So which mean warranty are not from Apple nor Maxis or Digi.
As i know,most of the Tesco,Giant they got a sub- to open a shop inside.Just like normal handphone shop.
Even the Tv they selling are not their's.

well, like i am gonna getting a iphone 4 , how do i check in on the spot for make sure it's lock or unlock ?

All iPhones are basicly comes with carrier lock.
The only thing is that to know whether the iPhone gona get official carrier lock to enjoy some extra benefit (hassle free on upgrade downgrade) or not.
Jail-braking is a different story.
If you buy from Maxis,Digi (official carrier) you gonna be a maestro of your own.

hi. need advice/ help. i want to get the iphone4 but without contract but it seems next to impossible as the centres keep saying no stock.

there is 3Gs 8gb available. i am new to iphone so is it ok to get the 3Gs or ip4 is much more advanced? main use call/ text occ net surf

appreciate advice. thanks

Go to maxis webportal,and look under iPhone plans.
There will be a link which redirect "click to check stock availability" (correct me if I'm wrong).
By bother on iPhone 3GS,as my calculation says that iPhone 3GS MAY leftout after iPhone 5 iOS 5 launch.
Or you can get iPhone 4 in garage sales where can get roughly rm2000
Butntake precaution on the carrier locked set.
Have a great day

yes.. in term of spec u can see and feel. even 3G and 3Gs also you can feel the big different. 2G and 3G is very2 laggy.
*
Thats due to the firmware.no offense but in iOS 3.1.3 are super fast for both iPhone and 3GS

The upfront payment (refundable) will be rm1000.
Phone and Data plan depends on your need.
Digi has the most saving plan for iPhone (correct me if im wrong)

When buying iPhone (Used) one

what should you look for ?

how can you know it is a good mobile ?

like firmware, modem firmware etc
*
To know its genuine : Bring along your laptop,connect to iTunes.If not,just walk off.
Hassle free : Find genuine seller only where have tons of successful trade list.Ask personal warranty for you to test out the battery,free play time on that phone.Max 3 days enough.

Some for your auto concern

is it still worth to buy an iphone 3gs over ipod touch 4g?
any suggestion? blush.gif  rolleyes.gif  rolleyes.gif

Good thought and welcome to Apple as a product user.
iPhone 4 suits your requirement + if your pocket allows some hole for cash .. Why not ? ! drool.gif
iPhone 3GS has the best design overall then iPhone 4 which look really squarish.
Both music plays more then 30 hours in single charge.

Another safe on trade,check the serial number of the device with Apple directly : https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do

Be caution,the back case can be changed with minimal cost,so be extra careful.

hi all,i just wanna ask that the iphone 4 and iphone 4s's prices at apple US official website is with contract or without contract?If yes, where can I find those prices without contract?Can hardly search it.thanks
*
Eventually Apple tied up with At&T and Verizon.
So the price displayed is for contract basis minimum 2 years.
If you wish to get without contract,you can get it from Garage Sales LYN the cheapest i saw is RM2300.

wow this is new knowledge.. may try out once got time.. if like this 5.0 should be much stable and better compare to 5.01

Make sure the blob were saved.I assume the both iPhone with cellular data ON and Data Push On.
When compared,5.0 gets 2 hours standby time then 5.0.1.
Im not sure how others compare but i evidence this myself.

QUOTE(rathian_mhfu @ Feb 2 2012, 06:57 PM)
the 4s although consume so much battery but iam happy with it coz of the stability and less hang. smile.gif

Yes me too.When i look back my iPhone 2g,i kinda miss the slow and laggynest when browsing and on games.
Seriously hoping if the next Apple iPhone will be similar to iPhone 2G design.

Sorry,don't know where to ask,but,I just bought my iphone,first charging.
Since I never use iphone,is the phone auto switch to on when charging? Can't swith off when charging?
I believe other phone did not auto on when charge when battery flat.... smile.gif
Sorry for my noob question.

Congratz on your purchases.
To begin,its a very normal that phone will boot to show you that its charging.
Unlike other smartphones,iPhone dont act silly when you plug charge cord onto it,you should wait about 5 minutes after the flat battery when its start to charge ion.
And you cant off when charge,as i said its a god damn smartphone where the ram works 24/7 for you !

I have a prob with my white iphone that just bought last friday.
Flash prob. When use case,the picture haze. When google about this,there I knew so many complain about it. Then,bring to Maxis Center at KLCC,
they just can say,the case is not suitable. The case to tick. What so ever. So,anyone can help here?
From international forum,about this case,they exchange one to one,but so sad,Malaysia is not like that. Just make dumb face when we told them about this. If I knew the warranty is not from Apple,I sure buy online. sad.gif
*
You probably tried to use Flash during day time photo-shoot don't you ? White iPhone 4/4s has this problem handle too common.
From your statement,its clearly knows 100% its your case problem.You cant blame Maxis over this.Unless its a hardware problem unless you rectify them.Most of Capdase and Speck case for iPhone 4/4S tend to bounce back the flash thru out and glare the lens.This is cause hazing as you mention.

Solution : Change your casing.

Im taking about the reflection that bouncing back thru the whole back casing.
Im iPhone 4S white user,im suffering from this problem.
So what i did is that bought matt sticker that pre-cut to iPhone 4S back case,and my problem solved.
If you really notice,yes as you mention the flash strobe will actually leaked thru the back case.
This is a visual of your problem ?
