Why does my palm pre not covered under the one-year manufacturer warranty?

Hello Palm,
I bought one Palm Pre last month for my brother in China who is a big fan of Palm devices. However, the second week after he got the phone, the phone got very hot once he switched on and he can't access the internet. He doubted the chip of the phone was defective which causes the heat.
I called Palm Pre customer service in California several times and finally connected to a lady. She said since the phone was used in China and didn't come with a carrier number, they can't repair it and she suggested me upgrading the system. I don't understand why this phone was not covered by the one year manufacture warranty. The lady was not able to give an answer. So I am asking here to expect to have a reasonable one.
I am really frustrated by this phone problem and need a positive feedback.
Thanks
Peggy

I think their "refurbished only after 30 days" policy is ridiculous. The phone is less than 2 months old, and now I have to settle for a refurb when there's more than one thing wrong with the phone. It freezes, turns off, and restarts even with light usage. It heats up to the point of turning itself off and not coming back on. the speaker just blew, and with the slider open and shut, it wobbles all over the place. This is a great phone, packed with features, although video and/or sound recording would be nice. It is a true all in one device, and does everything. It's just not well made, and the replacement policy stinks. Next time I want a used ph one, I"ll get one on craigslist. I had LG's for the last 7 years, and had a problem once, about a month before the warranty was up, and they sent me a brand new phone. can't see me sticking with palm in the future, unless they fix all the issues with this phone.

    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.

    Not unless the crack is determined to be caused by a manufacturing error.
    Accidental damage is not covered under the standard one year warranty, which is a limited manufacturing warranty, not insurance.

  • My button has stopped working all the time is this covered by the one year original warranty?

    My button on my ipad does not work all of the time does any one know if this is covered under the original one year warranty?

    If you have a hardware issue (the home or power button not working certainly would be hardware) and you make an appointment at the Apple Genius Bar, if it is found to be defective, it certainly would be covered under the one year warranty.

  • Is a cracked screen covered under the one year warranty

    Is a cracked screen covered under the first one year warranty on an ipod touch?

    I'm afraid not:
    What type of damages are not covered by my warranty?
    Apple's Limited Warranty for iPod excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, liquid damage, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications. Please review the warranty for further details. When a service is not covered under the warranty, Apple will return your original iPod to you without providing service, and may hold you responsible for shipping costs, plus any applicable sales tax.
    An iPod that is ineligible for warranty service may be eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service. For example, an iPod that has failed due to damage or liquid damage is ineligible for warranty service but eligible for OOW service. However, certain damage is ineligible for OOW service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details.

  • I purchased a ipod classic on 1/27/13. I now have gotten a red x when I turn it on. Is that covered under the one year warranty?

    When I went to the applestore I was told that it was covered for only 90 days. What I read on the website says 1 year. The tech also did not seem to know much about the ipod classic. He was very rude and condescending.

    Hey James1964,
    Sorry to hear about your experience at the store. You can leave feedback here:
    http://www.apple.com/retail/feedback/
    To address the issue with the iPod, if you haven't already done them, I'd like to supply you with the recommended troubleshooting steps for when you see that red "X" icon on your iPod:
    Restore iPod from Disk Mode
    Disconnect iPod from your computer.
    Manually put iPod into Disk Mode.
    Open the latest version of iTunes and connect iPod.
    Restore iPod.
    Setup Service for iPod
    If you cannot force your iPod into disk mode and restore it, then your iPod may need service. Click one of the links below to setup an iPod Service Request online or make a reservation at the Genius Bar before visiting your local Apple Retail Store.
    Apple Retail Store
    iPod Service Request Online
    via: iPod Displays a Red "X" Icon
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1463
    If you already went through those steps and are seeking service, every iPod comes with a one-year limited warranty and 90 days of complimentary telephone technical support. You can read more about it here, and follow the below link to find out how to get service:

  • HT3302 I cracked the screen on my I pod touch. Is this covered under the one year warranty?

    I have an iPod touch that was a gift this past Christmas. I cracked the screen and don't know if it can be replaced. I've been told it can be at an Apple Store. Is this true?

    1. No.
    2. Contact Apple and ask. You'll need to pay for a repair or replacement.

    In the extremely unlikely event that the screen is damaged due to a manufacturing defect, it would be covered under the warranty. You would have to prove that to Apple that it is a manufacturing defect and not accidental damage. You can read this to see what you replacement options are.

  • HT204053 Why does Apple kick their old subscribers under the bus? I have an iMac G5 2.1 Computer using Leopard 10.5.8 system, and I am no longer able to renew my MobileMe account, Why? Maybe I should look into PC Computers in the future!

    Why does Apple kick their old subscribers under the bus? I have an iMac G5 1.9 and 2.1 computer using Leopard 10.5.8 system, and I cannot renew my MobileMe account, why? Is Apple incapable of keeping their old subscriber accounts active and still update their system? Maybe I should look into buying a PC in the future? I eagerly await your reply. Thanks

    MobileMe is being terminated in two weeks. If you have files on your iDisk which are not also on your computer you need to be downloading them as soon as possible or you will lose them.
    You can migrate to iCloud and set Mail up manually to receive your @me.com mail:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
    You will not be able to sync calendars or contacts. If you want to have general online file storage you will need to find a third-party alternative - this page examines some options:

    "Vaguely like" is the best we can hope for and a minor miracle in itself. PDF was never meant to be converted.

    Make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - delete  the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot and the option to rebuild the small thumbnails.

    Now those two templates again.
