[Q] I9000XXJPK Market Issue

Just flashed my Galaxy S to the latest froyo build XXJPK. Now in the market I cant find apps which I paid for.

Is there a fix available. I am not rooted. I really need the apps that I paid for but they dont show up in the market. The unpaid versions do though.

Ok, so I got a replacement battery in the mail today from Best Buy Geek Squad/Black Tie Warranty, and surprise surprise... what arrives?

A chinese knock off battery, 1100mAh, and its white! They even printed the 1500mAh part number on it 35h00123-22m! It says for HTC EVO 4G on it. Just what I wanted, a lower powered knock off for my phone :D

I expected better from best buy!

9/29/2010 follow up:

Sorry for the delayed response guys, kind of forgot I even posted this rant. So basically Geek Squad admitted that it was pretty crappy that I was sent an 1100, but they couldn't do anything about because that was the only battery they had. So I was told to buy a battery from another store and submit a receipt for it and would be refunded. I did that, but unfortunately the battery I ordered from Amazon which was supposed to be new, was actually used and even had a phone number written on it! So now I have a dispute opened with an Amazon seller as well. Still haven't submitted the receipt to best buy, probably wont even bother. It's only $15. I'm just going to cancel geek squad warranty and keep my sprint insurance. By the way, Geek Squad does not give out new phone as replacements, they are refurbs. In my opinion, Sprint's insurance is quite a bit better. No questions asked.
[EVO 4G Accessories] quietpopcorn:
Are you being serious here?
[EVO 4G Accessories] RoyalTease:
Really?

I would have expected nothing better from Worst Buy.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bludragon742:
If you're upset, then take it back!
[EVO 4G Accessories] flyingwolf:
Take it back, explain that you want a like new replacement as they promise, if they give you any lip, explain that you will be happy to let the BBB and more importantly your states attorney general know that they are buying knockoff batteries, in fact now that you think about it maybe thats how all of those battery fires started, didn't most of those have Best Buy warranties. Perhaps the local news should get word of that.

Bet you get your battery REAL FAST.
[EVO 4G Accessories] lordcyrus:
Not suprising coming from Best Buy.

I preordered my Epic 4G on Monday from a BB Mobile store and the woman there told me that the phone, before the gift card they sell you as your preorder deposit, the phone is only $200 instead of $250, and that with my card I only need to pay $150. We'll see about that.

The other thing she mentioned is that the BB protection plan will replace my phone with a brand new model, for free, no matter what is wrong with the device. They told my brother the same thing. He paid for it for a few months, the keyboard on his original Droid went bad and when he contacted them, they denied him the replacement and that they best they could do is take his phone, give him a Tracphone or something for a week and they'd ship the Droid out and return to him his repaired device.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ViViDboarder:
Also, Best Buy may not even know they are buying knockoffs. They could very well be getting ripped off themselves. I remember this happened with some company not too long ago. I can't remember the headline though.

So yea... Definitely let them know at the store and give Best Buy corporate a call or email. I think you'll probably get a response.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ViViDboarder:
They told me the correct thing when I bought mine.

They ship it off and give you a temp replacement. If they can't fix it (up to 2 weeks) they will give you a brand new replacement. You will get no refurbished devices though. Either they fix your actual device or you get a new one.
[EVO 4G Accessories] abiezer:
Yeah I used the Best Buy insurance to replace my wife's broken 8-month old Moment for an Evo for about $120 (the difference in price).

It was Newegg that had recived fake Intel processors, I can't post the link but its easily googleable.
[EVO 4G Accessories] omegasun18:
You might think so but what they are trained and supposed to do in this situation si tell you that they are no longer allowed to talk to you and you will have to contact the legal department. As an EX geek squad manager i can tell you the BBB threat will make them laugh the attorney general and news will also likely lead them to stop talking to you.

If you go in and are reasonable and they tell you tough simply ask for the district number and call the district office they will get it fixed more then likely.

The whole threaten thing is a joke and is over used and more and more it doesnt work as it used to. Most companies now train there managers and supervisors to stop talking to you as soon as you threaten to do something like that.
[EVO 4G Accessories] GaryJ51:

BBB is a joke, might as well go to Angie's list!

