Not sure what the deal is with HTC they dug up everyone's yard and we're installing new cables and was supposed to make service better well it been horrible and can't stay connected to wifi. Not to mention when they dug the yard up they didn't lay the grass back correctly fixed some of it myself and had them come back out to fix another spot they dug up and didn't lay back down correctly. Now again no wifi. Worst service ever!

Indescribably bad, untrustworthy, ignorant, incompetent. You tear your hair out. Even escalating complaints takes you in circles to the first person you ever dealt with. No transparency whatsoever.

In early November of 2017 I began having difficulty with my HTC 10 in keeping connected to WiFi. By mid-November I could not connect to WiFi at all. No problem, I had purchased the replacement protection, so I contacted customer support on November 22, 2017 for a swap.

On November 23, 2017, HTC sent me tracking information for my replacement phone along with instruction on what to do once it arrived. I waited. I see a hold charge appear on my credit card. I waited. Waited a little more. I check the tracking number on December 4, 2017 and see the replacement phone hasn't even shipped yet.

I call customer service who says they don't know what's going on and say they'll hand this over to an expediter, a guy named GENO. This GENO will be getting back to me with details. Ok, fine.

A week goes by. I call customer service. They tell me that only Geno can help me, and that they'll bang him off an email to contact me. Well, 5 days after that Geno does call me, gives me the "we're a bit back-logged please be patient, I will personally make this right." Fine, thanks GENO, keep me updated when you can.

Long story short, I have been calling HTC 2-3 times a week now for the last 45-DAYS trying to find out where my replacement phone is. All I get is "GENO is aware. GENO will be getting back to you. GENO is handling this case", etc, etc, etc. Where's GENO?? I don't know. I'm beginning to think that one and only communication I've had with GENO was a figment of my imagination.

I have been hearing for 45-DAYS now that Geno will be giving me a call, an email, a carrier pigeon, a back-rub, whatever. NOTHING.

Zero communication from HTC, which is really all I'm asking for. Zero Customer Service. It's so disappointing. I've been a loyal HTC customer, along with my immediate family, since 2009. I've sung their praises, recommended their products, and thought I had that whole mobile phone thing covered so long as they continued to make them.

No more. I'm done. Over two months to get a replacement phone and still waiting. No communication, everything has been generated on my end. It took them two seconds to charge my card and then they just sort of swept the whole thing under the carpet.

This has been on of the worst customer service experiences with a defective product I've had in recent memory.

Buyer Beware.

HTC is bad i bought mine a couple months ago and out of nowhere the phone screen just freezes out of nowhere

My husband purchased what HTC thinks is the best thing since sliced bread, the fabulous U11. Truth be told it was the biggest and most expensive piece of garbage to hit the market. This was his 3rd HTC phone, never had any issues with prior phones. This one stopped working within weeks of receiving it. Instead of exchanging it or refunding it we had to send it in to be repaired. It has been 2 months and from what I can gather it hasn't been diagnosed yet, let alone undergone any repairs. You can call and call, but you get no information and no returned phone calls. I've called call centers and the corporate office with and still don't have any info and no idea if they will even call me back. I think it's headed to small claims court. They have basically stolen almost $700.00 from us because we have no product and no assurances from anyone that we will have a phone anytime in the near future. BUYER BEWARE. I'm not rolling over on this one though. I don't care if I have to call every 15 minutes of everyday. Crooks

Horrible service - faulty phone has been repaired 4 times and still not working they want to repair it again

This has been a complete and utter Sh*t Show.

I started trying to contact HTC Support to get one of my HTC VIVE controllers repaired two months ago, so I sent them an email. After waiting a few days and getting no response, I tried the live chat, but it was closed, so I sent another email. Then another. Then another.

Finally, after two full weeks, I got into a live chat, and got a ticket started. They noted my problems and got my information, then proceeded to ask me to pay for my own shipping, which would be fine if it wasn't $30.

I had a tracker on the package (Which was only $2), and saw that it arrived on the 30th, the deadline for my ticket, so I waited.

