[Resolved]  Sony Ericsson / W205 Mobile — Given a falut piece

Recently I bought a W205 mobile at the mobile stores (on September 6th 2009). After 3 days I started facing problems of slow operations. I felt it might be a software problem. On Sep 23rd my mobile display turned white. I immediately contacted the customer care and was directed to a service center in Chennai. I informed the service center guys about the white display problem. They told me that it was a software problem and the phone required reinstallation of software.

They asked me to give the phone and collect it the next day. As I was aware that software re installation takes just ten minutes, I told them I would wait for some time and right away collect the mobile. But the service center guys informed that me that there was a power cut and asked me to collect it the next day. They prepared a job sheet for the mobile. The next day when I went to collect the mobile, they told me that the display is damaged. I was surprised. I asked them how that could have happened. They said that I might have dropped the mobile.

I told them that I had not dropped the mobile even once. Had the mobile been dropped there would been external damages, at least a scratch. But there was not even a single scratch or external damage to the mobile. Also, I asked them why they didn’t check the status of the mobile before preparing the job sheet. They started evading the questions.

I am really wondering how a mobile just 3 weeks old could have a software problem and a white display. Now to address the problem, the possibilities are either the mobile I got must be a defective piece or the service center must have been done unprofessional work. I kindly request you to look into this issue and get the problem resolved at the earliest.

Sony Ericsson — Evasion of Customer Care

I bought a Sony Ericsson W710i around 9 months ago, and the phone is still in warranty period. This is a flip style phone and has a unique rubber cover over it. Due to usage, the rubber layer recently came off. Since I was still in the warranty period, I decided to approach the service center to get the rubber layer replaced.

I approached the center at Indira Nagar, Adyar and explained the simple replacement that was needed. Knowing that it was a warranty issue, the staff replied saying that Sony Ericsson would replace the entire top panel of the phone. I was surprised because this was not even an issue with the internal system of the phone and merely a superficial replacement and why do they need to replace the entire top panel!

And I having said that I would be going out of town the next day, he said it will take 1-2 weeks at least! All to replace a simple rubber layer over the top cover of the phone..

I wrote an email more than 5 days back to the Sony Ericsson people and yet to receive a reply from them.

My thumbs down to these people!

I bought a W205 sony ericsson phone from moibile store, kemps corner on Oct 10, 2009. The phone was for my driver. On opening I found the phone was defective with characters appearing after few secons after typing. I took the phone back immediately and was shocked when they refused to change the defective piece. Was given to the customer care who promised they would replace the handset which eventually they did not but gave the phone back after 10 days with the problem still existent. LET ME ADVISE EVERYONE... DO NOT EVER BUY PHONES FROM MOBILE STORES IN INDIA AND NEVER EVER TOUCH A SONY ERICSSON HANDSET (SONY ERICSSON ARE CHEATS!)

2)file manager got corrupted and when opening that the phone gets restarted

3)phone is very slow in operation

4)some misc problems in message tab.mess not getting deleted and gets stored in outbox unauthorized
Its not even been a month, and i am facing problems of white screen and phone hangs.Also phone is functioning very very slow.
So, Please look into it.
