Anyone seen the WP7 update come thu their Quantum yet? - Quantum General

If you have, how did it go?

came thru on tuesday, update took about 15 minutes, no problems.
I'm on bell
and the phone has been unlocked with chevronwp7

Not here yet.
I'm on AT&T. Haven't heard anyone on AT&T getting it yet (on any device), but that's in California and I mostly know Samsung Focus users.
Given AT&T's track record of pushing updates, I'm guessing they'll skip this.
If the "update policy" rumor is correct, AT&T can skip one update, but must apply the next one. So, NoDo would be deployed... however, AT&T customers must hope Microsoft pushes a micro-update between NoDo and Mango to make AT&T push Mango!

I'm on Bell in Ontario and I got mine on the 21st when it came out.
However it didn't notify me on my phone, the Zune software told me when I hooked it up to the computer.
And the update went as smoothly as could be! Looking forward to Mar 8!

In Ohio on AT&T...no upgrade yet grrr.
Jason

anyone on Telstra Aus have updated yet ?

I recently just got my LG Quantum, how do I know if I have the latest update because I know that ATT said that they were shipping them with the latest, but that doesn't mean a thing to me!

Ohio and AT&T as well, no update. :c

For those of you that got the update can you check what your device is branded as?
I debranded and thought I would get it but maybe if I could use the Bell one I could get it?

Which update you're talking about?
is it Pre-NoDo or NoDo?

I finally got pre-nodo!!!
I finally got my pre-nodo, so i figure thats a start. I dont think NODO has been released for the Quantum in the US yet. I tried using that link that apparently works for the focus... tried for 6 hrs, duno if I was doing it wrong or if it actually has be unlocked and not just de-branded. BUUUT I did find out what LG's official response is on de-branding your phone, technically it does not void the warranty unless the problem is directly related to changing the setting. So id say if you cant get that working, just debrand and wait for it to be released for the quantum via microsoft, and forget about waiting on AT&T. Skip the middle man so-to-speak. Thats what I did, and i finally got my pre-nodo update last night even though AT&T hasnt released it.
I checked and asked directly as you can see. I did in online through their online customer service chat. copy and pasted here.
10:17 AM Gustavo: Hello Guest. Welcome to LG Electronics! How may I provide you with excellent service today?
10:18 AM Guest: Id like to know if I go through the phones built in software and debrand my phone, will it void the warrenty
10:18 AM Guest: ???
10:18 AM Gustavo: Glad to help out here.
10:19 AM Gustavo: Let me type in for you how warranty works with LG.
10:19 AM Gustavo: Every LG phone and device has a one year limited warranty which starts from the date of purchase, or original purchase (If it was a replacement that is), unless you purchased a refurbished phone which has only 90 days of warranty.
10:19 AM Gustavo: If you would need to send the phone or device to LG, we will perform a cover to cover check on the device to see what the issue is, if our technicians find that the issue is caused by any type of physical, liquid, or cosmetic damage on the device then fees will be applied, at this point you will be notified via email or through a phone call before doing any repairs.
10:19 AM Gustavo: As well, this warranty will not cover the device if it was purchased through a non authorized LG dealer, such as E-bay, newegg, craiglist, etc…; if our technicians determine that the issue is a manufacturer’s defect, the device will be repaired or replaced by a certified refurbish unit.
10:19 AM Gustavo: I should let you know as part of the service process that if the phone was manufactured over 3 years ago, we can no longer service the device due to the fact that we would no longer carry parts to be able to service older models I am afraid.
10:20 AM Gustavo: This process has a turn around time of 5 to 7 business days, from the day that our technicians start working on your device.
10:20 AM Gustavo: If the issue was caused by something other than a manufacturing defect, warranty will not cover for repair costs.
10:20 AM Gustavo: Meaning... if an issue happens to the phone due to messing with the software or internal settings
10:20 AM Gustavo: Warranty will not cover the issue.
10:20 AM Gustavo: You would have to part for the repairs.
10:20 AM Gustavo: You would have to pay for the repairs.*
10:21 AM Guest: ok, then tell me this...
10:21 AM Gustavo: Sure.
10:22 AM Guest: if a problem occurs with the phone after tampering with internal settings, but the problem is not caused by changing those settings, as in it is determined that the issue was a manufacturing defect, would changing those settings void the warranty?
10:23 AM Gustavo: If the issue was caused by a manufacturing defect and the phone is under the 1 year warranty time period. LG will cover the costs.
10:23 AM Gustavo: But if tampering with the software causes any sort of malfunction.
10:23 AM Gustavo: Well..
10:23 AM Gustavo: That would not be covered for I am afraid.
10:24 AM Guest: of course
10:24 AM Gustavo: The software in the phone was developed by Windows for this model
10:24 AM Gustavo: With combination of AT&T.
10:24 AM Gustavo: Some features might not work if you start to change functions for internal settings.
10:25 AM Guest: problem is AT&T can refuse to give us updates for the phone by leaving it in the "testing" phase, like they have done with the FEB update
10:26 AM Guest: and while they are required to push the next update and the push is supposed to include all previous updates, if they keep updates in "testing" for months on end just because they make more off of us by getting us to upgrade to a newer phone, we - the end users suffer.
10:27 AM Gustavo: I understand/
10:27 AM Guest: and unless im mistaken, once an update is released for the phone by microsoft on Zune, by debranding the phone, we would recieve the update, whether or not AT&T wants us to recieve it or not, correct?
10:28 AM Gustavo: That part I do not know for sure since AT&T sends out the updates as part of the service.
10:29 AM Gustavo: If you mess with settings you could end up changing service settings and that will most likely disable features.
10:29 AM Gustavo: Including updates.
10:29 AM Guest: Thats the thing, AT&T doesnt give out the updates OTA, we recieve all updates via ZUNE
10:29 AM Guest: OTA just allows the phone to update once AT&T decides its ok
10:29 AM Gustavo: Correct.
10:29 AM Guest: at least with WP7
10:29 AM Gustavo: Unfortunatly that part is up to AT&T.
10:30 AM Gustavo: We have no say in that part since software and service are part of the carriers responsability.
10:30 AM Gustavo: LG developed the hardware.
10:30 AM Guest: Thank you so much for your help
10:31 AM Gustavo: No problem at all.
10:31 AM Gustavo: Thank you for understanding.

