Apple IPHONE

I don't know. From what it sounds like to me (and I don't have a 4 yet, so
I could be completely wrong), the RF signal is being attenuated by
"shorting" of the "hot" and "ground" of the antenna by a person's hand. The
reason I say this is it sounds like putting the rubber bumper on the unit,
and therefore insulating the antenna from contact with the skin, corrects
the problem. Trying to correct this problem with a software "tweak" is
analogous to attempting to correct a short in a household power circuit with
the wave of a magic wand.
