So last week on Monday morning i cracked my HTC Sensation screen while
getting out from my car as it was on my lap and i completely forgot about it.
I have done this before and not a single scratch, but this time i guess it just
fell at the wrong spot. What ever all good, that's why i have insurance right?
So i go and file a claim with Asurion for them to just tell me that there is no
available Sensation phones and that they can just replace it with the SG2.
Sure why not i said, might as well get a new different phone to play around
with. So they shipped it out on Monday telling me that by Tuesday it should
be there... Nope came on Wednesday.(Most likely Fedex problem...). So like
a little child i'm all excited and start ripping apart the box to get my phone .
I open it up and start looking at all the peaces and realize right off the bat
that their is no freaking battery. How the hell am i supposed to turn this thing
on with no battery. Even tried to just put in the usb charger but it just vibrates.
(probably meaning that there is no freaking battery). So i'm completely pissed
of at this point and am about to start raging. I call up Asurion customer service
to tell them what happened. (One thing is, Asurion got some really nice
customer service people right in america i mean it was just like talking to
a friend and they where really nice and just flat out nice lol. All 6 people that i
called!. VERY GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!) So they tell me that i can go into
my local store and just buy a battery and they will refund me $39.99. So i hang
up and goto the store to find out they are selling that battery for 49.99. So i
call Asurion back again to tell them this and they said they will ONLY be able to
refund me $39.99 and what ever else is upto me. I tell them forget it and ship
me a new battery. The lady tells me that they don't ship battery's by fedex
but by regular mail, and that i wont get my battery until 5-7 days... So i was
kind of pissed and ended up speaking to a super visor and apparently his super
visor and nothing can be done about this. What ever i said just freaking send
it and get this over with. SO figure it like this. They say 5-7 business days for
the package to arrive by regular mail. Regular mail has a 6 day business work
week Monday-Saturday. Today is now Thursday so that would mean that this
was the last day that it should have came on. To my surprise i get home a few
hours ago and there is no freaking battery in the mailbox.... GRRRRR
Back to calling Asurion. Again i tell them the problem and again they tell me that
they will send me another battery by regular mail. Now i wasn't having any of
this. I have 14 days to return my old phone. Now i am on day 8 of this 14 day
return policy. What the hell am i going to do? They told me they can contact
t-mobile and tell them the problem and not to expect the package for 30 days.
I told them NO because i cant even use the damn phone so it doesn't matter.
( I was ling cause i'm using it right now lol). I started screaming at this poor
lady and then just asked for a super visor again. After about 20minutes of being
on hold 4 times, she comes back on the line and says that they have come to
a solution.
The solution:
They are going to send me a package with a new phone WITH BATTERY and
send it via fedex so i can get it tomorrow. They have a very strict policy
on shipping anything other then phones via fedex express.
I just now have to send back 2 phones...
This is what i have been going thru for the past 8 days..
I hope it comes in tomorrow with a battery and i also hope that the battery that
they sent in via regular mail also come sin so that i can now have a spare battery.
So that is my Asurion ordeal for the past week and a half.
Fun times ehh.
Wow! Hope it all comes together for ya from here on out
Yea, thanks a lot. I really hope it comes in tomorrow with everything functioning and intact.
they are sapose to send a new phone in sealed box when replacing your phone with a different phone. Thats weird they would do that either somebody messed up or they have some bull$**T new policies. I don't know seems like T-mobile and what not was real cool when they were about to merge but now they got real greedy.

T-mobile except for the $5.99 or $7.99 insurance added on your plan has nothing else to do with asurion.

Yep, same thing Asurion and T-mobile told me. They are both different company's that don't have to much to do with each other other then insurance. When i send back the phone's they get sent to T-mobile and not Asurion. At least that's what Asurion told me. Also i didn't get it in a sealed box. It was sent in some cheap ass regular white box.. Meh
If u need a battery real fast you can go to your local Verizon store now and get the Samsung 2100mah Galaxy Nexus Extended battery for 24.99 (currently 50% off 49.99). I just bought mine yesterday and it fits perfectly. Our stock battery is 1850mah. Call before you go because some stores are sold out.

