I have heard that they have a pretty poor customer service reputation. I refuse to buy ANYTHING from them because it seems like they don't believe in their own product if they're not more willing to support it
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dodsonhaycattle:
I sent three polite messages through eBay with no response. The fourth I was a little nanstier and threatened negative feedback and mentioned the previous messages and got a response in a few hours claiming I'll be put on a list and will receive two new screen protectors soon.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] derukun:
That's telling it :D Nobody got anywhere in this world being polite.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dodsonhaycattle:
Is really bogus to have to be that way to get a response though. Is not really in my nature
[Nexus 5 Accessories] s33squar3d:
I contacted Spigen re: my glas.t slim screen protector on Nov. 9, immediately after I recieved a message on eBay telling me to contact them if i wanted a replacement or a refund. I asked for a replacement, and have recieved neither a auto-reply confirmation from them nor any kind of response back. Tomorrow I will be sending a polite 2nd request, and after that I might have to get nasty :(
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dingokevin:
Ebay order for a Ultra Hybrid with scratches with the film removed emailed them on the 7 got a follow up on the 13 and that was it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sirxdroid:
Lots of negative feedback on ebay over the past month. Same problem here, ordered it 10 days ago, nothing yet, supposedly shipped from a place that's a 5 hr drive from me, via UPS Mail Innovations. There's nothing innovative about it if it takes so long. The worst part is that Spigen is not responding or doing anything about it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] indelible:
1. sent 1 email through amazon

2. 11/4

3. power button on the armor

received an email yesterday saying they would ship my replacement in 3-5 days. got my replacement case today lol.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] caribouxda:
I am disappointed with them too. Purchased on ebay. Item makes cracking noises around the bottom of the phone. No email response. Buyer protection time I guess.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] s33squar3d:
I ordered my glas.T from them in Irvine. I live in San Diego. UPS Mail "Innovations" managed to innovate a way for something that was a 1 hour drive away take 5 business days to get delivered (Friday-Thursday):eek:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] cordell12:
took 2 weeks and a opening of a "ebay case" to recieve this response!

We are so sorry for our late response.

We currently started using UPS mail innovation because it has been more reliable and we heard there has been less damage or lost report about packages although it sometimes takes extra couple of days for delivery.

We are very sorry that we haven't noticed you earlier.

i hope they take notice that 160 of the 280 negative feedbacks they have for the past year, are from the past 1 month! my guess its right about the time they started using UPS Fail Innovations :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] overlord727:
Sent email on 11/14, got a response 11/15 saying they are sending me replacements (I ordered two, one for me and one for my gf) with free screen protectors... We'll see how long it takes to get here...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Synyster06Gates:
I got an email today - but at the top it does say Nov 14th... I sent my original message Nov 8.

Dear Austin – Amazon Marketplace,

Thank you so much for your interest our Spigen Nexus 5 Slim Armor Case.

We are very sorry to hear that you are having this issue with the power button. We noticed that some of the Slim Armor cases were not as perfect as they should have been. However, we will be sending you a brand new TPU to solve that issue! In addition, we want to include one of our Premium Nexus 5 Screen Protector with your replacement.

We thank you for your patience and understanding!

Your replacement will be shipping out within the next few days after it has been tested for quality assurance.

If you have any other questions, please email us.

Have a wonderful day!

Best Regards,

Diana
[Nexus 5 Accessories] knapz:
Same email I got over a week ago and still no replacement TPU or response to a second follow-up email I sent.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Letitride:
That's Spigel's UPS Mail "Innovations" for those of you reading this thread here, LOL. If the USPS can deliver cross country in 3 or 4 days on a first class package with tracking, I cannot accept the fact that it takes them a week+ with errors.

Anyway, finally got an email from CS, sending me a preprinted USPS label to return for a full refund of the Hybrid Ultra Slim case - nothing in way of a replacement or TPU case. Not sure if I am going to bother to return it - as what if they "magically" lost my return and/or take 2 or 3 weeks to process my refund & then don't credit my Amazon account - might just keep it as a spare - just going to order on eBay as there are now PLENTY of choices unlike the initial rollout date.

