Actually this 2 places where they say if you send it over it will only take a week to get it back. if you send at other Sony Center it will take more than 2 weeks or more.

Just got mine back testing the battery performance for now.

Just in case people need more proof that the replacement is free.
Check the receipt here biggrin.gif

Edit: The battery so far I've tested in my 3 hours session with it is at 70% left. Pretty good, I wonder if they upgraded the battery or something shocking.gif

Ok today my little sister went to Sony Center Lowyat to get my out of warranty WFXM4 replaced. The Lowyat spokesperson said they will replace it for free with a new one no problem. But they advice to go to Lalaport or The Curve to get it replaced, if you want to get it faster.

I went to replaced mine at the curve and it takes around 1 week for me to get my replacement unit. As long as it is FOC then I guess worth the wait.

The battery life is wayyyy better now with the newer unit, I feel it is even better than the condition when I bought new...probably battery has been upgraded. By the way the new replacement unit also come with 3 months warranty

Battery is good, the issue is the drain is still uneven for me, twice now after charging.. the drain is only even on the first one when it came from Sony.

For first charge from Sony it seems to last longer. But actually not really if you put in the charging case it might not be 100%. It's trying to propagate with the charging case in terms of battery percentage. After you charge a few time, and put it in and out of the case. The battery indicator should be back to normal.

I've also asked Sony technician if those who has similar issue returned back to them after they fixed it. So far they say there isn't yet, try to monitor for a month they say, if for some reason it becomes the same, came back to them.

I'm having same battery drains issue for my earbud and got another 3 months warranty left. Can I go to any Sony Centre at my place to get it replaced or do I need to go to specifically Sony Service Centre? Just curious whether I can claim the warranty at normal Sony Centre since I bought it online.

If you have registered your product warranty at https://web.sony-asia.com/my/sign-in/ then it should be fine i think.

Suggest to just go and fix it as soon as you can. I don't think they will offer it for free for a long time one. Mine also expired back in March, no such issue.

My advice is to never update again. That is what i'm going to do at least.
Don't think there is any worth while update anymore at this point.

But if you are feeling adventurous, since you still have your extended warranty, you could try it out.
If anything still got a few months to get it all fixed again. Not worth my time imo.