Thanks for the tip. I love my Sensation but the battery life is just HORRIBLE. I mean it was so bad that only making a few phone calls and checking xda for 30minutes tops during work, i'd be at like 15-10% by 5pm after a full work day. Hope the sg2 handles battery life much better.
They send me vibrant with no memory card in it ; result there was no avatar movie. Which pissed me alot.

Sadly, After having had my GSII past the 14 day return window, I'm kinda wanting my Sensation back. The T989's only advantage is the 16GB onboard memory and 256MB more RAM.
Factor in that Sensation has several ICS ROMs and we have none and there are non on the horizon, I'd rather go with the Sensation, even though I had a ton of issues with my 4 that i went through. The T989 just doesn't impress me enough to justify the cost over upgrading from the Sensation. The only thing keeping me from selling the GSII and getting another Sensation is the crap luck i had with them.
You could of just got the galaxy nexus extended battery for 25.99+tax from the Verizon store.

Hi, I had to create this topic outta utter frustration and annoyance. Well my device was having a charging problem (it was taking long time to charge) and I submitted it to the nearest service center here (Divine Electro Solution, Calcutta, India) on 14th this month. Next day they called me and said the charger is the culprit (but they wasn't sure about that!) and they'll replace it. So I went to take my phone on last Saturday and they handed me the device with the new charging adapter (they didn't change the cable). As soon as I looked at the phone I was . The main screen had at least 6 or 7 very prominent scratches, kind of things which could be only done by keys, or razors, that if you scratch them pretty badly on the screen. I said what have you guys done to the screen? They said, they don't know! They sent the phone to head office and they might have done that. They were pretty sure that I would take the phone, but I wasn't gonna, why would I accept a scratched device while I gave them an almost brand new and shiny one? Anyway, they said I will get it back on Monday, with the front LCD replaced (or the glass maybe), so today I called them and they said there is no spare parts available and they don't know how long would it take. This annoyed me. Well it's not that I've given them a scratched one and they could take all the time on earth, it's their damn responsibility. Anyway, I asked how long could it take and said to do it asap, but they said, they can't tell me any time frame and I could take my device back as it is now and come back when the LCD/glass is available to replace it. Well I am not doing that, because I know as soon as they give me the device they will not hold any sort of interest for any further process. So I didn't take it.
I emailed this incident to the complaint section of Samsung, sent the same copy to Executive board too, and got a reply also, saying,
This is to acknowledge the receipt of your concern and also to inform that the same has been highlighted to the Executive Escalation Team( CEO's Desk).

Well I don't know if they will do anything or not, I sent the mail on Saturday and till today they didn't contact my local SC or HO that's for sure. There isn't a helpline number in their website where I could reach them and tell my issue.
Anyway, what you guys think I should do? Should I just wait more or do something? It's been a week now they are holding the device, and don't know for how long more they have intended to!
Thanks in advance.
PS: Forgot to say how stupid these SC guys are, they told me on Sat after giving me the new charger that this phone should take 5 hours if not more to charge completely, as it has a bigger battery. I, just to make sure they were complete stupids and brainless asked, how big is the battery? They said, it has 2500 mAh battery and a 2A charger should charge it in 5 hours :laugh:
I never had a pathetic experience like this with any brand previously, be it Nokia, hTC or Apple.
Thats cos samsung are noobs stick t0 google.or.htc in my opinion although the note 2 is best on market

I can understand your frustration. There will be an officer for every city to check whether the service centre guys or behaving properly or not. Better get hold of that guy. Anyway you have contacted the executive section right, tell them you will accept the phone only if they provide brand new or replace the screen including glass. Otherwise you can sue them in consumer court and claim more damages more than 1 lakh. Better wait for the new piece.

