I have the Moto G and for some odd reason it stopped working. It said something about sprint and I've never used that carrier before. So I called up the company and they convinced me to do an advanced exchange (that's where they put a $100 hold on your credit card and you get the phone first and then send it the broken one). At the moment it seemed like a good idea but the next day I called back and talked to a representative about canceling it and he talked me into not canceling it. They told me that I'd get the replacement by the end of the week and it never came. I spent days messaging and calling them but they kept telling me they couldn't help and to call back. Two weeks later I finally get some help and I do a normal return and exchange. I get my phone a week later.
I tried to activate my new phone and I couldn't. I called up Motorola and a representative told me that it wasn't a Boost mobile phone after he tried to activate it multiple times. They sent a different carrier phone in a Boost mobile box. I called back today and I have to send the phone back and wait another week for the right phone. They said they'd give me a accessory to compensate for the inconvenience but I don't care for one. I'd just like the right phone! It's going onto a full month. I've paid my bill and can't even use the phone. Wasted money and time. From the reviews I've read, Motorola is going downhill fast. They keep screwing people over. The customer service is practically nonexistent. To say I'm frustrated and angry would be an understatement. I don't understand why they can't get it right.

I purchased a Motorola G phone. It was a really good phone until the screen went out after just 4 months. I contacted Motorola for a warranty repair, was told to send it in and it would be replaced after 2 weeks. I had to start calling to find out where my replacement was and was told I would receive it in a few days. Got the new phone, it worked a week and it started shutting off all the time for no reason. So I called Motorola again, was told to do the same thing again. After several exchanges, the last one I was sent came to me not working out of the box.
By this time upset wasn't even the word so I called again and went through several agents supervisors and was told I would get a call back as to what to do next. I would never receive a call. After many calls, I was told I would get an upgrade but that never happened either. Now I was told to email a copy of my receipt and I will get a refund which I have done but I'm sure I know what the result of that will be. Motorola has hands down the worst customer service I have ever dealt with.

I ordered 12 Motorola radios with the promise that I would get two free radios. I completed my application online, including serial numbers of each radio. I followed up to see where my two free radios were and was told that I didn't complete the rebate application properly, the rebate expired and I won't be getting my radios. Motorola must be in trouble since it has resorted to screwing its customers. Beware!

Hi, My name is Swapnil **. I bought a new Moto G2 in the month of november 2014. Right from the first day, I thought there was a problem with the phone. I felt it was an old phone. It produced click sound on some calls. I did not paid attention.
After some days, the phone when connected to the charger started operating on its own, clicking images, making calls, etc. Also, I could never connect it to the pc. I gave the phone in the service center in vashi in sector 17. Its been more than 10 days now, the phone is still in service center and I have got no call from them. When I call them, no one answers the phone. Really bad experience. I feel that I made a wrong choice to buy this phone and the customer service is really ugly.

I was attracted to moto x phone that was offered and did my research. I had a phone custom made since I wanted to personalize and use for a while. The phone was great until the screen stopped working. I sent for a replacement and they told me the options and I was under the impression that motorola would send me a replica and receive it in 4-5 business days. No one called me and even the chats and email from them after our conversation said everything was fine yet the device was unable to track in shipping.
2-3 weeks went by. I called, was put on hold for 30 minutes and bounced around. People on the phone seemed very confused and not ones I felt had it together. The last person I spoke to tried to transfer me after saying he couldn't help me and told me that they no longer "manufacture" the moto x 1st generation. Mind I have you I custom made it and ordered roughly 7 months prior. Finally They said they would send me a 2nd generation phone that was not to the customization that I ordered and paid for. I was unable to replicate the colors that I wanted. I just didn't feel it was a smooth process and that I was getting what I paid for in regards to want I wanted. We will see if I get the phone in the mail.

The Moto G is advertised to have 8 GB of available internal storage. It does not. It has 5.52 GB as the operating system uses a whopping 2.48 Gigabytes. This is not explained at purchase and advertising suggests 8 GB are fully available to the consumer. Further, the phone accepts an SD card up to 32 GB for additional storage, however only small portions of applications can be stored on the card.
A recent download of an application of 1.2 GB resulted in only 325 MB available to move to the SD card. This in effect used up a significant amount of the already low internal storage. This would not be an issue except for the fact that the marketing suggests both 8 GB of internal storage and an additional 32 GB would be available for use. The reality is only 69% of the internal storage is available and based on my estimates only 27% of application data can be used on the additional storage effectively making only a small fraction of the storage capacity useable as promised.
The Text To Speech feature, critical to hands free driving for users without Bluetooth recently stopped working. According to Motorola this is due to a recent update. They have no estimate for a fix and no solution. This makes the device unusable in a car. If this was a major feature for your purchase it makes the phone unusable in this situation.
Dealing with customer service was a nightmare. First, I was not called back as promised. Then when I called I had to wait over 1/2 hour in the queue. Then the person I spoke with wanted me to explain the issue even though he had notes. Then he put me on hold twice for 10 minutes each only to come back with news that there is no solution and no time frame for a solution.
I asked to speak to a manager - her name was Zuma. It turns out she was not a manager. She said also there was no fix and no solution. I asked to speak to someone that could help. She refused several times, but finally found a real manager. His name was Mario. He suggested we roll back the update and this would fix the issue until the new update was available. I made the changes, but the issue still is not fixed. I will now need to download a third party app to get the feature I want, but this solution will completely use up my internal storage, which goes back to the original issue mentioned above, that the phone does not have the storage that is advertised.

