[HTC One Mini] J0ro:
Hello, first of all I want to make it clear that my model is HTC One Mini (M4) and I'm posting here because I will get response faster, because m4 forums are pretty dead at the moment. My phone is three months old, so it roughly had like an year and nine months guarantee left. I had rooted my device and flashed CM11-nightly. Suddenly one morning the phone literally died in my hand with no reason at all. I have never dropped it, neither water damage it or something like that. I've tried everything to get it working again, with no luck. I've sent it to service through my carrier. They told me the phone will be sent to Germany (I guess HTC have service center there). I've waited almost a month and finally I got response. They told me that I've rooted and want me to pay 300$ for a new motherboard and I'm not gonna have any warranty left after paying. I've found few posts with almost identical problem, but people state that HTC fixed their devices for free. Here's one post for example: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52462075&postcount=13

For me this is ridiculous - it is like getting a new laptop, installing some linux distro on it, because you just don't like WIndows (HTC Sense for my example) and then get billed for faulty hardware. I really need your help folks, as this phone is on leasing and I am still paying it. I really can't afford these 300$ now and I have no guarantee that HTC's own hardware won't fault again and I will have to pay again. I really need an advice how to proceed. Should I try get my phone and try to send it to some other service center again and hoping for a miracle? Do I have any rights after hardware malfunction that I'm not responsible of, even after rooting? Yeah, I'm that desperate.

One thing I am sure of - I am never buying HTC's products again. After buying it had gaps of imperfections, had lights coming out of these gaps ( reference - http://i.imgur.com/4lXWWth.jpg ). They didn't want to swap the device. Now this.

1. Is there not an RUU you can use to back to stock?

2. Regardless of whether the forum is dead, you've still posted in the wrong place so it will get closed/moved eventually
[HTC One Mini] J0ro:
It's HTC regarding problem, not HTC One in general. No I cannot get back to stock, because phone just can't boot as it's motherboard is dead, like I wrote in the OP.
[HTC One Mini] shrirang44:
How did the came to know u rooted ur phone!
[HTC One Mini] J0ro:
I don't know. I knew it was obvious it was a hardware failure when I've sent it and thought that they will just give me a new device.

Moved to HTC One Mini Q&A.

Devices have their own specific fora for a reason, you might get faster advice, but it may be wrong.

And again someone with cm11 flashed... i havent found a single person with this problem with a custom sense rom:rolleyes:
[HTC One Mini] RuffBuster:
If your gonna be charged $300 you have the right to know why and in DETAIL! I'm currently dealing with HTC with another hardware issue. And i've found them to be pretty lazy checking there phones. I've sent my phone in twice now for a faulty usb port. The first time they didn't even look at it and sent it back saying there was nothing wrong with it ...right. The point is they most likely didn't even test it and decided to put the blame on you because they can... As much as I like my phone I don't think i'd go HTC again. You want to get on to your version of trading standards.

[MENTION=4344080]Braddison[/MENTION] Thanks for info.

Just recieved an email from the HTC repair centre regarding my phone repair, for my loose USB port, and I'm pissed!!! :mad::mad::mad:

In the email HTC has said that the loose USB port isn't covered by the warranty and they want to charge me to replace the main board?! £130!!! which I guess is near $300? Absolute bull! How can HTC charge me for USB port becoming loose after only 3 months? The phone should last the 2 years for which I am contracted! The USB/charger port should last the wear of time, or at least my contract!

Soon as I wake tomorrow I ringing them to tell them exactly this, and if they don't listen I'm going straight to Trading Standards. I'm not gonna let them cheat me on this. .....£130! £130???? seriously?!

I think this will be my first and last HTC phone EVER!
[HTC One Mini] RuffBuster:
So I contacted HTC to find out why my warranty doesn't cover a faulty charger port, and they have told me because I have unlocked my bootloader my warranty won't cover a faulty charger port... I know it states this on the HTCDev site before you unlock your bootloader, but the bootloader is software while the fault on my phone is clearly hardware, and proving the phone is of poor quality build, which is something that would of occurred whether I was rooted or not. This is just an excuse to get out of repairing my poorly built HTC One mini, and proves without a doubt that HTC don't care about its consumers or the quality of the product they are selling.

I may be on a contract but I still end up paying around £400 over time to own this phone. For a device that costs this much the build quality and service should be satisfactory..

I had a heated conversation with HTC trying to explain that the fact I had unlocked my bootloader had nothing to do with the fault on my phone, but they just kept arguing that because I had unlocked the bootloader I was liable for the cost of all repairs no matter what was wrong with my £400 phone! This is just an excuse to get out of the fact that they have sold me a faulty product, and pure dis-concern for its consumers. They seem very happy to put out a poorly built device to the public and take our money.

