The new iPhone 4G is again on the front page. Another bug of the iPhone 4G has been found. Another problem with the iPhone 4G in April, although this is not Apple’s fault. The U.S. operator AT & T has acknowledged a problem in their software that prevents the subscriber to send data at normal speed, especially the heavy, such as videos and photographs of the iPhone 4G.

One advantage of the iPhone 4G in April was just the speed of sending data at a speed ten times higher than previous models. AT & T, however, has blamed Alcatel supplying equipment to the telephone, and has announced they are working on the bug, which applies only to purchasers of Apple’s new phone subscribers to AT & T, 2 % of total, explained company spokesman.
The mobile operator AT & T and the telecom equipment maker Alcatel-Lucent have discovered a software defect causing a loss of speed when transmitting data from an iPhone 4G or some four laptops. AT & T announced Wednesday that the default, Alcatel-Lucent is working to resolve, affects less than 2% of its customers wireless service, the iPhone 4G being the only smartphone using the disputed technology.
This bug is a new source of embarrassment for AT & T, the exclusive distributor of the iPhone 4G in the U.S., after problems on the system command line text. Last week, Apple, the manufacturer of the iPhone 4G, had acknowledged that its fourth version in some cases exaggerated the strength of the received signal. Mark Siegel, a spokesman for AT & T, said the latest problem affected only when the devices using a technology transfer data at high speeds, called HSUPA 3G, and what the markets AT & T network dependent designed by Alcatel-Lucent.
If data transfer is still running, its speed is however limited to 384 kilobytes per second, while the potential capacity of the iPhone 4G device is 5.67 gigabytes per second, said Mark Siegel. HSUPA is also used by many modems laptops sold by AT & T. A spokeswoman for Alcatel-Lucent said the group hoped to resolve the iPhone 4G problem quickly but did not offer any time. According to Mary Ward, the bug appeared after the launch of the iPhone 4G due to the sharp increase of the transmitted data. The iPhone 4G device itself is not involved, and other operator AT & T is not affected, she added.
