I had got the Joy stick of my Sony-Ericsson K750i repaired from a Sony-Ericsson service center in Gurgaon, but after 2 days of that the phone display went white, and when I took the phone back to the service center the manager refused to handle the phone he said that the phone may have got damaged due to the software getting corrupted or some problem in the main board of the phone, how ever he confirmed that the Cap of the Joystick was not fixed properly. The cold response from the the Store manager made me write to the Sony-Ericsson customer service mail id, how ever I did not get any response from them.

BAD EXPERIENCE WITH SONI ERICSSON

I have purchase problem from Soni Ericsson name W300i Mobile in Nov-2007. It has occurred a minor complaint of connectivity with computer. That’s ok it will be cleared by the Solara International Limited , SCO-206,207, Sec-34-A, Chandigarh. 2nd time after 10 days from the rectification of first complaint the display system is totally off of the set. On 29.12.2007 I submit the set in Solara International Limited , SCO-206,207, Sec-34-A, Chandigarh.under complaint ID (SES07CHD33233) in the name of Mr. Deepak Rana.In the complaint sheet under the head Problem Description the engineer has remarked DEAD SET. From 29th dec.07 to 14th jan.08, there is no progress in this complaint. Several time I contact to Customer Care Chandigarh 0172-2622850 (www.salora.com) and also in Delhi no.011-39011111 but there is no positive response I have get till now from Soni Ericsson. From 29th Dec. 2007 to 15th Jan. 2008, my communication is totally disturbed due to soni ericsson. I have face problem in the set more than two time from the date of purchase of the set . If the set is declared DED SET (More than 80% cost occurred to repair the set) by the engineer than what is the problem with Soni Ericsson to change the set and give the new set to customer. Now I just want to know from Soni Ericsson that what I will do.

I tried afterwards but it's not working, I have given it to your authorized service center ( Synergy Service ) on 18/02/2008, till now i did not receive back they are telling their is no stock. I can't believe why it happened, pls give me a reply as soon as possible

Hello Sir/Madam,
I bought SE P1i on 24th Feb 2008 from a well known dealer UNIVERCELL (Avadi, Chennai branch) .The handsfree given along with the handset is a faulty one.The left ear piece have distortions while listening to music.Why a product from a world class company such as Sony Ericsson do get such problems within just 20 days from purchase?Who should be held responsible for such issues?

With my faulty handsfree I went to a SE authorized service center ( SHYAM ELECTRONICS, Ambattur, Chennai).The so called service professionals over there do not even have the basic courtesy of dealing with a customer politely.
When I enquired when will I get my new handfree, the response was a pre-determined statement " We currently dont have stocks, You need to wait for another 15 days ".I mentioned it as a pre-determined statement because I heard the reception representative telling the same statement to all of the customers who came there and also to them who enquired over phone.
Unless they go and inform concerned authorities, how will they get the stock? If the Service Center doesn't have the stock, who is responsible for getting the stock ?Is this a customer's job to inform the concerned department and get the things under the roof?

Till date, I didn't receive the replaced handsfree and will wait for another 5 days, as mentioned by the signing authority (Mr.Venkatesh) at Shyam Electronics.

Note : Iam preparing to file a legal suit against Mr.Venkatesh(Signing Authority), Shyam Electronics, Ambattur Chennai and also against Sony Ericsson in consumer court.I will be taking it further legally from here on.Its just the final call.

My details are :

Product Details :

Model number : HPM-61/61 Handsfree

Now my general concerns are :

1) Do Sony Ericsson take the responsibilty of all accessories given along with the SE handset at the time of purchase ?
2) Do all accessories and handsets go through QUALITY CHECKS ?
3) If yes, then why more than 90 % of SE customers have problem with their SE products, that too in their warranty period itself ?

" Nothing can be perfect " I do agree with that but then we have got something like " WARRANTY PERIOD " .

Why do we have that and who is responsible for making sure that customers do get the best service atleast during the warranty period, if they face any issue with the product they had bought with their hard earned money ?

Only opening many service centers in and around city is the responsibilty of Sony Ericsson management? Who is then responsible for making sure that customers do get best service out of them ? Who has to take initiative to resolve this problem ?

Being a Sony Ericsson customer, I need you to address the above concerns as soon as possible.

Hi,
I got SE S500i on 24th Feb 2008 and it started giving problem from 10th April.2008.
It has all kind of problem like
1. Phone is getting hanged at least once in 2 days for 10-15 min. then starts automatically.
2. Calls are getting dropped off in-between,
3. Memory card problems,
4. Keypad problems
5. Very poor battery backup
6. Now cell has switched off for forever...:)
Went to service station and now they said they will replace some body parts of handset but they won't give me complete replacement.

