Actually Brightstar is not the one doing the service. Phones being serviced under Brightstar are sent to PhoneWorx which is a 3rd party company to service. How bad? Dust under screen, smudges under screen etc but these all depends on luck coz apparently they have many technicians and depends on which technician yours is being handled by, your luck may be different. The first time i sent mine in under warranty to replace the faulty earpiece was fine, even completed overnight. The 2nd time i sent for service which i pay for due to cracked screen, was crap. You can check a few pages back on my complaints. Don't want to repeat myself again. But in the end they managed to fix my problem at least.

Btw, the Defy is slow due to the stock ROM, flash it to something else and the magic happens! And you said you got bad experience with the dealer, mind sharing? I bought my Defy from him plus after that i bought a Huawei X5 which i returned and exchanged for a brand new set 3 days later coz i suspected it was faulty(which i later found out isn't)

And i see you plan to send yours to warranty. Well, since its a hardware issue, you can go there and specially request to meet the technician and request him to just fix the screen without touching the software bit. Thats what i did when i sent mine for warranty due to the earlier batch having faulty earpieces. I went there, request the counter girl to let me talk to the tech then tell him the situation. He said no problem and can close one eye and just do the warranty. At least thats what happened to me. The phone was completely reflashed before i sent it in and i didn't even bother backing up lol. But still its better if you do since shit happens, like the 2nd time i sent for warranty, once they fix the screen, they discovered they somehow couldn't boot the phone due to unknown reasons and just proceeded in flashing a brand new rom for me doh.gif

Thank God Google backs up my contacts automagically else someone will be screwed hard.

went to service center yesterday, holy mother... i keep thinking my office is the most messy. they don't even have motorola, brightstar or service center sign, only "handphone repair shop" sign, that you can see all over pertama, with ugly grill using solex to lock. arrived at 9:15am, apparently they are the only service center to start at 10am. no counter, only 2 writing tables, and one girl damn busy arranging stuffs that i have to wait solid 10 minutes for her. then when i start showing her my phone, she got distracted due to stuff that she still need to do.

cannot repair due to CNY and she advise me to send in after 30th. cannot wait and go buy new phone. i'm selling it on ebay now.

call sunway pyramid number, nobody pick up, call mobile number in imcc website, he gave me the guy's mobile. then call and ask, said will get back to me. after 8 hours no news, call again and ask how long will he take just to ask his HQ whether got stock or not. so this time he sms me in 5 minutes will send it the next day. come day after tomorrow, got Defy battery instead of Defy+ battery, even tell him specifically "saya mau itu 1700ma punya, bukan defy punya" when i pay him.

now motorola (beside lg and sony) is in my blacklist. come on lah, at least ask those people at phoneworx to tidy up their office lah.

so far, my phone nearly 1 year but still working like a charm. i think once i have ICS on it, i'm super happy. Even if i need to use the current MIUI for the rest of the phone life, I have no problem as well.

for me, buying Android phones means buying the best hardware i can afford, and flash a custom ROM. built quality is the most important factor to me, that's why the RAZR is such a nice phone, except too big. i prefer Defy size, or max 4" lah

Hey guys my dad's defy+ is running on gingerbread 2.3.5, stock Rom and everything.
My prob is that it always begs to enable data connection (two red arrows on the notification bar)

How can I disable that notification?
I know how to turn 3g off, but how do I make it stop asking to enable back?
