For application of my sony product warranty, where should i submit my case ?

Dear Sony International Support:
To whom it concerns:
I address this matter kindly to let you know my case.
On October of 2013 being at the USA I started my search for a mobile phone, the Xperia line was a great option, not only because of its stunning gorgeous look, but yet very powerful and the option of really nice integrated cameras.
Finally, I decided for an Xperia Z, the flagship of the Xperias at that time. I must be very clear at this point because being México my original residence country I asked for a phone whose later I could adapt easily to mexico mobile phone operators and operating bands, so the seller recommended an “Unlocked” phone and I was assured by the seller that the product I was buying would work without problems.
After my return to México I signed up for a mobile plan for my new phone with Telcel mobile operator, they configured my phone and it worked flawlessly.
Some months later I planed a trip to Europe, this trip started in May of 2014, in this trip I was very confident that my Xperia Z would do the job about my photo memories.
At the point I arrived Europe, the phone started to show strange behavior, such as receiving strange SMS messages in special characters like:  “#%[]¨_:_:[]]l¨}{“  for example.
Didn’t thought it was important and I ignored this, I thought it was maybe just the way data coding from Europe local operators work.
The point is; being at the middle of my trip, I had already a lot of photos stored on my Xperia internal memory.
One night after finishing a skype wi-fi call at the hotel, the phone just turned itself off , since that moment the phone got stuck into a loop of booting and restarting cycles,  when booting it gets into an incomplete home  screen, and then it reboots just a few seconds later,  this loop is continuous.
Clearly the trip was over for my Xperia, taking away with it’s failure my memories stored in, wich i didn’t have the chance to back up.
So I decided to continue my trip, buying a digital camera, and storing at nights in my laptop all my photos.
Of course, I hope you understand the great inconvenience that this product failure represented for me.
At my return to México on June, I contacted to Sony mobile support, they told me they could do nothing and they couldn’t make valid my warranty, and that I was meant to ask for support in the United States, but they kindly offered me to update the firmware of the phone as a courtesy, assuring me that this procedure wouldn’t affect the warranty of my product, finally this update couldn’t repair the problem leaving the phone in the same loop.
I’m somewhat disappointed about the Sony Mobile Support here at México.
Being honest I’m very concerned about recovering all my data in the phone, specially my photos, and videos I trusted to my phone, of course I’m concerned about the warranty of my phone too, but after reading that so many Xperia Z´s are having the same problem (reboot loop) at Sony official forums, and knowing about so many users having it replaced for a different model, Sony in this way is recognizing the native failure of the PCB in this particular model.
That’s the main reason I’m totally not interested in having the same model, or the same product being repaired.
I’m totally shure that Sony support have the right tools and knowledge to recover my data images on the phone, that’s quite important for me.
I feel very disappointed that the seller didn’t told me about not having the warranty support at the country I asked him, where I was going to use the phone. 
So I’m asking you kindnessly for the recover of all my data stored on the internal memory of the phone, and the refund of this same product because I don’t want to have this problems with warranty and the native design defects.
For me it’s very strange that Sony being a global company can’t offer me the right support in Mexico city.
I’m totally interested on other Xperia models like the Xperia Z2, but first I need to know, that if this happens again, there will be a great support backing me up, specially on the flagship models.
Finally I will appreciate a lot to know the procedure that you require from me to continue through this warranty case.
Im attaching the ticket of my product in this e-mail.
I appreciate a lot your kindness and professional support in this matter.
Sincerely your Customer,
Cesar Bazán

hi BAC, im sorry to hear about what happened to your phone. i too had a problem in regards with my sony xperia z1 compact, but more worse than what you had experienced (no pun intended) since i accidentally broke it. and i hadnt used it since then bacause i cant access the screen. Anyway i contacted the sony support and they've replied with my message after a day or two. i think that you should try it. Goodluck with your phone!

    hi,
    i'm from israel and i need to use my iphone Warranty Where should I send the device to fix some problem?

    Depends on where the device was purchased.
    If it was purchased in Israel, take it to an authorized service center in Israel.
    If it was purchased elsewhere, you'll need to take it back to the country it was purchased in for support.

  • The New Istanbul Apple Store Frustrating... Where should I submit my complaint?