It's of very poor quality...we R spending 10K on it and it's not working only...I don't kw what kind of cell Sony Ericson is producing...plz don't buy at least this handset...n I suggest not to go for any SOny Ericson Hand set if we face this kind of problems in a 15 days of use. When they are pricing the things too high i.e. 10K and above they should be caseful about all these things.

Let's see what the replacement quality will be and if that's not up to the point I personally ask all SE customer's to move on some better options available in teh market that's the only option we have now.

Dear sir

Sub :- Bad Service

I am Sachin Sonawane, Working in Tata Consultancy Services . I am using Sony Ericsson mobile products.

I have submitted my Sony Ericsson k550i handset for repairing on 16th April ‘08 as the Handset is not working / got dead. When I visited the service center on 22nd April 08, they have detected “ motherboard ” problem. Then i asked when the handset will get repaired, they are told me that please come after one month. They are giving me really bad services. I tried to give my complaint in Sony Ericsson customer care no-39011111, they refused to register my complaint saying they are not concerned with these complaints. On requesting again they told that will look in to the matter and will call back in next 48 hrs but still I have not received any call from customer care.
When I again visited the service center after 5days they told that it will take 18 days more for the resolution.

Requesting you to plz look into this matter as nobody is properly responding to my problem.

Sir,
I purchased Sony ericsson w580i phone from chennai with one year warranty. But within 3 months i got display problem in my mobile(black lines on the screen). It day by day increased. I approached the Sony service station. They reason what they told is very shocking for me. They said due to water get inside the display got affected and this problem is out of warranty. In this hot summer the temperature is more than 100F. I argued with them. They told due sweat in hands the phone was affected. (I think we souls use the phone in Himalayas only). They are not at all willing to replace the display. They asked 2000 RS for repairing my mobile. I can give 100% assurance i never expose my mobile in wet area. They cheating the customers. When i was in the Sony service station three more w580 mobiles were come with the same problem. They repeatedly telling the same story to every one. If we got problem in key pad, charger etc kind of low price items only they changed. Otherwise they bluff like this only. I planned to book a legal act against the Sony errisson and my retail seller. I have proper bill, warranty without any use. These kind of response and problems only encouraging the grey market. Then what is the different between the authorized shops and gray market.
I never expect such a worst, cheating response from Sony

Sir,
I purchased a sony ericson mobile j120i just 3 months ago.It had a battery problem.I visited the sony ericson service centre on 07/05/2008.On 15/01/2008 i went to receive the phone and found that the same problem persisted.And it is also unable to catch the network.The service centre told me that it is due to my faulty sim card.Then i asked them to prove it by insert a other sim card.They forced to give back the handset .but the other customer also supported me.after inserting a other sim card, it did not work and they took my handset to repair.But they returned my battery, though it was faulty.

I bought a Sonyericsson P1i in Dubai Duty Free late September 07. A month later, in Kuwait where I work, the phone turned itself off. When I turned the unit back on it went in a loop of turning on, showing the SE logo, displaying the progress bar as if to complete the boot, and then turning itself off - it has been like that since.

I contacted the service center(Fono) in Dubai that was on the warranty. I was told that they cannot honor the warranty and that I should contact the place where I bought the unit.

I contacted the SE service center in Kuwait (Barrak) where they looked at it for a couple of hours then told me "to bring it back to dubai."

I went back to Dubai in December, 07 and contacted the Customer Service of the Dubai Airport Duty Free Shop - where I bought the unit. I showed the person at the counter the problem (booting on and off) - I was told that they will arrange for the unit to be sent to their service center. I went back to Kuwait.

In JAnuary, 2008, the Duty Free emailed to inform me that they couldn't do anything with the unit and attached to the email was a report from the service center saying that the motherboard of the unit is bent; and that the unit has been misused - and that I should collect the unit.

How could I have misused a brand new phone for its motherboard to bend? So I wrote back in protest.

They said that the SE service center in Kuwait might be responsible - and that I should have contacted the Duty Free first. But the warranty said that I shoud contact Fono - which I did. Who contacts the retailer for repair anyway?

A lot of pages of email later, I went back to Dubai in March and collected the unit.

So now, I have a Sony Ericsson P1i that's been used for only a month, that boots on and off and still under warranty (until Sept.2008). I have long since bought a Motorola Z6.

Lessons learned:

Do not buy a phone in Dubai Duty Free Shop. If I had gone home to Australia, it meant that I had to go back to Dubai to have it repaired. Also, what is the sense of issuing me a warranty card that was inaccurate? I will never shop there again.

Sony Ericsson's customer care service is appaling. The service centers in the Gulf are incompetent. I have two service centers pointing fingers at each other. By the way, I bought my first Sonyericsson phone in 2003, a T610. The same thing happened (booting on and off) but there was no problem fixing it in Australia. But because of this bad P1i experience, I will not buy another Sonyericsson phone again.

I am thinking of hiring a lawyer. What do you think? If there's anyone who could help please contact me.
