The Motorola DROID MAXX was a great phone for two years. After that, keep getting software crashes and lockups. Battery life is down but to be expected.

It's a great phone even though it has its flaws. It still works out. It meets my needs and it puts me on a on a place where I can go back and look at my notes and look at my memories and pictures hiking. Create almost anything with my phone. All my files that I have my dates. Anything that I can create with my phone. It has it all. Thanks for creating this phone just for my needs.

Motorola is the worst cell phone and brand. I had to exchange it several times in less than a year. There was always something wrong with it. Also, the battery would only last a couple of hours.

Motorola has had several owners but Lenovo seems to be serious about the brand. They now have a great value for the price and they use the latest Android system.

I love the AT&T price of $43 a month is not so bad for the functions of the phone. I love the fact since I moved out of my mom's house to a city that I did not know well and GPS was great.

I bought a new Moto Z2 force from a Moto authorized dealer in New York online. As of this writing it's 3/4 weeks but when I realized it had a problem I notified them and explained the problem. Tried the troubleshooting steps. Nothing solved the problem. Did some research. Turns out it is a well known issue with this line of phones... I called Motorola/Moto Care as the phone is under warranty. Talked to customer service. They said software/hardware problems and to send them the phone. (which costs to ship) They would check it out. I said I couldn't do that as I run my business through my phone, and can't just shut down for a couple weeks while they figure it out.
So they said, "we will just send you a new one." Even took all my info sent me a return label. After a week of waiting and no phone I call back, the next person said it wasn't completed, so I said, "ok redo it again." Same thing, called again ask why, "oh they never received a security deposit of $600 and my phone." I said "no I'm not paying for 2 phones, and their response was "oh no you won't be charged." I said, "ok I have the email that says $0.00 charge for replacement or service. And phone is under warranty." I was then told without security deposit there's nothing he could do, so I said "ok there better not be a charge show up on my card" and gave cc. number and right away two attempts to charge $600.
But bank refused charges as suspicious and was then told there was a problem with my credit card, I said, "no there isn't, you tried to charge my card." I was then told to call my bank and clear it. I said "no... and that it was absurd." Upon which he hung up. This is a Moto care tech/service person. He could barely speak English, what a joke. So after repeated texts calls messages, they will not replace my phone or even respond, so I comment on every forum they use. My dissatisfaction with them and how they are a disservice to all their customers. I will never support or buy any other Motorola products and will let such be known to anyone and everyone... pissed. Thanks, for nothing.

My Moto X Pure Edition had a broken screen and my Moto 360 had started having software and hardware issues. I contacted support using chat and they refused to help without me paying them. They were not willing to make an exception for either cases. They insisted that warranty is no longer active so we can't help, many retailers have made exceptions in cases like these and Motorola fails to budge.

It was a pathetic response from your service center. I have purchased Moto M in the month of January 17. On Monday 19th June it suddenly stopped working, I was not able to hear. So been to authorized service center for a request to check what went wrong. Support executive responded as nice speaker not working. I was assured by support staff as you will get your phone on Thursday as both the parts need to replaced. Today morning I called up the support staff. I was informed as still it will take 3/4 days.
My question to quality team is why you guys are selling such faulty pieces as it is getting damaged in 6 months. When you are manufacturing mobile phones you should have all the required spares with your team. It was a very bad service from support staff as they very arrogant while speaking with the customers. I will definitely escalate this matter with Grahak Manch if I am not getting my mobile on time. I will also tell all my friends & colleagues not to purchase Motorola phones as they don't have any quality checks. Hoping for a positive reply.

I bought a Moto G4 from Amazon and in less than 30 days the screen would randomly flicker. The only way to get it to stop was to turn it off. During the last incident it wouldn't turn off, overheated and caught fire. Motorola would not refund my money but insisted they could only send me another phone. They asked for my burnt phone so their "scientists" could look at it and promised to let me know what they discovered, nada. I've had my second Moto G4 for almost two months and the flickering screen has appeared and the drop down window appears for no reason and blocks the screen. It's a dangerous phone and I'm chucking it in the trash rather than wait for the next fire to happen. I'll never purchase another Motorola phone.

This phone is a complete piece of junk!! I've had mine replaced, repaired and I've done factory resets but it still wins the "absolutely do not buy" award!!! I can't even set a stupid ring tone!

You sent me an email on May 24th letting me know that you received the phone back. I expect you to return the unauthorized money you took out of my bank account ASAP. TODAY. I bought my Motorola Pure X through Amazon in late February. I had problems with the phone connecting to numerous bluetooth devices (which I am not explaining here as I've repeated the issues at length with multiple Motorola and Amazon people). I had a terrible experience with "Richard", at Motorola, who told me he was a supervisor. I spent a great deal of time with him, as well as with a Motorola customer service worker, whom I originally spoke with to over the phone. I must have explained my issues and all the troubleshooting steps I had taken previous to speaking with them both at least 2 dozen times, if not more.
Richard was argumentative with me, cutting me off; raising his voice; not able or willing to (I'm not sure which) let me finish my sentences. I repeated myself several times as to what, specifically was the issue and yet, unfortunately Richard never understood what I was complaining about. As a side note, Richard was definitely unprofessional and gave unacceptable customer service. Richard did send me a new phone, but he let me know he wasn't happy about it. It was a very uncomfortable, long, and stressful conversation. Definitely not a good experience! And I am a new Microsoft customer!
The phone came a few days later. I opened the envelope and what I got was: a box that was different than the one I got with my new phone in February, and the box was open inside the shipping envelope- not secured with tape or anything, phone hastily wrapped in a single and deflated piece of bubble wrap which was taped in a crooked manner around the phone, instructions that were on multiple sheets of paper thrown in the envelope. Bent, crinkled, just crappy looking. I absolutely did not feel safe activating this phone, which was obviously not new, so I sent it back to you. I wrote a note saying that the phone was unacceptable and I was going to keep my original phone and that I was absolutely unhappy with the service and care I had received from Motorola.
I have pictures of every piece that was inside the FedEx envelope from you as well as the letter I enclosed. Yesterday I saw a large withdrawal from you! $275.25 is what you had pending in my bank account! You can't do that. You can't charge me for a phone that you sent me and I returned and you acknowledge you received!! Today this charge went through.
Update: I couldn't find a working email for me in which to send this and ended up doing Live Chat with Ramone. I've spent over an hour with him and at the end of it all, he told me that he would have to have a different dept. call me because it was out of his scope. I asked him repeatedly to give me a direct email and or address to whom I could send my complaints to, someone who has the authority to handle my complaints. He gave me what ended up being a general Microsoft address, the same one I earlier sent a request for refund to and never heard back. At this point I am having to wait 7-10 business days for my refund and I have no person who can insure culpability.

After buying Moto X Play, within 2 months its display and speakers started malfunctioning. On visiting the service centre numerous times for the same recurring issues I received the same response every time from them - "We cannot do anything. We cannot replace the handset even if we are not able to repair them." Good going Motorola! Extremely disappointed with a such a big brand like Motorola. Your service centre sucks. You are neither able to repair your sets nor able to replace them.
Fed up with Motorola service and device. Out of the 8-9 months, I have been using this handset, its time at the service center would be 3-4 months. My hard earning money all went down the drain, As per my experience, I would never recommend Motorola to anyone else due to its appalling after sales services. Guys don't buy Motorola devices. Their service centers are neither capable of solving the issues nor they will replace the device even if there are some manufacturing defects.

I am on the phone with Motorola right now. I bought a Motorola phone and it was defective. All kinds of problems - Motorola sent me a new phone, had info from old phone transferred to new phone yesterday and guess what!!!?? This phone is defective too. They now want me to send this phone back so they can send me another one of their (defective) phones. I am so sick of this. I do not have time to spend all morning on the phone with them. I will not send this phone back. I DO NOT WANT ANOTHER MOTOROLA PHONE, TV OR WHATEVER OTHER PRODUCTS THEY SELL. I am trying to get a refund for the original purchase price. I will go to any lengths to get it!!! They have screwed with me enough. (You can't tell that I'm upset can you???)
Updated on 11/17/2017: I have had at least 4 Motorola Motos and have had problems with them all. In May of 2016 I purchased a Motorola Moto and had nothing but problems. My phone was returned at least 3 times and each phone that was sent back to me had a different problem and had to be returned over and over again. I finally requested a refund and finally was approved (after many emails and runarounds). I was then asked if I would settle for an update on a phone - I believe it was a Motorola G5. I received this phone (not sure of date) and this phone began having problems.
I again requested a refund for the original price I paid and this was denied. Again, I requested a refund. This has been an ongoing problem and I have wasted literally wasted hours of my time on the phone with service people and others to no avail. BEWARE: MOTOROLA DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. They will continue to send you defective phones until you literally give up!!!

If I could give them 0 stars, I would. Basically I've had a phone for a little over a year that has been broken since I purchased it brand new. Motorola's team is incompetent, negligent and intentionally sabotaged me getting a replacement phone. I requested one three months ago, and have since spoken to them 24 times. I have provided them with 3 different credit cards, (one debit card, that all has sufficient funds in them). Each time, they told me the issue was not "resolved", that my bank didn't accept the $75 charge. All of this is untrue. They held the $75 on my cards several times. They basically force people to buy a new phone because they refuse to honor their quality guarantees and warranties. They should be sued over and over and over again.

I have a Nexus 6 that I took very good care of — It's in pristine condition. There are no hardware problems with the phone that I need to fix. It is strictly a software issue. I have spent 3 weeks now troubleshooting with Motorola. They can't help me get into my phone (I own it outright) and they won't replace it because it's out of warranty. IT'S NOT A HARDWARE ISSUE. IT'S A SOFTWARE ISSUE! So now software glitches are part of a warranty? The worst customer service ever. I don't even know how much time I've wasted waiting on hold and all I have to show for it is a beautiful paperweight. How is it I can own my phone and am locked out of it with no way in? They keep telling me they will contact me but never do — I have had to call them back every time. I seriously feel like I'm getting the runaround.

I contacted customer support because my Moto Z broke and they replaced it for another broken phone. When I called to see what they could do to compensate me they told me their highest division would contact me in 2 days with the ability to upgrade my phone. It took me calling and emailing them 2 week to respond that they are not willing to give any compensation for sending me a broken phone, giving me the runaround and taking 2 weeks to have the higher department contact me when it was to only take 2 days just to say no.

Ordered a Moto G5 Plus smartphone, pre-release. Scheduled to ship in 18 days. Two days after the order I attempted to cancel the order. They would not cancel the order. It was more than two weeks prior to shipping date. Told me I could return the phone. How much money and hassle does this customer unfriendly policy cost the company? Do they imagine people will want to keep their product so they can keep the money? This is a waste of time and money, I will return the phone and would not recommend trying to deal with Motorola in the future. I have had two Moto G phones in the past and I presently have two Lenovo (same parent company) computers. Do they treat all customers this way?

They said that I have to pay 1800 to change full back cover and camera lens then only this warranty is applicable on my phone. Which is ridiculous as I went there to repair my phone mic not camera lens and I am under warranty. They cheated with me, what is the connection between camera lens and mic? After Lenovo acquired Moto they are really downgrading moto products. I will never buy any moto product in future.

SIM CARD ISSUES, TURNING OFF, BATTERY DRAIN, MORE. End of Dec. 2016 I purchased a Smartphone MOTO G4 PLUS from local Best Buy. I purchased a micro SIM card for my carrier. Installed and initiated the phone as per instruction. Connected to the carrier Net and Internet and made few calls. After 10-20 min I wanted to make a call again. THE PHONE displayed a message "No SIM card - Emergency calls only". Internet on, phone active but not connected to the carrier network. Replaced 2 SIM cards without improved results. The carrier confirmed it was not the SIM card issue. Motorola ask me to perform multiple reboots and number of other instructions that changed nothing. They asked me to return the phone to them for a replacement.
They claim that they no longer repair the defective units. They destroy them. Hence, I will receive a NEW unit after they receive my damaged phone. Received replacement unit, installed new SIM and initiated the phone as per MOTO/LENOVO instructions. As before it worked as it should for about 20 minutes. Then it returned with the same "No SIM card..." message. Upon reboot it drained the battery faster than it should. It got hot and it shut completely off by itself. I try number of things Moto recommends on their web but there was no change. It actually got worst. No phone, for 2 1/2 months. I again called Motorola support and their solution is to issue me yet another phone if I return my unit first. When I asked for a full refund they claim that they cannot do that at this time.
Since my second unit is functioning even worst than the original I am reluctant to send the phone back to them again. What am I getting? Some other customer's phone that is wiped clean and send to me with the usual unresolved issues. I say this because there are visible scratches on the second phone that I could not see on my original purchased phone. I am very disappointed with Motorola/Lenovo and according to theirs and others' web help sites, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. Moto customer service was unable to explain, or even acknowledge that they have a PROBLEM. I am now going to ask for a full refund before taking legal action against them. There are laws for this case and others. Hope Consumer Affairs will do something about this. I am not using the phone to play games, I am using it for death and life issues. T E L E P H O N E!

Bought an unlocked Moto Z play and discovered a crack from fingerprint reader to edge of screen. Phone was not mishandled or dropped so I believe it to be a manufacturing defect. Spent nearly an hour trying to get a customer support representative on the phone to see what my options were. Was told to expect an email that I could send pictures of the phone to for determination and never received that email. Tried going through their website and finally input my info and issue. Took nearly two weeks to get an acknowledgment for service. Sad to see the Motorola bat wings get pasted on these products since I work with their equipment as a radio technician. Will never buy another Motorola phone while Lenovo owns the manufacturing. Too bad too, the phone is a great performer and the battery life is amazing.

Currently I am still waiting on my 4th replacement phone, and it has been almost a month! Motorola promises 3-5 day turnaround on replacement phones. I've spent countless hours with their customer service, only to get hung up on at least twice, and my problems have never been resolved.
I've tried their customer service chat - each time I've spent on average half an hour with them. At the end of the conversation was told to call their 1800 number. I've submitted 5 messages online to their customer service - who promises a response within 24 hours. Not ONE of these messages has gained a reply. I'd never recommend this company to anyone.

