So the problem is as follows - I have a contract with three mobile (uk) signed about a month ago (several days less) yesterday I spotted the yellow spot on my screen (as I understand faulty glue) so today i went to 3 and they told me I need to contact HTC and they will send me a new one.
So I have contacted HTC no reply yet - but that's fine.
My question is can someone who went through the same process tell me how that goes and how long does it take because I use my phone for work and I really need it so a week of not having phone is not acceptable.
Also are HTC going to be idiots and refuse to replace it because the boot loader is unlocked - I think that in violation with the trade and goods agreement.
Odd that you've not heard from them, they usually arrange to collect the phone when you call them.
They won't replace it, just repair it. Takes about week.
Im also in the UK. I arranged repair over the online chat which was more helpful as it was obviously instant conversation rather than waiting for replies. It took 7 days, Monday to Monday. My repair was the WiFi problem though. My bootloader was (and is still) unlocked. I just restored the stock recovery and ROM and nothing was mentioned of the unlock they just repaired it. I'm not sure what u can do with regards to having no handset. When I had my old HD2 direct from o2 they fixed it directly with their own repair center and provided a temporary phone for me to use. Having this HOX on orange through dial-a-phone they to told me to contact HTC also.

it's not down to HTC, it's down to 3 to sort your repair out. I've not used 3 but I upgraded with P4U and had to swap 4 Sony Xperia S (yellow spot) all within 28 days each time being told that after 28 days they would have to send it for repair.

I know - i was a bit surprised as well.
I mean i have my contract with 3 not HTC - true - htc made the device in a bad way but still....
Well anyway thank you all - a week i guess will be fine i have another device its just a bit outdated and I`m having trouble running openvpn and stuff on it
If it's within 28 days of purchase return it to where you bought it and they're obliged to replace it if it's a defective unit.
I had same issue and carphone warehouse were happy to replace it.
Good luck

My experience isn't in UK, but my first HOX also got a bright spot on screen. What I did is, I placed in an ELF (Early Life Failure) order as soon as I found the problem in retail store (I signed up the phone online), it took repair department of my carrier (not HTC) 3 days to response and approve my claim. Ultimately, I picked up a new one in retail store, and thats the happy ending of my story.
Just to keep people updated if someone has the same problem.
I spoke with HTC today - and I have to say I`m amazed by the support.
A UPS person is going to come and collect my phone tomorrow so it is quite quick and within 7 days I`ll have new or repaired device. I had to include proof of purchase and a form they send me.
I have been asked if I unlocked the device and they actually apologised to me in case it gets relocked during the repair process - so unlocking it is not a problem.
Well teats for now - I`ll say what happened when it returns
Interestingly, I've never been asked for proof of purchase from HTC, and I've used the repair service four times, including my One X which was collected today.
Funnily enough though, I wouldn't even have it if it wasn't for someone else being asked for its proof of purchase for a repair lol
The repair email says to include proof of purchase, but I think people get away with not doing so. My first repair got replaced with another phone, which was unlocked, then it had to go in for repair and as I included my proof of purchase which states my phone was with 3, HTC flashed 3 firmware onto it, relocking it.
That was just the beginning of my issues though, now after months of problems, HTC finally sent me a retail unit (not from repair centre), but it ended up being defected as well as it was from an old batch...
It never ends. My tip is if you ever deal with HTC sending you a new phone, request it's from the newest batch possible.
Oh yeah, so it does. Never noticed that before (on account of never reading the email)
None of the reps I've spoken to on the phone or chat have mentioned it, so I've never sent one.
And here we go with the update - the device arrived yesterday - I was quite excited since it was actually fast It was send back to me on friday (so 2 days for repair and delivery) and i received in ot monday just because UPS dont deliver on weekends apparently.
Anyway - the first thing I noticed was when charging i can see the light not only from the speaker but from the top of the creen as well - well that was fine with me. But what i have noticed today is that when charging the touch on the screen goes nuts - i just put my finger and it starts thinking i have pressed on random locations with like 100000 fingers.
(BTW anyone had that problem - i presume it is building some kind og charge on the screen due to the charge but have no idea why)
And so here we go again - I contacted the support and they are coming to pick it up again (this time on 13-th of Aug since I`m outside the UK for a week).
I hope they will just replace it this time instead of trying to fix it.
I'm in the UK, I had lots of issues with my senny XE in repair 4 times eventually they gave me a free upgrade to the hox with a nice new 2 year warranty
I'm replying just to give you the direct number in case you don't already have it
01279 206906.
You have to request a replacement they won't just replace it HTC don't repair their own devices apparently so repair centre will just fix anything I had a new screen motherboard and chassis on one repair all because of dust lol