AT&T does not have to push the update if they keep it in the testing phase. and if they "say" they are having "problems" with it, then they dont push it and we wait longer. They could feasibly wait untill mango before we get NODO - thats why i just did a debrand - now i dont wait for AT&T to ok it, once its released for my phone, I get it.

Motorola has amazing customer service

So recently I have been noticing that my back button has not been working. I will go to press it and it will be unresponsive while the "home" and "recent apps" button and the rest of the touch screen are responsive. Went to motorola's support site and filled out a repair request. They overnighted me a phone (new in box, with a new charger and everything) and sent me a box and label to send my old phone (only, no box or charger) back to them. I am charged $0 for shipping and everything.
I got my phone on October 31st, not sure why the back button was not working but hoping I don't have the same issue on this one.
About the best customer service experience I've seen in a long time.
Mine does the same thing sometimes but only when on a charger. It's weird. Might have to see if Moto will help me out with that too.
Impressive. I did not have anywhere near that experience, in fact they wanted to put a deposit of $500 for them to regular mail me a phone prior to me sending mine back. As far as the buttons go, I've had that experience with this turbo and every samsung I've touched, must just be my fingers.
Had an issue with my turbo. Overnighted me a new one in box with all accessories. Told me to keep mine too. I had to do the security deposit of $500 but didn't care. Amazing customer service. They didn't pester me for receipts or anything either. Customer service is why I'll never purchase another HTC again.
same issue
I have currently that issue but it happens every once in a while and not so often. I found out how to get it working again right away. mostly happens to me when i browse online on chrome , so what I do is when i get no response i just swipe up and down the current page im on and then the button reacts once again.

That's fantastic news. But I was wondering why you went to Motorola and not Verizon? Does motorola do brand new and Verizon does refurbished? I'm probably one of the rare ones that actually doesn't mind refurbish phones because in my mind it's been inspected more times? I don't know lol

I had to put a deposit as well. I had them put in writing that if when they receive the phone they "claim" physical damage I will receive a phone call or email from them and then have the choice to either:
1. Pay for the "repair" of my phone
2. Pay the $500
3. Have them ship back my old phone with shipping box/label for the one they sent me (I will not be charged shipping)

I bought the phone off contract and I don't have an insurance plan on it (Verizon screwed me on that). I don't like Verizon's customer service, it's horrible. Plus, in this situation they really have no obligation to help me since I bought the phone full retail.
Agree with Op.
Ask for the White Glove dept too.

