Right, Very helpful women at HTC (not)

I phoned them up to find out what is going on and she told me that the Ticket was updated yesterday to say that they have completed a quotation for the repair. When I asked wheres the quote she said there wasn't one yet! - Anyone else seing the problem with that question and answer?

I then asked her could that mean its being done under warranty as it should be a warranty repair and yet again her helpful response: I don't know.

"Try checking back with us Monday."

:-)
[Desire General] kien:
Monday is a bank holiday...
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
Yeh realised after I posted. Guess it will be Tuesday then :-( I want me new phone back.
[Desire General] huwwatkins:
Dont the phones go out of the country for repair? Might not be a bank holiday there.
[Desire General] funkymagicuk:
As you say, no impact sign, but it looks like the kind of crack you might get if you grabbed the phone and tried to bend or twist it.

It doesn't look like thats happened from nothing 'just sitting there'...but I'll take your word for it.
[Desire General] Tander_ZA:
Why would he try to bend or twist his phone? lol

Sorry to hear you're still waiting on repair progress. :(

Good luck in getting it resolved.
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
Well I certainly didn't bend/twist or grab it. I know for 110% that it was fine when I walked away and I saw the crack as I entered the room without going near it (it is that obv)

I have finally got a quote through from HTC. Its not being covered by Warranty:

Option 1: £68.90 for Repair and shipping back which breaks down to:

Repair = £28.00

Labour = £22.00

Shipping = £8.64

VAT = £10.26

Option 2: Send it back without repair for a total of £22.08 breaking down in:

Labour = £10.15

Shipping = £8.64

VAT = 3.29

Option 3: For them to dispose the phone free of charge.

Well I totally do not agree with shipping the phone back unrepaired £22.08 for nothing! Not worth it.

I don't want the phone disposed I just paid £30 for it and took out a 2 year contract and only had it three weeks.

So my only real option is to get it repaired but I still completly disagree having to pay that amount when I didn't break it! I would consider paying for the shipping back but I do not agree with the labour or parts!

i am going to be phoning HTC up again this morning and having more words with them.
[Desire General] !PANDA:
hi, if the screen (AMOLED) still displays a clear picture, then its the digitizer (touch panel) you need. Thats about £20 (eBay), the screen it self is about £45 + £5 for the tools.. (but you'll have to fix it yourself!) unluckily for me, its the AMOLED that broke! still waiting for the screen! :(

hope this helps! good Luck!
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
Yeh it is the digitizer thats broken and not the actual Amoled screen itself. However 1: I can't fix this myself as not good with small parts 2: I have to pay £22 to get the phone returned without repair so by the time I have bought the part I will be paying around £42
[Desire General] EddyOS:
It's harsh but I woulda claimed on my insurance by this point!!

Good luck to you :D
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
I can't claim insurance :-(

Hopefully this may do the trick.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
How come? 'Accidental' damage is covered normally isn't it?
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
On Insurance yes but I don't have mobile insurance and haven't taken out my Contents insurance yet :-(

[Desire General] Goof757:
Good man! Sock it to em haha.
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
Yeh it does, lol

I think they could at least do this. Been loyal to T-Mobile for around 10 years I think and I have brought alot of new customers to them and up until now been a very quite customers now causing them to spend money so they hopefully should take that into account.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
I kicked off at Vodafone last year when I found out their N97 FW wasn't coming out on the white version as it wasn't apparently an official Vodafone FW. It was their product code and had their splash screen all over it!!

Emailed the CEO and had Customer Relations get in touch and they agreed to exchange the phone. Ever since I've gone SIM-free to not have operator issues again
[Desire General] nethk:
All that trouble for 60 pounds? God damn
[Desire General] EddyOS:
It's the principle, if it's the units design that lead to the fault then the unit should be replaced FOC
[Desire General] Sibbi:
And because of statements like that, HTC won´t agree to repair the phone.

@OP: Kick their asses, dude ;)
[Desire General] Tander_ZA:
That's hardly the point, is it?

Why should he have to pay 60 pounds to repair a three week old phone that has developed a manufacturing fault? :rolleyes:

@ OP: Good luck - hope you have it sorted.
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
Lol, Sorry been busy over the last few days not had time to read the posts.

I haven't heard anything as of yet but I gave them a deadline of the 14th to respond in writing. I will give them a call later today however to ensure they have the letter.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sturmeh:

Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Apps and find Launcher Pro. Select it and you will find a button to turn it off as default.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquidgyB:
You can use an app from the market to switch quickly to another homescreen app too, without changing the default. Can't remember the exact name, something like "home switcher", with a square icon with two arrows pointing in opposite directions.

