BE AWARE: Maxis iP4 Extended Warranty

vincentlaw — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 23:21:28 +0800

==============================
BE AWARE that Maxis iPhone 4 Extended Warranty (24-months) is only repair by 3rd party, no 1-1 replacement option as most user might thought it is, and customer/owner have to deal with the 3rd party repairer by ownself
==============================

[Phone Purchase Time]
I bought my iPhone4 (32GB Black) with Maxis on 30 October 2010 with 24months Contract iValue2 Plan (RM155/month) and that give me coverage of 24-months warranty as per mentioned in their advertisement and contract. I bought it at Maxis Branch at Pavillion KL, under my own name. At the time i bought this phone, no one makes me aware of the warranty is not the same comparing 'Year 1 warranty (month 1-12)' vs 'Year 2 warranty (month 13-24)'. There is not a single clause in the contract i signed with Maxis (on the day i bought the phone) which stated that extended warranty (Year 2 warranty) is covered by 3rd party company (Note: i will scan the contract i signed and upload it here later, i left it in my Car when i writing this). There is NO SINGLE STAFF WARN ME, TELL ME, or MAKE ME AWARE ABOUT DIFFERENT WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR 2nd YEAR (so called extended warranty) Therefore I'm happily thought that the warranty is covered by Apple or Maxis until today, Monday 30th April 2012, and i think everyone who have the same 24 months iPhone contract with Maxis will be in the position as me.

[Phone Facing Problem Time]
Today morning, 30 April 2012, when I'm halfway using my phone (phone at more than 80% battery), messaging with 'Whatsapp', then suddenly my phone shows a warning message "Warning. Your phone is overheating. Needed to be cooldown to be fully functional" (or something similar as i cant remember the full exact message). The phone at that time was not warm/hot at all, or i will say it is at normal temperature. I said not warm/hot at all because when i 'map', it will be warmer/hotter. Then after about 10 seconds. The phone goes blank. There after i can't turn on my phone anymore since after that.

[Troubleshooting Steps I've taken (before and after to Maxis Centre @KLCC]
I've tried to:
1. hold the power button (top), to turn on/off the phone as usual = failed
2. hold the power button (top) + home button (bottom) for 12 seconds = failed, 20 seconds = failed, 1minute = failed, 2minutes = failed
3. hold the power button (top) + home button (bottom) for 12 seconds, then let go home button while holding home button, trying to go into DFU mode = failed, then connect to my laptop with itunes on = failed
4. plug my phone into my laptop, with itunes on = failed (nothing happen to phone or laptop)
5. plug my phone into my laptop, with itunes on, and perform Step #1, #2, #3 = all failed
6. plug my phone into power adapter, with cable ofcourse, to charge phone for a long period, over 4 hours of charging, then perform Step #1, #2, #3 = all failed............. this is done after i came back from Maxis @KLCC

[Time When i reach Maxis Centre @KLCC]
Reach Maxis @KLCC, to here because it is their HQ, (to cut the less important part short)... take number for RMA, number 7080, wait until i'm called to counter #17, meet this Technical Staff(TS) or Customer Service Staff (CSS), a guy name Khairy. He perform some test, as i mentioned previous, Step #1, #2, #3, #4, #5 (Step #4 & #5 done with Maxis computer, not my laptop). Then he start to reach for my warranty card, asking for my Identity Card (IC), to check my warranty status and ownership (warranty card as in below spoiler) Then he inform me:

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

==========================
Khairy : "This phone is over 1-year of warranty yea"
Me : "Yes, however I have this phone under 2-years contract and the warranty is 2 years too"
Khairy : "Yes"... then he reaching out for a piece of paper under his desk and tear out a portion of the paper and pass it over to me, and the paper as shown below (spoiler) then tell me "for 2nd year warranty, actually is not responsible under Maxis, it is covered under 3rd party insurance. You will need to call them (contact on the paper given), and deal with them. They will pick up your phone from you and repair it"
==========================

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

I was shocked, frustrated, disappointed at this time hearing what he told me, as i thought it was under Maxis or Apple warranty coverage. Now Maxis is telling me that they want my phone to be sent to a 3rd party, i doubt it is authorized/official apple repairer and doubt they will be using all genuine parts in repair (doubt only, but not confirm). Then i say:

==========================
Me : "I wasn't aware of this warranty different since the beginning i purchase this phone"
Khairy : "It is stated under your contract"
Me : I reach out my contract and read over it again, 1.5 page, then i ask him, "can you show me which clause stated it?"...
==========================

Then i pass him the paper, he read over it, then he pointed to be clause #15 and hand it back to me. Then i have it read over again. While I'm reading, he reach out for his colleague beside and ask where it stated in contract (he is unsure too). Then after i finish reading i told him "This clause wasn't referring to any 3rd party warranty coverage for 2nd year". Then he ask me to wait and then he go to get other help. Then after ~5 minutes, he comes back with his superior, Mr. Ravindran ('assistant manager' as stated on his badge), or Ravi in short.

