Hi,
has anyone had any dealings with this joke of a company?
i send my phone back to them the other day since their site said it was still under warranty (when it was 10 days over a year old, so presumed that they had some kind of leyway for slightly over a year old stuff)
after being on hold to them this morning for 45 mins i was told that it had been booked in as "out of warranty". now i've not had any contact about this. i was told to email some manager guy there but have had no response about it.
i've now been on hold for nearly an hour and dont seem to be getting anywhere. i just feel rather concerned that i've sent 500quids worth of phone to them to have them ignore my calls/emails and not even tell me about the findings of looking at my phone.
anyone? someone must have
Hi,
I actually had a problem with my Jasjar as well. I actually rotated the flip on the wrong side .
I have been advised by Clubimate to send it to SBE in the UK. I contacted them via their websystem, had my phone collected the next day by TNT.
After a couple of days, I received an email confirming they received it and another one with the price I had to pay to get it fixed.
I called them, paid by credit card and I finally received my phone back 3 days after.
I am quite disguted with the amount I had to pay, but, hey, that was my mistake...
My experience was obvisouly not happy but not as much as you described....
Did you get it fixed now?
Did you ever get your phone back and how much did they charge?
Hi,
I’m a very well kept Nexus One owner. Had a problem with my power button recently (power button would occasionally not work until it almost never worked) and I called US HTC customer service to ask for a repair. I’m in warranty period of course (as the phone was just introduced this beginning of the year). So I thought that it’ll go quite smoothly. But HTC made the repair an impossible mission.
I first opened a call on Sept 5 for a repair (I asked specifically not replacement, because I wanted to keep my AMOLED screen, and I repeated this request several time) but it was wrongly opened as replacement. I called them and told them about the mistake, asked to covert the call to be a repair. It’s not so easy with HTC because they have to close the replacement call first and open a new call for repair. Since it was Sunday, they couldn’t cancel a call they opened by mistake just 15 minutes before, it appears that on Sunday they don’t have the authority to close/convert calls or to open new ones if one already exists....
I had to call them again on Monday the 6th and open a repair call. Then I've sent them the phone. It arrived to you on Sept 13th. HTC notified me by mail that there's a quote waiting for me (although the product is in warranty) I asked, using your on-line form that they'll get back to me with clarification regarding the quote. Here’s starts the problem - That didn't happen so far. On the next day, the 14th, I call them and they told me that the case is cracked that's why HTC issued me a quote. It surprised me because the phone was sent to HTC repair center in mint external condition and I asked to get pictures of the cracked case. HTC call center first promised to sent it within two hours. After not receiving pictures within two hours I called again and then I was notified by that actually the pictures will arrive up to 48 hours. Since I didn't get them by the 16th. I called again and this time HTC call center agent said the pictures will arrive within 72 hours since I requested them. I also ask to speak with a supervisor that apologies that I previously promised to get the pictures within 48 Hours (supposed to be on the 16th) and promised to me to get the pictures by the the 17th end of day. It didn't happen. I called again on the next Monday the 20th and a HTC call center supervisor claimed that the 72 hours has not yet passed! And I should wait more additional days to get the answer. At that point I told them that I expect them to repair the phone free of charge and they filed yet another escalation for that (to be answer within the regular 72 business hours...)
Today is the 24th - No pictures have been received and no answers to any of the escalations. Maybe the 72 business hours are counted using a special HTC clock that is stuck.
I’ve them again today, as they never contact you by phone. The most they can do is send a mail with apologies saying the case is being check and I’ll get response within the next 72 business hours. Ridiculous! Anyway today, after waiting for 30 minutes to talk with a supervisor - I got the exact same answer - they’ll escalate it and return to me within 72 business hours. I told them that I already got this answer and as of now, after being escalated for 4 times and after who knows how many “72 business hours” passed already. I don’t believe that I’ll get an answer from them and asked to speak with somebody in the repair center. The call center supervisors are completely useless: they cannot promise anything, they cannot answer any definitive answer, they cannot contact HTC repair center or their HQ. They just apologies and return themselves endlessly and pointlessly.