A few days later, with no updates, I sent them an email. Then another. Then another. Finally, 20 days later, the live chat was open, so I went into it and started talking to a support rep. After a substantial amount of talking, they claimed that my package arrived on the 31st, one day late, so they decided to just set my package aside and forget about it.

Frustrated, I asked the service rep to get it repaired ASAP because I just wanted to play with my Vive, which I had spent f*cking $800 on, and they told me that they would move it on as soon as possible.

Fast forward a week, a box arrived at my doorstep containing my controller, which was still completely broken and unrepaired.

I assumed that it was just an error, but I had payed for shipping, so I was p*ssed, to say the least, so I started sending emails every single day, just trying to get in contact with somebody, until 5 days later, I finally got an email. It was confirming that they received my controller and were preparing to send it back.

I was furious at this point. Not only was the controller just sent back with no repairs without my consent, but they also explicitly decided to just ship it back instead of actually looking at it first. I kept sending emails every single day because the live chat was STILL completely unavailable, until I finally got into one today.

Today, they told me that they A: couldn't guarantee that they would pay for shipping the second f*cking time, and B: told me that I now have to WAIT TWO MORE DAYS before I can even get a response to a F*CKING LIVE CHAT.

I'm extremely P*ssed off at this point. I paid $800 for my HTC Vive, and I paid $30 for my own shipping, and they didn't even have the decency to look at the controller, which I've been without for 2 months, and I'm just right back to square one.

I still haven't even gotten a response from the emails I sent 2 months ago.

If you have a choice, go with any company other than HTC. I don't care how good their products are, their support is some of the most horribly unacceptable bullsh*t I have ever seen. They don't seem to care about your time or money, and don't seem to care even slightly about their customers.

HTC does not get any star ratings from me there phones are a piece of crap my husband had the phone for 1 month and it started HTc phone there are so many bad reviews out there

I sent my phone in the first time on Apr 7th and it took three weeks for me to receive my replacement phone, which is a pretty long down time but at least it came. However, the replacement phone received was a defective one with a very loose charge port and malfunctioning speakers. I had to send that phone in again on May 1st and I have been waiting for my replacement phone since. I've tried contacting HTC 5 times since and no one is able to offer me anything other than, "We are waiting for the replacement phone". I was promised this time the turnaround would only take 5 business days but it has now been 7 weeks since. They are not willing to do anything about it (send a new phone to me instead of a refurbished one) or compensate me in any way and I am just stuck waiting. Obviously, I have already purchased a replacement phone. This is the worst warranty/customer service experience I have ever had with any company. I have had 3 HTC phones over the last 7 years and I will not be buying another HTC product again.

This is a detailed review to show how unprofessional these employees are! You have to go to customer service chat to ask questions and receive a ticket to send your phone. There is an email option, but you will NEVER get a reply. I had to switch between a few representatives because none of them wanted to help - they didn't reply in chat, wouldn't put a ticket in, poor English, or they dared got an attitude. I finally got a rep that cooperated, so I sent my phone in early January. Waiting several weeks later, I get an email of the payment quote in the middle of February. First, they coded my phone in as an M8 when it was in fact a One A9. That seems suspicious to me, how can the repairmen code a phone in wrong when they are going to FIX it? I will not pay $300 for them to repair my phone as something else, which the price is also ridiculous for a motherboard that I can get for $10 online. I sent an email when I received the quote (at 3 AM, chat not available), and asked if my phone could be held because I could not pay at the time. No reply after 3 days, but I receive an email stating that my phone was being send back. (You have two weeks to send the phone in & pay when you receive the quote). I went to chat with another rep about this issue, but she was of no help. Surprisingly, they mailed my phone back fast! Their packaging was just a thin plastic container with tape to secure the phone from moving, no bubble wrap or anything to protect the phone from damaging. Why can they NOT communicate between each other? Why can they NOT be clear with their actions? This company is deceiving and sketchy. You pay too much for what their phones are not really worth.

