Xperia z1: a BAD BAD experience regarding customer care, service center and sony india.

I have bought a xperia Z1 at 29th march 2014. I was very happy after buying it but after 2 months it becomes a trouble for me. after 2 months of purchasing i found a sensor problem occured in the phone, due to which auto rotate function was not responding. i submitted my mobile and after 7 days i got a new one. but unfortunately my mobile slipped from my pocket and fell down on floor, because of that my mobile phone screen gor a crack. since it was under accidental warranty i submitted my mobile phone to the service centre and they told me that they have sent the application for approval at 21st july. later on 23rd morning i got information from customer care, that my application has ben rejected. again at 23rd july they told me that they have again submitted the application an will revert in 2 days.
after 2 days i.e. at 25th they told me that there is no answer from sony india head office due to which they are unable to provide me standby. after a long argument with service head at customer care, service centre provided me a stand by, till i was using nokia 1100 . the biggest problem arised yesterday i.e 4th aug, when i called at service centre they told me that there is no approval and same word was on behalf of service center.
its been more than 15 days and the service center told me that i'll have my mobile after 15 days. now i'm losing my temper , no clear solution is provided to me and still i have no info about the application they have sent. this my message to aware all about the bad services provided to me by (don't know personally i.e service center/customer care/sony india). this is clear warning if i doesn't have my mobile within 7 days, i'm gonna complaint to consumer court.

CRM Customer Care Service

hi experts,
Can anyone help us..... what is Customer Care Service in CRM... Where can i get the documentation....

Hi Pradipta,
Multiple commits would lead to you to trouble.
What you could do is that, you some global data to pass the ibase information for further use in side same function modules and have only one commit i.e the one called by the one order frame work.
One general way of passing data is thru the put and get fm's written in the same function groups. When you are creating the Ibase you can use the put fm to put all the data to some global variables and again when you want to read this data you can call the get fm which read the gobal variables and return the details.

I've had a very bad experience with an Apple Service Center in my country. Is there any way I can report this to Apple?

I brought my laptop there to have my monitor fixed. They gave me a quotation of around Php 21,000. Then, the engineer texted me and offered me a repair without labor fee for around Php 10,000. I replied saying that I will think about it. After a few days, I texted the engineer my go signal for the repair at Power Mac and I will just pay the Php 21,000 fee. I called the San Juan office around after a month and it turned out that they didn’t know that I gave them a go signal and that I found out at that moment that I was supposed to give a downpayment. They were so surprised about it and told them that they will report the issue and investigate the person who texted me. They said that engineers are not supposed to personally text the customers. The manager even called me to apologize and asked me if I am willing to join the investigation and find out the name of the suspect.
They think they wouldn’t even have given me any discount at all until I asked. They gave me a small discount despite the issues.
I just claimed my laptop today only to find out that its battery life was decreased to 30 minutes from around 4 hours. I don’t know if the engineer switched my battery or they damaged it during the repair.
I don’t even know if all the parts of my macbook are still original. I have no idea if they replaced the others or not. I am really disappointed with the Apple Service Center. I still don't know howI am going to talk to them about the battery.
Do you have any suggestions where I can have my gadgets repaired? Please suggest good service centers. Thank you!

Hi Abbie. You have every reason to be upset. These issues normally happen in our country. You can send them an email regarding your concern here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macbook.html
Regarding your battery, you can probably reset the SMC and see if that improves your battery life. Here are the steps.

thanks for understanding

Apple will not touch any iPhone that has been opened by anybody other than certified technicians, especially when they install an unknown battery from an unknown source. You have sacrificed any support and warranty from Apple:
"This warranty does not apply: (a) to consumable parts, such as batteries or protective coatings that are designed to diminish over time, unless failure has occurred due to a defect in materials or workmanship; (b) to cosmetic damage, including but not limited to scratches, dents and broken plastic on ports; (c) to damage caused by use with another product; (d) to damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, liquid contact, fire, earthquake or other external cause; (e) to damage caused by operating the Apple Product outside the user manual, the technical specifications or other Apple Product published guidelines; (f) to damage caused by service (including upgrades and expansions) performed by anyone who is not a representative of Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider ("AASP"); (g) to an Apple Product that has been modified to alter functionality or capability without the written permission of Apple; (h) to defects caused by normal wear and tear or otherwise due to the normal aging of the Apple Product; or if any serial number has been removed or defaced from the Apple Product, or (j) if the product is stolen or Apple reasonably believes that the product is stolen based on information provided by law enforcement authorities."

