[XPERIA X10 General] tase25:
Yeah, they are the worst.

Update: On Friday, March 11, a rep from Flextronics called me, same guy who I spoke to previously. He actually said "I recognized your voice so I don't need to speak to you."

Before he said goodbye I demanded to know where my phone was bc he promised I'd have it on Thur, March 10.

His reply was, oh well, if you don't receive it by Monday, call us back. WTF?

Any way, I finally got my phone back UNFIXED.

Long story short:

- Sony Ericsson and Flextronics' customer service sucks

- almost 7 weeks without my X10a, only to get it back UNFIXED
[XPERIA X10 General] tase25:
They quoted me $108 to fix the screen, so a lot cheaper than $185. But, I refused out of frustration and principle. I bet even if they had fixed the screen and speaker, I'd still have speaker problems.

Good job on your self-repair btw. I would be too nervous to take any tools to my phones. Bad experience in the past. lol
[XPERIA X10 General] Darth Glacious:
Looks like SE approved service centers are the same, no matter the country. I sent mine 2 times already because of issues related to the USB connector in the phone (not charging and not having stable USB connection via cable). Got it back 2 times fixed partially, now it charges but the connections still is worthless.

So my sympathy goes to you :)
[XPERIA X10 General] shane_tactical1:
Dont Buy a Sony Erisson! 35 weeks in repair only to be returned unfixed

I had the same issue Tase.

Im still very annoyed. Im reporting them to the better business bureau as their service is beyond a joke.

I got two X10s. One for my gf and one for me. Her USB port died after a few months so it went back for repair and they swapped it for a reconditioned model.

Mine died after about 9 months went back and got swapped for a reconditioned model which i wasn't really thrilled about. Weeks later my reconditioned model failed. The phone started just turning itself off and dropping calls until finally it wouldn't even come back on.

I work in my home office and my phone is either in my pocket or on my desk so nothing has ever happened to it plus i had it in the plastic protective bumper case as well.

I sent this phone back in April! I waited for a few weeks and kept getting the run around so in the end i said forget it and went and changed phone providers and got a Samsung Galaxy SG2. I didnt want to pay Rogers $50 to use some old piece of crap when i had paid for a Smart phone.

Anyway i still continued to contact them trying to get an idea when it was coming back. I got told the same as you. "Its been escalated" etc.

Another time the guy said he had no idea why it was taking so long and didnt have any idea where the phone was or what was happening. He promised me a call which i never received. I didnt experience any rudeness but every time i waited on hold for ages and was occasionally cut off whilst on hold.

I finally got the phone back this week unfixed! That's what? About 35 WEEKS?!!!!!!

Absolutely ridiculous! How does it take 35 weeks to do that?

Their excuse is that the USB port is broken and they have said this is physical damage and its not covered.

They must have baboons running the place!

I did not break it, the usb is just crap because they cheaped out and is a known problem with the phone. That wasnt the issue anyways. It wont turn on! I can put a fully charged battery in it and it still does not turn on!

The repair centre are a joke. I should have known better. We had two C510a's before this and when they both broke at exactly the same time (due to needing a system update!) and were both sent back mine was sent back unrepaired stating liquid damage when the thing has never been anywhere near liquid. I fixed it myself in 2mins using the proper update software not the pre bundled crap the phone comes with.
[XPERIA X10 General] silveraero:
I don't know but they works fine in my country. Bring it and they will replace mainboard or even a phone for you :D such as can't charge... :D. However, I think the reason is the Flextronic. Also, you should check the phone before buy it from another guy. There must be something wrong so he sells it. And you have to check carefully.
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
They are pretty renowned for their poor customer service. Check the arc forum to see what I'm talking about
[XPERIA X10 General] maddes1402:
I had similar experiences with Samsung. It can take ages before you get your phone back. Besides, the people in the service centers have no idea what they are talking about.