Took 2 emails and 8 days to get this "resolved" - no wonder they earned a rather high unsatisfied scores on Amazon.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Synyster06Gates:
I actually got my replacement today!

Requires a much more firm press. Much better.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] oupavoc:
Yeah not going to lie there customer service isn't the best! After making an order with them, I emailed them right away to bundle shipping with an other case! Of course they didn't reply back for 3-4 days and the items were already in the mail separately!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] shakuyi:
you guys should try contacting them on facebook they seem to be very responsive there.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kpjimmy:
I sent a message through Amazon messaging to request to cancel my order. An email response was sent in a few hours, which was great! But not so great was the canned response. I asked for a cancellation of my order and they responded thanking me for being patient and that my order is slated to be shipped on 11/27. WTF? Do they not read their emails?

According to this thread, apparently not. Shame because I do love the screen protectors. lol.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] GSLEON3:
YEAH! They are HORRIBLE. I had to have Amazon customer service contact them before they would respond to me. They also offered one day shipping, but then sent it via ground, They were supposed to refund my shipping charges, but that was two weeks ago & still no $$$.

At any rate, Ringke makes an almost identical case for anything Spigen makes. They have been AWESOME! The Ringke Hybrid case is also much better in my opinion than the Spigen version. It feels better, looks better & it has raised buttons, so no stumbling to find them like you have to with the flush Spigen version. I am pretty sure that they are in China. So maybe the time difference & language difficulties make it a struggle, especially when there are issues, but that''s no excuse for poor customer service & absolutely zero response.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jimbo1215:
I contacted the amazon seller account Nov 8th about a glas.tr refund. Emailed them again a few days later when they announced the official recall. Finally I tweeted [MENTION=947063]spigen[/MENTION]support with my order number and a short description of the problem 2 days ago and they processed the refund today.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Tonster1983:
Okay, I have a Spigen SlimArmour in Champagne... what defects are you guys really noticing?? just senstive power button? Maybe thats why my phone has randomly shut off a few times in my pocket... just curious if I should be looking to get a replacement/refund. Thanks in advance guys!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Huey85:
Took them over a week to get back to me. Finally did, and told me they'd process my refund in a few days. 3 days later I got the refund for my defective GLAS.tR in my paypal account.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] :
After 2 weeks I finally got a reply from Spigen. It was a 1 line reply.

"Looks like Amazon already refunded your order."

That's it. Nothing else in the e-mail.

I am absolutely appalled that a company would treat their customers like this. As someone who has worked in CS before I don't know how these people's managers allow them to keep their jobs.

LOL.

Where do I sign up to do business with this company?....
[Nexus 5 Accessories] joshyth:
I asked to cancel my order too, and the order was cancelled. But somehow they still send me the screen protector, and didn't charge me anything. :victory: lol.

Too bad I actually decided to go without a screen protector, so it's no use to me.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dingokevin:
They truly have honorable customer services, I emailed them saying I was going to leave a bad review 4 days ago and still no email back. I guess they don’t care about happy customers once they have your money. lame company
[Nexus 5 Accessories] zoglog:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] AndrasLOHF:
I got a reply yesterday. Took two weeks but I'm getting a new TPU and free screen protector. Good by me.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dingokevin:
Two weeks for a company to get back to its customers is ridiculous. Good that you are getting a replacement.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jimbo1215:
turns out they also refunded the cost of my slim armor which is completely fine, so I guess I can't complain. Free case for my screen protector troubles.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dingokevin:
Well I got a damaged case and no response so looks like I'm hosed.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sn0warmy:
1. What method you used to contact them

- Emailed them through their website about the Neo Hybrid Case I ordered through their Amazon Store.

2. How long ago you contacted them

- November 9th. (14 days ago)

3. Your item defect

- No defect but was inquiring whether their outer portion of the case would be sold separately since I managed to scuff mine up.

I've heard nothing from them and don't expect to at this point.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nolook:
they are really slow to reply... just left them bad feedback for their sharp edged ultra slim fit case...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dingokevin:
Just got this after leaving a bad review on ebay.....

