Poor Service Record of Nokia Care Centers in India

Hi
I have a Nokia N95 1st Generation SmartPhone. I am trying to get a body replacement for the phone along with keypad and all other panels.  
I tried to get the same from Nokia care center @ Noida (Sector-2, Micronas Telecom), India. Even After they kept my handset for over a month , I had to fight to take my set back from then without the body replacement as they did not have the availability of the external body for whole month .(That's the reason I got).
Fake and duplicate (Near -Original copies) of this external body are available in market but i don't want to risk my phone usage experience and ease by buying those. Then, I do not know what to do now and whom to approach as nokia care centers dont even bother answering there customer care phones in Noida.   
My experience with Nokia I would say is  - Phones - Good .... Service and Support - Very Very Poor. 
This forum would probably be my last try to attract attention from any Nokia people or anyone who can help me out on this. Any suggestions from users are welcome. Please help asap. 
Thanks

I agree dude, Nokia service too bad...
Do you know once a reporter asked Toyota person "I can see Maruti service stations everywhere, but no Toyota's, is this is what is your after sale service?"
Toyota person replies saying "they need service for their cars after sales, but we do not need to, you do not see any broke down Toyota"
Just see number of Nokia care centers getting opened all over India. (But really the way Nokia Care Centre people behaves is pathetic they do not even know how phone behaves and what actually the phone got).
One of NCC's girl say's do factory reset your phone will be fine, he asks what does my contents she says it is intact, only if you give to us then your contacts will be vanished lol

  • Behaviour & service of Nokia Care Centers

    Hi,
    How are u ? I recently bought Nokia 6233 music edition phone Warrenty Ref. no. APAINY065420469 it started giving problem when I chose video(3gp or mp4) as ring tone. The people who are calling me,& when I answer them, they can`t hear me but I can hear them! Anything else is normal. Can anybody HELP me???. I already tried reinstalling nokia software v4.91 available on nokia product update site but not of any help, same problem continues.I also went to Nokia Care Centre (Solectron Centum Electronics Limited) in my area Gurgaon Haryana, India,today i.e. 16/02/2007 at about 3:00 pm but the response I got, was not satisfactory one. they told me if it is a software problem you will get back this in max. 2 - 3 hours. They also let me know the site where I can check status that never worked. Then I called up nokia Careline contact number given at the bottom of invoice copy. They told me that they have no information about my set & asked me to contact local Nokia Care again for status which I did, The person who picked up the phone took my details and told me that nobody is there Pl. call after 20 min which I did then also nobody turned up on the phone. The same person who picked up phone earlier told me that he has collected the information that you need to contact us on Monday morning at about 11:00 AM to know whether your set will be rectified here or will go to Delhi.
    Pl. tell me, this is the way your nokia care center make customer Roam about. Why, they don't at the very moment tell me that it will take this much of time and they are not even sure about the problem I told them. Can't understand why u people cannot recruit people who has proper knowledge about set. Pl. take this matter seriously as people trust nokia for quality and service but this is the second instance that had happened with me. Also if you can upgrade your Nokia Care Center with proper tools & technicality required to solve the problem & not make a mess of everything. kindly treat this on urgent basis as I will be without my cell which is my single point of contact at this moment & could hamper my job as I am IT professional needs to have cellphone on 24 hours, any emergency.
    Also one more thing kindly update your site as there is no support for Nokia 6233 Music Edition

  • Fadeup with NOKIA Care Bangladesh customer service

    I have a nokia 5800 which had display problem so I gave it to
    NOKIA Care Center
    Molly CapitaCentre
    76 Gulshan Avenue, 2nd floor
    Dhaka, Bangladesh
    for repair at 14th December 2009. The job Sheet No. is 86585. It covers the warranty period. Its over one month and they still fail to give the phone back. Every time they ask for 1 week more to repair.
    It is really unexpected from such a reputed company world wide to do customer harassment.

    Actually, Nokia Care Centers aren't operated by Nokia, rather they are local companies who buy the franchise rights to be the official affiliates of Nokia and operators of Nokia Care Centers for your country. You could try contacting your local Nokia hotline for advise on your problem.

