US Version-> How warranty handled? - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

I see on Huwaei's site that the Mate 9 is warrantied for 1 year. For some reason I had the impression it was 2.
Anyway, can anyone that has experienced warranty with them inform me as to how warranty is handled, and time turnaround? Send to China? 5 days? 3 weeks?
Thanks

Have you tried getting in touch with their customer support and ask that question?

No. I presumed that someone who actually experienced it might give a more accurate representation.

In EU it's 3 years warranty. Check in HiCare app what the warranty is in US.
In China it's 1 year.

Thanks. Installed the app.
Looks like 1 year, and 1 service center in the U.S., in Plano, Texas.
That just leaves info on how responsive they are. I may call the center and inquire about their policies etc.

More accurate, then their official services? I doubt it.

I'm trying to apply for warranty in China from Europe, but I'm in the dark here.
If you found a solution or maybe a third party that offers this service, that would be of great help.

Could you plz post more pictures, and maybe some with a very litle more light?
But I am afraid its hardware related, but you should have no problem with Google's RMA.

Can't really see it in the light but its clear in the picture uploaded. What's Google RMA ?

ok.
I have zoomed each pictures centered to the dot.
To me it sound like hardware defect and you should send your phone back to Google to get a new one.
First contact them in order they can have a look to that :

Call them back : you can return your device and then they will send you an other one. This way you won't be temporaly charged.
What I mean is that this is the other way to go : send the mobile first, then receive an other one WITHOUT credit card debit.

I tried they said they only do advanced replacement so they need to take £299 for the phone as insurance then they put it back on the card when i send my defected device and they receive it.

I am realy not sure this is a legal RMA process in Europe.
I have had a closer look to PlayStore RMA's rules, and for France it clearly states that you have 15 days after you bought the device to ask for refound EDIT : and no need to explain why :
-15 days to contact Google's RMA's services
- then 7 days to ship your device to Google
- then they have 14 days to refound your Google wallet's account.
Try to check return policies for your country, but I think they are all the same for all European country.

That's too bad it's quite the phone for it's price. Maybe check out the Moto G if it's available in your area. Any phone has a chance of defects however.
I emailed them and asked how long until i receive my return package they said
"Hello,

Best place to buy in the UK?

Is there a goto place to buy in the UK with a UK warranty?
Had a nightmare with oneplus and wont' buy chinese again until they have some local presence.
The Honor 8 in blue looks great, so hence the question of where to buy.
vmall.eu looks like its not UK based...
Thanks
There's cheaper but i picked mine up from Amazon just for the peace of mind of their returns.

Your best bet is to purchase the Honor 8 UK edition thru vmall.eu (https://www.vmall.eu/uk/honor-8-blue-292297/) which includes a warranty (see specifics here: https://www.vmall.eu/uk/warranty-policy/). If you have any other questions regarding the device and warranty policy, please let us know. (NS)
I got mine from a three store in the uk. No other stores stock these.
Can't go wrong mines blue looks gorgeous
vmall.eu's shipping seems from Expansys?

i phoned them and told them I don't need a sim card thanks.. already got one, so got just the phone for 339. If you get told they can't sell them on the phone and online only, then hand up and call back until you get someone who knows what they are doing. took me three attempts. must be why they are called three!
Buying them Honor devices from Three UK you get the same warranty as if bought online via Vmall.UK.So trust assured you good on all accounts and Vmall will deal with you directly once bought.
Got my partners from three today a d on the phone there is like a customer service portal, typed in the imei and she has a two year warranty

I found only three mobile selling it for me and like mentioned i phoned up three and told them i had no need for a sim card and just wanted the phone to which the lady was more then helpful, mine arrives tomorrow as i ordered Sunday ...

Thanks, I have read those and they don’t specify who the repairer is and what country they reside, so it isn’t clear if its shipped abroad to get cover or done in the UK and are subject to UK laws?

Likely just me, but won’t ever buy from these people again, so they are off the list. Poor excuse for a company.

Thats an option but left three many years ago as they don’t know what customer service is and we have no coverage from them.

Between 3 and Expansys, Amazon are by far the best option for me, but they only cover the device for one year and then you’d have to go to honour or others?
Just not clear and although it looks a lovely device, I will steer clear until it becomes clear who i deal with if anything should go wrong.
Thanks for all the input, much appreciated.

Its SIM only and unlocked. Use what ever carrier you want and get the phone with generic firmware for £339
The phone from three is unlocked so you can put what ever sim in you want.

I think 1 year is good enough already... usually after 1 year, manufacturer will stop/slow down upgrade, at that time, you have to rely on developers from XDA or places alike.

i have to agree here, most places will only offer a year anyway as after this they normally have slowed down production and are at that point concentrating on another product.
if its that much of a problem about aftercare i would personally find good insurance for your phone after the year is up @OP
i have insurance on all my electronics so i never pay a thing for breakdowns etc.

Huawei any good at honoring their warranty?

Anyone have any experience with Huawei and having a handset repaired or replaced?
Just came across the image below and would love to know if I can count on having a 2 year warranty (regardless if purchased online), 1 year screen replacement, plus door to door service. From the comments they say you just need to hang on to your receipt and it'll be honored. If true, they should advertise this a whole lot more imo.

Huawei`s warranty is fine afaik, its some service centers that try to rip off their costumers. Like in the Netherlands we have Dynafix wich is the only certified Huawei servicecenter and it has a realy bad reputation. They try to charge people even if they have warranty and the percentage of alledged mositure related defects is disturbingly high and very questionable.

That's the sort of thing I'm afraid of. Guess it's a crap shoot.
@op: where did you find that pic? When I go into the app the screen replacement thing is only for 3 months instead of 1 year.
Or maybe it's different per country?

I'm not on Facebook and since I live in Belgium I can't access Facebook without an account either. But I guess the Facebook post was made for non-EU users? For EU warranty on electronic devices is 2 years standard, but Huawei offers 3 years in my case. Also the 1 on 1 service is also only 3 months. So there are small differences.
I do own the EU version of the phone.

Gr5 2017/Honor 6x Bad Customer Support

I'm having a problem with my gr5 2017
the Display of the gr5 2017 has some white spot and huawei customer service told me they will replace my display
But it's about month and they telling me they don't have parts.
so i complain to huawei Global and still no answer.
they told me to contact local support.
is there anyone that can help me to contact them
i will never buy a huawei product again.
They should provide a solution. When they don't have the parts they can swap the phone. You have warranty. Period!
Give them a written final date to provide a solution. If they don' t: sue them!

Yeah but not really as they shipped more than 100 millions smartphone this year and may be leapfrogged Apple in the market share unless the actual figures come out.
There is a tough competition between apple and Huawei now and being pocket friendly, it may go up anytime.

I have bought few smartphones from them and always an excellent experience.
Also few weeks ago I had to send back my Sony Xperia 1 Mark 2 as it stopped working!
I emailed them, explained the problem and was told to make a short video of the problem,
Then they emailed me a prepaid DHL return label and that was it!
From start to finish, I got a brand new replacement in less than 2 weeks time.
Good luck.
