With the release of new iPhone4, users have continued reports of problems with new hardware. One of the most troublesome is the reduction of signal, reported by many users.
The decrease in score is due to short circuit created by contact of the palm of your hand with two sections of the metal edge of external antennas iPhone separated by a groove black.
A very simple and cheap we are by Kit Eaton Fast Company. The basic idea is to isolate the antenna side that more troublesome a piece of scotch. A solution of half a cent to a device from 599 euros!
Here are the steps:
- Take a roll of adhesive tape ( Scotch transparent the town is fine) ;
- Cut a strip of tape one inch wide and as high as the telephone;
- align the tape to cover the metal bottom left section of the iPhone4 , the thin covering of black plastic channel shown in the picture ;
- glued tightly around the metal edge of the phone , covering the entire metal band ;
- Make sure that the palm does not touch the metal on both sides of the channel black.
It remains to confirm whether this really eliminates the problem entirely. Nevertheless, the first “field testing “are promising, although it is unclear how many iPhones are affected by the reduction of signal reception and if they are a significant number.
Obviously buy an enclosure would solve the problem of contact with the palm of your hand, even if a solution is certainly more expensive than the one proposed here. In the meantime you can indulge with tape of various colors to create a personal look.
