definately not. At US they had the same problem, but the number of real issues were greatly exaggerated. Seriously, do you actually notice any performance drop or affecting any calls?

I think the death grip only happen at poor coverage area. like at my house, maxis coverage quite poor. when I do death grip, signal drop especially when I on 3g. It will drop till 3g icon change to edge icon. then signal stay ok. When I go somewhere where the maxis coverage is strong. Whenever I do death grip, the signal will never go down.

yes~
cos when i hold it signal bar drops frm 3 to 1... den call failed... but surfing is ok...

but my area using 3gs is full bar...
on iphone 4 normal is 3-4 bars only. when i hold drop to 2 n den 1 =.=

same telco number? I can't compare the bars because in my house, everyone use celcom. =.=

Seems few users buying the local sets is complaining about death grip and drop calls issues. Just hope Malaysia did not not get the short end of the stick recieving the early batches of production with these problems!

No one really knows how Apple distribute their sets. To many Americans , Malaysia is unknown country !! I was in USA few times for business, most time I got this awkward look from them when I said I am from Malaysia - most think is in Africa!! OMG !

All the early users in this forum had declared there was never such issue with their sets which was bought overseas. Infact I tested one unit in June at the meetup, didn't observe such issues at all at KLCC


There is a way to check production month of the set but I cannot remember it. Any member here knows, please advise

Guys, I wish to get Iphone 4.

But before that, can current IP4 users confirm me with the reception issue if it is not using the bumper??

yes you can

If you use Bumper or any case no reception issue at all.

If you're on a 2G network in layman terms. you turn OFF your 3G and turn ON the cellular data you're already on 2G network No Death Grip issue's

If your on an EDGE network, meaning you turn OFF your 3G and turn ON the cellular data 1 bar drop can be seen

If your on an 3G network, meaning you turn ON your 3G and turn ON the cellular data 2-3 bar drop can be seen

based on the above make your own computation's depending on the coverage area you're in. for example you're in a poor coverage area on a 3G network you put the phone in a Death Grip yes of course you'll end up with a NO SERVICE

cc = Production Week
So mine (buying from the Gardens Maxis on Friday 24th) is 36 weeks.

around 2nd week in August, am I right guys??

Hi,

Have anybody tried using facetime yet? How's the image and audio quality on our 1Mbps streamyx line? And how's it on other line eg. Wimax?

Thanks

using my 1mbps line, crystalclear...facetime using 3G (using My3G) also crystal clear

Dont forget to set your home screen wallpaper to a Darker one

i agree

Anyone tried FACETIME over Edge ???

Eh.. why?

So any info on the battery life ?

Rgds

i thought facetime only works via wifi

Reception issue is still there. It is physical design defect. Won't be able to solve with software. Better to use casing since the glass edge needs protection as well. Glass also would be scratched somehow. Accidents do happen.

mine exhibits no such issue, is there a credible source that you could reference which point out its a physical design defect? if it is we would have to return every single iPhone 4s out there, read the explanation that has already been given in the iPhone 4 and iOS thread, this is not the place to discuss it, posts reported.