    Hi,
    The first Apple store in Istanbul had a grand opening last month. I was so happy like some other Apple users in Istanbul, because I have bought all of my Apple products from Apple Stores in the US. I have always been so much impressed of  Apple's great customer satisfaction approach. Each time, when I got an issue and go to the Apple Store, I have always got out with a smilling face.
    However, I have been experiencing serious problems since I upgraded my Iphone 4 to ios 7.1 . I went to the store in Istanbul (29th of May)  and try to ask my question but unfortunately the employees seemed not happy with serving the customers. Finally I got a young rep working for Genius Bar. The whole exact conversation was exactly below:
    Me: - Hi, I got a question about an upgrade issue for my Iphone 4 and I have been so frustrated. Could you please guide me?
    Apple Employee- have you got an appointment?
    Me: Nope. But I just need an answer and I may wait because I could not sort out in the last 4-5 days.
    Apple Employee- I am sorry, first go online and get an appointment. Don't see these people waiting for genius bar? This is how it works here.
    Me: I would like to wait till you guys are done and I would like to have my quick answer.
    Apple Employee: Sorry, everyone here got some problems and they all took the appointment.By the way, I got an Iphone 4 and upgraded to newes IOS and got no problems.
    Me: Okay. But I got problems, sorry for bringing problems to you. Can I get the appoinment here and can I wait here. It does not take weeks, right?
    Apple Employee: At least 7 days.
    Me: Are you kidding me? I was thinking to buy the new Iphone 5s and put my second sim on my iphone 4. Then I will be stepping out the store and go to Samsung Store , buy a new Galaxy.
    Apple Employee: Sure... It is your choise sir. If you would like to buy Samsung.
    Me: Could I talk to your supervisor?
    Apple Employee: Yes, he is right next to me (he calls the supervisor. And the store is fully packed with customers and everyone hears all this tragic conversation)
    Supervisor: Yes sir. My coleague is right. You should get an appointment and wait for approximately 7 days. By the way, your phone is out of warranty because one of the screws are not there.
    Me: This phone has never been opened by anyone.
    Supervisor: It is impossible, you opened the phone and lost the screw. So this phone is out of warranty.
    Me: I am saying that this device has never been in the service, never touched. Moreover, my case is a software upgrade issue.
    Supervisor: Sorry. If you would like to, you may contact Apple Customer Service.
    I still feel so speechless and frustrated. The products in the store are great, design looks as same as other Apple Stores in the States but the employees are really problematic and tragic. I have never been insulted and humilated as a customer in my life.
    Thanks Apple Store in Istanbul. I will tell everyone around me not to go there. But I am so so frustrated and would like to share my experince with someone who knows the real Apple Customer Satisfaction approach. I am so lost and don't know what to do.

    Supervisor: It is impossible, you opened the phone and lost the screw. So this phone is out of warranty.Wow, I think that supervisor may need some training.  On something that small, a defective screw could fall out, and be missed the moment it is outside its case.   That in my humble opinion is not something most users could or would notice.   Talk about minutia of details.    Now if the moment they bought the phone the cover seemed a bit loose, that would be noticeable, but only if the screw was in an important place to keep it together.  If there are at least 2 screws elsewhere, the looseness of the case may never happen.   Better evidence the phone was opened would be needed, such as something out of place inside the phone.  Without having an appointment to visually inspect inside the phone, you can't really tell for certain it wasn't just a defective screw.

  • Report to check open reservations for production orders where GI not posted

    Hi experts,
    Can we get reservation details from any report/ table for production order where material has not been issued, report should also display the value of the reserved material.
    I could not find desired details in RESB (it has price but not value) and MB25.
    Thanks in advance, useful ansers will be rewarded.
    Thnx
    Anand

    Hello Anand,
    there is no report but you may use the production order info system with list "components" and create a layout contaning the issued quantity and/or the final issue indicator. With a correct sorting, the list should show all orders with non-issued components at the top.
    Regards, Andreas

  • Troubleshooting Io exception for application where other applications work

    I'm using jdev9052 to create a struts/jsp application. I've successfully deployed it to a test machine similarly configured to my production environment. I already have another application working in the production environent that uses the following connection in data-sources.xml:
    <data-source class="com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource" name="Orac
    leDS" location="weblogic.jdbc.DataSource.PlateauCoreDS" xa-location="weblogic.jd

    nnection-driver="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" username="user" password="pwd" url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:PTdev" inactivity-timeout="30"/>
    My application connection looks like this on the production machine:
    <data-source name="jdev-connection-PlatPTVPC" class="com.evermind.sql.DriverMa
    nagerDataSource" location="jdbc/PlatPTVPCCoreDS" xa-location="jdbc/xa/PlatPTVPCX

    nnection-driver="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" username="user" password=
    "pwd" url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:PTDev" inactivity-timeout="30"
    />
    The connection works on the test machine with this:
    <data-source name="jdev-connection-PlatPTVPC" class="com.evermind.sql.DriverMa
    nagerDataSource" location="jdbc/PlatPTVPCCoreDS" xa-location="jdbc/xa/PlatPTVPCX

    />
    The production machine is running Solaris 10, OAS 9.0.2.7 and the development machine is running Win2000, OAS 9.0.2.7.
    The listener is running and the database is working because I can connect using the other application. Yet, when I run my application, I get the dreaded "java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection"
    I used jdev to create an .EAR file, deployed it using the enterprise manager on both machines.
    Any suggestions?