We switched phone companies and I was told the Moto G was an excellent phone. Great, Bought it. Loved it until it stopped charging one day. Took it to Cricket, they tried to recharge/reboot it...nothing! They called Motorola set up the warranty information with them and they were to send me a new Moto G upon receiving my broken one. That was on the 27th of December. It is now 6 phone calls & 9 Motorola representatives later, it is the 13th of January and I still don't have a phone back.
They sent me an email saying they were fixing my phone and sending it back so I called and told them they told me, and the warranty says, they would replace it with a new phone. Then they said they had no more Moto G's. Well, I said that's not my problem. Send me something compatible or better. Oh...would I take a Moto X?? Well, yes I would. Ok, we will send it and you will receive it in three days. By Saturday the 10th. Great!!
The 10th & 11 passed by. I called yesterday to see where my phone was and the agent says, 'let me see'. She puts me through the same barrage of questions and after 30 minutes says "let me transfer this call to someone who can help you"!!! She transfers me and I am on hold for 30 minutes and finally hung up. Call back and no one will pick up. Finally after another hour I get someone on the phone and ask for a supervisor immediately. We talked for another 45 minutes because not only did Motorola NEVER send out my Moto X, now I am told they no longer have any Moto X's but they now have refurbished Moto G's!!
I have settled for a Moto G LTE which I have never heard of before, he could not tell me when it was being sent out which means I may NEVER get my phone. It will probably be refurbished and I bet it won't work or it will quit working shortly after I receive it which is what I am reading on these complaints! They are all the same complaints and what can anyone do about it?? What is our recourse??? We don't have one except to never ever buy another Motorola product again!!!

On 12/14/2014 I called to see if Motorola could help me fix my phone and they sent a shipping label to my email account. I took my device to FedEx and shipped it on 12/15/20014. I was told that it would be up to 9 days to return my device to me, 2days to ship to Fort Worth, Texas, and 4 days to process the phone, then 3 days to return to me. A week went by and I called to get a tracking number, and was told that there was no replacement for the device, but they would upgrade my order and gave me a new RMA # for a first gen. Motox. Well that's good and all, I don't ever get any upgrades or win things, but still until this day I never received any such phone.
I called to get a tracking number like I was told then checked email, NOTHING! The customer reps that I spoke with promised me and said "if it doesn't get shipped this time, we will send you something extra for your trouble." I called back and felt like I was begging to have them do what they promised!! I love Motorola, used every device that I could afford, but now I am very unsure about what they think of their loyal costumers like myself. Just a last thing, if I had been on other side of dispute I would have given whole set, cord, phone, like it does in store. Thank you for your time in this matter.

I purchased (rather, pre-ordered) a Nexus 6 from Motorola on Nov 12. Estimated shipping date was Dec 10. Later, during thanksgiving, I found the same phone at a local store and bought it. I then called Motorola to cancel the order. The phone had not been shipped yet. Motorola said they could not cancel the order. They suggested I contact Motorola for an RMA once I get the phone, and then return it.
I eventually got the phone on Dec 5 and contacted Motorola (online) and was issued a case number/RMA. I got an email that I would receive shipping instructions in another email in a few hours but nothing came for the next two days. I called Motorola and after giving all the information again, they sent the email with return instructions. I had not even opened the package so I used the same box, stuck the new Fedex label (removed all old labels) and shipped it back. Fedex tracking confirmed delivery to Motorola a few days later. I was told to wait for two weeks to get the refund. I got absolutely no notification from Motorola that they had received the phone.
After waiting for 2 and a half weeks, I called them to check on return status. They asked for all the details again (even though I gave them the RMA/Case number). They asked for the tracking number as well (even though they were the ones that sent me the shipping label). They confirmed through FedEx that the phone was received. Yet, they could not tell me when I would get the refund. They asked to call back again if I did not get a refund in 2 days.
It was already over three weeks by this time - and more than month since I ordered the phone. I called again after 2 days because there was no notification from Motorola and there was no refund. Same episode repeated again and I was told that refunds are handled by another department (which they could not connect me to) and that I would have to wait some more time. I asked them if they could at least send an email notifying me that they got the phone and were processing my refund but they could not do that either.
I waited for some more days, and having not heard from Motorola and not seeing any refund, I eventually raised a dispute with my credit card (Amex) and Amex refunded the money the very next day! To this day, I have not heard from Motorola. It has been more than 1 1/2 month that I returned the phone, and close to 2 months that I ordered the phone. Motorola may make some great devices but until they get their act together with regards to ordering and customer service, they should stop selling devices from their website.

I had got a phone from Cricket Wireless and after 2 months the phone turned off on me while I was on the phone. I been contacting Motorola warehouse in Irving Texas. I was told that I was going to get a replacement phone. I sent in my defective phone. Motorola then sent me a replacement phone, which they stated was new but found out the phone was also defective, couldn't even get any service off the Motorola phone, then sent me a replacement phone, and that phone was also defected couldn't even get any service off the phone. Then I sent my phone to FedEx. Called FedEx wondering why the phone has not been delivered on the promise day. FedEx then stated that they lost the package that had my defective phone in it and I sent it to the Motorola warehouse.
I called Motorola and Motorola said that they don't have the phone and they're not going to giving me a replacement phone. I've been calling Motorola since December 15th of 2014 all the way up to January 2nd 2015 to get a replacement phone that they're not going to replace the phone. Every time I call Motorola I'm on hold for at least 2 hours to get to a representative in each and one of the representative has an excuse every time that I talk to them. So now I am stuck without a phone because Motorola is failing to replace my defective phone. I would beware of Motorola and Cricket because they are crooks.

Ordered an accessory for my phone directly from Motorola in Nov 2014 when I received the shipment notice in early Dec I had changed my address. Called Motorola and asked for a shipping address change. Initially consumer support said that they couldn't change the shipping address and could not cancel the order. I then called again and talked to a customer service rep who took my new address. Eventually the item was shipped to my old address and had to be return to motorola.

