QUOTE(frozzbyte @ Jan 11 2010, 11:01 PM) Actually there's a way but it requires you to jailbreak and install 3rd party app. The app is iRealSMS and it cost some $$$. You can go and check here for more details. For me, I prefer biteSMS as it resembles the stock SMS app but with added features. Hi frozz. But he was just asking to change the message format in the stock sms. Anyway, if one is willing to fork out the moolah, there are usually alternatives.

QUOTE(johnjenin @ Jan 14 2010, 04:05 PM) i have iphone 3g bought from maxis and lost my warranty card. i have all the details of my phone purchase such as date, sirim approval number, model no, serial no, hardware no. the problem is maxis did not want to accept my phone for warranty purposes because they said they can only trace the iphone based on the phone number register with the iphone. which is totally unacceptable because they still can search using imei and serial number which is unique for every iphone. anyone have similar experience with me? care to share some advice? my iphone restart by itself and give me blank black and sometimes white screen. i tried to restore lot of times but its failed and the apple logo never come up on the phone.  On the issue of warranty, are you the original owner? If you are, then even without the service card, there shouldn't be any problem. But if you are not, then the least you have to have is the original owner's phone no. for them to verify. Apart from the foregoing, you just have to know your rights and how to demand that you be accorded your consumer rights.

QUOTE(johnjenin @ Jan 14 2010, 06:51 PM) i know the owner. the problem is the maxis agent might register my phone under different number to take advantages for 500mb from maxis for hotlink user at that time. i even can provide maxis the owner phone number, ic number and etc... but maxis just dont want to acknowledge it... sigh... I have posted before, you being able to submit a smooth warranty claim depends much on the personnel who attends to you. So, echoing Hanxz, go try another Maxis centre.

Before doing anything first, do a full restore and see if it alleviates your problem.

But by doing that, your iPhone can be accessed to more apps and programs. This post has been edited by PeeEl: Jan 15 2010, 02:21 PM

Added on January 16, 2010, 10:14 pmi need to read for 3-4x to understand wat u wrote .. no wonder those spm-level staff not understand ur explanation... in order for u to get 500mb(which is no-enuf-to use at all bandwidth) , u need to buy the iphone from maxis under ur phone no. . which mean , only the 1st owner is entitled for that . this is because the iphone was registered under his/her phone no. u got no way to get the free 500mb , other than u get the 1st owner simcard ... its about the simcard problems ... i donno wat u wanna trying to tell us for the bold part ....

QUOTE(ZhaoYun @ Jan 19 2010, 12:34 PM) 1st year warranty with Maxis, 2nd and 3rd year (if you buy applecare) are from Apple Malaysia. The subject of Applecare Warranty for iPhone has been broached before but no one has confirmed that it is available in Malaysia. Could you confirm that it is really available here and if so, where can it be acquired? The answer would benefit the forummers here who are interested in the same. Thanks.

QUOTE(cic.lemur @ Jan 26 2010, 04:53 PM) Hi, anyone knows the going rate for an iPhone 3GS 32GB, bought from maxis without plan, around 6 months old, not jailbroken? Thinking about jumping ship to Nexus One Which means you are selling it?! In that case, I'll take it off your hands at RM1.5k. Serously, to get a feel, please check out the GS here and you would know what is an adequate price.

QUOTE(hianboy @ Feb 10 2010, 06:15 PM) erm...anyone here faced a problem which fail to answering a incoming call? is seems like the calls hang up after i Slide to Answer, it has happened quite a while. And also the calls (incoming or outgoing) sometime will dropped out by it self after few seconds.... I can only speak for Maxis users presently as I am using their services. Yes, what you mentioned are happening quite rampantly and I believe it is due to their 'connections'. All those I know using iPhones and even not, are experiencing that.

QUOTE(5w33 @ Feb 11 2010, 03:02 AM) Maxis user here, Singtel set 3.1.3, no call dropping for me. I don't think it is the unit that is causing the dropped calls. It could be that you are usually in areas where the signals are strong and thus no dropped calls.

QUOTE(aKatoRA @ Feb 11 2010, 07:24 PM) Dear sifus, Can someone tell me how to solve the prob? Is it i can do something to get back my normal screen? I played with my iphone just normal, suddenly got 1 vertical green line appear on the middle of the screen, any1 can help? It's a green neon vertical line  This sounds like a hardware problem. Try rebooting your iPhone. If the line does not go away, restore your phone. If that does not help as well, send in for a warranty claim. If it is no longer under warranty, look up Hanxz at GS who may be able to help you.

QUOTE(aKatoRA @ Feb 11 2010, 07:34 PM) I just used it today  . How long for the restoration? Restore from itunes? Will show you the way but I am not in the habit of spoon-feeding. Therefore, sine you are a new user, suggest you read the threads especially the pinned ones here to learn more about your newly acquired gadget. And yes, you restore as new in iTunes but remember to back up your data first. Try, as stated earlier, to reboot your phone first to see if that helps. Lastly I got this funny feeling that you have been duped by the seller. Perhaps you should seek recourse from him.....

QUOTE(nky_kevin @ Feb 27 2010, 11:31 PM) Thanks for the reply. If I got an iPhone by myself, can I use my existing hotlink prepaid sim card straight to apply for its service? I'm not a fanboy of iPhone, more to Blackberry. I'm currently using Hotlink for BB also. I can use *100# to subscribe for the BIS. Just wondering is iPhone steps of subscribing the service is the same. Thanks  Yes, you can use your existing Hotlink sim. Just check with Maxis what data packages they have available. All you need to do with the iPhone is subscribe to the data services/package you select and you are good to go.
