If i buy a new ATT Tilt 2 from Ebay or craigslist, will the warranty still apply?
AFAIK if you go through HTC you should be covered, they just want the serial number etc to verify it is under 12months old. Iv never had any problems with HTC europe...aside from them claiming blinking water damage & fobbing me off. Bastards.
Is it only a year in the States ?
In the EU manufacturers have to supply a two year warranty on all electrical goods by law, and there's meant to be an argument for it being up to six in the UK (!)
Just out of curioustiy will HTC honor the warranty? I got.it of eBay from a store and am curious if we get it?

Yes, you should have a 1 years warranty on it. You can call them and ask. Its a pain to use. You have to mail in your phone and its takes 2-3 weeks to get it back.

Expansys-USA says all the One X International units they sell have a standard 2 year warranty from HTC, not one.
There's a two years repair warranty from HTC. But they take like 2 weeks and sometimes don't fix.

Here are the warranty terms:
This limited warranty shall apply to the HTC product (the “Product”). HTC warrants that the product is at the time of its original purchase free of defects in materials and workmanship (“Limited Warranty”).This Limited Warranty is subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. This Limited Warranty is given only to the original purchaser of the Product (“Customer”). It shall neither exclude nor limit.
a) any statutory rights of the Customer or
b) any of the Customer’s rights against the seller/dealer of the Product.
2. This Limited Warranty shall last for twenty four (24) months from the date of original purchase for mobile devices and twelve (12) months for accessories (whether included in the mobile device sales package or sold separately) other than the media on which any software is provided, CDrom, memory card. (“Warranty Period”)
Customer shall present the PROOF OF PURCHASE upon claiming this Limited Warranty. This Limited Warranty may not be sold-on, assigned, transferred or given to any subsequent purchaser or acquirer of the Product. This Limited Warranty is only valid and enforceable in the countries where the Product is sold. Moreover, if Product is returned to be repaired under this Limited Warranty in the place other than where you purchased, HTC attempts to repair such Product but can not guarantee the outcome. Warranty service availability and response times may vary from country to country and may also be subject to a registration requirement in the country of purchase.
So here's why you're screwed...
- You're not the original purchaser
- You have no proof of purchase from an authorized reseller
- It was sold outside the country of intended sale
Samsung's policy is similar. Here's some advice on grey market phones. If you buy it from an authorized reseller in the country of intended sale you're covered. Handtec and Clove in the UK are authorized resellers and you have the benefit of a 24 month (vs. 12 month) warranty. Negri and Expansys-USA also handle warranty repairs for their customers by sending the phone to one of their overseas affiliates. Buy it from NewEgg, Amazon, eBay, and CL and you're on your own; meaning there is no warranty. And if they tell you differently they're lying.
SquareTrade covers grey market phones but you'll still need a receipt. They work with eBay and Amazon so purchases there may qualify. You'd need to verify that with ST.
Grey market phones aren't for everybody.

1) If you bought the phone in the U.S. the warranty is automatically void because it was sold outside the country of intended sale. HTC doesn't offer unlocked phones in the U.S. therefore no reseller is authorized to sell it. A U.S. receipt for a device not offered in the U.S. isn't going to cut it with HTC.
2) Whether from an individual or a reseller, it is highly unlikely that whoever you bought it from got it directly from HTC. Most likely they purchased it from an overseas reseller or distributor who themselves may not be authorized by HTC. Therefore, in HTC eyes, you're not the original purchaser.
The manufacturers don't want people buying grey market phones and enforce the warranty terms very strictly. Outside of buying it abroad from an authorized reseller or Negri and Expansys-USA you have no warranty protection and HTC really doesn't care. The One X is my fourth imported device and there have been horror stories on every forum when people discover that they have no warranty. At this point, your best bet is seeing if SquareTrade will cover it. If who you bought it from intentionally misled you might try and reverse the sale.
I recently made a claim with HTC USA for my One X as the USB/charging port stopped working. The guy who took the call placed me on hold to see if the phone would be covered under the US warranty as the phone was from a different country. He came back on the line and said it was good to go and I wouldn't have to call HTC in the country of origin to file the claim. Now whether or not they will cover the defect under warranty is in question as I have unlocked my boot loader and flashed a custom ROM. Phone is still in transit to HTC in Texas as of right now.

