Does anybody know of a place to get repairs done because o2 have charged me over £100 to replace the connecter port for the charger?Any help would be much appreciated
Same here and it took 4 weeks to get it done.
O2 will charge you £160 for a screen / port
infact they will charge you for even looking at the phone
yea thats like with my IPAQ 1945. i got charged over £100 for a screen crack fix which is kinda stupid. luckly it ws coverd by my insurance.
Saw a list of HTC-approved repair shops once.
Most of them were owned by Carphone Warehouse so you could give your local shop a ring. It was a long list so there must be one near to you.
I recently bought a droid incredible from my friend for 40 bucks. A few days ago he dropped it in the river. He said that when he took it out of the water and the screen worked but the touch screen did not. He then took the battery out to let it dry out. Today i got the phone from him. I am hoping to repair it and save money vs buying a working one online. Currently i cannot get the phone to take a charge. Im going to try a different battery tomorrow to see if its just the battery that is shot. Like i said im really hoping i can fix this myself and not have to take it to a repair shop. Does anyone have any ideas as to what parts i may need. Im assuming a new glass digitizer. But if anyone has gone down the same road please share advice. I did find one website that will fix it for 60 bucks but i'd rather not send it anywhere. If i missed any key imformation let me know. Thanks
You can pretty much rebuild the entire phone cheap using this website.. http://www.globaldirectparts.com/HTC-Droid-Incredible-Replacement-Repair-Parts-s/6283.htm
Just a quick question, my earpiece has died and the phone is still under warranty and running stock rom so im gonna send the phone back to Motorola UK for repair.
Cant of course get through on the phone so gonna book it in on line and was just wondering how long its likely to take ?
Thanks, Sam
I just got my defy back from S'pore service center also due to the earpiece defect.I think the service center should complete it within 3 weeks. I sent mine back to the shop where I purchased from and got it 1 month after,however I checked through Motorola & they finish fixing it 2 weeks later & ready for collection on 3rd week.
The phone seems more solid when back from warranty,beside the earpiece,the shaking sound when I shake my phone also gone.They seem like changing whole top portion(LCD) for my phone because I saw my defy back with the stock screen protector (like new from box),even the frame beside screen got plastic wrapped
Just received my defy
Had the same problem with the ear piece.
had to send from Portugal to France to repair. took about 3 weeks to have it back...its working perfect now a.d they send me an extra batery anda back cover
5 star service.
Contacted motorola and always anwsered to my questions.
Just paid the post office for the sending of the phone.
Hey there, this is my second post on here. I'm amazed that it's my second time having bad experiences with the Zenfone 2 when I see everyone so happy with it. Ok, here I go.
A month ago, my (one month old) phone died, you can check the issue and answers here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/zenfone-2-charging-dead-t3149072
I asked for a replacement and was denied, sent the phone for RMA instead (spent around $90 to send it and another $10 to get it back, cause I live in South America and had to pay for any costs sorrounding mailing).
I was pretty frustrated already, because I had chosen to spend $200 for a phone for the first time in my life and I ended up spending $300. I expected it to return at least in better shape than how I sent it. When it got back, it had a deep scratch on the case cover that barely missed the camera lens by a milimeter (apparently someone used an xacto knife to cut the foam wrap open and did it so well it even cut through the phone, real classy RMA service indeed).
I emailed Asus about the problem and wrote a review on Amazon posting the before/after pictures and whatnot. Asus replied they'd send me a new case cover at no cost, which I was really satisfied with. The phone worked fine for 10 days.
Yesterday when I woke up and turned off the phone's alarm clock, it went dead and then it started turning on and off repeatedly on its own. I got scared so when it turned on finally, I turned it off and left it like that the whole morning cause I had to go to work. At 12:30 in the afternoon I decided maybe it was a good time to check on it and when I grabbed it I realized it was really, REALLY hot, like 'about to burst into flames' hot. I freaked out and pried the case cover open and took out the sim and memory card, left the phone on the floor so that it would cool down. An hour later it was still hot. Two hours later it cooled down but it kept turning on and off on its own.
I only use Asus accesories and I've never dropped the phone, I've never rooted it nor customized it in any way (haven't even had time to do much with it, actually) so what's happened just eludes me. I'm really mad about this and I want to ask you what I should do.
I sent an email to Asus asking for a refund, but even IF they do agree to that I'll have to send the phone back, and by the time this is over I'll have spent the price of two Zenfone 2 in, like, 3 months.
I don't even have money left to buy another phone, I'm not sure what I should do and want to ask if anyone here has experienced similar issues or knows how to solve this.
Is ASUS Customer Service and RMA always like this? Is it because I live very far away and can't sue the reason they might not be taking my case seriously?
Sorry if it's too long or rant-ish, I'm just over my head with this phone x_x
thanks!
Hello there,
Yes I had the same turning on and off problem so I sent it for repair through RMA.
You can check my post I made on Zentalk here : http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=26940
I experienced the same issue when experimenting with smart lock. Turning on smart voice and smart location sent my phone into a series of reboots . Once I turned them of things returned to normal.

