Issues:

- The Proximity sensor: When talking on the phone it mutes my calls / puts it on speakerphone or hangs up on them because the sensor is not working properly. Since the sensor doesn't work properly my cheek presses those buttons.

- The transition between Wifi and 3G Problem: When you have wifi on and automatically have it hook up to a wifi signal it does that fine but then when you walk out of the building it has problems going back to 3G. I have to turn off the phone so it picks up data again.

- Dropped Calls: What else is new here right? I get at least 3 a day. Will this EVER be resolved? I also live in the Bay Area right next to Apple Head quarters. I am NOT in the boondocks! If you tell me you are don't get dropped calls then you are in denial BIG TIME!

I REALLY hope that apple's fix to this won't be the rip-off bumper piece of plastic they've suckered so many with that. They charge $30 for this piece of plastic and it costs them 10 cents to manufacture in China. I want a REAL fix. I want to be able to hold my iPhone anyway I want! And I don't want to be forced to buy or have a bumper so it works properly!

Now go ahead call me a Troll or whatever you want! I love apple products but if theres a problem with it, Id like a REAL fix and not a patch.]]>Jul 16th 2010 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/iphone-4-sales-3-million-and-counting/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/iphone-4-sales-3-million-and-counting/You probably experienced a lot of problems when you tried hacking your phone.

3 million units equates to less than 140k per day since launch.

That is far less than Android's 160k per day, especially when you consider the dramatic drop in sales from the first few days.]]>Jul 16th 2010 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/iphone-4-sales-3-million-and-counting/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/iphone-4-sales-3-million-and-counting/

Apple is in denial and will never fix their issues with their phone.

Most likely you're an Android phone user pretending.... Otherwise you'd know the iPhone 4 reception is superior to the 3GS.

DID I CALL IT or WHAT

"@Joshua Topolsky

They might do what they trained employees to do..not blame the customer take some of the blame themselves and then not give away stuff. Remember if you are a true apple fan free stuff shouldnt keep you around. They might say come exchange it if you want we have no problem with that. Then say we are always in the fore front and then throw some numbers at you and compare it to like sports or something. Reassure that AppleCare is the number 1 service in the world."]]>Jul 16th 2010 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/iphone-4-sales-3-million-and-counting/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/iphone-4-sales-3-million-and-counting/

10:40AM Q: Are you doing anything else to address the issue? Perhaps changing hardware?
Steve: You know, the 3GS has the same problem. We're getting reports from customers that this is better than the 3GS. So I don't know changing the antenna design would help -- I don't know what our next antenna design will look like.

Google claims that 160,000 Android "devices" are "activated" every day. It doesn't claim "phones" and it doesn't even claim "sold". For all we know, they are counting reactivations everytime a droid gets reparied.

To make a similar comparison, you'd have to combine the sales of all:
iPhone 4s, iPhone 3GSs, iPod Touches, and iPads. And then count "activations" instead of sales. I'm sure apple could get up to 300,000 if it fudged the numbers like Google.]]>Jul 16th 2010 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/iphone-4-sales-3-million-and-counting/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/iphone-4-sales-3-million-and-counting/Jul 16th 2010 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/iphone-4-sales-3-million-and-counting/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/iphone-4-sales-3-million-and-counting/

Nope. Sales are retail sales only, not distributions. It may include units at Best Buy, but since they're all out of stock, it doesn't really matter.

"that 1.7% is 51000, or basically imagine the entire US-only launch of the EVO consumers returning their phones."
And you think the takeaway fact from that statement is that Apple is playing with numbers--not that every single Evo could be returned, and it would still just be less than 1/50 of iPhone sales? 1.7% is not a high return rate for consumer products, even if every single person returned it because of the antenna (which is probably less than the number returning it after receiving an AT&T bill).]]>Jul 16th 2010 8:04PM
