Hi!
I've received my new Nexus One today. I've unpacked it and have charged. Then I turned it on but instead of strting animation I've seen multicoloured pixels began to appear on the screen. Their brightness increased and amount of them increased until they completely filled the screen. As I see by reaction on the keys and usb-activity phone was normally loaded, but only multi-coloured pixels are visible on the screen.
WTF? What I should to do?
Ah this is a bit of a pain given your location, DOA for sure.
Who/where did you buy it from? I would be in contact with the straight away!
I've bought it on eBay, seller is American.
Was it a reseller company or an individual? Many of the reseller companies have doa return policies.
Also if you paid through paypal you can file a grievance through them.
Ebay? You're boned.
Credit card payment I presume?
I don't know how credit cards work in russia, but hopefully they protect you from crap like this. I would get in contact with them.
Looks like individual reseller but with 100% positive feedbacks.
Is it possible to update phone' software without looking?
In theory, yes.
Realistically, no.

Well I believe the warranty on the phone might not be voided yet. contact the seller, and inform his ass the phone is not working. Then contact google, is the bootloader is still locked you might be able to get another device.
Okay, I've used eBay for quite some time. So heres what you should do:
File a claim on papal as soon as possible and describe your problem there. Contact the seller as well. And if at any time he does bot seem to want to help, papal should provide you with your buyers protection and refund you the money and or get in contact with your credit card company or bank account and file a chargeback to get your money back.

Unfortunately the warranty is non-transferable, how well enforced that is I don't know though.

Good luck figuring that out with gibberish on the screen
Thank you very much. I will try to talk with the seller.
If you are unable to sort it out let me know and I might buy it off you depending on how much your willing to sell it.

That's absolutely not true! The warranty with HTC is valid for 12 months regardless of whether you're the original buyer of the phone or not! I bought my G1 secondhand on eBay... it had a dead pixel and HTC took care of it for me. Only had to pay shipping one way.
It absolutely IS true, and is the first point in the Nexus One warranty statement:

I stand corrected. I'm surprised to see that...wonder if the G1 warranty was also non-transferable. I would still call HTC... I'm betting they'll cover it. All they ever ask for over the phone is the IMEI number. I've never been asked for POP.
Hello. I made a video with this problem.

No really, that sucks. Try to send it to HTC
Yup screen took a hit, reloading firmware will not fix this. Send it in to HTC.
I recently opened a ticket with Samsung regarding apparent corrosion/flaking under the corner of my screen. Has anyone had any luck getting them to send a replacement before mailing the defective device in? I don't really like the idea of being phone
less for 10 days. I'm assuming they'd need to place a hold on a credit card.

Samsung is a multi-billion dollar company. They won't not return your device, ruining their reputation because of this. One Note 3 is mere trash to them. It won't benefit them in any way unlike a typical small company where they can just keep the phone forever.

Sorry if it was unclear--I'm not worried about losing the phone, I'm just reluctant to send it in before I have a replacement given how much I rely on it in my day-to-day life. I was just curious as to whether anyone else had been able to finesse a replacement out of them before sending the defective unit in (presumably by placing a hold on a credit card--I doubt they'd take my word, bond though it may be).

My carrier issued a substitute while my phone was in repair (It was a Blackberry if I remember) back in the days when I owned an iPhone 4. Samsung won't do this at all costs.

Yeah, just spoke with them, and they wouldn't budge. Understandable enough. I'm on the T-Mobile jump program, but I'm not sure they'd replace it given that it's apparently a manufacturing defect. I just hope there's no quibbling over whether it's user damage--a quick search yielded several pictures of the exact same problem, but in my case it seems to have eaten out to the bezel.

Thanks for this. Quick and easy--the replacement is already out for delivery. The rep did warn that the reconditioned devices are occasionally wonky--"better the devil you know, sometimes" were his words IIRC--so I'll report back if there are any issues.