Well I am talking with 'that' guy from day 1 and what amuses me that a section manager knows nothing about Note 2! He keeps saying it's a new device, no one knows much about it! I mean in what earth a more than 7-8 weeks old device is 'new' device. His and his total groups lack of knowledge amaze me.
Update: At 10 am today I got a call from Samsung HO and they made a conference call and connected me with that guy with whom I was talking from very first. Same crap he said again, unknown period of time due to lack of parts availability. Nonsense.
So this is their solution, I think they just found a new feature in phones, and that is conference calling.
I am so ashamed. Ashamed on myself, that I purchased this phone.

You should be asking for a replacement phone, not for repairs. It takes the whole 'we dont have parts available' issue out of the argument. This is their error, not yours. Insist on a new device.
Tell them if you don't have the parts, replace the phone.

I would DEMAND a new phone!
only iphone has a total replacement policy n thus the price:
well i had a camera issue with note 1 on the very first week,i hd rooted the phone but helpfully(xda) there was unroot,n i gave the phone to the service centre it took them 7 days to replace my front camera,but all was well,and yes availability of parts for a newly released device is hard.the person who inspected my device said front camera is only for video chatting that was the noobest reply i got,have a patient i hv a gult feeling ur problem will be solved.and as far as htc n google are concerned there have very small bussiness foot print in india,so samsung is a good choice for indians
I had huge bubbles under the gorilla glass so i gave it to sabsonic service center ( kolkata ).it was a 1 week old set with 0 scratches.they replaced the display and added more or less 5 scratches to screen and 15-20 scratches on back cover ( yeah back is ruined ) and few dents to the metal lining on sides.i asked them for an explanation,they said they dunno about it. if your issue is resolved,kindly update here.
I second you telling them to give you a new device. Either they fix it now, or they give you a new phone and you'll give back the parts. It's unacceptable that THEY mess up your phone and give it back, and then don't have the parts to change it... Fine... It's a new device, no new parts yet, but then give you a new phone to replace the busted up one!
You went in for a new CHARGER
and now you have to walk out with a NEW PHONE because THEY messed up!

I called them yesterday and they said come and see, we have changed the 'Gorilla Glass' (the pronunciation made me laugh hard), see if you are satisfied. I went and checked the screen thoroughly and there was NO scratch and they indeed changed the front glass. But yea, there were two or three small dents at the metallic border, and the back cover is scratched as well, but this isn't my iP5, so I didn't give a damn at that plastic.
But for the issue I submitted the device, that was long charging problem, it is NOT resolved. Device is still taking same time like before. Now I am gonna try with a different charger or cable, and if it's not good I will ask them to replace the device.
One thing I did learn, these service center guys should go back to school and learn ABCD first, but I doubt that, because I don't think they have any better IQ than Forrest Gump.
i talked with them regarding exchange, they said " sorry we don't do that, we only replace faulty parts "
I just Purchased a used Moto X off of Swappa. I love the phone! Unfortunately my battery life is pathetic even compared to my year and a half old iPhone 5. I have tried optimizing all the settings.

Just checked ebay, and couldn't find one. But here is one: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2120...ACEMENT-BATTERY-EX34-ORIGINAL/1600863563.html It might take a while to get to you, unless you want to pay a ton for shipping.
Call Motorola. $99 to replace. With their excellent customer service they might do it for free as well?
Its not your battery.
You just need to do some troubleshooting, maybe with peoples help.
I guarantee if you don't, and get another battery and manage to successfully swap them.....you will end up severely disappointed when its no different.
I'd start by taking some time and reading through the hows your battery life thread...then post some gsam screenshots and see if people can help track down your issue.
Trust me....if its as bad as you say, another battery won't help. You'll be throwing money away.

What with the rumours going round it will be launched same day, would anyone here actually go out and buy it on launch day without seeing any reviews first.
I'd like to say I was that brave but the truth is the battery life on my HTC One is so average / bad I'd be worried to stick down that amount of cash for a sub standard battery.
I intend to go out and get it as soon as possible, but I have seen more of the device than the average non-xda consumer.
I'm definitely going to get one ASAP. Been saving up since I got the original. I think this version Will be the version I'll stick with for a few years ?
Don't get me wrong, I love the original version. But the extendable memory is definitely a plus in this year's version.

