Z2 - Microphone broken AGAIN

Second time having a useless microphone no one can hear me again, so have to yet again send the phone in for repair at a my own expense and time. Great fun Sony. 
I am havin trouble affording an alternative phone that allows me to test mobile apps I'm developing and get my work emails, so my question is can sony just go ahead and send me an advanced rma replacement, while I send in this obviously fubar phone? Other companies have done this for RMA, they hold your credit card details just incase you don't send them anything in exchange so they can charge you. It works well and takes away some of the inconvenience of having to RMA a product that SHOULD have been delivered working.
I have no faith in them being able to actually repair the microphone since they CLAIMED to fix it last time, and all that was different was a slight chip on the front by the speaker (thanks for that Sony!).
So is there any way I can either get an advanced RMA, or just a full refund so I can get an alternative phone model that actually works as a phone?
It's a real shame, I've always bought sony products as the quality has been great, I'm less than impressed with the Z2 quality and would never buy a sony phone again to be honest unless they completely changed their quality check procedures

  • Where can I get a 3rd party mouse pad for my HP Pavilion dv6 - left mousepad button broken again!

    Broken AGAIN and just out of warranty.  I had this replaced at 9 months and now it's broken again (at 15 mths) with light/moderate usage.  I've seen lots of posts about this issue both on and off the HP forum.  Please can you tell me where I can get a replacement mousepad that I can install myself. 
    Thanks.

    The touchpad is part of the whole top cover so it is going to require a significant disassembly. The above is likely not your correct part either, but the top cover for all dv6's ought to be available on ebay for $50-80. Here is the Service Manual:

  • Internet Sharing broken again with 10.6.8 update?

    I have used Internet Sharing for years.  (SysPrefs/Sharing/Internet Sharing/Share your connection from [Ethernet] to computers using [Airport]).  It is very useful in my large old house, where my iMac is connected by an ethernet cable to a WiFi router in another part of the house; it gives me another WiFi zone without having to buy a WiFi extender.
    This seems to be a forgotten feature in the OS (forgotten by Apple, that is).  Several times in the last few years, it has "broken" ie ceased to work after an OS upgrade, and only worked again after either another upgrade to the OS or to Airport.  The last time, upgrading to OS 10.6.7, it still worked but had an annoying but tolerable bug which required me to switch it off then on again after a restart.
    I have just upgraded to 10.6.8 and it seems to be broken again.  (iPad etc can see the network, pretend to join it, but don't actually connect to the internet).
    Anyone else got the same problem?
    Anyone at Apple reading this?
    Maybe I should just go and buy another WiFi extender (they're a lot cheaper now) and stop trying to use my Mac to do this!

    My wife's new(ish) MacBook Air had the wifi problem. As soon as she upgraded to 10.6.7, she lost internet connection - though wifi signal was still strong. We were hoping the new upgrade to 10.6.8 would fix the problem. It didn't. I tried everything - PRAM, disk permission repairs, etc etc. Finally, this evening, on a whim, I decided to input my old DNS settings (from when I was using the Witopia VPN) into her network settings. I have no idea why, but her connection returned immediately. I tried deleting them again to make sure it really was that, and the connection was lost. Put them back, and the internet came back. Bizarre. We are not even using Witopia anymore (we are in China, and use Asterill). Can anyone explain what's happening?
    Thanks!

  • Shortkey for logout now broken again since 3.5.1

    BUG REPORT
    We used to be able to logout from a client computer using the normal shortcut CMD-SHIFT-Q.
    It sits in the bones and I quickly do this when I'm leaving a service session with a client computer
    Since 3.5.1 my computer tries to log me out from my admin computer rather than logging me out from the client computer.
    ARD admin should pass the logout short-cut to the client computer, not let it go to the admin computer.
    It was broken in 3.2 or 3.3 and got fixed later ut now it's broken again
    /Per Mattsson

