Infineon chips could be to blame for iPhone 3G woes


I've been doing more research today on the iPhone dropped call and data issue I've been having since upgrading my original iPhone.

Looks like the Infineon Chip that Apple used is being blamed for causing problems in 2-3% of iPhone traffic. Now, I'm not sure if that means 2-3% of iPhones, or 2-3% of calls. I know for a fact that I drop several calls everyday, whereas before I dropped none.

It seems that the Infineon Chip is not properly sensing the 3G signal strength, and is causing major handoff issues between 3G and Edge. I hope Apple can fix this in software, but I would imagine that a hardware fix would be a better solution.