Caveat Emptor

Customer Service died many decades ago.
[EVO 4G Accessories] akastixx:
Hopefully, you realize the customer service you seek in many cases has nothing to do with the employee.
[EVO 4G Accessories] fintheman:
I'll also agree with this and add one as an insider to BB. They will end up calling the cops, the cops ALWAYS will side with BB because they are encouraged to have a good relationship with them. As soon as you start getting lippy and stop listening, they will call the police - the cops won't listen to ANYTHING you have to say and that is that. If you get crazy with the cops, expect a trespass charge.
[EVO 4G Accessories] flyingwolf:
Works for me everytime. Of course I follow up after the requisite warning. Mine is not a threat. It is a notification.

And if you have been trained to just shut up after your informed that your company has ripped someone off the that is criminal negligence which can easily be proven by recording the conversation.
[EVO 4G Accessories] nugzo:
Wont have to wait long for the police at my local BB. If they are open, a uniformed officer is at the front door...and marked car parked on the sidewalk out front...Always. I'm sure they are not on "official police business" most likely they are off duty and picking up some xtra bucks as security. They can still arrest you though :(

I have learned that being the asshole will get you nowhere, even if you are in the right. I would make sure you have your facts straight, if you can prove its 1100, prove it, bring documentation. Ask for a manager and be polite. I'm a business owner and when a customer comes at me with an attitude, they get what they give. The customer is always right died a long time ago. If a manager doesnt work, go to the district manager. If that doesnt work, then you got fuc%$ed. Goto BBB, Angies, Local media, google reviews etc and make them wish they would have replaced your battery. It will for sure cost them more than the battery. If 1 person gets turned away, you won :D No it wont hurt them in the big picture, but it might make you feel better if you know they lost a few thousand bucks. Online reviews work believe it or not.
[EVO 4G Accessories] omegasun18:
i dont know where you get your information but not talking to you is not criminal negligence. Also in most states recording a conversation with out both parties knowing about the recording in advance is normally not admissible as evidence in court with out a warrant stating you can record conversations.

I was a manager for 7 years and the people that came in were respectful nice and took the route i said got there problems solved by the people who threw temper tantrums threatened (even if they followed up) and were rude usually got screwed whether they were in the right or not. It is true as above that they will call the cops.

I cant tell you how many times some jerk came it not the store yelling there head off and going ballistic got escorted out because they didn't just act civil and go through the right channels. I can tell you an equal umber of stories where people where extremely nice and respectful and showed there point and the management and district staff bent over backwards to try to make it right.

your experience may be that you have gotten what you want being a deuchebag but i will say it works less and less and you have just as much of a chance of being escorted out by the police, not talked to, and getting no where as you do actually getting what you want.
[EVO 4G Accessories] flyingwolf:
I am not sure where in my statement you are getting that I go in and start acting like a jerk?

I go in, explain my issue, and state what I would like done to have it fixed.

If the issue is then not fixed I escalate with a warning that if we cannot fix it right there I have no issue making the needed calls to set the matter straight.

As for "most states", most more more than half, 2 party consent is only needed in 12 states, thats a bit less than half of the US the last time I checked.

Also of note is that while your working at a public place such as Best Buy, you have no expectation of privacy when speaking with customers therefore recording laws would not come into play.

So what your saying, is if the customer licked your boots and stroked your ego you would help them, but if you ripped them off and they were rightly pissed you used your "god like powers" to make sure they got no help at all. Got ya.

Again, if I tell an employee that there is an issue and I have been ripped off by your company and that employee just ignores me without letting a manager know, that employee is guilty of criminal negligence.

He had knowledge of reason to believe a crime had happened and he did not do what a reasonable person would and contact a person of authority, thats criminal negligence.

Either way the OP just needs to go in, explain the issue, show the proof and get it resolved, and if that does not work, do not bother dealing with letters to management etc. Just cal the local AG and let them know what happened and that this is something you believe is happening on a large scale, an investigation will be launched and they will be VERY happy to make you whole again.
[EVO 4G Accessories] MrDSL:
We are also informed that once lawyer or BBB or any of that other crap is mentioned to let them know they can now talk to the legal dept..

