[Q] Faulty Volume Down Button - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
Recently i have noticed that to lower the volume i have to press and hold for a second the down volume button on the side or it won't register. Whereas the up volume button works perfectly with a quick click.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Its not a problem but a bit annoying, if i was to send it to HTC i presume they would fix or replace for free? I might send it in because i have a few scratches on the case and hopefully they will replace it

I have a similar problem. But my volume button doesn't work at all. And it doesn't matter for how long I press it. Volume up button works perfectly.
Any ideas if it's a simple/inexpensive fix or not?

Both mine up and down work 100 % with quick press. Return the device as it is faulty.

I've bought this device on Ebay so it doesn't have warranty. I have started PayPal case and want to return the item to dishonest seller who hasn't mentioned the fault. But I'm also investigating just in case PayPal dispute goes wrong.

Why wouldn't it have a warranty just cos you got it off eBay?

Looking at it from their view here - scratches on case and button not working.......they will prob decide it is broke because of dropping. Hopefully not, but I'd be surprised if they replace the case!
Ps ny touch HSBC had a similar prob on volume down button, the rubber underneath it had worn down (button used a kit for vibrate etc) I put a bit of card under and it was fine

I assume it doesn't have warranty because it doesn't come with any receipt or other paperwork. It's also unlocked (used to be on Orange). And finally, I'm located in Lithuania (EU) and the phone was bought from seller in UK. Although I wouldn't mind to send it to UK for repairs. Because housing looks like s*** too
And all this trouble because of dishonest seller

I dont know much about Lithuania....but in the UK, the phone companies seem to know what phone you are using and they can provide something to show you use that particular phone. That can then be used as the paperwork to show that you own the phone. A warranty shouldnt end just because it has been sold on, the warranty is on the phone, not the person. Might be worth a try

I bought my Desire on Ebay and when I had an issue to be fixed under warranty, I sent my Paypal receipt as proof of purchase.

Dave

[Q] some guide please before buying HTC 1 X

Hi Everyone,
I have DHD now and want to buy the 1X .. i'm having an issue as i'm in Canada and they only sell the Dual-Code 16GB model. I want to buy the Quad-Code- 32GB model.
looking thru ebay and found many of them, i'm affraid of the defects, specially no one post if it's HT23 or HT24 or whatever.
also concered about return it to HTC for replacement, they will accept it or not, or there is any paper need to send with it ...
so confused ... can anyone guide me please
Thanks
I would be the same as you, after all what is the reason for someone to sell these phones on ebay.
Have you not thought about buying one from a place like amazon or some place like it that sells new phones with guarantees.

Well honestly if you want to get the quad core model, get it from a reputable seller. This HTC One X seems pretty good. They ship worldwide too. But as long as your prepared to send it away if it does have defects then you are good to go. From what I've seen the units that came from china seems to be the one that has more defects compared to units that are made from Taiwan of Singapore. That seller on eBay gets his stock from Singapore.
PS
Always check their return policy before you buy.

3. We offer a longest exchange policy which is 30 days than other sellers. If there is any problem, we offer immediate exchange with postage paid return label.

Like you said contact the seller and ask them about replacement if the screen has a fault and what are their procedures of replacing the unit.
Do they have to send it away first for checking before they give you a new one? Ask them specific questions about your concerns. And if you're not happy then don't get one from them. Shop around and see who has the best return policy for faulty units.
you are not stuck with anything you buy if it isn't what you thought you were getting or expected for your money. buy it, and if it's not right, then get your money back. the only time you can't do that is if you bought something with cash off of a street corner. ;p

Should I Get One?

I've been wanting a HTC One X for a while now. I was going to get the North American version, but 16GB just won't cut it (I have about 7GB of music itself, and that's always increasing). So I turned to the international version. The thing is, I've been reading about a lot of problems. Is it worth buying if there are so many problems with the international version? Also, does anyone know if I can buy the international version online off contract? I checked Amazon, but they only sell it without warranty. I don't think it's worth taking the risk, buying it without warranty. Any input is appreciated!

[Q] How do I know if my XpS is under warranty?

I bought a Xperia S off ebay and I realized afterwards there was a slight crack (which the seller did mention but understated), I don't really want to send it back because it's a nice phone otherwise.
I was wondering if I could ask Sony to fit it with a new screen as it may still be under warranty?
What do you think? Is it worth a try? How do I contact them in the UK?
If you want to replace your screen you must pay. It's not under warranty.