    This occurrs any time I press the volume rocker key to mute the ring of an incoming call.  After the initial time when it played an extremely brief snippet of my ringtone (factory installed "Older Phone" ringtone), it has randomly switched between the short ringtone and a electronic squeal noise.
    Since I know the slightest software change can kill a seemingly unrelated feature, I'll try to be as detailed as possible.  For my phone setup, it is completely stock (phone no.5 after misc. slider/screen/charger door issues, haven't had time to change anything yet) My ringtone volume is set to maximum with vibrate also on, system sounds are also set to maximum with the default tone. I have no non-app catalog programs or patches installed.  I use a Touchstone back cover, although the phone was not on the charger when I noticed the issue.  
    The only downloaded apps on the phone are Pandora, Tip 'em!, Stop Watch, Fandango, Good Food, Mileage Monitor and gDial Pro (which has not been set up yet).  With the exception of Pandora, none of these apps have been used since I received this replacement phone.  They were all just automatically downloaded because my previous phone had them.  I have e-mail accounts through Cox, Yahoo, and Gmail, none of which are synced to contacts, calendars, messaging or tasks.  I do have my Palm profile and EAS through my work in a full sync capacity.
    Hope this helps.

    It seems the iPhone before the update was not officially unlocked from the carrier it is locked to. Which would mean it had been unlocked to use on your carriers sim by jailbreaking(hacking) or by using third party hardware.

  • HP Scan to Email App is Broken Again

    The Scan to Email App is Broken Again!
    Printer: HP6700 Officejet Premium
    I kept having the dreaded "Cannot cannot to the Internet" error when trying to use the Scan to Email App
    The app has been working fine for a few months; there were no changes to the system, and then, it just stopped working - again.
    I've stopped and re-started Web Services, gone thru the Wirless Network Setup again, and re-registered the printer with HP Connect.  I've also removed and then added the Print to Email App again.
    Now when I try to set-up the Scan to Email App and try to enter the PIN that was emailed to me I get:
    Internal Processing Error
    Please let me know how to fix this!!
    Thanks :-)

  • HBOGO login system broken AGAIN

    OMG why is the HBO GO authentication system broken AGAIN... after months of successful use, when logging in, you get the error message "you need an HBO subscription" ... of course i have had a subscription for a long time...  this error happens every few months.. no one at verizon can help you... you just have to wait until someone at fios notices something is wrong and they fix it... so I am posting this to make some noise!!! PLEASE FIX

    I have been unable to log into hbogo now for the last 2 days. I've been using it for months and now it's saying I need to subscribe to HBO in order to use the service.  I'm obviously already subscribed, so there is a problem with the login authentication.
    Please fix this Verizon.

  • My one year warranty expired recently, a month ago my charger was replaced under warranty and it has only lasted a month and has broken again, does the replacement charger come with a new warranty or will i have to buy a new one?

    Bought the phone on contract last January (late in january), had my charger replaced just after christmas and now it has stopped working again, its been about a month and a half and the replacement charger is broken, does the replacement charger come with a new warranty or will I have to buy a new charger? And if so, is there a charger that doesn't break easily (my problem is the the wire at the phone end of the cable seems to bunch and twist etc.)
    thanks.

    a warranty replacement if the donor is out of warranty has a new 90 days warranty from exchange date 

  • "Scan to Email" app broken again

    Once again the "Scan to Email" app (Link) is broken on my HP Officejet 6500A Plus. 
    Here is a picture of the displayed error message:
    The printer has network/internet connectivity and the ePrint function works just fine. So that can't be the issue. 
    Also I already tried to reboot the printer as well as disconnect the power and plug it back in. 
    A few month ago I had a similar issue which was fixed afer 1-2 weeks by HP. See here for the threat from back then. 
    Altogether this is the 4th time this year, that the functionality broke. It's pathetic for a company like HP that they can't keep such a simple service up and running.
    Can someone from HP please look at the service health and fix it again?
    Could you also implement basic monitoring, so that you actually realize when the service is down?
    Is someone else having this issue?

    Come on HP! Is this really the way to treat your customers? 
    This functionality has been down for a month now and I still don't see anyone attempting to address this.
    This is really poor!

  • Movie trailers broken again

    Yet again Movie trailers are broken. I've just updated to 10.3.1 of iTunes and when I attempt to goto the Movie Trailers page I get the cannot connect message.
    I really don't understand why the Movie Trailers section keeps getting broken all the time.

    I haven't updated, and I am also unable to access the Trailers section.