I recently ordered a Moto X 2nd generation from my provider, Republic Wireless. The phone was awesome. However, to make a long story short, I dropped it and the screen slightly cracked in the bottom right corner. This was 100% my fault and I contacted Motorola about it and they told me it voided the warranty and I would have to pay $125 dollars plus tax to replace it: fair enough. They promptly charged my credit card, issued a shipping label via email, and told me to ship it via FeDex. They stated that I would receive the phone in 4 to 5 business days. I complied by shipping the phone the very next day, December the 17th. I checked FeDex the next day and they stated that the phone arrived the morning of the 18th. Sure enough, 5 business days pass and it was December the 24th, Christmas Eve. No phone. I called Motorola and gave them the reference code for my case. They told me that I would need to provide a FeDex tracking number in order for them to track my repair.
However, I could not get the tracking number because the email they sent to me with a link to the tracking number expired after 5 days (they never told me I would need this tracking number in the future, so after I made sure the package was delivered, I did not bother to write it down). It seems that Motorola doesn't have the slightest clue how to handle customers. I was transferred numerous times and spoke to many different customer service representatives, giving them my basic information (name, address, phone number, reference number, reason for calling) every single time. Needless to say, this got very aggravating after the third time through. After giving them this information, they asked for the tracking number, which I could not provide. They told me to call FeDex. I did and FeDex could not help me because I didn't have adequate information for them to find the number. One of the customer service reps put me on hold while she "called FeDex for me." After holding for 15 minutes, I was connected to a new rep with no explanation of what had happened! This seems to be a common theme at Motorola: just keep passing the buck and deferring responsibility. This simple phone call ended up taking me 2 hours of my life because of this reason.
Finally, I call back and get someone who actually helps me. He says he will put my case as high priority and I will receive the phone sometime next week. I tell him that I'm a little frustrated because I fulfilled my end of the deal by paying the money they asked for, but they did not come through on their end. He essentially tells me that there is nothing he can do. So it's now December 25th, Christmas day. I don't have the phone I was supposed to receive yesterday. I'm hoping to receive it sometime next week, but who knows with Motorola. All in all, I am very upset with the level of customer service they provided.

I purchased Motorola's Moto G in June 2014. The phone operated without any significant problems for five months. In December, the phone stopped booting into its OS; it would only show a 0% battery icon (note that I had not been given any notification about the battery getting low leading up to that point). I charged the phone and tried a few methods suggested on tech support forums. When that did not work, I called Motorola's tech support hotline, which is where the problem moved from annoyance to outrage.
The service offered by Motorola was slow, incompetent, and only barely friendly. Technicians were difficult to hear and understand, and they failed to communicate with each other, forcing me to repeat the symptoms my phone was showing several times. When the suggested troubleshooting attempts did not work, Motorola offered to replace the phone. At that point, I mentioned that the phone had a cracked screen from when it was dropped six weeks earlier. When the support technicians learned of this, they rescinded the offer to replace the phone free of charge, and would only do so with a $75 fee to repair the screen. No amount of explanation that the two problems were clearly separate, and that the phone had suffered no performance issues between the phone being dropped and the phone ceasing to boot managed to sway the technicians from their script: they would not replace the defective phone because of cosmetic damage done by the user. If the screen were never broken, I am certain the same problems would have occurred, but this made no difference to Motorola: if you break your screen there is no hope for you in tech support, they will not help you without a fee.

Well I called Motorola 3 times. The first rep hung up on me. The second rep stated that he would email me a label to return the merchandise and that once they received the merchandise they would then ship out a phone for me. Not to mention I have no secondary phone and it’s around the holidays. I asked for his supervisor cause that is just too long and he kept me on hold for 18 minutes and said "unfortunately my supervisor cannot take this call at this time". I told Jose “When a customer asks for a supervisor you go and get a supervisor whether it’s yours or someone else’s.” The customer service department of Motorola is very unprofessional and provides awful customer service. I then spoke to them online and of course same thing. I had to keep repeating myself over and over again and she finally got tired and transferred me to her supervisor whom then proceeded to be rude as well.... I will NEVER buy another phone from MOTOROLA EVER and I will never recommend one. BAD BAD BAD.

My brand new Droid Razr Maxx had a horrible mic - no one I spoke to on the phone could hear me clearly, so I contacted Motorola for a repair. The online chat person was extremely helpful, walking me through a few things I could try before sending the phone in, but it eventually was decided that I needed to send it in. I opted to put down a $200+ deposit to have them send me the replacement phone beforehand, as I have no other phone, and the agreement was that they would ship within 6 days. Days and days passed. I could not find any tracking information whenever I logged on to the site. I went back to online chat, and was kept there, being passed from one person to another, only to be told that I would need to call the 800 number. So I did.
After being on hold for close to 15 minutes, I got a live person on the line, who first told me that they did not have the model I wanted in stock, so they couldn't ship me a replacement phone. I questioned why no one had informed me of this, and he then offered me an upgrade - which frankly I don't want, as none of my accessories will fit it. Then he suddenly discovered that it had not yet been a full 6 BUSINESS days, and he retracted everything he had said, and told me to just be patient and wait. When I questioned if they would in fact have a phone in stock for me in two additional days, he said "sure". We are now at the end of 6 business days, and there is still no tracking information, and I still don't have a working phone.

I bought a Motorola Moto E from Tescos in June 2014. September I contacted Tescos as part of the screen blacked out.

There is no visible damage to phone, screen not broken, not been dropped. I phoned Motorola who advised I send it to their repair center, I did. Letter back saying damaged display, not covered under warranty. I have e-mailed them saying I am concerned this damage can just happen to their phone, especially as it is advertised as having Gorilla Glass Protection. I am very dissatisfied with the quality of the phone as I feel if the display can break so easily then it is not fit for purpose. Still awaiting feedback from Motorola.

