HTC — Not able to use the phone since the day of purchase

Address:Bangalore, Karnataka

Extremely disappointed with HTC.Being my first HTC phone, I am completely disgusted with the company.I purchased my HTC 501phone on 3rd March 2014, spending a sum of 17000 and am thoroughly disappointed with the quality of the product and shocked by the poor quality of HTC customer service.Should have stuck to the Sony !!! Reasons : After 4 days of purchase my earphone jack stopped working .Fortunately Chroma replaced it with a new handset since it was within a week of purchase . Again on the new handset, earphone jack and the charging port stopped working after may be a month and after which I approached the HTC service center, who did a software update and gave it back and ofcourse the problem wasnt solved so the phone was sent back again.This time I contacted the service center, 3 times, had to explain the situation to 3 different guys who advised me that they have already escalated the issue. I even spoke to the so called Manager regarding the same who claimed to have taken the issue seriously and just asked me to wait for an email regarding the same WHICH NEVER CAME! Software reloaded, device returned . Now, the fourth time I am experiencing the same Issue again .I am left with a Earphone jack not working and a dodgy Charging port. In effect I found the purchase of HTC 501 a waste of my time and money. I just feel that I am stuck with this phone and have lost my trust in the HTC customer service center . The customer care was reluctant to share the complaint number.Had to chase them multiple times to get the same. Will never go for HTC again. For reference :-My previous complaint reference numbers are 14INA[protected]INA[protected]

ANOTHER LET DOWN INCIDENT FROM HTC

A very smart representative Ms.Huma from HTC
has called me today and coaxed me to submit the
Handset for repair to do a thorough quality
check and 100% repair for the third time.

This was exactly the same promise given to me last time I submitted the
handset.

So I asked her for a Plan B, what happens if it fails like the last 2
times. She just asks me to call them again.She is not willing to give me a plan B, if the repair fails

Sorry to say HTC I just find the history
being repeated .

To be very clear, I was promised a plan B, if the phone does not work
after the check was done the last time I submitted my handset for repair.I
just feel you are taking the customer for a ride.

My expectation :

I am happy to submit the phone again a fourth time provided you give me a
plan B in writing.
What will HTC do for a customer who has faced such an issue for a long
time ?

What is HTC willing to do when their repair keeps failing again and
again the third time ?? Would you just ask your customer to keep submitting the phone for repair, giving them the same old promises or are you ready to do something to
solve the issue permanently ? I feel like I am talking to a Parrot, who just repeats what has been
taught rather than trying the best to address the issue based on what
the customer says.

With all due respect HTC, your team lacks training in Customer service . I feel I am certainly eligible for an answer
from HTC .

Hi HTC, Thanks for the reply. As a thorough quality check and 100 % repair has been already done in my case, the last time. I submitted my phone for repair ( according to the repair service executive who had rung me, whilst the phone was in your service center) and the issue still hasn't been resolved. I request the HTC to give me the best possible solution as promised.

Many thanks

Priyanka
