Yeah getting a lawyer to even send the letter would cost more then a new device
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
Removing the cover is one thing but you removed the battery. I'm not even sure how it comes out. There is no way they can tell you just popped open the back cover unless you did damage while you were in there or something.
[Nexus 7 General] rcarnes911:
Removing the battery and unplugging them are 2 different things
[Nexus 7 General] AndIKnow:
Mine had a weird auto brightness bug and I couldn't see anything the second time I turned it off. I didn't want to send it back since I pre - ordered and was excited to finally be holding it. So like the OP I opened up the back cover and played around with the battery but that didn't seem to help so I called in for a replacement which I got 2 weeks later since I was careful enough to not mention I rooted or opened the back. :)

[Nexus 7 General] kgbeezr1:
Jesus christ on a riding lawnmower, I was thinking the exact same thing.

Lesson to the OP, never, under any circumstances say to customer service or tech support that you opened a device, unless it's designed specifically to be opened by the end-user. I'm sure at this point you've learned that one. :p
[Nexus 7 General] hundred_miles_high:
Neither will it have come with a tamper evident seal securing the rear cover, clearly stating that 'damage to', or 'removal of' the seal would void the warranty.

The Nexus 7 ships with virtually no documentation and I can't remember if any of it contained a statement to the effect of 'no user serviceable parts inside, opening up the device will void your warranty' - maybe someone who still has all the paperwork can confirm one way or the other :confused:

[Nexus 7 General] davidstech11:
I agree with the others about what you did is known by most as voiding the warranty. I can't easily pop the back off so I don't even try.

As for Apple. What a joke. You don't even know how many Apple people have an Elitist attitude if you think some of the people here have it. Some actually believe I only have Android devices because I “can't afford" an iPhone. The dumb ass people don't realize some of these Android devices are the exact same price and at times more than the iPhone.

Customer Service. Apple is no better at times either. I have multiple Apple devices and have had to deal with them myself at times. Not living near an Apple store dealing with them over the phone has been a major pain at times. Your mad because of how you were treated with your $199-$249 tablet, hell it could even be the mobile version. I was treated like **** and I was calling about my $2,500 MacBook Pro. People will have good and bad experiences. It happens.

[Nexus 7 General] Mach3.2:
It's like trying to RMA a unlocked and rooted device for screen lift................

You told them you opened the back cover when you are not supposed to..(if memory serves me well, they have a clause in the quick start guide or warranty info papers)

[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
It is completely stupid that the device isn't designed for a user replaceable battery, and that goes for every device that has a built in battery. Until they have an unlimited recharge count and a 100 year shelf life they shouldn't be built in to anything!

That being said really? You told the tech that? The Nexus 7 is pretty easy to open up but your not supposed to. Do you see any indication that your supposed to be able to take it off?

Feel free to take it off at your own risk but make sure you cover your tracks and never tell a tech this. That being said as long as there is no sign you removed it, call up again, and this time don't tell the tech you did that and you'll be fine
[Nexus 7 General] findmike:
Yeah I don't know where you all are coming from with this openly hostile reaction to the OP about admitting that he opened the device and he should just "KNOW" that this somehow is going to void the warranty.

In the US at least, you really need to take a look at the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act to find out about legal requirements for anything that has a warranty in this country. You can't simply say that opening the back of a device voids the warranty if that SPECIFIC ACT is not declared in the warranty itself (it is not, easily determinable if one just reads the warranty included with the product).

Going off and telling the guy that he did something wrong when you all haven't even done the basics of looking at the warranty or relevant legal standards that apply to it is just crazy wrong. He could open it, install a new LCD, solder a SD card slot to the system, install a new speaker and hold it underwater for an hour and the company would still be bound to honor the warranty which is to repair manufacturing defects and the burden of proof is on THE COMPANY not him to prove that any malfunction was a result of his use and not a manufacturing defect.

As far as anyone denying him service, it's the company's precognitive to say yes or no to anyone they want to and you don't need a lawyer to change their mind, you simply take the company to small claims court. It normally costs about $25 to file a claim, takes a few weeks and then you stand in front of a judge and explain that the thing broke, they refused to fix it, here is the warranty, they claimed me opening it voided the warranty, there is no such provision in the document, I would like my money back, thank you.

For a group of modders and hackers to simply consent to rolling over for a company and imply that this guy did something wrong by opening HIS device is just sort of sad. We have every right to take things apart, tinker like mad and have fun with it. If we break it it's on us and if it has a manufactures defect it's on them.
[Nexus 7 General] VenomTheCat:
AMEN!
[Nexus 7 General] Dark Jedi:
Its not like Google denied him warranty work. He screwed up by telling them he took a cover off that in no way had any markings or indentations or instructions in the manual that showed the back cover of the nexus can be removed. Even with that warranty act like with vehicles you can modify your vehicle but if they can prove that your mods you used caused the issue with your vehicle then they can deny your warranty. With that said Google can say that with him removing a cover that wasn't designed to be removed by the consumer nor is he a qualified tech to work on the device. They can say his tampering and admitting he tampered with the back caused the problem. I bet they have him on tape admitting to opening the covering. I am sure its some where in the warranty and I am sure Google can provide you with the documentation if you ask. Consumers can't play dumb and it also protects the warrantors from the consumer.

In the end don't tell no one you took the cover off. Going to a lawyer will be a joke and doubt no lawyer would waste their time with this.

You say apples support is more understanding. Call them up and say I have issues with my iPad and I bet before you can finish I took my back cover off. They will cut you off and tell you warranty is voided because you took the cover off that wasnt designed or documented anywhere in the instructions or on the device that it can be removed by the consumer. You don't need void warranty stickers on something to inform you removing this will void your warranty.

