death grip

**Irvgotti** · 06-15-2012, 06:01 PM

Mannnn. My galaxy nexus has a horrible death grip problem. The signal is good. But when I hold with one hand, in 5 seconds I have no service. So I kept doing it. And it obviously have a death grip.

anyone have the same problem or just a bad signal reading?

I've never noticed this. Tried it just now, and my signal went up a bar.

My Wifi went up one bar when I did it, otherwise no change in 4G service.

I have large hands and majority of my hand covers the upper part. (Covers camera). But its only drops service when I don't use a case. I think that's what he meant by holding the top.

I just tried it and my Wi-fi went from 2 bars to nothing when I grasp around the top.