HTC repair is a nightmare. I think people should be aware that they have horrible customer service process, repair and call center. I definitly warn everybody that wants to buy an HTC - They just not deliver when you need their repair service
Anyone here with advices I’ll be glad to hear...
Thanks,
I too had horrible custome service. My battery was having problems and wouldnt hold a charge. They told me it would be there in five business day. Long story short it took 1 month. F htc. I hope to god nothing else happens to my phone.
I always have amazing encounters with htc

I called them on Monday for a warranty replacement and it's Friday and they still haven't sent it. They were supposed to have it sent by the end of the second business day. They gave me an escalation, too. We'll see how long this actually takes.
Bah nothing. Try this.
In Australia, through company called Expert Infotech
Sent phone in for repair, was told 2-4 weeks. So 4 weeks later, nothing. So I call them to find out what's happening. They tell me the main board needs replacing and it will be another 3 weeks. So 3 weeks later still nothing. So I ring again. They then tell me, they can't find a problem and have hard reset it and is ready to be sent back to me, after I pay them an additional $20 for shipping. I say I was told the main board was getting replaced, they say no that was mistake and some other repair. So 7 weeks and all they did was a hard reset (which I obviously tried before sending in for repair) AND I had to pay to get my most likely still broken phone back (haven't received yet)
I would not recommend dealing with this company
Phone is a Motorola Milestone btw, not my N1 thankfully

I am really sorry to hear about your bad experience. I was very close yesterday to posting a thread PRAISING HTC for the awesome service I got when called them for a swap. My power button went out and they were EXTREMELY helpful. Even told them I bought the phone used and needed to update the owner info. Hoping my phone will be at my door tomorrow when I get home.
I, too, have had HORRIBLE experiences with HTC repair center. Not once, but TWICE. Once with my TP2 and next with my Nexus. It is a nightmare to deal with them. Honestly. I hope nothing ever goes wrong with my phone again. I have it wrapped in bubble wrap so it won't break. lol
Hello everyone,
I want to share with you my worse-than-a-nightmare experience regarding the HTC support.
My current ticket number is 10USD420004057 in case someone from HTC actually bothers to read this.
I bought my Nexus One the day it was launched, making great efforts to ship it from the US to my country. Then it accumulated a lot of dust under screen and I have decided to let HTC take care of this problem under warranty. I have arranged a phone swap and they sent me a replacement phone. The replacement was basically in "ran by a truck" condition: scratches everywhere, the rear cover would not fit properly ! I have then decided to send the replacement back and send my own phone for repair.
After they finally repaired my phone (about one month later !) they sent it to a wrong address. It was lost. But this is not all ! My previously opened support tickets were changed from my name to another name and there was basically no evidence that I sent my phone to them ! Luckily I had the email notifications from those tickets and also the Google Checkout invoice and I sent them to HTC. Then they said they figured out the problem and they would send a replacement phone over to me. To get to this point, I called every 2-3 days for about a month !
Since then, I keep calling every 2-3 days and also sending emails to them after each call. Every time I call they say "there are no updates". This is happening for over a month !
So my phone is forever lost at HTC and they don't want to send me my phone or another phone back. From the 10 months since I had my Nexus One, it has spent 3 months at HTC before finally being lost.
So I have spent $530 + tax + shipping only to have HTC withold my phone forever.
Right now I am saving money for a Samsung Nexus S but I will still keep calling them every 2-3 days until maybe someone from HTC solves the problem.
This was my nighmare with HTC. My advice to you is DO NOT buy HTC phones ever ! If you ever have a problem with your phone, you're screwed.
PS: when I traveled to the US last year, a friend of mine entered an Apple store with his defective capacitive touchscreen on his first-generation iPhone. They gave him a new iPhone on the spot, in 10 minutes.
Sorry to hear about you're situation mate, sadly things like that can happen. Luckily i've had good experiences, sometimes mentioning legal action can motivate people to send equipment via special delivery
My work gave me a galaxy s which I am loving, shame its got no flash but im looking forward to the nexus s
Sent from my EVO using XDA App
I would contact my credit card issuer, personally.
oh man,this is phucked
that's a horrible situation, but it's believable. I've also heard about the replacement service with Apple. How awesome would that be?!?