So the the op you need to direct your anger towards yourself and not to other posters that states the obvious of keep privilege information to yourself.
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
I see your guys point now, yeah Google can't tell him his warranty is void, they need to do an inspection and verify first that he voided something. That's the point, innocent until proven guilty.
[Nexus 7 General] Dark Jedi:
If Google has it in writing somewhere they don't need to do an inspection and he can't be innocent as he confessed to tech support he was guilty of opening it
[Nexus 7 General] calyxim:
Deny it mate. If they try to b*m rape you tell them that it was your little retarded brother on the phone who was trying to help ease his bros pain.

You didn't open it up, you didn't know that there was an accessible battery inside the thing.
[Nexus 7 General] squshy 7:
Good lord why is this thread still open...
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
I'm just saying if I dropped my phone in water and started having issues afterwards and called AT&T and told them I've had issues since I dropped it in water they wouldn't out and tell me I voided my warranty and I can't send it in now. They'd tell me they can process a claim for me if I wished but warn me if they found water damage I'd be charged full retail pricing on the phone.

Yeah it wasn't the best decision making on this guys part but they shouldn't of immediately said his warranty is void. As far as I'm concerned, there's no void stickers between the back and the rest of the casing so it really can't void the warranty. At any rate a simple "Your not supposed to take the back off, we can process your request but fair warning we will charge your card the full retail amount if our technicians find you damaged something inside, do you want to proceed?" would of been the right thing for Google to say. Really it does sound more and more that they got special needs children running the support lines there. There giving bums off the street 40 ouncers to answer calls for them lol.
[Nexus 7 General] Dark Jedi:
Yeah they have special needs on the phones helping the special need kid in this case. Also your example of water damage isn't the best example for a phone. As tech support will ask is the water damage tags all red? And if you say yeah then they say your warranty is void. Just like you will know your warranty is void to begin with. The tech support gut was trying to help him as if he sends in his device. He will have to pay no matter what. This is the simple case he screwed up and want others to pay for his screw up.
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
I've luckily never had to deal with Google tech support but from what it sounds from most people who call they make AT&T look like award winning support.

I'm not denying it was a terrible idea to tell them, I sure as hell wouldn't, it's always a good idea to volunteer as least information as possible, but I'm just saying I see others points on the matter. And the truth is with no void sticker on the cover, they really don't have much of a case to tell someone its void.

I'd just call again, play stupid, say you don't know what that's about, pretend it was your brother or something calling and he didn't know any better, and claim you never opened it. If there's no way for them to prove it then it's no different than relocking a bootloader and returning to stock for a warranty claim.
[Nexus 7 General] Dark Jedi:
I had to send a phone in to att once for warranty claim and they sent the phone back and tried to say I sent a damaged phone. I called them and said that phone wasn't damaged when I sent it and said I had pictures with a time stamp and was sending them the pictures in an email. After I said that they changed their tune. So I have issues with them.

How are they suppose to put tamper stickers on the outside of a case? You don't need a sticker to say not to tamper with it.
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
I dunno just trying to see both sides of the argument. Overall I don't really care to tell you the truth. I don't plan on ever taking the back cover off till the battery is shot in which case should be well after the warranty is expired anyway. I fortunately received a flawless nexus, had it since August no issues.
[Nexus 7 General] rcarnes911:
They could easily put a sticker on the inside that would break if the back was opened
[Nexus 7 General] JD914:
To the title of this thread: no sh!t Sherlock!
[Nexus 7 General] Dark Jedi:
People could use common sense and know by looking at the back and see its not made to come off.
[Nexus 7 General] Harry GT-S5830:
It's fairly standard procedure that none removable back devices aren't meant to be opened.
[Nexus 7 General] rcarnes911:
This thread has turned into a he said she said thing, bottom line is some people open the back of their device so they don't have to wait weeks for a fix that takes minutes to complete, if you do open the device don't tell Asus or Google or the people of this forum......
[Nexus 7 General] Divine_Madcat:
Pretty much this.

Sadly, companies still try to apply some common sense. If you have to pry something open to get to the parts, it is probably not made to be user serviced; as such, your warrenty is void if they can prove you did it.

Now, i will be honest.. this is XDA, home of the "Your warranty is now void" saying. I think its fair that users here should realize most of what we do voids warranties (remember, most makers consider non standard software as warranty voiding). Most of what we do, we do a our own risk, and accept that problems may have consequences.

Frankly, when people have problems like this, your best course is to send it back, and let them work on it. You are welcome to fiddle, but you should not expect your warranty intact.

Since i think this thread has run its course, and people are now just arguing with each other, i am going to close this down..

Since i have rooted and installed the Siyah Kernal, i am experiencing random crashes where apps stop working and the screen goes black for a minute and everything reloads again like as the phone has been restarted. i used a fresh made recovery and everything was ok but i had to reload everything from scratch. it has happened again but this time i can not even get past my pattern lock screen before it crashes and freezes. therefore i cant titanium backup my apps.

i have tried

- Boot to CWM recovery

- wipe cache partition

- wipe dalvik cache (under advanced)

- reboot phone

I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem.

just in case it matters am using go launcher and just before the phone went funny i was browsing and using apps fine. however today i did use extweaker app and ticked the option to force usb storage, if this makes any difference

thanks.

i was wondering has anyone else had this problem and is there any ideas on why this may be happening.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
it may because the phone is trying to do something that is causing a conflict. I believe the only way you are going to resolve the issue is to do a factory reset, to unfo the issue with the force usb storage.