Pathetic customer care service of DoGear Deapartment

This is Abhiraj Suryawanshi. I purchased the new lenovo Z580 laptop which is working absolutely fine. First of all I wanted to clear that experience with customer service center was VERY BAD. I suppose to get the eVouchers along with the z580 laptop that I have purchased . I had registered for the DoGear program on 24rd July 2013 attaching the required documents. I got mail for the successfull registration. After few days I got the mail saying that we have not received the required documents and ticket JHO-601-88411 got open Also I got the mail for credentials for the same. I have replied to that mail with required documents. I can see that reply updated in ticket but I DID NOT received any confirmation mail for the same. I have opened a new ticket for the query. Even For that ticket I DID NOT get any call. After few days I again got one mail saying that we still HAVE NOT received the required documents. again I had replied to mail with required documents. still I DID NOT received any confimation mail or call. I have tried contacting the DoGear customer care team 02240174686 , every time I got this number BUSY , when I tried contacting for atleast an hour it got connected BUT nobody attended the call. I could hear only prerecorded message all the the time "Your call is important to us. All our executives are busy attending other customers. Please wait while we connect you to our next available executive." so finally I got disconnected the call after 15 mins. If the call was really so important, somebody could have attended it, I am really unhappy with the service. I just want to say If you are unable to handle the people just dont start any promo offer. It will definitely increase the sales but at the same time you will receive such kind of mails from your so called VALUED customers and you will loose them. I hope POST would be helpful for you and it will clear the picture of your service.

Hi Somnathr,
You can try on 022-65025668. I hope your query will get resolved ASAP. BTW , new experience I faced after getting the vouchers somehow. I had ordered the two items from DoStore one is Lenovo Wireless Mouse N3903 (Metal) and Lenovo speaker C1530 WW (Black) by paying the Rs 400 extra as toatal was going above the voucher value 2000. But the service is i dont know how they have only delivered the Lenovo Wireless Mouse N3903 (Metal) only. Below is part of mail that I have received after placing the order stating clearly the items and amount I have piad extra.
Item                                                                 Sku               Qty      Subtotal

Discount (DGBPS4XYQUA4R7C)                                                   Rs. 2,000

I really so frustrated with the service. Again since today morning trying their number but no responce. Their cunstomer care executive are so busy handling the customers. I totally agree with you that there is some scam is going on in lenovo and they dont want to give the offer product to customers. It is really bad experience. last time when I got connected to they avoided to give any number or email ID for escalation. I sent the mail to [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected], [email protected]  . you can also try to send the email to the above mentioned Id's , hope it will help you...

Really Disappointed with the Customer Care Services

Hi,
I had purchased a new Lenovo laptop G500(S) on 8.Nov.2013.
Just after 10 days it stopped working and didn’t start at all with or without battery.
I thought it’s a charging problem, so called customer care and they sent a technician for diagnosing the issue.
He gave a report and mentioned to replace the adapter, I got the new adapter within 3 days but the problem was still there.
Surprisingly, I did not get any call after delivery of adapter from Lenovo whether the issue is resolved or not L.
Finally I called the customer care again and explained everything, they concluded that they are sending new motherboard.
I requested them to replace the laptop itself as it’s not even a month and if there is a problem in motherboard that means the laptop is defective.
They gave me a new number saying that they don’t handle such requests and I have to call lencare.
I called at new number, my call was kept on hold for almost an hour and suddenly the phone got disconnected.
I also use another laptop of different brand and it happens with them too, but in such cases they arrange a call back for me if their customer executives are so busy.
Surprisingly, I waited for 2 days an didn’t get any call back from Lenovo.
I tried lencare number again and again but same thing happened that they put me on hold for 1 hour and phone got disconnected.
Finally I called the earlier customer care number, and they gave the same reply that your laptop will be replace without any problem but we can’t take this request.
This time they gave me an email address [email protected], but again no reply from them even after sending the reminder email.
Let me know if you can help.

