never have nfc on. idk why it does it, maybe the list is populating but it should be already populated like in the phone cache. idk, even my slow ass s7 didn't do that so it's very annoying

Mine doesn't lag but it is very annoying because the icons are never in the same spot so when I'm doing a lot of sharing they will always be rearranged and gets annoying sometimes.