Finally received my phone after the second repair - for now it seems to be working properly. Hopefully that will be the end of the story
In Australia if you pay A who is on selling a product for B your contract(warranty/consumer law) is with A as they received payment. I purchased my HOX outright and also had a problem with the screen, the seller was giving me the same BS until I set him straight. Received a new HOX the same day.
Just realised the screen is a bit less responsive when charging ..... again ....
is that something normal - I mean if i have to send it again for repairs I`ll be quite pissed - I mean that's like a month of not having a phone overall
Just found a video of htc desire having similar problems - mine is not as bad tho http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpDyMykRH9M&feature=youtube_gdata_player
does anyone know if thats actually because of the charger not the phone ?
I feel for you. I had mine die in the first 2 weeks. Took my provider 5 weeks to replace it.
I have an issue with my One X, the G-sensor totally will not respond, I have tried everything short of flashing a new ROM (but I'm still stock due to no S-off)
Now, I've decided to stop putting off sending my phone into repair after having this issue for over 3 weeks.
What I want to know is;
What was your experience with HTC repair?
How long did they take to fix and return your device?
I go on holiday in 22 days, and I very much need the camera on this phone however it's stuck in the wrong rotation, I'm assuming it won't take HTC 22 days to repair the phone?
I have had a good and a terrible repair experience with them. But if you send it in now hopefully the turnaround will be 2 weeks.
So far so good. I called them on Monday, they sent the courier to pick up my device yesterday and on the website it states that my device is being repaired as of 9:58am today. Hopefully the rest goes smoothly, I have heard some real horror stories.
long story short. send my phone in for repairs in the first week of may and was suppose to get my phone back within two weeks.. ended up getting back a month later..so two weeks more on top of the estimated time they told me...but the good news was that ever since i did not have any issues and the phone is a beast.. so even though there was a delay i am happy with the outcome and work they did on the phone

What country are you in?
Many people in the UK have said they've recieved their device back within two weeks.
Anyway, HTC quoted me a 7 working days turn around time and i'm sending it off tomorrow morning, heres to hoping.

I'm in UK, they sent it to regenersis in huntingdon, firstly for a misaligned front speaker hole (which i sent them a pic of) and dead pixel.
It said repaired etc on the website a few days after they received. Spoke to the htc live chat, and asked what had been done to it. 'The software was reflashed'
It was returned to me a few days later, no different to when i sent it off.
I resent the phone eventually (to same place, regenersis) as it developed the wifi antenna problem as well. The repair tracking website was never updated, and live chat didn't have a clue what was happening with the phone. 2 weeks later the phone turned up at work. Unrepaired again. Zero difference.
I'm currently in the process of arranging a replacement from HTC instead.

Just for all you UK people, if the device has ANY problems in the 1st six months take it back to the retailer and demand a replacement. You might have to push them but ultimately you will be successful . In the first 6 months the fault is considered to have been there since manufacture, after six months it's a bit different.
The Sales of Goods act covers this for you.
Here's a few links that might help

HTc repair center here in the us is suck big time, i'm still waiting on my htc one that i sent for repair since July 5th, finally i got an email from them that they ship it back to me, now its gonna take another 6 days before i receive it, they could at least overnight since they took that long to repair it.. never again
HTC EVO View 4G Repaired
My View stop working just like that: I got some strange pop-ups about apps force closing then I decided
to reboot and that got stuck. Pressing power for a long time didn't help. The charging led no longer
lighted up. Pressing all kinds of button combinations didn't help me. The tablet was dead!
This is a refurbished tablet that I bought off Tech4Less. I had it S-OFFed and rooted.
I called HTC customer support to inquire about the repair policy. I could get a box shipped and send
in the tablet for repair (here in the US). I was told that they would quote me the cost per email and
if declined I would have to pay a $35 fee. Well that to me was worth the try. Pay $35 to learn whether
you have a brick or not. I got the box, shipped the tablet to their repair centre and waited. By the
way the Fedex shipping label came for free. So far no costs and no word from HTC, although customer
service promised to send me email about the repair policy. Also the repair centre never acknowledged
receipt of the tablet. This was a few days before 4th of July. Two weeks later I shopped for a new tablet
and got a great deal on a new 2012 Nexus 7 from Staples.
I had given up on my View. No notice of what was going on with the repair; no repair tracking number.
A few days later I was happily unpacking my new Nexus and showing it off to my wife. She remarked
that the HTC repair probably was a hoax and that my old tablet was lost. I checked my email at that
moment and lo and behold threre was an email from HTC stating that the tablet was repaired and on its
way back to me. It mentioned the serial number and a repair number and I was able to use those to
look up the actual Fedex tracking number on their web site. I couldn't believe it... Every day I checked the
progress and eventually I got the box on my doorstep. Indeed, my good old trusty View was working
again. HTC provided a repair sheet and noted that among other minor replacements, the motheroard was
replaced. Wow! And no bill. Yes, really. Maybe a mistake on their part, but lucky for me.
I am very grateful to HTC and can only hope that others are treated similarly.
im not happy at all, since i bought my htc one in june 2013, its been repaired twice , i was suurprised it was collected and returned within 7 days from my door. This 3rd time its been over 10 days, it was howing as "reapired" in the tracking info, but today its showing back "in repair"...whats going on htc?..apparently hey dont have a repair centre here in the uk its in poland :laugh:

