One the device is fully wiped, its nearly impossible. If you have problems, contact LG from the warranty info because there the only ones that'll repair the device under the one year warranty.
Good luck.

I also have a couple of questions about this. Are the RMA devices that are shipped out by Google usually Refurbished devices? Has anyone who have had RMA devices found any defects in them? and Can I just send back the RMA unit if I find that it has worse problems than my current unit? Thanks.

And to answer your last question i do not see any reason why you wouldnt be able to send it back if it has problems because when you bought your device from google you entered a legally binding contract where you pay for the device and they have to send you the goods you paid for which is a fully functional device so yeah if the 2nd one is defective just let them know

Nexus 4 replacement any luck?

Hey,
Is anyone be able to get replacement from playstore, if so is it pending or did you got the tracking number?
Since I got the device has a cracked close to the camera, I place a replacement yesterday and still didn't got my tracking number its showing as pending. When I place replacement order the CSR told me that they have enough device for replacement. Today I called them whats going on, and they are telling me that they don't have stock so its basically we are in backorder.
Can anyone clarify this.
Thanks
that sounds like you're SOL buddy... sorry
I don't know what the status is. My camera LED does not work, so I phoned in early Wednesday morning (5:30 a.m. EST) and arranged for a replacement. The email acknowledgment I got said "Less than one week" for "Estimated ship." I haven't heard anything further.

so no tracking number or anything, did you try to call them. cause we have only 15days for replacement
I requested a replacement on Tuesday, and it's still pending for me. I'm not complaining though, since I still have my Nexus 4. I don't really care if it takes 2 or 3 weeks for the replacement to get to me, as long as it's fulfilled, I'm a happy camper.
I requested a replacement Tuesday night because there is a small crack or hole in the backlight that looks like dead pixels but it's under the LCD and I got the same ships in less than a week but it's still pending in the play store

I know but I don't install all the apps I need, then start over again. It would be a hassle so was wondering if they send us ASAP.

My call on Wednesday requesting an RMA exchange was less than 24 hours after I received the phone, well within 15 days. Anyhow, this is a warranty issue, which means I have a year, not 15 days.
If I haven't heard anything by middle of next week, I'll follow up with them, given the "less than a week" timeframe they quoted.

Isn't the warranty through lg? Meaning you will have to send it to lg for repair or replacement? Going through Google during the 15 day period let's you replace it through Google.
Ifvit is before the 15 days why is it a warranty issue?
sent via xda premium with nexus 7
Beats me. All I know is it's a defective unit, I called up Google support, and they're sending me a replacement. If at some point in the future Google tells me I need to talk to LG about defects, I'll talk to LG.
at least with the nexus 7, the benefit of buying from Google Play rather than buying from a store was that the play orders would be managed by Google if there was any warranty issues, whereas the store orders were managed by ASUS themselves.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but when you place an order for a replacement unit, RMA, Google places a hold for the full price of the phone on your account, in this case 384 dollars. Until the defective phone is returned, correct?
If so, are you guys with RMAs going to have an extra 384 taken out until you received the replacement.
I have a defective unit, my earpiece does not work, but I don't have an extra 384 dollars to let Google borrow while they send me a replacement unit god knows when.
Also, are RMAs brand new in box? Or refurbished units?

yea but you have to send in your device to lg, and that might take weeks to get your phone back.

This early, they would be new but once they have refurb stock in then expect refurbs.
They're brand new. Google wants the box with all your accessories when you send it back.

URGENT: Need Help ASAP

Hi,
I bought a brand new and sealed 16GB unlocked nexus 4 off ebay from somebody who purchased it through the play store.
After using the device for a few days now, I've noticed that the Bluetooth keeps dropping. I've emailed google who've said they'll take the phone in to check it out and perhaps send a replacement. However, they said since I wasn't the original buyer of the phone, I wouldn't be covered by the warranty as it only covers the person in the name that the phone was bought.
Has anyone had any similar issues, or do you have any advice on what I can do?
Nice the item was new I can't return it tithe seller as he isn't liable for such faults.
Please help. Thanks

Bluetooth dropping............ flash a custom ROM / kernel.
software problem not hardware
I would have to agree with the post above me. I would try to fix it with software before trying to to get it repaired/replaced with Google. It's what this forum is for!
Pretty common when buying from scalpers on eBay. Even though it may be unopened, you are buying a "pre-owned" device sold by a private party and not an authorized retailer.

Replacement process

My launch-day Nexus 4 has the rattling and earpiece buzzing problem and I'm interested in getting a replacement to see if they have resolved the issues.
I'm curious as to what the replacement process entails for this phone? Do I go through Google Play or LG? Do I have to send it back first or do they send one first? Also, do they sent out refurbished models or new ones?