I do not believe Vzw FRUs come from Motorola. My current xt 1080 Maxx FRU was my upgrade by the white glove dept.
Packaging of the moto FRU is unique.
No bad HW either.
Vzw Frus are notoriously bad.

I'll keep that in mind next time I have a issue. Ive had pretty good luck with Vzw but sounds like moto is the smarter choice.
Sent from my XT1254 using XDA Free mobile app
After returning two handsets to verizon, in an attempt to solve the volume problem, i decided to just do an RMA with Motorola after reading this post. Each of the two times i appemted to get a replacement from verizon, they sent me a refurbished phone in worse condition. And, in the end, it appears that my issues was software related and fixed, and i would have been fine with the original. Presently, I am stuck with a device that has a worse volume problem, as well as a dent. Thanks verizon. So, hopefully Motorola comes through.
You're lucky you got good service. I have had an insanely bad experience multiple times dealing with an accessory of theirs.
Any way to tell if a phone is refurbished or not? I just got my replacement and I am curious to find out

Motorola customer support

This is my experience with Motorola customer support.
My wife bought a Moto X 2014 in Dec. Around the end of January here charger stopped working correctly and would not charge the phone. I figured out it was the charger b/c her phone would charge perfectly fine on my OnePlus One charger.
I first got in contact with Motorola on February 5th. I explained the situation and they guy was very nice and got my shipping address and said it will take 3 to 5 days.
Two weeks later still no charger. So I called back. Gave the lady the reference number the guy had gave me. She could not find anywhere in their system that a charger was even going to be sent out. She apologized and what not. After several holds later she said I would have to be escalated to a higher department and was put on hold again. She then came back and said the department was closed and they would call me in 24 to 36 hours.
I waited 4 business days and never got a call back. I then called again. This time I asked for a supervisor. She was also very apologetic and assured me like all the other reps I had talked to that Motorola strives for excellent customer support. She read me my address in the account to confirm everything and the address was way wrong. I had spelt it out to the previous reps and they had still managed to screw it up. We'll I spelt it out again for her and at the end of the call she said she would have to call me back after she had talked to the shipping department or something. She said it would be 30min.
At the 2 hour mark I decided to call back. For those keeping track this is my 4th call. This time a supervisor wasn't present to talk to me so they connected me with an administrator. She assured me that the problem would be taken care of. I don't remember the exact details of that call.
Later that night I get a call back from Motorola saying for my trouble they were going to send out a Turbo Charger and also because they don't have any of the regular charges in Stock. I found it a bit weird that they don't have any regular chargers in Stock, but whatever at this point.
Well today I got an email with a tracking number for the charger. But guess what. They still have my address incorrect so in the morning I have to contact FedEx to see what can be done. How in the world do they still have my address incorrect. It boggles my mind.
Long story short. We will never purchase another Motorola product again, and I hope we never have a problem with the actual phone.
I also know that this may seem a bit silly fussing over a charger when I can buy a third party charger cheap from Amazon, but that charger was part of the price of the phone. Not to mention later on if something were to happen to the battery in the phone I don't want Motorola saying that because I used a third party charger that they won't honor the warranty.

Your post is really hard to read b/c of the lack of paragraph breaks so I stopped reading it. But I will say this, with Motorola if the Indian reps are not giving you good customer service, you need to ask to be transferred to a rep in the US. The US reps are much better at solving problems. The Indian reps don't know what they are talking about more than 1/2 of the time.

Fixed it a bit. Hopefully little easier to read.
Good to know that I can ask to talk to reps in the US. Already contacted FedEx and they will hold it at the nearest location for me. Unfortunately that is 30min from where I live.

This is the US call center she was trying to get you to. They are only open M-F until 10pm central time and I am not sure about the weekend hours.

Honestly, after only 4 calls you got a $35 turbo charger for free. If it were me, I would be happy and feel like that was good customer service as I have experienced far worse customer service and never gotten anything for free from Samsung.
The turbo chargers are great!!!