I live in the UK. I sent my HTC One M8 off to UK on the 11th of May 2015. It is now the 9th of June 2015 still haven't received my phone. On their tracking page it says itshe being packed to be returned. It's been on being packed for 2 days now they are seriously p*ssing me off. I haven't had a phone all this time.
Quick question. My G3 developed a screen fault on the 6th so i rang three for repair. LG sent out all the envelopes, padded and special delivery so i sent the phone back on the 9th which they signed for on the 11th. Apparrently that isnt the day they count their 3-5 days from, as that starts at the point it gets to the technicians. I spoke to a guy on monday whio simply said its with the technicians and to wait...its a pain in the backside as i am phoneless, am paying for a contract that i cant use and see no timescales. the guy on the phone on monday wasnt much help (though not his fault i suppose) but as im going away next week i kinda want the phone back before i go. has anyone sent their phones back to LG and got it back quick or is it looking unlikely that it will be back by next week? Its a pain as they havent told me a thing, havent said if they are going to mail me, ring me etc. not good though that its lasted less than a month before needing repair, after my very light usage of it. should i keep ringing them to chase them along?
Also had a bad screen. After two months the middle of the screen just stopped worked, in a horizontal line.
Called my reseller and said that it could take one month maximum to get it fixed (she couldnt say anything more in detail). Thats insane, imo. Especially since its here in Sweden and bought from a well known reseller with quick and good support. But yeah, i sent it to LGs service center.

Apparrently it has been repaired and is being returned today so i should get it backl in the next day or 2...lets see if they say what was wrong with it?
So my phone was hard bricked and was literally dead and I talked to a LG Representative and sent my phone on Thursday to Texas. They then received my phone on Monday and the status of the repair is "Unit Being Repaired" for THREE DAYS STRAIGHT and want my phone repaired as soon as possible( praying for no refurbished phones) . I was wondering how long does it take for LG to fix the phone and will there be a high chance of getting it repaired rather than getting a refurbished phone. As I stated on top, I sent my phone to LG Repair Services in Texas and to my knowledge, the only thing they have to replace is my motherboard( correct me if I'm wrong)
Same here, just sent mine a few days ago, actually they received it yesterday at forth wort. Mine was almost brand new, i went to bed, it was off charge, when i woke up, battery was 98%, made one phone call, and after that the phone died, never to wake up. Didn't root it or anything like that, just weird.
Hopefully they get me a refurbished one or fix it, i don't care.
Mine have same status now, how long did yours take? you should have it back by now
U need to ask Lg representative to get the right answer...
7 business days total for me, which would be 9 if you include the weekend.
Just wondering what repair experience people have had here getting their screen replaced?
I sent it in and they've had it 30 days now (20 working days) and tell me that there's no ETA. That doesn't even include their ground shipping...
Last week they told me that they were receiving parts and would put a "rush" on the repair. Today they tell me there's no ETA and their repair center doesn't have the parts.
Very frustrated with this. I guess I should have broken the display and gotten it replaced under UhOh.
I would advise against using UHOH. I recently had to use it to get my phone replaced. I got the replacement one and the top speaker and microphone were defected. I had to get the replacement replaced. I started the process on Oct. 18th and I barely got the phone "repaired" and delivered to me last Friday. and the microphone works now but its not great and the top speaker is still not fixed. I'm not even bothering calling back because i wont probably get the phone until next year at this point. This just pisses me off that I probably won't buy another HTC phone again and I'm an HTC Fanboy cause i used every phone they have made since 2009 basically.
I just got mine replaced and it only took ten days. Under manufacturers warranty with bell Canada. I thought it was pretty quick.
Thanks for the feedback. All in all it sounds like a mixed bag.
They've got to replace my screen so whether I get back a correctly working phone is an open question. I'm not looking forward to the possibility of another month or two of replacement nonsense.
My touch screen stopped working and they replaced it upon receipt within a couple days at RMA in early October. The replacement phone had no GPS functionality. I sent it in late October and they repaired it after having it for a month and shipped it back last week, received two days ago. The replaced GPS component doesn't work (probably a board issue causing it to fault) so I just had to use uh oh protection to get a new phone shipped to me with a $600 hold on my credit card. They still haven't shipped the replacement phone and it's been two business days now, but they say it will be next day air.
Besides the frustration, their support is all outsourced to India. Hard to understand agents and no real escalation of RMA issues. Again, I had to use uh oh protection out of frustration because due to the RMA delays, I don't want to wait another month for my 4th RMA to complete for my 3rd phone under warranty.
