QUOTE(jayko @ Apr 7 2018, 11:07 AM) Yup. Gonna get from taobao when I m shenzhen next month or so. But taobao very tricky. Need to filter out all those scammer that replacing original part with 3rd party. So better becareful. Not advisable for pipur who are not hw savvy. True, ha ha. I’d rather get a local used set over here to be honest   |

QUOTE(jayko @ Apr 8 2018, 02:52 AM) Ok. Here is the thing with taobao. You can buy cheaper US set there. Just that you need to use sim unlock tiny PCB attached to your original nano sim. Then you can fooling the phone thinking the phone is actually still using US telco network. Yeah, we do have US sets here in Malaysia with the turbo sim as well. But if it’s significantly cheaper in China then why not... just make sure don’t kena con with counterfeit units This type of phone is easily cheaper by few hundred USD. And also this phone condition is quite good. Some are even brand new. This is a grey area where US ppl sign up the phone with contract but sold the phone the off to get the cash. And this phone is being sold to China for profits. So you can also go to eBay to find sim unlock seller to officially unlock this phone so that you don't have to rely on that sim unlock PCB anymore.  |

QUOTE(jayko @ Apr 8 2018, 10:51 AM) Won't, they is software to install to check all the hw part it is original. It is easy to tell. Hahahahaha. Taobao got many sim PCB to choose. Turbo is just one of them. Haha. If the seller replaced the part. Can reject and ask for refund. If the seller stated no refund within the first few days. For obvious reasons you won't be buying from him. Too fishy. Haha, too much trouble for me Let us know when you’ve gotten your unit! |

QUOTE(WindChaseR @ May 7 2018, 11:11 AM) Ohh im sorry, i think it's Space grey, asking on behalf of ppl. Retail Price is 2099, I would say 200-300 off is reasonable for a second hand one even though if it’s only few days old.If 32gb Space grey? How much can it be to resell? Thanks.

QUOTE(abubin @ May 7 2018, 04:35 PM) Nope. It cost around USD1.61. Thumbs up for the donation to charity bit https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Genuine-New...iceBeautifyAB=0 From Lazada: RM18. https://www.lazada.com.my/products/cciphone...fmW0D5&search=1 I don't know how much they charge outside for the repair. If you trust me, I can change the parts for you for RM50. I am doing phone repairs as hobby. 50% of the money will be used for buying parts (need to buy proper heat gun) and 50% will be donated to charity. Once I have all the parts I need, all the money will be donated to charity. PM me if you are interested.  |

QUOTE(jayko @ Jun 5 2018, 10:47 PM) one that is never connect to iCloud server. Meaning brand new logic board, there are a lot grey market of this phones most likely US set btw I already gotten my iPhone 6s Plus 64gb logic board. Now using iPhone to reply. Hahaha so far so good man. It is 10.3.3 and keeping it this way as I prefer jb phone Ahhh OK, I thought that's the first thing Apple does when you switch on your new iPhone - require you to create an Apple ID or sign in to yours. Anyways. 10.3.3 is a good release - the last stable one before the atrocious iOS 11 |

QUOTE(jayko @ Jun 6 2018, 08:54 AM) You are correct. If you don't connect Apple ID to apple it won't let u use the iPhone. Another possibility is that the board may not be new. Is just that ppl use new imei burn into the nand flash. So apple see this new imei not in their database so it will require to activate first Ya, but not till the next iPhone launches. Plan to sell off my current one before warranty runs out Guess you are looking forward to 12. But I m sticking with 10.3.3 coz my screen is BoE not original. I don't know want any horror story happens to me after my upgrade to 12. iPhone 8 already got ppl reported touch function disable when they replace with non original screen in iOS 11. But apple issue newer patch to make it not choosy with non original screen.  |

QUOTE(jayko @ Jun 6 2018, 10:37 PM) I see hope you enjoy the newer model in the meantime r u switching to android after u sell off your current phone? The only problem that bother me with iOS is that it don't allow sending file outside of iPhone easily and also can't use wifi hotspots but instead can only Bluetooth hotspots Yup, usually I will use an Android phone when I’m between iPhones. What do you mean when you say you can’t use WiFi hotspots? I use it all the time and it’s fine. |

QUOTE(jayko @ Jun 7 2018, 09:44 AM) when i wanna use iphone as hotspot, it only allow me to connect another phone through bluetooth to iphone or connect another pc through usb cable to iphone as hotspot, i cant use wireless as hotspot in iphone, is this normal? No, I don't think that's normal. I use my phone as a WiFi hotspot all of the time, without cables or bluetooth. Maybe get it checked?QUOTE(jayko @ Jun 7 2018, 09:44 AM) btw, how do i send picture out from iphone? it seems i attached my picture using email, but the picture is corrupted it happened many times. any ideas how to fix it? Sending pictures/files in iOS is a pain, I'll be the very first to admit that. Firstly, make sure you checked that your image is in the normal format (JPEG, PNG) and not in Apple's new HEIC format which was introduced in iOS 11. What I normally do is I go to the gallery, select the photo/photos I want to email, select share and then send via email. Usually it works.thanks, first time iphone user here. |

QUOTE(flyt0thesky @ Jun 12 2018, 08:03 PM) Is it a good bargain to buy a new iPhone 6s plus now? I saw many places selling for around 1.9k, itworld selling with 2yrs warranty. But the only concern is the phone ady came out for around 3yrs. With this price ady can get last year Android flagship or latest android mid range. What u all think about this? Should I get the 6s plus or newer Android? Will the hardware too outdated for now or at least coming 2yrs? The iPhone 6 Plus is still being supported by Apple for iOS 11, in fact they have promised to make the 6 Plus perform even better with iOS 12 that will be released in September. So if that is their support level for the 6 Plus, I'm guessing there shouldn't be much problems for the 6S Plus which has twice the amount of RAM. That said. for 1.9k, you'd be getting a model that is 3 years old (released in 2015) and has only 32GB of non-expendable storage, which may or may not be sufficient. And like you said, 1.9k gets you a pretty good selection in the Android field - not just midrange, you can get a Mate 10 at that price. So if the ecosystem doesn't matter to you, then I honestly cannot recommend the 6S Plus over the flagship Androids you can get at the same price. But if you prefer iOS over Android, then yes, the 6S Plus could still be a good buy. This post has been edited by attw: Jun 12 2018, 09:32 PM |