I agree with this. I've had far worse experiences with other manufacturers, and some displeasing ones with Moto as well. I've never received anything for free or even an apology for simple processes like moving my Extended Protection from one device to another when I needed a warranty replacement taking a week and 3 calls. After the third call I got the email with the new PDF in minutes.
Your lucky, I am getting my phone replaced by Motorola but I have moved house in between buying the phone and now and they can not send the new phone to my new address.
I have gave them until the end of today to sort it out and if not then I'm off to the small claims court here in the UK

It wasn't the US call center. It was around 7pm central time when she claimed the department was closed. I honestly think she said that just to get me off the phone.
And as I said, even though they said originally that I was getting the turbo charger b/c of the trouble I was having. It was really b/c they couldn't send me a regular charger.

i believe they recently cut the hours. the website still shows 10pm. however, yesterday i tried to call the 800-734-5870 number around 6pm central time, but only reached a recording that stated that they are available 9am-5pm eastern time now.
Its funny how some people are so calm and make it sound like someone should be grateful because a company gave a comp!
When I am sure he just wanted a charger that works.
What some of you are minimizing is Motorola's customer support is the worst!
Broken English reps in Manilla trying to fix issues and provide customer support?
They take forever, plastic empathy, and never take customer support to the next level.
Mediocre at best.
For those that remember Motorola marketed the 1st gen Moto X on US built! But then ship the customer support out of country?
So for those acting so calm and non concerned just hoping your next call to customer support is better!
45 min and 7 reps and still don't have issues resolved!

i'm sad about all the outsourcing as well. i bought my moto because it was the only phone assembled in the USA, then they quit and i got a box labeled china.
i feel his pain. i'm still waiting on my $546 refund. this is for a deposit on a broken phone i sent in for replacement in december. i got fed up with calling and got the money back by filing a dispute with my credit card company instead. had my money back in 5 minutes, then i gave up calling motocare. but 3 months now for a refund? i did finally get an email from them a few days ago. indicates they are 3 weeks behind and seem genuinely apologetic...but it's been three months. i run a business. delays and excuses would leave me broke in a hurry.
being a glutton for punishment, i sent my replacement phone in for a warranty replacement yesterday. i've never dropped or spilled on it, but the power button is sticking. every time i want to end a call or turn off the screen, the button sticks and the phone shuts off. i currently have no phone until they ship mine back. no more "Advanced Replacement" headaches for me thanks. i'd prefer to go without a phone than deal with that again. no more calling for support either. i used the website, printed a label, stuck a note to the phone, and shipped it off.
shame about the charger. i have four of them sitting here now collecting dust. every time i send a phone back, they send me one with a new charger and cord. maybe that's why they're out of them?

i honestly believe it has more to do with Lenovo owning them. hopefully it gets sorted out. i like motorola. the call centers suck. sears is the same way. they bounced me around from department to department and then lost all record of contact with me allowing the refund time period to be exceeded and basically told me to F off. I walked into Sears so mad i was shaking, not sure why i was there, and knowing i would only be leaving with $300 or in hand cuffs. the people in the store were great and basically gave me my money just because they knew how useless their overseas call centers were.
if you PM me your address, i'll send you one of my Moto X chargers. i think i have four now. one black and three white. I broke two screens and both replacement phones came with the factory dual USB chargers, cord, sim tool, book, box, etc. i have two white ones, new and never used. if you're in the USA, i'll send one out tomorrow. i'll even pay shipping. the post office is across the street from me so it's no inconvenience.

Thanks for the offer, but I was able to have FedEx hold the package before it was sent to the wrong address, and we now have the turbo charger.
And for those who said I was getting a free charger. I had to drive 68 miles round trip to the nearest FedEx location to get it because they couldn't get my address correct even with me literally spelling it out for them. That's time and gas I had to spend.
Almost forgot, because of the address being wrong that was another call they forced me to make. I had to call FedEx support which was also out of India. They too gave me incorrect information saying that the FedEx location would hold the package for up to 5 days. The lady from the FedEx location that called this morning informed me they would only hold it till Friday, but she made it sound like I really needed to get it today.

People *****ed and moaned over the Motorola customer service when Google owned them, too. Go to the Samsung, HTC, LG, etc. forums and you will find people *****ing and moaning about their customer service, too.
People just like to ***** and moan about their first world problems. Oh poor me, I had to make 4 phone calls about my broken charger and all I got for it was a working charger that is superior to the one I had. These chargers are mass produced in china and cost $10 on ebay if that. For crying out loud, buy another one and don't be so cheap if your time is so valuable to you. I spend more than $10 on lunch most days.