  • Be Very Careful When Choosing to use Nokia Care sy...

    Up until the weekend of November 23rd, I had nothing but praise for Nokia after choosing their Nokia Lumia 720 Windows 8 Phone. I was wary of going with WP8 as it was less supported by third party software for apps compared with iOS and Android, but its functionality impressed me for its entry range standing as a model.
    That weekend, after a series of Application and a phone update, the screen started experiencing issues with random movements of the screen making it unusable. Both soft resetting and resetting to factory defaults failed to resolve the issue, so on Monday November 25th, I contacted Nokia Care LIVE Chat via the support website to see if there was anything they could suggest to resolve the problem.
    They advised me to take it to my locla registered Nokia Care Point, which was right near the train station I use to go to and from work, which I did the next day. Left the phone with them and was told to come back in an hour. I returned and they had managed to fix that issue, they had reloaded the phone's firmware and software to an "in the box" level, and for good measure replaced the screen and the speaker inside. I could not have been more happy with the service, it was quick and more then I could have hoped for.
    Then sadly, during setting up the phone to use as it had been wiped, I noticed that the command buttons at the bottom of the phone were no longer lighting up as they had done before. I then noticed that the camera was not working, front or back, it was not being recognised by the phone and all I had was a back screen. I called the Nokia Care point and told them, they said no problem just bring it back and they will sort it. I did the next day, same thing, left the phone with them for an hour but this time, returned to the shop to be told "there is lots wrong with the phone, we need to send it back to Nokia and it could take one to two weeks to come back.
    So my phone went in with one issue, not fixed 100%, returned to me broken and told "its all good" then within 24 hours my phone is made even more broken, so broken the registered and certified Nokia Care Point are unabe to correct the faults they made, and need to send it off for a full repair or replacement under the warranty.
    Sounds simple doesnt it?  I took in a faulty phone, whcih was then made even more faulty by the Nokia Care Point, so when I contacted Nokia Care by LIVE Chat to say that I was unhappy with losing my phone, which was under warranty, for up to two weeks because of a botched repair attempt by their own certified Care Point and asked if I could have a replacement.
    Then it got really messy. Was told that even though its under warranty, no replacement could be issued until the main repair centre had assessed the phone, check to see if they coud repair it, now for a 3rd time in seven days, before a decision would be made about if a replacement was justified. Even though it was their own Care Point which broke the phone requiring them to look at it in the first place. I was told to give it 48hrs for them to recieve the phone, which I did and contacted them on the Friday only to be told that my phone had not reached them yet.
    Monday comes and I get a phone call from the Nokia Care Complaints team, which my case and complaint had been forwarded onto, telling me that my phone has yet to be assessed by the engineers. So no work had been done on the phone at all, so no decision could be made about a replacement. Tuesday ( today ) I get another call and this time the phone has been looked at but apparantly they are now waiting for a part for the phone, with no eta of delivery time, I repeat my request to have a replacement phone, saying that it should not be me as the customer that has to keep being patient for Nokia Care to rectify an issue with my phone that they created in the first place and that the very least they can do is offer me a replacement so I can carry on as normal whilst they sort out how the repair went so wrong in the first place, aso that the compensation offer of a £10 Nokia Music voucher for a service that is already free to Lumia users and then the offer of a bluetooth headset which the 720 doesnt have was equally pointless and that they should do better. Was told they would put the request in but again cant make a promise it will happen.
    An hour a go I took a phonecall from the Nokia Complaints team asking me, which is redundant as I have no choice in the matter, to give them 24-48 hrs for them to complete they investigation or review of my case, so thar brings it to the end of this week meaning any replacement or return of a refitted repaired phone wont happen till at least next week, taking it to two weeks of not having a working phone since taking it to them on the 26th November.
    So far, I have never been made to feel more worthless and valueless as a customer by any company whose products or services I have used. From the point at which my phone was made even worse by a failed repair by a certified and registered Nokia Care point to the utter nonsense of endless Nokia Care Customer service which hides behind policies designed to protect Nokia rather then the customer when it comes to repairs and faults. 
    I am left with no faith in any part of the Nokia Care system from the Care Points, to the service you receive via LIVE Chat on the Nokia Support site to using their Twitter support via @Nokiahelps to even speaking with their non UK Call centres. I have no faith that I will get a replacement phone even though the phone will have had so many new parts it might as well have just replaced instead of multiple repair and software reloads in the two weeks the phone will be out of my posession (factoring in the next week as I dont expect to see it returned or replaced)
    I say to anyone looking to use Nokia Care, which your phone still in warranty, especially in the UK, is to go through the network provider your contract is with rather then direct with Nokia Care. I have encountered nothing but poor service and atrocious customer care in every regards for a problem that was originally a fault due to software updates but led to the Care Point taking the phone apart and creating new faults, something which Nokia Care still wont accept is a viable reason to replace the phone.
    If you do have your phone repaired in a Nokia Care Point, make sure you test every aspect of the phone before you leave, but I suggest sending back via your contract provider. I hope what I have been through and continue to go through with this experience of Nokia's idea of Care, is enough warning to others and that no one else suffers similar issues.
    Regards
    A No longer happy with Nokia Customer

