Actually, depending on the context, it does. The iPhone 4 hasn't dropped a call for any of my friends or colleagues in Canada.]]>Aug 4th 2010 2:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/Aug 4th 2010 2:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/This post is not about AT&T , its about awesomeness of jailbreaked iPhone!]]>Aug 4th 2010 2:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/I went to one of Rogers store and played around with the display model. I tried the death grip and it didn't work. I touched the lower left corner, no signal loss. So I think maybe the Canadian version has a fix already since they were still in the assembly line during the release of American version. Can anyone let me know why there si no signal loss at all.]]>Aug 4th 2010 2:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/
It partially has to do with the fact that the signal from Canadian carriers is just so strong that no matter how you touch it, it retain enough signal to get data through for calls...]]>Aug 4th 2010 2:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/Aug 4th 2010 2:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/Hmmmm. Now you can use the iPhone on a carrier besides AT&T. I'm pretty sure it does have something to do with AT&T.]]>Aug 4th 2010 3:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/Aug 4th 2010 3:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/Aug 4th 2010 3:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/I meant to say that it didn't drop a single bar! They were all going strong without any flickering! So maybe you are right that our signals are much stronger or maybe they repositioned the antenna for Canadian, Asian and European market. Someone has to find out. ]]>Aug 4th 2010 3:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/I'll do it again, this time outside my house since my friends has 20+ left to sell. I'll actually do it tomorrow and let you guys know how it turns out.]]>Aug 4th 2010 3:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/Aug 4th 2010 4:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/
I ain't your buddy, friend!

I didn't know what any of that stuff meant until I googled it and unlocked my old iPhone 3G. If you've never jailbroken/unlocked your iPhone before, you probably DON'T know what that means, so that's just an idiotic comment, buddy.]]>Aug 4th 2010 4:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/As you may know the silver band around the phone is the antena, on the bottom right side of the phone there is the wifi antena, the rest of the band is the radio. On the bottom right corner of the phone there is a small gap between these two antenas, if any moisture gets in this gap from sweaty hands there will be signal drop. ]]>Aug 4th 2010 5:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/I know the antenna design and whats's where. I wrapped two hands around it and nothing dropped. So I went for the bottom corner and see if I could drop the wifi and nothing happened. So I will attempt again around my friend's house and see what happens.]]>Aug 4th 2010 6:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/
If your phone is locked to AT&T and this article is about unlocking, how does this not have anything to do with AT&T???]]>Aug 4th 2010 6:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/
We have three new iphone 4s here in toronto and I can verify that all three of them suffer from signal loss problems the same as our US iphone 4s. Nothing has been fixed. If the signal is very strong then the death grip has less of an effect but in our office we have one spot where the signal shows up at full strength but applying the grip will cause it to drop to 1 bar in a few seconds.]]>Aug 4th 2010 8:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/Aug 4th 2010 8:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/Aug 4th 2010 8:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/There is still an issue, but I don't ever think it was ever a big issue. You need to hold it for many seconds for the bars to go down, since they work on a moving average of signal strength.]]>Aug 4th 2010 9:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/
Okay, AT&T, IMO, doesn't suck at all. They're the best carrier in the U.S. of A. They're network is the only network handling the amount a data and traffic then any other network. Plus, when people make that whole, my service sucks here argument. I don't doubt that because just like every other carrier, they're great in some area's and poor in others. Lastly, if AT&T was so bad, why does every major player partner w/them? Preferred carrier of Apple, Nokia, WP7, and BB? I'm not saying that AT&T isn't bad, just not as bad as everyone makes them, and tries to make you believe that every other carrier is soooo much more amazing.]]>Aug 4th 2010 9:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/Aug 4th 2010 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/I still consider AT&T to be bad even though most big names partner with them. The only reason they are the preferred carrier is that they use the same bands and network type as the rest of the world. Their network is not the best and not even good IMO. ]]>Aug 4th 2010 10:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/Aug 4th 2010 10:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/And im not your firend, guy.]]>Aug 4th 2010 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/Aug 4th 2010 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/
I bet there are so many people thinking right now of any reason to unlock their iPhones...

international travel & carrier in independence]]>Aug 4th 2010 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/Aug 4th 2010 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/While I was living in Canada as a Neuroscientist studying motor control using surface EMG, I noticed that a substantial number of Canadians have dry skin due to the nature of the environment. Because of this, many of my experiments were affected with detriment. I am certain that any number of individuals who do not experience signal attenuation with the grip of death are also experiencing similar "dry skin" benefits. I think the grip of death might actually work for many individuals with the addition of a bit of skin lotion prior to testing the grip. I tend to have moderately sweaty (not wet) hands and I can attenuate the signal in 10 seconds or less on pretty much any iphone 4 that I touch. I do not need to grip them very tight either.]]>Aug 4th 2010 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/how about to get out of having to get under contract for at&t? i unlocked mine, no need to pay for data when i got wifi almost everywhere i am at. i now pay $15 a month for my iphone plan....

on that note, i know jailbreaking is 100% legal, is unlocking? ive heard that if att determines you are using an iphone under a non iphone plan, they reserve the right to charge you for it. is this true, has this ever happened to anyone on here?]]>Aug 4th 2010 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/yay I can travel with my iPhone now]]>Aug 4th 2010 4:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/Aug 4th 2010 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/I think some people produce lots of acid from their skin, and the acid is more conductive. This has never come up in our society because most people don't carry firearms, and the use of bare, non-stainless, metals is infrequent.
I also think this is part of the reason why sculpture can be so alluring - the exposure to materials that one normally does not see.]]>Aug 4th 2010 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/I did the same thing. Here in Canada mine won't drop a bar when I have a strong (five full bars) signal.

Touching that spot only seems to affect it when I'm in a low-signal area (somewhere where my 3G only had 2 bars). It will go from 5 to 2.

So, once I update to 4.01, I am assuming in those areas it will properly show 2 instead of 5, and won't actually drop. ]]>Aug 4th 2010 8:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/Aug 6th 2010 8:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/Aug 4th 2010 2:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/Aug 4th 2010 3:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/Aug 4th 2010 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/Aug 4th 2010 2:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/
Unlocking was always legal. Jailbreaking (ie. DRM breaking for phones) was made legal.]]>Aug 4th 2010 2:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/Aug 4th 2010 2:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/
Actually, your comment works quite well in the context of this article.

Why were you thinking that?]]>Aug 4th 2010 7:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/Aug 4th 2010 2:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/iphone-4-unlock-is-now-available/It's because the problem was minor, but blown out of proportion. Don't get me wrong, I'm not excusing Apple for the odd design choice. But the mainstream media (CNN, etc) and the Android fanboys ran with a story that they didn't really understand. It's a problem to some (anyone with piss poor at&t coverage), yes, but it's nowhere near as bad as it may have sounded. That's the one and only reason I give Apple a slight pass for their sort of childish Youtube videos.]]>Aug 4th 2010 2:59AM