Just like many others, the 2300 battery on the One lasted all day, so 2600mah will be an upgrade.
I did with the One X+ that literally no one new about and I don't regret it. It sucks today only cus of the tiny battery and HTC thinking a Tegra 3 chip overclicned was a smart idea but outside of charging my phone 2-3x a day, love it. If I didn't have to wait til April 16th to cancel my contract with ATT to switch to Verizon I would be at a Verizon store tomorrow the moment they opened. Specifically the one my friend manages so he has my device set aside waiting for me . But will have to wait, no biggie.
Hi,
My LG G3 battery is faulty and I need to replace it.
My top contender for the job is LG G4. I'm mostly care about A) Battery life time B) Durability C) Camera quality, and of course I don't want to go beyond the G4 price category (sub 350-400$). I never play games on my phone, so I guess I don't need relevant specs, and in fact, I prefer 5.2 over 5.5 displays.
I'm a bit concerned about the bootloop hardware problem. I plan to buy the phone abroad, so I won't have local warranty.
A) Would you recommend buying this phone? I can get it for ~330$ at ebay.
B) If not, what phone would you recommend for me?
C) How can I avoid the bootloop problem? Should I ask for a specific series? If I'm buying a new one, is it likely that I'll get one with a faulty hardware?
G4's battery is meh but its camera quality is superb.About the bootloop,builds with serial number that start with 510 or 600+ are free of flaws but i don't know if you can check for the serial number from the ebay reseller.I really this phone,it had all my needs except some demanding game were a bit laggy.If you want a different phone,you can get the galaxy s6,battery life is better and comes with a fast charger.

Honestly, the G4 isn't a massive upgrade over the G3, plus the bootloop issue is very troublesome. It took me all of a week with the G4 before I was wishing I saved my upgrade for something else.
If you're not going to jump to the G5 or another more recent phone, I'd probably get another G3. Just my opinion.
guys talking about the bootloop problem...can u guys tell me more about it..Im also willing to buy that phone?
Link from where il be buying : https://en-sa.wadi.com/lg-g4-h815-32-gb-4g-lte-black-39075.html (cuz in my country h815 isnt available)
It has this code "LG772EL24FUX"
Can u guys tell me more about it...Will it be rootable..unlockable?
If your top priority is battery life, and the only problem is a bad battery with your g3. Why not just get an extended battery for the g3 for $25-50 and be able to get 10hrs screen on time.
Save that $300 for next year.

Hi,
I have received the G3 a month ago from an ebay reseller. After two week, the proximity sensor went dead, and after two more weeks, the battery. I suspect this is a faulty phone (maybe refurbished? Who knows with ebay).
I have two options:
A) I can return the phone to the ebay reseller and get refund, and then buy some other phone.
B) The reseller offered that he'll pay from the local repair (70$), and I'll keep the phone.
What would you do?
Re Battery Life :My G3 running on MM had a fairly decent battery life, although, as I mentioned, I have only used it for a few weeks.

Depends a bit on how much you got the g3 for. If its a refund of $260 or higher, is an H815(bootloader unlockable) and I can confirm the g4 is not an early batch, I may opt to upgrade to the g4. If not, you may be dumping an extra $100-200 on another seller that may not be so nice to you if the g4 has problems.

I paid 240$ for the G3. I can get the G4 for about 335$.
Regarding the G4 bootloop issue, apparently LG produced faulty units for the first few months (we think) that results in your phone being unable to start up. LG will honor their manufacturer warranty and repair it (if your bootloader is unlocked it's hit-or-miss on if they're willing to help) but quite a few are experiencing bootlooping again, after the supposed fix. Many consider the G4 a ticking time bomb.
I still owe $400 on mine through AT&T but am going to pay it off next month and go for an HTC, possibly.

Not only does the battery life seem about even, but I also thought the G4 bootloader problem was with the 505 through 507 serials..
Someone correct me if I am wrong.
Yeah, battery life seemed even to me.
The bootloop is regarded as hitting 505-507, but there are a few other cases of it hitting other models, such as a 603.
