We'll need to push harder together

I have forwarded the link of the petition to the Handheld guy at Cnet Asia hoping het could refer to it from their side.

I live in Taipei, and ven called HTC already a few times trying to get someone on the phone from customer support.

If no answer from them with a week, I'll spost the e-mail address from a known Customer Support Manager working there... Sending 1800 mail to her directly might also help.:eek:

Great device, poor drivers, company & support sucks big time.

Lets get the ball rolling

I have made couple of calls to HTC support and I think I was able to get the ball rolling a bit :)

HTC Support person (Perry) was actually already aware of the Petition ;) which is a good sign.

He told me it depends on the development team whether they start working on the drivers. Bad news is, there is nobody currently working on the drivers.

He took my details and created an escalation support case. If development team gets a lot of escalations for single issue, they will most likely choose our issue to work on.

Couple notes:

- called Ireland and US support numbers, but they have no info about software updates/issues at all (no use to call these numbers)

- UK number

0845-890-0079

(option 3 - for technical issues) <- this is the number to call

- my case number: 071128UK14330835

I would encourage everybody to call HTC europe support and complain about the issue. You may either reference my case number, or have them create a new escalation support case.

I was also given email address: info@htc.com which you may try to inform HTC about the issue or the petition.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] margatenj:
fuko747 - great friggin job man!

Reference the case number and have them create a new one ... also ask for estimated time for the new driver, this will (could) help push it, and if they say they do not know that answer, reply back with "who do I need to talk to get this information". Put them on the spot, hell they got our money and if they want our future support, they'll need to step up.

Also make sure they're informed about the petition and our user base - maybe if they know us, our numbers, as "super users" of their devices we'll get more support now and in the future.

fuko747 - great friggin job man! good to see someone do something and not just talk about doing something. (and not just you but all of the others, a damn good reason to be a member of this site, the users of the devices so we can support each other.)

I couldbring the printed petition to their HQ maybe?

Trying to log-in to read their reaction, seems my account was "disabled" :eek: . I hope this is a pure coincidence and that they did not black-listed me for the sake of keeping this petition-awereness pretty low...

If HTC's ass is covered that way, than do not even think they will ever provide a driver update. :mad:

Having been involved with tech-related petitions in the past. The best thing to do is to print it out (when you get as many sigs as you can) and send it certified to both the company headquarters and a high-level executive. It's hard to ignore a large stack of papers.

HTC's company policy

HTC service sucks. I know they make the best top of the range WM6 phones, but quite frankly I'm sick of their bad service. I bought the TyTN just when it was out and I bought the Kaiser as soon as I could get my hands on it.

Apart from the video driver issue, I've been having a big problem with skipped double letters when using the slideout keyboard. I sent my unit for repair and they sent it back unrepaired. Now they're refusing to give me a replacement, clearly violating the terms of the warranty.

This is an actual extract from an HTC Europe support service e-mail to me:

We are sorry you are experiencing problems with your device. In order for a HTC device to be replaced it will need to be sent into repair three times for the same problem without being successfully repaired.

Have you tried a soft and hard reset? Please be aware that a hard reset sets the device back to factory default settings and any saved information and settings added on the device will be lost.

Then they also mock me on the phone: I had to wait 20 mins (no exaggeration) for a customer representative to tell me more or less the same thing: they never replace a phone unless 1) you send it in a few times (!!!); and 2) they acknowledge that there is something wrong with the unit and they can't repair it.

I'm never buying a phone from these scoundrels again, it's OBVIOUSLY COMPANY POLICY to disserve the customer, it's not an isolated incident..

I suggest everyone here gives some consideration to whether they want to give their money to these people in the future.

Also, if your petition doesn't work out, there's always customer associations that might be willing to help. Just a suggestion..

The only thing talked about on the AT&T forums is "why doesn't my MediaNet work? i think i put in the right settings!" or "how do i recieve my emails!". It's nothing high level like this.

Btw, I've signed the petition. I hope HTC can accommodate us.

At least a statement on their internet site informing the audience that they are "aware" of the problem should already give some positive perspective.

Spoke with the engineer finally. He was aware of the issue, said with new devices patches would be coming though he had no idea of an ETA (so essentially they haven't started work on them). He also recommended I try a third party software for video playback etc. When I tried to explain the issue was at an OS level not software I got the same crap repeated over and over.... so I will be logging another ticket until I get a decent answer.