You obviously have a very different view of what good customer service is from most people. I really didn't even want the Turbo Charger because I'm still not totally convinced that it won't degrade the battery faster. At this point my wife doesn't even care and is just going to use it. I even told the reps that I would even buy a new charger if I could have. Motorola however does not sell their standard charger.
Oh and by the way. I wasn't compensated for my time. That was only what they said at first. Then when I started questioning about the standard charger it came out that they couldn't send me one b/c they didn't have any. To me the fact you can't buy a standard charger on the site, plus what they were telling me leads me to believe you can only get a standard charger when it's bundled with the phone. They don't have a way of processing it by itself and it doesn't have a retail packaging containing the necessary paper work since it only ships with the phone.
As for buying a charger on eBay, I wanted to make sure that I was getting the same charger that came with the phone so that they couldn't say later if there was a problem with the battery that b/c I used a different charger they wouldn't honor the warranty.
Speaking of warranties, the way you talk why even have them. The charger that came with the phone is under the same warranty. Are you saying that I shouldn't use my warranty? One call to the warranty department is all it should have took, not four calls with the first two being nothing but lies since nothing was actually put into the computers those times. Warranties are there to protect customers from buying factory defective units.

It is a no questions asked warranty service unless the phone has physical damage due to a drop or water immersion. I have never heard of Motorola saying they wouldn't replace a battery before. Don't be so paranoid.

If it were the phone that broke, it would be worth it to me as the phone is hundreds of dollars to replace. The OEM charger is $8 on ebay. I spend more than that on lunch most days, actually probably every day.

What I am saying is you are either really cheap, really paranoid, or your time is far less valuable to you than mine is to me. Or perhaps a combination of all 3 idk. But for an $8 part, I am buying it off of ebay and then I am done with it. I spend more than $8 on lunch most days, actually probably every day.

Yep, and when it took 4 calls they upgraded you from an $8 charger to a $35 charger. That's great customer service in my book!!!!!

Yeah great customer service since they shipped it to the wrong address, or did you miss that part. And it wasn't just a misspelling it was a totally different Street name. And like I said that was after i literally spelled it for them.
Listen the whole intention I had behind my first post was to show what other people should probably expect when calling them. No, not everyone will get this type of service, but I just wanted to let people know how it might be.

I agree that the off shoring of customer service centers to India is a problem. The Indian reps are hard to understand and have difficulty understanding us. But it is the same with my American Express.
Apple is nice b/c you talk to Americans but you pay a lot more for an Apple phone than a Motorola phone usually. At least for me that is true b/c I got mine on the Cyber Monday sale.

You sound like you work for Motorola, do you?
I had a problem with my Moto X and because I moved house between buying the phone and now they said that the replacement phone has to be sent to my old address and that there was no way the address could be changed. So if you buy a Motorola and you think you may need to use the warranty then you better not be moving house.
The problem I had with my phone was one of the speaker grilles was lost and all I wanted to do was for them to send me a new one but they said that they couldn't do that and that the phone would have to be replaced. Then I had the debacle about the address so they said that I could send the phone back for a refund and I could then buy a new phone. I told them repeatedly that all I wanted was a speaker grille but no that would be too easy. In the end I just bought a replacement grille myself and it will be here next week.
For the time being I am using the speaker grills from a Nexus 6 and although I didn't really like the smooth finish at first I now think they are better than the ribbed ones in the X and I also ordered a few different coloured backs and M logo rings for the phone so that I can change the colour when I get a little bored with the black.
I'm not saying that there costumer care is bad but they are stupid in the way they conduct their warranties.
Personally if I got the run around that the op got I would be more than pissed off with them.

me too. i get it. i don't know why the $8 lunch guy doesn't. they screw up, can't commit on time, pass you around, and lose your case history. all while making up excuses and apologizing.
my last email regarding my 3 month wait to get a deposit back, which still has never been processed:
>>
I am reaching out to you about your long delay of your refund. However looking deeper into this I have come across on our end that they are 3 weeks behind on processing refunds.They are working fast as they can they know how important you are as our Motorola Customer. I do apologize for this. Moving forward I will keep you updated on when you will see your money back to you. I have sent an email to my upper financial team to see what is going on. Thank you for your patience. Soon as I hear anything I will update you.
<<
i don't know why 3 weeks for them = 3+ months for me, but i have about 20 messages like that.
still, i like moto. i just hope they get their act together in the future. the call centers aren't all in india BTW. i got a guy that sounded like a black american teenager. his english was very good and when i asked, he told me he was in Equador.

