Google charging me for nothing - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I emailed Google a while ago asking if I could get a replacement and they went through the whole process of telling me how to return my device and that I have 21 days. The next day u decided I dont want a replacement so I emailed them saying I didn't want one. They emailed back and said that's fine and they wouldn't charge me. 21 days later I got an email from them saying they charged me $270 something bucks! I'm nit sure what to do here. Any help would be appreciated

You need to actually call and talk to someone about this.

LOL! The notion of calling and talking to someone instead of posting on a forum.

I think you should post this on a few more forums. Don't call them!

same thing
at the add accessory page
thats because the ordering system with this phone is having technical difficulties, ordering on-phone will still ensure the internet price...
i wanted to see what accessories and prices where with it, wasnt going to order yet, will visit a store first to check it out in person. i never order sight unseen, have to play with it first

I was having the same problem. My theory is that Verizon was experiencing a system overload. I just kept trying, and finally got through the online order process at 11:30 this morning. I also ordered a pack of screen protectors, the windshield mount, and the desktop charging cradle.
I wasn't going to order it just yet I wanted to see the accessories first. Even when I went to the accessories page for the fascinate it came up bad page.

The windshield mount, and the cradle look really cool.

most likely if u order online or by call, ull get the overnight shipping option for free, and yes it should be there by sat 3pm. You can alway ask when ordering or chat with them while ordering.

Tmobile doesnt even sell the device, so anything you wanna do about an exchange or return gotta do it with best buy, but if it is a defect you can call samsung
After 30 days you're out of the return/exchange period unless you are a premiere member, you have 45 days. So you would have to deal with Samsung unless you have insurance with whomever you got it with.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
with samsung, a repair can last anywhere from 7-14 business days says the rep lady.
I don't know about you guys but on the receipt when I bought mine, it says that all gift purchases have an extended return/extended policy until January 31st... hope it works for this.
I know but u know how fones have aa one yr warranty... lets say down the year like
In the summer something goes wrong ... so its Samsung I should call.??? Like I know T-Mobile when a phones starting to mess up they troubleshoot it and send another one...who or where would I have to do this after my 30 days...sorry if I'm not that clear on it

Then you wait until there's actually a problem before you start worrying.

Well I just tried and they told me I have to go to repair center to diagnose the phone. Now I'm not sure if I wanna go there because that means I'll have to put my phone back to stock but if this really works I'll definetely do it.

OOOoooo, sounds shady and unethical.
Craigslist, (still shady but more ethical ) , ftw
Here's the Secret,
1. Sign up for TEP
2. Use the phone for two calls
3. Brick your phone on purpose by erasing the bootloader
4. send it in for TEP and request a Nexus S

He wants the attention
Just got shot down. Said I had I power button issue and ****ty service. They said I needed to have my epic replaced 3 times before I wo9uld qualify for a nexus. I'm pretty slick. I've gotten replacements for nothing before, and I didn't mention the nexus until she did. Instead, she made me a service ticket and told me to take it to a corperate service center, since I told her I had been told to call the hotline by a 3rd party store.
I guess ill try again another day.

[Q] RMA for the nexus 4

Is RMA like swapping out a faulty device for a new one through Google? How does it work? If my screen just one day doesn't turn on after having the phone for 6 months will they replace it for free? Do they send you a new device then you send your faulty one back? Or vice versa?

OK. In the UK, you ring Google Play, they send you an email with an RMA attachment and create a special order for you in your google wallet. You then order your new device and they take an authorisation on your card (they dont actually take the money, just "allocate" it to them, should you not return your faulty device), then they send you a new device and you send your old faulty one back to them within 21 days using their free TNT service that comes in the bag with your new replacement device.
So...
1) Ring google, they give you RMA attachment to print out
2) Order your device through the special order they have set up for you
3) Ensure you have a card with money on it so they can allocate it as security
4) When new device arrives, you have 21 days to return the old one to them (with the RMA you printed off in step 1) or they will take the allocated money off your card.
Hope it helps

No problem mate
EDIT: I should add that they will allocate the full cost of the handset until they receive the old one back. Then they will release that "hold" on that amount within 14 days (In reality they have released the hold on all three of my RMA devices before they even received the device back)
If you have got a cracked back for example, they will still exchange it, but they will bill you the cost of the smashed glass back.
Little chips and scratches they are not bothered about as the phones go to be refurbed, so as long as the back and front are "unsmashed" you will get all your money no sweat.

No, my USB port was acting faulty on the one I have now.
^ Fair enough.. I am shocked to see they are replacing the device even after 6 months of ownership to the customer. Seems like that 15 day return policy turned into 1 year return policy after their disastrous launch!

The 15 day policy is for a refund. Then a 1yr replacement policy.

Replacement device

Has anyone received a replacement device after the 14 days, if so was it a new phone. My phone started acting up the night of the 14 days. I went to the store that morning and was told the phone would be mailed as a like new device due to the warranty and since the phone is only 2 weeks, a new device will be sent out. I know this is not true but wanted to check with you guys.
I have to say it is way to early to start getting refurbished phones. Maybe 2-3momths in.

It will be delivered today and will post my finding.
So it was a refurbished phone, so I called the store and asked my did they wast my time and theirs bow making if 3 days past the 14 day return policy. They apologized and said they will exchange for a new phone in the store.
No idea what you are saying with all of those autocorrect errors. Yikes. You might want to consider changing to a different keyboard...
But if they are going to replace in store, that is good.
