Poor reception for UK iPhone users

UK Apple iPhone users are having problems connecting to O2's mobile phone network.

The problem is most likely related to the battery of the Apple iPhone. When the battery is newly charged, signal strength goes up so these people could probably boost up their signal strength by charging their Apple iPhone, Information Week reports.

The problems have been aired by some 100 Apple iPhone users, posting replies on an Apple iPhone discussion forum relating to reception problems.

The first complaint was posted just two days after the Apple iPhone went on sale in the UK on 9 November.

I'm approving it based on the assumption that iPhone plays games, (I wouldn't know and wouldn't care for iPhone.) It's over 100-degree, so obviously gamers are interested in iPhone.

Sounds logical to me. iPhone plays some cool games & can link via iTunes to Xbox 360. So how on earth is this not game related ?

How is this related to gaming? (Yes, I see that it is on the mobile/tech channels.)

For me the phone isn't a problem, it looks a great piece of kit but it will be a cold day in hell before I pay £270 for a phone and then pay £35 for quite possibly the worst contract ever conceived. I'd pay £270 if it were PAYG but if its on contract I don't wanna know unless the phone is free.

Apple need to drop this stupidity of wanting a cut of the contract profits, don't they make enough money from the hardware, especially considering that UK users basically pay double USA for the same kit.

or the Playstation Phone..lol..J/K

had one, and returned if a few days later.

while it certainly looks the nuts, in reality its about as functional/practical as a wet carrot.

IntelligentAj6801d ago

Let this problem persist so the Apple loses the footing it gained in the US

O2 is a crap deal. It should have gone to vodafone!

Probably down to the high cost of gaming. Controllers and racing wheels can cost as much as consoles.

This is why there will always be competition in gaming. The possibilities to make huge profits is just too enticing.

Pokémon Go Championship Winner Title Revoked for ‘Unsportsmanlike Conduct’

The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.

How is that unsportsmanlike conduct? What a stupid decision lol

gold_drake93d ago

lol wut.

since when is bumping fists "unsportsmanlike".

Inverno93d ago

There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.

SethNW93d ago

Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