First this is a technical base forum and we are users just like your self here. With that said your post is agaisnt the terms and use you just agreed to. if you have feed back for apple go to apple.com/feedback. Thank you

Custom Portal Service Scalability and Performance

I want to know if Custom Portal Services are scalable enough to handle 300 concurrent users ?
We are developing custom portal services to consume web service to get response and to send request to an endpoint.
These portal services will be accessed by portal components.
We are expecting around 300 concurrent users.
So whether the custom portal services are scalable ? Does SAP provide support to this kind of architecture ?
thanks in advance

HI,
the portal can support several thousand concurrent users. You only have make a proper sizing (SAPS) and setup your landscape correctly.
As for the custom portal service: of course this is scalable, but the performance depends on your coding skills and what the service will do.
AFAIK SAP offers support for running custom code running on the platform, but not for errors made by the custom code. There is (was, will be) a service from SAP were they check your code for known issues.

Why is BT Customer Care So Bad at Dealing With Com...

More appropriately, BT Customer Care ought to be called the BT Customer Barrier. Its primary function is to defend BT from the problems its customers may be having and its fundamental ethos is that the customer is always wrong.
This is made abundantly clear at the point of initial contact, its internet pages, where the first thing to greet you is the statement that most faults occur within the customer’s own infrastructure. This bizarre assumption is carried right through the extensive faults procedure where each step is directed remorselessly toward persuading the customer to find and fix a fault that without further investigation is undoubtedly on their own premises and of their own making; BT does not admit that faults might occur outside of customer premises or make provision for those who are competent enough to have already carried out these basic checks and want to move on. Neither is there a clear onward step for BT to take ownership of a reported fault after the checking procedure has been completed – again there is an assumption that all faults are the responsibility of the customer. For a persistent customer it leaves the complaints procedure as the only option to progress.
The complaints procedure is another mechanism dominated by the customer-is-always-wrong ethos. The first thing a customer service operator will do is to insist a customer go through the same step by step procedure covered by its internet pages, regardless of whether or not the customer has already done this. Presumably the operator is trained to believe that the customer is incompetent. There is a pre-scripted, condescending and belittling conversation that follows which often involves the customer service operator magically changing from a care representative into a sales representative, offering new packages and various pieces of equipment that he is almost sure will cure the fault. The last resort, if a customer manages to stand firm and turn down all these alluring offers, is for the operator to reassure the customer that everything will be all right if they just be patient and give it a couple of weeks. Then it’s goodbye.
During the lifetime of a fault this procedure will repeat itself several times and each time the customer service operator will behave as if it were the first. BT appears to have no method of gathering useful retrievable information about a specific complaint or sharing it between operators. Eventually frustration and anger from a customer will lead to elevation where the customer is promised a call-back from a BT engineer. Call-backs from BT engineers are not lightly won.
If you are lucky to be promised a call-back you will be given a time slot and an automatic telephoned reminder first thing in the morning while you are still in bed. A pre-recorded voice message from a hugely condescending and suspiciously sceptic female will make sure you are awake and ready for your call, which may not be for several hours. If you are very lucky your call-back will be made, but often they are delayed or forgotten or have not been booked at all. And, of course, it will be your fault.
I know all this because I have been through it on more than one occasion. My latest battering against the BT Customer Barrier began four or five weeks ago after I had meticulously carried out my own checks. For some months I had noticed that BT broadband was either dropping out completely or reducing strength to download speeds that were unusable, sometimes as low as 0.01mbps, but mostly between 1 and 2. This always seemed to coincide with peak times when my BT contract assured me my signal would not fall below 5 or 6. My own checks consisted first of looking closely at my wifi which at the time admittedly was quite weak. I installed a wifi repeater which boosted the signal but did not resolve the problem so I changed my phone filters but this did not resolve the problem either. I tested the line using quiet mode but there was no noise on the line, I changed my router, I repositioned my router, I changed to Ethernet and used only the BT service socket cutting out all intermediate infrastructure in my home, and I tried all of the above whilst turning on and off various devices I thought might affect my broadband signal. Nothing solved the problem.
At this point I fully believed I had covered every possible self-check known to man, but BT felt differently and tried to make me go through them all again. BT then told me it was my router, which I knew it wasn’t, and that I would have to buy a new one, which I already had, so I declined; then they told me that most probably there was work going on in the area that I did not know about, but neither did the operator because when I asked him about it he admitted he did not know if there was work going on in the area or not. I actually admire him for making that bit up; it showed a spark of spirit. Eventually he told me everything would be all right if I was patient and to wait a couple of weeks, and then he said goodbye.
Everything was not all right and after two more weeks, two more emails and two more conversations that had to begin from scratch because BT had forgotten everything I’d said previously, I eventually won my call-back from a BT engineer and an agreed time slot. Only it didn’t happen. I waited for the call but it never came. A call did come, nearly an hour after the allotted time slot, but I was not there having already given up waiting for it. And that was my fault again.
So, what is wrong with BT Customer Care? Well, just about everything to be honest. It is fundamentally flawed from top to bottom. It has a preconceived conviction that the customer is always wrong and does nothing to hide that conviction. From a customer perspective it is like trying to swim up a waterfall. They make you feel so small. BT Customer Care needs dismantling and rebuilding from scratch, it is an appalling, abhorrent and arrogant organisation that ought to be banned from having the name British in its title; I am pro-European and British, and I am ashamed that BT Customer Care can use the same designation, which is less confrontational than it sounds given that it is mostly located in India. It has become the benchmark by which all poor customer service in Britain is measured by, a level of incompetence to avoid. It’s no coincidence that other internet service providers make a major selling point of not having the same customer service setup as BT.
Eventually my call-back came after weeks of trying and BT agreed to monitor my broadband speed to see themselves what was happening – an appropriate course of action I suggested at the outset. No apology because, naturally, I had been wrong to suggest it and it had only become the correct thing to do when they thought of it. They agreed to monitor my broadband speed and to call me back after three days. After only one day I received an email saying that I should monitor my own speed and send them the results. I pointed out that I had already done so, several weeks earlier. I sent them new results. In all the speed test results sent to BT a clear pattern of drop-out and poor signal strength at regular times during the day were obvious. BT then took to calling me back at times when they knew my signal would not be dropping and asking me to run a speed test, thereby proving I was wrong about having a fault on my line.
Fault or no fault, BT Broadband remains unusable for around two hours per day. When this current contract ends I shall be looking for a new provider.