And when they look at your receipt or ask you for one if you didn't send it in at the same time. Great news though if it works.
I think it comes down to who answers the phone call. I had an unlocked vivid purchased on eBay three weeks of use resulted in a dead speaker. Contacted HTC shipped the phone got it fixed, no receipt, sales record, etc required they track all that by imei number I believe.
Plus never ever tell them you purchased it from a "friend" or eBay. Simply lie, if that goes against your moral character that's understandable. Despite what sellers state on eBay unless you can confirm they are an authorized re-seller/seller HTC doesn't legally have to honor the warranty as you would be owner number 2 even if the phone was never turned on.

While this is true, the country bit is not always enforced, especially for international phones. There are already multiple stories of HTC accepting repairs for example, for a UK phone sent in for repair in Germany/France/Somewhereelseineurope. Something I have come to understand about HTC is they are not Apple (for whom I used to do phone service). They are a lot more forgiving about the international nature of many of their phones and tend to cut you a bit more of a break so that you continue to buy their phones up front

Great to know. I'm used to dealing with Samsung and their Nazis when it comes to warranty enforcment. My i9100 is in the UK as we speak getting its bezel replaced so I can sell it. On paper, HTC and Samsung look about the same. With Samsung you know you're screwed. It's kind of rough with HTC because you won't know you're screwed unless you are.
This guy was just refused service on his international One X.

I wish I could find the email of someone higher up the HTC food chain and email them about the problem, I think its crazy they wouldn't honor the warranty.

I recently ordered unlocked HTC One in USA from HTC
I've been searching everywhere for a solid answer on this one. As it stands, it seems that both Irish and European law dictates that all electronic devices sold within the EU are obliged to have a 2 year warranty, which covers manufacturing faults.
It seems that the 'ribbon' cable connecting the screen to the main part of the device has become defective and i'm just wondering if anyone here would be able to give me a somewhat solid answer on where i stand with my warranty rights/status.
I'm eligible for an upgrade for on my carrier (Meteor), and it's a toss up between the One X and the S3, so i'm going to get one of these devices regardless (any thoughts on which one i should get while i'm at it?) but it seems pointless not to get my good ol' desire z repaired as it's been a joy to use especially with ILWTs ROM.
Any help you give me on answering this would be greatly appreciated! As i'm really not sure where i stand on this, and my carrier doesn't seem to be a great help with my query.

In Germany this is definitely covered by warranty. The exact same thing happened to my Desire Z (ribbon cable broken, black screen). I returned the phone to my dealer (electronic store in Germany) and they had my Desire Z repaired within 7 working days. It was all covered under warranty and did not cost a cent - they did not even care for S-OFF and Root (had Virtuous Sense 2.0 on it). At the time of the repair my phone was over one year old. So if the 2 year warranty also applies to Ireland (and my guess is it applies to all EU countries) you should be fine.

Thanks very much for responding, hopefully it does indeed apply to Ireland, i'll go down to another meteor store and try my luck there, it does all seem to point that it is indeed under warranty and i'll post here if i get have some luck getting it repaired.
Warranty and rooting
Well it does depend on the repair person. If he is a prick, he can deny to repair your rooted phone. Most of them are cool tho. If you can remove s-off, put stock rom, you will minimize chances of rejection.
My note 2 was bought in singapore on jan 16 2013 for full price , which was claimed as an international warranty by the shop person.
Now since my note 2 suffered SDS when i took it to samsung service center back in india , they rejected saying mobiles bought outside india are not considered in india. Please help me with a solution guys. its Rs.40,000 ( 750$+ ) not even a year used I did nothing wrong .. used it very carefully dint even root ! This is so cruel by samsung. I bought samsung instead of some Oppo or Mi2 china brand because its International brand now I feel very much cheated !
you had been con by the seller.
there no such as international warranty for samsung smartphone afaik.

