      There may be a software fix in the works for iPhone 4 reception issues

      June 26, 2010 /

      iPhone 4 FaceTime.A lot of new iPhone 4 owners have been sorely disappointed by the handset’s reception. There is an issue that causes reception to drop dramatically when held so that the two bands on the side of the phone that serve as antennae are connected.

      Users at Apple Insider claimed to have seen reports on Apple’s official tech forums that a software fix would be coming this week, as early as Monday.

      Readers report that Apple’s tech support forums originally confirmed that a iOS 4.0.1 software fix addressing the issue would ship early next week (as early as Monday), before the comments were subsequently taken down along with all the other related discussion about the matter.

      The fix is expected to address a issue in iOS 4 related to radio frequency calibration of the baseband. Readers who saw the original forum discussions say that the issue is believed to occur when switching frequencies; because the lag is allegedly not calibrated correctly, it results in the device reporting “no service” rather than switching to the frequency with the best signal to noise ratio.

      iOS 4 introduced some enhancements to how the baseband selects which frequencies to use, so it makes sense that the error may have crept into those changes. Additionally, this explains why iOS 4 has also caused similar problems for iPhone 3GS users.

      Let’s hope this is true. I haven’t personally had the problem, but I’d be pretty pissed if I had a great handset that couldn’t actually be used as a phone.

      iPhone 4 problems

      June 24, 2010 /
      I realize I’m a bit…ahem…fanboyish when it comes to Apple products. What can I say? I love them. They work well for me and complement my lifestyle. But they aren’t perfect. Everything has its flaws, so it seems only fair to share those of the iPhone 4.

      First, the glass. It doesn’t seem to be as strong as Apple first suggested. There have been multiple reports, pictures, videos, whatever, of the back of the phone shattering from minimal impact. Not exactly the most desirable feature from your beautiful new phone.

      Some users are also complaining of yellowed screens near the home button. The official response is that it’s just drying glue, but that seems a little unlikely to me. I guess we’ll see over the course of the next couple days.

      A number of users have also reported significant signal loss when holding the phone by the bezel. You may remember, the bezel is the antenna for the phone, so it stands to reason that this could be an issue. Personally, I haven’t had this problem, and my call quality has actually improved from the 3GS, especially when I have low signal strength.

      Lastly, some users are reporting that cameras are crashing their devices. Again, haven’t personally experienced this problem but it looks like a decent number of people have.

      How good is the iPhone 4 display?

      June 23, 2010 /

      iPhone 4 home screen.There you have it – an unmodified screenshot of the iPhone 4 homescreen (click on it to see the full-size image).

      You can see a little bit of blur on the Google, Facebook, and WordPress apps and you know why? The image quality of those icons is too low to keep up with the resolution. Obviously all of the Apple apps have icons that scale with this ridiculous display. I’m sure other app makers will go the same route once they update for iOS 4.

      iPhone 4 impressions

      June 23, 2010 /
      My new iPhone showed up in the hands of a sweaty FedEx guy (it’s 100 degrees here today) right around 1PM and I’ve been playing with it ever since. The short version of this post, like so many other iPhone 4 posts, is this: The iPhone 4 is exactly what a smartphone should be – fast, (reasonably) flexible, and functional.

      The first thing I noticed out of the box is the build. It feels so much more solid than the 3GS in your hand. It feels thin but heavy, like you’re holding something important, which is about how it should feel. Gone is the plastic from the back of the 3GS and in its place is a solid piece of glass – the same piece that graces the front. The volume buttons feel sturdy, as does the hold switch (a welcome change from the 3GS hold switch, which feels like it’s on the verge of breaking every time I flick it). I also love that the phone now sits flat on my desk.

      The next thing to catch my eye was the screen. Dear god it is beautiful. You can appreciate the difference between the two immediately, but you really start to understand the difference when you look at the smaller details. When I installed iOS 4 on my 3GS I was excited, but I was a little underwhelmed by some of the display features. In folders, for instance, many of the app icons look blurry and out of focus. Not so on the iPhone 4. Icons look just as crisp within the folder as they do on any of your app screens.

      The iPhone 4 is fast. A lot faster than the 3GS it seems, most likely because of the RAM upgrade from 256MB to 512MB. That’s especially nice with the fast app-switching in iOS 4. The faster processor also allows you to pull off the 720p video recording that now comes standard. Video looks great, as do stills, running through the new 5 megapixel camera, which added a flash.

      Call quality has been improved with the addition of a noise-canceling secondary microphone. I haven’t yet been able to test FaceTime but as soon as I can I’ll post some more impressions.

      If you’re on the fence about the new iPhone, get to an Apple store and play with one. Though I knew I wanted one, I couldn’t appreciate the new feature set until I actually saw it. Now, I’m in love.