I placed on order for a Moto360 on 9/16. After more and more bad reviews emerged, I decided to cancel the order the next day. It had not been shipped and wouldn't be for several days as it had an estimated delivery date of 9/24. I had no luck with online support on several occasions. Tried calling in and the reps are unable to cancel orders older than 2 hours. The case was "escalated" several times with no avail. I spoke to a supervisor who confirmed my order was "cancelled" sometime between 9/18-9/19 and then the order managed to continue in the system and updated to "picked" status in the warehouse. She also confirmed that there is a known glitch in their system causing this problem and that the product might actually ship and will be delivered BEFORE the issue is resolved and I receive my refund. I spoke to another rep today 10/3 and she confirmed my previous conversation then called the "warehouse" where they didn't have a status on the order either. She advised me to wait.
I don't blame the reps as they are at the mercy of the ordering system which clearly doesn't work as it should and they did try to help me. Not to mention I have yet to receive an email or phone call to confirm my issue is being worked on or some resolution is in the works. At this point I may have actually been relieved to see the product delivered and would have kept it but Motorola doesn't seem to know where the product is, if it's ready to ship, if it has shipped or where my refund is. If pre-sales and sales support is this bad, I'd be terrified to see what their tech support or warranty process is like. Motorola has lost a customer for life and I will be spreading the word.

Ordered Moto X, being told that I would receive free shipping & return, full amount of money. The wait on phone is always horribly long. And the reps cannot speak English fluently and very hard to understand. I cannot understand anything that he said. Asked to transfer to someone else who can speak English, he totally ignored me. And he clearly does not understand me either. I told him one thing and he understand it another thing. It was really frustrated. And most people in that same department just like him.
Ordered second Moto X one by mistake, so returned. Asked them for 3 return labels for 10 times, and only got 2. Gave up and send in with 2 labels provided. Ended up they refund not the whole amount I ordered. Contacted them again. And they claimed they don't refund sale tax :| WTF. Argue with the supervisor that I ALWAYS received tax refund on purchases, he kept insist that it is the law. Such **. Call Moto sale department and this other guy said it is refundable. And this guy is really helpful, unlike those ignorant ones. I swear Motorola should fire the whole team @ 1800-734-5870. Every time I called them, they are nothing but trouble, not helpful and always blame customers. Why would Motorola pay for those that does not even doing their job?

Moto X (32 GB) Arrived June 13, 2014. 30 July 2014 - Phone screen burns out in a V shape and another spot in the corner. Call in to Moto Maker - they say 2-3 days and you will have a replacement phone. I am happy. 1 August 2014 Call in for status and Motorola says it will arrive tonight or Saturday. Still happy great news. 4 August 2014 Call in for status - phone will arrive tomorrow. Frustrated. 7 August 2014 Call in for status. "Sorry we have no phones in stock for RW and have no idea when we will be able to ship your phone. Want a refund that will take 4 to 6 weeks to process."
So I have no phone for a week. Now I am told they do not know when they will get me a replacement, or I can wait over a month for my money to be returned. Moto Maker is a failure and at best their customer service is deceptive.

I have been waiting for over 4 days now for a response from Motorola about help for my 88-year-old mother-in-law's MWX416 cell phone which had quit working and was giving her a series of K codes. Twice I tried the chat line and waited nearly 1/2 hour each time, only to be told (after seeing I was #1 in the queue) that no agents were available. Try again. So twice I sent an email request and was told they would get back to me within 24 hours. Still waiting four days later! Cannot find a different Motorola contact email or phone number on Google.

I am very disappointed in Motorola Customer Service department. I filed a replacement order on 7-18-14 for my Moto X phone, due to the charger port no longer being able to hold a charge. It is still under the manufacturer warranty I assume, since I won it from Extra TV in December of 2013. I gave them the IMEI number and they wanted a receipt but I do not have a receipt due to me winning the phone from Extra TV. I even emailed them a copy of the letter that was included with the phone, from Extra TV. Every time I call, they tell me the claim has been escalated to another department and someone will call me back. Yet here it is two weeks later, with no phone and I have yet to have my issue resolved. Not happy with the process at all. Can anyone offer any solutions or suggestions on how to deal with this issue?

I am experiencing some problems from my Moto G which I ordered from flipkart, 6 month back the device. Problem was something like this: problem occurred 2 months after I ordered my Moto G. I was using the device from 2 months, the device was running just fine. I connected the charger at 6:00 and at 9:00 it was charged. I removed the connector and it went black, no sign of life. Next day I ran to the Motorola's service center and they reported a water damage and they demanded 5400 rs. Therefore I told my parents this issue and after an argument I paid them the money.
It worked just perfect for another 4 months then a week back I used the device whole night and the battery was down to 3% and I continued using the phone. As a result the phone died after a couple of min. I kept the device on the side table and went off to sleep. Next morning I woke up and connected the handset to the included charger. Hence the handset did not turn on I rushed to the service center again and then they reported water damage and it would cost 80% of the handsets cost. Now what shall I do and I want a replacement of the order or any thing other helpful solution.

I had a phone with Motorola and the charging piece came off of the motherboard. I had asked them to fix it. Gave them the phone and when I got my phone back, they fixed other problem but never fixed my phone so I can charge it. When I had told them my phone can't charge because the piece is not on the motherboard and you never fixed it when I sent you the phone in the first place. You need to fix my phone. They told me the first time I gave my phone to them it was free to fix and mail to them. The second time was going to cost me $90. I said if you had fixed the phone's charging piece and had it put back on the motherboard so that I can charge my battery, I wouldn't have to send the phone back for a second time. You should have fixed my phone the first time with the charging part. They said well there's nothing we can do now until you pay $90 then we fix the problem.

I dropped my Droid Maxx phone and broke the screen. I was pleased to learn that Motorola would replace my phone for $199 with a refurbished phone. I called Motorola's repair program, paid the fee, was given an RMA and Incident Number, and was told the phone would ship in 7 days. When I didn't receive the phone after 9 days, I called. Motorola told me that the phone hadn't been shipped. They had no explanation why.
So I ordered another phone... it took 1 HOUR AND 3 MINUTES for Motorola to take my new order and pay them a second time. 1 HOUR AND 3 MINUTES to take my credit card number and shipping address! This is the most ridiculous customer service I have ever dealt with and Motorola should be embarrassed by the quality of their repair program.