    Same here I have Lumia 920, 3 days after I bought it the device had an overheating problem and once the phone is off, I have to work hard to turn it on again, from soft resetting and hard resetting it After that I brought the phone to Nokia Care Center (I'm Indonesian by the way) in the NCC Branch in my province. 2 days after that, they told me that the problem was solved and asked me to take the phone. When I got there and the Costumer Service want to give me the phone, she try to turn on the phone, but she can't. She take the phone to a room (I don't know maybe it's the repairman room or whatever) and when she got out she told me that the problem is still exist and they will brought my phone to the NCC Center in other province. I have to wait for 2 weeks. Can you believe it? 2 weeks WITHOUT ANY PHONE? I have to buy another low-end phone that time.
    After that the phone back to normal, But Then another problem come, after update my phone to Amber, my phone can't use Nokia Pro Cam (at that time, before Nokia Camera out), Bing Vision, Maps, Glance Screen, Auto Rotate, and GAMES. at first I just have to restart the phone to turn it back, but then the problem is not solved after I restart, even then, I did a hard reset but the problem is still there. Last friday, I brought my phone to the Nokia Care Center, they asked to take it the next day, but AGAIN! The problem is not solved, and they said I have to wait until the newest software update to come so the problem can be solved. Today, still no news or information from them, I don't know if I can trust Nokia Care Center again after this

  • Does Nokia keeps an eye on its care centers?

    Hi all,
    Though I am new here for posting a message. But, not new to using nokia.
    What I want to ask Nokia, that do they keep a track on how the nokia cares. From my experience I have learnt, that these care centers can cheat the end users. I have been among these cheated one.

    @Feedbacks
    You don't have to "Tweet" your posts unless you thought it would be more dramatic however irritating. A lot of Nokia Care Points are independent repairers whom have agreed to provide service which can account for the variability in user experience unfortunately.
    Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

  • Nokia Care (U.K) -Simply the best service i have e...

    My Nokia N97 was sent back for a repair a number of weeks ago.
    I have had numerous problems with the unit, ( multiple faults/repairs) but i won't go into that.
    My son was recently adnitted into Hospital, and was in intensive care.
    The N97's internal microphone stopped working, and i was unable to hear callers.
    I arranged a repair and to Nokia's credit, the unit was picked up the next day.
    I was left without a phone, and desperately needed one, as my wife and i were at the hospital for 24hrs, doing 12hrs each.
    I contacted Nokia  on 17/09/11, and explained my predicament.
    I spoke to a gentleman named Damian, who could not have been more helpful.
    Suffice to say, not only was i offered an alternative handset, Damian even tried to get the handset, to me the following day!
    The handset arrived this morning, and i am so grateful.
    This was customer service, way beyond my expectations, and i am so humbled by the kindness shown towards me.
    My faith in Nokia has been restored, and this shows what a great compamy they are.
    I cannot recommend the Nokia Care service, highly enough.
    Thank you.