welcome to the BT community forum where customers help customers and only BT employees are the forum mods
By posting on the forum I assume you would like assistance and not just a rant to blow off some anger
you appear to have tried what normally would be suggested but in order for the forum members and/or mods to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router you may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or if HH4/5 then go to troubleshooting then logs and you are looking for 2 line together when hub last connected to internet and they will show your connection speed and noise margin or if netgear enter 192.168.0.1). Then run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems). when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post the results ( do not reset the router).
are you connected directly via a filter to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

Sony Xperia Z1 Water Resistivity false advertising and poor service from service center

I have bought Sony Xperia Z1 from eBay on 31 October 2013. I have been using this phone for nearly a year. The phone was good in performance but comes to water resistivity it will resist water for a few months but after few months even though the card slot and all flops are closed, the water gets in.I have faced this on 7th September when i was about to take a photo in pool, the water gets in and the phone was dead. And i took it to the service center ( Repair and Return Technology (I) Pvt Ltd) Egmore, chennai, on 9th September 2014. On 15th September i got a call that i have to pay nearly 20000 to rectify the phone. Then i called the service center and also sent mail to [email protected] and said that i was not satisfied with the reply. Then few days i again got mail like below
We understand your concern towards the service of your Sony XPERIA Z1.
We had received your Sony XPERIA Z1 at our Authorized Service Centre – M/S Repair and Return Technology, Egmore, vide Work Order No.W114090906449 with the nature of complaint “Cannot Power On”.
Upon physical inspection of the product by our engineers, the phone was found to be damaged due to external cause of liquid regression. As we mentioned in our Warranty Terms and Conditions, this service is not covered under Warranty. The Main Board needs to be replaced for satisfactory working of the product. The estimate for this service is Rs 12,488/- and Service charge is Rs.350/-.

