So much freaking prob, dah pay money to buy, need go around hunting.. some even need queue as early as 4am in the morning but buying defect items.

but maxis claiming this is not defect (for my case of dimmer display colour)
Its as good as u go buy a white car, but they gave u beige colour car..

Max - the solution Maxis offer me is  - Hand over the problem set to them , and they will claim 1 unit of phone from Apple , which take 1 - 2 weeks time  . You dont have to give them the box , and Apple will check and replace 1 unit (Phone only） which will have diff serial # and imei number with the box u are holding.

I've question maxis  -
- Why cant Apple exchange with a fullbox set with matching IMEI on box and phone . (Maxis replied  - This is Apple policy and procedure)
- Why cant Maxis just open and change me a set with problem free phone  and themself go deal with the RMA process within Maxis and Apple (Maxis replied - they are just a middle man getting stock from apple , this is Maxis policy and procedure)
- Why they wan me as a consumer to suffering all this RMA process (Maxis replied - This is the only solution they can give me)

I told maxis , In future , If I plan to sell off the phone , Buyer will suspect my phone will be either AP set or stolen set due to the box IMEI diff from phone

I've rejected Maxis offer above also  due to  - I'm worry to get a refurbish unit from Maxis / Apple - This is just 2 my cent .

If I not mistaken , Apple practice is to provide refurbish set for  1 to 1 exchange customer . Correct me if I'm wrong .

So now I can either selling off the iphone or accept the fact like others do or buy the apps which can solved the issue from APPStore which cost me USD$ 0.99 ......

Good Luck .

thanks for the reply. I'm holding onto my current unit until they give me a proper solution. I assume that a fix is already in the works, but we need them to speed up the process. As you mentioned, there is already a third party apps that can solve the issue, why can't Apple has it? Possible fix coming in iOS4.2? Anyhow, it's not good for anyone to sell any defect products and let the buyers going through the RMA processes. For this problem, I believe other countries are not as widespread as in Malaysia. Are we getting all the 3rd grade products?

we should show the public how widespread the issue is, so that actions can be taken to resolve the issue. I've just posted my problem on top of an existing discussion in Maxis' Facebook page. Contribute yours there too! 

What you guys have been facing is pretty common with iPhone 4. iPhone 4 is like Windows Vista , its a failure for Apple. Anyway , just want to add. I've owned a lot of smartphones. Let me share you my experience with my Treo 270. Basically I bought the unit , for some reason the screen died on me and I called up handspring/palm , they arranged me for a 1 to 1 exchange. basically they exchange it with a refurb unit. What I did was , I get a receipt saying that unit was exchanged , I put together in the box. So when I sold it , i told the buyer the unit was replaced by handspring/palm and this is the evidence. In there its stated my old IMEI phone number and the new one . When they replace you should get a receipt or somekind
Whatever Apple is telling you is a piece of lie. For instance the antenna issue and proximity sensor issue (yes I face those issues , but since the phone was give to me by maxis , I didn't bother making a big fuzz out of it). It cannot be solved something by software. Apple may say they fix it with iOS 4.2 , but trust me , they will tweak something so that it appears to be fixed - much like how they fixed the antenna issue with iOS 4.1 !

I don't care how, i want my screen in pure white, not yellow white. 

if u see there's whole screen yellow, then that's my screen too

Yellow White , even my 3G the screen is yellowish , and not as white as my iPod Touch 4. If you google up the situation , you'll find that its not only you but a lot of people do face that problem

Hahaha is okay I've seen more than 10 units with yellowish screen  so far only see 3 units with the screen that i consider as perfect

i dun quite understand the yellowish screen actually.. is it appear and obvious when ur screen is totally white?

and also the dim brightness... not sure how dim is dim.. but mine seems ok though... i can't even put it to max brightness coz its so bright that my eyes pain when i stare too long at it... most of the time i put the brightness at 40% only, to save battery, and to save my eyesight as well...

for example: if you go to settings, the screen suppose to be white. but it's yellowish white( like old paper you've keeped for years) instead of pure white.

ic... luckily mine is ok... it's pure white and bright.... i got mine from Pavillion MC. All the best to u for a replacement man...