Smart lock wasn't on, as far as I know (nor smart voice or smart location).
I sent my complaint to ASUS last week, it's been five days now and it should've been answered within 48hs. I'm fuming now. Phone still doesn't work.

Dear Blasterkat101,
In regards to the power issue, is the phone charging showing any LED indicator light when power is connected?
Have you tried a different USB cable?
Please visually inspect USB cable and connector port on the phone to see if there is any obstruction or damage.
Have you tried connecting to a PC to see if it can be recognized?
Sincerely,
Frank

ZF2
I feel your pain. I purchase my ZF2 in July, it failed in September with the cover sensor constantly thinking I was opening and closing the phone. I paid $25 for the advanced RMA, then sent me a replacement phone that was well used and stained.
The stained phone worked good for about a week, then the power button failed. I paid the $25 for another advanced RMA, they sent me a brand new phone (looked new in box) and this one was also a dud. Would not power on at all, and wouldn't respond to being connected to the charger.
Now I have to RMA this 3rd phone, wait for it to be processed (can't have 2 RMA's at the same time) and try to open a new standard RMA after Thanksgiving.
In the mean time, I'm using my Nokia 1520 with Windows 10 (another converstation)
I know that ASUS is not a top tier provider, but this has been an unbelievable process.
Had one do that
I love my zenfone 2 so much that when my son needed a new phone I got him one. His did the same thing after 2 days. After fussing with it for 20 minutes I was able to get it into the factory recovery. A factory reset later and his phone was fine.
I had purchased 2 ZenFone 2, 1 for me and my wife on 5/11/2015.
Well my wife's Zen2 wouldn't turn on and it had a full charge 3 days ago.
I've tired a hard reset connected to a different usb cable and also charger, messed with it for 2 days and NADA it was DEAD......
She doesn't use the phone much maybe 1 gb of data for the month and under 100 mins and she hates to text..
But I did get the extended warranty from Newegg for $25 per phone and they will email you a gift card for the same price of what I paid for the phone.
As soon as the Tracking info hit UPS the gift card came in my email within 36 hours and I ordered her The ZenFone 2 Laser which should be here Tomorrow hopefully she will be happy with it.

My support experience with ASUS has been truly awful. Has anyone else seen this happen? It's almost like ASUS knows the phone is a dud, and they're just going through the motions.
I have to be the most unlucky S.O.B to break his phone in less than 48 hours. I was getting out my truck today and my beautiful phone slipped out of my shorts pocket and my screen was obliterated. I searched but i did not find any replacement screens which is what i expected. Any have any idea how to get it repaired ??
Given how new the phone is... probably only Razer can repair it currently.
I know Razer has a repair place in California. Verified that on the phone. Replacements get shipped to HK, repairs go-to Cali. (For USA orders)
