new iphone 4 handset

oh ya... i'd gotten a new set of iphone 4 ytd at ps... cos recently my phone been havin sort of poor reception.

initially, i notice tt i received sms late fr dear but might b due to d telco reception. but in past nvr had this prob except like on 12am of x'mas, new yr or cny.

anw, dear was 1st to notice s he can't contact me when he called. which made me take note too.

den, we oso noticed tt sometimes when he called or i called him, we couldn't hear each other n thr r weird background sound. only after we hung up n call again den ok.

den tt day, when i met my friend aft my dance gp graduation, my friend oso said she cant get hold of me when she reached & try to locate me. & tt made me suspect tt it's fr my phone. b4, i can't cfm s dear's phone oso bit siao siao & he'd been complainin bout it. but aft my friend oso experience tt, i believed it's fr my phone.

anw, most of my call & sms is w dear & i cont'd to experience d delayed sms once a while & d weird noisy background noise & uncontactable once a while.

i got d phone in sep last yr & in ard nov, it blackout once & i ended up havin a prepaid card on an old spare phone which i still can use nw but it's expirin. n tt time, when i called up m1, i managed to revive my phone & no need to ask my dad to go down to service centre. i'll b dead if he knew i actually did drop my phone tt day.

so since i noe tt my dad must b presence, i'd been kiv for my phone prob until late late fri nite, in fact, it's sat le. aft meetin my friend n reached hm, i wanna informed dear like usual so he wont worry. along d journey hm, i'd exchanged a couple of sms w him & my phone was still alright. but when i reached hm & dropped him a sms, d sms failed to send & i notice aft my shower. tried many times but d sending bar was stuck at ~80%. i tried to send to my friend but oso d same & so it's not cos of dear's phone again. luckily my friend oso give me d wat's app which she bought & it was workin & so i managed to get my friend to test n check my phone w me.

conclusion den was, i can't call out, ppl cant call in, i cant sms out n cant received sms too. however, i can use d wat's app which uses 3G. & tt means tt my internet service should be alright but not d calls n sms. It's only normal aft i did d master reset which i learnt months ago when my phone blackout.

thus, i can't take it any further but to wait till d next mornin n called up m1 to check whr d service ctr is. i called at 8.40 but was stated tt line only open at 9 am. called at 9.20 am but cant get hold of technician for many times. wanted to go IMM s thr is 1 service ctr thr but luckily tried d general enquires s iphone service ctr r only at ps or paragon.

i seldom frequent orchard so d most easiest place is ps s it's aft d istana. & i went thr immediately cos i don wanna b in too far queue. reach in an hr but haven open n so walked ard but when i got back, got a no of ppl queuin le. luckily i nvr walked till d door open.

i went down cos d person say if jus checkin, no need my dad's presence. only if need to do other things. but in d end, d person at counter told me tt it was due to software prob w/o even testin. so i guess this had happened to others too. he oso told me tt blackin out is quite common for iphone. gosh... tt's terrible. luckily only happened once. n so i guess, it's not cos i dropped my phone a couple of times but i nvr say tt lah. since d person say change a new set, den change loh. & so i nvr ask much le. & best part is don even need dad to b ard. haha... phew. till nw, he didn't noe i had a replacement handset le. oops...

n d weird thing was tt it was workin fine but when i reachin home, i wanna call my friend to check if she was hm so tt i can pass her ext hdd back but i cant type or do anything inside d phone call app. i got quite fed up then s i tot i'll ve to go back to ps again when i'm jus few blocks fr hm but aft doin a master reset, it's ok again. shall moniter n see hw but i'm still happy w a new handset cos i'd dropped d previous one for bit far too many times. haha...

anw, it's amazin tt d synchronizing of previous phone (app, doc, pics, mp3, etc) all r transferred back to my phone aft i plug in n type in my id & p/w. power. initially, i tot i'll ve to reload everything but didn't ve to do so 1 by 1. cool. save so much time. so it's 1 more plus pt of iphone despite d hanging, etc. quite a neat phone.