I've had Moto phones for the past six years. Atrix, Atrix II, G, G3, G4 and now the Z Play. All of the phone have been excellent in battery life and functionality and I am a very heavy user. This said, I still use my G3 as a backup and recently the screen started acting up. I went online, spent less than five minutes going through their trouble shooting section, it determined it needed to be sent in.
A quick check of the IMEI showed it was still in warranty (by five months) and repairs would cost nothing. They wanted me to print out a sheet to include with the return along with a copy of the proof of purchase (bought from Newegg) and they sent me a prepaid Fedex Overnight label. I shipped it and it arrived to them the next day. I got a email late that night stating that Moto had received the device along with a link that allowed me to track the status of my repairs.
Three days later it was done, FedEx notified me with a tracking # that my phone would be arriving the following day via Standard Overnight. Once the phone arrived I checked it out, they had indeed repaired it as the IMEI & Serial #s were still the same. They had updated Android to the latest version and the documentation showed they replaced the screen (glass/digitizer/actual screen) due to "irregularities". Needless to say, the whole process from start to finish was simple and easy. Why anyone would call tech support to return a malfunctioning phone is beyond me. They have the self service tools in place online for a reason. They even offered to send a replacement phone to use at no cost while mine was being serviced, but I declined that as it is only a backup phone.

The very next day I have visited kavya center again and given them the token and bill which they again denied for token validity and asked me to get new token which I have agreed and requested for a new token and the token guy says, "We do not have tokens available." After which I have requested Mr. Ajay ** to help me and he in a rude language replies ("If there is someone else who is not a token service center please go to level two or four days"), so I have requested him, "Give me your escalation point of contact for which he says that he is the highest authority and "Complain whomsoever you want to complain."
After which I called the Moto customer care and explained the entire scenario and there also I got a very unsatisfactory response. Eha joshi from moto customer care officer was also not in a mood to help me and give me the next point of contact nor listen to me. She also replied me as mr Ajay replied for which I have audio recording with me. I request you to please act on the same and call me on ** for more clarity. If this is the attitude of a customer care person and a service center person then is strongly recommend everyone to do not purchase Motorola mobiles.

I bought a phone 5 weeks ago (1 year warranty) and it has power off issues. 3 calls (25 min each) submit proof of purchase 3 times and they decline warranty work saying it's out of warranty. SAVE YOUR PHONE FOR A PAYPHONE because Moto phones won't hold up.

Useless engineers, customer service and rest of the company. Had to send my Moto X Play for screen repairing with proof of purchase. Apparently they received the phone and not the proof of purchase. No one contacted regarding the status of phone neither sent any notification whether they have received the phone or not. After repeat contact, two weeks later email came saying, “Our engineers have checked the phone is out of warranty date" and there is proof of purchase and it wasn't. They lied. Sent proof of purchase. Engineers checked again. The cost was triple the original cost. How does the warranty change cost.
Then no status update, two weeks of more wait time. Another call came saying, the phone failed quality check and "we have to replace the main system and you have to pay for that" and total of £126.00 charged for my repairing with 4 weeks wait time. This is my first and last time for Motorola. Anyone read this. Do not buy their products and services. Very disappointing.

I purchase a Moto Z phone a month ago from Motorola.com. The phone has a very bad battery life for me so my first reaction was to ask for technical support. I started a online chat and got connected with a "professional tech support". I described my problems and 2 minutes later, I got a long response which was CLEARLY copied from a template response. I was not very happy since my description already proved that many of the solutions provided were useless. I then said this and reiterated my problem and was hoping for some more specific response. And after a long wait, I AGAIN got a template response asking to basically do the same thing!!! I was so frustrated and asked to escalate my case to a higher level, and then the rep simply disconnected me!!! That was simply the beginning of the nightmare. I was very upset so I decided to return it. I followed the online link to request for a return label.
A few hours later I received a label with the wrong address of mine. Then the nightmare began. I chatted and talked with the customer service for more than 5 times just to correct the shipping label so I can send the phone back. The first four reps promised me to fix it and they all failed. The fifth time I finally got a new shipping label that has the correct address of mine and I then immediately shipped the phone back and thought I could just leave the whole thing behind me. However, three weeks after the return was delivered, I still have not received the refund. And they promised to refund within 7-10 days since they receive the returns. I had to call and online chat with them like 5 more times and then one of them finally figured out that the RMA number for my return is still associated with the original shipping label that has the wrong address, which means, in their system, they are still waiting for me return!!!
I of course gave him the correct shipping tracking number and he told me that I could relax because he already fixed it and I should get my refund very soon. However, about a week later, I still have not received my it. This is the worst return service I have ever had with any merchandise anywhere. I will NEVER buy any more Motorola product in the future, and I will strongly advise everybody to do the same thing to avoid bad purchase experience.

Never ever purchase any product of MOTOROLA, because after sales service is worst. In fact they don’t bother about the difficulties of customer, facing due to non working of products which was purchased by a customer. I had purchased Moto G Plus 4th Gen with 32 GB ram, handset from Motorola through amazon in June 2016. The handset is having problem of overheating. When I use handset continuously for 20-25 minutes, it gets overheated and then switched off. I contacted their service center and they reported PCB (Mother Board) needs to replace. I had handed over my handset to service center on 16th September, 2016 and 'til today i.e. 23rd October, 2016, it is with them only. They are not able to resolve the issue due to non supply of part from Motorola.
I had Communicated with Motorola through emails and phone calls (toll free number), several times, but still they are not able to resolve the issue, in spite, on every follow up they are always asking more time to resolve the issue. Even officials handling phone calls are not having proper information and update about the issue, and when asking them to transfer the call to responsible official, they don’t. On demanding replacement of handset, they told, according to their policy they will not replace handset. THEY HAVE POLICY NOT TO REPLACE HANDSET BUT DON’T HAVE ANY POLICY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE IN REASONABLE TIME.
Moreover, they are providing service through ENSURE SERVICES, Chennai, which I come to know from service center. I have also communicated through mail and phone calls, with their officials. Initially they talk to me and given false promises. Once they told me that they are dispatching part today, i.e. on the day I talked, when I inquired with service station, they didn’t receive any part. After 8-10 days when I called they told they have already dispatched part 2 days back. Once again the same thing happened, part was not reached service center. In-between this two calls and after that their officials stop receiving my phone calls. Both they, MOTOROLA AND ENSURE SERVICES, are not giving any update on issue. I don’t have free time to write reviews, but I am sharing this, so that no one else will face the harassment which I am facing. I once again recommend not to purchase any MOTOROLA PRODUCT.

I am on my third Droid Turbo 2 phone, all having defects by the manufacturer. It has stopped charging & this was identified as a manufacturer defect eligible to be replaced under warranty. Original call placed 10/10 was told I would be receiving a new device within 48 hours. 7 days later no tracking number, no phone has shipped and come to find out I will be receiving a refurbished model, not the custom phone I paid for and was promised-- if it ever arrives. Multiple follow up calls have resulted in hang ups, being audibly laughed at by 'agents' and lied to repeatedly. Additionally I discovered a 24.99 "premium fee" charged to my credit card by Motorola without my knowledge, consent or authorization.
When addressing this issue and asking for an immediate refund with (7+) "agents" I was told the order (that does not exist) for the replacement phone would be canceled if it was refunded, that they would need to listen to the call recording first (I have the call recorded myself) and other assorted stall tactics. Currently on the phone with a 13th representative who keeps repeating Motorola has 4 business days to ship the replacement device but acknowledges it is the 5th business day and no order is in sight. Still no phone, no idea when I will get a phone and no help.

I purchased two Moto x pure edition cell phones directly from Motorola. In less than six months one of the phones has had two major issues. The first Motorola did fix. Recently the charging port for the phone shifted to the point I could not charge the phone. I sent the phone in for repair as it's still under warranty. Motorola sent the phone back with a note that said simply "we did not repair your device." I called and was informed that I had damaged my phone. I attempted to speak with numerous individuals regarding this but got nowhere. I did not damage the phone myself. I'm beyond frustrated with Motorola and their beyond awful customer service. The really sad part is I took the phone to a local repair shop who fixed the phone for $60.00. Motorola lost a customer for life over a simple repair. I have since sold both phones and will never do business with Motorola again.

Last September I purchased a Brand new Moto X Pure Edition directly from Motorola. I love everything aesthetically about the phone. It works well for what I need it for Work, and life. After about 5 months I noticed when I went to hook up my phone for charging I had to very carefully make sure the cord stayed in the port to charge. I did this for about 3 months but less and less chargers I used would actually fit in the charger and charge, including the one they sent with it. There was no damage to the port. Eventually the phone would not charge at all. I had to sent it in for repair. Two weeks later I got back a different "like new" phone. After turning it on I didn't notice anything immediately but then It was when I got a phone call I realized the speaker was damaged. I could only use my phone on Speaker phone, otherwise it sounded muffled and inaudible.
I obviously was frustrated. I had been sent a replacement phone that was damaged. I contacted them and let them know. Keep in mind every time I have to sent it in for repair I have to borrow a phone from someone to use while it is in for repair. Another 10 days and I got it back again, the same device. I turned it on, logged in and again had my husband call to realize again they sent me the same damaged phone without fixing the problem. I called them Immediately. No one seemed particularly concerned. I spoke with one person and then went on hold for 15 plus waiting to be transferred to escalation department then I was hung up on. I called back, explained and was told not to hang up this time. Went on hold again for another 15 plus minutes before being told that they were experiencing a high volume of calls and asked if they could take my information so they could call me back in the next 2-3 hours.
I did this because I was at work and didn't have all day to sit on hold. I finished my day and heard nothing from them. 5 hours later I called them back. This time no escalation, no real concern, I voiced my frustration and all I got was "Your only option is to sent it back to the repair center." Having paid a $480 plus tax for phone and insurance (Thank god I got extended, even though it isn't doing me any good) I can't afford all this mess. Sent it away, AGAIN. Another 10 days got a different "like new" phone. Opened it. It took roughly 15 minutes for the main screen to load. Oh no here we go again. I turned it off and on again. Boom it worked. One week later I go to get in my phone and the touch screen does not work. It has not been dropped, no water damage, nothing. Overnight it stopped working. I tried a factory reset, nothing worked. I called Motorola. This time it seemed someone actually wanted to help.
We started off on a good step with an attempt at getting a new phone, not "like new" phone. I just need something that works. But it looks like because I had used the MOTO Maker and they currently have no Moto X Pure Edition in stock they can't find me a comparable phone as first suggested by the most recent Motorola customer associate. It appears I get to wait until I don't know with a phone that is useless. I loved my phone. I hate the service I have been getting, and poor quality products.

My volume button became defective. I called Verizon and ended up talking to Motorola. They gave me 2 options. Send the phone in to be fixed which takes 5 days. This would mean no phone for 5 days which would not work because this is a business phone. The other was to have a phone sent out to me then send the defective phone back for a charge of $25. They also put a $300 hold on your credit until they get the phone back. So with no 3rd option I paid the $25. I had to pay for their defective device. This was a experience that could have went a different way. My advice is that if you are looking for a company with good customer service Motorola is not it.

I've been trying to order a Moto X Pure Edition for over a week. You are able to customize your phone with various features such as color, design, memory, etc. You cannot customize your phone for most every item you choose is out of stock. Even if you order the phone with features that you don't want just so that you can place your order, you still won't be able to place your order. So now you are in checkout ordering a phone that you really don't want but willing to sacrifice your features so that you can go to the checkout. But then in checkout they will not recognize your street address, they will not recognize your expiration date. Thereby denying you the ability to order a phone that you really don't want anyway.
I don't know what happened to this company but they are among the absolute worst that I've ever had the misfortune to encounter. And to top it off, try to get a hold of someone in the company so that you can ask them directly what de hey. Even just to email someone, anyone in some sort of management position so that you can express your disbelief for all the time you've wasted with this ** company. All they can do is put pictures of themselves on the internet of which I personally would be too embarrassed. Obviously none of the people in management have an inkling of what's going on and why Motorola will soon only be a memory of business gone past. What a bunch of morons.

I went against my better judgement and purchased a phone directly from Motorola knowing that so many people have had issues with shipping. As you may have guessed I am yet another case of garbage shipping handling on Motorola's behalf. First the shipment was delayed over two weeks (ordered on 9/8 and estimated to be delivered 9/18). After multiple calls to customer support my shipment was finally processed and I was given an estimated date of 9/28, more than a week after the "promise date." Now the shipment is being held in customs because Moto did not provide the correct information to customs to get the packages through and have held up over 3,395 other items (number provided by FedEx). No estimate as to how long this will take to clear up. This will be my only and last purchase from Moto ever again. Please if you are reading this DO NOT ORDER directly from Moto.

Instead they say it's not a repair they can do, seems it's a Motorola device, have to call Motorola Customer Service. We did while we were in the store. Instantly someone picked up. A woman with a medium tone. We told her what's going on with the device, and she says it sounds like more of an issue with internal parts. They said "take pictures of the phone and send it via email at this email." Fine. We send it, and we didn't get a response. They need my email to send me a link to respond to. So we called after 5 minutes. And they said "what is the email." We said "it's [this] at GMAIL.COM." They then respond saying "OK, we have [this] at YAHOO.COM." So we corrected it, and sent them photos of the damaged phone.
They said they would call back with what to do, and everything else. They never called us back, and we called them RIGHT when they opened, and was on hold for 30 minutes, before I hung up, after the automated voice said our wait time was 16 minutes. I would not recommend a Motorola device, because of this issue. Maybe if you tell them you're a cop, they may respond differently. But...

Within the 1-year warranty provided by Motorola, the motherboard on this phone was shot. I contacted Motorola and because I'd had a cracked screen repaired by a 3rd-party professional (Gadget Fix), they said it invalidated the Motorola warranty. "They may have done something to damage the phone," says Motorola. I understand, but when I called Motorola about the cracked screen earlier, they said that wasn't covered by the warranty. So you continue to try to use a phone with a cracked screen in order to maintain the Motorola warranty? Or do what's needed to fix the phone using a reputable (and expensive!) repair shop? I don't feel like there was even a realistic option. IF Motorola would have fixed the cracked screen, I'd be without the phone for 10-14 days. The local repair shop had my phone back to me in 3 days.

