Send to repair or put home button sticker.

Home button sticker can only do prevention. When you gotten the problem, its too late to apply home button sticker.

iphone 4 user here. my speakers are not working. works fine with headphones, calling is okay too. i dont think this is the 'iphone thinking it's plugged into a headphone' problem because when i change the volume, it said "ringer"

i'll be in KL 4-7dec later n i hope to get a replacement from maxis klcc. but im not sure if they still can replace in ~2hrs or not. if they cant, can you fix it quickly? u can PM me the charge
*
Speaker you are referring to loud speaker? Play apps and etc no sound as well? or just during calls? I heard Maxis KLCC can replace a new one for ya within hours. Normally 3rd party technicians are charging in between 100-200.

My screen got scratch...is it adviseable to change new screen..or it will be too expensive better get new phone..mine is 3 g

Scratches are normal, I would not replace the screen if just that minor problem. But all depending on yourself. Could not answer on behalf lol.
Neway, if you are reluctant to change home flex to fix unresponsive problem; you can always download activator from Cydia as mentioned by Mackiddo.

My 3G on Celcom C9.1 firmware 05.15.04 on version 4.2.1 (8C148), the phone frequently encounter NO SIGNAL. I realised this after switching from Maxis. Is there any remedy besides switching to Maxis? Also the phones seems to be lagging though i have another 10Gb space available....

Have you try downgrading your iPhone back to IOS3.1.3? Tested with other sim card except the above?

what is the reasonable price to repair home button for iphone 3GS?
rm40? rm200?
its good to repair or replace?
*
Price of this service varies. Price ranging from 60-180 depending you seek service from which source. It's definitely replacing it, no way to repair it. Even you repair it, it could not last long; for a short period yes.

i fully understand it wont last long. just need to know the price and how did they do it.

U gonna need to replace the flex underneath the home button.. Refer to post 4 on how the flex looks like.. U cant repair the used flex because the spring isnt that good anymore due to usage..

The repairman will dismantle ur iphone front assembly.. Seperating the digitizer and lcd.. Then only they gonna be able to change the flex.. Price as mentioned before its between rm60 to rm180 depending where u get it fixed.

Is your problem same as youtube's iPhone prob? If yes, you need to change the digitizer. Digitizer is included touch panel + glass. Dont just buy glass.

DIY yourself is definitely cheaper if you were to seek service from outside. An estimation cost ranging from 70- 150 depending on where you get it fixed.

Your problem is similar to thirdgun. Do not separate the touch panel yet ! As it may affect LCD. Post a picture of your iPhone is good to lead.

It's hard to predict. Dead spot or strips happens by itself or human fault (dropped or water damaged). You are unluckily where you need to change the whole touch panel even thou no visible crack.

yes but i dropped it on a carpet floor and i was using cleave bumper and it wasn't so high. so i think it's not because of that....  hmm.gif

Problem occurs after dropping? Have you try restoring to factory setting? If still not able to fix it, recommend you to send over to warranty if still available.

On the other side, prepare for a backup plan to DIY or send for repair if warranty not longer available. Possible cause is the speaker enclosure.

Its definitely a wise move to send in for warranty. Go to 3rd party repairman IF only your warranty is over.
