Hi there,

I'm sure some of you heard of this problem before regarding the 3GS. Some say it is due to heat, some say it's due to covers and some say it is the combination of both.

Anyway, my White 32GB 3GS seems to have a slight discoloration after using TomTom for an extended period cry.gif

I can't confirm whether the discoloration is actually some sort of stain from my cover.
I can only confirm if I peel off the protective layer (something like Invisible Shield), but I'm not gonna do that...

anyone else experienced this?

@poyol,
As mentioned, u don't know if it's actual discoloration until you peel off your shield and if that is really the case; go get urself a new unit.

So if it's really discolored.. I can claim new unit from Maxis?
Mine is a Maxis set.

I've got a question! To whic I can't find a definite answer to (yet)

iPhone Generation : 32GB 3GS
Unlocked? (or Part Number): Yes (Maxis)
Current Firmware : 3.1.2
Current network: Maxis
iTunes Version : 8.2
PC/MAC : PC
Jailbreaking software : blackra1n
Problem Encountered : I've used my 3GS for only 5-days and according to the Usage counter, I've DOWNLOADED 1.3GB worth of data! This is impossible as I'm very sure I've not been downloading using 3G THAT much. So my question is... does the Usage counter take into account the number of data downloaded to the phone via Wi-Fi? I use Wi-Fi whenever I'm home or in the office.
Steps Taken So Far : google google google
Screenshot of Problem(if applicable) : -
Other Information/Remarks :

Anyone kena this before?

I was testing TomTom out the other day, and after like 20mins of non-stop usage.. I noticed the back of my phone developed some sort of dark rectangular outline. It's very faint but also very similar to the pics i've seen of supposedly "overheated" iPhone 3GS'.

Anyone experienced this before? cry.gif

Yupp..similar to that..but my mark is very very feint...not that obvious...

FYI my iPhone's back is protected by an SGP shield, and I had a silicone cover on as well during that time.
I guess the silicone cover must've been the culprit...trapping all the heat in.
