When U purchased my moto 360 I bought the two year warranty for it. Recently its been randomly turning off and the device gets extreme hot. Seeing as how the original is no longer being sold by bestbuy if I took it to be exchanged how would that work?
I'm not sure what category that would fall under on here [http://www.geeksquad.com/protection-plans/geek-squad-protection], but if you bring it into your local store, they will be able to get the process started. You can also call them at 1800 Geeksquad (1-800-433-5778) and they will be able to fully answer that for you. More than likely, they will be able to replace it with a working refurbished one.
Wish I'd seen this earlier, but this was exactly my situation. Essentially what they did was allow me use the amount I spent on the original Moto 360 (minus the warranty) towards the new Moto 360. I did have to buy a new 2 year warranty, which is more expensive, because the watch is more expensive. I paid around $130 total, and took advantage of a $50 gift card offer they were running at the time.

If I buy this phone from online in the states will HTC cover warranty? Will I be covered for the 2 years if I get the international version if I buy online here is the U.S.?
Also if not do they have any Square-trade insurance option anywhere. If I remember correctly when I bought my GNote from Amazon I thought they gave me a Square-trade option at checkout, I was tempted to buy this but Amazon didn't have the option this time? At least I didn't see it anywhere. After all the issues I don't want to be stuck with $600 doorstop. I just looked at the pool and only %60 were good units out of the box. I love the design so I wanna make the jump but need some reinforcement.
Anyone here from the U.S. how are you covering your investment with this phone?
Bought a second had H815 w/ country code CZ & already unlocked bootloader about 3 months ago off an ebay seller. Have really fallen in love with the phone but it started the bootlooping last week. With the disappearance of any real subsidies, I like to stay MVNO (Cricket) & mid price-point on my phones after several years of premium pricing w/ Apple / AT&T.
Post-bootlooping I initially bought a hot air station & was gonna try the repair but decided against and selling for parts / repair instead. I've been reviewing phone options and just like when I opted for the G4 initially, it still appears there's no competitor overall (for the money) given requirements of awesome camera and removable SD.
In seeking the best shot at carrying me for a couple of years, my question is, if I'm moving forward with another G4, should I opt for another euro H815 from Handtec or find a late serial AT&T. I'm holding out for G5 release to see what that does to AT&T G4 prices which right now are at $462 with the H815 at Handtec around $400+ whatever shipping.. I'd like to see $300 at AT&T but then again Handtec option has 2 year warranty. With the Handtec option, is one pretty well assured of getting a very late serial (and, btw, what ARE the latest batch numbers).
Thoughts? I _REALLY_ love this phone and there doesn't seem to be another great option. Or maybe G5 but unknown performer..
Has anyone USED the EU warranty through Handtec ? Will unlocking the bootloader void it if dealing with Handtec? Flashing is less and less important to me these days..
Thanks!
So Im on my second 'new' HTC 10 from ebay. First one was simply an open box to unlock listing. Not bad since it only takes like 5 min at most to unlock a phone. Nope phone came with nicks and scratches on the casing and screen. Didnt want to deal with it so I sent it back. Ordered another one 'brand new sealed in box'. Wrong again. Another shoddy box with chinese knock off accesories but atleast the phone was mint. After having problems connecting to LTE i decided to do a imei/serial number check to see if I probably recieved some weird non us compatible phone. Low and behold phone is a japan version with HTC warranty repairs for water damage. So now to return this one.
So if youre in a market for a new phone, ask for the imei before shipping and run it thru a HTC warranty checker such as imei.info
Either way if it comes in non HTC packaging, eg texured stickers on the box as opposed to the pressed textures of an oem htc box, chinese accesories like chargers with the writing all crooked and a generic sim removal tool instead of the tiny and square htc tool USE PRECATION. Sellers ive delt with so far are AMPM and x-channel on ebay.
Again BEWARE of used phones being passed as new.
Also does anyone have any links to brand new phones? They are non existent in the US and Amazon had them listed a couple months ago
https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B01G1NHAYI/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=all
There are a couple New listings there on Amazon still.
Both for Grey and Silver.
Is the 10 even made anymore? Why would you buy an old phone new?
Also, where is your negative feedback on these sellers, especially the one that barely has any feedback?
Yes, always IMEI search; the phone can be blacklisted becasuse someone didn't pay their bill/fulfill their contract. I provide that information when I sell my phones on Craigslist.
this is common sense