The process is that you call Google, they set up an RMA if they feel it's a hardware problem. You don't contact LG, EVER. The just of it is you phone google, they troubleshoot the problem. If they feel this is a defect, not as a result of carelessness.
(Basically I'm telling you, if you phone in, you can't say you've ever dropped it, and that it's had this problem since day one. I'd go as far to say that you "may have used your friends' Nexus and found that his doesn't do the same and sounds clearer on calls")
They will give you an RMA number, and email you a printable UPS label, at this point, you may send your phone back, using the free UPS label, back. At the same time they issue you this label, they put in a request that a brand new unit be shipped to you. If your phone is still functional, keep your phone, and wait for the new one to arrive, then ship yours out the day you get the new one. You have 30 days to return your old phone once the new one ships. If you fail to return the old phone, they charge the new one to your google account.

According to Google, you only have 15 days from the date of delivery to request a replacement or refund. Beyond 15 days, you have to contact LG.

Replacements
Within 15 days of delivery, if you happen to receive a defective device that you'd like to exchange for a functioning device, please email our support team. They'll work with you on next steps and connect you directly to our partners for replacement options.
If you have configured your phone as a virtual wallet, using Google Wallet as a form of payment, prepare to switch devices.
As a precondition of replacement, Google may remotely disable the damaged device which is to be returned to Google, with the consent of the purchaser.
Regular warranty service and out of warranty repairs

Edit: Apparently, after 15 days, you still have to contact Google customer support. The service is no longer done by Google Play though, it's based on your LG 12 month warranty.

Huawei Warranty

I purchased a Nexus 6P through Best Buy (US) during May of last year and just recently have encountered a problem with the volume up button being stuck and the power button not locking the phone. These weren't caused by dropping the phone or any specific occurrence like that as far as I can remember. My screen has also been cracked for a while, but that was a separate issue. I called Huawei to check if the button issue is covered by the warranty and they said to fill out a ticket and send pictures and they would let me know. The problem is that I also have a one year warranty through Best Buy, but it would have a service charge attached and I wouldn't be getting a 6P; they would send me a gift card instead. I'd rather have the 6P repaired or replaced than have to buy a different phone through Best Buy, but if it takes too long for Huawei to assess whether or not the phone is under warranty, then the warranty for both will expire and I won't have either. Does anyone have any advice regarding this situation or experience with what Huawei will cover under their warranty?

Personally I'd go the Best Buy route and get a different phone.
I had a bootloop of death - Google turned me down because I was out of warranty, I was transferred to Huawei, who said I was also out of warranty with them as well. They offered a "repair/replace" service for $164.00 since this has been a known and problematic issue. They told me I would have the phone in 10 business days - for which it would be repaired or, they would just send me a new one to replace it. I just got the device today; its brand news. Battery is good capacity, so far no bugs - we will see though. All and all - if you end up getting the repair/replace option and you can afford to pay the extra cash for a phone you already spent a bunch of extra cash on.... it was worth it.

Hello,
I don't really want to read all the page, so I'll leave it to you: http://consumer.huawei.com/us/support/warranty-policy/mobile-phone/index.htm
Considering your N6P is almost one year old and all the problems surrounding​ the device at the moment:
Bootloop of death
Defective batteries
I'm not sure if it's worth it. It could last forever, but also fail next month when your warranty will be over...
If you don't loose much between the "service charge" and the Best Buy gift card, I would go that route and start looking for a new device. But that's just me...
Good luck...

Hello,
I would have kept trying and call Google/Huawei. A lot of people got it repaired/replaced even though their warranty ended...
Cheers...
I agree, to keep hammering them for a replacement is the right move. One thing to keep in mind is many of the recent reports about interactions with Huawai have indicated they seem to be trending towards playing hardball. Sooner than later would be my advice on working them for a replacement.

I did hammer google for a couple weeks to no avail - now that I have charged the new Nexus 6p from Huawei I have am pleased to report the replacement device they sent me is as good as it was when it was brand new. The device has zero battery degradation, and hasn't had a battery shutdown problem at all even though I was trying to trigger it through going on a walk in the cold this morning while suddenly using the camera. Other than the headache of losing a few pictures and spend $164 that I shouldn't have had to spend in the first place for a hardware malfunction...... I am very pleased to be rocking a solid Nexus 6p

Huawei was nothing but quick and efficient with my order. They didn't grant me an out of warranty replacement, but they did get me a new device within a week of their shop receiving it. Also, for posterity, they sent me a Huawei brand pen. HAHAHA. That kinda added insult to injury - just the same - I wouldn't believe all the complaints about Huawei's lack of costumer service - they were quick in all my interactions with them.

Hey,
They were just "quick" to ask you some money and nothing else... For something you shouldn't have had to pay for. That's all I see here.
Did you get someone/something telling you it won't ever happen again? Or did they/it also said: goodbye, see you next year? Since they didn't acknowledge the issue, no one knows if they ship crappy batteries/motherboards/phones or if they manufactured new batteries/motherboards/phones which is unlikely.
And this is supposed to be a good customer service? Damn it...
May I ask you what is your build date in bootloader > barcodes? Just so you know what to expect? Also we can have an idea...
Thanks...
I had bought the Nexus 6P from a friend. No receipt or anything. Since my phone bootloop like everyone else , I decided to go into the main boot screen and chose " barcode ". in that screen , it will show seriel # , IMEI # , model # and build date of the phone, which was 03/04/2016. Knowing that the phone was produced back in march , I know that the warranty can't be expired. I decided to call Huawei. The warranty did not expired yet. I was lucky to call in and inquire about getting it repaired.
So if you bought a phone , and not sure of the warranty , go into the recovery screen , toggle through the menu ( recovery, bootloader , start , barcode )and choose barcode to see the detail of the phone and check the production date.