Just an example. Here they quote that the Galaxy Nexus is a Google device and when you have questions you should contact.......MICROSOFT.......:p:p

Microsoft would be the owner of the OS and responsible for firmware updates :rolleyes:

[XPERIA X10 General] Rockjock007:
I have had 0 issues with flextronics, but I am often in Newmarket and I just drop in and ask them the progress .. they are not able to hang up if you are standing right there. Was this a x10a or the x10i?
[XPERIA X10 General] deveron3:
Ah ah ah, not so fast. I have gotten my x10 replaced free of charge not once, but twice for motherboard related problems in the US. I was under warranty and they respected that. After sending number one in for repair they told me that they would rather replace the device as opposed to reparing the damaged one. They sent me a brand new x10. This lasted about a month before it too began to experience random massive overheating, reboots and eventual failure to charge, boot or respond to any input whatsoever. Say what you want, but I have two x10s and a fully charged battery from the one that never had to be replaced didn't work in the damaged phone either. Anyway I called se up again. Of course I was still under warranty, so they replaced it again. This time I got a device that performs admirably, taking the highest overclocks I can throw at it with custom kernels.

This experience has not impressed me with the general build quality of the x10, but it showed me that at least some reps from se are interested in customer satisfaction.

Then again, maybe they outsourced to some of willy wonka's oompa loompa's! ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] bouncynemoss:
Companies almost never hold up their side of the warranty sadly =(. I actually find apple to be one of the better places for customer service :eek:. Anyhow i usually just contact Better business bureau if they don't do what they say they'll do. They sort things out for you :D. One of my friends said just threatening to use BBB works too lol.
[XPERIA X10 General] shane_tactical1:
Update

Hi guys. Just a note to stick in there if they wont repair your phone or swap it.

I sent a number of complaints to Sony and asked for a detailed explanation of why it took 6 months to send back my phone unrepaired.

I also asked why i was sent a refurbished model after the 1st time it failed when there are known problems with the usb port and why they tried to blame this problem on me and refused to fix it.

They escalated my problem to Sony Ericsson's Corporate office in Canada and have now just sent me a form today to send my phone back to be swapped after telling me that they wouldn't replace it.

i had a nexus one that i rooted, and i was able to get 3g service without paying the $30 by messing around with the apn settings. im part of a family plan which gives me the minimal $5.99 plan. I know that because the g2 is a branded phone, that messing with the apn settings wont work, but if i root it, can i get 3g or 4g services with the altered apn settings?

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] -Apollo-:
No Problem, if the widget is too dark for you I have a lighter version, just let me know. I usually push because I like it to be in /system/app. I'm pretty sure it will install using file manager of some sort but will end up installing in /data/app which can be a problem for some themed apps because they will try to update automatically and you will have to re-theme. Either way should work though!
[Epic 4G General] scourgedirge:
I realize thatthis may not be the ideal thread location, but I am not allowed to post in the developer forum yet.

I upgraded from Bonsai 3.0.0 (which had a few FC issues on my phone) to Bonsai 3.0.1, which is giving me FC's at least once a minute. The FC happen mainly with Swype, messaging, and several google services that I havnt made a list of just yet. The worst... opening an email in Gmail App causes a FC.

I have reflashed, redownloaded the zip, and rebooted... all multiple times. Anyone share my experience or know of other possible solutions?
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
Clear your data.
[Epic 4G General] abrcrmdl23:
Yeah I have been having that same problem I have cleared everything and it doesn't happen that often but it is definetly annoying it is a shame too cause this is a great rom
[Epic 4G General] scourgedirge:
3.0.1 fix!

Data wipe worked! I was afraid to do so since the Bonsai install instructions said not to do it. I suggest this be mentioned int he 3.0.1 thread.

Apparently there were some leftovers from 3.0.0.. until the data wipe, I had not seen the bonsai wallpaper or the ROM's launcher.

Possible causes? I dont know, but I had installed TWLauncher over 3.0.0's and had installed a wallpaper from gallery.
[Epic 4G General] scourgedirge:
PS - thanks for giving me the motivation... apparently I should quit reading instructions. :)

Flashed fine with Phoenix 7.0 but when I tried with Ultimate it boot loops me?! Any ideas?!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] 41LY45:
It actually boot looped the first time i tried it. :o

Successful with a fresh flash though. :D

Anyways, bug reports.

