I bought my phone new back in late December and only after about a month of use got the oil spot problem and my volume button would stick and bring up the volume control over and over basically making the phone unusable. So I got and RMA from HTC repair, sent it in, got it back about a week later but the volume button problem was still there. So I sent it in again and they finally fixed it. Here it is 5 months later, same exact problems come back "phone is still in warranty until 01/2010" so I call RMA center, tell them to submit an RMA with the SAME exact issues as before on my account and I send it in but this time they respond with this:
Diagnosis:
Newton ring (oil spot) indicates excessive pressure to LCD
Button failure
Suggested Repair:
Replace LCD and refurbish
Total Repair Price:
$202.57
What gives?! I call them and they say under the phones new circumstances the warranty is NOT covered so there is the charge. My question is how can they repair it the first time at NO cost under warranty and this time say it was excesive use and given that it has the EXACT same problems as before want to charge me for repair?? Am I justified in calling them and complaining?
Hello, I know this is a WAY LONG PAST RELEVANT ITEM for you, but I found your thread in my search. I have had similar problems before with HTC AMERICA, but this time they have gone too far, so I am bumping your thread for this occasion, and simply directing you to my current thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002951
I would just like to ask if you would read Post #1 and tell me if the experience overall sounds similar in tone and attitude to the one you describe.
It disgusts me to read of your situation. The one that I am describing currently is for my HTC DESIRE, under warranty, warranty not being honored.
However, YOUR SCENARIO, and i realize it's now 2 years old, sounds more like my FIRST encounter with HTC AMERICA with a brand new HTC HERO, with a wifi receptor problem. (I still had my HTC /T-Mobile Wing and it was picking up WIFI signals perfectly everywhere, in my home, on the street, in cafes... but the new Hero -- no.)
HTC-AMerica diagnosed that indeed it was broken. The phone was just weeks old so I asked "don't i just get a new phone?" They said NO, WE HAVE TO REPAIR IT. So i was out of a phone for several weeks. Then it comes back. No charge, that's great. But same problem. Whatever they did, didn't fix it. I called and said this is ridiculous, they said "send it back, here is new RMA"...
I said "You're kidding right? A brand new phone, you repair it, it didn't fix it, same problem, and you want me to REPAIR IT AGAIN? Isn't it time you just give me a new phone?"
"No, per policy blah blah, we must repair it".... I told them they were nuts, and my warranty was useless, what is their problem, and I was now forced to use my SECONDARY INSURANCE with "SquareTrade.com" ---- They were of course like "whatever"
And SquareTrade paid out the full price of the phone within 48 hours.
That was with the HTC Hero.
I'd almost forgotten about that. because i then bought the HTC Desire, a phenomenal phone... til i had this recent warranty problem.
Anyway, I'm bumping your thread because i intend to make an issue out of this. Any help on your end would be great. (IE case # ect.... but, i total;ly understand you have long since moved on, so, don;t worry about it. Just bumping this is helpful. thank you.

Ok, in less that a year this phone stopped breading.
I was hearing music and browsing the web when suddenly stopped working, went completely off.
So, I thought, the battery went out of power... normal in my phone. Went to charge it and NOTHING... changed the battery and NOTHING... changed the charger and NOTHING.
Ok so, lets contact the seller on Ebay, he says, go to Samsung and you will not have a problem.
Went to Samsung, after a LONG time chatting with them, they finally asked me for the IMEI and they said that was not covered by Samsung. (Bought it 03/08/2012) from this guy at Ebay.... theoretically new with one year of warranty.
Went back to the seller and no answer yet.
I writing my case here because I know more than one of you guys have experience with this... maybe you could give me a hint in this process.
Thanks in advance....

Nothing you can do to revive it yourself.
I'd fill a complaint with eBay/Paypal. If you can't get the warranty out your new object because it's supposedly out of it's 1 year warranty, then clearly something isn't right.
Well, seems like Samsung has a HIGH POLICY of trying to make you withdraw the repair claim...
But after I've pushed pushed and pushed, they accepted MY invoice from the guy that sold me the phone and "seems" that they are going to fix it for free.
Will be back with the END of the story soon.
Just trying to leave the history here for any future Nexus S claim/repair....
:good:
They've fixed it and for free.