Being a douche will get you nowhere with customer service.Where as being nice will usually always get you results.

Hopefully someday people will figure this out.
[EVO 4G Accessories] donatom3:
We've had people complain to the BBB about our warranty policy, and basically the BBB has laughed at the people saying, we aren't asking for anything out of the ordinary. The BBB serves a purpose, but they're going to judge for the fair and reasonable side, which is not always the customer's side. In this case I think fair and reasonable is that you get a battery that is equivalent to what you had or better.

This is yet another reason why I always tell Best Buy when I'm buying a phone that I want Sprint's insurance not theirs, which they add on happily without any issue.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Wasney:
And one note tossed in from a insider at Geeksquad...we have nothing to do with your replacement parts. In the terms and conditions it will be replaced with a part the insurance company deems equivalent. It may be new or refurbished. All of the parts are ordered through the computer, and the store employee does nothing besides find out what address to send it to.

I personally think it sucks that he got a battery that is not equal to his original, but they would probably argue the fact that he sent in a used battery...idk. Wish you best of luck, but usually the most the store can do is just order you another one, and hope it is good. Most Bestbuys, at least mine and the ones near me, do not carry batteries for cell phones and other devices, so we can't just brute force the system and give one out.

I know it first hand, even though I work there I had to wait like a week to get my Hero's battery replaced. But, my battery was replaced with one that stated all the correct numbers at least.
[EVO 4G Accessories] flyingwolf:
And yet my local Best Buy has a wall of batteries for multiple different cell phones.

The other day I was in there and a joker had put up a hand written sign in a spot with no shelf for "iPhone batteries".

Again, no one said, "go in there and be the biggest **** you can and make a fuss and wave a gun around".

I said, go tell them the issue, ask for a replacement, if they balk be reasonable, if they continue, let them know that you have nothing but time and can submit this story to every consumerist and cell phone web site out there and they your happy to contact the AG and BBB in your state.

This should let them know that if they are still planning to be complete douches than you will be happy to cost them money.

Again, it has worked for me every time, but then again, I am diligent about following up.

I have met many big box store reps outside the courtroom and settled before taking them into court and forcing a situation. All I wanted in the beginning was fair compensation, now it cost them 10s of thousands of dollars to send a lawyer to talk to me.

Would have been much cheaper to correct an obvious mistake.
[EVO 4G Accessories] clayginn:
I know there are BB people on here but they are a joke. they are the king of Bait and switch or in others words "let me sell you this great insurance and then write in the fine print we will not fix anything until you pay us more". This is one company that needs to go out of business. All- never ever buy anything at BB. Just go out an look at the better business Bureau. You can find anything they have cheaper online or at other stores. If you do don't complain about it as you didn't do your research.

I am not saying that the people that work there are bad but they are trained to the companies plans, process, and equipment. This is designed to deceive customers and sell them inferior services that will in the end make them more money. I also won't say that they sell bad products as a whole (some they do so do your research) most products are good but they will stand behind them ever. If it is out of the in-store return policy good luck getting it fixed with out jumping up and down or paying extra.

Ok i am getting off my soap box but remember NEVER EVER BUY ANYTHING FROM BEST BUY!!!!

Do what I do and just use them to look at the item and then go and buy it somewhere else.:D
[EVO 4G Accessories] jackpearce:
I had BB insurance on a samsung instinct. I upgraded to the evo and bought the insurance for it from BB also. I had 2 instincts replaced, no questions asked. After month I brought the evo back due to GPS issues. They told me they would have to send the phone back to htc for repair. After setting up a loaner phone, I was then given a bill got $150 for the loaner. They told me I would be refunded the deposit when i returned the other phone. Lol. I asked for a deposit of $200 got my evo, which was worth way more than the phone they are giving me.

Well, I didn't get my deposit, they didn't get theirs and I had to self diagnose my GPS problems with the help of xda. I don't know why I even continue to pay then for insurance.
[EVO 4G Accessories] clayginn:
Like I said NEVER EVER BUY ANYTHING FROM BEST BUY. The quicker this company goes out of business the quicker the good people can get better jobs and this companies methods go away. :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] captivate:
Best Buy use to be good. Their entire customer service has taken a spin for the worst lately though..
[EVO 4G Accessories] flyingwolf:
Best Buy is a business, they are neither good nor bad, they exist to make a profit for the shareholders.

