bkmbkk Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I should have known better after many years here, but the scammers are sometimes ahead of my level. Within the last 6 month had my I phone 5 (64 G) in for a screen change and another time for a battery change. I just recently downloaded the memory to my laptop in connection with a phone upgrade. It is than I discover my 64 G memory is now 16 G. I used the small phone shops outside the Apple store in Central Festival for the repairs. Lesson learned Check your memory before repair with staff and after repair with staff. This is typical - you think it is great service at good price and fast - But !!!

daveAustin Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I won't take my tech in for repair (smartphones/computers)... if I can't fix it, time for another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenBravo Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Did you go back to the shop and confront them about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inzman Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I brought my iPhone in for a new battery. Came back 1 hour later, checked the battery doctor app I installed, it said the battery had been charged 700 times. I confronted the guy. He was surprised I had this app. He admitted he had put in a used battery and gave my money back. He then asked where to get the app. Such crooks!

stoli Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I purchased my iPhone 6 from iBeats, an Apple approved store. Battery swelled 200% in size after 18 months. I took the phone back to iBeats, they sent it to Bangkok, and it was fixed and returned (in 3 weeks), for no charge. I was pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
federicoP Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 One year ago I bought a 32 G memory card for my smartphone at one of the small shops at Central. No particular problems (the card was really 32G), but in my new memory card I found several pictures of some people that I did not know ...... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you upgrade to a 64 G you might see me Years back (when people drove Honda Dreams and there where no scooters) I learned to check if it was still the original CDI and carburetor mounted on the moped after a tyre rep. The Mech would simply change original parts out with second hand copy parts and sell the original parts. You would never know until a few weeks later the moped needs another check up at your trusted Mech - keeps the guy busy. It sums it up right there. If you upgrade to a 64 G you might see me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsetBkk Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I won't take my tech in for repair (smartphones/computers)... if I can't fix it, time for another. Ditto PC system disks - whack it with a hammer and get another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotheruser Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 If you go to a shop to have anything internal serviced you make sure you watch and they don't gut your phone. You don't let them take it to the back room or yoour battery, at the very least will be gone. They are crooks but you should know that when they are doing replacements for this price. Go to Samsung or Apple to get your work done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NamKangMan Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Memory chip changed from 64 to 16 without my knowledge Just to clarify, is this a removable 64GB micro SD card, or the internal memory chip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merijn Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 IPhones do not have removable memory cards. He must have gotten a completely different phone then. The iphone memory is part of the main board and so far i know can't be replaced separate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shop has either swapped the main board, the whole phone, or the phone cover, either on purpose, or accidentally. I doubt the shop has the expertise to remove the internal memory chip. OP, did you store your IMEI number and compare it to the IMEI number of the phone they gave you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