    Yes it is nice to see some positive feedback, I had my N97 replaced a few months ago, but sadly it is still a very problematic bit of kit !! None the less well done Nokia for customer service

  • Poor Service Support and Con Job by Nokia at Visak...

    Hi all,
    I purchased a Nokia N97 on 28 Sep 09 from Nokia Priority dealer at Visakhapatnam (address: SHop no 15 & 16, Pavan Commercial Complex, Dabagardens, Visakhapatnam). The very next day I had to go back to the dealer with the phone as it's battery was running out too frequently without the GPRS being active. I was told by Mr SSK Chakravarti of the Nokia Priority Dealer that the handset required continuous charging for 9 hours for three successive days. On pointing out to him that it was clearly indicated on page 20 of the user manual that there was no prior charging required, he stated that it was a publicity gimmick of Nokia. He thereafter uploaded softwares on my phone and sent me back asking me not to worry at all. I did so and had to depart out of station for work on the very next day. On 01 Oct 09, I saw that my phone was discharged and was not recharging. I decided to get back to the showroom on returning to Visakhapatnam. On 08 Oct 09, when I reached Visakhapatnam, I sent my representative to the shop as I was preoccupied. My represantitive was redirected to the Nokia Service Centre who declared that the phone was dead and had to be sent to the company. My representative asked him to send the phone to the company and replace the set as the defect had earlier been reported within 27 hours.To which the person dealing there agreed and asked him to come back the next day. The next day on 09 Oct 09, I personally took the phone to the Service Centre and was told that nothing could be done. He asked me to submit the phone which I had to do and was asked to contact him on Monday 12 Oct 09. In the meanwhile I sent the necessary details to Nokia on the website and got a reply from one Seauli Hati and then from Ms Rachana Thimaiah. They asked me for details of the service centre which I informed them that I would be able to give them only on Monday as the receipts were with my staff who had gone off for the weekend. Today I have submitted the details in the form of scanned copies of the receipts of purchase and deposit of handset. The Service Centre tells me that nothing has been done on the handset and that I should contact him tomorrow. Seauli Hati and Rachana Thimaiah have spoken about the handset being repaired. However, I would wish to know - How many of you would like to pay Rs 31600/- and not be able to use the handset even for 24 hours and thereafter accept a repaired handset.
    I think Nokia is on a Con Job!! I am disappointed with the services and would strongly advice everyone not to buy the Nokia handsets.

  • Re. Complain on Nokia Care Services in Chennai, In...

