Htc repair time frame?

Hi, I sent my nexus out to htc for repair 9 days ago for dust under the screen. I was wordering if anybody has done this how long did it take? They received it 7 days ago and updated the site you can check. But the status hasn't changed since. I just want my sexy nexy back lol. I hate the g1 now that I had to go back to it. I can't believe I thought this phone was soooo awesome just 18 months ago haha.

Blessed Optimus

I have never experienced the automatically shut-off/restart (not on stock, not on custom rom).
And when on custom ROM, I'm allways running OC 1400-1500MHz without any problem.
The battery-life is comparable with my last smartphone HTC Legend, It always makes it through the day.
After reading dozens of threads and reviews about all the trouble with LG Optimus 2X, it makes me think that I've got a blessed phone
Who else got a blessed Optimus? I can't be the only one right?

mine is blessed to, never had a problem

i think mine is blessed too

Cool, you bought it in Christiania right? The phone..
I bought mine this month, did you buy it recently?
Maybe LG fixed this with new batch of phones..

hehe yes i bought a weed phone in where
no i bought mine the same day it come on the market.
maybe i was blessed to get one without problems

I bought this phone from the first batch which came to Denmark, and this device had problems with stability, freezing and reboots. I've just got a replacement unit and this has already shutdown and rebooted in the 2 days I've had it

I bought mine from first batch that came to Netherlands, luckily it's blessed

Same. Aside from the screen bleeding on top I have no lock ups or reboot. Which is why I didn't return it back. I would replace the screen if I have to bit not return the phone lol

I´m using this phone about a month, and i have experienced it once when it was overclocked and i played game in bus that there was about 40°C , then none restart, and now i flashed newest CM7, and it restarded about 20 times in row, than he calm down, and its fine again

got mine when it was released in germany, after 2 or 3 weeks the reboots and freezes began to start, after testing cm7 i reflashed stock and since then i got a blessed one

I got mine over a month ago and have noticed restart twice, when I was leaving the country and switching to another SIM. After startíng the phone with new SIM card after few minutes restart, and since then everything fine. No BSOD, no screen leak.
I consider mine O2x blessed as well

So maybe it's about the sim? I have a blessed one too. Bought in the Philippibes, June 11, 2011.
Sent from my Optimus 2X.

I was lucky enough to obtain a blessed O2x as well. It runs like a dream - blazing fast while repping MCR FR17 without a single reboot! *knock on wood*

I really think that EVERYONE who have the freeze/restart problem should have a full refund or a replacement unit that WORKS. No matter how many times you have to change it. It's LG's fault this problem occurs. LG should take back all the faulty devices and fix them so this beast-of-a-phone won't have such a bad reputation.
Sincerely, Hopefully Soon To Be Optimus 2X Owner

Only have this phone for about 10 plus days. No BSOD yet, and hoping it will stay that way.

Blessed optimus here
All on stock, bought in germany about 2 weeks ago

Cool, seems like about half of us is "blessed" after all..
Optimus2X really is an awesome phone, and like others said it should not have this reputation of bad quallity...
LG really should fix this once and for all so that everybody can enjoy the power of the device without anooyance!

Well I would agree with that but I am a "hopefully, soon to be EX Optimus 2x owner"
Piece of **** this is.

i'm not the blessed one, can't get 1,5ghz...

Mine (have it for 2 Months) is not that blessed but working quite well on stock updated.
It restarted 3/4 times over the 2 months that's acceptable and is a bit slow on certain operations (furious on internet surfing ). It's quite not significant compared to software stability I met with previous Android phone from competitors !
This one can scan and load to the library a load of music files without any pb...the scan of media is quite efficient for example.
Cheers

My Xperia T arrived with a problem :(

Hey all,
Just got an Xperia T today from Vodafone UK. Initial impressions are good, feels really nice in hand, not feeling like it will topple from my hand if I don't support it from the top. Sadly, mine arrived with a build problem along the bottom right. The top and bottom halves are not attached correctly, leaving a few mm gap and a bulge on the bottom half of the phone.

I can imagine that hard cases will not clip onto the phone without problems. Have to wait til Tuesday to get another!
Coming from a Galaxy S3 which has stopped working entirely, totally dead out of the blue, so this isn't the best return to Sony for me

I hope, you will be fine with your next T.
And I really hope, that this is not going to happen to me.

I imagine its a one off, looks it anyway.
Kinda annoying as my S3 stopped working last Saturday so its been a week without a phone as is! I can't get attached to this one as I'll lose everything on it and have to configure again when new one comes!
Initial impressions are good, much prefer stock Sony to HTC and Samsung, but would be hoping for some Paranoid Android down the line

hate it when that happens well u can try to get them to service it or exchange

S3 is going to Samsung for repair early next week
T should be doorstep swapped on Tuesday

You are scaring me! I ordered mine from Clove and it should be here on Monday! I am in the U.S.