The HTC 10 isn't made any longer. But there could be leftover inventory not yet sold. Overall it's a very good phone and could be had for a lot less than a U11. The only trouble is, the HTC 10 is a crap-shoot on reliability. There have been enough reports of this battery issue where the phone suddenly shuts off when the battery level is somewhere down below half, and then gets caught a rebooting loop. If the phone is fully charged, you won't run into this issue. So, it's easy for a used/refurbished HTC 10 to be sold without the problem revealed upfront. Either a seller would confirm the issue doesn't exist, or you get it with a warranty. HTC has not formally acknowledged the issue. And apparently there's no way to know if your phone is a time bomb waiting to suffer the same fate.
Amazon is turning into eBay now. There are tons of counterfit goods being sold on Amazon. With a recent ruling, they can NOT be held responsible for these items, even if they fulfill shipping them from their warehouses. I just got a suspected used phone that was listed as NEW on Amazon, and it was even PRIME! Very sad that you can no longer trust Amazon for a hassle-free, no b.s. shopping.
I just bought a new condition Nokia 8 Sirocco for review purposes and then planned on reselling it, of course I dropped it first day I got it (luckily with the case on), but unluckily it shattered the front glass. Touch seems to work just fine however, BUT...
Nokia won't sell me the part or help me at all since I'm not in the same country as where it is available from their website.
I tried ordering parts through a cellphone repair store authorized with Nokia, and even called and emailed places in both the UK and Canada that were authorized Nokia repair stores, and they are unable to get me the part or repair it for me even if I pay shipping there and back as well as for the repair and part.
The one website I found that sells the part for a very reasonable 400 rs (5-6 usd) only ships within India.
I've wasted so much time trying to figure out how to just get the part, much less have it repaired. If anyone has any ideas, suggestions, or can help me out I'd be incredibly grateful, or if you can sell me the part directly that would work as well.
Thanks for your time !
Front Screen for Nokia 8
China is the main source of cell phone parts. So, I think you should try "Aliexpress". And they can deliver your product in the USA.

hi wiederganger,
i just bought a N8S with cracked screen, too good a price to not, i'd seen an ad via google for replacement screens for £69.99 in UK so thought id get it fixed easily, but when i got the phone i checked out the company on trust pilot, it is a scam, all bad reviews nothing good. I got in touch with nokia uk, they quoted £303GBP (about $400USD) for the repair, i can get new glass put in a samsung S8 for £70, so they are way over pricing it and withholding parts deliberately. i tweeted this info out, maybe they'll wake up as nobody would buy one if they realised the screen replacement cost. imho if they make things that break so easily they should be forced to supply replacement parts by law. or use a better screen that can be dropped, we all drop phones once in a while.
anyway i also searched around for glass only. everywhere in china i can find (aliexpress mainly) sells the whole LCD assembly for about $150USD, which is an option if all else fails. 1 place in india has screen only. again a hassle to get it sent overseas. but first ill wait a while, im sure the parts will become available. luckily this phone is usable as is, ill eventually fix it and sell it before i break the screen then buy another smasung because too much hassle to get parts for nokia. similar to apple who deliberately withhold parts also. just dont buy from these companies. i wont buy anything from nokia again. ill let you know how i get on.
Hi, I dropped my Sirocco 8 in December and the glass was toast but the screen worked okay. I bought it in the UAE and have since moved to Malaysia.
Nokia in Malaysia wouldn't touch it and told me that I'd need to send to the country of purchase for repair. I'm not keen on the idea of sending the phone back to the UAE so I too found the company in the UK (QMF) and have sent the phone to them. They've now told me that they cannot obtain the parts so I'm now scouring the web in the hope that someone can fix this phone for me. I loved this phone and if I'd known the trouble I'd have to get it repaired, I would have either not bought it or wrapped it in cotton wool!
If anyone has any luck with getting their phone repaired, I would appreciate if they could share details.
Have a good one.
I sent my N8S to the said repair shop for £69.99 to replace the screen -3 weeks ago. Today, they sent me an email wanting another £180 more for the LCD replacement. I told them to cancel the repairs and refunds will be 30 days.
FYI to anyone interested: Sprint is selling the Moto Z2 Force Edition for $120 for the full price, no contract or lease. I ordered one a few days ago after researching the device, GREAT PHONE! It pretty much has the internals of the Samsung GS8, so I thought I should buy one and I was not wrong, at least so far.
Sprint and Best Buy are selling at $120. Not sure if anyone else is.
Also looks like we have a bootloader unlock and root method? I was so pissed about the Galaxy S7 bootloader because I pre-ordered one. Never again will I pre-order, I sure learned my lesson there.
Only "major" problem so far is the tempered glass screen protector, which I did take note of during my investigative process before purchase. Turns out I also am a victim of that, so I suppose the route is the film-type screen protector.
In summary, buy this phone at the price point! You will not regret it. Also, Sprint's Kickstart $25/mo unlimited promo plan, you can still buy this phone at this price straight from Sprint. Best Buy, you can buy it unactivated for $159, and afaik Best Buy is sold in-store only.
Best of luck to you deal searchers out there!
Yea just got one at best buy and I'm on the sprint free one year unlimited, plan service is not bad.
Hm, with the screen. I will never understand what the people mean with the scratches. I have this phone for a very long time and no one scratch until today. There are people who tell that they got scratches just after one day. How? Ok, maybe I have to wait one year to see any scratches on my Z2 Force For 799€ the phone should be over the top.
i saw the sale to late.
sprint website is out.
local stores have stock but mysterisouly arent allowed to sell unless purchased online.
att and verizon willing to price match but both are out of stock!
ebay reseller scum have plenty of stock at 2-3 X the price!
i dont buy phones often but i would buy this in a heartbeat.
i am proud to say i am totaly hosed on this sale YAY!!!