    Dear All,
    I am one of the Nokia mobile users for the past 5 years. All my family members are using only Nokia mobiles and I also recommended my friends & colleagues to go for Nokia.
    I had trust on it before but not now… I am sorry to say that…. Because you people made me to do so.
    I am really Sorry to say that I lost all my confidence and faith with NOKIA..
    I never had such a worst experience from the NOKIA CARE..
    Let me explain the problem..
    " I purchases a New Mobile NOKIA - HANDSET - 2630 - BLACK from one of your vendor "UniverCell Telecommunication India Pvt Ltd. Velachery Branch" on March 07, 2008. I came to see that it gets hanged or struck in between very often while using and the mobile becomes stops functioning, then I have to remove the battery and then reset the mobile and then only I have can use it. I thought it might be loose contact or the battery might not properly pack. I very often found that my mobile hanged. On March 09, 2008 I took to the vendor where I bought, they redirected me to NOKIA CARE at Taramani, Chennai they redirected me to NOKIA CARE at TTK Road Alwarpet, Chennai they and again they redirected to NOKIA CARE at Royapetta, (Near Sathyam Theratre) Chennai. See the way of how each service centre palys with the customer. And finially I went to NOKIA CARE on March 27, 2008. (Service Center Details - ROCKY AGENCIES, New No:32, Old No: 10, Thiru Vi Ka Road, Royapetta, Chennai. ASC : 124_343506, Contact Number: 044-42045204, Email Address: [email protected] and MY Job Sheet Number: 124343506/080329/6 Dt: 29/Mar/2008). At first they checked it and told it was a Software Problem, and they reloaded it and gave. After that when I bought the mobile to my home and tried to charge it, I got an error message "Charger Not Supported" and then on March 29, 2008, I took it back to NOKIA CARE, they once again diagnosed that the issue is with the Board, we have to produce it to Head Office and then get rectified. So they took the Mobile and then asked me to come after 2 days, after 2 days when I went to collect my mobile, they told me that Since it a Board problem it will take another a week, and I asked them please inform the correct date so that I can come at right time. (Because I work for an MNC Company _ Hewlett Packard (HP) as a Operation Research Manager, My Home is at Velachery, Chennai and my work place is at Sriucheri, Chennai which is 50 Kms away from city. I used to go my office early around 8 AM and return Home late nights in the evening, so I had hard time to track the status of my mobile) After a week (Today - March 11, 2008) when I especially took leave and approached them they Said it will take another 10 days and it is a issue with Board, so mobile have to replaced. Then I got annoyed and lost my control and I asked the Customer technician over there... to get me the exact date so I will get back to you so that I don't have to come all the way and hearing some excuses, this make me more tensed. Then I requested the service person that please check with your head office and get me the exact information. After wards they told me that NOKIA had stopped manufacturing this model and we don't have it local stores and also in Nokia priority Dealers, So you have to wait for another 10 days. For further information they just asked me to contact Head Office. See I gave the mobile to the NOKIA CARE Center they gave the mobile for servicing it to Head office, And I don't know who to contact & what to ask them...(Because I got a information from one of my colleague these guys give the customer mobile to some local person for serving and they are paid cheaper and also I heard that these technicians uses the customer mobile for there own use saying that they are testing... I don't know how true so far). Then I thought to contact the SERVICE CENTRE MANAGER, they said he will come late so it not possible for you to meet, then I told that I will wait, then they asked me to wait for 15 minutes and they asked me came with a solution that I will get my mobile will be ready by today evening. And asked to come and collect it.. But when I went to the Service Centre evening, they made me to wait for an hour, then came with a Solution that, we got a New replacement mobile for other customer since you are coming often for your mobile, so If you wish you can avail this, then I enquired about the warranty on it, they said it have the warranty what that mobile has, and you will not be covered under any warranty with this, if you come across any problem in future. Then I got tensed and annoyed and then I request for my mobile, again they tried to postpone the days (you have wait for another 10 days), then I requested to give my mobile back or to know the status of it. They just simply asked to contact the Head Office, and they are not giving the head Office address they ask us to contact through phone (3030838) I tired al lot it goes to IVR and get disconnected. And no proper response from the Nokia Care. See the controversy in statement (March 11, 2008).
    See I bought a mobile because of the Durability and brand name but... I lost all the Hopes and confidence that they will give my mobile today... Already one month of my warranty gone in service centre and I don't you please give Warranty and Guarantees of your products... I hardly used the mobile for less than 10 days only... but I had terrible and bad experience in customer servicing with the Nokia....Care... Not only me I found most of the people who come for serving face a terrible experience...Like no proper response when we give a call.... or they disconnect the call while speaking... They spoil the name of Nokia...
    Note: Important: If I don't receive proper response from this Mail I am going to take severs action against the company through legally and also I am going to publish an article on all the local magazines. And I going to forward this mail to all the over web and also through my company intra net to all of my colleagues those who are working in HP (Hewlett Packard) to higher officials in and around world..
    And finally I kindly request you people all those who represent NOKIA to give right Information to customer and commit yourself what you say... Or don’t spoil the Brand name"....
    See the loyalty to the customer it not me suffered there are many customer like me….
    I need a Solution for this….
    If any one of the concern person directly from Nokia contacts me will be highly appreciated…..
    Hoping for a reply soon…
    With regards,
    Sridhar.P