On a different note, I'm going to laugh if they release a phone with 2.3 on it, before pushing an OTA to the Nexus One. hahaha
Happened to me, and possibly many other users. Their warehouse is so incompetent that it is not even surprising to hear something like this.
The way I got my phone back: talk to the floor supervisor immediately after the phone call is connected. Then threaten him/her that I'm writing to the newspaper/local stations.
After maybe a month or two, you should have someone contacting you. It took me 5 weeks of doing that, every day.
Contact your credit card company and initiate a chargeback for non delivery. Explain the details of the situation and be sure to explain the length of time its been, and the constant promises of rectification; and specificlly that they have never called you back to let you know whats happening.
If they agree the chargeback, then put a list of the events that have happened, and the people you've spoken to and email a copy with a complaint to the CEO of HTC, and whoever used to be responsible at google for the sale of nexus's just for good measure
comments like 'ill never buy a HTC again' arent that effective in complaint letters, use commnets like 'I appreciate in a large organisation errors can occur and are not always spotted, but i am astonished that once it was brought to your attention your company was incapable of dealing with the situation.'. You can also mention writing to the local press, and wether they would like to be quoted on a response.
Humiliation usually works
You never know your chargeback might go through and they might send u a nexus as a good will gesture.
OP- "After they finally repaired my phone (about one month later !) they sent it to a wrong address. It was lost"
That could easily have been the FedEx delivery man's fault instead of HTC. You need to get a FedEx tracking # from HTC and see the address on it to find out if HTC messed up writing the address or if the FedEx driver messed up delivering it.
I used to work at FedEx and knew of a courier that, eventually, got fired because he knew which boxes were iPhones, not deliver them, but say he did in the computer system, and sell them on craigslist.
does this apply for swap replacements? I went with the swap method, where they place a hold on my credit card. i really need the phone asap. What do you guys think, could they screw me up over? say they never received the package when i send it or what not? i would hate to have a wasted 530 on my credit card statement..
i just realized, if you do the swap method, what happens when they receive your phone they decide its not covered under warranty. do they ask for you to mail back their phone or do they say "eff u. u got a new phone, we're gonna keep your old one and charge you that 530 and tax"
i really hope its not the latter. if its out of the warranty, i rather them ask me to send the phone back and get my messed up one back.
im also getting a warranty swap. phones having some trouble reading a sim.
i've been googling and alot of people seem to have some issues with warranty replacement. some say the phones they receive are in worse condition than their old ones. that its has scratches all over the place. this def does not make me feel good. worse cause the cs lady assured me i wont be able to tell the difference between a new phone. lets hope thats true..
HTC Support was great for me!
I sent my nexus one in last thursday to have the power button repaired, they got it the next day and sent me an email that it was being repaired. This Tuesday I checked the repair site and it said it was repaired, I received it the same day, 5 DAYS, Awesome, I thought. Seems they replaced everything except the mother/logic board. My old screen let dust in between screens, had several dings in casing and digitizer was loose. It came back perfect in less than a week, hope you case turns out ok. I have only good things to say about them so far. And all this was at no cost on a phone i bought used.
I had horrible htc experience myself. They also lost my return phone, after 100 phone calls and few weeks later they found it. bunch of idiots over there.
did they apologize and try to make it up to you?
did you do a swap or a repair? i dont understand how a multimillion dollar corporation would be this disorganized..
Just another reason to avoid HTC for the time being. Sorry for your troubles. I hope they send you your N1 back or what you paid for it.
My phone kept rebooting every few seconds so I sent it in. They sent it back and it had the same problem. So I sent it in again. They sent it back a second time with the same problem. I called support again and they asked if I wanted to send it in again to see if they can fix it. I opted for a swap and got a different phone.
Im sorry ur having troubles at htc that does suck but ur glad the next nexus is made by samsung? Not tryin to be a **** but wtf are u smokin? That phone looks like a shiney turd an samsung phones are cheap pieces of ****. Im sorry but samsung doesnt deserve to use the nexus name that belongs to HTC who makes the best phones whether u like them or not.