--We are sorry for our late response and for the delay in your shipment.

There was an unusual high volume of order and an error in our shipping system. We are currently working to fix our issues.

We are so sorry that the issue with the Ultra Hybrid case has not been resolved.

If you could kindly provide us with a photo of the scratches, and let us know of your preference between a replacement or a refund, we can help you resolve this issue.

Please let us know at your earliest convenience. We hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you and have a nice day! :)

[Nexus 5 Accessories] DokoBG1:
I also received an email from Spigen a day ago from their customer support regarding the power button of my SLim Armor, which was refunded already from Amazon but was not requested to be returned, then i cut off the button completely and am using it like that now.

SO the lady tells me , she is sorry for the delay (15 days) and that she sees that i got my refund from Amazon. Then she goes to tell me there will be a new product at the end of the year so i can look at it then...

Oh well. I have ordered a Cruizerlite case today. Don't think i will be using this "home fixed" Spigen for long...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dingokevin:
Sent them a response and no follow up from them. These people are a joke.
[General Questions and Answers] hekler25:
Hello everyone, I bought a brand new IPPO Q78 (Android 4.0.4) via focalprice.com 2 month ago. First day of using it, and by using I mean simply installing a few apps, and after reboot, I got BOOT LOOP problem, so it wasn't able to get to tablets home screen. After lot of reading about similar problems, I was able to successfully unbrick it using (I suggest others with same cheap china tablet that are also soft bricked to use this program, it really was the only one which helped me):

http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f781/android-tablet-wifi-cpu-a10-a13-wipe-rom-easy-zakir-gsm-1656461

Here is my situation now, you can view it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cU1KYIrvZWI

Before, when it was soft bricked, at least after this android logo came the android animation that looped forever, but my computer was able to recognize and install the drivers for Android ADB device, now it can't, it won't recognize my tablet no matter what, ONLY when I press volume up and connect it to usb port, then it recognizes and installs vid_1f3a_pid_efe8﻿ driver, which also I cannot use with LiveSuite, why? I really don't know, I've tried every possible solution found on forums (mainly here, but elsewhere also).

Whole this situation is a result of me doing the CWM upgrade/install, I'm a newbie, so I cannot tell for sure what was it, I just know it was from xda--developers forum, more accurately this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2189640

after this, poof. I think it is hard bricked, and my question is, is there a way to flash it (btw, tablet is rooted) by only having access through mentioned driver vid_1f3a_pid_efe8 and without LiveSuit, cause I would have to download and try a 100 ROM's before I pin the one that suits my tablet. It's really a tough program to deal with, but if it's the only one, I would gladly format and reinstall my Windows OS as many times I need to to get it working.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PedexGaming:
Just after getting my G2 i installed CyanogenMod 10.2 Milestone on it. I started doing some tests to see if CM could be my daily driver, and nothing really seemed to be a deal breaker, except, when i try to record videos (or I'm guessing any other sound recorder) the sound it not really that great. I went back to the stock LG software, and was hoping i only had to stay there until CM fixed the noise cancellation issue. But what do i find, the noise cancellation problem is still there.

I have been looking around here on the XDA forums, (This is my first post btw) and I came across this (what seemed like) amazing mod. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2471900 But it might just be me being a droid-noob (Have only had android for 2 weeks now), but i cant figure out how to get this to work, it even bumps up the quality of pictures and videos including other cool tweaks. I have tried installing the .zip file via CWM, but that gave me nothing, also tried installing the cameraapp.apk the thread provided, but it just refused to install.