I am going through the same things right now with my Moto G. I too have had to wait 3 weeks now and still no phone. They keep telling me they are out of the part that they need for my phone, then they tell me they will send me a Moto X because I have waited so long, then tell me they are out of stock of both the Moto G & Moto X, then say they will elevate it to the next level. I have chatted with them, talked on the phone with them, over and over again all to no avail. I keep getting the run around. I bought my Moto G when it first came out, and it was great up until the screen started showing a dime sized white spot whenever the background on the phone was black. I am getting nowhere with Motorola at all. I am going to ask them for their legal department, so I can take them to small claims. Maybe that will get their attention. They had my phone for several day prior to them updating their website saying that they had received my phone. However, I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Wasted effort for sure.

Motorola Razr Maxx battery expired 2/25/14.

Customer Service Representative stated the RMA number would be emailed within 10-20 minutes, as well as a prepaid shipping label from Fed-Ex. Both emails were received. The Fed-Ex email was an inanimate directive. HOWEVER, the Motorola email had a life of its own...a missive with bad intentions that increased the replacement quote from $49.99 + tax to $109.00 + tax. Attempted to email Motorola Customer Service, but received a permanently failed delivery notice.

I live in Brazil and had a short stay in US in December this year. I've ordered a Moto G phone and a power pack on December 5th (Thursday) with two days shipping option, so, I should get the my order delivered by Monday, December 9th. On Friday, December 6th, I got an e-mail informing that my shipping would be late because of storm. Few minutes after I got this e-mail I called Motorola asking to cancel my order. Their answer was that they could not cancel my order because it hasn't been shipped (what doesn't make sense at all to me).
As my flight back to Brazil was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon I insisted that I wanted to cancel the order and finally the CS supervisor told me that if my order didn't ship by Monday she would cancel it. On Friday I got a notice that the package had been delivered. Checking the tracking code, I could see that the package was shipped on Thursday (December 12th) when I was already back to Brazil. Not quite what the CS supervisor and I agreed.
Today, December 27th, I called again to complain and they informed that my package was returned but FEDEX lost it. The supervisor (another one this time) kindly informed me that as soon as FEDEX finds the package they would refund me. Honestly, I expected a lot more from Motorola. A mess from the start until now. A little more respect with the customer's money would be appreciated here.

Do not use the service repair or warranty service. They have had my phone for 12 days now. Still not repaired. No answers on the RMA repair form online, no tracking information. If you call all they say is it is in repair and will be a few days. Every time you call excuses and they will tell you why your device is still in repair. They will count days and keep putting it off another 24-48 hours. Yes, sorry but it takes 24 - 48 hours to respond to our requests. So it has only been 10 days and we requested information yesterday so it will be 2 days or SOONER maybe.
BEWARE, BEWARE. I read these before I sent it and called to do the repair ticket thinking this would be better and it would be done correctly. How hard is it to replace the software, or fix a screen?? I mean seriously, I still went ahead with it because they were great on the phone to get the repair and then all Hell broke loose. I should of listened to the complaints!!!! Still 12 days and no phone. Still giving excuses. The first is “we received your phone but the customer service that entered the info did not do it correctly so I have to redo the order and it will be expedited from there.” OK I will make sure this is followed through.
Wait 5 days and still no info on the website, no info on when you call, no info on tracking they send you. They say it takes 5 - 10 business days and it will be done in 2 days as promised. I am sorry for your troubles. I understand. They read from a prompt, and give excuses excuses!!! DO NOT USE THEM. PAY EXTRA FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE LOCAL TO FIX. They will not put supervisors on the phone, will not give you any malformation but EXCUSES!!!! BEWARE, BEWARE, BEWARE. DO NOT USE.