We solicit your kind understanding in this regard.
Thanking you and assuring you of our best services always.
Warm Regards,

They just mention the flags turn red and so the water has got in. They were unable to explain how the water got in. I have seen several forums that many users facing this kind of issues even all the flaps are closed. I was completely stressed and depressed to hear this. I halfheartedly asked the service center to do the service on 1 October 2014. Today's date is 11 October 2014 but still now i haven't heard any update from SONY. When i asked SONY customer care or service center, they dont even know the status of the product, they saying that the phone has been given for service to next level, I have to wait for few days, But i have been waiting for 1 month. I was completely fed up with Sony Service as they are not even called me once regarding this. I have to call each and every time and not even get proper reply. Its very irritating.
If SONY is viewing this do necessary action or else you'll lose a premium customer and more customers in future.
Even though i got the phone how can i use this phone in water ? I completely lost trust in SONY and never buy any SONY product again. I'll go for Micromax next time.
Order No.W114090906449
Sony XPERIA Z1, Model No. C6902,
IMEI No.
I see many users here are suffering the same problem,
Beware of buying Xperia Water resistant products as it may not guarantee waterproof and they don't even give warranty if your phone got water.

Narayanan

I have had the same problem I have wrote to customer services and I keeping the same reply, that the phone has to be less than 1.5 meters, less than half an hour....... blah blah blah.
My phone failed in water and I had met all the conditions but they keep fobbing me off I have asked why they advertise the phone as waterproof when obviously its not. The last reply I got was well it might not be waterproof.
Absolute rubbish the phone and the customer service. and dont get me started on the smartwatch that failed in water as well it never worked I threw it in the bin.

Experience of traveling through Great Britain and Germany with my iPad

I wanted to share my experiences regarding traveling through Great Britain and Germany with my iPad.
It should be noted that my son brought his netbook with iTunes on it so it was simple to get the carrier file for microsims. I think if you are travelling without an additional system for the update, a quick visit to an apple store would take care of it.
*First stop: Scotland/England*
The day after I got to Scotland we found a 3 store. I walked in found a iPad specific sim hanging on the wall, took one and brought it to a rep who took my ten pounds and activated the sim. All in all, it took about five minutes. It popped it in when we got back to the hotel and connected the iPad to my son’s netbook, iTunes popped up, I told it not to sync and then it offered to update the carrier file. I clicked okay and a few minutes later I had 3G up and running with 250 megs of pre-paid data. In my last few days in London I did another 10 pound top-up as we found ourselves relying on the mapping functionality a lot.
Coverage-wise, 3 was quite good. The only places I had problems was when we were on a four-day hike along Hadrian’s Wall where I found the signal coming and going.
All in all it was a great experience and I give it an A.
*Second stop: Germany*
Germany was a completely different thing.
Both Vodaphone and O2 shops do not have sims in stock. You need to pre-order the sims and have them mailed to a German address. On top of that, one of them (I can’t remember which) wanted 25 euro just for the sim. The reps in the store were always unhelpful, many did not even know that iPad sims were available form their respective companies and several mentioned that because “no one wanted an iPad in Germany” they didn’t see the point in carrying the sims. So no 3G in Germany for me.
On top of that, WiFi was not all that common. Even places that advertised free wifi often told us it was currently broken.
So, iPad travel experience in Germany: D-

I just returned from 1 of only 2 carriers(telcel main office only)where I live in Los Cabos, Mexico, I just paid $149 pesos/$11.60 US for a sim and I was told they needed me to bring my ipad in, after about 1 hour they finally gave me my sim, and then said at least 24 hours for activation. There is no easy way from what I have been told to add money/time, you can go to their main office and pay for exactly whatever plan you want, you must return to their office to renew using this method, the other way is to buy a prepaid card and supposedly enter the code into the ipad, but none of the cards denominations correlate with the plans that are offered. I have lived here 20 years so nothing surprises me anymore. It was basically a cluster---, due to the fact nobody seemed to have a clue about the ipad, I jokingly asked if I was their first ipad customer, they said I was their 2nd. So it seems to me, if you had planned to use this "magical ipad" for travels in different countries, you had better make sure you have wifi, or take your laptop instead. I am somewhat disappointed that apple wants to sell millions of these, yet does not make sure their carriers know what is going on. Either I misunderstood all the hype and ad's, or this thing probably is best used only where you know you can receive wifi. I bought 3 ipads, this last one a 3g, I can see I will have to bring my laptop on all travels if I want to be assured of having internet, it seems apple should concentrate a bit more on customer service instead of sales. I will update when and if I get a connection.
buenos suerte…