    dear sir,
    u are very right that nokia is such a huge name but its customer care is very bad....if i use WORST, it is better suitable for nokia team.
    I also bought N73ME on november 2007. i was used alone without any bluetooth or data cable, because frightened from virus. i only transferred some songs in Feb 2008 and i was listening that since then. but in September 2008, my mobile automatically showed MUTE and its loudspeaker has stopped working. i went to Nokia Care, there i spent Rs. 1800.00. They told me that the "B" cover is currupted (they have no reason) so it is not cover under guarantee. I gave him the rupees and got my phone. but in just after one week, got another problem, the phone automatically restart. no matter i was talking or listening the music. I again went to that Nokia Care, there he says that it is a cosmatic problem, so need to change the crystals and number covers. But initially he demanded Rs. 110.00 for "check-up" my mobile. i told him that after repairing the "B" cover, i am facing that problem. So he did not took that Rs. 110.00. he told me to get mobile on the very next day and the cost he told was Rs. 2500.00. I was just fedup that even since it is not completed one year, i am going to spend Rs. 5000.00 onto my mobile . What is this. But i called the Nokia Care on next day, then the mechanic told me that the phone would get me after 7-10 days because it went for repairing. I was not expecting that without my knowledge they would sent my phone. Because in this fast life, we cannot live without mobile in such more days. But i had no choice. I called Nokia Care Phone team on 0124-30303838, and that was my very big mistake. he only gave me another nokia care address and told that he only help like this, nothing more.
    I am just fed up all this nuansense and going to convince all the friends, relative and others -- not to buy nokia products ever in life.

  • Poor Nokia Care Support

    I had purchased a Nokia E6-00 in September 2012 in Bangalore. It was working well until the beginning of November when the mobile refused to load, switching it on taking it up to the Nokia Welcome screen and switches off after that.  I took it to the Nokia Care Center who said that a software update was required, and I agreed. After a few hours, they informed me that there is a hardware problem in the phone and that it had to be sent to Delhi to be repaired. I mentioned to them that it was a new phone, just over a month old, and a hardware problem meant it was a defective device and I would prefer a replacement of the device with a new one. The Care Center personnel directed me to the call center mentioning that I need to talk to them regarding that, which I did, mentioning that a phone that is just over a month old should not have a hardware problem, that I have been delivered a defective device, and I would like a replacement of the device instead of repairing the old one.   Till date, despite numerous calls and discussions, I have just got a reply telling the phone has been repaired and that I should collect the phone from the Care Center and nothing else above that.
    I would like to know if I am on the wrong side demanding a phone replacement instead of accepting the repaired phone which was defective in the first place when I bought it.
    Looking forward for your opinions

  • Justification of Nokia Care Bangladesh

    With due respect i just want to question of having Nokia Care (service centers) in Bangladesh. There are several complains exists against them. Recently i gave my new 5800 for servicing (since there is a big question regarding the launching of ever worst model by Nokia) as it produce noisy sound during listening music. They had solved the problem simply by updating firmware (i hardly belief that hardware can be fixed by software). As a result i have to go that nokia care 2nd time within two weeks. But i still not getting my phone back. Now the are telling that they don't have the parts  !!!!!
     Then why this nokia care for? Are they only to provide some **** firmware upgradation thing (which can be fixed from home)?

    dear mr. th3jin i hope u have not experienced any bitter experience form Nokia Care yet. That's why u can tell this thing. I hope if u were in the nokia care, i got the instant service. Because i've no idea how a faulty sound device can be fixed by some twisting things. May be u r great technician. However i still do not receive the phone from Nokia Care. What u now tell regarding the standard of Nokia Care. I'm not questioning the standard of rest of the world's nokia care. I'm talking about Bangladeshi Nokia Care. The complaint is not mine but I've talked many of the same experienced person of Bnagladesh. Moreover the Quality control is not up to the mark regarding recently realesed 5800 (if u visit some of the forum u'll get it), i this context SonyEricsson rocks.