I have been involved with technical support on and off for over 10 years now, and worked for a variety of companies. Trying to deal with Motorola has reminded me of everything I was taught to avoid when dealing with customers: asking the same questions twice, no follow up except when I contacted them to complain and IT TOOK THEM A WHOLE MONTH TO TELL ME MY PHONE WAS UNREPAIRABLE! By that time, they were apparently out of Droid Maxxes, and so I'm finally getting a free Moto X, which is not the phone I bought, and which is significantly cheaper.
I bought a Droid Maxx Developer Edition, which I loved. Then, through my own fault, the phone was physically damaged. I called Motorola to get it fixed, and told them up front that I knew this wouldn't be covered by warranty and that I would pay the necessary amount. The first person I spoke to told me as much and said to hold on while he checked how much the repair would cost. I was then put on mute instead of hold for 10 minutes, not knowing if I had been disconnected or not - I figured this guy must be new and gave him the benefit of the doubt.
Then another rep takes the line out of nowhere, doesn't name himself and asks me the same questions I just answered, only to tell me that they will charge nothing up front and then send me an e-mail with an estimate when they get the phone. I'm told to expect a FedEx shipping label in my inbox. I get an automated e-mail giving me an RMA number for the repair and a link to the Motorola website to track my repair - the link is broken, because apparently no one updated the template when they redesigned the website. I reply to the e-mail to point this out - turns out it's a dummy e-mail address to which I can't reply, which is not pointed out anywhere in the message.
I wait for two days and contact them saying I never got the label. I am told to expect a new label. I wait another two days, STILL NO LABEL. I contact them AGAIN and get angry and magically get a label in my inbox five minutes into the call after the rep re-sent it with me on the line. I finally ship out the phone, nearly a week after my initial call. Then, GET THIS: I get an automated e-mail from Motorola: "Hey, we're waiting on your phone, but still don't have it! What's going on?" What's going on is that YOU'RE APPARENTLY UNAWARE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN YOUR OWN BUSINESS.
The phone is on its way, and I keep a copy of the tracking number so I can follow it all the way to the repair center. FedEx reports the phone delivered Nov 21st - the repair ticket on the Motorola website still reports the "received on" date as blank. Nov. 23rd - same thing. I get in touch with another rep and get told that the ticket is set to "OPEN", which means they're working on it and have the phone. I know ticketing systems and "OPEN" doesn't mean anything except that it's a new ticket. But I give them the benefit of the doubt. I keep tracking the repair job on Motorola's website and and on the 27th, I finally see the "received on" field has a date - November 27th! So now it's almost two weeks later (these are "business days") FOR NOTHING. But hey, at least they're finally working on it, right?
Wrong. About a week later, I complain and magically get a communication from the repair center. In fact, if there's any M.O. apparent at this point, it's that Motorola only seems to communicate back when you complain, but never acknowledges that it's in response to a complaint and treats it as a coincidence that they happened to update you one to two hours after you first yelled at them. So what does the letter say? "We have determined that this is an out-of-warranty repair and will have to charge you to repair the phone, or we can SEND IT BACK TO YOU UNREPAIRED." I ALREADY STATED IN MY FIRST CALL THAT IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WOULD PAY. Also, if they've looked at it, they know it plain DOESN'T WORK - why would I want my unrepaired phone back? Am I running out of $700 doorstops?
I call back and complain and am told that the repair will be free since THEY'RE THE WORST (my words, obviously). I'm told repairs take 5 business days to complete, after which I will have my phone back. The deadline lapses, again, and I send an e-mail to the repair team, filled with colorful invective and a promise never to use a Motorola product as long as I live. Again, magically, I get an e-mail telling me to call their escalation team with the incident number. I call the line, only to be told, A MONTH LATER IN TOTAL, that my phone is, in fact, UNREPAIRABLE. This is after having them tell me they've taken a look at it and could fix it. I tell them, "Fine, if that's the case, then send me a new phone free of charge because seriously, how can you treat a customer like this?" "Oh, we're out of the Droid Maxx Developer Edition, so we can't replace it".
So, you don't have any refurbished models on hand? You have no stock set aside for replacements at all? "We can send you a Moto X developer edition, but that's all we can do". "You are aware the reason I paid almost $700 for the Droid Maxx was for the large battery size, which is basically the only thing that separates it from a Moto X." "I understand your situation". Great, thanks so much, I guess I'll take it. Never mind the fact you had plenty of Droid Maxxes when I first called you and are out because you ran down the clock hoping to get me to back down.
And this is after pushing them to do something - I have the distinct feeling that the rep was trying to get me to give up and only offered the phone when pressed. At no point did I get anything approaching an actual apology and a "please let us make it up to you". I was lied to, bumped around departments and treated like a nuisance when all I wanted was to get them to repair THEIR product at MY EXPENSE. I did not get the same phone back, got no admittance of any wrongdoing and what amounts to a shrug when stating that I am now DISGUSTED with Motorola and its after-sale support. I have never dealt with such incompetence and contempt in my life.

After waiting a whole month for Moto Maker to be available on Verizon, I was finally able to order my Moto X ($599.99+tax). I received my phone and it was great except for a few defaults. I had to return the phone and get a replacement, or so I thought. I scheduled a standard replacement, where I was instructed to send my phone back and when they receive it, they will send me a PIN to reorder my phone. Well, I never received the shipping label so when I called to get it emailed to me, my return was switched from a standard replacement to an advanced replacement, where you are able to repurchase your phone and when your old phone is received, my Motorola they refund you for the second phone (not what I wanted) so I sent my phone to them and they received it within 12 hours of me sending it to them. So I waited for them to receive my phone to order the new one so I would not be double charged.
Now it is 4 days later and I still have no phone, no PIN and they have my money so I refuse to pay again for another one. I have spoken with probably ten different people including supervisors and not one of them has done anything but tell me they will call me back with a resolution and when they call it's just to tell me they are still waiting and will call me back again. I have never been more dissatisfied with a company in my life. It's astonishing to me that a company can get away with doing this. I have also asked for a refund multiple times and got nowhere. So not only does Motorola have my $599 + money, I do not have a phone, a replacement phone, a way to order my new phone, I have been treated as not one of them cares, it's all just so very frustrating. Would not recommend buying from this company!!

It turns out with the new make it yourself phone, they have to send the phone back to Motorola to change it. It took about 2 hours to figure this out at the store. Then I was told I would have to send it back through Motorola under buyer's remorse program. After about an hour on the phone trying to figure this out, I sent it back and received a message in my e-mail to create my own Moto x again. After all the hassle, I didn't want to continue with buying. The e-mail said the code expired in 13 days and I thought after that, everything would be returned. My bad for thinking that.
I guess having a redemption code is as good as having the product in your hand. I have been charged for the wireless usage and only ever powered the device on at the store before I sent it in. I have a bill with AT&T now for 525 and was charged 260 from Motorola. I called AT&T to straighten out the bill, as I am not using anything under AT&T. They said Motorola never sent them any information that the phone had been returned. I contacted Motorola and they informed me that I am beyond the limits for reimbursement and can not return the phone for credit. (I don't even have a device. It was sent back weeks ago.) They said that I had a code and was supposed to use it to get another phone. The people treated me well. I might have been in the wrong but I am upset that I am being charged for something that I don't have and I am not using.

I have a Motorola WX416 that the main screen went white after only 7 months of light use. It was never dropped or exposed to moisture, and it was in mint condition with not even a scratch or scuff.

They have had the phone for over 2 weeks and the return tracking number they posted is invalid, so I called them today to see what the problem was. I was informed that they are sending the phone back to me unrepaired because they found it was water damaged. I told them it was not possible unless they did the damage. I got really angry and asked for a supervisor who would not relent or be helpful in any way. My conclusion is that they damage or wet the phones upon receipt, then take photos to prove they received it that way so they can reject the repair under warranty. There seems to be no recourse. I have owned LG and Samsung cell phones in the past with no issues. This was my first Motorola phone and I will never buy anything with the Motorola name on it again.