I don't know of any phone manufacturer that would send out parts under a warranty for the user to do the service themselves.

Design Refresh/Green Line Issue

I have been unfortunate enough to be plagued by the vertical green line issue on my screen, and am thinking about just using my Design Refresh to replace the phone rather than dealing with a warranty claim. My question is that when Motorola receives my old phone when I send it back, will they not refund me for the new phone due to my old one not being in "undamaged" condition? Has anyone done what I am proposing before? Thanks in advance.
bought my first turbo 2 on black friday 2015 by mid december it had an issue with the charging port. At the end of January I went through moto directly rather than big red had a new (refurb) phone in about a week. Fast forward about a month and the Green Line of death showed up. decided id give big red a turn at making it right. They claimed my (less than 4 months old) phone was outside its year manufacturer warranty and that I'd have to purchase a new one. Spent about an hour arguing with claim support and they're overnight shipping me a new turbo 2 tonight. I wouldn't waste the refresh on a defective lcd. According to the moto forums the popular opinion is that they have a bad run of lcd's floating around. will post a link to the thread when i find it again later tonight. I'm at work so i do not have time to forum crawl for it again right now.

cant post links yet pm me i have the links i mentioned earlier
I had no problems getting a warranty replacement on my device from Verizon. I initially was going to go through Motorola but I would be charged $25 dollars to have the phone shipped to me first before sending the old device back so I decided to go through Verizon. I didnt have the issue with the display but my phone would randomly shut off even at full charge. I brought it in, told them my problem and they had a replacement phone shipped to me next day, free of charge.

Please help me. I broke my phone.

I recently broke one of the sim contact pins on my moto g4 xt1625 sim card reader holder now my phone won't read the sim I need help on where to buy a new sim card reader holder, i searched everywhere and I can not find a place to buy.
contact motorola for a repair provided the device isnt bootloader unlocked
.
they will likely do a free repair if its in warranty.
motorola support chat post:
daniel: oh one question
daniel: so i can give a proper responce to some one asking about a hardware issue
daniel: if they some how damaged the sim slot they should contact you and request warrany repair.
SaiKiran: Okay.
daniel: provided they didnt void their warranty
daniel: by unlocking bootloader or other actions
SaiKiran: I would like to inform you that if there is any physical or liquid damages to the device and requested a repair to the device to get the issue fixed,The warranty will not be covered.
daniel: but i assume motorola would still likely be the cheapest route
SaiKiran: The warranty will be covered only if there are no physical or liquid damages.
daniel: the person said they some how broke a pin in the sim slot
daniel: wich would be hard if not impossable to do
daniel: on purpose
daniel: though if they had the dual sim that woiuldnt be a real issue
SaiKiran: In that case,I suggest you to send the device for repair.
After requesting the repair to the device, Our repair department will examine the device and they let you know the exact issue with the device.

Flash Factory Image of lower os to bypass frp?

I recently received a Nexus 6P purchased through eBay that is FRP. I've contacted the seller to no avail to resolve the issue and have done research online for other frp bypass but was thinking, would flashing the factory image of an older os(currently on 7.1.2) reset the device completely to the point where I'd be able to setup my google account on this device?
Contact me on WhatsApp +4917679770581. Or Telegram under the username vortex_gamerz. I will help you to get through the FRP Lock (Bypass)

I'm pretty sure both yours and the original post violate the terms of this forum.
Bypassing FRP and discussing it violates the terms because the phone can be stolen.

Doesn't eBay have buyer protection? The fact the the previous owner didn't remove FRP would indicate that the phone is probably stolen. Even if you unlock it, there is a possibility that the device is blacklisted. Contact eBay.

I believe that FRP bypass discussing and actually resolving must be legitimate for several reasons.
First of all, I don't think that eBay allows to sell stolen goods. Secondly, I'm dealing with insurance companies and sellers who are re-selling broken insurance write-off or simply badly damaged phones. I can assure that 99.5% of Android users don't know how / why to remove / untether their broken phones from Google account. Or simply having a new phone, they just don't bothered with "old" broken one or just lazy. Other 0.5% of Android users know about FRP issue but believe that once the phone is smashed / broken, there is nothing can be done (FRP lock can't be removed anymore). This is a sad truth.