Hello all,
I am hoping HTC isn't monitoring this because the process is still on going but they cannot go back on their word as it is printed, saved, PDF'd, recorded via phone and all in the cloud in case haha.
My original problem was that the charging port was whacked out. You know how most of us have to prop up the charging cable to our laptops or other devices because one single pin out of a million decided to move so you have to Macgyver a solution? That's what I had to do at first...and then it just started saying "Slow Charging...use original charger." So I've always used the original charger and have three rapid charger 2.0's. At first I thought those three were causing an issue so I went to the original charger that came with the phone and the original cable...neither did the trick and I swapped out like 15 USB-microUSB cables and with different USB-AC units. Anyway, it got to the point where I had to plug the cord into the phone and then wrap it underneath once and let it stay for about 8-10 hours to charge. I was getting tired of it which is why I ended up with that 3rd rapid charger 2.0. The 2nd was because Digital River screwed me. But anyway...point is: there is definitely a problem with the charging port.
I first call Verizon Wireless and ask questions outside of unlocking, S-Off, Rooting, etc which my phone had been until HTC will probably reset when I get it back ... Small price to pay for what they did for me. They said they could overnight a phone to me, at no charge, and I'd have to send the original phone back. And then the gentleman happened to mention the fact that IF VZW determines a cracked screen or other damage outside the purview of the limited warranty, they would charge me $299 for the new phone onto my bill. I laughed and said I'd call HTC. I call HTC and they said "since it's not charging, and you're still under warranty, we'll fix it free of charge if you send it back to us. We'll even send you a prepaid label." Even though it went 3-day select throughout a weekend, they got it on the 16th and made the judgment that in order to fix the charging port, they'd have to charge me $200 for a new screen. I asked why I needed a new screen if the problem was the charging port. Under their (what I thought was a blanketed warranty) was a clause that stated "If the damaged area that IS covered by the warranty but there is also damage outside of the warranty, the warranty is null and void." My phone had a minor hairline fracture. Literally like an arch that you couldn't see with a dark background.
When I got the email today about the quote for $200 I went ballistic and emailed them back in their quote system telling them to call me regarding this matter. No one did. I happened to chat with an HTC Rep on the 16th who said "If it is covered under our warranty, there will be no quotation." And by quotation they mean the damn $200 quote. I remember her saying in that chat (and I ALSO PRINTED IT OUT that night because I knew I had an ace up my sleeve." Even though she didn't say "yes" completely...she left it open to interpretation that it would be covered regardless of other damage. My original thought was: "if the charging port is legitimately damaged from wear and tear 'which it was' then why charge for a new screen?" I chatted with someone today and they said that since there is other damage (that minor hairline crack), they cannot fix the charging port because they have to remove the screen and risk the screen cracking even more. I told them I'd take on that risk because I wasn't paying $200 for a new screen when all I needed was for them to fix the damn charging port! We kinda went back and forth in the chat and he ended up saying "I understand what you're saying and let me call RMA to see what they say." He then told me to call them and tell the person my number to look up my issue and then contact RMA internally. The reason as to why HTC can't contact me directly is beyond me but not the point. So I call, talk to a dude from Canada and he transfers me to a dude in the RMA department out of the country of Colombia. This fellow said that the reason for the new screen needed to be charged is because they have to send the phone back in better condition than how they got it. Like I said, I told them I'd assume all risk for them taking off the screen to repair the USB. He said this is not possible because if the screen breaks even more, then there will be issues and it's their policy that the screen be replaced because that IS out of warranty. I really was bummed at that point and just asked "come on, can you please just take the screen off, repair the USB charging port and we go on our merry way?" I told him they could also void and null ANY AND ALL future warranty issues as a sign of compromise from me.
I did not want to go through Asurion and pay $100 for a refurbished phone. To me, a refurbished phone is like a house of cards waiting to fall apart. There are probably OEM parts from initial manufacturing mixed with newer or older parts from other functioning M8 phones and I just don't like that. If it was my last resort, then yes. Obviously I'd pay the $100 over the $200. The dude said he'd come down on the quote and "only" charge $150. I told him about my Asurion insurance and he said that they could ship the phone back the way they got it and I could go that route. At this point, I was *almost* out of options for free servicing. I played the ace up my sleeve regarding my original chat on the 16th with one of their reps who said something longer but said "it should not be a quotation," after asking that I wanted 100% clarity and confirmation it would be covered. I told him the name, the time, the date, etc of the chat. He came back after a few minutes and said...the woman you chatted with actually did state "If the issue is not outside the warranty, it should not be a quotation" so yes at first I didn't mention she said that first part because I didn't think it was relevant lol. After stating that I was about to go H.A.M. on this guy but he cut me off by saying he got authorization to cover the quotation and that the phone would be fixed free of charge within a few days and then shipping out via UPS Ground. He mentioned that they would fix the charging port, PUT A NEW SCREEN ON!!!!!, flash the original factory software which isn't even Android 5.0.x. It comes back as Android 4.4.4 which I thought was ridiculous too. But anyway at that point...I felt victorious. It took me 30 minutes in the chat room today with HTC and then about 30 minutes on the phone with the RMA guy in Colombia. When he first came back and said the entire quote of the chat lady from a couple days ago, like I said, I almost went ballistic but then he said HTC would cover the quotation. I told him that he probably should have led with the fact that HTC would take care of it free of charge.