Well I haven't given up, I won't accept that I should take responsibility for something that would of happened whether or not I had unlocked my bootloader, for which HTC shouldn't be able to take the right away for me to install custom software, as the device is my property, and as such should be able to do so.

After the heated phone call to HTC they have now got me waiting for a callback from the "HTC Escalation Team". And while I wait for that I have been in contact with "Trading Standards/Citizens Advice" here in the UK. They have told me that the responsibility lies with the seller of the phone in my case "MobilePhonesDirect.com" under the "Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982". So I contacted them and they also have denied that this is their responsibility, so I argued that they have to supply a product that meets the specification and description of what they advertise which it clearly doesn't, and as such they need to under the law "Repair, Replace like for like or Refund". I have now been passed onto their "Escalation Team", and am awaiting their response........

If I don't get anywhere with HTC or the seller, I'll be contacting "Trading Standards" once again. but in the mean time HTC have my £400 phone, which I have already been without for 2 weeks. This is all very sad and think I'll be moving back to Samsung in the near future....

Also EU laws that protect users who unlock their bootloader or root their phone, do not apply in the United Kingdom, as their laws overrule these EU rules, even though we're in the EU..... So a nice little loop hole for an uncaring company like HTC.....
[HTC One Mini] AnGrY sCoTsMaN:
Oft! Htc are completley outta order mate,yeah you've rooted but that doesn't cause a hardware fault like that...ridiculous that they are not honoring there warranty! its evident that there build quality isn't that great, thats why so many users (myself included) are noticing cracks etc . Im sorry to hear your troubles and i am seriously questioning htc as my next device also.

I thought the EU law thing woulda helped ya...obviously not, sorry man

Hope you get a decent outcome...keep us posted

cheers
[HTC One Mini] J0ro:
I just gave up. I've payed the money, because I can't stand staying without a smartphone anymore. Anyways, I'm never ever buying HTC or recommending it to anybody.
[HTC One Mini] RuffBuster:
Small update. Called HTC again today after not receiving my callback. They had no record of a callback ...lies. Then they went on to tell me now that Im not covered under warranty because I have forced my usb port... Which I didn't. I argued how they could say that had done the damage myself and they could't answer. Instead they started quoting how I'm not covered because I unlocked the bootloader... Excuses excuses.

My phone seller has been back in touch telling me they can not find anything in their copy of the warranty to cancel my warranty based on software changes...

They asked me to get a copy of the repair report from HTC, but when I asked for this from HTC they refused to send the report until I paid for my phone to be returned or repaired ...I HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE ACCESS TO THESE DOCUMENTS!

When I argued my right to these documents I was told to I could take them to court! WTF !?

I asked for another callback to be arranged and a copy of their warranty that says why I won't be covered. He sent me a copy over email. BUT it doesn't say anything about not being covered for unlocking my bootloader. I then checked out htcdev.com again as directed by the man at HTC and again it doesn't say anything about voiding my entire warranty only that they won't cover things like your phone overheating from changing software, which has nothing to do with the charger port......

They want me to take them to court, so be it!

Its killing me not having my phone. Currently stuck using my old phone with gingerbread... But I won't let them cheat me! going on 3 weeks without my phone...

I know I am in the right! They hope I will give up. Never! They have enough of my money!

I am sick of dealing with their call centres reading from scripts like idiotic robots and will be writing to their HQ here in the UK.

Htc's customer service really sucks. I had to wait so long and you have to wait so long. I hate how they don't do anything about the one mini's plastic cracking. But I like sense more than anything else in android.
[HTC One Mini] Andy:
[MENTION=4474911]RuffBuster[/MENTION] In situations like these you need to remain calm, getting irate on the phone will do nothing to help resolve the situation. I've had a little personal experience with HTC Service Centers, HTC's warranty & my legal rights. Both with my Desire HD & One X.

The important things you need to remember are HTC are not liable. They did not sell you the goods, even HTC's own e-store is not managed by them. (http://shop.emea.htc.com/uk/p_htc_store_terms.aspx).

Your citing the wrong law, Your specific case would cite the "Sale of Goods Act 1979". As its the "good" that is concerned. - Source

Additionally Trading Standards will be unable to help, as HTC did not sell you the phone.

You need to pressure the seller that they are responsible. As its within 3 months of sale, they need to prove that the good was of satisfactory quality.

I had a similar issue with Phones4U and my Desire HD (faulty vibrate motor), if you cite the right law, they cannot push you about and ignore your legal rights, in the end I got a replacement from Phones4U not HTC.

