"Grip of Death"?

---

I took this video of my shift from my original evo. If its not as bad as the iPhone its still troubling.

What do you all think?

I tried replicating your results and haven't been able to. My signal doesn't seem to change at all regardless of how I hold the phone.

Unable to replicate.

Sent from my bathroom, with toilet paper.

think someone has too much time on their hands

Mine does the exact same thing. It is pretty annoying. Probably my biggest complaint about the Shift so far.

Mine did the same as well. PArt of why I returned it

does the same thing for me as well.

There is another thread further down in general that talks about low signal issues and the antenna being in the bottom of the phone.

I figured this issue might be related to just my home but it happens every where. I am hopeful its a defective antenna otherwise I'm considering returning and going back to my Evo.

I have updated my PRL and profile several times hoping this will resolve my issue with no effect.

Same thing happens with wifi. Maybe get a holster and Bluetooth headset? I know. I have an idea for an invention. A hat that has a holster on top for your phone. No more body blocking signals!

Another thing kinda related, the old phones with the telescopic antennas usually always outperformed phones with stub or internal antennas. I say bring back the telescopic antennas and get more bars!