Sometimes the quest to make the profits results in completely off the wall policies like we see at Best Buy.

The only way to fix that is to vote with your dollar, stop buying from them and let the shareholders know why, as profits go down due to these policies the shareholders will quickly make sure the policies are changed.

Again, the OP just needs to go there with facts, escalate as needed and make sure to follow up.

As long as he sticks to facts and figures only and none of the "I feel this or that way" speeches he should be fine.
[EVO 4G Accessories] skilledone:
I used to work for bestbuy, well the geeksquad for 3 years. I can tell you any time you purchase a warranty for anything...your product will NOT be replaced unless it's a PRP which is on cheap items like an ipod shuffle or nano. Anyways, any item that you purchase a PSP for you'll get a cheap knock off battery or power adapter as a replacement. If they tell you we'll replace it, they're lying, ALMOST ANY PRODUCT WITH A PSP HAS TO BE SENT OUT MINIMUM OF 2 WEEK TURNAROUND. Also, if you ever do get your product replaced by the insurance plan I would argue full monetary value on the store credit they'll be giving you, otherwise they'll pull a rogue tactic and say "this item is comparable" so they can give you a lower end camera or laptop.

Don't listen to their sale snake tactics...the managers always preach about hitting "PSP % numbers" for the day. The sales associates don't get any benefits for selling you insurance, yet they sell it to you like they're getting a happy meal + 10%, they'll tell you anything to get you to purchase the insurance plan. Managers get bonuses when they hit PSP #'s and when you sign up for the store credit card, it all hits the bottom line (referred to as NOP dollars). The managers only care about bonuses and most are under 30 years old.

I can't tell you how many times I've dealt with customers because they were told "everything is covered" when it's most likely NEVER covered. I was always that good guy when asked a question if something was worth it, I would remind people of Amazon and Newegg because I'm fair and don't like seeing people get ripped off at Bestbuy.

I still laugh when I read this...
[EVO 4G Accessories] snowglyder:
This is my first time buying a phone from BB, and I guess I fell for the "covers anything" bit and bought the insurance. Reading this thread isn't reassuring so I'd rather cancel now than be out the money and not be able to get good service. What's the best way to cancel the insurance?

[EVO 4G Accessories] sanjsrik:
I was seriously thinking the same thing.

"better" and best buy do not belong in the same sentence. Perhaps they can come over, kick your dog, have sex with your wife, and eat all your lunchmeat while they're at it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] skilledone:
1-888-BESTBUY and cancel the insurance
[EVO 4G Accessories] snowglyder:
Done. Thanks! I'll take my chances with the standard warranty covering the phone. Better than paying into something and getting screwed when I need it. Thanks for all the posted experiences. Prob saved me tons of money and hassle. I was doubting the need for insurance anyways since Im eligible for upgrade every year.

i still laugh at all the people saying " just dont shop at best buy" like it will really help......how many people have been screwed by ebay over the years and they are still kicking and dont even get me started on wal-mart and their terrib le service. at least best buy has a person you can gripe to and actually report if they refuse to help you or act an ass with you! you complain now but wait till all stores are wal-marts of the future with nobody working there with any kind of product knowledge.

best buy is not a place for technical people, best buy is made for people who actuall NEED help buying electronics when their so-called IT friends are too busy to go out in public and help them. if you really wanna help people dont tell them not to shop there, take your ass in the store with them and HELP them not get screwed by "worst buy" as you call it.

for those wondering, yes i do work there and people come in everyday and want to play...let's stump the geek squad! its stupid people. thats why we are a team. nobody knows it all and we some of us try to actually help customers but its hard with your snyde remarks on the side.you tell people who have no technical knowledge not to buy protection but when their stuff breaks and they call you, you charge just as much as we do!! so are you really helping??

sory bout that rant i didnt mean anything personal lol but its true. like everyone else said dont be a douchebag it gets you nowhere. just have proof of what you say and nobody can debate you. besides everyone in the store is a peon anyway...lol leave us the hell alone and let us help people who actually need us :)