Wherever it is the cheapest, total all in cost. The Google store is likely the second worst place since they charge tax to a number of states and usually don't throw in extra goodies. They are beat to the title of worst place to buy only by Best Buy where you will pay tax in every state hat has one. Newegg will charge tax to CA and a few others. IMO the best place to buy is B&H. If you have not heard of them buy without hesitation. They are a well established vendor of photographic gear with outstanding service and some of the better prices around. And when it comes to photo gear their selection is unparalleled.

Or you could have bought a brand new one with a 2 year warranty (1 year extended with many credit cards) for $10 more
I got mine off Amazon, $64 GB; standard price of $549, after taxes and whatnot it came to about $600; it's a bit more expensive, but I'm glad I paid the extra because Amazon is awesome, and I'm getting a replacement shipped because my wifi module died after I unlocked the bootloader (how does that even happen?).
Got mine from Best Buy for $449 and a $50 gift card.

There are members here telling you not to buy from that Google Store purely because you can save a few bucks elsewhere. But I believe this is incorrect. The Google Store is the single best place to buy from even if it costs you a few extra dollars. Why? RMA's and returns. If you buy from Google and you have a legitimate problem with your phone all you do is tell them about it and they'll give you a replacement. No proof required, and very few questions asked. It's about as easy as it gets. Even if your phone is bent. If you buy from another retailer they'll generally do whatever they can to not provide you with a replacement. Those few extra bucks you might pay via the Google Store are well worth the peace of mind that comes with knowing you'll be taken care of if something goes wrong.

A couple things need to be added because it was left out. Officially, Google says it doesn't cover accidental/water damage. Having protection plan obviously covers that. I say this because above it says "even if your phone is bent".
The other thing left out is also kinda big too. It's the part about fronting the money for the device that's going to be replaced. Google doesn't just send you another device even if it's covered under warranty. They send a email with a link to follow. You follow that and it orders the "rapid replacement" or whatever Google calls that process. It puts a hold on your credit card for whatever the device costs. Once you return the defective device (Google allows you to print out the shipping label so you don't pay for that) the hold is released. The first time I came across this process the amount was a surprise.
I asked if I didn't want to front the money could I just send the defective device in and they send the fixed device/replacement back. They said its done the other way with having a hold put on your card.

A bent phone is usually a manufacture defective one, and is covered under their return policy. Accidental/water damage is not manufacture defective, so it won't be covered. Simple as that.
It's called an RMA and almost all retailers do that for returned merchandise. Look at the situation from their POV: what would keep you from not sending the defective phone back once they sent you the replacement. Again, simple as that.

The bent phones aren't seen as accidental damage, there are many reports of these being replaced by Google with no questions asked. Of course you need to "front the money" as you put it. This is normal procedure when an advanced replacement is being provided to a consumer. Anyway, you're not actually being charged, they're not taking any money, all that's happening is you're authorising them to take the money in the case that you don't return the defective device. Do you really expect companies to just send products worth hundreds of dollars with no insurance against theft/fraud?

It is simple. So simple I made sure to add it. Being told about a charge is something to know about. It wasn't mentioned. I mentioned it.
As for your question about what would keep someone from not sending a device back. I said nothing about it being right or wrong. You mention it like I did. I don't think it's wrong. Inconvenience for sure, especially if you didn't do anything wrong and it's not your fault. But I know some people would not return the defective device. Integrity for some would make them return it. As for others, some would not and that's almost certainly the reason multiple companies do that exact thing (charge up front).

Again, telling those about the charge doesn't mean I think it's wrong. It wasn't mentioned. And being told about paying for the device again, even as a hold that will be returned is something that should be mentioned.

Moto pays but you have to package it (you have to supply the box/envelope).
Get on the phone with their support and convince them it needs to be serviced and then they will send you the FedEx label by email and you have so many days you can access the label.

