Mac OS XAccording to AppleInsider, Apple is working on a new software update for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, 3G and iPod touch to fix the dreading signal loss bug which has been plaguing users since the iPhone 4 launch, earlier this week. Apparently, there was some discussion going on about iOS 4.0.1 update in Apple Technical Support Forums which was later removed for unknown reasons.
Readers report that Apple’s tech support forums originally confirmed that a iOS 4.0.1 software fix addressing the issue would ship early next week (as early as Monday), before the comments were subsequently taken down along with all the other related discussion about the matter.
The fix is expected to address a issue in iOS 4 related to radio frequency calibration of the baseband. Readers who saw the original forum discussions say that the issue is believed to occur when switching frequencies; because the lag is allegedly not calibrated correctly, it results in the device reporting "no service" rather than switching to the frequency with the best signal to noise ratio.
Yesterday, Steve Jobs responded to the issue via email saying, ““Just avoid holding it in that way”. Engadget had a great crack on it which you can see it here.
iOS 4.0.1 could be out as early as this coming Monday. Stay tuned for more development on this! [via AppleInsider]

My guess is that this isn't an accident or something. Pretty sure apple released it just so they can see what unlock or jailbreak method with counter it, than immediately have “reception issues” that came with the new os. Now let's wait acouple more months for a new jailbreak or unlock everybody

The signal issue on the iPhone 4 is hardware related, not software. It occurs from shorting the left and bottom antenna, a software update will not fix this.

i feel as though one of these many bugs is to force us to upgrade and allow them to patch another exploit. come on, they spend so much money and months testing these.

Well this time i will not ugrade to 4.0.1 until i am sure there is a proper jailbreak for ipod touch 2g mc models. Considering i made that mistake when the 4.0 came out. Anyway, i bet apple is just being mean! Noticing all the jailbreaks trying to develop. So i will wait for a jailbreak before i do ANYTHING

so basically the iphone 4 is still unlock able until it is jail broken and that won't happen till the iso 4.1 is released which then would result in the release of the jailbreaking tool which allows us to unlock tthe ipone the question is when ?