I then asked how long, etc. I also asked about the software. Seeing as my phone is S-Off, Unlocked, *OFFICIAL* and rooted...I wanted to make sure there were no surprises. I didn't specifically bring up those points but I asked again for clarification: "From here on...no matter what the issue...it will be fixed free of charge?" and he said yes. So that statement also covers the fact that when they turn it on and see the custom recovery of TWRP 2.6.x.x and all the lovely things I've done to void the warranty for sure, that I'm covered and I have to be since he said it.
I know this was a long post and I apologize but I wanted to let people know of my experience with HTC. One thing that surprised me the most was that I bought the phone in April of 2014. And yet the phone was still under manufacturer warranty until June 11th (I called about the situation on the 10th of June!). I think I got it April 11th of 2014 which would mean a 12-month warranty PLUS a 3 month extended manufacturer warranty? I don't know. I don't care anymore...my phone is being fixed and I'm getting a new screen. I'm pretty pumped up about it even though I won't have it for another week.
I went on this forum to see other people's experiences with issues with warranties and almost 100% said that it didn't matter if there were software changes like unlocking or S-Off'ing but cracked screens and whatnot would definitely be an issue.
FOLKS: DO NOT GO TO A VERIZON WIRELESS corporate store if you think you have a hardware or software issue and need a repair!!! I REPEAT: DO NOT GO TO A VZW Corporate Store! You can read other people's issues. I'm just glad I read those before I did what I did and just sent it directly to HTC and then talked my way into almost a new phone pretty much. When they run their tests at the store, they'll notate that there is a crack and it's S-Off, unlocked, etc. Here's the kicker: even if they don't notate it and you think you're getting a new phone in the mail (which you will) and the factory gets the phone and says "there's a crack" or there's too much physical damage...they will charge your account $299 for this specific phone at this point in the year.
That will then stay on your phone's SN/IMEI for the rest of its short existence. They put it in their system and therefore there's no way around it. I quietly asked the girl to take a look at my phone before I shipped it to HTC to see if Verizon would just send me a phone. She looked and said that yeah it's a hairline crack but I won't say anything. She was so awesome (and pretty damn cute).
I guess the point of all of this was for me to write out my frustration, displeasure and then elation after the fact. You know what also bothered me? The speed of shipping. The label they sent me to send to them was UPS 3-day select. I will get my phone back via UPS Ground. FedEx came Tuesday to drop off an empty box for me to put my Powerbeats2 Wireless in to send back to Apple (grrrrr Apple since they bought Beats by Dre after I bought them). The driver waited for me to open the empty box and put the earbuds in, tear off the label which had a label underneath pre-printed, overnight priority by 10:30am. So I got the empty box Tuesday the 16th, had the driver wait like 2 minutes, Apple got it the morning of the 17th and by evening they sent me an email saying they'd ship a replacement free of charge, overnight via UPS! So it went out Tuesday the 16th...and I'm supposed to receive it today (the 18th) by 5pm. How crazy fast is that? 48-72 hour turnaround with me not going anywhere. And now UPS allows you say "leave package even if signature is required." No way HTC, Google, etc would ever go to these lengths. It takes about 6-9 total business days of actual transit back and forth with my HTC phone currently. I sent it on the 12th. They got it the 16th. Diagnosed it either that night or the 17th and then this whole debacle started. He said I'd get it by the 27th since it would probably ship out Monday the 22nd. And that's IF UPS Ground delivers on Saturdays. I don't even know if they do anymore.
I think I wrote this much because I'm so pumped up still and happy haha. If you actually read this entire post...I thank you. And hopefully you gained some 411 about how to go about a warranty exchange/repair. If you have even the tiniest hairline fracture of a screen, you're screwed unless you're within your 6 months (or is it 12 months even with new M8 purchases and not the M9?). This was an awful day to begin with...and now it just got a ton better. I'm officially off the hook for dropping my phone a couple times but only once did it crack and it was a hairline crack at that.
I FEEL SO TRIUMPHANT RIGHT NOW!!!!! And this all went down 2 hours ago. It took me about 45 minutes to write this.
Thank you for reading. Which I highly doubt 99% did all the way through. PM me for the bulleted version lol.
I'm just posting this as an fyi, I hope that fits the spirit of this forum. I have a Pixel 128GB that's completely stock, and it just died this morning, no warning, no apparent reason. It's in perfect condition, never dropped or damaged. It was full charged this morning, worked fine for a couple of hours, and then the next time I tried to use it, it was completely unresponsive. Doesn't react when the charger is connected, just dead.
It's covered under the Google warranty, but it's going to be painful waiting for the replacement. I know it's been mentioned in previous threads, but they make you pay for a replacement phone (as a credit card hold) in order to ship you a new phone. Then they release the hold once they receive the old phone. They told me I'll receive a brand new phone, not a refurbished one. Also, if this ever happens to you, just know that you can select expedited shipping when you place the order for the replacement; they didn't tell me this (I was on the phone w/ google support) and so I missed that opportunity. And there's apparently no way to revise the order to apply expedited shipping, even while the order is still in 'Processing.'
Same phone here. I thought mine was dead too. Phone just instantly shuts off. Need to long hold power button restart. Happened to me numerous times in the past 12 hours. I am unlocked and rooted. I wonder what's going on.

