iPhone 3G with Body Guardz

Have my iphone 3G wrapped with Body Guardz. Quite badly done, and worst, the adhesive at the side of body Guardz is sticky and attracts furs and dust, which I was not able to avoid. However, it does serve its function to protect the phone well.

I have also noticed that after wrapping up the iphone, I was not able to fully charge the phone when the weather is hot. 

I am using the iphone 3G almost every other minute, and something charging up to 4 times in a day as the battery goes off pretty fast.

Battery life is not due to the design of iphone, but rather my ISP, Celcom, whose 3G signal going limbo every now and then. This forces the iphone to keep scanning and re-attach to 3G when 3G signal dropped and come back at random, but pretty frequent both at my work place and at home.

I can opt to switch off 3G when not in use, but my problem is that I need to access to my mail box at certain intervals. Some users suggested that downloading mails are pretty fast even with EDGE network.

My problem with Celcom is: I do not sense any EDGE signal around my work place and my home. Yes, there are some spots, like PJ SS16, SS14 where I can get EDGE if 3G not available.

So if I do not get 3G or EDGE, the bigger problem comes: When iphone is picking up mails using GPRS, it is slow, and it will bar all my incoming SMSs and calls. This is a serious problem, not from Apple, but from my ISP Celcom who are not able to provide a stable 3G network, or atleast to have EDGE coverage at 3G blind spots.

Next problem. My 3G is 3.6Mbps unlimited data plan. I can only get to the max of approx. 2Mbps, and only in the middle of the night, around 4am to about 5am. After that, it falls back to 384Kbps or lesser. Sometime it is even slower than GPRS, Serious!!

I will seek clarification from Celcom, after their network upgrade ended 22 Feb 09. If the speed is not even up to 1/3 of the advertised speed, then Celcom is cheating me.