Is there anybody back there? Does anyone care anymore? I've been trying and trying to get Motorola to honor their warranty for two months now. I've been on the phone with them a half dozen times to no avail. The short version of this tale of woe is I had 2 Motorola ear phones. I gave one to my nephew who was in the hospital, making it easier to answer/call using his cell phone. I was using the 2nd ear phone for myself. It was nonfunctional. So, I went to Best Buy and purchased a Motorola Sliver ear phone. The Sliver didn't work... period. It would drop pairing with my phone constantly... My phone was in my shirt pocket.
Best Buy told me I would have to send it back to the manufacturer (Motorola). So, I contacted Motorola Customer Care. They informed how to return it, etc... and I did. I followed their instructions to a T and shipped this package to them 05/31/2013 via USPS. I received the following by email from them. Being a logical person (most of the time) I assumed they had received my package. WRONG!!! So they say.... "We're working on your order! (Ref. # **). Thanks for shopping with Motorola. We've asked our distribution team to pack up and ship your order. As soon as it's ready to go, we'll email you with all the tracking information."
On or about 06/20/2013, I called to inquire about my 2 replacements. This evidently confused them. Their support group told me they had not received my non-working products and they requested a TRACKING #... I told them I had discarded the tracking info since they had sent me the above email, informing me of their receipt of the non-working products, model #s, pricing, sales tax, etc... They would not recognize this as proof that they had, indeed, received my package and they still demand that I give them tracking #. Consequentially, they will not ship me any replacement. I've invested more than $200.00 in these products and they are not being very supportive in the least... HELP!!! Does anyone know how I might pursue this? I don't have any more hair to pull out...

Lately, I have been having problems connecting to the internet with my MacBook Pro. First, I called Apple and they were very helpful but after running some tests, they told me that the problem was with my router. There were too many people on the channel my router was on, and it was creating a sort of "gumming up" making our internet very slow. I wasn't sure how to change channels on my own and didn't want to mess anything up so I called Motorola and had a terrible experience.
First problem: none of the three reps I spoke to spoke clear English... and I'm not simply saying they had accents, but they couldn't even form complete sentences. To make the issue worse, the connection was terrible, which my rep, Gerry, told me was due to his "headset problems". After about 30 minutes, the rep finally got access to my desktop (this was after he put me on hold about twelve times so that he could help other customers). He told me that I don't need to change channels, but that I need to get a more "secure network" because there were "unauthorized users" on my account. I asked him how he knew that, and he just kept repeating "there are unauthorized users." So I said, “Okay, how do I fix that?” And he said they can fix it now, but it would take 45 minutes and cost me $120! And I told him it sounded like a scam and I would really just like to change channels on the router.
So then he said he can do that but for a cost… then he abruptly put me on hold to help "another customer". Then he came back and told me he had to end the call but would call me back in 10 minutes. When he finally called back, he immediately dropped the call then called again and said, "Sorry, my headset is bad." So I decided to just call the Motorola number again and got another rep. The second rep was slightly better but still kept trying to sell me on this $120 "network cleanup" thing, which she couldn't even explain why I needed. Then she went "Okay, I make you $100 offer!" All I called for was to change channels on the router, NOT to be conned into this $100 ** I don't even know if I need. So finally, I got to the manager who said the same stuff except this time he said it will be "$120 JUST to change channels on my router".
I asked him if he could just tell me how to do it myself, and he said, "No you have two options: you can Google it, or you can pay $120 and I'll do it." I told him I felt that he was scamming me, that I don't trust their company and hung up. Five minutes later, the original rep, Gerry, called me back and said, word-for-word to me: "I heard you hung up because you don't trust our company. Well I think that is disgusting!" And I said, "So you called me just to tell me you think it is disgusting that I won't pay $120 to change channels on my router?" And he said, "Yes, I think that is disgusting!"
So after this horrible, TWO-HOUR conversation, I hung up, Googled "how to change channels on your router", changed the channel myself and now my internet works again. WARNING TO EVERYONE: Do NOT buy a Motorola modem or router (or anything for that matter) because if you ever need help with it, they will try to con you. Next time, I am definitely going with Apple.

My husband's phone quit working. I called the Motorola repair center and told the guy what the phone was doing and he said that from what I described, it sounded as if there was a compression crack and that it would be repaired under warranty. And if it was not under warranty, that I would be contacted. So I sent it to them via FedEx. Five days later, I got an email from Motorola saying that they have not received my device. I called them and gave them the tracking number. Five days later, I got an email that they received my device. Periodically, I would go to their website and track my repair and one day, I checked it and it said that it was "being returned unrepaired". I called them up, asked them to please fix it, and gave them my credit card info for $108 to repair the screen. Apparently, it was already in Mexico somewhere so it got sent back to me unrepaired.
So I sent it back the second time for repair, explained that I had already paid for the repair and it was sent back to me AGAIN broken. They said that they did not realize I had paid for it. I sent it back a third time telling the customer service rep that my husband has been without a phone for over a month due to their lack of communication and how terrible it was. So the customer rep said that they would send me a new phone for all the hassle. Last Friday, I got the phone sent to me again, still broken. When I called today on May 28th and went through the whole ordeal again, Earnest in Florida said that I would be refunded my $108 repair fee and he did see that I was told that I would get a free phone. But he said that they no longer can do that and the best thing he can do is to send the phone back to Texas and get it repaired.