The phone options menu, when you long press the power button.

It shows "false" for reboot, recovery and unmount SD card options.

The battery stats percentage color does not go well with the battery color. Can't see the numbers.

All in all, the animations RULEZ!!!! :D:D:D

now , have two ROM 2.1 and 2.2

I tested 2.1 wifi is ok , 2.2 wifi cant work at my phone

and

2.1 rom sd cant work ,2.2 isnt test, someone is OK
[HD Mini General] sunnyhj:
Hi..

I tested wifi on 2.1 and 2.2...wifi works in both the cases i got some errors while installing wifi fix on 2.2 at first....does the fix gets completed without an error ??

SD card doesn't work for both 2.1 and 2.2 in my case...:(
[HD Mini General] derefas:
all works in all version of android, i'll upload my new release with full android in some days
[HD Mini General] codiak:
Its not working for everyone. SD Card ist OK, but Wifi dont work me in 2.2. but in 2.1!

Did several testes yesterday. With no luck. I even installed a system.ext2 from another person who said that it is working.

I am using the right zImage and module. Very strange...
[HD Mini General] sunnyhj:
can someone with working SD CARD tell me which formatting method are they using..??

I used fat32 with default allocation settings..maybe the cluster size matters in this thing..
[HD Mini General] tzacapaca:
@codiak i'm agree,it's very strange..

@ OP you shouldn't open one more thread about this...i think we are enough confused about wi-fi and sd card(for some works for some doesn't)

there are 2 more threads with same questions,we will just get lost and not organized..
[HD Mini General] codiak:
Also using fat32 with default cluster size and it works for me.

I think if android boots with your card then the card is not the problem.
[HD Mini General] sunnyhj:
THankzz....plz do so...it will solve A LOT of problems of every user using android on Mini as only you and a few other have a 2.2 working both sdcard and wifi..
[HD Mini General] codiak:
I am not a pessimist, but I do not think it will work. I tried tzacapacas working image yesterday with no luck on my phone...
[HD Mini General] sunnyhj:
But if card is not a problem then what is...?? :confused:

your wifi is not working and my sd card is not working..:mad: we all have the same files...i think it might be some settings or something that are conflicting with each other...i hope so :rolleyes: cause i really don't wanna buy another Sd card...i have 4 already..!!:(
[HD Mini General] yakamoz:
Guys, maybe we could try to run Android from the device space. Someone could cook a minimal Windows ROM, then we could remove most programmes from the system.ext2 so we that it fits into the device space... ?
[HD Mini General] codiak:
I dont think that it is that easy. But I also had the bootloader (haret) in mind...

I have seen that nsourm made a multiboot rom. Can someone try that?

Of me in the Android 2.2 once, and the SD works, and WiFi haven't tested yet.

And Only I See on my SD Card written (microSD) and it's 8GB.

And it's tooo slow! its needs 33 minutes (first time 2.3 Hours) to load Android and the Android is working too slow!

Which brand and 8GB SD Card is exactly good and haven't any problem?

Did anyone access phone to pc? in android (transfer files)?

Thanks :cool:
[HD Mini General] cardsharing:
If you have slow sd card moybe is corypted or not proper formated! Try formating your sd card with this http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/index.html software and after this, use windows and format your card to fat32
[HD Mini General] iPlasm:
Thank you very much for answer CardSharing! :)

I will test it and answer you soon! :D
[HD Mini General] iPlasm:
Sorry CardSharing. (but thanks for your answer)

I tried all of these by using yours Formatter. Tried the Over Written also! but it's same tried the phone's formatter, but also same. (formatted with FAT32 ofcurse)

I don't see the SD Card slow, for any transferring it's quite nothing problem!

only just this is strange when I tap on HaRET will progress and after that about 2.3 hours (not minute) turns into black then show white background and then HTC logo quietly brilliant.

and it's coming and running too slow! and next, next into android background and I can call phone. all things too slow, for ex: tapping on phone takes 47 sec then I type numbers and call phone.

