Brand New phone with a lot of defects :

***I bought this phone on 9 July 2011
Used for nearly 6 days only and then found about 8 different technical issues in the phone as listed below...

1- Calls get dropped every 4-6 seconds.
2- As days went-by there was no audio, no sound and finally no ringtone to know when the call comes-in.
3- Any wireless funtionality will not work. Like Internet or Wi-fi and the best part was Bluetooth as well.
4- The SD card gets locked-up frequently.
5- I found that the battery was draining very quickly. I charge it up for 2hrs but it drains down within 3hrs.
6- The screen hangs every now and then. (Very frequently)
7- Forgot the issue as its been a long time.
8- Forgot the issue as its been a long time.


Giving it to the service centre (Not a Good Idea) :

Had no idea what to do, so called up customer care and they asked me to contact service centre so I did and after reporting all these issues they said that I cannot avail the door-step pick-up facility when it was clearly informed by the sales person in CROMA store and the agent who I spoke to in the call centre confirmed that I can avail this facility so he denied and said that it will take about 2 to 3 weeks to get back the phone. I decided to deal with it later and kept the phone as it was, in my Computer draw and bought a new Nokia phone as no-human can possibly deal with all these issues in the phone and give it to service centre at the same time and be without a phone. So after I bought the Nokia phone, called up my friend who is a techie to have a look and get suggestion from him. He simply said that "THE INVESTMENT IS A WASTE OF TIME ON A CRAPPY PHONE LIKE THIS" give it to the service centre and thats the only option and they have to change the part which is responsible for wireless connectivity in the phone. So I finally gave the phone to the service centre on 01 feb 2012 after hours of fight over the phone to get the pick-up facility on January 2012.

They had the phone and they raised some issues with the bill that it is not acceptable for warranty and then I went to the CROMA store and got another copy of the bill to shut their mouth. The funny part is that they checked the bill and then the person took the phone with him and after a week I called to check the status and they coolly say that the bill I showed was un-acceptable. My question is that if the bill was un-acceptable why did the guy take my phone and why did'nt he inform me then and there or they could have atleast called the next day or so to inform me about the bill issue. They were waiting for me to call them and until then the phone was used by somebody else who works in the service centre.


After all this, the phone was with them and there was no update on the phone or anything I was simply calling the customer care and they were not really helpful and one day I got pissed-off and yelled at the call centre executive and then he transferrred the call to his manager who in-turn called-up VIMAL KUMAR (Regional Head Chennai) and he again called up the service centre and blasted them over the phone and they gave back the phone the very next day changing the motherboard of the phone.


After the Service Experience :

After I got back the phone on 16 Feb 2012 that is after 16 days in the service centre I wanted to check if everything was working fine with it. Some of the issues were really resolved but some of them are still there inspite of my repetitions.
So I happened to call the customer care almost everyday to check with some of the options and their functionality of it.
But then I realised that the phone support was a BIG SCAM... As there was no soul in the company who can actually help a customer with a technical question. All they know is FACTORY DATA RESET and/or GOTO SERVICE CENTRE and nothing else. At this stage I am better than these egg-hatching . Also 2 things to be noted in here is that THEY WILL DISCONNECT YOUR CALL when you say that you are not happy with the predefined answer (FACTORY DATA RESET and/or GOTO SERVICE CENTRE) or ask for a supervisor or you inform that you are recording this call, they simply disconnect the call.

2nd thing is that the managers promise you something like a call-back to follow-up with the issue and then you wait for them to call back but you end up only waiting and no callbacks. SO when you call them and check what happened to the last call, I get a response saying that there is no such manager working in the company now and everytime its a different story.

Now finally the point is that I am now fed-up with all this run around, I would have spent atleast Rs,4,000 running around and making calls and most importantly wasting a lot of my time on this.

I just cant believe or digest the fact that I actually wasted a lot of my time and resource on this so I would like to get the money back so that I can invest on a good phone and get compensated for all this.





Issues still on this so-called SMART HI-FI Android phone even after getting it back from the service centre after replacing Motherboard :

i) How to control data and monitor data usage in Android. - "APN on off" application available in Android Market (As suggested by the technical team of Motorola) But it is not for this phone at all.


