Vidafone Apple iPhone 4G with Cracked Screen

Received a unit if original Vodafone set, apple iPhone 4G yesterday. The customer told us that he is aware of the sick-looking rip off rogue repair in Auckland central who operates from a rundown cheap retail store (client said you will not muss it, damn place smells and look like a $2 shop).

The idiot quoted $85 to inspect the damaged iPhone 4G (what is there to inspect, you can see with your naked eyes the digitizer is broken) and $550 to "repair" it. Wonder how one can repair a broken glass/digitizer? A true professional alright. He thinks that all Kiwis are stupid like him and money grows on tree.

Any way, the unit was sorted out for this smart and alert customers.

If you think you have been cheated or motherboard being switch by such dodgy repair crook, join our forum and Facebook to learn how to get justice done. If you are a season blogger please get in touch, we shall do something right to
protect innocent phone repair customer.

Samsung Galaxy S i9000 Killed by Idiot

A furious customer gave his expensive Samsung Galaxy S i9000 to us today. He claimed that a dodgy and cheap-looking place in Auckland stuffed up his Samsung Galaxy S smartphone. Owner said phone cannot turn on, but the idiot charge him $180 to upgrade software. After which, owner said phone turn on but stucked on startup mode and cannot turn on completely.

Our technical findings:
Battery was flat and needs to be booted up
There us no need to upgrade the Android firmware
Wrong software used to upgrade the firmware (which has got nothing to do the battery!)

The final solution:
Battery booted up, recondition to original state and working condition
Loaded new Android firmware

The Ending:
Client happy with our service and advice

- Next Action:
The client will be filing Police report at Auckland Central for repair fraud and willful destruction if property
-Forward then police to Ministry of Justice

- Check his immigration status or people related to him

If you think you have been ripped-off by questionable repair centre, just text us at (021) 117-2222 and we shall help you to get justice done and recover your lost.

Check online forums and Facebook victim support group. The days are lured for this semi-pro repair person.

Shift Hybrid: A Wrist Watch for Automotive Enthusiast

Shift Hybrid is a watch based on automotive engineering featuring elements like disc brakes, speedometers, seat belts, and gear shifts. The materials used are also found in cars. Parts like aluminium, carbon fibre, stainless steel, rubber, and glass. Take a look after the jump and see if you can spot all the automotive influences.

The design utilizes both analog and digital parts. All the gears, rotors and needles are analog but they are controlled digitally to precisely keep time right down to the millisecond. Quite impressive.

Designer: Menghsun Wu.