I wish if I know the problem exactly. I also changed my WinMo ROM to a much for knowing issues of WinMo, and all of them were same!

Any idea?
[HD Mini General] cardsharing:
Maybe you have hardware fault in phone or maybe spl problem, or maybe sd card problem. Did you tried gold card full rom update (spl, radio, rom...etc)? What brand is your phone?
[HD Mini General] spithash:
:D

Guys i am happy now.I make the wi-fi + sd card work!

Just one question for you: Can anyone of you can download from market cuz i can't.It stucks in downloading... :/
[HD Mini General] sunnyhj:
No, me neither...there are many bugs in the OS and it will take quite a bit of effort from every Dev to remove these bugs..it will take time but i have faith in Devs :)
[HD Mini General] iPlasm:
I said exactly I have updated my ROM and tried many ROMs and used spl, roms, etc.., and all of them were same! and of curse my Phone is HTC HD Mini (the phone is italy),

I don't think my phone has any fault! I bought it new (3 months)

And the SD Card is written [microSD] and it's 8GB,

idea?
[HD Mini General] tzacapaca:
hey dude;)

try to replace the card,slow loading android is because of card read/write speed

what brand and class is your card?
[HD Mini General] iPlasm:
Oh, :) thanks for answer tzacapaca. Well my SD Card written [microSD] and it's 8GB.

And transferring needs for example 30MB need 11 seconds.

I want just know the problem why android too slow!

note: I did everything like reformatting sd by both pc tools, updated WinMo roms, etc, and transferred fresh android, etc all was same!, android runs but too slow!
[HD Mini General] tzacapaca:
well........no brand=sh|t card

sorry

get a sandisk card man;) ..class 4 if u can afford
[HD Mini General] iPlasm:
well, no problem. just tell what is meaning (Class 4)?

& So?... the Sandisk's microSD cards is the best one? and you think the problem my SD? right? :D

mine is just written (microSD) white color and background black, but I don't know which company made it.

is there something that how can I know the brand of my SD card? :cool:
[HD Mini General] tzacapaca:
1. Class 4, 4 MB/s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#Speed_Class_Rating

2.yes they are the best:) ,class 4 16 GB is pretty hard to find,but u can get sandisk mobile ultra 16 Gb for around 30 pounds from amazon,this is the one i will get too;)

3.of course the card is the problem,Android runs from sd card,so....slow sd card=slow android

4.if it's not showing any company name then is no brand,and it doesnt have any speed class guaranteed read/write speed

no,if its not written you cant know brand ,but i assure u it's little chinese hand made :))))

p.s. BE CAREFUL when you buy the card!

[HD Mini General] JAntrobus:
No, I dont think this will be the final one. He needs us to test to make sure everything that's been done so far, is working. Otherwise he will need to continue working on that until it is; otherwise if he begins to fix the other problems without getting these working first. And then they break again, it can then cause even more headaches.

It takes alot of time to code, and I would love to help however my linux/windows (dual boot) Machine is broke and I only have a slow laptop. Hope the coding is going well CardSharing, and good work so far!

how to get wifi to work?

After a week of holiday I was happy to see the progress! I tried the post of cardsharing, SD card works immediately, but wifi does not switch on. When switching on, the wifi adapter is in white letters on black and the box is not ticked. When I click it, it turns to gray letters on black, but the tick remains off.

Even with static IP it does not work. Am I missing something?

I have a class 4 8gb card from adata, that works fine up to now but I guess this is only relevant for the SD card issues. Also, the camera shows images upside down. Did not see that reported but I haven't read all messages yet.

thumbs up!

Dropbox would be my advice also

I currently use dropbox on my phone and when I get a xoom next month I'll be using that also.

Also evernote for your documents.

I also use keepass for my passwords and store the password file in a private folder on dropbox so I can access my passwords from any location.