(A false claim by Motorola)
ii) Camera Clarity and Resolution : 5MP picture size but it is not stored as a 5MP resolution picture rather compresses the size of the picture which in-turn degrades the quality of the picture. So technically it is not a 5MP Camera.

iii) How to backup contacts? (The Google Sync does not work for backup)


(Wonderful Security for a Hi-End phone provided by Motorola)
iv) Location Reporting if the phone is lost. (Which is available in a phone that costs just Rs.3000 but not in this so-called hi-fi phone and no answer from MOTO support)


(Best of All, No Bluetooth in this phone.)
v) Bluetooth is not at all present in this phone but the official website says that it has Bluetooth - MOTO Technical team's response for this is that "TECHNICALLY THERE IS NO BLUETOOTH IN THE PHONE" there is an App to make bluetooth work on this phone. The Question is that how come they advertise that bluetooth is available on this phone when it is completely dependant on a third party application developed by an individual and not a company and this puts our privacy on risk as we're forced to install a third party application developed by an individual.

vi) With regards to the same Bluetooth there is a completely new issue with it. While using bluetooth 2 issues,

One is that this phone is not or cannot be discovered by any other handset or laptop at all.

Two is that I cannot receive a file or anything from another phone or any other device, but I have to get access to their entire file-system and download it from my phone all this happens via bluetooth using my phone. Which simply means to say that I have to invade privacy of every other person from whom I want the file to be transferred.
To make it understandable I have to search their phone with bluetooth-search and ask them to give access for data transfer and then I have to browse through their folders and files and select the one I need and download. This also means to say that this phone does not allow the "Object-Push Technology" used in Bluetooth for file transfer which is the sole purpose of Bluetooth's very existence.

vi) Call Recording? - "Call Recorder" application available in Android Market (As suggested by the technical team of Motorola) But it is not for this phone at all.

(POsition of this phone in Android Market)
vii) Using this phone I am unable to sign-in to Android Market so sign-in issues to download apps - Response from Motorola Technical team is that I have to goto the service centre for sign-in issues. But days and months of my personal research on this phone and Android Markets simply says that this phone is not supported by Android Market and hence I am unable to Login.
If MOTO support agents are not helping customers in any ways why are these employed, simply "For Hatching Eggs"?

There was one funny incident where the agent said that "Apart from the issues that you have with certain features I hope all the other features are working fine"

What other features does it have to get damaged? On top of it when the basic functions and related features does not work what is the point in having a so-called phone, its nothing more than a toy now.

Now again in May 2012 I got back all the issues again mentioned earlier, so people do not ever get into this scam...

Its simply a Scam than seling phones and service...

Hail Consumerism.

Will Fight and Seek for Justice till the End.

Regional Head number :[protected] never works.

Respected Sir,

I had a problem with my cell phone with regards to the non-functionality of the power button , however after enquiring with the Motorola Customer support i was advised to hand over the cell phone with the service center by name FineFone Solutions located at the Jayanagar.And I had handed over the cell phone with them on Feb 27th 2012 and after initial round of investigation i got a call back saying it needs a replacement of a component which would charge me Rs 2800 which i agreed upon for the replacement.

After after 40-45 days after constant calling the service center one saturday i was told that my phone is ready and asked me to collect in the evening of the same saturday which i failed because of my commitments and went the immediate wednesday so before going there i decided to give them a call back and to my understanding they say that my phone has a touch screen problem now and that would cost me another 3k which i found to be a fraud, that's when i decided to take back my cell phone and escalate it with the customer care department.

I did had a case filed with the customer care [Incident # :[protected]] on April 11th and i was put across to the escalation department and was handled by Ms. Shipra when she took over the responsibility and asked me to return the cell phone to the FineFone service center again and she would get it done within a weeks time and i have done the same with the work order # being 443 on April 14th 2012.

After no one taking responsibility i decided to give them calls and keep my self posted and on April 24th i receive a call saying my cell phone would be ready on April 30th and i was supposed to go and collect the same on that day since i was out of station i didn't managed to do that but on my return i decided to call the customer care and enquire about the phone they now say its not ready because i was not ready to make the payment of 5k+ , after explaining the entire context they still tell me the same old story.

Since i found a fraud of 3k extra on my touch screen i filed complained with customer care i really want this to be addressed and the customer support was one of the most irresponsible one i have seen in ages together.

Kindly provide me justice.

