This is a little off topic, but can anyone get pornhub working on their iPhone 4? Maybe it has somthing to do with the antenna issue?

Pornhub, that sounds pretty cool. I wonder what its all about. LOL

No seriously, the only reason i'm getting an iPhone 4 is to view Pornhub on the astonishing retina display. Now i could look at ( . Y . ) 's in high def, For free!!!!!!

My brand new one does the same damn thing.

No yellow screen though, thank god.

**vindutch** · 06-23-2010, 11:24 PM

I have no issues with reception with or without a case. I got the case today from AT&T store. No yellow spots or any other visual defects. I did hit the mute, and speakerphone with my face. Seems like proximity sensor is a little touchy. Then one time while I was switching apps it looked like I had call with the green call glow up top. Then the call time minutes where just increasing pretty quickly by themselves. As soon as I exited app it stopped and disappeared. Now that was a little strange.

On a more positive note. I have had every new iPhone on the day of launch today was even better. By far this is the nicest looking one yet. With it's rectangle shape you have a much better grip. It does have more weight to it but it feels well made. Buttons feel sturdier and doesn't feel cheap at all.

What's up with the sarcasm in fixing iPhone problems today? Seems higher than usual. Lmao.

With me, the phone loses service completely or one bar case or no case. Strange thing is the 3GS does it too, but not on a firmware before 4.0

**ipod touch u** · 06-23-2010, 11:38 PM

i pre-ordered mine a week ago and i receive it on july 14th, hopefully there's no issues with my phone or ill be very upset. apple should not be having issues with their phones this early in the release of it. i mean their engineers are supposed to be some of the most genius people out there. how could a simple antennae problem slip by them? If apple knew about this problem the whole time and it is the true reason they are selling "bumpers", some type of lawsuit should be filed against them for selling a bogus product that they knew had problems in the first place. i just hope this isn't going to cause a mass recall, that would put a hurting on apple.

I was gonna call bs on this one, but it's happening to my phone. Guess that stolen iPhone at the bar wasent held right during the "test" phase. Everything else is great, and holding it with the left hand dosent seem to effect it.
