sure... i think i won't replace the phone just yet. wait for them to have more stocks then only go change to reduce the waiting time. Since they told me after you get a replacement phone. For the replacement phone warranty, it will starts counting down once you activate it, so you get another 1 year.

actually where you bought the iPhone?and what is the problem on you iPhone? confused.gif

owhhh. so in what condition will they replace with complete new set? im thinking of calling the apple support centre on Monday, hear what they have to say and maybe then will try to go to another service centre besides machine KLCC. trying out my luck if another SC can find any solution.

depend on where you bought your phone,just go back ask them whether can change a new set for you or not if your iPhone have problem within few days,but this is depend because Malaysia consumers protect law is weak.

if you buy the phone from apple online store and you find out any problem for you phone,you can call apple and ask them whether can change a new set for you or not,Apple online store has a policy call DOA,it can change a new set for you within 10 days count from invoice date.But all is depend on what is your phone's problem.

Thanks for the tips on the video.

The battery didnt drop at all overnight for 9 hours of standby :thumbsup:

Just to confirm, when we miss a notification for incoming email or messages (away from phone), the phone will not blink right as there is no LED notification.

May I know which video?

I just encountered a very weird problem.
I want to send a voice message via Whatsapp but no sound was recorded. Cant hear anything.
Try in iMessage - ok can hear but very faint.
But Siri works fine and my Voice Translator works also.
Open my Voice Memo and sure enough its recording but no sound was recorded.
Thought something wrong with my mic at first but since some apps seems to work but not others, maybe its not the microphone.

At last figure out that its my aluminum bumper. Its meant to be for iPhone 6+ and its blocking some of the holes at the bottom. Weird that Siri, iMessage and Translator works but not Voice Memo and Whatsapp
*
look like you didn't enable the mic for WhatsApp or you disable it.

Update news from apple support***

Good news, they are going to replace my phone for a brand new unit.

Waiting time is around 3-4 weeks as they need to order a new one.

So while waiting they will let me used the device first until my new unit arrive smile.gif

So happy with their customer support and after sales service even tho i didn't purchase from apple website directly.
*
good to you rclxms.gif
you call 1800-80-6419 ?
3-4 weeks is quite strange
the normal exchange procedure is like the user Criollo,ask dhl/ups collect it and send a new unit after that.
I think they still have the stock in their warehouse for exchange.

If you believe that your product is DOA, please call AppleCare Technical Support on 1800-80-6419 within 10 calendar days of the invoice date. AppleCare Technical Support will determine whether the product is DOA and offer you the following options:

so i must send the unit for examination by today for replacement? *hissing problem

where u purchase your iPhone?just call the apple Malaysia to ask,I think it will faster.
Actually you also go to the service center to check,they also will change for you.

The different just whether they change whole unit with the box or just change the phone body to you only.
If only the phone body,mean it is claim warranty,you 99.99% get a refurbished unit. rclxms.gif

Update: Gemfive. com will only be receiving new stock of iphones after mid of next month. Reason being, all of the stock in Malaysia has been taken up and they have to wait for the new release shipment stock by Apple which is tentatively promised after mid of next month.

Some of the Premium retailers / telco's may still have limited stock as the stock they have is from Malaysia Distributor "Brighstar" prior to iphone launch and Brighstar only releases this stock bit by bit mainly to telco's.

If you're lucky, you may get your hands to the current stock availability (while stock lasts) but again you may experience some issues with your phone (eg.hissgate) and if you complain to Apple within 10 days from your invoice date and if you're lucky, you will get a new set and that also will take about 3-4 weeks for the new phone to be made available to you.

My suggestion to those waiting to get the new iphone 7 would be order from Apple store straight as you get the latest production week of stock (fresh from the owen  cool2.gif ) and you may not encounter all this teething issues reported as per the earlier batch like hissgate etc.
*
I think it depend on luck too. A forum user here get a new week 41's unit also have hissgate problem.

Maxis. Apple Malaysia requested me to bring the unit to service centre.

What is your recommendation?
*
then if you really free,then u can bring it to the service centre and ask whether can change a whole new unit for you or not.
change a unit confirm ok for service centre ,the different only whether is change whole new unit with box or just change phone body only.
My opion is if they can give you a whole new unit with box, then only proceed.
(how to know whether is new unit? you new phone imei will match the box's imei sticker they change to you.Ask them about this before proceed)

If only change phone body,for me I will not change it.
No point for me to change my new iPhone to a refurbished unit.
Why not just use it first, then only change it by claim warranty later maybe after half year or 10 months later.When the issue really solve by Apple.
Now you change it,who can guarantee you the replacement unit don't have hissing sound?
The hissing sound only can hear when you take the phone apple logo's side near to your ear,when you call people or answer people's call can hear hissing sound,then it is a big problem.
For me, it is not a big problem since it is huge amount unit in overseas have same problem. thumbup.gif

I don't think there're really many problems.

If you're talking about the Hissing, while i do agree some members have serious hissing issue, most are just over-reacting towards this issue as I own a iPhone 5S myself, I can hear the so called "hiss" too while recording so I doubt its an issue.

Regarding the yellowish screen, Apple has already stated that iPhone 7 will have a warmer screen display colour compared to other phones because of the wide gamut display and people has been raising about this "yellow" screen issue since the days of iPhone 5.

totally agree with you rclxms.gif

i think its safe to say 99% of our phones have the hiss? because somebody from apple california will be calling me tomorrow regarding this hiss issue. i like to tell him how many of us are suffering from the hiss.

but imho i dont think the hiss really affects anything. i tried recording in a quiet room (not 100% but 90% maybe). I tried with iphone 6+, iphone 5, and the iphone 7+. all sounds the same.

when the video camera is on, the hiss seems to disappear anyway
*
actually this not a big problem as long as it not become bomb rclxms.gif ,the only problem is some of the users really lucky get a perfect iPhone without hiss sound,some of the users with hissgate problem will be unhappy or heart unbalance and keep complain about that to get a perfect iPhone. thumbup.gif