Thanks
Sandesh

Hi, I've purchased Motorola EX119 Mobile on 9th October, 2011 at Sangeetha Mobiles, Bangalore .But within a span of 3 months, my mobile started giving trouble. EX119 is a touch as well as a Qwerty Mobile. Towards the ending of January, the touch was not working. The first half of the screen's touch was not working due to which I was unable to unlock my phone, Each time i receive a New Message or get a Missed call, I have to shut down my Mobile, restart it and check the New Message or the Missed call. Even if i need to make a New Call, i have to do it before the screen gets locked. Once it gets locked, I'm unable to unlock it as the Touch is not working. I've given it to repair on the 7th of February, 2012 to Fine One Solutions to Mr. Kailash ([protected]) regarding the same issue. They have informed us that it's a 2 days work and that they'll repair and give us back the mobile within 2 days. But the 2 days have prolonged to weeks.Upon getting vexed, we informed that we didn't wanted that mobile and that we'll take a New Mobile in place of it from the same shop.Then immediately within 2 days, they've got the mobile claiming that it's been repaired and is perfectly fine. The mobile was given back to us on the 23rd of February, 2012. But within 2 days the same problem has started all over again.On 26th February, 2012, I've called up to that person who has repaired my phone and informed him about the same. He said, he'll call the next day. But, till date, i.e., 11th March, 2012, I've not received any call from him. Now i don't want this mobile but instead want a replacement.

With Regards,
Jyothsna.

I ordered a Motorola Xoom against Order ID LSB-853873 on 16 Feb 2012. The company reps call me up today on 26th Feb 2012 saying Motorola has discontinued the product. I don't find any such announcement from Motorola. LetsBuy is surely lying. I need to take legal action in this case as their delay has disallowed me to try and purchase the product from other web sites where it was available till upto 3-4 days back. Please help me in this regard.They dont believe in upholding their commitments. Bad shopping experience. Strongly not recommended for any one. [protected]@hotmail.com

I have bought a Motorola Defy from Reliance digital in october 2011. The handset is defective piece(also admitted by service center) as the contacts are getting merged, blue tooth is extremely slow and it hangs more than an often. I have submitted the handset in pune motorola service centre near JM road. I have also lodged a request at the customer care office but not getting any response.

It has been almost a month sine i have raised the request of handset replacement but still not getting any response.

Being a manager and working in Accenture in Pune, I am facing lots of problem without the phone as i am unable to check my mails on mobile.

Please get this issue resolved as soon as possible or I have to take legal action against the company.

I purchased a Motorola Defy plus mobile from timtara,com on 26th Dec 2011 . After my payment was done the status of order was shown as AWAITING FULFILLMENT . Then after contacting them they asked me to send the Bank Statement copy as proof of payment & send the Copy . Then the Status changed to PAYMENT received . After two days i contacted them & then the status shown after that is " WAITING FOR SHIPMENT " , which is shown for the last 10 days with no updates . On there site the are telling the shipping time is 8-10 days but even after 18 days my item has not been delivered .
So Plz either help me to get the item delivered or Help me to get refund

Thank You

Phone was bought on 2nd jan since then it has frozen for number of times. phone was submitted to service centre for same issue and DOA was to be issued as per service centre technician. However after continuous call for 6 days motorola has today given update stating DOA cannot be given to this phone. No service provided. I bought this phone for 34k and without even using it fully had to repair it so many times.. WOW... brilliant service!! Should really kick such companies out of India... Service centre staff are not even trained to answer properly. They give you numbers to contact their staff.. how sad... Sadly 2nd razr and such a big failure

Never buy Mororola.

I brought a new Motorola EX-119 hand set in SEP 2011. The handset display started getting a problem in November 2011. I gave it to a Motorola service station on 19 December 2011. I was assured that i will get my handset within one week. After one week they said they have put the order of a part and awaiting a part. Meanwhile i called the customer care number, they said they have no update and asked me to call after 2-3 days.

Till now i have called the customer care 3 times still they don't have any update, customer care is telling that service department not responding. It's such a pathetic state of affair with this MNC, no body is aware what is happening. They cant stay on there committed words, no body seems bothered.

No wonder why Motorola is doing poor in India. Its now 3 weeks i am without any handset awaiting for some response from Motorola.

The Motorola customer care complaint no is[protected].

to,
motorola company

I purchased 2 nos.Motorola BT 50 battery on 31/01/2011 from TECHNIQUE SERVICES, 84A, Central Avenue, Kolkata-700012.( Phone no:[protected] and Mob. no.:[protected]. Being a new battery, it cannot hold charge for the complete day and both the battery are same. I complained to the service centre and they replaced one no. in March 2011. It is also old and used battery since the shape has already been deformed. I presume that this service centre is not genuin and they are cheating the consumer on behalf of MOTOROLA COMPANY. This Technique Services should be banned immediately by MOTOROLA.