I purchased a HTC 10 through Sprint with one of those leasing plans in July. My phone just stopped working for no reason, so I thought the Uhh Ohh protection would be a great idea. So I sent my barely used, in perfect condition phone to HTC. Last Saturday I received back a Frankenstein phone, spent 5 hrs on the phone with sprint trying to activate the phone. The meid and imei were completely different numbers instead of being one number off. I finally talked to a 3 rd level engineer and he said no way this phone can be added to sprints database because even though it boots up and says sprint it is a gsm phone not cdma, he told me to call htc and tell them so send another phone. So I did and they told me their rma dept was not open until Monday. Instead of shipping me a new phone. So I called first thing Monday and they submitted a ticket to their escalation dept and told me I would hear back in 3-5 days!!!! No I am not joking any other company would have next dayed a phone because they screwed up. Not HTC!!!Oh and the lady asked me if I bought my phone at Walmart and if it was prepaid no it was a sprint phone that's what I sent you. What you sent back is not my phone at all.It is now a week later and I still have not heard from them, I still don't have a phone that works and I am still paying for a phone. Anyone have any advice???? This is ridiculous, how does a company treat its customers like this?

TOTALLY SHOCKED!

Called up HTC to complain about the purple camera issue that just prop up on my M7.

They say will change free.

So bring to HTC service center.

They say must pay S$32.10 for service fee.

Took the opportunity to change battery as well since it's S$50+ minus the S$32.10 service fee.

HTC service center called me disnogis must change whole motherboard.

I say my board no issue just camera.

They say must psy S$295 to change motherboard then they will cahnge the camera.

I am SHOCKED!

I asked, ok, i don't change anything, can i just take back my phone.

They say they will check.

Oh My God!

I almost went ahead to buy M10 thinking their service so good.

In the end, got fooled around so professionally by HTC.

This will confirm definitely be my last HTC related phone!

I have htc m9+ finger print sensor is not working however they are asking for 8 to 10 days for. I have already kept my phone for more then 15 days for repair work. I do not wish to keep my phone for more then a day. So I would like to make complaint against this fraud company... htc service centres sucks

I have been using HTC one M7 its battery back up was worst. I have been going to all HTC service centres to resolve this issue but they said they wont provide service to HTC one m7 models. I dont understand why they r selling mobiles when they wont provide service. Such a worst experience and its a worst brand better dont go for it.

When my m8 looses power and I power it back up the home sense feature stops working. This has happened 3 times in the last few weeks. It's time for me to upgrade my phone in which I was aiming for the m10 but after this last error I'm done with HTC. I've lost so many projects because of this stupid phone.
Lost all my notes time and time again.
I wish I never ever purchased this phone. I'm usually a loyal customer to whom ever company I choose but I can't deal with this hectic company/phone anymore thanks for nothing.

I recently completed a hardware update on my HTC. Prior to the update everything was functional, now the things I like most DO NOT WORK.

The vibrate no longer functions, the words disappeared on volume control not to mention half the options. The changes I made to save space by uninstalling programs gave been installed and can't be removed. What the f%%k how do I get the older version back . It also took away the remove all on the navigation page the little circle with an x. This sucks. It all was there prior. I am very unhappy no I am f%%%ing furious. I want all the the way ur was.

Posted by HTC doesn't treat their customer


My phone had some issues and required a reset.

I backed up all the data using "backup now" - did it several times to make sure.

When the reset was done and tried to restore, it stated "no back up data". It lost everything!!!

I called the phone carrier and they couldn't help. I called HTC and the rep told me that he did the same thing himself and it worked perfectly. I asked him where the backed up data went and he did not answer - all he said was that since it says no backed up data, then there's nowhere.

It is their back-up service and they even cannot tell where it went, or if it's working correctly. He even said that everything is fine and I was the only one who encountered such problem.

I asked his name because I wanted to escalate the issue. As soon as I asked his name, he hang up. Hang up! Is it a customer rep? Why does HTC even hire such irresponsible rep?