This is what I am worried about. I opted to not have a swap sent to me on the off-chance that HTC pulls a "your bootloader is unlocked so we are keeping your 530 bucks" or a sneaky "this is not covered by warranty" trick.
If my phone comes back and still reboots randomly, I am going to call back, opt for a swap and assume that since the first time it was covered by warranty, it should be covered again for the exact same problem (hoping logic is not lost on HTC).
I wish they sent a shipping number when the phone was done. It has been sitting as "repaired" for a couple days now.
I called HTC and told them my phone was randomly rebooting. They sent me an email while on the call with a prepaid fedex label and gave me my ticket number. I mailed it out the next day using the printed prepaid label. I got an email next day that they received my phone. 3 days later I got an email saying the phone was repairs under warranty at no cost and was shipped back. 2 days later the phone was in my hands no issue. Took about 5 days or so but 2 of those were non business days. So I have to say, no arguments about HTC at all here
All is well here...got it today. Relocked bootloader too.

My touch screen died on my HD2, it was one of the older versions bought in Jan last year. I sent it off to HTC in April and they've had it over a month now. They say the parts are in Taiwan but have no idea when they'll ship. I simply can't beleive such a big company can happily take my phone off me for over a month and still not be able to tell me when they'll repair it. And to top it off, they sent my proof of purchase, which had my name/address etc on it, to a totally different customer; the numpty repair shop had clearly shoved my paperwork in to some elses repaired HTC phone.
Anyone else have the same issues with them at the moment? Anyone managed to get a replacement handset out of them yet???
This is a high bureaucracy if you want something repaired under warranty...

Funnily enough they sent me an email today to say the phone should be with me on the 25th and the delay was due to moving the repair centre. That's the first time they mentioned that, up till today, it was always "we're waiting on parts, not sure what's happening". If only people could be honest. At least they've offered a free accesory up to 50 quid as a way of saying sorry so that's not too bad. Still, this whole debacle makes me think my next phone won't be a Sensation but a Galaxy S2. I hope Samsung do better repairs!

Got the same call today - repaired phone will be back with me next week & I chose the Bluetooth Headset for £50 as a freebie from HTC (as an apology for the delay in returning the phone to me).
The experience has not made me want to jump from the HTC brand (been with them since the old days of the SPV) - therefore I will still be grabbing a Sensation when my contract expires in the next few months.
Mine got picked up 6 weeks ago today and I got the same email yesterday. It was a Desire that I sent off.
try to ask them send u a new phone ^^
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Ive tried many times lol.
Have any of you got UPS tracking numbers for your devices to be shipped back?
My HD2 finally arrived back today with a nice new working touch screen (just as HTC said it would).
Although the HTC website says that it is awaiting pick-up by the courier service
Now I have to find another screen protector & try my best to apply it minus dust bubbles & turned up corners.
Well, well.... Got my phone back today after 6 weeks and 5 days unrepaired, exactly with the same fault as when I sent it and with my battery missing to top it off.
HTC have now told me that I will be receiving a brand new Desire S for compensation, its supposed to arrive today or tomorrow.
Anyone else been offered a brand new phone for compensation?
Lets say that my experience in the Benelux area is not much better.
The first time my HD2 got into repair, 1.5 months ago. 3 appointments to pick it up and not showing up with the most lame excuses.
Device was fixed after that in 1 week time which is good to me but the delivery back was another thing .... again.
The guy on the phone also asked me why I was angry after 3 missed appointments. Well if I do that in my current role I will not make it untill the end of the week.
Now after a month my phone has a MB problem and I already feared the support thing when it started happening. Needless to say I was right again!
Called in on Monday morning and was asked when it should be picked up. Two choices Tuesday 9am-1pm or 1pm-6pm, so I choose 9am-1pm.
They picked it up at 4:20pm. Not so funny when you think that I have to arrange my working day (and customers) for it.
To top it off. This morning I get an email that the device they received is not a desire hd as mentioned in the case but a hd2. sighhh
-------
Aangemeld Product:
Desire HD - Desire HD
Referentienummer: 11BECxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ontvangen Product:
TOUCH HD 2 - TOUCH HD 2
--------
And I won't go into detail on what happened to my Touch Pro a year ago which went into service a couple of times and wasn't fixed at all.
