i guess i'll have to test the units thoroughly at the digi centre..

i went to Menara Maxis yesterday and got my phone checked. the buggy home button is working 7 out of 10 times and sometimes 3 out of 10 times, depending on its mood.

i was told to go back and get a replacement set tomorrow. saw my friend's replacement/refurbished set, looks like a new one. got my phone on the 1st day of launch last year, guess i'm fine with getting a 'new' set.

I understand that we will get a 1-to-1 replace. So before sending in, did you guys backup your phone and delete everything (back to default) you saved in the phone?

yeah i'd backup and restore the phone as new phone

Make sure you backup all your data, sync all your apps that you purchased through the Appstore via iTunes and once you receive your "new" iPhone, restore the backup to the new set.

ok latest update. i went to Menara Maxis today. apparently my warranty's 'serial number' is not registered in their system YET after i got the phone on the 1st day of the launch. it'll take them 24-48 hours to get that done then only i will get my replacement set. were in a good mood today, didn't make a big hu-ha. now i regret. will be filling up their Contact Us form right after i submit this. bah

I used the "Activator" and I think I will less using my SLEEP and HOME button!

Great app ever!

But, is there any way to unlock the screen wihtout pressing any buttons when LOCK SCREEN is not visible?

I think the only way to invoke iPhone from sleep is to touch a hardware button. My guess is the touch screen is completely dead when sleep. So I don't think Activator can do that.

finally got the call from digi gardens to get my replacement on wednesday

maybe there are a tweak that use proximity sensor.

finally got it after calling them twice a day since Wednesday.
everything works fine now. loving my 'new' set. activated multi gesture to avoid pressing the home button.
maxis users, just go get a replacement set, it looks brand new irregardless if it's refurb set or not.
cheers!

still waiting for mine... sigh

Last time i have this issue too on my ip4.

got mine replaced after waiting for 1 hour on the spot.

and my gf have the same issue too.

she got her phone replaced with new 1 on the spot as well at MAXIS KLCC.

how about digi guys? how long have to wait? i got mine on the 2nd day of launching and its getting pretty bad recently, i think its time to claim a new set now...

Digi depends on stock availability bro. If they have the stock you can get fast. One of my customers got replacement within a day.

yeah depends on stock availability, as well as the queue for it.

blah i can live with mine, been a long long time since i used home button

err..I think my button going to kong oledi

I installed those fancy software to minimize use of the Home button but no use, the button didn't improve much even after less pressing it

Push many times also wont respond...but once a while seems OK...

Just a few months old..

Sad

dey, just becos u pressed it less, it ain't gonna heal itself man.... hahahaha

either stop depending on the button, or get it fixed/claim warranty

just claim from MAXIS/DIGI center la guys dont need to be worry. This is a very common issue that they receive few hundred cases a day. They will definitely responsible for it no worries.

err..I got mine in lucky draw...but the box got show maxis card...waitlah..see how it goes...now I press 10 times, 10 times works......then next day, doesn't work, then works...funnylah