  • Expose broken again

    Once again, Expose is broken, using the killall dock command does not help, rebooting several times does not help. Magnification of the dock is broken, names of dock items is broken, magnification of time machine history is broken. I use no screensaver other than apple, but, have determined, this occurred right after the new safari and itunes update. also noticed the stars in time machine are moving in a jagged pattern instead of smooth. once again, i am going to do an OS reinstall to fix the issue with apples own software. Is anyone else having this annoying problem, and do you have a different fix than reloading the OS, again.

    Update: last night I performed and erase and install. I created two partitions, breaking the former partition. Installed Leopard on both partitions. Created two new users on both partitions. restored my old user to one partition, rebooted and updated to 10.5.7. This might be a bit confusing, the bottom line is: I have one partition fully clean and not updated, and one partition with my user crap and updated to 10.5.7.
    Okay, so when I boot to either partition or any user, the issue persists. Expose will not work. The magnifier on the dock fails along with the dock icon names not showing. Believe me, I am not use any other screen saver that what is offered by Apple, and then I only use the "computer name" saver.
    So, I made an appointment for the apple store today. Because, software wise, the issues should not have been carried forward to the clean partition, nor, the other 4 new accounts I created. I would have thought, that if the ram went bad, I would have far more issues. Could this really be related to a bad location on the drive. Which, in all my expertise, I don't know if the install DVD places these files in the same location every time we re-install, if there is an OS expert out there maybe they can enlighten me. I have heard of this in the Windows world, that the same file is always written to the same location every time, by the OS install.
    Also, I notice, that when at the netflix sight, the popups about each movie no longer work, just as the popups on the dock icons don't work.
    I did perform a disk check when doing the erase and install, my DVD checked out okay.

  • My Toshiba L305 - Both Buttons Broken (AGAIN) - TOSHIBA DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS

    So my left button broke (i didn't do anything) and so since it was under warranty, I was directed to a local authorized repair shop and they had to order the whole new keyboard that includes the little piece of junk plastic piece underneath the button. They fixed it the same day as I watched them and they did a perfect job. They also showed me the little cheap, litte, junky little piece of plastic that supported both buttons and that broke in my case. We both concluded that of course it would break again. Anyway, time goes by and the inside of the power piece broke off. So we go through the same routine. I go to the repair shop, they fix it and they say its common. In this case they even somehow strenghtened it so it would not happen again! So more time goes by (still under the year warranty as of Dec 21, 2009). Now, both my buttons again no longer work (big suprise). So since it is still under warranty, I call Toshiba but now they are saying they changed the rules since two Mondays ago and that I can no longer take it to that local authorized repair center (even though they rocked) but now I have to send in my laptop to Toshiba's official repair center. Needless to say, i wouldn't get my laptop back for 10 days. I run my business from my laptop so how on earth can I send it in? Anyway, I fought a lot with them on the phone and even got to the 'top' of the customer relations department, a frustrated lady named Mina,  but she says there is nothing else they can do. No loaner, no replacement, can't get my money back, etc. The only thing I can do is send in my work laptop and not have it for 10 days. So what is ironic is I purchased a Toshiba laptop because I heard they were one of the best made computers. I now know that I was GREATLY misinformed. This is the worst situation I have ever seen in a computer business. The good news is that I am in IT and have lots of clients and so now I have the priviledge of telling my clients to run from Toshiba. I write all this for any of you out there who may have the same problem (because I am positive there will be many more since it is a tiny little piece of plastic underneath your buttons). It is clear to me that this is a defect.
    My two big problems with this whole thing:
    1. How can anyone expect someone to not have their laptop that they use to run a business for 10 days?
    2. Why even have it fixed it if is just going to brake again?
    3. So because of the 3 defects of this computer, now Toshiba is punishing me further! 
    If anyone is reading this who is thinking about buying a toshiba laptop, DON'T DO IT. Save yourself a lot of time, frustration and punishment from the company called, 'Toshiba'. Go with a Dell. Go with anything other than Toshiba.  I will say it again: Tosbiba laptops are defective and Toshiba's policies show that they clearly don't care about the customers!

    At least Toshiba is covering your repairs under Warranty.  My ex-wife's new HP had one of the touchpad buttons break on her system and they want $400 bucks to fix it claiming that physical damage like that isn't covered. 
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.