If you need any help with what to say and to whom. Feel free to PM me and I can try to help.
[HTC One Mini] RuffBuster:
I understand HTC are not "liable", like if you buy a bad apple you don't go to the grower, you go to the person who sold it to you. But HTC still have to provide a decent level of customer service, which they aren't, like withholding my repair report until I hand over the money. My seller needs this document before they will look further into my case.

Also still haven't received my 2nd 48 hour callback almost 3 days later, after not receiving the first one...

My phone is just over 6 months old now, but this shouldn't matter as the warranty is for 24 months, and a charger port shouldn't break before the end of the warranty from only charging and a few goes with my usb otg cable.

I am currently in contact with trading standards, htc and my phone seller to try and resolve this. Though HTC are the ones causing all the trouble...

[HTC One Mini] RuffBuster:
So here's what's happened...

After phoning the HTC Repair Hotline a further 3 times asking for a callback each time, and not receiving one, I complained about the fact I had been waiting almost 3 weeks to hear back from them. I was finally given a callback from a HTC supervisor from the UK who apologized about the fact they hadn't called me back and that this was their fault, and because of this they offered to repair my phone free of charge, as a gesture of good will. But only because of the long waiting times I have suffered.

This is a WARNING to everyone on here. If you unlock your bootloader, and your phone develops a fault that requires the mainboard to be replaced, you WILL NOT be covered by your warranty! Unless you are very lucky and they don't notice you have. Your risk!

Personally I won't be rooting my phone anytime soon after this, which is a real shame because i'm a flashaholic. Just to make sure my phone is working as it should, with the quality issues I have seen and experienced...

I unlocked bootloader and rooted, but haven't switched to rom, using original one. I really don't know what to do now. I hate HTC so much, I'm gonna throw up. Any ideas?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedyjay:
Hey peeps!

I was just wondering if their was a way to edit the icon dock, specifically add words under the icon? I like the stock icons in CM11 I was just wondering if their was a way to add words to accompany them? For instance underneath the messages icon have the word "messages" and so on and so forth.

Thanks guys and girls because I know their are lady geeks too lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misterjunky:
re: text labels

The text labels underneath home screen and dock are readily

available just by selecting a different launcher which has that feature.

Give "Next Launcher 3D Shell" a try, it has that option and more.

There are other launchers which have that feature too.

Good luck!
[General Questions and Answers] MattMcGoogan:
I've been exploring my new galaxy s5, and with all the bells and whistles I can't help but wonder, can these new superphones be used to unlock a car? I'm not talking about with the assistance of the things that you can buy and have put in the car. I'm talking about getting them to send the standard signal that remote central locking systems already use...

So, is it possible?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flither:
Hi, I've got an annoying problem...

As far as i know the first thermal threshold for kicking down the CPU freq to 800MHz is set to somewhere around 80oC in SGS3. But in my case it kicks in after achieving just 51-54oC which makes some games unplayable after 5 mins :(

I've read somewhere that the battery temperature (45oC or so) is also considered when throttling down the CPU frequency, but my battery hits just 41oC when it happens...

Could it be a faulty temperature sensor(s) or just faulty almost 2 years old battery? I have no more clues, could anybody help? :confused:

Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foggydisaster:
That's tricky... Afaik you CAN change some system files to avoid throttling but I don't believe that that would be healthy... Your temperature sensors could also be faulty... I don't know

Sent from my toaster
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flither:
yeah, but is it possible that it's throttling down on such normal temperatures? Or maybe there's another safety mechanism involved (dunno, maybe GPU temp sensor)? But my GPU runs on stock freqs and voltage...also it doesn,t matter if i'm undervolted on CPU or not, still the same

I don't actually know... I've never faced throttling problems so i don't know what else can cause this.. Perhaps there is something else involved...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nocrack21:
Hi all,

I broke the screen of my Nexus 7 (2012). I tried changing it but even a new one still shows no hope for me...

I'd need to take a backup of my data /apps/all stuff in this device so I can transfer it to my phone for the time being.

Ideally I'd like to install some sort of a VNC program so that I can do a titanium backup.

The device is rooted and has USB debuging active.

How can I achieve that without a screen ?

Thank you all !!

Sorry mate but downgrading from 4.4.2 is not possible!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brownie2k:
1) No, it's not possible to downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2. Once you've upgraded your bootloader, theres no going back.

2) No, I don't think EFS ever changes. It is possible to loose/corrupt the EFS information, so it's a good idea to have it backed up

3) Not sure on this, but it's not possible to downgrade to 4.2.2 anyway

4) I've found 4.4.2 to be better than 4.2.2, but it all depends on how your phone is set up and how much you use it anyway i'd imagine. Plus different kernels will give different results.

IMEI should never change as is hard coded to motherboard, though, once i flashed wrong CSC ROM and it changed IMEI to 0000... and could not detect any network on my country.