Hello,
Actually it's the bootloader, not the recovery screen... :good:
You can also go on Huawei site and enter your IMEI. It will give you the warranty's period.
Also, you are lucky. Depending on who answer the call at Huawei, they refuse to repair/replace the phone without the receipt.
Cheers...
Sorry for hijacking the thread but I'm suffering from the early shut down and have contacted Huawei who have confirmed the phone is still in warranty until end of this year and have created an RMA.
However they've sent me the envelope to post the phone back but state you need to return with the a copy of the receipt which I don't have as I purchased it from eBay. It was originally purchased from CPW and was unlocked! Can someone please confirm if Huawei accept warranty returns without the receipt?
Note... I'm in the UK and the phone was purchased from CPW in the UK.

Hey,
It seems like it depends who you talk to at Huawei. Some have been asked for a copy of the receipt, some others haven't. Will they repair it if you send it without the receipt though they have asked for one..?
Not sure, as so much people must have sent them N6P lately due to bad batteries and bootloop... I think they are actually trying to find anything they can to refuse the repair for those who are not original owners. At least people who don't own the receipt.
Hoping I'm wrong and you'll get your phone back, up and running..!
Good luck...
My 6p shut down at approx 40% twice last week (on Dirty Unicorn) and according to Huawei, I only have 1 more month of warranty left. I just sent in the pictures, imei and s/n and now they'll send me a label. I plan on flashing the August factory image and locking the bootloader before sending it in, of course.
so...how long will I be without a phone? I don't have a backup.

Have you tried speaking to Google or Huawei about it? Thats really the first and only step. Like I said before I mine was OUT of warranty so I just paid the money for Hauwei to fix or replace the device. Call them! They will ask you questions and take you through the whole process.

Battery Woes And Google Support.

So like many others I began experiencing the issue of Phone Shutdown when the battery dropped below 40% So called Google support, and even though my warranty expired December 2016, they are shipping me a free replacement.
Go Google!
Third replacement for this issue is on the way. There is a note on my account for a full refund if this one doesn't work.

Replacement what? Phone? Batteries? Every time I have called them, they have just processed a replacement and it has shipped the same or next day. To be honest, I'm kinda hoping this replacement (which I received yesterday) doesn't work at this point. Would rather get my money back and get a new phone.

Got an email yesterday, replacement is on it's way.
Mine was out of warranty too, and I appreciate that they sent me a refurbished phone - but they sent me one in even worse shape than the one I have! Did they not test it before they sent it out? It shuts down at 35%, whereas my bad phone shut off at a mere 15%.
Refurbished means replaced battery - right?
I am awaiting the second replacement, but my confidence is falling.
I'm scared at this point to get a Pixel XL, as I hear they are prone to this issue as well. What gives?

The replacement they sent me, albeit generously because my phone was out of warranty, was in worse shape than the one I am trying to replace. My old phone shuts down at 15%. The "replacement" shuts down at 35%. And bootlooped on me.
Doesn't sound like refurbished to me, but rather recycled, from one unhappy customer to another.
Hopefully replacement #2 will work out, but my confidence is shaken in this phone, which I loved while it worked.
I bought the Nexus 6P from an independent store, not from Google. Anyone knows if Google send replacement if the phone is not bought at Google Store?

Mine was out of warranty too, and I appreciate that they sent me a refurbished phone - but they sent me one in even worse shape than the one I have! Did they not test it before they sent it out? It shuts down at 35%, whereas my bad phone shut off at a mere 15%.
Refurbished means replaced battery - right?
I am awaiting the second replacement, but my confidence is falling.
I'm scared at this point to get a Pixel XL, as I hear they are prone to this issue as well. What gives?

I went through 3 phones to get a good replacement.
1. First replacement had a screen issue.
2. Second had a battery issue
3. The third one and the one I have now was okay.

contact the seller. it will not be honored if not purchased from the google store. sorry.
did you call google? I went to the google warrantly website and they referred me to huawei. would rather deal with google since huawei told me that it could take 2 weeks to get my phone back. (I have 1 more month of warranty left)

I bought it from Amazon (since I bought it on july 2016, they're done with me. LOL).
thank you
I bought mine on Craigslist, did an online chat with Google, told them it was purchased through play store (which the seller did do). It was about 2-3 months out of warranty, and they sent me a replacement within 3 days.
Fun side-note: my original was a 32GB model. Replacement was 64gb model.

ur lucky.
replacements are based on availability of stocks
if 32gb is not available and 64gb is on list then they will send you the 64gb or even 128gb...

Oh I did get it. Lucky for me they were out of the Silver and I got a black one instead.
Is there a particular link for the live chat or just do it through the store live chat where the phone was bought from?
