I am in the Appalachians, intermittent signal, naked Classic. The iPhone gets a fine signal.

Ive discovered that if I hold the Classic, the signal will die. If I lay it on the bed, it returns (though still not as consistent as the iPhone (6).

What's the deal? Issue with touching the steel frame?

Let's clear up the obvious first.. are they both on the same carrier?

My guess is that it's being held by a dead cowboy

yes, both ATT
my phone is naked, my friend's is in the Apple battery case

and I tried a soft and hard reset. and this behavior doesnt occur in normal/good signal areas

Weird. Here (Aust), most people I know have iPhones - I have a classic. We all have the otterbox defender cases, yet I always seem to get full signal, even in the more remote areas, compared to the others with iphones who, even in a well covered area get maybe 3-4 out of 5 'dots'. In more remote areas they are sometimes lucky to get 1-2, whilst I still have full coverage. We are all on the same carrier too.

Apple's response: "You're holding it wrong."

Too bad that response wouldn't work for BB...

Update

So now that I'm back home, I realized I was having some issues with my reception again. Just made a call and was hung up on due to bad connection. Which is new for me. (though I haven't seen any other signs of it in the past day since I've been back.)

So I threw my sim into my new B&W Passport and made the call again, clean and clear as a whistle.

I'm thinking that my copy of this Classic may just have some new reception issues.

Oh well. Luckily I have the Passport (which is exactly what I said about this Classic when my old Passport randomly died...and I swear I'm not hard on these phones...my Q10 is still running great after so long and a keyboard replacement).

Yah, maybe it's defective in some way. My Classic still has good reception. Although I've noticed that the reception got slightly worse since I did the last update though, lol.