... and we have a winner ... again.
Got a message last Friday that my HD2 was ready.
Now this morning I asked Dynafix (the company that 'fixes' it in the Benelux)where it was and what was done to fix the issue.
'installed the latest rom' I was speechless.
I already told the HTC guy what was done before it was picked up and ofcourse installing the latest rom is one of them.
About 20 minutes later by coincidence I get customer care on the line asking me if I was satisfied with the repaired phone. (That I still don't have btw)
I mention what I just heard from the repaircenter and that the device will not work like it should.
It will have to come in 1 more time and then they can do a swap if it gets approved.
The device has not been working like it should since March the 27th.
I asked if it could get swapped for another model and I got a straight 'no'.
HTC is seriously getting on my nerves. Spending over 2000 Euros on phones over the past 3 years and not doing something in return for customers is not a good thing.
I was tempted to ask for a Sensation and pay a part of it myself but now I am more than tempted to get the Samsung S2.
Edit: The thing arrived 15 minutes ago ..... pop in battery and 5 minutes later ... stuck
Already recorded it to have some proof http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7rswNyy2DI
Edit 2: Contacted HTC again to ask them if they can exchange it.
This really .... me of. They concider the last repair not a repair but a software upgrade so they will not exchange it.
Strange since I sent it in for a repair and already mentioned that I did a rom upgrade etc.
Anyone got recent experience of the repair service in UK?
Have just send my HD to have the touch screen repaired only to find out that their repair center is not good.
Any experiences?
Rob.
I just recently sent mine back. They returned it with the same fault I sent it in for. All they did was a factory reset.
This sounds familiar, I sent my wife's desire back 3 times with speaker noise. Came back reset every time with the same problem. After many phone calls and a letter to the CEO we were contacted by a Regional Customer Care Manager who again was worse than useless. Stand your ground as HTC policy is to replace phones after 3 failed attempts to repair the same fault. Hope this is useful.
I quoted the sale of goods act to Phones4U that states the retailer is liable for repairs, etc... I got a replacement sent out in 3-4 days.
I have the number of the Written Complaints Team of Phones4U if anyone needs it. I didn't write to them.

Although IANAL as Andy states in the UK your contract is with the retailer not the manufacturer, so it's the retailer who is required to sort the problems out, they can ask you to deal with the manufacturer direct BUT you are not obliged to do so.
They all get sent to HTC anyway and because Carphone Warehouse are doubly useless I chose to send mine to HTC direct.
I got my phone back within 3 weeks. I have no idea if they fixed it or not because they neglected to return my battery. I have now been waiting for a week for HTC to get stock back in again.
Shambles.
I really feel for you fellers as I've been on the arse end of rubbish repair service with a SONY, NOKIA & Phones4U in the past. My son's wildfire just came back from the UK repair centre & I have been absolutely amazed atwith all of it. From the inital call to the return of the phone - for a non working screen - 3 days, 3 days! Received this AM & so far all seems as it ought to be. Maybe I got lucky (& I do hope this positive post doesn't snap back & bite me on the butt) but I can't complain at all.
(That's killed it, I just know I've opened a world of pain for meself now )
Oh & I hope all you experiencing bad service really do get your stuff sorted to your satisfaction asap.
My first Desire HD bricked itself doing an OTA update, so I sent it back. I say "sent"... here's a rough timeline:
Monday @ 9am approx. - Called HTC
Monday @ 2pm approx. - Phone was picked up by courier!
Thursday - Received email to say the phone was fixed and was on the way back.
Monday @ 12 approx. - Received phone back from courier.
Bear in mind the Friday and second Monday were public holidays, so on a normal week I would have had it back on the Friday I think. As for the repair, they replaced the mainboard, shell and battery were original. I checked the hardware IDs etc, but HTC also confirmed the board replace when I called them.
All in all, I was quite satisfied. The only improvement would be to offer while you wait service by travelling to Milton Keynes and being in person.
That's pretty good. Far better than I received, here's my timeline.
Wk1 - Friday @ 10AM - Contacted HTC (Vibration Motor Failure) - Advised of 20+ days turnaround time due to repair centre re-location.
