Proximety sensor issue is driving me insane!!! I dropped 5 calls today and it tried to open face time twice. I am ready to take it to the genius bar and throw it at the first genius I see.
Shattered the front of my iphone today. Short fall off my lap onto gravel while getting out of the car. My old iphone took lots of abuse. Not this one.
Reading online this is a problem. For all Steve Job's promises the glass not all that durable Who would design a cell phone made of glass? Apple blew it on this one as far as I'm concerned. Don't buy it.
Be sure to keep a case on your i4! Dont end up like me.
Im going to start a build thread on my iPhone. Yes, a build thread. Im going to try and resolve the antenna issue my self, as well as replace the glass and have a custom colored iPhone. Waiting on my check to come in, any ideas?
I posted earlier as I also dropped my phone and the front cracked. I have seen a couple of replies and thought I would clarify.
1. I had a bumper. They don't help protect your screen. If it lands face down on a pebble you can kiss your screen goodbye. Even from only a couple of feet up.
2. I see this is a huge flaw in the design. I am amazed that Apple would put out a product that is this fragile for an environment that is so harsh. The othe phone companies haven't gone this direction. They have access to the same glass as Apple does. Not a good decision.
3. Those screen protectors probably won't do much to keep your glass from breaking. Being only a few thousanths of an inch thick they don't do much to absorb the shock of the phone dropping.
I am no longer a big fan of this phone.
