Waiting for an hour to get attended to at the Novena service center. Sigh. Closed yesterday when I was on leave.

Took 1.5 hours to submit my phone. And you have to sit there and wait cos they have so many queue numbers. Theres no notification.

Their rest day. Given how shack they are on a Friday. I presume sat sun even worse. 

 

Ah gong bring his phone. Say screen sometimes turn black and white. Staff cannot replicate the issue. Also how come the phone screen off so fast (well it was set to 5s screen off time). Ask how to fix the former. Staff repeats say maybe I can change the motherboard for you but u need to back up yourself otherwise data lost. Uncle say wah liddat how. Staff say I can't do anything more. Back and forth. Lasts for 20+ mins. 

Some 50+ year old man ask how can I recover a deleted voice recording. Ask if got recovery software. Staff say cannot help. Then must still come back ask a bit more.

Of course got people come in for legitimate reasons like hardware issue. These one u don't mind waiting. 

Some people want to chit chat with the staff. Ask whether can use mama lemon to clean screen or not. Yes cos I use it to clean my monitor screen. Collect repaired items also want to chit chat. Wait long must milk the time right to make it worthwhile... 

Im not kidding. These are some of the bloody reasons why it took 1.5 hrs to submit the request. I took less than 5 mins. And most of it is cos I need to fill up the form.

The old man and the female staff dealing with him. I just feel 痛苦 for both parties involved. 

You really earn your bloody salary as oppo service center non repair tech staff.

Next phone. Maybe just buy a cheaper mid tier phone like Samsung A55. Spoil just throw away. 

Tomorrow I still need to go down collect the phone. Dunno need to take how long.

But if u tell me go down to the service center again. I rather buy a new phone really or just pay 200+ bucks to repair it outside. After a days work, really quite sian to wait so long. 

If can walk around and just get sms reminder. Then still can eat dinner. My wife and kids just sat outside on the mall bench and waited.

My old OPPO phone had 2 lines on screen, then last month totally cannot charge. 

Likely need to change battery + screen. Hearing your wait.. not sure if it's worth the visit😅

Mine is an old oppo flagship. Oppo now the mid tier phones are not that attractive like the reno series. But their flagships are not bad.

Most of us don't really need top of the line phone, unless it makes a big difference in your life. 😀

I find mid-tier is more than enough for me.

But somewhere I'm stuck with Xiaomi (now using Pocophone F4), but I prefer Oppo or OnePlus, due to the OS.

Doesn't matter much to me. As I don't game. Though I can't stand lag.

But I pay more for having better photos.

Ideally I should get the cheaper pixels. But I'm not into paying for cloud storage. And the cheaper pixels only have 128gb. And their various software issues. Oppo is more stable. 

Min for me is 256gb. 

I'm using my old Samsung s9+ interim now which thankfully I replaced the battery. And also I deleted all my usual apps. So it became much more snappy. Only have browser. Gmail and WA.

I am happy with my >2 year old Oppo Reno 7. Only downside, battery does not last as long as before; but this is understandable.
My children's Oppo are 4 years old, still going strong.
My wife's (fairly new) Oppo Reno 11 is great. Great camera, fully charged in 45 mins using the supplied charger!

I have sworn off top end, flagship phones. These things don't even provide a charger even after paying >$1500!
I will stay with mid-tier Oppo because of the fast charge and the included charger and earbuds. Oppo phones come out of the box with screen protector, casing and 2 year warranty. Can't find any other mid-tier phone with these included.

Poco F4 is a nice phone, my boy also using.. true xiaomi OS isn't the best, but can't really find other brands with similar specs at similar price.. recently bought a Poco x6 for my wife to use as work phone

Lol after i had the green line last month.

My wife's Oneplus 10pro also developed the same line this morning. This phone is almost identical to my phone in specs other than maybe using a lousier camera sensor. Guess the screen is the same one.

However problem is this phone is a grey set. So need to self pay for screen change. $218 😑

hmm... I thought the green line is just a Samsung feature. 😁

lot of people have green/white lines on their phones. Especially if u see the blue collar workers. 

Yesterday at the roast meat stall, the staff use an old handphone to scan CDC vouchers. Think that one has at least 7-8 lines 😄