Don't worry. Mine has just been put together wrong! I can't imagine it'll be a common occurrence
I'm not getting attached to this one so I'll update the thread when the new one comes

I hope so...! :good:

Honestly i didnt see the problem until i saw it was put together wrongly! gl

As I said earlier, use the backup and restore app, can backup to SD or external USB and it will keep app info, so when you restore you should have everything the same

Not long to wait
Won't get it til Wednesday now apparently due to delays caused by iPhone 5 orders

HTC Battery Failure

While this is not an issue that's necessarily related directly to the HTC One (but HTC's in general) and since I am considering the purchase of an HTC One, it made sense to post it in here.
Does anyone know of the general failure rate of HTC Batteries? Since the HTC Battery is non-removable, I'm trying to gather some information on failure rates, in order to determine just how risky it could / would be to get a phone with such a drawback (it would be my first phone with a non-removable battery).
Of course this issue would compound itself in complexity if the battery dies after the warranty expires.
Reason I ask this is because my Sammy Note battery died 14 months after purchase and all it took was buying a new batter to get my device back up and running. There would be no such luck with the HTC one
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Batteries are subjective to a lot if things, such as usage, weather,charge cycles etc. Cell phone batteries that can not be replaced by the user can be replaced by the manufateuer, for a fee if course. Most people get 12 to 18 months before needing to replace their battery.

My S2 battery is still ok after 23 months. No need for a removable battery for me. 3 weeks until my One!

Regarding to HTC. . . My One X has lasted since the week of release and still going strong. . . Lasts all day (If im not playing games all the time) and has been charged EVERY night since owned. . . HTC's prior to this i had multiple batteries for... not that they lasted, but because i was such a heavy user, but they still lasted around 2 years each, May still last now but sold the handsets so couldnt tell you. . .

the battery can be replaced its just not easy. when i bought the phone i asked tmobile about the battery and what i could do if it started to lose its charge. they told me that if i noticed any loss of battery i could bring the phone back within 2 years and they would replace the phone for $20 with a new phone. not a refurb but a new one. besides most of the time with phones that have built in batteries they use higher quality ones that dont lose their charge as fast. plus with the battery being sealed the moisture in the air doesnt degrade the battery as fast so they would last longer than a battery that is open to the elements

I hope you got that in writing, never heard of a Cell Phone Carrier giving someone a new phone after 2 years for $20.00.

if people can exchange their phone because of the tiniest gap then im pretty sure if the battery doesnt hold a charge they will replace it

People exchange their phones within 30 days, they don't exchange them 2 years later and T-Mobile gives them a new phone. Think about what your saying, it makes no sense.

So you just recently brought your s2 in to Tmobile and got a new one? Because the s2 is just about to turn a year and a half old. So you would have had to do it just recently. Sorry, I'm not buying it.
Now if you had said you called 611 within a year of owning the phone or had insurance on the phone then I'd believe you. You get a refurb sent to you and the cost is $5-$20. But walking in to a T-Mobile store a year and a half later and getting a new phone? Nah.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

TMobile is effin USELESS when it comes to assisting customers who don't have insurance. My existing BB9900 through work has been dismal in functionality and they blame water damage to screw me out of a replacement on a device that's barely a few months old. I vented in this thread on the Crackberry forums.
Unless you have a family member working in that store who's gonna sneak you out a device from the backdoor, my personal experience with Tmobile makes me wish you good luck in thinking you're gonna get a replacement.

As have I, T-Mobile has been very good to me...I upgraded to the vibrant and then 7 months later they let me get the sensation for $179, after I had just upgraded. (With loyalty, not in store) They did that for me two other times in the 11 yrs I've been with them. Never an issue with them. But policy is policy and walking in to a store after a year and a half and getting a new phone for $20 wouldn't happen without insurance, and that's not even how insurance claims are processed. End of story for me.
How do you still owe money on a 1 1/2 yr old phone????? You know what, never mind....could care less.

How many times have you had your Nexus 6 replaced / RMA'd?

The "Nexus 6 Trash or Treasure" thread made me curious. I'm seeing so many people replying saying Treasure but yet I'm on my 2nd Nexus 6 in less than a year and it's already acting wonky. My phone acts up so much I feel like I'm "jailed" to only using stock ROMs, without xposed, unrooted. It's been probably the worst experience I've had since I switched to Android. And I know others who have had their Nexus 6 replaced by Google over half a dozen times...
So - how many times have you had your phone replaced / RMA'd by Google? Did I just happen to get a bad replacement from Google or are these phones that prone to hardware failures?

Once

Only once during warranty period as I was having battery issues: the replacement is great and still a champ and going strong over a year now.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I had it RMAed once for the common battery-bulge issue. I then had to immediately replace the replacement device because the camera was jumping around the screen. That third device had the same camera issue but I decided to live with it because I was fed up with having to pay Motorola $25 every time for an advance replacement.
I broke my screen last week and found a used, mostly-mint condition, one for $110 so now I'm on my 4th. This new one doesn't have the camera issue so that's a plus.
EDIT: I voted "2" because that's how many times I actually RMAed it. I didn't count the broken screen since that was my fault. But in retrospect I should have said 3 since I would have RMAed that third one if they didn't charge you $25 every time.

Once because the back had begun to peel slightly at the edges - in hindsight I shouldn't have bothered, but I didn't know at the time that it was simple to stick it down or replace it with another back. But Google didn't quibble - I got a replacement straight away and was never without a device.

None here, minor crack I put in the corner of the glass, but no battery or performance issues so far.

None, I have not had one issue with my Nexus 6. I've had it almost a year now.

Zero. No problems. I even soaked the phone completely in water to clean it out. No issues

One.
Purchased on day three of release(what a pain that was) through Moto. Within 3 months battery bulged.
I contacted Moto. They said they'd be happy to replace but I never sent it haha.. Shelved it instead and went back to ol' trusty DNA.
Recently pulled it out and decided it had been long enough. Bought a replacement battery and glue sticker and went to work on a DIY fix(I'm a tinkerer at heart).
Needless to say its running flawlessly. Rooted & Rom'd.. New battery is staying extremely cool compared to original.
Sorry to hear about all the trouble people are having with this device