==========================
Ravi : "This 3rd party was assigned by Maxis for extended warranty. Maxis change it"
Me : "But I'm not aware of it, non stated in the contract i signed with Maxis, and no Maxis staff inform me regarding this"
Ravi : "It is decided by Maxis management"
==========================

Cutting the story short, to the mainpoint, I was told to deal with this 3rd party, Mr.Ravi left, I called up and spoke with Ms. Kiren (from Techprotec, 3rd party). conversation as below (in brief to the mainpoint)

==========================
Me : Do you REPAIR ONLY or will 1-1 REPLACEMENT?
Kiren : "ONLY REPAIR"
Me : Will you use all genuine parts?
Kiren : "I 'BELIEVE' so" <<<<< you judge yourself for this statement
Me : "You 'BELIEVE' so?. Meaning there might be chances i will get imitate (not genuine parts)"
Kiren : put me on hold.... and come back with "sir we will use genuine part for repair"
==========================

Cutting the story short, to the mainpoint, i place an appointment to drop off my phone to Sunway Pyramid (just in case), however i still doesn't agree with all this yet. Was given a choice of either the 3rd party pick up from my place (will take minimum 3 working days longer) or to send it to Bandar Utama or Sunway Pyramid (for faster process). I paid the amount stated for this iPhone offer/package/promotion and was told 24months warranty and now I'm risking my phone to be replace by non-genuine parts and repair by 3rd party, which no one has ever hear it before. I was directed to drop my phone at Sunday Pyramid and i was SMS by Kiren withe the detail of the repairer as below

====================================================
"Dear Mr. Law,

The address of the repairer as below:
Inno-PDA
Unit 23, Digital Center,
F2.39B, 1st Floor

Job No: MAX 0645"
====================================================

Once again I'm frustrated as I'm directed to ANOTHER different party, name "INNO-PDA".... Oh my God.... All this makes me lost confident, loyalty and trust towards Maxis. Then i request Khairy (CS) that i want this case to escalate to higher level and i want to speak to person who is superior than Mr. Ravi as i'm not happy with the warranty service that I'm getting. he told me that the highest level i can reach is Mr. Ravi. Then go back to Mr. Ravi and had a 1-to-1 conversation inside a discussion room. Expressing my unhappiness, frustration and felt cheated and my years of trust and loyalty towards Maxis goes down to drain in few hours.

Cutting the story short, to the mainpoint again. I told him that I'm going to escalate this back to Apple for sure, reaching IT forums, and trying to escalate to as high level as possible in Maxis. I'm not trying to make a big fuss over it but I'm trying to get the service that i suppose to get as this is not really acceptable for me. All he do is to comfort me and ask me to feedback to 'customercare@maxis.com.my' (paper as shown in below spoiler), said that he will put a remark in his system that i spoken to him.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Then i left Maxis, didn't handover my phone to that 'INNO-PDA' as i don't feel good about this repairer & 3rd party as my phone privacy is at stake where i have my privacy personal information and work information in my phone. What if that 3rd party harvest my phone data and leak out to public? What about if the parts used to replace is not genuine? If either of that happen, then who should customer/user go after (3rd party or Maxis)? (If you think of going after Maxis, then be reminded that customer/owner is dealing with 3rd party ownself, not going through Maxis).

When I'm leaving, I ask Ravi to give me a case number and then he walk me to Khairy place and ask for it. Then telling me no case is created, only put a log/note in their system. As im leaving, i realize the current customer serve by Khairy, have the same exact torn out paper (the 3rd party info, as attached above) on the table. Tthat guy is talking to the 3rd party and all i heard is he asking the same question as i before, "tak boleh replacement?". This guy have same fate with me.

Overall i spent about 2.5 hours in Maxis @KLCC. All i get is, basic troubleshooting (as mentioned above), told to contact 3rd party and deal with 3rd party ownself (not going through Maxis). And was told not to ask the 3rd party to pickup my phone at Maxis Centre (What is this mean? Once again reader judge by your ownself).

By the way I did call up Maxis Phone Customer Service (Dial 123) and ask what i need to bring (contract, warranty card, n etc) and also ask them to where is the fastest process to get it fixed/replace, is it Maxis @KLCC (as this is main centre), and i was answered with "Maxis @KLCC is better as they have technician which is knowledgable (better than smaller Maxis Branches which don't have iPhone specialist). That is why i decided to go Maxis @KLCC to deal with this issue. But all i get is to redirected to 3rd party and deal by myself. Wasting time, petrol and parking fee. They should just tell to deal with 3rd party and give me the details, via phone.

Question is:
1. Why Maxis didn't inform 'iPhone 4 Plan customer/owner' regarding the Extended Warranty is covered by 3rd party (only repair and not 1-1 replacement)?
2. Why there is none of this 'Extended Warranty is covered by 3rd party' or 'Extended Warranty is only for repair only, not 1-1 replacement' in the contract?
3. Why Maxis ask 'iPhone 4 Plan customer/owner' to deal it with 3rd party ourself? Why not Maxis collect our phone and they deal with it?
4. Why still advise customer to go Maxis Centre to do RMA, if knew that nothing will be done by Maxis @ Maxis Centre and customer will be redirected to 3rd party? (refer to additional point below)

Anyone can advise regarding this case? What i should do? steps i should take, to help to revive my phone or to help in this case.

Maxis iPhone 4 speaker max volume is softer now

vincentlaw — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 01:09:11 +0800

I realized that my iPhone 4 volume is not as loud as when i first got it. I'm referring to the speaker, not earphone.

I realize this on the 9th month of purchase and i have 2 years warranty from Maxis.

Anyone experience this? can share your experience of fixing or claim warranty from Maxis?