Same thing happened to my pixel today. Was listening to a podcast when it just turned off and won't turn back on, even while on the charger. Not happy! It's only 3 months old, this shouldn't be happening to thee devices. I bought from a retailer, hopefully Google support helps...
Are you using newest february security patch?
Maybe unrelated but I just had similar problem on my old Moto X '14. I'm using it as a backup device on Fi and I accidentally let it run out of power (no idea how much battery was left when it shut down). The phone is running a Nougat rom and it appeared completely dead until a found the suggestion to plug it into "the strongest charger I owned". Did this and let it sit for a while and it came back to life and charged normally. Just thought I'd mention this as it seems to be a problem with Nougat itself (had the same thing happen to my tablet also running Nougat). I'm now scared to let my Pixel run out of juice.

3 devices is nothing. If they sold 3 million Pixels, that means that 99.999999% are okay so far. That's a good amount. ?
Edit: Double post - please disregard.

Same here, I bought from a retailer. My headphone jack was making some serious noise when plugging in the headphones, I called up Google and they sent me an RMA. Three days later they had my phone and shipped the new (not refurbished) phone to me. Got it three business days later. So yes, in short they will support warranty on pixels not purchased thru Google play.
I just finished a long useless chat with Google support. I have to go to the retailer for warranty support. If they won't help then I can go back to google. I'm in Australia if that makes any difference

This was my experience too (including the same hardware problem!).
Similar thing happened to me. The phone started rebooting about once a day over the last week. I woke up and it was stuck on the bootloader. It wouldn't load the OS or the recovery.
Bought mine through project Fi but unfortunately its already almost 3 months old and they would only send me a refurbished device.
Pixel also died...no apparent reason

I felt like I could have written that exact post. Had phone for less than a year, phone also died for no apparent reason. Google support was useless. Had to pay for a refurbished pixel (which costs more than buying new Pixel $800 refurbished, $500 new?)...and now am on a week long waiting game for the replacement. I'm not sure why Google doesn't replace with a new phone vs a refurbished phone. Also disappointed that it takes almost a full week to get replacement. I asked about expedited shipping, they told me it was not an option. Overall disappointed. I may sell my new refurbished phone and buy something more reliable.

I had the same thing happen. I RMA'd the first one and received a brand new one as a replacement. After about three months, the new one died the same exact way. I RMA'd that one and received a refurbished one. So far, it's been fine... but I don't trust it.
Same here

It's a minor hw/sw defect in a very extremely small portion of the phones and isn't permanent and they painlessly replace the phones with brand new ones in a few short days after the request is processed. Good luck filing and winning a class action suit against Google over this.
You guys are lucky. This happened to me, but my warranty expired by three weeks. Google refuses to help me. I took it to their authorized repair and they cannot do anything to get it working.

"update" i called google several times and they finally agreed to replace my phone, for free!. I told them that there were a lot of pixel phones suffering the same issues. I even offered to pay to have it repaired/replaced, and i was 5 weeks out of warranty
Same thing happened to me. Was out of the 1 year warranty and the google extended warranty i had to pay $90. This was the third phone it happened to also.

Just happened to me too! Pixel XL died over night, went through google hardware chat support on my pc... to find my phone was out of warranty by 1 day. Looks like they are processing an exception though for me and replacing it (kind of vague though about what they are going to do on their end, so not actually sure what they implied). I also took it to their authorized repair store ubreakifix as well. The technician put in a new battery, screen and charge port with no luck, phone came back as not repairable. Said there was a tiny amount of water damage but nothing was fried so he ruled that out (my phone got a tiny amount of rain on it about 3 weeks ago is only thing I can recall). He believed there is a larger problem with the power mgmt system, another person behind me in line had the same exact issue and outcome.
My phone is also basically dead microphone won't work headphone jack won't work can't record at times have to restart the phone multiple times to get it to work again then craps out again when headphones plugged in straight static then other times you plug it an there's no sound at all also getting restarts
