I saw on twitter just now someone saying that they heard the issue was tied in with the baseband :/
interesting. Maybe thats why 4.0.1 is being rushed for iP4 |

That's a quick 30 second pan around that I took this morning down by the seafront in Frinton, unedited. Here's a pair of stills (resized) in the same location.

How can a hardware issue be fixed by a software upgrade?

Because it's a software issue, not a hardware issue, maybe?
Just to report back, I've spent the day wandering around town and have had perfect signal all the time, even when trying the death grip to disrupt it. Conclusion? Non-issue

It does make you wonder... if it can be fixed by software that indicates that either the current software isn't representing actual signal strength or if it is... the new one won't be.
It's something that'd be very easy to cover up with a bodge job without anyone really being able to find out about.

Because there have been some reports that the 3GS is affected by the same problem, even though the hardware hasn't changed. Don't know if those reports are in any way factual but they would back up the case for it being firmware.
Actually, in that case it would probably be a combination - namely some signal loss (which can happen on any phone), exacerbated by firmware that is too sensitive to the signal loss. Last edited by Mark; 26-06-2010 at 20:38. |
