Well folks, day 2 of commutes with the single layer of copper tape and no dropouts.
Who knows. Maybe there are other factors in play - all I know is that this seems to be working.
This is what I bought: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01I1XNY1E
I have not tried any other brands, I am not an engineer. All I did was google for EMI shielding tape, watched a few videos about this tape being used in guitars, and tried it. Before tape, the Oppo dropped out every day in the exact same spots on my commute. With tape, it's not happening.
iPhone 7 plus, latest OS, using the Oppo short lightning cable with the Oppo attached to the back of my phone. My phone case is the same 0.3mm plastic eBay case, which had remained a constant. I don't notice any drop in signal since the Oppo-with-tape does not block the phones antennas any more than it did before.
I hope this helps someone out there.
Apologies if you've already answered this, but were you streaming music or listening to music already on the phone?
