Acid 0 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Take it to you nearest Apple store, the will give you a new one, don't take it to O2 ! Apple Store? Didn't know they had a store in Newcastle? Did i say there was ? Then why advise it? O2 it is then, would I have to return it to the original store (Metrocentre), to obtain a replacement or can I go to another branch? FFS! He does say the "nearest" Apple store, not the "Newcastle" apple store. I'm sure you dont expect him to look on the net to see if there is one near your house when you can do that? Why not just ring them? The only apple store I know of was in London and obviously thats inconvient. Likewise, I'll just goto the shop and demand a replacement, should work.

Jimbo 175 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 If you take it to an O2 shop they will take it away for testing, you'll be weeks without your iPhone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acid 0 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Bah, well I'm back and little progress. They've demoted me with the first ever mobile you probably bought of a Nokia and told me the repair or replacement will take two weeks onwards. I also asked about the insurance, which didn't cover technical faults and doesn't overcome the standard one year garunatee which Apple have issued, once it's expired. The guy (chinese) didn't appear to have a clue about what I was talking about tbh, and merely offered me what he could. I then asked the option of being recredited, considering I'm not actually using the iPhone and instead using a petty Nokia non-colour, but still I have to continue the original £45 contract on this piece of shite.

Jimbo 175 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Shame you don't have an Apple Store near by, they would have exchanged it there and then for a shiny new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope they send a new phone mind, considering it's a glitch in the firmware which seems unrepairable from most reports and accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use the Wunder Radio app to tune into any radio station that has an internet feed. other than that, there will be a Spotify app out soon but you can only use that via wifi, not 3G.

Acid 0 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 The Spotify app sound pretty useless if it's not using the 3G mechanism, where as your restricted using a Wifi serivice. Where do you get Voice Control, I can't find it on the app store or is it an iPhone 3GS exclusive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46023 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Can you not just deal with Apple Online? When an ipod knacks they send you a box to send it to them, and as soon as they receive it they'll ship you one that works back. You can get it back within a week.

I did mine through O2 stores and had it back in under a week all covered on the warranty. Just make sure you have everything backed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, it can be returned no problem as it's a hardware fault, unless the screen is obviously different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the fuck did you take it to a street vendor, when the thing would still be under warranty and you've got an apple store handy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