I have bought Moto X Play 3 months back and recently it fell from bed and its screen got broken. And it became a real issue for me. Here are few issues that I am facing. Firstly there is no authorized service center of Motorola in Jamshedpur. Service center people was not picking the call so only option was to travel 200 km to nearby city just to check if the shop is open or not. After reaching there you will get to know that they have not the parts available with them for replacement. So we need to visit again. And again when you visit it you will come to know that just the screen's cost of Moto X Play costs 7.5k. So if you have kids who can throw your phone or you are not in metro city where there is no authorized center, don't buy this phone. Because if any way your phone fell you have to spend 8k on it. Plus travel twice or thrice to the nearest city. Which again will cover the total cost of phone.

I have only had my phone for 1 year and 3 months and it won't take a charge. The last few weeks the phone took a small charge if I wiggled the adapter just right. I got a new adapter and had the same problem so it must be the port. This charging issue is well-known issue and the Motorola customer service person acknowledged that fact. I have read about many unhappy customers with the same issue all over the internet.
The first customer support person I spoke with today emailed me a link that didn't work. The second customer support person told me I would have to pay $75.00 since it has been over a year since I purchased the phone. I don't mind dealing with warranties but when this charging issue is a well-documented problem with how they manufactured this phone, Motorola needs to step up and make their customer happy and either replace the product or repair the product at no charge. I am extremely unhappy.

Their website could handle a lot of this for us but it seems it is super outsourced and they don't trust their customer service team with the information that is on the website.
Example just now is that I had already received a replacement Moto 360 and the serial number now differs from the one that is listed on the website. Fine. But now they cannot find my new serial number and it says it is invalid. Now they had to close the chat, call me on the phone and escalate my issue to some advanced repair team (or something like that), waited on hold for a few minutes and am now being told I will get a call back in 48 hours...
This is just one occurrence of my 3 interactions with Moto customer support. They have all been the same. It just baffles me how CEOs overlook this crucial aspect of a business. A company spends crazy resources in R&D, Marketing, Advertising etc. to get someone to try a product, then they completely FAIL on the post-sale support. Goodbye future purchases!!

Since that didn't fix the problem, I contacted again and sent it back to them for warranty replacement on March 8th. They received it on March 11.
According to their RMA email, my replacement device should be sent within 4 business days. I didn't hear anything from them for next 2 weeks, and when I contacted them again, they said the replacement device isn't in stock and would be sent when it arrives. The timeline? Check back in next 2 weeks! When I pressed further, the customer service rep mentioned - they were actually waiting for refurbished units. So, if refurbished units are not available, they cannot ship new phone!
Also, I asked them if they can refund my purchase price, so that I can go and buy another Moto G3 from market. Their reply was, that is not part of their warranty policy and since I bought it from Amazon and not from them directly, they cannot refund my purchase price. They offered one other option, that is, they can send my original phone back without repairing it. I obviously refused on that. They also offered me some other options, and all of them were lower size or older units than my Moto G3.
I checked with Amazon on my experience and they graciously offered me to send a replacement because of my bad experience with Motorola if I get the original unit back.

A few days later, I found out they cannot find my original device! They mentioned they will send me an email once they find it and send it. Amid all these, they kept offering me some other devices.
Checking with them again, after a few days and now it is April 13, more than 1 month of waiting. This time, something changed and a supervisor called me later and gave me a code and a website to buy a new customized phone - Moto G3 16 GB. Even the experience to buy the phone wasn't without pain. The website first offered me a flip case for free, but later changed it to $30. When checked with them, at first they said they will correct it. Again no response for two days and then checking again, I was informed my code doesn't include the free flip case.
Overall, I have spent a lot of time on the phone with them, at least 6 hours if not more. Not to mention all the pain of living without the phone for > 1 month. They should have at the very least gave me some upgrade or additional item to compensate for all that trouble. In fact, they should give compensation to me for the lost time and mental pain that I had to go through, due to their inefficient warranty service.
When I check the warranty, they did mention that they have to refund my purchase price. So the customer service agents are blatantly lying when they say refund of my purchase price is against their warranty policy. They have certainly lost a customer! I will not be buying ANY Motorola product again, cell phone or not! Not only that, I will mention this story to all my friends and advise them to not buy ANY Motorola product again!

I purchased a Moto E on March 30th 2016. Almost immediately I was unable to hear people speaking to me and they were unable to understand or hear what I was saying to them unless I use the speaker option. I went to my local Boost Mobile store. They tried to reset my phone and it did nothing to correct the problem. They then advised me to contact Motorola directly which I did. My phone was less than 30 days old when I contacted Motorola customer service. At that time I was given a series of steps to try and fix the problem so that I would not be required to have the speaker on in order to use the phone. I followed all instructions completely and accurately, it did nothing to correct the problem.
I then contacted Motorola customer service again and they gave me two options, the first I would need to remove the SIM card from my phone and send it back to them which would leave me without any phone service until replacement or this particular model was fixed and returned. My second option, was to pay $100 + dollars as a security before they would send me a replacement. They stated that money would then be placed into my account as credit. The problem with that is that I am an older woman https://consumeraffairs.slack.com/team/bethelviraywho lives on Social Security disability. Because of my disabilities it would be impossible for me to go without phone service until this problem was fixed.
The other problem I am unable to pay $100+ upfront on my limited income. I then asked to speak with a supervisor to see if it was possible for some other solution, I was told no. These were my only two options. Therefore, as soon as I am able to purchase a new phone I will leave Motorola completely and never ever use their services or products again. I will also do everything in my power to discourage anyone from ever using Motorola again. The power of negative feedback can be overwhelming to a company but obviously they don't care. I will never again use this product or company because of their lack of consideration and respect for their customers.

I bought Moto E2 4G mobile 8 months ago. Within this span I experienced almost all the issues which can be there for a worst mobile. Within 5 days I got this mobile, there is a problem with speaker. I contacted Flipkart from which I bought this mobile and they said it is not our responsibility. "If possible we will rectify your problem." But none of them contacted me after that. After few days the issue rectified automatically as it is intermittent. After 6 months I went to Motorola service center and they replaced the speakers...but after few days the same issue happened.
Now comes the biggest issue. On a fine morning, mobile is not responding. It says process system is not responding and the mobile is not working. I went to service center again and I explained the issues with this mobile from the time I bought it. They took the mobile and told me that they will call me and inform on the issue. After 2 days they called me and told me that the issue is with motherboard itself and it will take another 15 days to give my mobile back. Since my mobile is in warranty...I can go for servicing...if not I should buy a new mobile instead of getting this mobile repaired. Such a bad mobile this is and I don't understand why they need 15 days for a mobile to repair or to get a motherboard. They said that they don't have stock. This is a very bad experience with MOTO mobile. I will never buy this.

This mail is regarding my frustration and my worst experience with Motorola Company. Before this incident, I was a follower and loyal customer of Motorola but this incident has reciprocated my perception about the company. Last year I have purchased one MOTO E mobile (SKU: XT-1022, IMEI no: **, Sr No: **) but now it's out of warranty. Few days back I was facing issue with the mobile for hanging problem during booting. I had submitted my mobile for repairing purpose at M/s.Communication Solution F26/4, Okhla Phase-2, New Delhi-110020 (An Authorize service center of Motorola) vide Job sheet no: ** on 2nd of April 2016.
They told me that my mobile has a software problem and asked me to come again on April 5th. When I called them on given date they said it will take 10 days more to resolve the software problem. I called them again on April 16, 2016 (Saturday) to know the result, and they told me that "your mobile is OK now and you may collect it from service center in working days." I went there on April 18, 2016, (Monday) to collect my mobile around 3 PM. When I was checking the mobile I found that mobile was not getting on. They told me that mobile battery was discharged completely and "you have to wait for 30 minutes." After 30 minutes when I asked them for my mobile, they said it will take 1-2 hours for recharging for first time booting.
After two and half hours waiting I asked them to show my phone but they said that my phone is not charging and it has a battery problem. I asked them to boot my phone while it was on charging and I found that they didn’t resolve the problem for which I had submitted my phone in service center even after 14 days. They were not able to tell me what actual problem my phone has. After wasting of my 3 hours in the service center they asked me to come again after 2 days to know what kind of problem exactly my phone has. I spend my valuable time & money without and solution till date. I collected my mobile as it is condition. I am very dissatisfied with them due to this behavior. I am not expecting this type of service from MOTOROLA as well as I would like to suggest you please hire educated and knowledgeable person in your service center. Goodbye Forever Motorola.

Purchased a Moto X pure edition back in December of 2015 and nothing but trouble with the phone (or phones), and with the incompetent customer service. I received my custom order phone with the wrong Accents, so I called customer service within two days of receiving the phone. They agreed to order a new phone and pick up the one with the wrong accents. I received the second phone with the right accents (and sent them the wrong accent one). However the new phone had a problem with the upper speaker; crackling noise, like the conversation is breaking up and the voice quality is unclear. I reset the phone, did wipe Cache partition as was told by technical support, but ended up with the same problem.
I called customer service again and was told that they will hold $500 plus tax on my master credit card as security deposit that will not be charged, and a second charge of $24.99 which will be charged and send me a phone that is not defective. I agreed as long as there will be no charge and as long as this is just a security deposit that will not charged if the malfunctioned phone is not returned. I received the new phone that presumably does not have a speaker issue, but it had wrong customization.
I called customer service again and was informed to send back the new phone with the wrong customization, and another phone will be sent with the right customization and that does not have a speaker issue as the original one which is in my position. I sent the newly received phone (replacement) back and was assured that the security deposit will not be charged since Motorola messed up with my replacement phone's customization.
After two weeks I received another phone (the fourth replacement) from the original purchase in December 2015. This time the customization (engraving) was even worst than the one before. I called customer service again and again and told them that it has been over three months since the day I ordered the phone, and Motorola still cannot deliver a new phone that works with no problems and as ordered, even after sending them pictures of the problems. I talked to Gavi, Walter, Joe and many others and nothing happened yet. I have been conned by Motorola and my master card account was charged the full $500 plus tax plus $24.99 in addition to the original charge of the phone of $399.99 plus tax.
I put a dispute with my Master card, and closing my Motorola credit card and telling everyone about my nightmare experience with Motorola and their most inferior customer service. I ended up paying over $950 for a defective phone with wrong customization and had the worst customer service experience that I have encountered for a phone that is defective is selling now under $350. I also wanted to tell you about your tax rate that you charged me, which is over 10% in zip code 60503, where the regular tax rate is not more than 8.75% in this area.
My last incident # with customer service is ** on 03/24, and I am still waiting for Joe, or Gavi, or Walter, or Jagan just to name a few to call me back which I think is not going to happen since I have been lied to. Your overseas customer service and your escalated issues department is worthless since they are not empowered to make any decisions. I have been told each time I called that they will send an email and have to wait for a response back. This has not happened yet, phone was ordered in December 2015 and we are in April 2016.

Motorola has one of the worst customer service departments that I've encountered. I bought a Moto G (3rd gen) phone in late October. I really liked the phone, but had problems with connectivity during calls (voice echoing, disruption, etc.) made on any Wifi, regardless of the router/internet provider. Calls made on my service providers network were fine. My son has the same phone and experiences no such issues. Our phone settings are exactly the same. I followed all the help guidance on the Motorola website, visited countless blogs, recalibrated the phone using various call settings, and called Motorola tech specialists over a two month period without being able to resolve the issue.
I called Motorola in late December and told them that I was reasonably sure the issue was in the phone, and that I wanted a replacement. After two phone calls and one chat session, they told me that it could be my phone service provider and that I needed to contact them before they would go any further. I told them that I had encountered the problem on several different Wifi configurations and that the phone worked fine on my provider's network. Further, my phone provider has nothing to do with my internet. I did comply with their request which improved nothing. I called Motorola back and after numerous calls/chats, they finally told me they would replace the phone and would send a mailing label that afternoon. After hearing nothing for two days, I called them back, and they finally emailed me the label. They told me that it would take about 8 days to receive the replacement phone (4 days to return my phone + 4 days to send the replacement).
Over a week later after hearing nothing, I called and asked about the status of my phone. They informed me it hadn't been mailed yet, but they would send it in two days. Two hours later, I received an email stating that they did not have a replacement phone, and that they would now refund my purchase price. I was baffled. After a month of emails, conversations, chats, and mixed messages, this was their response?! To add insult to injury, they said it would take 4-6 weeks to refund my money, AFTER they reviewed and accepted my invoice and other documentation. Three weeks later I received an email that they needed my bank information, and the deposit would take place in the four to six weeks. I finally received the refund nearly 2.5 months after my December contact with them.
My experience suggests that their customer support system is completely broken. The customer call service connectivity was usually lousy. It never seemed like they knew what was going on. I would get conflicting emails following calls or chats informing me that they felt the problem was solved. I lost track of how many hours I spent on the phone or in chat trying to resolve this. Of note, they were polite, even if inept. It is a sad testimony for a company that provides communication services. The phone is well-regarded in reviews, but if you happen to get a lemon, you are in for a miserable process. I will never buy another Motorola product again.

This is really a disappointment to write. At the time I purchased my Motorola cell phone, Motorola was the only cell phone vendor used by the vendor. The first Motorola phone did not have enough memory for me to load my tunes and pictures, and it would not allow an SD card to be added. So, I purchased the XT064, which allows for an SD card. After a few months the phone went toes up and was replaced. Now the replacement has gone toes up as well. I have spent over 3 hours with my cell vendor's tech people and reset my phone twice, the first time losing stuff stored on the SD card, even though the Android/Gmail backup was current.
Issues: touch screen not always receptive; no audible response when receiving or calling; after factory reset SD card data not recognized and content lost. My vendor will probably replace the defective XT064, but only with a similar XT064, only it will be out of warranty by the time I receive it due to Motorola's policy of only replacing defective units during the warranty period since the original purchase. I hope someone files a class action lawsuit against Motorola!!!