I bought a HTC desire 610 in June of 2015, I loved the phone. I ended up in the hospital for emergency service, I had my phone with me. Well the phone died. By this I mean it would do nothing. I am the hospital so my daughter took back to where I had purchased the phone please keep in mind the phone was still under warranty,however the salesman said their was nothing he could do, however my daughter could buy me another phone. She did that because she trusted the salesman even though that was handled in the most improper way. After my release I tried to handle this matter but kept getting the run around from the place I bought it. The worst is yet to come you your company HTC were of no help to me either. The warranty run out in June so you took no responsibility for the product that you make and sale.I paid $300.00 for that phone which didn't last one year. I took very good care of that phone it looks brand new. Not a single flaw could be found on the phone. I want to the you for your kind and caring service

RE: HTC Desire 626 S cell phone

Our daughter has Autism. She accidentally pattern locked her HTC 626S Desire phone. We called our service provider, TMOBLE who had recently changed the cell phone number - and subsequently had us reset the phone - walking us through each step. Unfortunately, Google would not accept that new cell number change and we then it caused Google to "locked up" - no matter what we tried, Google wouldn't accept the new cell number and the Tmobile never warned us we needed to remove that Google account or update it BEFORE the reset so it was really locked but good. Tmobile then called Google and after hours on the phone, on hold and explaining, we were told to wait 48 hours and try again - all would be fine. Well it wasn't fine at all. The phone was still in a Google lock. We then were told to call HTC and after hours and 4 separate phone calls to HTC we were told the only option was to send the phone in, to have it unlocked by HTC, they could do absolutely nothing to unlock it or help otherwise. At this point we had already been unable to use the phone and were out of the phone for over 30 days. We set up a ticket to send the phone in to be unlocked per the HTC instruction and received a label via email to return the phone to HTC. I also called back to complain to our service provider, Tmobile, because I was angry that they had actually caused this issue by neglecting to tell us, as they walked us thru each step, about a possible Google lock situation. They had the tech at Tmobile try once more to unlock the phone and In less than 1 minute Tmobile had the phone unlocked and operating perfectly.
I then called HTC to tell them we no longer needed to send the phone in, and asked HTC why it was that Tmobile could walk us thru unlocking the phone so quickly - yet HTC couldn't? HTC makes the phone, so I didn't understand that aspect at all. I was also upset that I had had to wade through 4 separate calls to HTC, initially to attempt to even correct the issue - including endless time waiting on hold. The horrific customer service - with thick accents, so I was barely able to understand them. With the language issue, they didn't fully understand why I was even calling. They did not listen fully to what I was saying before they assumed the wrong conclusion. They were not helpful at all in any capacity. What made the entire experience even worse was the HTC outrageous MUZAK that is played during the long "wait on hold" time of over 2 hours, with each call, and the last call where I had to wait on hold over 4 hours!!! That music is completely mind numbing techno, it just made it that much more agitating, plus I got nowhere with tech support after all that time! Once I finally had reached someone, and I finally got the message through that I no longer would need to send the phone in to be unlocked, I told them about the 4 HOURS on hold time that day, and how ridiculous that was. I asked about a model number or order number for a new charger and cord for the phone, the HTC Desire 626 S cord and charger we had was not working. I asked about the price and told them it is not available on their website at all. There are actually no charger and cords available on the HTC website. I told the tech at HTC that I had found chargers and cords for the HTC Desire 626S on Amazon, but the reviews, from customers, reported that the charger and cord that is sent from Amazon is in fact NOT a factory/OEM cord and charger and does not work correctly. I wanted the OEM cord and charger and asked for the price and part # to order one.
This customer service tech from HTC, named "ES ROLL" who I finally reached, stated they were so sorry for all the trouble I had in trying to resolve the issue, and they were going to send me the charger and the cord I was asking about, "completely free of charge for all the trouble I had". They would be sending a "confirmation email and she was ordering the cord AND charger now". I would be getting the confirmation email, "within 24 hours". I did get an email stating that someone would be contacting me soon, in fact 3 of those same emails...but no other contact, no confirmation other than that, and no phone call. I also got No cord and charger either by the way.
I called again on the following dates, AND emailed each and every time too! On: 04/14/16, and again no confirmation so I called back on 4/15/16, and 4/29/16. On 5/5/16, after 3 hours on hold and then a person who kept saying I need to send the cell phone in because it needs to be unlocked and no matter how many times I explained it, their accent was so thick and the language barrier was so bad, I finally got angry and hung up. I called back on 5/6/16. This time after 3 and one half hours on hold, I reached a tech. The tech apologized again, found in the notes that the cord plus charger was supposed to be sent. The tech could not figure out why it was ordered, but never shipped. He said they were sorry and it would be shipped out tomorrow! He said they had no answer why it was ordered, but never shipped. I thanked him. On 5/29/16, I called again because IT NEVER WAS SENT! NOT THE CORD OR CHARGER!!!! I called in again. This time they said they saw where it was ordered, and ordered a second time, but again, it was never shipped they would have a supervisor call or email within 24 hours..and guess what? NO CALL-NO EMAIL. I called again on 5/30/16, 6/1/16, 6/5/16 and 6/10/2016 NO CONFIRMATION EMAILS, NO PHONE CALLS FROM ANY SUPERVISOR AND NO CORD/CHARGER!
Today is 06/17/2016. Keep in mind the original date of this ordeal was 04/14/16 !!!!! It has now been over two months!!!!! I still have NO CORD , NO CHARGER and NO ANSWERS! Today after being on hold over an hour, I got a snarky customer service person on the phone. She went through the entire story even though I kept asking for a supervisor. She then switched me to her supervisor and I again waited on hold one hour and a half. She picked up the phone and said she was now switching me to her supervisor, I waited for another 40 mins. She then picked up the phone, listened, and I could hear her breathing. She then HUNG UP ON ME ! After all that time on hold !!!
Then I called the corporate office and that phone wouldn't even ring. So in conclusion, after today's call to HTC, I am convinced that the horrible music that is played, while the customer is on hold, is played purposely to aggravate people and make them hang up. This way HTC doesn't have to deal with its customers! THAT tactic and ignoring me - will not work for me. I am a fair person and THIS treatment is UNFAIR! So this is offer to you and your company. CALL ME BACK IMMEDIATELY, AND RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. If the world was flooded with piss, and HTC was the only tree salesman in the world..I would drown first!

Hopeless,Trashy,Crap.DO NOT BUY HTC CRAP.DONTbother emailing support.0 customer support.2 months of emailing.not one acknowledgement from them bar computer generated message immediately after sending to them.almost impossible to right messages with word suggestion etc on.never had a problem with any other phone.never had to enter so many basic words to dictionary.even when you write initials it changes it to different initials.write a name like ryobi.it changes it to senses.its like theres a little htc halfwit in my phone making sure they screw me over every way possible.then theres the update.as not one person has given it the thumbs up and it screwed my phone up when i first downloaded it.i had to do factory reset to get my phone to work.support probably would have recommended that if there was support.now i just get bombarded with thennotification of it.tried force closing it by holding finger on notification to bring up info.press on that brings up app settings but notification tick is greyed so only option is force close.slows down the notification coming thru but why would they insist on trying to get us to download somdthing thry acknowledge is crap.maybe to blame there substandard crap on the update.think htc still back in times of the first windows phone.they should have picked the diamond window

We had an issue with sudden loss of cable channels at our rental unit in the Barefoot Resort yesterday. After 2 unsuccessful calls and unhelpful yesterday, we tried again this morning. NICK, was absolutely fantastic in assisting us. He walked us through each step slowly, waited while each step was completed, and was extremely competent at his job. Friendly, courteous and professional. It was a pleasure speaking with him. We can't thank him enough.

I mailed my phone into the repair center in Memphis Tn . 2 days later I check status knowingithadnt been repaired but to make sure it had arrived. Well the information wasnt correct so I called. I start to get the run around until I inform them that I know its there due to UPS and whom signed for it. Then the person wanted me to make a new repair ticket claiming I had missed my 30 day repair ticket, Once I ask if I should email him my email from the repair center showing dates, he saidhe had to clear this through main office. So I just let him know about all the bad reviews that I had read and my phone better be repaired at no cost due to it was only 10 months old. So needless to say after all that my phone was repaired at no cost to me and in a quick manner. I mailed it with UPS on 11/12/2015 it arrived at repair center on 11/13/2015 and I got it back on 11/18/2015. It works like a new one and I am very pleased. I love HTC phones and didnt want to go toany other. Thanks HTC.

Hi HTC!

How're you lot doing today?

I'm a huge fan of HTC and have bought numerous HTC phones in the past; Legend, One X, One M7.

You guys have fantastic designs for your phones and seem to create a sturdy construction with quality materials.

Even the Iphone 6 has copied the HTC one M7 design (for the back anyway); that should give you an indication that you're doing a great job with design. Big fan of HTC Sense; don't screw it up! All the other Android skins are crap except for the native android feel.

I really want my next phone to be a HTC phone. I'm looking for a phone with not a good, but great camera. But am thoroughly disappointed that in the current landscape it seems you don't have a phone that can compete to the other offerings!

What are you guys doing?! Seriously, what do you base your success criteria on for a flagship phone. It MUST meet at a minimum the following:

- No lag in using any aspect of the phone!
- Great design
- A camera that performs Great, not good, GREAT! People will pay for this, so put the damn thing in!
- Keeping the phone up to date with releases
- Minimum 32GB of memory standard, In my opinion the MicroSD card is not required as long as you have 64/128gb offerings.

I'm sure there are a lot more criteria, but these certainly are the main ones!

I'm at a stage where I can choose between getting a stand-alone camera or a high spec'd phone with a better camera. I'd prefer to get a high spec'd phone with a better camera.

I really want you guys to succeed and i want my next phone to be a HTC phone!

You've let me down and now I have to look at crappy other brands, because of the camera side of things.

If you've ever seen the movie Jerry McGuire; "help me, help you!"!

Dude lebowski,
Big fan of HTC, but very disappointed that you guys haven't delivered!

My family was checking into new cell phones in the Sprint store in Gurnee,IL. on May 27. Did not get the HTC man's name but his wife's name is Ann or Annie. He was extremely nice and very helpful. Will continue to buy HTC products. My family,mom and brother left with total of 6 HTC One M 9's.

Posted by Former HTC Customer


HTC has the worst customer service I have ever seen in my life. I mean it is comical, I was not even mad. I just laughed. You want a good laugh? Try to have HTC fix serious problems with your

phone.



Let's start with the initial problem. HTC's stupid phone update is faulty. It took months for the update to mess up my phone almost completely. But, guess who got the word out about the faults in the software update? HTC? Nope. My phone company? Nope. It was people on Facebook and Twitter and various forums telling flipping s**t over how badly the status of their phone was deteriorating. FRIENDS! I thought to myself. We figured out the update installed an app that was not only faulty, but was not even used. There were no instructions about how to even use the thing when the update came, I didn't even know it was there. But, it gets better.



So, now my phone is at the point where I can't call anyone. I press the call button, and MAYBE 20 minutes later my phone will call the person. So, I go online to try to talk to HTC. I hate talking to representatives on the phone, so I decided to use more advanced ways of connecting with representatives. I tried to do the live chat; hours 8AM to 1AM. I don't know if those hours work backwards, but I went on at noon, 3PM, 5PM, and 10PM, and live chat was UNAVAILABLE. I went to Canada and Singapore HTC live chats. UNAVAILABLE. So finally, I got England. IT WAS AVAILABLE. So I click the "Chat Now! :-)" button all excited. "No representative is available for live chat at this time".



Okay, so fast forward to today. I e-mailed them that day by the way, I still have not received a response 3 weeks later. So I finally get into a live chat with someone. YES! I tell her my problem and guess what? She has to be the laziest and most irritating representative I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with in my life. This woman had the audacity to tell me to basically do everything myself. Factory reset your phone, go check for updates. I told the freaking woman that the reset did not work and the updates were the problem. Solution. "We don't have any more updates for you. Check with your carrier to see if they have any updates." CAN YOU FIX MY PHONE OR NOT!?!? Of course, I never said that to her. I was respectful throughout, but she seemed anxious to end the session. I soon learned why.....



So, I had enough of her. She provided no process to actually repair the phone In her mind, I was at fault because I wasn't hip to the all the updates. So I logged out of that chat to hopefully get a new representative in a new chat. What happens. "LIVE CHAT UNAVAILABLE".



So how did I eventually solve this issue? I walked straight outside and threw my phone at a tree. Yup, currently in the works of getting a new phone. Never HTC again, ever....

First time I had to use htc customer service was when the charging port on my htc one quit working. I called customer service and was greeted by a friendly male voice that spoke good clear English "a rare occasion now" he took my information and sent a shipping lable to my email 2 days later I was told that I had to replace the screen "it was cracked but worked fine" for them to fix the charging port and the bill would be 180$ so i called customer service and said I couldn't afford 180$ the person said I could dispute the charges so I did and got the screen and charging port fixed for 100$ htc rules I will be a customer for life

I got assisted by a wonderful lady named Nora who was helpful and willing to go the extra mile. Problem was solved and I am very impressed!

I have had to contact htc a few times now (about 5) and every time they are always very helpful and definitive. if they do not know the answer to my question they always forward me to a specialist in that position who knows what they are doing. the people also have always been a pleasure to work with

Only came here for a rant on Samsung UK,but then I'll have to give a plus comment for HTC.Most people come in here to report the bad parts.I had a HTC Sensation a couple years ago,bought second hand from ebay(still a few weeks old).After about a year of ownership,software problems.Looking online for a fix,found HTC customer service and without even intending it phone was booked in for them to pick up and have a look at it as it was in the 24 months manufacturer guarantee.After a few days,phone back,all good and working.
As for Samsung,they don't even bother to answer my emails/phone calls,phone collection was arranged but never heard of them again,and that was a few months ago.

I had good success with HTC. I am facing screen display problem. HTC Customer care in India(MS) helped with replacement of display doing warranty service on within one week. I have read many bad report of customer care, but not in my case. Too good service from HTC CC,Kolhapur, Maharasthra India

I just got off the phone with Justin from internet technical support. He was extremely nice and helpful, he even sounded pleasant considering it's a Saturday night and I'm sure he'd love to be anywhere else but at work. His attitude and patience made the 24 minute wait completely worth it. Thanks Justin!!!

It's nice to speak with an actual american who understands what you're saying. HTC was able to help me with my old Sensation 4G (even though it's out of warranty) and every person I talked to knew exactly what they were doing. HTC is a million times better than Indian support (Dell)

In july last year i brought a HTC desire C and by late november a crack had appeared in my screen. so i phoned HTC customer service service centre. After getting connected straight away i was speaking to a friendly and helpful advisor. After explaining what happened, he told me that my phone would have to go in for it to be repaired at my own cost but i dident mind cause it was my own fault. within a day my phone was picked up from my house within two days a repair quotes was sent to me at a very reasonable price and within another 2 days my phone was back with me working brillantly ! so i found htc to be helpful, understanding and brillant with the promise of a quite repaire !! thanks htc :)

just to say a massive Thank-you to HTC customer services for a very speedy, professional outcome to my daughters mobile phone. Her phone of just 2 months old wouldn't switch on or off !! We were sent a courier to pick it up ( free of charge to) the mobile was fixed an returned within a week. I was very impressed an will be eternally grateful to HTC for coming up trumps!! well done

I had a very positive customer service experience with HTC, so positive that I was driven to post it on-line (I normally don't bother either way).

My son's EVO tablet charging port broke, rendering the device unusable. We had purchased it a some deals site on line almost one year ago and had no original receipt, just the e-mail.

HTC mailed us return packaging, fixed the device, and mailed it back -- all within 10 days and totally free.

WOW!

We've had good success with HTC. They helped with an upgrade and are doing warranty service on a tablet.

Absolutely Fantastic! phone crashed and got stuck in recovery mode when updating, got on the phone to them they tried to help me over the phone (unfortunately nothing was sorted) however they sent a courier out the next morning (Tuesday at 9) got the phone back on Friday at 9. Will be sticking with HTC for a long long time i think! 10 Star customer service!

I worked for HTC Tech Support in the US and I feel bad for customers that call in and I cannot resolve their issues or help. The supervisors are lazy and not at all helpful, they rather an agent send an email then take a call from customers. If you call in with an issue, expect to call in repeatly, provide the same info and maybe get a answer. Management is disorganized and not all agents are on the same level or even provided with the same information making it very hard to know what to do and what procedures to follow. Worst company I have ever worked for and I would NEVER purchase a HTC device because of the service and issues.
