lol. my iphone 4 practically landed in Malaysia last nite

no problem when using it with maxis self made microsim.

bars still drop when i using the phone naked but not so severe, just 1 or 2 bars. well, i have bumper on it anyways and no signal drop watsoever

no problem surfing on 3g and making calls

Got your another new iPhone 4 d? Tha was fast.
Yeah disabling 3G will help since gsm service is more widespread than 3g

tested mine on maxis. bar goes from full to 1 bar when grip it naked. no problem with bumper on.
but then again, who grip their phones so hard when making call?

i have no problem using it naked tho but i prefer protection on something as expensive as iphone coz i drop my phone a lot

i have invisible shield full protection and still experiencing signal lost issue

yeah but the side band does not fully cover the antenna. there are still some gaps. I am not really satisfied with the IS tho. will probably change to a new SP soon.

i am happy coz apple refunded the bumper case i purchased from the retail store automagically

hassle free if you pay by card. if you pay by cash you need to walk in to retail store and claim.

Did you bought the bumper together with the phone? If yes it will be refunded to the credit card.

If not you cab claim from iPhone case program

bumper was 25 pounds or 29 USD iinm. now its free


There is always price to pay to be early adopters. But its the experience that counts. Been using it since launch day and never regretted buying it.

To be frank, I do experience antenna issue when using my iPhone 4 without bumper and tested it using the iPhones tht i have in hand. I also received some feedbacks of survey that i carried out using PM.

To my findings, the earlier batches seems to be working fine but the later batches are experiencing problems with the antenna and the problem seems to be more severe. I did not receive any feedback from the latest batch tho. Apple might have fixed it in some of the newer batches according to some other forum. However, none of the people I have surveyed encounter signal lost on normal usage. The only occurrence of signal loss is when you hold it the way known as the grip of death which is a very awkward way to hold your phone.

I think the antenna problem is really a hyped out problem. Any phone will experience it as Apple has pointed out. Apple has tried to keep the customers happy by giving free case for iPhone. This will drag their reputation and publicity down. Damage has been done. Apple will patch the problem in the newer iPhones and also release a new firmware to fix it.

For me personally the antenna issue doesn't affect me at all. I rather have a speedy iPhone 4 with delicious retina display to play and enjoying every moment of it rather than worrying about the antenna issue. Its just a small matter to me even at my house in UK i do not have a strong signal but as long as there is 1 bar i still can make a call.

As for Apple's move, some people will think Apple is ignorant with their problematic iPhone but notihng is perfect in this world. Anyways, enough of me ranting about the antenna issue. guess i need to hit the sack

i am not sure. the last time i waited for about a month i think.

Signal loss is depending on the area you are in so it is quite hard to say but i tested all units in UK and Malaysia without bumper and on normal usage i did not encounter severe signal loss. I cant say that i have 100% full bar or no signal loss at all coz it depends on various factors. There will be signal loss when i use it normally but that is not really a concern as it does not affect my usage.

As for my iPhone i have been using it with bumper since the first day. So i am not really bothered about the antenna issue. But to prove that the issue really causing problem i did a couple of tests myself and asked a couple of forumers to help. On normal usage (i tried using my phone without bumper for a day) it doesnt really affect me but only when i hold it a certain way i will experience severe signal loss until to a point where i get "No Service".

i have no problem whatsoever running on ios4 on my 3GS. still on the developer GM version coz i am too lazy to update it after i have my iphone 4

I still play some games on the old 3GS tho. More like my family members play the games

my mom couldnt sleep without playing bejeweled on my iphone

count me in? lol.

I believe that was the iPad plan ones coz iPad also using microsim. Now Maxis also provide microsim for iPhone 4 as confirmed by stringfellow

If you are on maxis head to maxis centre and change to microsim for RM25

Yes. Only iphone 3GS and iphone 4 can change wallpaper for home screen.