I have sent my phone back for replacement 3 times now and am awaiting my 4th phone (Moto X Pure) to arrive in the mail using the advance exchange program. They do not send you a new phone as a replacement using this 25 dollar exchange program. They will send you a used phone that they have not tested except for some program they run on the phone that apparently does not find the defects that I have experienced. The first two replacement phones would not receive any signal and the third phone records static with videos recorded by the phone. I discovered they send used phones when I discovered a dent on the charging port of the 3rd replacement phone (along with the static problem).
My conclusion is that they stockpile used phones customers return and send them back to customers who request an exchange. They do not seem to put any effort into checking the phones workings. This opinion was verified today while talking to the escalated service repair team. She told me she would make a note on my service request that they test my phone before sending it to me... This is not standard procedure then, to check the used phones they send to you as a replacement for your new phone. I love the features of this phone but will not be buying Motorola again due to poor business practices. I hope you read this before experiencing the same story as me and the others on this site.

So, on 3/10/16, I got a replacement which also had the same problem after installing its update. Since 14 days return period passed for waiting for the replacement, Motorola refused to refund me. Their next offer was to have it repaired or to send me another replacement with $500 credit hold on my credit card until they receive the replacement back. I took repair since there was no way to give them my credit card information again. Now I'm sending back the phone for repair but not expecting much based on all other reviews I read here.

I had a defective phone that would overheat to the point in which I would drop the phone. This caused the screen to crack slightly, which upon calling customer service would not be a problem. I opted with spending the $24.99 to ship another phone to me in advance of sending mine in. Once I sent my defective phone in, they proceeded to tell me they were going to charge me for a new screen. I tried to escalate the concern, but they kept referencing the fact the screen was cracked, and I needed to pay for it. Although, this was noted originally, they refused to accept that this was their problem, and then charged my card for a $550 deposit fee.
At this point I was beside myself, and spoke with another supervisor demanding them to check the phone out and my original complaint on the recording. They stated the phone was sent to Texas, and the customer service is located in South America along with the fact that they could not trace the customer service call. After my third attempt, I was finally able to get a confirmation that they would credit my card for the $550, but still charge me for the screen and tax.

Everyone complains that your phone doesn't come back after you send it to Motorola for repairs. The $25 "Advance Exchange" program is no loophole. I was charged $24.99 and shipped a phone that could not be turned on - it seems that the power button isn't connected. I called support and arranged to return it.

Our family recently purchased 5 of the Motorola Nexus phones. The phone I purchased and activated in Jan 2016 was the Nexus 6. 2 weeks after activating the phone, I used the video feature for the first time. The video was jumpy. I restarted the phone and not only was the video was still jumpy, but the camera was now jumpy as well. I was out of town so waited 2 weeks to contact customer service. They had me try restarting the phone, then taking it to factory reset, but the problem persisted. They then offered to 'replace' my phone.
They offered 2 options for the replacement. First, I could mail my phone in using the FedEx label provided to Chicago. Once received, they would mail the replacement phone. The second option was to pay 24.99$, and they would send me the replacement phone prior to me sending mine in. I chose option 1, and could not believe that I should have to pay to have no lag time in phone service for an issue that was a product defect.
When I received the FedEx label, the mailing address was Ft Worth, Tx, not as I was told. I mailed the phone, and per tracking, it was received in 24 hrs. After not receiving any feedback on the replacement phone I called customer service the following day. The agent said that they have 5 to 7 business days to send the phone to me, a fact I was not told originally. The agent also said it was a 'like new' replacement phone, not a new phone, as I was given to believe. There is no escalation of customer support. I was upset. I did not want a phone someone had dropped in the toilet. I have always taken impeccable care of my phones. The phone I mailed them was in perfect condition, except for their defect.
To me this is not customer service at all. The phone was defective, at no fault of mine, and they want to charge for an upfront phone, and the replacement will not be new, but 'like new'. It has been 12 days since I mailed in my phone and I still have not received the REPLACEMENT or any VERIFICATION that it was received. I called customer service today, and the agent said the system showed that the phone had been received 12 days ago, but they had not done anything to send a replacement.

I purchased a customized Moto X Pure directly from Motorola. The purchasing process was ok -- not nearly as well organized and managed as Amazon, but acceptable. I love the phone, which had very good performance at a reasonable price. One day out of the blue, the screen started to go haywire. I would push an app on the screen and something else opened up altogether. The screen would jiggle around and so forth.
I called the repair department, who promptly issued a FedEx return label. Three bad issues ensued: 1) the email they sent said FedEx would package it for free (not true, although not expensive); 2) I was told by the Moto rep on the phone that a new phone would be issued after I sent in the old one only to be told that it would be 7-10 days after they received it; and 3) every time I call to figure out what's going on with my phone, I get a new and different story.

For instance, I asked if my phone is something they still get in (it's an old model) or is it a lost cause because they just don't get them anymore, he responded "Sir, I told you there's a 8-10 business day wait sir." I said, "OK well it's been 8 days, does that mean I'll get it in 2?" He responded "Sir, I told you the time may vary sir." After that I tried to ask again if my model is one they get in but I just got the same responses. He put me on hold 12 times, called me back 2 and then pretended to transfer me to a supervisor (he literally didn't even try to disguise his voice and it was obvious he thought this was hilarious).

As of today, I have a new phone in my hands that they 2nd Day FedEx'd out. That's after telling me they were returning my broken phone to me back in January. Many thanks to KariMoto who knows how to get things done. I would suggest getting on a forum for your Motorola phone and get some real, polite and immediate help. Good Luck. A pleased customer, finally!

On 1/11/16 I returned my Droid Turbo via Motorola supplied FedEx label. As others have experienced, they couldn't find my phone. That's after issuing me a RMA to track my repair. The screen is peeling off the phone body and their website said it was a covered warranty item. So I sent it to them. Well here it is, Jan. 30 and I still don't have my phone back which they say they WILL NOT repair because it has screen damage. Seriously.
So they told me they sent my phone back to me. After not receiving it 6 days later I called them. As with others I got the long hold times while they were putting me through to Repair Escalation. Their comment was (barely understandable foreigner), "We apologize we didn't send it out". When asked when they would return it I was told 24-72 BUSINESS hours. When I complained that they already had promised to send it out the week before I was demanding they send it out immediately. They then put me on a 1/2 hr hold because I asked for a Supervisor. No one ever answered my call so here I am 3 weeks later, paying for phone service for a phone I don't have and can't get back.
After all this hassle and endless phone calls you think they would want to provide good customer service and fix the peeling off screen. At the very least send my phone back so I can glue the screen on myself. Thank you Motorola for providing me with the worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life. Sad part is I still have to deal with you on Monday in an attempt to get my phone back. Extremely sad that a company can provide this horrible of service and still stay in business. Moving forward, I will never again buy a Motorola product of any kind.

Bought a Moto X in October and truly loved the phone.. Then I broke the screen. Called Motorola and they said send it in, $60 and 5 days I'll have it back. It's now been nearly 4 months, multiple calls they keep telling me they're backed up. Can't talk to a supervisor, they will not reduce the fee or offer any concessions. To make it worse, they said I won't get my actual phone but a refurbished replacement that may not be the same color... IF I ever actually get it back. I feel like they stole my phone and I'll never get it back.. What should I do? Can you call the police? Motorola stole it... Worst customer service experience in my entire life.

Several weeks now trying to get a replacement phone from Motorola. Different story every time I call... Yeah you have to call otherwise you will not know what is going on, well still won't know. First they don't have phone, will substitute, still no phone, call back and phone they were going to send is out of stock, another substitute offered, wait a week, call back, no phone available, offer a substitute and still waiting. Oh forgot, keep putting you on hold. How do they get away with this. Not honoring warranty. Just hope your Motorola phone works for awhile. First replacement (substitute) took 2 months and it was defective... No WiFi or Bluetooth. Now no phone at all. This all started back in early December. Heading into February with nothing.

Motorola has the worst customer service!!! They do not accurately communicate when things are being sent to you. They told me that they were sending me a new phone that day. 3 days later - no phone! I call for follow up for information and they put me on hold. After 15 minutes, they hung up on me. I called back and they were closed. They are the worst!

I contacted Motorola to repair my wife's Moto X which had a broken screen. I sent them the phone and paid for the repair on December 9, 2015. I was told it would take 3-6 days and we'd get the phone back. I have called repeatedly to get updates since and still no phone. My wife's phone was a nice custom Moto X Maker with custom colors and 32GB of storage. On the first update I called to ask where the phone was and was informed they couldn't find a suitable replacement. I learned we wouldn't get the original phone back and that she would only get 16GB of storage. It's nearly February and I still have no phone. If I get the phone back it certainly won't be the same device I paid for. Do yourself a favor and refuse to buy a Motorola phone.

I have given the phone for repairing on 15th of December 2015. The service center as well as Motorola support team is not answering properly how much time it will take to fix the phone. Now it's more than 45 days and I am still struggling to get my phone fixed. There is no coordination between the service center and the Motorola support team. Everytime I call them they commit new date of delivery. There is email communication with Motorola but they never replied.
I do received the call from Motorola team. However, the person from Motorola confirmed that my phone will be ready for delivery by 4th of January 2016. When I called the service center on Friday, they said that they have not received the parts yet. I am not sure where is the communication gap. Why it is taking so long to get one device fixed? I am not here to accept such a poor service from Motorola. It's going to be one month in 10 days since I have given my phone for service. Who will be taking the ownership and getting this fixed?
This is something not acceptable to take one month to get the device fixed. Either you bear the cost of the parts if its taking too long or pay some penalty due to delay from your end. Because being a customer, I feel I am the only who is getting affected at my own cost. I am paying for the device, I am waiting for an unreasonable amount of time. Where is the Motorola in the picture and how are you helping your customers? Just reply back with the valid reason why it's taking too long to get my mobile fixed. If you cannot keep your promise then pay back to the customer for the delay.

I bought this phone in the month of October 1 week. I was very happy with the clarity in all specs.. After one month the problem started with the camera. It's not opening at all. I have given it to the service center as it was out of replacement date. They have taken 8 days to resolve it. The very next day the problem started, again I went to the service center. They said camera (front and back) need to be replaced. Till now i.e January 27 I didn't get my phone back. They are saying that parts are not yet been received by the company.
Hate this phone... Will never buy MOTOROLA phones in my life... This is the reason why people choose foreign brands (iPhone in the same price we get 5s, 5C). There should be Zero rating for this.. Kindly enable no star for this kind of mobiles. That's the reason you guys have limited the exchange period for only one month. Have suggested all my friends not to trust your brand based on specs... If you feel this feedback is worth, replace it with the new phone.

I purchased a Bluetooth headset through Groupon with full warranty. It broke after a few months. I contacted Motorola for replacement. FOUR months later, I am still getting the run around. I was told they were out of stock so I had to wait to ship it back. That was about a 2.5 month wait. In the mean time, I tried to get a refund or upgrade, they refused. I had finally shipped my broken one back in November. I received an email on Dec. 9, they had received it and were processing the replacement. I called today and was told the replacement order was cancelled and they can't say when it will ship! On hold for 8.5 minutes to get a supervisor who still couldn't do anything for me except to "check" when it may ship but can't guarantee anything. NOPE! My household will NEVER be buying Motorola products again. I will be certain to let everybody I know not to buy them either.

I ordered 3 Motorola moto pure edition phones and my order was placed on hold/cancelled. They called to verify info to clear it up - which was fine. Then, I was told it had to be resubmitted for approval and would take 24-48 hours to get a decision. After 48 hours with no communication, I reached out to the customer service rep again and was told the order was cancelled and there would be no way to change that decision. Meanwhile, I can't reorder anything because I still have to wait for the pending charge to clear from my credit card. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was ignored.
Then, I tried to reach out to customer services via the chat because of course no phone number was posted. I was told the same thing - he would have to put in a review request that would take 24-48 hours. At this point, I said nevermind as it is clear they do not want my business and certainly do not deserve my business. If a business makes it this difficult to order from them, they deserve to have no business and it's certainly scary to think how awful the process would be if you had a real issue with your order after you finally received it.

Nov 7, 2015 I decided to switch my whole family from AT&T that I've been with for 12 years to Verizon. My husband purchased 128gb IPhone 6s plus and I decided to get the Motorola Moto Maker. Brought it home for about 3 weeks and there's a green line running across my screen. "It was a dead pixel" they said. I have to prove to Motorola that I purchased the phone with receipts. That took about a week. Finally they gave me a shipping label to send my phone in on Dec 7th. They received my phone on Dec 9th. This is where it start.
A customer service emailed me saying they got my phone and they will send me a code for me to build my new phone and I should wait. 4 days went by. I called in. Customer service told me that they escalated the problem up and they will contact me in 3 days. It's now the 12th. I called back in and again I was transfer to 3 different departments and they told again to wait for my code. Got my code on the 15th and after spending 2 hours on the computer trying to get my code to work... I called in to technical support. On the phone with technical support for 2 hours and he told me "I'm sorry but the code doesn't work because it's a Verizon code." Me, "are you sure? I got this code from Motorola." He said "I'm very sure" and suggested me calling tech support for Verizon.
It's now 9pm. I got on Chat with tech support from Verizon. Told her my problem. She told me she can help me with my account usage & the code problem that I had. It's now 11:45. Customer service of Verizon finally told me she doesn't have the capability to help me with my bill or my code to the phone. She asked If I tried to turn my phone off and on... smh. I told her at some point she should have told me she couldn't help me instead of keeping me on the computer for that long and didn't read anything that I typed to her. She suggested I go up to Verizon.
The next morning Dec 18th I went up to Verizon and they had no clue what I was talking about and they said that it was a Motorola code. They didn't know why Motorola had said that it was Verizon? Im now up here for another 2 hours. Now... Droid Turbo is exclusive for only at Verizon. I bought that phone and made it up at Verizon. Finally got my working code after about a week that they said they've were trying to get a hold of me on the phone that I had sent in.
Let me tell you There's a lot of smart people that knows what they're doing at Motorola! Smh. It's now Dec 28th and they said that I would have my phone by Jan 7th. I've been without my $750 phone for about a month. Guess this is how other company work. I was with AT&T for 12 years and it has always been right and I have never experienced not having a phone due to a phone defect from a phone company. The way customer service & tech support handle my phone call was very subpar. Both Verizon & Motorola. For me to spend that much money and get the kind of treatment that I got... I will now try to sell the phone when it comes in and will switch to another phone company.

