Nexus 4 RMA scum? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I wrote on the official google forum that I have a problem.
I got a reply to my email form "[email protected]" saying that they will help me with the problem.We had some conversations but in the 8th email they said they open an rma process and I have to give them the phone's imei and the shipping adress,full name,etc..
I haven't got a reply since then(it was about 3 days ago).I'm afraid that this could be a fake/scam ?They wrote to me day-to-day before the imei question.So what do you guys think?

If it's a conversation with an @google.com email address it's not a scam - it's possible to fake emails from any address but if you were able to reply to it, that's their real address and it's safe.

i don't see how giving this info would compromise you in any way? you sound like my dad who thinks everyone who sends him an email is stealing from him.

If you are in doubt, you can check the full email header from the one that you received from "[email protected]" to see whether it is a legitimate email from Google. You might want to track the IP address of the sender as well.

SMS delivery notice shows only the number not the name?

I am pasting the question from another forum which interests me as well…
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hi all,
when sending sms and you set the setting for ask for delivery notice on you get back the delivery notice but it will only show you the number not the Name.
This is very annoying when you are sending sms to many contacts.
Is there a work around that?. I contacted the poor online support of Imate and one "not-so-tactful" support lady said "this is what it suppose to do" and they cut me off even before asking my next question to them.
what a shame i-mate has such a poor online support."
Unfortunately I don't think there is. The delivery report comes back from the networks servers with the persons mobile number only. The contact name for that number is stored locally on your phone handset only. What you need is a program that can scan received delivery reports, pull out the number and match it to your contacts database. Far too long winded.
Such a function would probably only benefit someone sending one sms to multiple contacts, then waiting to see who actually received it, so probably not considered by any software developers.
never the less, it is still a shortcoming of the Windows Mobile software, as all nokia phones old and new (even the ancient 8210), and sony ericsson phones can do this!

who the heck is sending these messages???

almost every other day for about 1.5 weeks now i keep getting an SMS from some random 3 - 5 digit number containing what appears to be an email address
the last message was yesterday from 3510 and the email address in it is [email protected]/ /
anyone else get these messages? anyone know who is sending them? or how can i make them stop... i have unlimited messages but i dont like receiving them.
help please!
I dont think this goes in this forum, but ive gotten the message about 3 times since I got my G1, which was like a week ago and I wanna know what its from too.
Seems to be something relating to Verizon picture sharing and nothing to do with Dream.
Moved to Dream forum although as said above this isn't a dream issue.
The number is T-Mobile, that is how the forward emails to your phone. Try sending an email to *your phone number*@tmomail.net
And again it sounds like a verizon wireless customer is trying to send you a picture... or you sent a picture to a verizon wireless customer and it was rejected.
If you want to stop this then you can block emails in my.t-mobile.com there is an email area that allows you to block email messages.
i have a friend that sends me lots of pics and he has verizon so that makes sense.
since i didnt know it was related to verizon i figured i'd ask the guys/gals that have the same phone that i do... (dream)
thanx for clearing that issue up for me. and thanx to the devs on this site for doing great work for us who cant...
lol. heheh reminds me of when i used to do sms bombing and all the receiver would see was a four digit number + a random email i used and my message. i did it to my friends a few times but it got boing after a while. And Yes i know this is not your case.
Actually it is only a g1 problem, t mobile says it is working on a fix.

I don't quite believe what is said in the story but do believe it may be specific to the G1... then again these can be coming from apps you installed, wasn't there one that signed your number up for some spam thing?

No, its not related to any apps, because the day I bought my G1 and set it up, I recieved one of those messages before installing any apps.
Hmmm... that is weird. I haven't received anything unsolicited on my phone.... well besides texts from people I rather not speak to anymore LOL
A slightly different explanation is given here at message 8 of 10:

Sent a request saying I purchased the phone from the US this weekend. Let's hope this'll do.

I've sent a request 2 hours ago and still no word from m$. I'll update when they reply.
ive done this about an hour and a half ago, no reply as of yet. hopefully itl be done by the time i get back from uni
I had to wait one day but I got the code
I actually told them in my email that I wanted to use Windows Phone 7 on HD2 and if it was ok with them to send me a key. I didnt want to lie and would have stayed on Android if it didnt work.
A day later I got a key.
result
Just tested and wait...
MS must give us quickly, because Android is really perfect on HD2 now
If Microsoft wanted they could've stopped giving out codes. But I'm pretty sure Microsoft is more than happy to have Windows Phone 7 gain a considerable amount of Userbase!
For them, at this stage its all about increasing the Userbase than trying to stop people form using WP7.

this is perfect proof that MS wants people to jump on windows phone 7.