I was conned by a shop too (in my home country) who sold a grey market item at full price, when my Note 2 got SDS I ended up having to pay US$100 to get it fixed. The phone was only 8 months old when SDS struck. I travel a lot and often bought items in the countries I visited. I realized warranty will be local but I expect the items will be usable for at least 3 years, however my Note 2 died after only 8 months of normal usage (e-mail, browsing, youtube). The phone even was at the latest stock 4.1.2 rom (supposedly contains the bug fix) when it died.
SDS is clearly a manufacturing defect issue, it happens to Galaxy S3 and Note 2 and who knows maybe Note 3 or S4 in next few months.. So many people were complaining about it on the Internet, it should be enough to warrant a product recall or replacement regardless of country of purchase.
This is gonna be my last Samsung phone.

I m in singapore.
First of all, did u bought from authorised samsung retailer ?
Or u just bought it at neighbourhood shops like in shophouses or chinatown shops, or simlim shops?
To make a very clear, if u bought it at samsung authorised retailer, there's no way they con u. Down here consumer is fully protected by lemon law. So official retailers won't do such thing.
If u r sayin the price is $750 most likely u were not buying from authorised dealer, and u r being con by the individual shop.
But to be frank, since first time I use handphone, nokia, siemens, samsung, there's no such thing as international warranty.
I m sorry, but a lesson learn for u.

This is different is not the same. Samsung sailed faulty devices and rejected the warranty. The problem was known from s3 and they continued to sell the same faulty material probably because they had big stock. Here we heard from users that they send them phones to warranty replacement and the phone many times came back with the same type faulty chip. This is totally wrong and there is no excuse for them.

1) Samsung does not offer international warranties - this is clear in their warranty agreement.
2) The buyer of the phone was lied to by the seller, not Samsung.
3) Samsung did not "reject" the warranty, they'll gladly repair it in the country is was purchased in.
Most international electronic companies have a policy that the device will be serviced in the country it was purchased in. This avoids grey market product and is far more manageable from a service standpoint.

Sorry mate.
Not defending samsung, neither working for samsung. But, from a point of businessman view, when his/her company has produce some fault products, he/she won't throw away the products.
Instead they will still try to sell until the products stock is zero, and if any customer come back with a valid warranty, his/her company will honour it. That is what business world like.
The case of the OP is different, he has been con by unauthorised reseller by confirming him there's an international warranty for the said product if purchase from the said retailer.
And the OP has carelessly accept it without any further checking on the warranty card.
We, as a consumer have to be more careful in purchasing the products that we want.

OK you speaking from a point of businessman, my profession is trader many years now, sometimes not many i had received faulty goods, at once I had return them back to factory and when this wasn't possible I used them or I gave them presents to my friends but never sailed them and if something faulty I didn't understood and went to my customers I changed it at once with no more questions and I asked to excuse me for them hardship. You speak like businessman you said, you think this guy he'll buy Samsung again or you think he'll keep his hardship for himself. The successful business is when is happy the customer with the product and how much flexible you are when he has any problem with it. The happy customer he'll come again and bring and others to your business. This is the law of the market if you want to stay for long.
Now if you are sailing faulty hi end devices and you have the knowledge of this and after you are saying sorry I can't accept your warranty because of my policy sorry but this is naming cheating in my country not company policy.

But if ur money is all invested on the faulty products, will u just throw or give as a gift?
What u can do is just to honor ur customer when they come back to u.
Samsung will still honor OP handset, provided he brings back to singapore samsung.
Same thing... when ur customer bring ur product overseas, will u change at his/her country? Or will u ask him/her to bring back to u?

You should send it to Samsung Singapore for repair, don't forget to send an invoice copy, you must pay to send and receive it back...
But, first contact Samsung Singapore to agree all details.

In all countrys except ones from the European Union there is a warranty specific to each country. In the EU there is a free market and that is why the warranty of an electronic device bought from any of the EU countrys is valid in any country part of EU.

I am interested in purchasing a used OnePlus 5t as North America is now sold out. I found what seems to be a good device with close to $200 CAD off the original purchase price.
The question now is the device was sent in for a warranty repair, the seller states that the device bricked when they tried to factory reset it for sale. The work done was they changed the motherboard.
Now since the device doesn't have any water resistance, are their any risks or anything to watch it for since the cover was taken off? The device is covered under warranty for another 7 months.
Any feedback would be great. I'm curious about peoples experience with warranty services and the durability of the device.