I had spoken to live chat support and they told me on the 30th after I had found out it was on hold that they had escalated the case and passed it on. I waited till the 4th December and rang them to find out my order hasn't been escalated until the 4th. So live chat were lying and a complete waste of time. And I have all the conversations to prove this. Me and my son built the phone online for his x-mas present which now he will not get. So thanks a lot. When I rang up on the 9th for my refund I was told the system is struggling to take orders and is holding and cancelling legit orders. How bad has a company got to be, to be allowed to carry on trading? Shocking really and no one there gives a **.

My phone is under repairing at Motorola Service Station - Global Service from 24th Nov. It's more than two weeks no reply from service center. Even they are keeping their helpline number purposefully engaged to avoid customer communication. I can understand for poor customer support from them as they are not from Motorola but surprised to get even worse service from Motorola Executive. Send mail as well as multiple call but no update. Even not a single time received call back from them as assured by them every time. It seems Motorola don't care for Customer Service issues.
Today in India more than 100 good phone makers are approaching to the customer with good service support. Do you think such poor service intention will Protect Motorola in Indian mobile businesses? If established company like Nokia is now nowhere into the business then what about the others. Now I understand reason even Motorola is active from initial stage but yet struggling and it's all due to poor service not due to the product. In Metro like Pune they are having only 1 Service Center, very funny part of this story. Hope at least now I can expect action from them.

So a buddy of mine is leaving the country and so I decided to buy him a Moto 360 because he's been having his eyes on it for awhile. I went to Motorola.com and customized the smart watch to his liking. (This was Thursday December 3rd). Didn't have enough money in my account due to all the Xmas shopping so I used my girlfriend's credit card with her permission of course. I placed the order with my log in and password but used her credit card with her billing address and e-mail.
After the purchase was made and cleared it said I will get the product on the 11th (which is cutting it short since my buddy is leaving on the 12). I figured it would be OK since I can possibly intercept the package even if that means driving 50-60 miles out. When I finished the check out I waited a good 2 hours then called Motorola customer service and they said the payment and everything went through and I should have it by the 11th if not sooner. Being a happy customer I gratefully said thanks and hung up.
When I went back on Motorola.com Friday night around 6 pm I noticed it said my order was cancelled so I immediately called customer service. After waiting for about 30+ minutes someone gets on the phone and I begin to ask why the order was cancelled and the lady on the other end gave a deep sigh and said hold on and hung up on me. I called back again and it said they are closed. So I called first thing this morning and I kept getting the runaround. After several calls I finally got in touch with a guy that said a email was sent and I had 24 hours to call back and fix the situation. (They weren't sure why the billing address is different from the shipping address). So I put the guy on hold and checked my email and spam and there was nothing there. So he tells me it was sent to my girlfriend's email. So I logged on her email and found it in a spam mailbox.
I started ask why she was emailed rather than me and his reply was because that's the account you logged in with. I said no I logged in with my email through Google+ and then he was keep pretty much telling me "too bad". So I asked to speak to a supervisor and his response is "there is no supervisor here." After arguing with him and telling him how important it is for me to get this watch he kept telling me there is nothing he can do and there is no one that can help me out. Frustrated I hung up on him. I then called again with my girlfriend on the other end and after 45 minutes of hearing "your business is important to us" the phone is picked up and sure enough it was the same guy. I once again asked to speak to a supervisor or someone superior and he kept saying they will only tell you the same thing he is telling me. After both me and my girlfriend got into a 15 minute argument he transfers me without any notice.
Finally someone who can speak perfect English answers the phone but with a extremely low voice (constantly had to ask her to talk into the phone). She begins to tell me that they don't have the money. So my girlfriend asks "So who does? Because I am looking at the statement and it says I was charged and it's not even in pending." So the lady says buy it again and she will reimburse the money. So we said "no the money is sent out, we should get our product". So she say "OK. I found the money. I will send it back to you guys and you guys can reorder it and you would get it by the 15th." Basically saying we paid for a product, now they will send the money back for us to order again but we would have to wait till the 11th to get the money back and we will then get the product by the 15th. So we told them no we are in a deadline and she still gave a I don't care attitude.
Now basically we have to ask for our money back and I'm going to buy another watch from Nordstrom that isn't going to be exactly what my buddy wanted. Throwing our expenses off for the Xmas parties and gift exchanges and none of our friends are going to get exactly what they wanted or what we planned to get them because our budget is now thrown off. I was going to buy a Moto 360 for myself as well but now I'm leaning towards LG Urbane because of this situation.

This account will be hard to believe... but here it is. On 3/20/15 I purchased a Motorola Moto X 2nd generation from Republic Wireless with a 30-day money back guarantee from Republic and a one year repair/replace warranty from Motorola. Beginning in 6/15 I began contacting the Motorola Customer Care center due to poor bluetooth functioning. The representatives were courteous, somewhat difficult to understand due to heavy accents, and never the same person from call to call. I was instructed to perform a variety of useless tasks including clearing all pertinent caches and factory reset. All to no avail. Now having to use the phone on speaker phone rather than bluetooth when driving, I learned that the mic did not work. The other party could not hear me.
After contacting Motorola again the representative suggested I finally mail it to their repair center on 10/19/15 where it was learned that it would have to be replaced with a "like new" same model phone. I was not told at this time that the service center had none of these phones in stock. I called a week later and was told of this problem and that I would get my phone the following week, which I did not. This was repeated weekly for two more weeks after which I asked to speak with a representative within the continental USA.
At one point I was sent another FedEx shipping label despite the fact that I had already sent my phone in. The US representative "Tammy" apologized for my inconvenience and told me she would submit another request to the repair center but could not assure me the result would be any different. I asked if I could just get a refund and she said this would be possible and she would need a proof of purchase from Republic Wireless. Today, November 23, 2015, I received the proof of purchase document and called Motorola. After going through the entire mess again with two representatives who did not seem to understand me and were ready to submit new ineffective repair orders, again I asked to be transferred to a USA based representative. "Andrew" repeated this offer again stating that there are no phones available and was totally unaware of "Tammy's" offer of a refund.
I am now waiting for yet another repair order for a "like new" replacement to be sent into the same empty void where all the other repair orders reside. After two days, Andrew assured me that, assuming no phone availability at the repair center, he would then process a full refund or send me a non-Republic GSM unlocked Moto X 2nd gen phone that would allow me to end my Republic Wireless account and move on. I am 6 weeks without my phone. This incompetence, confusion, and less than truthful way of doing business with paying customers is inexcusable. BUYERS BEWARE.
Updated on 12/11/2015 - This is in follow up to my previous entry about the appallingly customer service at Motorola. Interestingly, immediately my first post Motorola "reached out" to me with two "like new" replacement phone choices. I accepted the choice of a white (my original was black) replacement which arrived yesterday. I was told this phone had been fully vetted by their technicians. The condition of the internal/electronic integrity will forever be unknown to me because it is being returned due to a cracked glass. It's a small but fully visible chip/crack at the bottom corner that, in my book, disqualifies it a "like new" replacement. It gives the impression that no one at Motorola pays much attention to their products, their promises or their customers' experience. They refuse to give refunds so it seems they pay close attention to the money they take from their customers with little regard to what they give in return.

I got a Droid Turbo and managed to break the unbreakable screen. After three calls and multiple chats, I was given an RMA and sent the phone in. The prepaid label was two day. According to shipper, phone was delivered. Now, two business days after the delivery, there is no record of my phone being delivered. They say that all phones are scanned in, but there is no record of that.
The online chat and customer service call center are no use. There is apparently no way for the call center to communicate with the warehouse where phones for repair are received. I cannot understand how a maker of communications hardware can't get the needed information from the warehouse to the customer.

For the past 5-6 weeks I have had a terrible experience dealing with Motorola support team. First I get a device (Moto X Pure) with frozen screen issues within the first 2 weeks itself. Then I was assured that I would get a replacement. Waited for 3 weeks then called back to check about the status. It turns out there is no record of any such commitment before. When escalated the manager mentioned that I had called a day after the warranty period (15th day) and hence they did not send it. They did not even care to inform me about it.
The story goes on... This time they ask me to pay $30+ to replace my device. After multiple attempts they agreed to do the replacement only when I return my device first and then I would get it within 5 business days. More than a week has passed and now I don't even know if my new device was even shipped. The customer support don't know the same. After 3 different complaint numbers and 10+ hours on call with customer support, 2 months without a device, I don't have any leads to what's happening with my device. Please, please fix this crap customer service model.
Update 11/14: They say the device (Moto X Pure) is out of stock now and I don't have an ETA when I would be getting it back!!! Again no communication from Motorola. Had to be on call another hour to get this update. Update 11/14: I escalated the issue and finally spoke to one of the managers, and he assured me that I would receive this device by 11/17 or max by 11/18 and he would be personally taking care of this. Update 11/16: Again called the Motorola Repair Escalation Support Team at 1-888-355-8422 to get an update.

One of their QA/Testers sold a phone marked "Motorola Confidential Property Do Not Sell". The individual put the phone up on eBay using EVERDEALS1. The seller EVERDEALS1 had eBay remove the negative review by me to keep up their rating levels. The phone was represented as "Republic Wireless", but wasn't. The phone appears to be usable by any prepaid phone service. Have docs, installed software by the tester using software by Motorola or its contractors for a Republic Wireless phone. The software testing application BUGS2GO is present and all choices are various Motorola Facilities. The QA logs are still present.
In fact, I sent a request for Motorola to contact me at once. They have failed to do so. Customer care docs from the Motorola Customer Care line I printed as a PDF file. They truly have well trained "customer satisfaction avoidance" personnel. It is no small wonder that Google was able to buy this failed company for ten cents on the dollar. I can forward all docs via email later, as requested. For under $250, they are apparently willing to drag their name into the mud. Sad. The MEID was verified by me, then was later invalidated two weeks after I received it. Neither eBay or Motorola will step up to the plate to properly resolve this issue.

I had sent in my phone to Motorola for a battery issue I had. The claim was rejected by Fedex and this happened a month and a half ago. I was sent a replacement device but since the claim was rejected, I wanted to get my original device back. Motorola does not ship back the original device unless you send in the replacement which I did. However, I have been talking to several customer representatives and still have not received my original device and every time I call, they provide the same estimate of 4-5 business days but they never honor it.
Customer service representatives are not friendly or polite and do provide an accurate date of when they can ship the device. They claim to "escalate" to the shipping department, but that process is not transparent. Also the process of "escalating" is not really escalating. I have seen no updates even though my claim was "escalated" several times. The representatives do not have any authority or awareness of what is going on with the process of a claim and do not make any attempts to find out. Its a waste of time as you wait for them to try to do anything to get your claim processed.
I hope I get my device back in "4-5 business days" as they have claimed to me today. The customer representative even refused several times to provide me with an email confirmation of getting my claim processed in 4-5 business days despite several requests. Due to opening several incident numbers, they are not able to easily keep track of the history of a claim and I spent a lot of time going over the history with multiple representatives. I would have appreciated a request to expedite my shipping to be done overnight at the very least given that I had waited for 10 days with no phone and no update on my order despite calls to customer service every couple of days. They are not pro-active in reaching out so constant baby sitting of the order is required. Terrible terrible experience. I will never buy another Motorola product ever again.

I received my first direct order phone from Motorola in late October. It was a Moto X Pure Edition. Within hours I found that it could not get 4G LTE coverage and 3G wouldn't maintain connection. They blamed US Cellular. I had a representative from US Cellular redo all of the programming and it definitely was NOT their issue. I called Motorola back and the decided to send me a new phone instead of giving me the refund I asked for. I received the new phone and returned the first within 5 days. The new phone worked wonderfully for 7 days then all at once started having the same issue as the first. We immediately called again and were hung up on. We called back and were told that we had to have dropped the phone repeatedly for that to happen.
The phone has NEVER been dropped or handled roughly. I even bought a protective case from them so drops wouldn't affect it. After multiple transfers and horrible treatment by a company I have been loyal to for 11 years, I will never buy from them again. I now have to ship my phone back before they will send me yet another replacement for a phone issue that is clearly due to their lack of quality products. I've never been so disgusted with a company before in my life!

My original order for a Moto G (3rd Generation) was cancelled 3 days after I placed the order because Motorola would not ship to the address provided (my workplace) because they "do not ship to business addresses".
I created a new order and entered the shipping address for my home. After waiting 5 days past the 'estimated arrival date' I phoned Motorola, only to find the order had been cancelled a week before. I never received any email or notification that my order was cancelled. The reason? 'A discrepancy in identities between my first and second order'. I don't understand how my first order, which was cancelled by Motorola, would have anything to do with my second order. Both phones were ordered by me and were to be sent to me. The original order was to be sent to my workplace which was "unacceptable" and the second to my home. I just wanted the phone shipped to me!
I ended up ordering off of Amazon and got it in 2 days. I was disappointed because I was hoping to use the Motomaker feature and create a custom phone. Ah well.

After hours of back and forth between their online chat, which is COMPLETELY worthless btw, and their phone lines, which have horrible call quality and people with suspicious accents, they finally tell me that they won't ship to my address bc it's a college mailbox. I guess they don't want the business of college youth?? Having young people use their products must be detrimental to their image. Yeah, makes sense. So I put in another order, now shipping to a friend with an address they would accept, and I never received any confirmation email. I go back on the chat and they tell me that my order has been cancelled.
They took my money and they ran. Gave me no good reason and told me to call them again. I don't know why nobody at this company can use e-mail. Why do I have to keep calling?? Why was my order cancelled for no reason whatsoever? It's been nothing but frustration, useless representatives, long hold times and confusion. I am appalled at the poor level of customer support and this is just trying to BUY their product. I can't even imagine what it's like to try and initiate a return or get true technical support.

