NO takexis backxis!
A trade is a trade is a trade.. Tell him that the phone is resting peacefully and it won't come back anymore (like a dead pet)

i told him that but he wont buldge the worst part he says he is goin to block the phone...so the person who has the phone is gonna suffer

yea...like he can block phones? What is he? the Prime Minister of UK?

Lol, you both agreed on a deal. Was the phone in perfect working order before you gave it to him? If so your safe. That is rediculous. You guys traded, and after HE breaks it, he wants his phone back.

yes it was in good condition but if he blocks the phone i'm screwed and thats my worry

Why would he even want to do that? I doubt the person would be willing to give a phone back that they bought/traded for. What exactly is wrong with it.

it doesnt have 3g...there is a touch screen problem and battery is bad

Uhm, it's the UK version, why would he expect 3g unless he's on T-Mobile? Why doesn't he try a hard reset, if that doesn't work reflash to original ROM. I always buy two batteries when I get a new phone... Never know when I might need one.

Still can reflash the original ROM. Maybe you could work something out, offer a partial refund of money even though you aren't obligated to do so.

no cuz the trade details were on the phone and the phone is sold

Motorola Questions

How is the RMA process for Motorola? Is it pretty much hassle free like Google Play?

I'm also wondering this. I have to RMA mine due to an issue with a spot on my camera.

I just called Motorola, 5minjtes later they said they are overnighting me a new phone with a return label no problem! I'm glad they have good customer service for issues like I had.

Other than having to wait for their stock to replenish, I've had no issues with the RMA process for my N6: quick and easy.

I was lucky because they had a blue 64gb in stock ready to ship. They asked what color I wanted and I said I don't care as long as its a 64gb. They said OK they only have blue so they sent me that one. I have a blue one now so that's fine, but I think it's funny how they would have happily sent me a white one if it was in stock.

For those who've received a RMA phone (any motorola phone) do you have to pay money, and did you received a refurbished device?

I didn't have to pay anything they send you a label so you can send the old one back. I don't know if its new or not because I get mine tomorrow via FedEx,however I would assume it's refurbished unless they don't have any refurbished ones yet then it will likely be new. Either way not worried because they sent it out fast, free, and it was easy to get replaced. I also have moto care should I actually break my phone accidentally which seems to be a good idea considering it's size. I'll report back tomorrow when my phone arrives, hopefully in the morning because you need to sign for it in person.

Mine was brand new.

They sent me a brand new phone sealed in the box

yes, how else can they make the money back if you do not return the broken device? For all they know you are faking it to get them to send you a 2nd phone so you can sell them both for profit.

I just RMA'd my second N6 because of 1/2 the screen freezing randomly and the camera jumping... I love my Nexus I just hope this one works better. They are sending me a CW model because the MD is out of stock in the center and because its the same person I spoke with before who offered it. I hope this one doesn't have any issues because I don't want any other phone except for my Nexus 6

As for the device, it was brand new, but I wouldn't expect that to last long as they start refurbing the returns.

Quick question buying nexus 6 on craigslist

Hey I'm looking at a few craigslist nexus 6s. If I activate it before I give the seller money, and it activates successfully, can the seller report it lost or stolen and deactive it after its already oon my line?
Thanks

its a new security system for the nexus.. even if you wipe the phone 10x and then flash the factory image, it will still ask for the previous owners security, unless he removed it. if it is removed, then it would be fine. and if he didnt, and you got the phone, he can reset his password, but it will take 3 days before it becomes affected. this is for people that steal devices, to keep you safe.

You should meet up at the carrier store you're trying to activate it at and have someone at the store make sure everything is ok and it activates. Also if you buy things from Craiglist a lot, you should have a receipt book and have the seller sign it and take a picture of the license plate or write it down so you can file a police report if things go sideways.

Here is the thing... If Sprint had the files it would probably get leaked as there would be much more people who have access to the files. This makes hunting down who leaked it more difficult. Also, all those techs might not be heart broken if they lose their job. We have to rely on someone from LG leaking it which is much more unlikely.

Well we just got access to the att kdz from a repair center in nam, it might be possible.

I would call sprint to see what they say. talk to someone above the initial person who answers the phone if you don't get what you want.
you are paying a monthly fee for insurance protection. you should not have to send it to LG.
I'd probably demand some credit as well for dealing with a company that won't honor their insurance program despite you paying monthly for it.

I doubt you can do much over the phone. They will end up telling you to take it to a store.
I'd try another sprint store. Make sure it's a corporate store preferably a repair center (which are rare these days).
I feel your pain and have been in your shoes a couple times regrettably for similar goof ups.

right the person on the phone can't swap your phone.. but a supervisor can put notes on the account and/or call the store to make sure next time he goes he won't deal with the same issue.

As a sprint repair tech, the note will only work for a corporate store. Any sprint store can order replacements though.
If your rooted, and it obvious than it would void your lg warranty which technically voids a TEP. Now that being said, if your device is still working fine and just won't update cause you rooted it, I'm not surprised he won't replace it. I wouldn't personally either...
My advice if you can't get care to add notes or get another tech/store to Ae it would be brick it. Flash a root file from another device or something. They'd pretty much have to replace it then.

Is my phone a refurbished? Please help!

I just bought a new phone from company and I have downloaded the app "Phone Info Samsung" in order to check the refurbishment. But it shows my phone is a refurbished one. After that, I downloaded another app and it shows my phone is original. Should I worry about my phone? I feel bad after seeing this. Sorry for my English.

I wouldn't think so, did you register it with Samsung for warranty and keep receipts of purchase?
if you did I don't really see it being a problem if the phone is in perfect condition

I'm of coarse the odd ball I don't care if mine is a refurb or not. If it works and no damage there is no difference. Orig refurb double refurb. They all work the same.
Some times a refurb can be better than the orig. Not saying this one is.

Yeah, I did. I kept it all, but I think Samsung would not do that to their customer. Because I bought it directly from Samsung company. I think that if it was a refurb, it would not come with the warranty card. Moreover, my phone is in perfect condition.

My concern would be the "water proofness" post refurb.....
However i never get my phone wet, and don't plan to, but accidents happen and it's nice to be able to count on the water resistance. Maybe check with Samsung, I would.....it's your hard earned/saved money.

Here is one way to check whether your phone is refurbished or not: use a test code(##786#) at the Phone app. This can work for most of the Android phones.