  • How I got fooled by Nokia Care, Bangalore. [Lumia ...

    Hi, 
    I purchased a Nokia Lumia 720 on May 2nd week 2013 from an authorized Nokia vendor in Bangalore. Now, here are the issues I've faced, and here's how Nokia has been 'kind' to serve me.
    > The phone has had reception issues from Day 1. The person on the other end of the line, cannot hear my voice clearly, which ends up in me shouting/talking louder than usual to make sure the person gets me. Initially, I thought this might be a network issue, or maybe because the phone is too new. I decided to give this a few days.
    > Day 7, and things got worse. Poor reception, phone lagging, volume increasing decreasing automatically, notifications failing. On contacting Nokia care, they asked me to format  my 'seven day' old phone. That was done. No change.
    > Day 10. I finally gave up and thought of switching networks in hope of getting better reception. Mind you, I was getting excellent reception at my house with this same SIM on my previous handset.
    > Day 14. New SIM activated. Issues remain. Contacted Nokia, they asked me to move to 'Micro Sim' and not cut the normal 'Sim' as that might be the reason for the issue. Plus, the other issues increased making the phone unusable at times because of the lag.
    > Day 17. Microsim activated, Issues gone worse. Planned to visit Nokia Care, Bangalore. Got told that I need to format my phone again and everything will be fine.
    > Day 18. Formatted. Issues remain. Visited another Nokia Care in hope for better service. But well, got treated arrogantly. According to the customer 'care' rep at the Nokia Care, water has made it's way into the motherboard of the phone and that has been causing issues. When told that these issues were there since day 1, the customer care guy cuts you off arrogantly, and instead blames you of phone tampering. Like, really. The phone wasn't even taken to any service station apart from Nokia, and even when it was taken to Nokia, they did not open the phone. Apart from that, I have taken utmost care of the phone; no rough usage at all.
    Now, it's pretty clear that the phone has had issues since day 1, and I've followed every instruction given by Nokia to hopefully fix my phone. Nokia on the other hand is hell bent on blaming the customer for the issues in the phone; also washing their hands off from fixing it within the warranty period since the supposed motherboard does not come under warranty, and has billed me Rs. 1200/- and asked for SEVEN day period to fix the phone, today being the second day of waiting period.
    I do not understand why I have to pay Rs. 1200 to fix a brand new phone which has had issues since day 1, plus, why is Nokia so stubborn in proving that the customer is always wrong, a fool; and whatever the reps at Nokia Care say, are as accurate as it can be. Oh, not to forget the arrogant behaviour of the reps which make you embarrased infront of the others queued up to service their phone.
    A truly apalling experience for a Nokia lover like me, do not think I'd ever buy a Nokia phone ever; even if given for free. I'd rather save myself the harrasment the reps intend to cause you.

  • New Macbook Air 11" 2014 Model Display Hinge Loose and exacerbated by extremely poor service