So please, if any droid-guru can help me make my microphone sound better, (both in the stock software and in CM) i would appreciate it!:D
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoliCall:
Are you using some cover on the G2 ? If so, try removing it as it might cause disturbance to the reference microphone.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PedexGaming:
I do not have a cover or case, and I know the noise cancellation is software related. My phone is the D802, the one without a rear-facing microphone, maby that can have something to do with it?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cristy7610:
I have the same problem witm my lg g2.After I record a video or use voice recorder the sound freezing and the quality is very poor.I thought that I have only my this problem...My phone is not rooted and I have it from yesterday morning.Today I sow this problem.I made a factory reset and the problem is not solved.Is something that I can do with this issue?

so title should be cm10.2 Noise cancellation, lol

Sent from my LG-D802
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PedexGaming:
This is happening on stock, CM and PAC-man roms, so its not just a CM issue.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bachera:
my bad, you can disable it from dialer however, it might be good reason to return your unit

Sent from my LG-D802
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PedexGaming:
I have thought about that, but I've heard a few other people have this problem as well, and im 99% sure it is software related. Though to every rule there is an exception..
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PedexGaming:
Just some more info. Here is a video i recorded going home from work, and as you can hear the sounds are very "Watery" or "Distorted" as many describe it. (The bad video quality is a combination of my using CM10.2, only recording in 720P and YouTubes bitrate being bad as always)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgdtWzoQkOU&feature=youtu.be

And no, I did NOT cover up any of the microphones, im 100% sure about that.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayochs:
yep, that's just this phones awful audio recording here. it's god awful. my htc rezound did the same thing, yet all the following phones i had (s3, DNA, gnex, S4) didn't do this. so it's like a 3 year old problme that LG just can't manage to fix. sigh.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PedexGaming:
Then how can you explain many of the video tests on YouTube does not have this problem..? It just seems strange.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steamer86:
Video uses the rear mic for audio zoom. Not even sure if it cancels as well like the top. Verizons model ONLY has a top. I have no distortion or watery sound when using stock recorder or on video. I however do get dead silence between some sounds, very good cancellation, sometimes a bit too much. Voice Privacy in dailer has NOTHING to do with voice cancellation. It is an algorithm used to encrypt voice communications and is worthless being hacked long ago. VS980
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PedexGaming:
I have the d802, and that does not have rear mounted microphone. So maybe it is just some bad optimization. There has got to be a way to disable the noise cancelling microphone, or use it as a secondary mic.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PedexGaming:
Okay..

So basically every rom out there for the G2 has terrible sound when it comes to the microphone, but there is a fix, i'm sure!

A few weeks back i downloaded the AOSPA 4 rom for the G2 and installed it, and guess what, it removed the noise cancellation!

But after the rom was buggy here and there, I decided to live with the bad sound on CM 10.2.

Now a few weeks has gone by, and I wanted to try out the updated AOSPA 4 rom, but what is diz, the sound is terrible!?

So it seems like the whoever is in charge of the AOSPA rom for the G2 has brought back the horrible sound.

Now is there a way to get the microphone profiles from one rom over to another? I have the old AOSPA 4 rom, with the working sound on my computer, and I want to take the microphone profile, and save it, so that i can manually add it to any other rom i download in the future, because I know that roms like CM probably wont update the mic profile for one specific phone.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danatiel:
Hey there, I just got myself LG G2 D802 and I find the noise cancellation in videos to be extremely annoying. Do you guys know if there is a fix to it yet? Something to disable it would be awesome. :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danatiel:
bump :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalboy94:
Might be a HW fault or y'all are being too sensitive ;) videos recorded with my D802 have great sound.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danatiel:
Well, I envy you then :) Here is sample from my phone (excuse my english, it is not my first language):

CLICK

In the first second you can hear 'normal' sound, then it goes down. You can hear my voice very well, so the quality of it is fine, but then you can't hear very well the scratching sounds (it cuts in and out).

And here is a source file: CLICK

Could it be really a hardware issue? Should I return the phone?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sulla65:
Bumping this in hopes there's been some progress on this subject? I returned two Lg G2's due rto this issue, so its definitely an issue with the phone. Thanks
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gabre:
guys, anybody, Im bumping another thread just to get this issue alive, im going insane with bad recordings, I will throw the phone at the wall
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PedexGaming:
Bumping again. If any developer wants, I can provide a DL link to a PA rom without the horrible noise cancellation, so if anyone knows how, they can port the lack of noisecancellation or make it a flashable.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1mik3:
Just got this phone and running into the same problem. Anyone find a fix? Might have to return the phone because video is completely useless this way.

could someone direct me to a download and help me unbrick :good:
