A sad story to tell,
My phone encountered keyboard problems 2 days ago, when texting with num lock and cap lock, phone went blank then exit to desktop with messg " internal error, application closed".

Since it's still under warranty (hardly 1 mth), sent back to NCC for reformatting this morning. OOOoo waited for 3 hours and flashed twice, they pronounced my phone "brain dead" , problems with motherboard.

And the worse part is N900 is being treated as "ET" rare species there, technical ppl not quite competent to treat it .

Endess waiting for me now, probably 1 to 2 mths for the replacement.....sad sad sad

hmm.gif Seems like eMMC problem...
Warranty claim should not take more than 1 month.Call the NCC to update them about your phone.

Dead N900 are very rare.So far including your case we only have 2% of failure.It's acceptable rate.
It's also true than N900 system build is different from normal Nokia phone including N8.
You can still feel ok since the Zitron warranty coverage will solve any problem for you.

Is there anyway that I could demand for a new phone ? NCC is run by partner Mobile Technic , i will be glad for a new phone replacement shorter waiting time...

What is your opinion, Master Alien ?

actually its not only NCC. If u send outside to random people its worse.
Janet i recommend u to go to another outlet and check or maybe call to the centre and tell your problem.

Ya, maybe should go HQ in Amcorp Mall for second opinion......minutes b4 sent it for checking still can sms, make call, go on line etc. After they flashed it, dead totally .....suspicious rclxub.gif

If it's eMMC problem, is it due to apps (extra-devel) that i downloaded that crashed it or is it defective parts in the unit itself (poor Nokia QC) ?

You can call up all the NCC Centre and check; If not check with Nokia Malaysia directly, ask them to look into your case. Under warranty, if they cannot fix within certain period, they should honour your a replacement; If not also at least provide you a spare phone for your to you since it take so long.

My previous experience with my iPod Touch support was great; My iPod Touch accelerometer 'kong', just around 2 month like that, send in, they identify the problem, file in warranty claims; No hassle for me. They say usually it will take around 2 weeks. Not long after, I received email on my status, and also the follow up status. Basically, I got a replacement unit within 2 weeks.
From what I read, if the unit cannot be fixed within certain period, they will replace another unit to the owner. Then the unit will be fixed and than be given to other customers whose unit also have delay issue. Not sure how true.

In the Ranger program, I have put in the comment, the support is very important; No matter how great a product, it's useless if the support is poor.
Last time, when NCC was together with Nokia Shop, I feel it was better. Not so much trouble, checking/sending in for repair is more easy and faster. Now like expand bigger, but more levels, more complicated, become more trouble and hassle to the consumer.
NCC 1 Utama is the branch for AmCorp Mall; They're Mobile Technic, Authorised Care Centre for Nokia. Subang one is another company, KL one another company... I asked the lady about official Nokia Care Centre, seems there is none? All are authorized centre only...

Ya, pls convey our predicaments to the higher level, Nokia pushed us to NCC, said not their job. We spent thousand of $$$$ for this kind of service. All complaints turned to deaf ears, which Nokia Malaysia should I go now ?????? icon_question.gif

Was in NCC Berjaya Plaza half a day waited to be attended to , 4 counters (2 quite ok Malay ladies, 1 blur blur India lady n 1 so so India Man). Most times they only attend to runners with loads n loads of phones (they do not need to get a q no.)

Staff there refused to let me talk to higher level for solutions. My past experience with other phone co. they actually loan me a spare phone.

I lost confidence on NOKIA totally witnessing the way they treat customers, we supported them and they treat us like ""doing us a favour " kind of mindset.

Biggest joke, the staff told me i am lucky that lately they have obtained the N900 software, if not they got to sent my phone to HQ for reformatting and sent back to BP, and it takes abt a week long.

I was thinking . phewww something that my sifus here can get done few minutes.....hmmmm

Is there any platform that we can voice out our grievances, that can reach those deaf NOKIANS. vmad.gif

Software problem you seek us is faster. They are doing their job only for salary. We suggest you call all the outlets and tell them your problem ask them to check stock availability how long then only send it in