    I have bought a new MacBook Air 11 from Ezone on the 3rd of October.  When I opened the product, I realised that the hinge seemed to be loose and would fall back on its own when tilted. That's when my troubles started.
    I went to the Maple Apple Authorised Service Center at Santa Cruz, Mumbai and was told that the product was fine and that the screen tilt was 'normal'.
    I then happened to visit some other stores and noticed that the MacBooks on display didn't swing back the same way.
    I returned to the Service Center again and was told again that it was 'normal'. When I demanded to see the manager, I was told he had left for the day. I rang him and was told that I should come and see him the next day and he would provide a speedy resolution to the problem.
    I rang the store that I'd purchased it from and they told me that they would be happy to replace the product provided the service center gave a certificate called DOA.
    The next day was an even more harrowing experience. When I reached the manager's office, he tried telling me again that the product was 'normal'. When I explained to him that none of the in store models were like that, he said that to give the certificate, he would need at least 2 days as there was a 'process' to be followed. The 'process' is to merely record how the display flips back when tilted back.
    I tried to call Apple Customer Care and spoke to Nishant and then Ravi (who told me that he usually never spoke to customers directly but as a special case was speaking to me since I'd had a bad experience!).
    Ravi, assured me of a ideal resolution within 24 hours.
    And so today, I received a call from Nishant, who informed me that because of the nature of the inconvenience, Apple had decided to offer 2 solutions: 1. They would ship a new machine from Singapore directly to my home address but that would take 4-5 business weeks. I was fine with that solution although I didn't understand the merit of sending a new laptop from Singapore. However, he then told me that I would FIRST have to submit the laptop and ONLY THEN would they ship it out to me. So essentially, I would be without a laptop for next month and a half! In short, a ridiculous solution. 2. The second solution was that I would have to give my BRAND NEW laptop (less than 2 weeks old!) to the service centre, they would repair it and return it in a few days. So we were back to square one. When I tried to understand the escalation process, I was curtly told that there was no escalation and this was Apple's response and resolution to my problem.
    So, I, the unhappy customer, was given no choice except to turn  in my machine to the service centre whereas, GLOBALLY, Apple would have replaced the machine if it was less than 2 weeks old!
    Absolutely pathetic experience with no keenness to help except have longwinded calls that provided no solution whatsoever.
    And this to a customer who's just bought a brand new machine and is expecting a spectacular experience! Even Lenovo or Sony offer onsite support, so the Apple experience is a terrible, terrible letdown.
    I feel cheated and downright stupid for having paid such a premium for a product with manufacturing defect followed with such extraordinarily poor service!

  • Replacement battery nightmare (poor service rant)

    I just wanted to share a service nightmare I've had with Apple recently.
    At the beginning of August, I noticed that the battery for my MacBook Pro was warped, and learned about the battery replacement program. The battery quickly became unusable, and I had to remove it from the laptop. I signed up on August 5 to receive a replacement. DHL Courier contacted me on August 14 to say they had received incomplete shipping information from Apple. They delivered a package to me on August 16, but it turned out to be an incorrect part. Instead of a MBPro battery, I received a PowerBook power adapter. I contacted Apple Care, and they promised to have a new one sent. I waited 3 weeks, it did not arrive. Contaced Apple Care again. They said they had no record of my contacting them. So I ordered yet another replacement battery, for which I am still waiting. Called them on Thursday (Sept. 28) to inquire. Was told they have no visibility into shipments for the battery replacement program, and that I could expect to wait an additional 4-6 week. Told them I needed to use my laptop for an upcoming business trip, could they speed the delivery? They said no, it would not be possible to speed the delivery . I said "thanks for such attentive service". So what did I do? I ordered a battery through the Apple Store, which was delivered to me this morning via FedEx, within 48 hours.
    This experience is my first of receiving poor service from Apple, and I'm a little shocked. Anyone else having similar problems?

    i have had bad experiences at the apple store because or moron geniuses... i did the battery replacement program and got my new battery in about 15 hours via DHL.
    My power cord broke, and i took it to the apple store. asked for replacement covered under warranty. the moron.. i mean genius tells me its not covered and offers to sell me a $150(or so) power adapter. I told him "*** that". I go home, call apple care, they inform me it is covered, and sent me a new adapter in same time... about 15-20 hours via DHL. I LOVE APPLE CARE! HATE THE MORONS AT APPLE STORE WALNUT CREEK.

  • Nokia OVI Suite and Nokia Care Support

    Today I called Nokia Support, because I could not download maps with map loader.
    The guy asked if the ovi suite is installed. I told him, that the Ovi suite keeps on crashing on start-up on my machine, and that all other software is running fine, e.g. the PC suite which I am using instead.
    For a price of 14 Cent/Minutes this "Nokia-Care"-guy had the nuts telling me that probably my computer needs to be fixed. After telling him that my computer works fine with all other software, he finally told me that I need to call Microsoft, as it would be their fault that Ovi Suite is not running on my machine.
    This is a poor joke called "Nokia-Care". Dear Nokia-people, that is no-support and no-care-at-all. Providing something that crashes for free, and charging money for providing rudeness on the phone.
