Network insist iv got signal.

Actually its dead slow on 3g and often goes to E. !

No wonder they've altered antennae design now

You're holding it wrong.

 

Ah yes ,i should be holding it on the end of a pole !

 

Apple even decides how customers should hold a phone ffs.

 

Do Apple stipulate how to properly hold iphones in the IFU to mitigate against shoddy design.

Seeing that wireless communication electronics was my original field of study, I will say this:

ANY device that requires omnidirectional reception/transmission that doesn't have a dipole aerial and isn't distanced away from its electronics or anything that will block or interfere with the signal WILL perform poorly.


The only reason why phones have got away without having proper aerials is because the circuitry now is more sensitive and selective to improve signal to noise ratios which can work better with reflected signals along with more cellular network coverage minimising weak signal areas.

Fact of the matter is, if a phone had a proper aerial that wasn't half-blocked by its case and using current day circuitry, it'd have fantastic reception almost anywhere.

People think that fundamental electronics don't apply anymore, they do, and always will. Just manufacturers have bent the rules a little for the sakes of aesthetics. Much like those complaining about poor WiFi signal, when their router is hidden behind a desk and all their devices don't have external aerials.....

In short technology has its limitations. Of course if the antenna connectors inside the case has come loose or isn't properly seated (which can happen due to vibration and shock) then signal will also suffer.

Get a Nokia 6110

 

That wasn't fair

 

I don't recall my lg viewty having such problems

 

For about a week you were ahead of the curve.

 

Triggered TP - 1 point
Angered OP - 0 point

Good result.

 

I didn't need this sort of excitement

 

No but in response to my post in that thread and considering this thread it was just what I needed.

 

Does 6110 have Edge? , it could well be quicker than this one .

It's not like I'm in the backwoods either

 

Have you double clicked your home button and removed all apps? Have you cleared your history and website data? Reset network settings? Taken off background app refresh?

 

The phone's fine, he needs to move.

 

I wouldn't have anywhere near the faith in an Apple product as I did, Jack. They are struggling now to keep up and maintain a stability they once had.

In the OP''s case he might just need to put the bottle down.

 

LOL, Of course the Apple iPhone is fine, if you have a crap signal you are either holding it wrong or you need to sell your gaff and move elsewhere.

Apple (and Jack) says so.

alternatively, just a crazy suggestion here - buy an Android and keep your house and feel free to hold it anyway you wish.

You lose some brownie points for not being an elite member of the Apple hierarchy however.

 

I put Stella down , or least drank her all

Iv got 40gb free space/ been through every setting several times

Unfortunately my previous Android won't accept sim card and is locked anyway, so will have to shell out 50 quid on another one . But, I had this run around with Vodafone couple years ago when they supposedly had some engineering works, blasted phone wouldn't work accept outside their shop. Maddening, but only lasted month.

 

Buy an Android, if you're buying Android then you're doing it wrong, Android is free, well, you're selling your behaviour instead of buying it.

 

Make that 2.

 

3 before the day's out.

 

Only 3? You're not even trying

 

There's nothing wrong with the phone and everything wrong with Vodfone.

Of course if you'd not actually intende to troll, you'd have linked to ytour service provider's ineptitude rather than some random Danish test

Googling "vodafone are ****" produces over 1 million hits.

 

I don't think can be all the network because the salesman in apple shop mid town on same network same phone with 3g signal connected straight away , mine lagged ....

id like use another phone with this sim to reassure myself

maybe its even the sim

 

Shops sometimes use a different APN. There was a 6 month period where I live where 3G was on it's knees, you could switch APN and play it a bit.

There's nothing spectacular about the aerials in iPhones but they're not lacking R&D.

 

Ask them to swap out your sim. I had an issue with one on O2 a few years back.

 

Apple have done a magnificent job in turning you into a fanatic that you are.

Seriously, you should get a position as head of marketing, take neil here as your understudy he is slowly learning from the master.

lets try again Jack, you clearly have a problem with basic reading comprehension.

 

If you include the other thread, that's 4