So, if the phone is broken because of a factory problem Sony must repair in warranty. Also with problem caused from unsatisfied certifications(ip57 or ip58 : water resistance) must be repaired under warranty, but it isn't the case of sxs because it haven't no ip57 or 58.
Also, for the europe, the warranty is the same for all the country, so you can repair a phone bought abroad in a Local Sony repair centre but you must take the receipt.
If the centre has to change the motherboard, they must send the phone in the country where you bought it. (for ebay see the location of the online store)

Physical damage is not covered under warranty.
Warranty covers mechanical problems which mean issues due to hardware which the phone has developed itself. For instance the microphone got broken. Physical ( I.e you doing something like scratching the screen ) and water damage isn't covered (unless you have a certified waterproof device)

Help ebay phone warranty issue

I got a Verizon HTC One by auction from ebay and the seller claimed it is brand new.Everything looks like it is new but there is a defect on the screen.Looks like a purple blemish and it doesn't seem like a dead pixel or something since I can see the defect even when the phone is powered off.The seller said he got it from craigslist and I contact Verizon and HTC and looks like they only take care of the phones sold by them.Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
fix for you

Yeah I'm aware of this.However it looks like it is a manufacturing defect.The seller just claims it is brand new and I guess new device could have defects so it's not the seller to blame I guess.The seller should be an individual though,not a company or something like that.
yes, but
He sold it to you and is obligated to send exactly what was described, not a reject.
And he's likely in a better position to get it replaced than you.
No shame to say you didn't get what you expected and would like a refund.

+1 I buy and sell on eBay daily and I can assure you will get your money back. I also recommend paying with PayPal to add an "extra layer of protection".

My cynical take: he bought it from a shady Craigslist seller, discovered the flaw, then turned around and sold it on eBay with no returns.
Even though he specified No Returns, eBay will still open a case if the item is not As Described.
You can explain to eBay that you did not get a New item as was posted by the Seller because there is a flaw.
Clearly describe flaw. Document it well with multiple pictures from several angles.
No fight or argument here; just you saying you'd like to return it because of the undisclosed flaw. Then let eBay decide it.
This happened to me and after a week or so, I was refunded thru Paypal and returned it to Seller's address.

Thanks for the reply.He always emphasizes that it is factory sealed phone and there is no way for him to check if there's defect but actually if you own a One you know the box is not sealed and anyone can open the box and take the phone out.The plastic wrap can also stick multiple times.He just put brand new on his listing and he said he sold me exactly what the listing said.He even said my request is "ridiculous"now I'm done arguing with him.Just wait until Friday to ask ebay step in.

I guess if you purchased through ebay you have to pay with paypal right?Anyway I paid with paypal and hope everything goes well after ebay steps in.This seller looks good at first but starts to get ridiculous after I told him about the defect.Now I think he just put no return on his listing trying to avoid this kind of problem.

Now I feel the same way as yours.He replied several times stating that it is a factory sealed phone and he can't check if anything is wrong and since I powered on the device,it becomes an used phone.Actually the box is not sealed and anyone can take the phone out and power it on.He even blame me about this saying I could make the defect myself.Reminds me of rude sellers back in China on taobao years ago.
Again,thanks very much for your help.

Make sure that you're sending him message through the e-bay page and not personal e-mail. This way you'll have a "paper" trail showing paypal/ebay all of the sellers BS and how rude he is to you. If all else fails you can contact your bank and they will forcefully reverse the transaction and get you back the money. I would use that as a last resort after trying paypal/ebay.

[Q] LG G3 SIM Connector Replacement?

One of the pins broke off of the SIM connector whilst using a SIM adaptor and I was wondering where I might get a replacement? I have looked online briefly and I can't really find much replacement parts for this phone yet, unless I am looking in the wrong places?
I remember this happened to my SGS I-9000 and the part only cost like £5 from eBay and was modular so I am hoping this one will be as easy to replace too!
**UPDATE: It seems that unless you are an expert with a solder (and I mean expert!) then you will not be able to replace this part since it is soldered on to the circuit board rather than a modular part, so I am putting a list of places recommended by posters where you can get your G3 repaired.

On a Google search, it seems that this is a common issue with these adapters, especially cheap ones, and other people have had the same problem too. I had figured too that due to the phone being new, there are basically no substantial source of spare parts that I can find as of yet..

You can try to claim from the actual store you bought it from rather than the LG warranty as that would be quicker but otherwise it's about a £45 repair from the sites that are offering it.
Actually, I never owned the phone but saw one on eBay that I was considering buying that had this fault but I really cannot understand why no one on here has bought the £5 LG G2 SIM part from eBay (as I had mentioned a month ago on here) to see if that one fits as if it doesn't work then you have not lost anything! That would have been the 1st thing I would have done if it happened to me as I am no way paying £45 for basically a ~50p part which I can just repair myself since all phones are modular these days.
....What kind of idiots own this phone?!

Well, I have mine on 2 year warranty and will try to get it fixed through the authorized service shop first. Will see how that goes. If it is too expensive I will search for alternatives.