Open letter to Verizon Wireless Management and Customer No-Services

After more than 10 years as a customer of Verizon Wireless, I have recently encountered several situations that have caused me to begin the process of changing my service provider to another company. Verizon has "zero" loyalty or appreciation of its existing customers; they have poor, and in one particular case, rude customer no-service representatives and policies.
I purchased a new smart phone for my college daughter. Of course, activation of this new phone required the purchase of a data plan, even though she doesn't need or intend to use data services. (That's fine; I was aware of this cost even though I believe it to be over-priced). In addition, they also required a $30 fee for signing a new contract. Seriously? Are you kidding me? A fee for the "privilege" of signing a contract with the big, powerful, arrogant Verizon? I don't want a contract in the first place; it is Verizon that wants the contract. They should pay me for signing a contract. I could understand a fee for a new account setup (not really, but it makes a little sense) but a fee for an existing multi-line, long-time customer where the paperwork is nothing more than a mere mouse click of the "I Agree" button?
So, the daughter gets her new phone with 24 months of data (for the low, low price of 25 months.... yea right). We take her old phone, which she has had for several years, and decide to use it on another of the lines in our family plan because it has a qwerty keyboard. Now, I learn that I have to sign up for a data plan to use this old phone on a different line. This phone has been in service for several years with no data plan but now I have to have a data plan to use it? What the **** ??? I only wanted to use the phone for voice calls and a few texts. I have no need for data. This phone, an ENV3, is not well suited for data services anyway. (No, I won't be using this old phone after all.)
Companies such as yours dream up junk fees; this one amounts to $1.25 per month additional revenue. They do this as a way of increasing revenue while advertising a lower price, ie advertise $30.00 per month but actually charge $31.25. I suppose they all pat themselves on the back and start counting all the new-found money. The management is so stupid and arrogant that they do not realize what the long-term impact could be. In this particular case, the end result shall be the net loss of $250.00 per month in revenue. I know that you don't care; that is painfully obvious and clear.
Well Mr. Verizon, you may consider this to be my official letter of resignation. Consider me gone, done, history. I don't need you, your arrogance, or your over-priced services. I currently pay nearly $250/mo to your company for six phone lines, four of which are "very lightly" used for calls and and a few text only. Personally, on my line, I do nothing but make and/or receive an average of two 3-minute calls per week. I put up with a lot of crap making my money; I do not have to tolerate any when spending it. I WILL be taking ALL my business elsewhere. Four of my lines are currently month-to-month with no contract. I will be moving these to another provider in the coming week. The remaining ones will be moved upon expiration of their respective contracts.
Cheers

Verizon has no obligation to respect your "loyalty." They do, however, have an obligatory fiduciary duty to their investors, hence the "upgrade" fees, "line access" fees, "regulatory recovery" fees, data plan "repuirements", and data caps, none of which are intended to buy YOU anything. They are assessed primarily to provide profits to them and dividends to their investors, along with a source of capital expenditure for their network expansion whose sole purpose is to attract more customers to provide more revenue streams to meet their aforementioned fiduciary duty to serve their executives and investors ever greater profits and dividends. And in this country, that is ALL this wireless game is about. EVERYTHING else, be it customer service, value of service, loyalty or anything else, is secondary.
And you think other carriers are any different? Nope. They all are in this for the exact same game, however they choose to play it, plan for plan, fee for fee. Sure, details differ, some plans might look more appealing and for some, prudent shopping around might even net some nominal cost savings, but all in all, they pretty much charge the same fees and require the same data plans, because that's where the big bucks are, and one way or another you will pay them or you will do without (which might be a blessing in disguise).
I personally don't like this any more than you do, and I would favor strong federal regulatory oversight much as they have in Europe Latin America and Asia, along with homogenized network infrastructure which stimulates competition by allowing easy interoperability of phones and devices irrespective of carrier, but I fear it will be a cold day in hell before we ever see the likes of that here. According Republican thinking, that's just not the "American Way."