Wk2 - Tuesday @ Daytime - Handset picked up.
Wk3 -
Wk4 -
Wk5 -
Wk6 - Thursday @ 4PM - Contacted HTC to see where my handset was. Advised they had it and an engineer will look at it ASAP.
Wk7 - Tuesday @ Daytime - Courier returns handset. No notice given, luckily I had the day off.
Wk7 - Tuesday @ Daytime +1 - Contacted HTC - No repair made, vibration motor still faulty. Firmware updated to 2.36.405.8 - Advised of 20+ days turnaround, etc...
Wk7 - Tuesday @ Daytime +2 - Contacted Phones4U - Explained situation, got nowhere, reminded them of their responsibility under the Sale of Goods Act. "they are liable for repair, repair made in a reasonable timeframe, etc...." passed to "Written Complaints Team" they agreed with shocking turnaround and arranged a replacement.
Wk7 - Friday @ 10AM - Courier delivered brand new Desire HD.
Wk8 - Wednesday @ 9AM - Courier picked up faulty Desire HD.
Wk9 - Wednesday @ Daytime - Cheque of £50 through the post as compensation for my troubles. (I did not ask for this).

Yes agreed, but you are absolving them of responsibility by going it alone, which may make life more difficult for you in the long run.
Here is the reason I'm getting worried:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/05/18/htc_failed_support/
The phone cost so much in the first place that I figured it best to get it sorted as soon as.
All the posts I logged about not being able to allow apps root etc, turns out it was the touch panel the whole time.
Since December when i got the phone I was thinking it was just me
I dropped it into a Vodafone Ireland shop so if it gets lost or comes back with the same fault, at least I will have someone to argue with.
Am back to using my old Omnia i900. Man is this thing a donkey. Hope my HD makes it back to me soon in one 100% working piece.
To those who have rooted their device and needed repair, do you need to unroot and S-on your device before sending?

It wouldn't do you any harm, but in the UK at least they can't decline a hardware warranty claim because you've rooted
I just ran the stock RUU over mine before returning it.
11 days ago HTC emailed me to advise they had dispatched a new battery......guess what.......yep, nowt.
They were also delighted to inform me that they had dispatched an 8GB mSDHC card by way of compensation........genius. We had actually agreed on a 16GB card. Either way it has not arrived anyway.
Utter shambles from start to finish.
Just got a call from Vodafone to say my phone had come back from repair.
Going to head out and get it shortly. Will be interesting to see if its actually fixed.
I had a bad experience.. took them 45 days to sort out my phone.
It was sent in due to a camera blur, it blurred the right hand side. I got told it will be 5 working days... These days came and went, so I called them up, to be told it is on the priority list, which means it will be sent out asap (a couple of days). This time period came and went. Long story short, they kept telling me my phone will be sent out in the next couple of days, when really it was sat there waiting for a new camera to be delivered from Taiwan, which I found out about 30 days in.
In the end, I quote the sales and goods act, and pointed them to the direction of their terms and conditions, which state that in a delay, either party must notify the other, but they never notified me. And the Act which stated that a repair must be done in a reasonable time frame, else a replacement product must be issued.
After I sent them off a letter stating this, I had an email reply saying that my phone will be with me by next wednesday, which also came and went... on the Thirsday they rung me up, telling me a new, boxed HTC Desire HD will be sent out to me, I got that on the Friday. Makes me wonder why they didn't save time with all this messing around, read their own terms and conditions, plus check out the law before they built a repair centre!
Overall, I was glad I had a brand new phone, but annoyed with their level of service, and lack of answers. I even had Orange ringing them up requesting my phone be returned to be as they had broken the law.
Matt
Just been to collect the phone and just as well i tested it in store.
Still not fixed. All they did was reload the software!
So, its off for another repair now with alot more details added to the description.
Exactly what they did to mine, I don't understand the thought process of these "Engineers/Technicians". Repair notes state,
"Faulty Vibration Motor: Does not vibrate / distinct scratching noise when supposed to vibrate".
Somehow updating the software to 2.36.405.8 will fix an obvious hardware fault?