Droid turbo failed after only 9 mos. LONG hold times with customer service. Representatives that barely speak English. I asked the same question word for word and get a "yes" response the first time and a "No" response the second time. The reps say things that don't even make sense. I asked to be transferred to English speaking rep, but they say they can't do that. Instead of shipping me the replacement and a return label for my convenience, they make me initiate the process. I had to pack the phone and drive to a FedEx and ship it with prepaid label they sent me by email. I tried to get them to ship to me first to save the trip. They will do this BUT they charge $24.99 even though the total shipping would be the same, just in reverse order. Don't even try to negotiate with them.
Apparently their motto is "Motorola's way or the Highway". After hours on the phone and running around to ship I did get a replacement phone. And now it has failed (no sound) in less than a month. I called them and wasted an hour and they STILL won't ship to me first unless I pay $24.99!! So another 10-14 days with no phone. If I would have agreed to this fee it would have been $50. I would have paid because of Motorola product failures!?? I called my cell carrier and plead my case and they agreed to replace my phone and they even ship to me first with no charge. I guess they value customers. Motorola does NOT. Motorola - worst customer service EVER in my 46 years. NO MORE Motorola products for me!

Sent a (defective) Moto X II in for a repair a couple days after receiving it. Told me it would take 5 days. It took them 10 days to confirm that they had even received my phone (I paid for 2-day shipping). They lost my customised phone, told me they would send me a un-customised stock Moto X. They did not have any in stock and waited nearly an entire month for a restock (that didn't happen). They then said I would receive an email with a link to make a fully customised Moto X II. This email never came (Mind you I've been without a phone for nearly two months at this point). I am currently trying their internet chat (it is complete **) to try and resolve this issue. Tl;Dr: Called Motorola 12+ times (over 16 hours on the phone) still haven't received my "five-day" repair Two months later.

On January 3, 2013, while Motorola was still owned by Google, I purchased 2 phones (Moto G) directly from the Motorola website. I received the order on January 8 (5 days from the order date is stellar in my opinion), but one phone did not work correctly. After calling customer service and talking with a friendly representative with an American accent, they apologized and overnighted me a new replacement phone and the box for which to return the malfunctioning phone - all for free! Needless to say, I was extremely impressed with customer service. I was so impressed that I told many of my friends and family about my great experience, and some of them became customers as a result.
However, on September 4, 2015 (Motorola is now owned by Lenovo), I purchased 2 new phones (Moto X Pure Edition) directly from the Motorola website. When I finally received my order on September 19 (15 days was a little long to wait, but I understood they may have been backed up), one phone's sim card slot did not work. After talking with a friendly representative with some kind of Indian/Middle Eastern accent of which I could only understand every other word, they took my credit card info and said the return would cost $25 for the Advance Exchange (exactly what I did for free with my first order almost 2 years ago - receiving the replacement phone first, then returning the malfunctioning phone). I thought to myself, "Ok, whatever." It seemed a little odd but was still worth it to me to receive the replacement before returning the other.
On September 25, almost a week after I had scheduled the Advance Exchange, I called to check on the status of the return. After talking yet again with someone I could not understand and asking them to repeat phases to me over and over, they told me the Advance Exchange Program is not available for Moto Maker (Motorola's customized online order website). They said since my order was within the return period of 14 days (which I couldn't understand how they came up with that since I received it 15 days after the order was placed), it had to be treated as buyer's remorse. In other words, they were treating it as if I was unhappy with the color that I picked out when I ordered the phone. On the other hand, I was very happy with the look and color of the phone I had designed. The problem was the sim card slot malfunctioning! The phone was almost useless!
Anyhow, they gave me a code to reorder a new phone which I reordered that hour. They gave me an expected delivery date of October 8, 2015. After reordering the new phone on September 25, I've been waiting for my replacement for almost a month now. When I received the notification that the replacement had been shipped (October 16), I began tracking the shipment. On October 18, the shipment was delayed due to import clearance. I thought this would be something that would resolve itself, but today (October 20), I called Motorola to check on it. Not only could I not understand the customer service rep at all, she couldn't understand me until I began speaking extremely choppy with over-emphasized consonants. The phone is still stuck in clearance delay, and I'm even more dissatisfied with this experience than with any other bad experience ever before.

I have owned the Moto 360 for less than a year, now the second generation is out with a redesign. The generation 1 has a plastic clip and housing where the spring pin hold the band in. The watch band fails with the plastic pin mount stripping out. In less than 8 months & $400, the watch is un-wearable. This is a failed design flaw (most watches have metal mounts where the spring pin holds the band on). After over an hour on the phone, Motorola will not stand behind the product and upgrade to the new 2nd generation that has a reengineered metal mount for the band. The 1st generation will only continue to fail and Motorola only wants to charge me to receive the replacement. They wonder why they have failed market share and only drive business away and back to Apple!!!

My 13-year old son saved up money to buy his first smart phone. He purchased a MotoX Pure online on 9/29/15. He received an email confirming his order and a delivery date of 10/15. He counted down days until 10/15, but no phone arrived. We called customer service multiple times and were transferred and/or put on hold for 30+ minutes each time. Each time I ended up hanging up because I didn't have the time, but on 10/16 I finally got through and waited the 30+ minutes again to speak with someone. I was told that the phone was not made yet, therefore hasn't shipped.
No apology, just a statement of "we have a high order volume now so we're behind". I repeatedly asked when the phone would be delivered which they would not answer and would not find anyone else who could answer. I received an email the next day saying my phone was being shipped and would arrive in another week. I used the "chat" feature online to relay my frustration that their product was not delivered when promised and that customer service was awful. Their answer "we have a high number of orders, everything is delayed". When I asked why they promise to have it delivered on a date they cannot follow-through with, they wouldn't answer the question. I will never use Motorola again.

I am on my second Moto X phone. The first one started to act up after it got a "system update", got a replacement. The second acted up after I got the Lollipop system upgrade. I tried to avoid it but was not able to. Contacted Motorola and was told "do not worry that if the phone malfunction after an update we will make it right". Recently when I had the second problem, initially was told (via chat, have proof) that there was a fee if I wanted to get a phone prior to returning mine, but in the next paragraph, I was lead to believe the fee would be waived. When called to get that, was told "too bad, an error was made, you have to pay the fee". When asked what would happen when the phone be out of warranty "too bad, we would not do anything" even though this is a recurring problem!
I am going up the ladder of their troubleshooting department (escalation team, I am at the level 3). I have spent over 2 hours on the phone with them with no avail. They claim the updates are not their problem but Google, that they only make the phone and there is no way to stop the phone from updating!

Hubby & I have been very happy with our Moto X smartphones until last week when they sent out an upgrade. He loaded it; I did not. The upgrade is not user-friendly, but worse is the fact he can no longer connect to our WiFi which has resulted in going over our data plan in 2 days! Worse yet, he lost all his contacts, his calendar & his photos. But the very worst part is the fact Motorola's attitude is "too bad". The phone is just 18 months old which puts it out of warranty. They will not stand behind their upgrade, will not waive their astronomical fees, and have basically said "we don't care that you're an unhappy customer".
In fact, they tried to blame the problem on Verizon who spent hours trying to help get our phone back to default settings to no avail. Put bluntly, there will never be another Motorola product in this house and I would strongly encourage anyone considering a smartphone purchase to look at the iPhone, a Samsung or anything else on the market if they want to do business with a company who stands behind their products.

Then I nearly had a heart attack.
Between the supermarket, the phone managed to consume 627 mg of data. The phone had 29 updates on it which it took without asking, I was fuming. That's 127 meg over the limit. That cost me £12.70 on first months bill. Talked to Tesco who of course blamed Motorola. It gets worse. Overnight of the 2nd of Sept decided to upgrade windows 7 to 10 using my home free broadband. During the night, somehow it turned on my mobile data and God knows how it used 999 meg of my 500 limit at a cost of £50 sterling. Over the course of 4 weeks it has cost me £62.70. The monthly cost is only £8.50. As you can imagine I'm going mad with rage. I'm pretty tech savvy, I've noticed the phone keeps turning off wi- fi. And to top it all off, the Bluetooth in the car doesn't accept my original number. It's using the number that was on the sim when bought new and you change it with Toyota.

However, being a single mother I could not afford another monitor and my dogs alert me if my daughter wakes up. I had begun saving for a new monitor when it crapped out once again overnight. This time my dogs were outside and she had been screaming for a while. I was pissed off that this company endangered my daughter's life.
I called the company and because I could not get the back off of the ** device. There was nothing they could do. The customer service representative was extremely rude and refused to switch me to a supervisor, then she hung up on me. That was just the first of many calls I had. I called back the next day and was unable to get through to anyone. I commented and posted on their Facebook pages until I got an answer. I was told to email.

He told me to expect a call back within 48 hours. I don't believe that, so I called the next day.
I got the only nice employee. She apologized and even upgraded me. They had to put a hold on a credit card but I decided to give them a second shot seeing as though I do not have much money after bills. I received the new device in two days and was excited. This was a really nice model. It was color, I could move, play music from, as well as speak through the camera. However within a week of having the device, the audio quit working. I was pissed. I called customer service. Apparently, they had put the wrong sticker on the parental device, so the serial numbers didn't match. While talking to this lady, she informed me that if I wanted a new device she would downgrade me to my previous device, because I should not have received an upgrade.
I then got angry with her and told her that was unbelievable for a company to downgrade because their service doesn't work. She told me I had to do a hard reset to see if that would fix my unit. I shouldn't have to do reset anything within a week of having it. I did it and it fixed it for all of one night. I call back again and receive a worthless male.

He told me was not allowed to transfer me to one. I kept asking for one. He then hung up on me.

This monitor at least alerts you with a sound similar to a fire alarm every ten seconds when the audio quits working. My daughter sleeps through the night, I should be too.

They offered to exchange it for a rebuilt model but would put a hold on my bank account of $100.00 or charge me $25.00. The other option was to send my phone first and be without a phone for a week or so! I'm extremely unhappy with the product and the service and would not recommend it to anyone.

I did a warranty on my old s10 HD back in November. But you guys didn't have it so you guys gave me S11 HD instead. Well I had already bought another Bluetooth in the meantime so I didn't use it till 2 weeks ago. I learned a good lesson with Motorola products. Use it right away so you know if it is defective or not. But regardless of that I started using these defective Bluetooth. And few days later I started getting rash in my ears and few days later I started feeling heavy rash in my ear so I had it checked by a DR and came to find out those ear gels were made from cheap quality and due to that I had a rash from. And when I took the ear tips off I saw piece of plastic sticking out and it was all one piece so it was poorly assembled and the silicone head was poor quality.
So I called customer service. I already was prepared to be bounced to several reps before getting to the one that will actually take the call and who is there to do their job and not to just pass it off to someone else or hang up. When I got to a rep he stated in issues like this only order admin can assist me. So he transferred me to order admin named Kean who was one of the worst reps I have ever dealt with in my life. And if I gave a customer this poor service I would get fired from my current job. When I got to her I explained to her several times and she kept putting me on hold and at times it felt like I was talking to a dead wall and as though she was not even listening.
After I got aggravated she started listening to what I was talking about. At which she stated since I don't have the warranty claim number all she can do is offer me $25.00 for my next order and I can keep these defective headphones. And I was like "what?" I even mentioned to her that I will escalate it regarding her poor service on the phone to which she hung up the call. WHEN WILL MOTOROLA FILE CHAPTER 11?

I have purchased Moto G 2 in month of Dec. 2014 and for more than 4 times, phone is with service center - that means for more than 2 months, they kept it. And after getting back from service center, problem again arises in phone. They are just repairing it locally and giving it back... no service Motorola is providing. Customer care executives are fooling customers. I am calling again and again to them but not taking my issue. I will not suggest anyone to purchase Motorola handset until they don't provide proper service centers. Worst experience... pathetic service.

Got this phone June 2015. Phone worked good until a few weeks ago phone keeps restarting and has a sd card error when it restarts. Contacted Motorola. They had me do a factory reset. Phone worked for a few days after then starting to do the same thing. I called Motorola. Again I was told it would be replaced under warranty. The catch here is there are only 2 options here. 1 send my phone into them first and pay 24.99 shipping or for them to send me a phone first was for them to charge a credit card $100.00 for a hold up to 90 days. I can go to Best Buy and get the same phone for $60.00. Motorola is just a shady company not standing behind their products. Whenever you call their customer service all you get is a big run around. In my opinion this product is under warranty. They need to replace the defective phone at no charge. I will never own or recommend Motorola products to anyone.

Retook to store on 3 occasions and they tell me I can pay them $35 and they send out to fix which is 8 to 10 weeks or I can send out and it will be 8 to 10 weeks. I called Motorola to be told they want a fee to ship me a new phone or go without a phone and send it back to them and wait for a new one which is about 10 days to 30 days.

This is some of the worst customer service that I've ever had to deal with. The camera broke on my phone (moto x 1st gen) so I called about warranty repair. My first complaint is that they used to do it for free, but now you have to pay $25 or send the phone in and wait to get a new one. I don't have a landline and I use my phone all the time, so going two weeks without it is not something I can do. Oh well, it's just $25 (and a $250 hold on a credit card) so I decided to go that route. Unfortunately I was contacted the next day saying that the warranty service was cancelled because I didn't pass a security verification. So I tried another card, same thing. So I decided to call my bank and make sure they weren't declining the charges, and they said they weren't, plus I could see the funds when I went on my bank's website.
I call Motorola back and they try it again, same thing. So now they say it's something on their end that they can't resolve and can't find out why it's being rejected. I called them probably a dozen times in two weeks and I couldn't get anyone to help me. It was always the same thing, "sorry it doesn't work, try sending your phone to us so we don't need to use your credit card." Even after I've told them over and over that that is not an option for me.
They even suggested that I use a friend's name, address, and credit card, since the problem appears to be with my information. And they just couldn't understand how ridiculous that is, to ask me to ask a friend to charge $300 on their credit card just because Motorola has a screwed up system. There were even 3 or 4 times where they promised to call me back the next day, or later in the day, and I never heard back. So it's obvious they were just trying to get me off the phone and hoped that I would drop it. I'll never buy something from Motorola again, because it's just going to break and then they won't be able to fix it.