It's already faster than Nexus One on 2.2, so I have some high expectations for a stable Froyo on Galaxy S. ( Using JIT. )
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Hyperion82:
I'd recommend to keep the phone.

SGS dev's community is growing every day. I see more and more custom roms published every day almost (Cyanogen team working on a rom already ) besides that there's a new thread here by raspdeep, that gives hope of kernel that will work with same file system that n1 has, so there will be NO LAG at all soon enough.

patience is the key to the real joy and happiness :)

This is the best phone out there by far ! the 4" is the sweet-spot + super amoled has the best of both worlds (LCD and AMOLED).

cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] darkoroje:
No-one really knows what 2.2 is going to fix. So far Samsung has not released anything, not even a fix for GPS problems.

If you are unhappy with the phone, the best thing to do is to return it. When 2.2 appears if the problems are fixed you can buy it again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] andrewluecke:
I'd agree.. They have improved many things in the leaked firmwares, but GPS hasn't been fixed fully yet, and there is no guarantee that the GPS problems will be fixed. At the moment, those of us who own the phone are simply hoping.

That being said, at the worst there is a hardware flaw and that means we should be able to get our phones serviced with new working components (or it might involve a new backplate with a proper antenna). At best, software related, and it's a patch. It's also possible some functions of the GPS chip aren't fully implemented in the drivers yet.

Either way, your option of least risk is to wait and see. All evidence seems to point towards Samsung working towards fixing the problem.. Slowly...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jodue:
if it still laggs after the newest lagg fix (ext2 partition inside file) i suspect you still use the crappy iphone-like luncher and the daily briefing widget from samsung. replace the luncher with luncher pro oder adw luncher and you will be lag free! keep the phone, it's the best hardware now and this will not change until the dual core cpu's come in end of q4. the froyo update will solve the lagging issue, i'm sure! samsung is already working on it (that we know for a fact)!

how to remove TW3

I have heard on the forums that even when you use launcher pro, the touch wiz interface is still active in the background and consuming memory, how can i totally disable touchwiz

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
a Task manager or just remove it from ur system :confused:

adb remount

adb shell rm /system/app/appname.apk

adb uninstall <package name>

adb shell rm /data/dalvik-cache/<package name>
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tylerham:
But then when you use Kies, doesn't it want only TouchWiz to be running?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Yes it does. U get some u lose some :\

Wht u cud do is just get a task manager and set it to kill it, although i don't understand why it would be launching if u set launcherpro as ur default home app ? Try setting launcher-pro as default launcher and then get one of those home switchers from the market or make a shortcut on ur homescreen that launches touchwiz's intent any time u want to use kies.

Hi guys!

Got a problem with paying in the Market, as Google checkout either doesn't accept my cards or pops up a server problem when I try to register with a different one from the device. Now, what I want is just ONE app, Power Strip. I see two solutions here:

One, somebody smart will tell me where the technical (server) problem lies and how to work around it. I suspect Market Enabler, as I live in Poland and use TMOUS settings.

Two, somebody charitable will buy the wretched app for me, which I'll pay them back for, and send me the apk...

Hi,

Well, I use since last week a SanDisk 32 microSDhc class 2. Pretty fast in data transfer.

Read somewhere that the class 2 of this 32 GB edition can be compared to class 6 of older micro SD cards.

Had the standard 2gb microSD before, which was sold with the HD2.

Have no issues of speed with SanDisk 32 microSDhc class 2, when it comes to running Android and transfer data.

Hello everybody,

I have big files to integrate into my application (videos), and thus for not not that my application occupies all the internal memory of the telephones, I saw that it was possible with Froyo to install the applications on the SD card.

I thus have to test this solution and my application settles down well on the SD card, the only problem it is that the system installs all the same my files videos (which are placed in the file /raw) on the internal memory of the telephone. Thus my question it is where to place my videos or where to make so that these also settle down on the SD carde ???

The other lockscreen does show sometimes I have noticed (such as for alarm), but ensure all security on it is turned off for things to work properly. Also, you might just need to set the options better.

I'll try out simply lock, I like widget locker because earlier I had a bunch of widgets and apps on it that I'd be most likely to call up when unlocking (maps, internet, power control, weather widget.)

Now, with LauncherPro's gesture shortcuts I have blank homescreens and just dock icons with a dual functions since I use a gesture on them. Now, I've cleaned out widget locker to look at my beautiful background. Meanwhile, I can get to my homescreen by pressing home, back and/or having a lock icon (vanilla, widgetlocker, sense, and I think 2 other options).

Definitely liking this look to my phone more than all the others I have tried.
