Xtreme Labs and Fixmo have come up with the BlackBerry Death Grip app which lets you test how well your BlackBerry reacts when you hold it. A harmless bit of fun, but I am still struggling to reduce the bars on my device no matter what I do.
From BlackBerryCool- “Antennagate has been a public relations nightmare for Apple and in an attempt to deflect the pressure, Steve Jobs claimed the Bold 9700 has antenna issues as well Xtreme Labs let us know that that they have made an app that might prove or disprove the claim. The Antenna Meter application auto-samples your BlackBerry’s antenna signal strength once every second. The app lets you experiment with different ‘death grips’ and submit your results if you noticed an increase or decrease in antenna reception…”
Tried several times.
Once it sent the signal bar to 7 bars , that confused me.
Another time after holding in death grip mode, when I released a laser shot from my BB and destroyed my chocolate bar resting on the coffee table .