So my phone stopped recognizing its own battery. I figure that it's still under warranty and I'll be fine, so I do customer service chat with a nice man named Marc who informed me that I have 2 options, Advance Exchange and Repair. Advance Exchange will cost me $25 for getting the new phone first, I'm not paying $25 because I would gladly send in my broken phone first and get standard shipping. So I ask for a supervisor, and he redirects me. I get a greeting, and then a busy signal. TWICE. All I want is a replacement without having to pay $25. Fast forward to another 3 redirects and I find out that they have a return exchange option, where I send them my phone first and then they send me a replacement. But wait, my phone (because it has a crack in the screen) is NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY.
So I'm having a screaming match with "Carlos" (I speak Spanish and can hear your Indian accent buddy) about how my phone's crack could have been any time (it was 8 months ago, and it didn't affect function) and then he gave me some ** about how, despite consumers and community postings, making it clear that this is not a rare occurrence with this phone. "MA'AM WE LIVE IN AMERICA, IF THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE PHONE EITHER THE GOVERNMENT WOULD PULL IT OR WE WOULD STOP SELLING IT" No you wouldn't. The Ford Pinto was on the market for 8 years, and it BURST INTO FLAME when it was rear-ended.
It takes a lot for a product to get recalled in America, people have to die or experience serious bodily injury. NEVER TRY AND INTERACT WITH THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE! YOUR WARRANTY IS UP AT THE FIRST SIGN OF PHYSICAL DAMAGE, BE IT A TINY CRACK, OR A DROP OF RAIN. EVEN IF THE ONLY PROBLEM YOU WANT FIXED IS THEIR ** FAULT.

And they charged my card for the replacement phone. I had to call them 6 times over the course of 2 months to get the reimbursement. Each time I called them, the representative kept saying they didn't know what was going on and they were useless. So just hope that your phone never broke. If it does, might as well go ahead and get a new one (from htc or something).

My camera had a black spot in the lens that would appear in all my pictures. So I have my Moto X to get my camera replaced. When I went to collect my phone, camera worked fine but I noticed a crack in my back panel. I asked service centre about it, they said that's the only way camera could be replaced. I left. When I reached home and took a proper look, there were 6 cracks on my back panel! I called the service center. They said that's the only way and stuff. I asked them why did they not replace the panel before returning the phone. They didn't answer that. They said come again and get your phone and it will take about a month to replace it! I was furious. The service center is very far from my place too. Then they told me call up Motorola service centre and ask them for the nearest centre for quick replacement to back panel. This was April. And it's June right now.
Motorola service centre has been juggling me around since 3 months! When I first called, they took my complaint and they give me my incident number and everything. I had sent them pictures of my broken back panel. I even got a mail after the call that we value you and we will look into the matter. Since that time, no response. I call them up, they say respective person is not present and promise me a callback. And they have never called back ever. In my last call, I talked to the supervisor. He was very promising and he told me that I'll get a call back the next day and he will arrange for it himself. This was a week ago. Never received a call. I used to waste an hour on this. But there was no output. I feel very dejected and neglected by Motorola. I'm losing my faith in the company.

I bought the $353 Champagne Moto 360 from Best Buy on February 23, 2015. June 7 the watch stopped working. I called Motorola on Monday June 1 to get a replacement. I was very specific in that I was leaving on Monday June 8 and would be traveling out of state for most of the summer. I was reassured that I would receive my replacement within 4 days.... No later than Friday June 5th. In the meantime there was a $223 hold on my bank card until I returned the damaged device. Well, I got an email from FedEx saying device was due to arrive on Tuesday June 9th at 8 PM.... I was leaving Mon June 8 at 5 AM. I called Motorola and was assured I could pick up the device the following day at FedEx at noon. I drove an hour to get to FedEx.... I had a graduation I was late for due to this.... Only to be told the device was not in Miami but still in Tennessee.
They said it wouldn't arrive until Monday. Motorola lied.... Again. Monday I couldn't leave until the afternoon waiting to see if FedEx could get me the package early. No such luck. I delayed my trip and had to reimburse my fellow passengers the expense of leaving late.... Which entailed staying at a hotel overnight and food. Motorola assured me I would receive the device overnight and sent it to the address I would be staying at in South Carolina. However, when I got the package it was the wrong device. It was a device that costs $150 less than mine. After spending many hours daily on the phone with Motorola and missing out on vacation time with my family I was told they would ship me the correct watch to the South Carolina address... Another lie.... They shipped an exact duplicate of the cheap watch to the MIAMI address where I told them over and over I was not at.
I had to again spend hours on the phone and call FedEx myself to get them to pick up the watch and hold it. In the meantime I'm getting emails from Motorola saying I am going to be charged the deposit since I haven't returned the defective device. Once again I drove down to Miami to pick up the watch.... Guess what? It was the same cheap watch again. This is ridiculous and not acceptable. I have been on the phone with them for the past 2 hours to no avail. They keep "transferring" me to supervisors who all sound identical but have different names. I will never do business with Motorola again. If someone can help me I would appreciate it.

My camera did not work on my Moto X (reverse camera wouldn't even show up). After speaking with Motorola and resetting my entire phone, they suggested I switch it out. After receiving my new phone, I shipped them my broken one. FedEx confirmed arrival within a couple of days. Motorola emailed me to announce they'd be billing me the full cost of the phone as it 'hadn't arrived'. I called and spoke with someone in Customer Service. They stated it hadn't arrived. When I referenced the FedEx proof of delivery, they initially argued it hadn't arrived, eventually agreed to check things out and after ~45 mins reported they had discovered the mistake (realized it actually was there), rectified the problem and told me not to worry as it had been fixed in the system.
A few days later I received another email from them stating the same - they were going to bill me the full amount of the phone as my return hadn't arrived. Repeat the same phone call (including duration, despite my having reference of the prior conversation) with the same outcome (we see it has arrived, I've fixed the problem, this won't happen again). Repeat the same email/phone call scenarios 3 times.
Finally, a FOURTH email stating they were going to bill my credit card as the phone hadn't arrived. This after the last phone call had apparently been with "the manager, top guy in charge of this" where I'd been repeatedly reassured that it wouldn't happen again. This time, I decided to get my money back from them by going through VISA and blocking them any further. Finally, I had yet to discover that the new phone they sent me - didn't have a functioning camera either! This second camera does not have a functioning "focus" so all pictures come out very blurry. So frustrating to deal with this company!

My less-than-6-month new Moto G 2nd generation android (bought from Staples - should have known better than to trust all these companies that provide cheaper options) decided to stop working one fine day and decide to perpetually stay in logo mode, without turning off or its operations on. It just stayed at that beautiful Motorola logo that till two months ago I loved. I went to Staples, complained about my defective phone and they told me “no problem, we will give you new phone.” I had paid a $40 warranty for two years, but since the phone maker (Motorola) is responsible for providing warranty on phones bought in less than a year, I thought I would contact them and save my $40. I understand now what a bad decision that was.
I called the customer service number I found online for Motorola and was taken to a Spanish-accent representative (a girl who claimed her name is **). Immediately I knew this was an outsourced customer service department and I braced for the lack of help, but I wouldn't have thought it would be to this scale. I was advised by ** to send my phone to the repair centre after the FDR (this is what she had written in her instructional email to me) procedure didn't work (their reset process or something). I was told to send my full box and phone, and reference number that start with 150. I did all of these, as well as a photocopy of the receipt that shows I bought the phone from Staples. They told me to mail it and gave me a shipping number where I didn't have to pay for the fee, so I went to the Canadian Post office who promptly told me they do not do this.
I then called again the Motorola representative who then had the brilliant realization that I should have been told to go to the Purolator office because they are the other brilliant third party they use for shipping. I went, mailed my phone along with the info required and was told over the phone previously by ** that it would take 5-8 business days. I mailed my phone on May 14, and as of this moment, June 15 I still have no phone in my hands. In fact, I just got off the phone with a new-but strangely-familiar-sounding-voice girl who claimed her name was ** that FedEx tried to send me the phone but there was no buzzer so they left. They didn't bother to leave a note or anything like it, but now they don't have the phone, you see.
So the phone is back in FutureTel Service Centre who seems to have worse reviews than Motorola (oh boy, I am afraid for my outcome!) and listen to this, the rep told me it takes them 72 business hours to get in touch with their repair centre third party (that's how great FutureTel Service Centre is) in order to get the tracking number for my phone so they then can contact FedEx and try to get me a specific date on when the product will arrive because, you see, I have to take a day off work to make sure this phone is in my hands and I don't go through this process again.
Yes, this is the ordeal. I am leaving some really frustrating things out, like how ** never replied anymore to my emails after I said I wanted my money back, or how ** (same voice-sounding as **) constantly kept on saying “wow” as I frustratingly put down their incredulous arguments (like for example, the first argument why the phone had not arrived yet after one month was that they did not have a number to call me, then she told me I did not provide an apartment number which I proved it to be a lie because I had proof of her email to me stating my full address, as well as a Purolator receipt copy showing the date and my apartment number clearly on the shipping address).
Then when I insisted to speak with the supervisor, they told me he had gone home and to call back tomorrow. I called next week, talked to someone and was told that now the problem was the buzzer, they had not found a working buzzer. How could the buzzer work when it was connected to my broken phone?! Also, as a shipping company, they are obligated to leave a note. There was no such note.
After this experience, I feel like Motorola is one major scam corporation with the worst outsourced customer service company I have seen. Everything Motorola does it is through a third party - meaning a cheaper, monstrous outsourced company that either never answers your calls (like FutureTel Service Centre, the third party company that Motorola has for Toronto customers - this is where they send our broken phones, but am afraid it is more like a black hole, nothing comes out) or its Canadian Android Customer Service, where the poor El Salvadorian souls have to keep their composure while we scream in their faces for business processes that they have no control over.
I just spoke with the Motorola representative, a girl whose voice is strangely familiar all three times. I have spoken to her (I have called by this point at least 6 times) but with different names each time, and was told let us get back to you when we find a solution. By this point, I am boiling and I so wish I could find a way to file a formal complaint with the business bureau or something along that point. This type of business cannot continue operating and duping all of us. I have not even asked the company for reimbursement for paid phone bills even though I had no phone, and I have been patient and smart enough to just focus on getting the phone back so I can figure out how to get my money back myself. But, even this is not happening. This is incredibly infuriating and I definitely want the necessary channels to hear of this professional business misconduct.

Been the month from hell. I tried to purchase the ESP for my new Moto X second generation but could not do so. After 3 days and 4 phone calls they finally fixed the problem on their end and allowed me to purchase it. Then I tried to initiate a repair due to a cracked screen and my account did not recognize my ESP purchase. Another 2 days and multiple phone calls and I was told Moto would initiate the repair over the phone while they attempted to fix what was wrong with my account. I send them my broken device and wait for them to contact me about the replacement. After not hearing from them and not being able to check on the status online myself I decided to call. Once on the phone I was told that while they did receive my broken device, they have run out of "pins" for the 64GB Moto X 2nd Gen. The rep said they have no idea how long it will take to get new pins, it could be a week or it could be a month or more.
He said there's no guarantee of how long I would be waiting. He offered to send me a 32GB Moto X pin code instead, but I paid $50 extra for the memory upgrade plus $25 for the wooden back which I wanted and customized. He said there was nothing that could be done, I either wait indefinitely until they magically get more codes (funny thing is I could purchase a 64GB right then online, but a refund was not an option based on what they said). So I either get a lesser product which is not customized (one of the reasons I chose Motorola to begin with) or I wait forever. After trying every possible option they found a 64GB model at the service center, not at all like mine (blue leather, silver trimming) but since I need a device I had to accept it.
I don't understand how a company can: A. Run out of devices, especially when the customer paid not only for their original device PLUS the ESP cost AND repair deductible. B. Offer a lesser product than was originally purchased with NO incentive to the customer who is harmed in the process by their lack of inventory. C. Have no proper training for their foreign customer service representatives. Most did not know to look at notes (if they were ever taken), or hear what I was saying. They would much rather pass you along to someone else. I love Motorola's products and have always advocated for them, but this nightmare that has taken a month to resolve has completely tainted my view of their customer service.

Called them again, this time a guy picked up the call and put me on hold for around 10 min and they agreed, they gave away incorrect information when I was placing the order and that they would exchange that with a Moto X 2nd gen that will work for AT&T and I just need to simply return the Republic Wireless phone. 2 min later, she again said, "No we can't even do that. All we can do is simply process the refund," and that I should send the phone back and place a new order for a phone that will work for AT&T. All this took more than an hour on phone. At this point, I was sick and tired of their lies and unprofessional attitude.
Few minutes later, went back to their website for live chat to confirm that they would refund the entire amount (Phone cost, shipping cost and Taxes and that I would get a shipping label to ship the phone back) and got to a person called **, who is a confused soul. He took forever and finally said, since I am out of the 14-day refund period, he cannot process refund. I tried to explain to him that I received the phone in FedEx only on 05/20 and how will it be 14 days from 05/20 to 05/28.