hi, my name is hem(personal info removed) from ahmedabad.
i m feeling like a fool after buying a blackberry curve 9220 white handheld from snapdeal. i received the phone in the last week of april'13 and on 31st may'13 my phone got dead. i submitted to the service centre in ahmedabad @ mithakali on 3rd june'13(WORK ORDER NO. - (personal info removed)223). i have been told that it needs to be sent to bangalore and will be back in aroung 15-20 days. still i have not received my phone. no one from blackberry is responding to me. from service centre ms. shweta told me that it will take one week - the same reply since last two weeks. mr. chintan has cooperated well on the no.((prsonal info removed)70). mr. chintan said that this service centre does not belongs to him so he has given me one more contact no. of mr. pravin - (personal info removed).
i m trying to get connect to this no. since last two days. this no. is either busy or not getting replied. i tried this no. in last two days for more than 50 times atleast. today mr. chintan has given me one more no. of mr. prashant ((personal info removed)13). he asked me for the WO no. and told me that some one will get back to me. i got a call from mithakali service centre and same reply - one more week. now mr. prashant is also not replying my phone. i m really not understanding a phone like blackberry which i hardly used for 4 weeks is lying with service centre since almost last four weeks. now in no way this phone is acceptable to me. now this long message is my last hope. i hope to recieve at least a reply as this is the longest message i have ever drafted in my life and that too for a bloody phone like blackberry. black service and black associates.
Regards,

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
As a user-to-user community, no one here can answer your question with any level of authority whatsoever. BlackBerry provides zero front line support to end users, including warranty...all support starts with the carriers, authorized resellers, and authorized service centers, all who can escalate cases into BlackBerry at no charge to the end user.
So, your escalation path is not here, in these forums. Rather, it is through your service center and/or place of purchase...even if they may have so far been unhelpful. You have no free path by which to bypass them, and should be escalating to their management levels.
There is something called incident support, but it costs to just ask the initial question, since you are bypassing the contract you signed upon purchase. If you wish to investigate that, you can review it here:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/programs/technical/incident.html
There also might be some good reading here:

Good luck!

BADI MB_MIGO_BADI not updating custom field in MSEG Table

Dear Experts,
I am working on screen exit In MIGO transaction for transfer Posting.
I checked that BADI MB_MIGO_BADI having facility for screen exit and method line_modify having facility to change GOITEM Structure for the changed line item.
Now, to make this functionality work I have enhanced include structure CI_COBL which is available in both mseg table and goitem structure, now I have this customized fields on my custome tab through the enhancement and also to update this value 2 custom fields created in goitem structure and MSEG table through include structure CI_COBL.
Here my question is at the time of transfer posing creation in MIGO when I am passing the value in custom fields through screen and assigning it to custom fields of structure GOITEM through LINE_MODIFY method, it is giving me below worning message
BADI: Field GOITEM-ZZIDNLF is not ready for input. (Change is not taken over)
Now I have debuged the code, also checkout many threads and came to know that because of few checks in standred program (iNCLUDE:LMIGOKL3) these fields will not be updated WHERE IT always checks whether these fields are ready for input or not and if not ready then instead of assigning the values it throws worning message.
Now can you please through some light how can I go ahead as I have check out many threads and also tried to change value of cs_goitem structure using field symbol but throughing dump that it is blocked against changes through field symbol.
The helpful answers will be highly appriciated.

Hi,
In the badi mentioned by you GOITEM is the importing parameters & if the relevant field is not used in any MIGO screen you cannot change the data.
Please check example BADI interface: IF_EX_MB_MIGO_BADI~LINE_MODIFY
Please check the BADI documentation:
Changed data in GOITEM is only adopted if the relevant fields are visible and ready for input.
Changed data in GOITEM is not adopted if the relevant field is not used in any MIGO screen (warning via MIGO 049).
Changed data in GOITEM is not adopted if the relevant fields are not ready for input (warning via MIGO 050)
Thanks and Regards,
Chandra