This is what I got instead! They wanted proof of purchase! Argh!
Dear Josh

Based on your email description, you would like to get the activation code for Windows Phone 7. Please let me know if this is not correct.
Josh, regarding your enquiry, I would appreciate if you can provide a scan of the proof of purchase/picture of the phone itself. Once it has been verified, then we will provide you with the activation code.

problems with getting activation ID

I have called them twice today, did chat three times and even e-mailed them. 4 times i have been told they are out of the activation codes, and the last time i got asked for the imei......this is becoming a huge headache, are the apps and the xbox live functionality really that worth it? or should i admit defeat and go back to droid? Any one else haveing similar issues? or is anyone willing to pass along there code because they just dropped in to check it out than flashed back to something else?
Make up another email and name. They can check your chat history so making up more stories wont help. With a new name and email start a chat. Make up some BS like you use a throat mic and they customer service on the phone didn't understand you. It doesn't matter what name or number you give them Im more than sure their codes are pretty universal on devices of the same type. If no success make up another email and name and try again. I got it on my 3rd try via chat.
so i went back in armed and ready, new name, new email, and hopes for a code
Caleb: Welcome to Microsoft Customer Service Chat, Josh.
Caleb: I understand that you need an activation code for Windows Phone 7. Is this correct?
Josh: yes sir
Caleb: Thank you for the confirmation.
Caleb: My apologies but our tool to generate the activation code is undergoing system update. Kindly contact this number: 877-438-9863. Business hours are 9:00 am to 1:00am Eastern Time. (6:00am to 10:00pm Pacific Time). They are the team that can assist you in activation code
back at square one............
Just wait it out. N if they say to call make up some BS. Say you got some issue with your voice or speaking. If not then try the email route.
he told me to call, i said i had a horrible stuttor and tried to call them already but got frustraited with them not being able to understand me lol. I did send an email so we will see what tommorow brings. Thanks
I took two attempts for me to get a code from them.
They will give you a code - just wait it out.
You can still configure your handset to sync your contacts, email and calendar with windows live whilst your waiting to activate?
If you set-up an outlook exchange account and use the following server address:
server: m.hotmail.com
Domain: leave clear
Username: web
Password: web
I found it wont let you complete the set-up without entering something for the domain. I entered a couple of random characters so you can finish the set-up, then once the account was complete I went back into the email settings and deleted the random characters.
got an reply in email this morning, was excited thought i finally got it! and sure enough all they say is i hear you need to activate, call our office at blah blah blah
im done with WP7, not worth all these attempts to get this ID anymore, going back to droid after i get off work.
LOL .. Before you give up .. one last chance :
Here is my story : I called them when the method was just found, I got an activation code . Tried it but it didn't work, I thought I got it wrong so I called and got another Key. It didn't work either So I hard-resetted WP7 and tried the sec code and it worked .. So now I have the first key which I'm not sure whether I got it correctly or not but you can try it and PM me if it worked :
D7YJ4-TKXX2-PRRRM-M7X3G-XXXXX
I PM'ed you the red X's : )
Hello kawasaki, can you pm the red xxxx, i already try many ways with no luck
thank you
hey guys,
the chat that you guys mentioned, where can i find it? Can somebody be so kind and post me the link?
I went on Microsoft website and man, that thing's a maze. It just circles me around the website over and over and over...
http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/cu_sc_selector_chat?ws=support#
They don't seem to be giving out the codes as much now.... good luck and let us know if it works.

Sure you could all use the same key, and then have all the devices using that key be banned by Microsoft. It is as simple as that.

Not sure if I missed something. What is your country?
I called M$-Support of Germany on Monday this week and they gave me a key while we were on the phone. No question about IMEI but the manufactorer of my phone. I said HTC and there were no further questions.
In parallel I've sent an email to M$-International support last weekend. I received another key just a couple of minutes ago

It's the address I use for forums. I don't *want* to use my gmail or other account for registering. How do I *email* someone there to demonstrate I'm a real person trying to participate meaningfully in the community?