Thank you so much! This is all the information that i needed! next week i will send my phone, i have the Amaozon receipt and the shipping label. wish me good luck!
So I went with the optional $5/month Project Fi "Device Protection" when I bought my 128GB Pixel XL.
Then I dropped the phone and broke the back glass, which is apparently impossible to replace because the glass isn't available anywhere unless you want to pay someone like $150 to replace it for you. It's not a DIY option, you can't buy the glass.
So I decided to use my Device Protection which has a $100+ deductible.
But the thing is, they will ONLY replace your phone if they can first place a hold on your credit card for the full price of the phone.
You cannot simply send them the phone, then wait for them to send you a replacement back.
They ONLY do the advance replacement where they send you a phone and THEN you send them your old phone.
Not everyone has $900 freaking dollars available in credit or in their bank to allow for that hold to be placed.
WTF kind of stupid policy is this.
Sorry to vent but I feel this is something folks should know about before buying from Project Fi instead of through Google themselves, where my replacement would have gone though a different company with more relaxed replacement policies.
Ugh.
Googles logistics are terrible. Thats why they will never be a feasible replacement for brick and mortar carrier stores if they don't make some changes.
If they send a phone before you send one back, most companies put a credit hold on it. I have had that policy applied many times most recently when my wife had a replacement done on a Motorola/Lenovo product. It sucks, but it is standard procedure.

That's not the problem, Man.
The problem is that is their ONLY available method.
They refuse to let you ship them the phone and then send you a replacement AFTER they receive delivery of your phone.
So, it's either have $900 burning a hole in your pocket (CC or bank account) or you don't get to warranty your phone.
The $900 CC thing can't be that big a deal, I put very little on my cards and they give me large limits. The warranty company will remove the charges pretty quick (in my experience) so just make sure you don't do this the last week of your billing period and it's all good. Most people want a new phone pretty quick so it doesn't surprise me that this is their only option. I think with my wife's Moto we were given 2 options, the pay and swap and the send it to us and when we get around to it (4-6 weeks) we will repair it and send it back. So we really only had one option because waiting wasn't a viable option. Most places I have dealt with won't do the you send us one and we will send one back because it makes them liable for the phone so that's why they do the pay and swap.

Through Project Fi or Google Store?
Normal warranty or Device Protection plan?
Through store and normal warranty..
Edit: device is over heating..
Attached is the email..
They don't take the money, they just make sure you have it available in case you run off with the device. Even if it's at the end of your billing cycle. It remains pending and never hits your balance. Don't Make this a bigger deal than it is. Just get the new device, send back the old one and forget it. Personally I'd much rather do it that way than waiting while I have no phone.

yeah I bought the insurance/coverage through the store. ours was a one-time payment where his is a recurring charge.
I've claimed insurance through AT&T ('09 - Asurion), Sprint and Tmo (2010 - Asurion), VZW (2012 - Asurion) and none of them placed a hold on my credit card. I was a college student at the time and could barely afford the deductible. That's a terrible policy from Project Fi
In the exact same situation, i was with project fi at the time, but since i wanted to finance it (and keep insurnace on it if i switched) i bought it from the google store with protection. A little time goes by and (besides all the small problems my device has) i ended up putting a single crack in the back glass much like yours.
I called, and again same as you, they told me if i wanted to replace the device they would need to place a hold of 799 on a card. I barely ever keep money on my card, so this was unreasonable. they repeatedly told me that this was the only way the warranty exchange could work.
A few days later and an idea popped into my head "can they place a hold on the same card/account that i financed my phone with?". so i called and asked, only to find out there was indeed an alternative way to do the exchange, which was sending mine first then receiving the new one.
See, I'm in the exact opposite situation. I purchased my device through Verizon and I'm having some hardware issues, so I need a replacement. If I get the replacement from Verizon, they will ship the phone first and put a hold on the account until I send one back, but I might get a phone with 7.1.1+ on it therefore not being able to unlock it. So I went to Google, they will fix/replace the phone under warranty and get me an unlockable device. However, they will not send me a new phone until my phone has been received by them (I don't want to go a week without my phone, I own no other Verizon devices). They said that since I don't have an account for them to put a hold on, they cannot do the advance replacement. I offered to set up an account and give my credit card to place the hold on and they told me that they cannot create an account. It only gets created when you purchase the device.

No dude, it doesn't go through unless you have the $900 balance already available.
So if your credit card doesn't have $900 available credit, or your bank account doesn't have $900 available cash, then the "pend" doesn't go through and you're SOL.
Don't make it a bigger deal than it is?!?
Whatever.