Getting heard at HTC

It's been my experience that a letter from a law firm always get's attention. If there is a serious interest in getting a list of issues settled all those interested should chip in, spend some money with a lawyer and get some legal correspondence going to HTC USA. If you want a corp to take you seriously sending a lawyer, even by letter to address your concerns usually gets things moving. If you want to help hedge your bet letting the media know (one or 2 of the writers for the Pocket PC Mags) that there is group of TyTn II owners engaging a lawyer to get their issues heard.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] borealcool:
That IMHO is the worst thing to do. They will toss it over to the suits and close up like clamshell cellphones referring any questions to the usual corporate mantra of "We cannot comment legal proceedings".

The petition is also misguided. A company the size of HTC responds to sales, potential sales and loss of sales. Who buys from them? Carriers not consumers. You want results...

- Start or modify the petition directing it at carriers selling Kaiser.

- Issue a press release announcing the petition. This will cost 500$.

- Have a petition spokesperson ready to answer media questions.

This will achieve 3 objectives:

1. Make consumers (not just tech savvy people) aware they can do something about their expensive, flawed device.

2. The media will seek comment from carriers and/or HTC.

3. HTC will address and/or fix the issue.

To the dreamers who choose to believe HTC will fix the issue without intervention...HTC has released five (5 :eek:) devices since Kaiser/Tilt's introduction. Kaiser is already a remnant device and they do not hire a set of engineers for each one. I read they are all over Androide devices now, expecting them to go back to Kaiser is wishful thinking.

... only recently when "FOOTBALL" made it posible with WM6.0 for the X51V & "MagLite_RUS" made one for the X50V.

think about it .... we paid huge $$$ for the device and its potential is crippled ??? and you are content with it ??? :eek:

Speaking of Apple ... those things are the worse when it comes to consumer's choices ( look it up on how Apple tried to make you use only their design/developed hardware/software in order for it to work ) .... but the masses know better and we tinkered with those devices and customized it to our liking ( and do you think that Apple like it ?? ) :rolleyes:

Don't get me wrong, but with the list of WM devices I have had, I have heard it all before. Faulty software, faulty hardware and disabled hardware.

Remember the Universal? only b enabled instead of g.

Are we going to take up arms against all operators because they don't put on certain apps??

That's why this Forum was formed, for developing. Not as a soapbox for people with a grudge. TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE!

Almost every electronic device sold has some missing components or hardware not enabled.

It's called future planning, Upgrades, Updates and throw it away, buy the 'NEW' model.

Welcome to the real (corporate) world!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jinnosuke:
You cant expect an update for the crappy Video drivers or the lack there of unless someone makes a fuss about it maybe you should take a lesson from the corporate world... thats the only thing corporate responds to now days bad publicity. The whole device is slowed due to this crappy implementation of this chip....These guys with pitch forks is why your device ultimately gets upgraded.

Be great full we don't have the dullard fanboy drones that apple has that take it up the arse and ask for more. So STFU sign the petition and let these guys fight your battle.

I've received this watch two weeks ago from Hong Kong

I open this thread to share my impressions with other users of this smartwatch.

1st impressions:

- contruction: material are very good. it's not easy to insert sim card

- update: i've installed one OTA update on 24/07, no changelog provided

- wifi: ok

- battery: not good, 1/2 day with normal use (bluetooth, gps on, sync off, automatic screen on shake off)

- apps: the apps like play store are not fitted to the round screen so it's really hard to use it

- runtastic: not compatible

- apps from play store : can't use some installed apps (after install are not listed in launcher)

- health functions: heart rate seems to be inaccurate. it's impossible to have a continuos monitoring with preinstalled app.

- calls: no problem, voice is clear with speakerphone. mic is ok.

- OK Google functions: really hard to set-up because of round screen. OK Google detection works (only with open app? maybe for some lost set-up)

- root: from settings menu you can unlock bootloader

phone app: sometimes my phone (oneplus one) can't connect to the paired watch. the app Sinwear is not the best...

I bought the Lemfo Lem3 which seems to be exactly the same as the Blitz.

The biggest issue for me is the battery life.

Even with GPS, Bluetooth and WiFi turned off the battery last only about 7hrs. The specs stated 3hrs talk time, but the battery runs out after about 30min when making a phone call.

The battery life is a show stopper for me as I don't want to have to charge it several times throughout the day.
