Antenna Strength All over the place?

---

Is it just me or is anybody elses Antenna Strength all over the place. I almost feel like I purchased a new iPhone 4 with an antenna problem. I'm not sure if its my local tower or what. I can put the phone on the table and watch the strength max out then I can pick it up and watch it dance around from full to well nothing.

Take my fingers off the chrome outer ring and balance the phone on my palm and watch the strength climb.

It was delivered today, so I haven't really played with it a lot. I can tell you that my 3G signal is horrid, but was fine on my G1. Its almost like I gained an awesome screen and lost signal in the process.

I am inside, but never noticed that kind of activity at all with my G1.

Play around with it a little more and see if it has any effect on your calls. Don't judge purely on the signal bars.

The bad 3g reception you mention is concerning though.

The bars are -15dBm off to actual reception.

Yes, my signal strength seems to jump all over the place as well. Hope it can be fixed with a software update.

some thing here im about to get new one maybe tomorrow

of course were not 100% sure yet but we think the bars aren't reading correctly although covering the bottom of the phone were the antenna is there will naturally be signal loss does it on my tp2 as we'll...

i have the same problem its weird but manageable i tested my phone to the iphone 4 and my phone loads web pages faster streams videos from the internet faster and connects to youtube through the youtube app to play videos faster and seems to be faster all together only downside is the iphone 4 has the ffc and higher resolution but thats it i can deal without that

i always say forget the bars, can you make a call Lol

I have been making calls on mine while showing zero bars. No real reception issue. I just ignore the bars.

Yeah, don't go by the bars at all with this phone. Like above, I've had zero bars, and no issues here with calls or browsing the web.