    Get Turbo Lister (a free page editing and listing tool from eBay).
    http://pages.ebay.com/turbo_lister/
    eBay uses some seriously flawed markup on their auction pages.  In fact, they don't even ALLOW you to use good code. You're better off using their proprietary tools for this.   IMO, DW is not the right tool for creating eBay pages.

    I need one Ipad 128Gb with Retina iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi + Cellular (Black colour), where should I approach in Delhi/NCR for this product? I am unable to find this in Croma and other retailers.
    i need one very urgently for my day to day work. Can anyone suggest from where I can get a new piece(boxed) on or before 11 March 2013? As this is already launched in India in Jan month, but still not available with retailers, might be because of less demand of this very product.
    Any help will be much appriciated.
    Waiting for some clue.

    The 3rd Generation iPad does not come in 128GB capacity, only 16, 32, and 64GB capacities.
    The 4th generation iPad does come in 128GB capacity.

  • HT3680 My 3 year old iMac is freezing and I get a message "startup disk almost full for running applications. delete files..." Where do I find the startup disk and what should I delete?

    My 3 year old Mac is having trouble and freezes up from time to time lately. I get a message saying "startup disk almost full, delete files ..." something about having enough room for applications to function.  I know my startup disk is the Macintosh HD, but what kind of files do I need to delete and how much space do I need to free up?  In my "about this mac" area, it says I have 4.89gb free out of 319.21  So I am confused why I need to do this.

    You're less than 2% free and should always have at least 15% (my SWAG). Best is to get an ext FWHD and move stuff from the startup disk to it and delete it from that. Best things to move are movies, music, and photos, using the apps that manage those things.

    If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using Dr.Web Light from the App Store. It's free, and since it's from the App Store, it won't destabilize the system. If you prefer one of the better known commercial products, then Thomas recommends using Sophos.(Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.) If you already use Sophos, then be aware of this if you are using Mavericks: OS X Mavericks- Sophos Anti-Virus on-access scanner versions 8.0 - 9.1 may cause unexpected restarts
    From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
    The facts are:
    1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
    2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
         is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
    3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
         the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
        your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
        protection against malware.
    5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
        from which they purport to protect you.
    6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
    7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
    8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
        you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
    9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

  • How to fix "no valid 'aps-environment' entitlement string found for application"?

    I am trying very very hard to create a simple simple iOS app which can recieve push notifications.  My only reason for doing this is to establish a procedure for some other team members to use.  Our shop is fairly new to iOS dev, I personally am completely inexperienced with iOS dev and Xcode.  I've stumbled through tens of tutorials, articles, and trouble posts from Apple and elsewhere and I feel like I'm nearly there.  Here is where I've got to (note I'm using Xcode 4.3 and trying initially to deploy just to iOS 5.1, and I gather that some things may have changed recently vs earlier versions of Xcode, but again I'm new to all this -- and finding it completely confusing and convoluted):
    1. I've got a provisioning profile on my iPhone which has Push enabled
    2. In my test Xcode project I've got that provisioning profile selected as the signing identity (in Build Settings > Code Signing)
    3. I've got my bundle identifier under Summary and Info > Custom iOS Target Properties set properly* (I think??)
    4. I've got registerForRemoteNotificationTypes being called in my delegate's didFinishLaunchingWithOptions
    5. I've got didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken and didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError in my delegate, set up to log the device token or error respectively
    6. I've got Enable Entitlements checked under Summary. 
    7. Right below that the Entitlements File selected is Tinker6 (the name of my project), which was generated automatically when I checked Enable Entitlements
    8. In the Tinker6.entitlements file I've got the following (which I've gathered is correct based on several different posts all over the web, but which I can't find anything definitive from Apple itself on):
    When I attempt to run this on my device, I get the following error in Xcode output:
    2012-06-11 12:45:23.762 Tinker6[13332:707] Failed to get token, error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3000 "no valid 'aps-environment' entitlement string found for application" UserInfo=0x24a3b0 {NSLocalizedDescription=no valid 'aps-environment' entitlement string found for application}
    I've tried setting get-task-allow to NO, aps-environment to production, all four possible combinations, same thing.
    How can I get past this?  Where is definitive documentation on this?
    -- further background follows --
    *As far as the bundle id, I am still not clear on how this should be set in relation to App Ids and Profile ids in the Provisioning profile.  In the Provisioning portal under App Ids I have this (I've scrambled the number and domain but otherwise structurally will be the same):
    And the two places bundle id is set I have this:
    I am not at all sure these are correct or whether one or both should be set to 12355456A7.com.whatever.tinker, though I've tried those earlier in the process with no success...

    Solution: startover, do everything exactly the same (but with new IDs and certs for everything), and it worked.
