Oh Yea. Just to let everyone know.....

The WI-FI death grip is on the top right corner. Not trying to put a damper on the HTC One because I love it. Just wanted to inform you guys.

Really? It works fine for me even when I put my hand on the top right corner of the device. But either way it doesn't matter, top right corner is better than both sides of a device. lol

It is kinda awkward to grip sometimes but while I was watching netflix I was holding part of the top right corner and I notice I was down 1 bar in wifi. Then I tried covering it as much as I can (since it is kinda awkward to grip it) and it drop down to 1 bar. I think I will post a video of it later. I have Sprint, maybe it is just a Sprint problem (highly doubt) but just want to let people know so they dont grip that part of the phone.

Totally agree. *cough* apple *cough* *cough* lol. But it is kinda awkward to grab. I just happened to notice when I was watching Netflix. It is just kind of a fore warning to not grab the corner.

Yeah I know. Thanks!

And yeah, the iPhone 4's death grip was hilarious. lol. I am glad they eliminated it in the 5.

After figuring out the death grips on the One and I sat there and thought "Apple made the 5 out of mostly aluminum...... they must of really made sure they didn't have those problems again" lol

I have the Sprint One as well, and after messing around with it I finally got down to 2 bars. It took some moving around the house and a few close calls where I almost dropped my device, but I got it

For you to have problems with these death grips though you must really hold the phone wrong since they are located on the corners of the phone.

 

[JRLasVegas]

Mine drops to one bar but then jumps back up, it's like a temporary death grip lol. But I don't give a veal, my last phones death grip was when I place it in panoramic view! **** that pissed me off!

HTC One > Galaxy 4 > IPhone 5

Amazing... It really does happen. Mine goes from full bars to none as soon as I hold the corner.
In a weird way I like it though, like it's a flawed genius of something.

Could be a problem when holding the phone in landscape though as you tend to hold all four corners when doing so.

 

[mrbootcrm]

I can't get my wifi signal to budge no matter how I hold it. Maybe I'll go to a weak signal part of the house and try it.

 

[grgiwoyna]

My device doesn't appear to be impacted by this at all. Absolutely no change in wireless signal at all.

 

[Topgonzo]

Ya I've actually never had this happen or really noticed a problem and if you are trying to find a way of holding it that will cause problems then shame on you.

Isn't a "death grip" when you hold something as tightly as you possibly can? Who would hold a phone that way?

I'm not trying to find problems. I was doing what Sincs said above. I was holding all four corners, since I was watch Netflix, and I tapped the screen and notice my wifi signal was lower than usual. And being the curious person I am, I tested it and was able to confirm the wifi death grip.

 

[Gathomblipoob]

I tried holding the lower right corner of my One and my wiener fell off. I'm not worried about my Wi-Fi at this point.