I purchased customized a Moto X 2nd generation phone and extended warranty on motorola.com on 9/30/14; 32GB, Teak back, Orange trim. Approximately a month ago a defect appeared. The back upper-left corner (when looking at the back) begun to lift, regardless of my effort to push it down/reseat it. It will not stay down. Therefore on 4/27/15 I contacted the phone number provided on my warranty, Motorola ESP Certificate of Coverage, and begun the process of receiving a replacement.
The representative helping me was rude and would not listen, nor offer accurate assistance. He had the color/back incorrect did not report the custom Teak back rather listed it as Pink; the trim color was incorrect; the carrier was incorrect and he even argued with me who my carrier was; and he told me the hold to my account would be $27X.00, not $500.00. This begun the spiraling decline of this situation, and ultimately caused my current situation, which is as follows:
I did receive a replacement phone on 4/29/15, however, as soon as I opened the box I realized that phone had the exact same defect and an additional defect along the edge, where the Teak was not even seated and there was approximately a slightly larger than a 1mm ridge. I immediately contacted Motorola to refuse the phone, and that was initially a problem, and was not handled correctly either. The representative initially told me I would have to put an additional $500 deposit, send that back, and once that device was received, I could restart the process with the original. I asked to speak with a supervisor and was refused, and after much time was able to receive an RMA for that phone without an additional cost.
I was told I would receive an email for the above listed RMA/return label, and an X-code rather than a replacement in the next 48 hours, and I would need to call to retrieve the X-code and a new return label for the original device. This was on 4/30/15. By 5/3/15, I had not received that expected email and once again contacted Motorola, and demanded to speak with a supervisor, after much resistance, and 50 minutes I was finally connected to a supervisor. He looked into things and called me back, assuring me everything was taking care of, I was receiving the X-code and would receive a new shipping label, and I would not be charged anything further, and the $500 hold would be refunded, and everything on my order was correct and he was going to make notes himself on my account.
However, he did also state, I followed the wrong procedure as I was supposed to use the return label that was included with the replacement to send the replacement back, and that could delay my refund of the $500.00. Even though, I explained I FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS OF THE MOTOROLA REPRESENTATIVE. He further went on to state, that I should have sent my original device back to avoid all this. As I tried to explain, "I NEED A PHONE", and "HOW CAN I CALL FOR AN X-CODE WITHOUT A PHONE", yet he continued to insist this was all my error? On 5/4/15, I received the email stating the X-code was ready. I called and did get the X-code.
However, the representative gave the wrong code, as he could NOT distinguish B from D, even though we spent several minutes phonetically repeating it. Furthermore, the carrier was wrong and the custom Teak back was not selected/provided, and was attempting to charge me for it. Once more I had to contact Motorola, and again after much difficulty, the representative told me just to buy it and I would receive a coupon for the $25.00 and had no solution for the carrier. After insisting I need to again speak with a supervisor I was finally told, I would receive another email, within 24 hours, for a new x-code with the correct carrier and correct features/customization so as there would not be any additional charge.
As of 5/6/15 and I have yet to receive that email. At this point I want to cancel the warranty, I should receive a full refund not pro-rated as Motorola has not been able to properly honor it per the warranty agreement, and had caused SO MUCH STRESS and much of my time. I want the $500.00 hold released, and I will sell my device, and get a non-Motorola phone. I sent the above strand to a Motorola representative on 5/6/15 via "chat" in their help/contact page and was told I would receive a call back, and I did NOT GET THAT CALL. As of now, I have no replacement, no x-code, they are not honoring the warranty, will not call back, and are holding $500.00, and I have defective phone. Additionally, there are many other software issues since Lollipop that I have been waiting for a response and resolution too, yep waiting.

Droid Truro - I bought my phone in November, less than a year ago. I've had nothing but problems. My problems started with the phone not working. They factory reset twice. Google - didn't work. My phone overheated and shut it off. My battery died suddenly twice and it does not charge anymore like it says in 15 minutes. I've been to the Verizon store many times, they offered me a new phone and I refused because it would be refurbished and no guarantees. I read the forums, many people have done that and had no luck. I still have here year and a half to go. I don't think I'm going to make it with this phone. It's expensive to have a phone and not able to rely on it. I'm not happy with the company's phone. I on the other hand would like to go back to my Samsung phone I had no problems. What are my options?

Moto X - I got a cell phone from AT&T.... monthly phone payments are $16. Just for the phone not including the plan. Each time I talked on the phone the back and front would get very hot. When I charge it it gets real hot. One day I could not get the phone to shut down. I was told to remove the battery. The back of the inside guts of the phone were coming with it. I stopped at that point. Motorola says it is a defect yet want a hold on my bank account for $200. And for me to send the phone. I told them "No way you are getting that much from me for a defective phone that could blow up with the battery getting this hot that you cannot even touch or hold it.... You send me the new one since this is under warranty and I will send you mine. You are not getting $200 to hold for a phone I only rent for $16./month for 18 months. I want you to send me a new phone."
They were putting me through to a supervisor and left me on hold for almost 1 hour. I tried back but they only left me on hold. I still have phone. It is still under warranty but they want $200. I am in between jobs right now and I am not doling out $200 to them for a faulty phone that could blow up anytime.

Before my recent incident, I was a fan of Motorola. In fact, all three of my smartphones have been a Motorola phone. Now, I will NEVER buy another Motorola product again.
I bought a 32gb Moto X 2nd gen in January 2015 and bought the Moto Care accident protection for $85. On March 7th, I accidentally dropped my phone and cracked the screen. On March 9th, I filed for a claim. They then gave me a FedEx shipping label that I printed out though FedEx and I sent my phone off through the mail on March 12. On their website it said to expect my phone in less than a week. So after a week after not having any contact with Motorola and not having my phone back, I decided to call.
They told me they did not have record of my phone being received by the warehouse and I needed to give them my tracking number to help find where it was. BUT I did not have access to my tracking number because I did not write it down (there was NOTHING stated by Motorola that said I should write it down) and the shipping label expired 5 days after opening it so I was unable to see it. Motorola told me that they did not carry records of tracking numbers since it was through FedEx. I claimed that it is absurd that they do not. I called FedEx and did not have sufficient information to find my tracking number.
So then I called back Motorola and after complaining and multiple calls they said they would put me through to a "higher" department. It was then April 9th and after about ten calls to Motorola, a lot of complaining and a month later, they finally said they had received my phone. They said I should allow 4-5 days for processing before I get an email with a tracking number for the delivery of my phone.
I was EXTREMELY patient considering it had been a month since I sent in my phone and I waited six days. At this point, I had not received any email about a tracking number and called back Motorola on April 16 -- again. The operators I talked to seemed confused on the status of my phone, especially since the repair status was "closed". Honestly, this is how my whole experience has been with Motorola -- no one knows what is going on. They finally said that the warehouse was waiting on a new phone to send me and that it would be a few more days. I held myself together and waited until April 20th.
This is when I was getting REALLY upset and demanded a phone. The guy offered me a Motorola Turbo -- I told him “NO, I want a Moto X.” Then he offers me a 16gb Moto X 2nd gen -- I told him “I am not going to downgrade from a 32gb to a 16gb phone because I spent $50 dollars on the memory upgrade.” I asked why I could not have the same type of phone that I sent in and he said that it was because there was not any in stock at the warehouse, which I later found to be untrue. I then asked if I could get a $50 refund and take the 16gb (it seemed very fair) to which he said that there was not a way to get a refund. I then hung up and a couple days later, on April 22, I called again and got the same talk about not being able to send me a 32gb Moto X 2nd Gen. I demanded to speak to a manager because at this point it has been about six weeks since I sent in my phone.
I finally spoke to one. He explained to me that to send someone a phone from a repair a code is needed and there were no codes for a 32gb phone in stock. Why can't they get anymore codes you ask? It is because a different department authorizes these X-codes and they only get sent to the repair center once a month so that at the end of each month they run out. This is absurd. This company is too big for its own good and does not know how to efficiently run things.
Right now, I have the direct number to the manager. He said that he will get more codes next week so on April 27th I will call them and if they don't have anything I will call him each and every day after that until they give me what I rightfully deserve. If you are in my shoes I would upright demand to speak to a manager -- as from my experience, this is the only way to get things moving.

I had a problem with my Motorola X that required repair. Motorola sent me a new phone and I returned my old (defective phone) soon thereafter. I received confirmation from Motorola that they had received my defective phone. After that, Motorola charged me for not returning my phone. Since that charge, I've contacted Motorola about a dozen times (through email, over the phone, through chat) trying to get this issue resolved. These Motorola employees tell me they recognize the problem, and have told me they will process my refund. Whether due to inexplicable incompetence or malice, Motorola hasn't refunded me the money in months. Every time I try to get this resolved, I have wait for about 20 minutes on the phone.
At this point, I don't care as much about the money back as much as I care about ensuring that Motorola doesn't profit off avoiding giving me back my money. I have never encountered a more incompetent customer service department in any industry. I will never purchase another Motorola product, and I sincerely advise anyone to avoid having to deal with Motorola's customer service.

I can not believe this: On April 1, my Moto G stopped working for the second time, so Motorola issued a replacement. I received an email on 1:00 pm that day, with a shipment label to FedEx and a tracking number, saying the deliver would be next day. Now 8 days passed, NOTHING has been sent to FedEx yet!!! Despite I called many times, they kept saying "it is still in 5-8 business window," or "nothing we can do." The worst one I talked to was a manager I talked on 4/6. When I told him it has been 5 days nothing was sent out to FedEx, he even said "it is perfect." On 4/6 evening, 4/8 and yesterday, after I called and Twittered for help, 3 representatives issued escalated checking, and told me someone would call me with status "within 24 hours." So far over 72 hours passed from Monday, still NO ONE contacted me. It has been almost 10 days since Motorola created that FedEx shipping label, but send NOTHING to FedEx!!!

I bought a Moto X off the Moto Maker site and from the time I received it I had nothing but problems for 2 weeks. People couldn't hear me, the phone would continually reboot, power off and not power on, and applications would stop working. During this time I called Motorola support several times where they walked me through the process of clearing out the cache, run a recovery, restore to factory settings and so forth. Nothing worked. I wanted to return the phone for another one but was then told they believe the phone was rooted. I didn't even know what this meant. I was told they had a flag saying the phone was rooted and that this voids the warranty. I asked with all the crashes the phone has had could there be a false positive generated by their system. I was told it is possible, but this didn't change their decision to void the warranty. I asked for some documentation on this but was told they can't provide anything.

Roadster 2 TZ 710 bluetooth speaker - Unit purchased from Wireless OEM shop, 1/14/15. Recvd., 1/30/15. Order # **/Motorola Ref. #**. Paired it per instructions successfully immediately. It has been asking to pair it nearly every time I get close to it with my cell phone. I ignore that request now, and it connects without??? It is used strictly with my cell phone "LG". Always located within 12 to 24" of each other. I keep the Roadster charged nightly. Use never more than 2 hr a day at most. The unit disconnects and reconnects "BY ITSELF" every time I use it... I don't use it anymore, too annoying. Duration 5 to 10 minutes. Sometimes shorter!
My reception is very good, I am hearing impaired... The party receiving the call complaints of... Feedback, muffled/garbled, can't make out the words, their reception is inconsistent, bad quality, no matter how I speak, having tried every which way, yet, sometimes it works OK, for 15 minutes at a time! But, that is seldom! This unit was defective from NEW! I have patiently experimented differently in voice, enunciation etc... still same problems experienced... I have no problems with other phones! Then why with this unit??? The front screen came apart the first day at the top right side above the switch by itself, was not dropped! I taped it together and it's holding!
As for technical support, your lady tech agents are very discourteous and rude, talk too fast, keeps talking over me while am still describing defects.They need training in telephone courtesy, Asking them to please let me finish does no good. I asked to identify herself, could not make out what she said! I finally asked for another agent who speaks clear English and at a lower voice pitch, in short, she hung up on me! Inconsiderate, Despicable employee! I refuse to call anymore, this was my second try, too aggravating experience, and why am writing this complaint... All I want is a working unit, you will not hear from me again! Please send me an RO to return this unit before you send a good honestly, pre-tested one !!! I will only accept written reply communication to prevent misunderstandings.

I like to periodically clear the cache on my Motorola Droid Maxx. The phone must be "turned off" to begin this process. You're then suppose to hold the "volume down" key for approx. 3 sec and then tap the "power button" after which it is suppose to bring you to a list from which you can select your action. When I'm home I generally keep my phone to the charger. After many attempts to complete this process I discovered that the phone continued to reboot from the off status.
You should NOT have the phone connected to your charger when performing this process, otherwise it will continue to re-boot. Do make sure your phone is charged adequately 25% or better before performing any similar process that might take a few minutes to complete since you won't have the auxiliary power on stand-by.

My cell phone, a Moto G, I suspect designed to fail, at least the functions that consumers look forward to. First, you should know that Google does not like the downloading & installation of apps from other app stores (a ** understatement). So the first thing that goes wrong with my cell, the package installer fails - it can only install apps from their ** Play Store. I contact Motorola & tell them my problem & all I got was a bunch of employees reciting company policy. Nobody I was forwarded to could do anything but repeat the last assclown I spoke to & I was still under warranty & to top it all off, I got the Sprint version of said phone not knowing I don't have coverage in my area. They make the same phone with AT&T, which I'm covered, with a busted installer & a phone that can't get coverage. You would think they would take my phone & give me the AT&T version & fix the flawed phone - not even close.
I spent 4 hrs. on a land line phone being told Moto policy from a bunch of yahoos. They would not even contact Wal-Mart so I could exchange. They fought like hell to not help, to make sure I was frustrated & ** irate for of course, the dial tone - it felt so set up. They are obviously trained to frustrate consumers until they give up. ** Google. They intentionally set up a flawed installer that only works at Google. The only solution is to root/jailbreak your phone, which they intentionally flawed the superuser/binary relationship so rooting is near impossible. It seems no big deal right, just a cell phone.
Well, not everybody has money to throw around on electronics. When purchased a lot of hope is put into that & to get treated like my purchase of their product doesn't matter has me feeling so belittled I'm now getting teary eyed & have to spend more money on another cell phone. I know you can't do anything, your probably owned by Google & this letter will get ignored & erased, so why I'm writing this is to just get this out there. I feel so ignored, robbed, mistreated, ** around by Motorola. They should not have a business. I work at a fine little inn & when consumers complain, we don't give them company policy, we fix the flaw & correct for future efforts.

I had my new 2014 Moto X for about 5 months and not long ago I dropped it out of my car; yes the screen was smashed in several places. Bummer, I have no insurance either. So I decided to contact Motorola asking the repair price, they asked to see photos of the phone, etc. and if I had bought it from them direct (off the Motorola website). They had replied that it's out of a warranty repair but as a goodwill gesture, they would repair it FOR FREE. Couldn't believe this.
So they sent a prepaid label to me to send off the phone, DHL to Germany of all places! Further still, they actually sent me a voucher code TO DESIGN A NEW ONE ON THEIR WEBSITE FOR FREE! So I'm now the proud owner of a new X (different colour scheme now) and I've not dropped a penny. Motorola were very quick in response, and as you can see have an excellent customer service, I'm amazed and so is everyone I've told. So just a huge thanks to Motorola for their exceptional customer service.