Motoactv would not sync music so it required repair. Calling customer service is a nightmare. The staff just seems to read from a script and cannot seem to communicate directly with other departments. Long story, but to keep it brief, I will just give some details. After calling several times and speaking with several level 2 tech people, I was advised to send the Motoactv in, which I did. I was advised that it only required software deleting and reinstalling on Motoactv watch and that would take 24 hours and be returned by FedEx overnight.
After waiting a week, I called to find out what was happening and was told that it took 4 to 5 days. As they had received it on a Wednesday, it would be Tuesday before it would be repaired and sent out. So I accepted that the guy who told me 24 hours had made a mistake. Later the next week having not heard anything, I called and was told it had only just been received on the Tuesday and it would be 4 or 5 days from then. I told the person that the Motoactv had been signed in at Motorola on the Wednesday and was then advised that they had been exceptionally busy so it was only sent to the repair department on the Tuesday?
Eventually, I received it back the following week and guess what? The note with it advised that they found no fault. So I tried to sync and yes, you’ve got it... it still does not sync. After calling more than 12 times in total and speaking to some very arrogant staff (although some are nice), I feel stressed. Imagine paying hundreds of dollars for something that doesn't work and yet there seems to be nothing that I can do about it. It’s unbelievable that a company can be so bad and still trading. I would advise people not to buy from them. Unfortunately, I have already purchased another 2 of these for my husband and son as I thought they were so good and thought that Motorola was a reputable company. How wrong am I?

The Xoom 2 started with battery problems within a few months of purchase. I initially thought the problem is with the charger and bought new charger. I took it in for repair. The support service was initially good; they collected it from me. However, after collection, their support service has continued to fail. The tablet has now disappeared into a black hole. Initially, the only feedback I got out of Motorola was that it is with the repair technician. Now, no one can give me a clear answer as to the status of the tablet. Every time I phone them, I get told that it was dispatched the day before. Furthermore, no one can tell me where it was dispatched to or even which courier company was used. They can only provide a tracking number once it has been delivered - what is the point of having a tracking number then?
Today, the lady agreed that the best way to track the tablet is for me to phone every courier company to check if the dispatch number she gave me matches with the courier company's records. That is their suggestion to get hold of the tablet. Meanwhile, I don't even know if it has been fixed. This is my third Motorola product, and I have had trouble with all of them. The product is of bad quality and the customer support behind it leaves one wishing you made a different purchase choice. I don't know where to turn to in order to get some status update and confirmation that I will get a working tablet back.

I originally had a Motorola Atrix (with the fingerprint sensor!) and had some hardware issues (froze a lot, etc.). I sent it in for repair twice within a couple months. On the 2nd time, they replaced it with a brand new phone and model #, the Atrix 2 (no fingerprint sensor). Don't let the 2 fool you. This phone is a complete **. It has never worked correctly ... ever. It is so slow my old iPhone 3g does circles around it (it's the phone I use when I have to send this ** in for repair). It also has several hardware issues; it will freeze, screen will flicker, touch screen will be completely unresponsive and usually the only way I can "fix" it is to pop the battery and re-boot.
I just got it back from the repair center on Monday (Feb. 11, 2013) and as soon as I boot it up, guess what happens? It freezes. I have to pop the battery and retry. Then this morning (Feb. 15), my alarm was going off and I couldn't turn it off as the touch screen is completely unresponsive, again forcing me to pop the battery. I called Customer Service today and they said that they can't fix the touch screen, no ands, ifs or buts, just can't fix it. It's under warranty! They said to send it in again but obviously they won't do anything and are just biding their time until my warranty expires. Then they can properly tell me to shove off. I will never purchase anything Motorola ever again.

Plastic ear hook broke on my Bluetooth headset Motorola H680. I talked to a chat person who gave me the Motorola customer service number. They wanted to charge me $1.95, which was fine.

I said I would send them a stamped envelope with my name and address on it and they could ship it to me. That way, it would cost $0.45, not $10. They wouldn't do that. Okay, I am the consumer who can decide whether I buy any Motorola products ... and I will never purchase anything from Motorola again.

I purchased my Motoactv 16G Golf Edition on August 31, 2012. I've had so many problems. The battery life is short. You get 4 1/2 to 5 hours if you are lucky while using the GPS function. The claim is that it is water resistant, maybe an eyedropper of water. I use mine for cycling. (I originally bought it for golf.) About 15 miles into a 40-mile ride, it began to rain, not hard, just the typical winter shower in Florida. It rained about 10 minutes. When I arrived home, the on/off and the volume up buttons no longer work. So much for water-resistant.
The other problem that I have encountered is that when I ride I like to use my wireless Motorola headset to listen to music using the Motoactv music function. So when using the GPS for cycling and the music function, the charge to the battery is maybe 1 to 1 1/2 hours and I ride a minimum of 2 hours every day and as much as 3 on the weekends. I can't even get in one ride without having to choose between GPS or music. I have also found that the longer that I have had it, the shorter the full charge time becomes. I paid $300 plus for the Motoactv device, $100 plus for the wireless headset and another $100 plus for sensors and accessories for two bikes - all in over $500 and it lasted 7 months. I went out and bought a Garmin GPS watch and a Nike running watch another $350 to cover for the shortfalls of the Motoactv. Knowing what I have first had experience with the Motoactv, I would never blow another $500 on this piece of junk.
Update: On 1/29/13, I just got off the phone with Motorola customer service. I told them of the issues with the device. I was told that I had a one-year warranty on the device but if they serviced the device and found liquid inside the device, it would void the moisture resistance warranty. I think that Motorola should restate their claim to the exterior case and not the interior components are water resistant. This is a great device if you live in a place it never rains and you never intend to use it for the purpose in which it was designed (sports). I have decided to save myself the shipping and handling fees only to be told that they found moisture in the device. (I know how it was damaged; it rained.) I will never buy any device made by Motorola again. I am a disabled veteran and love to buy American and look to do so whenever possible, but this is one company that will never get another dollar from me. I also made a quick check of all the major sporting goods and golf retailers, and none of them carries this device. That should tell you something about the quality of this. Let's be nice and call it junk.

I explained the problem and the Motorola rep told me he would note that the screen was cracked on my repair order and said that when I send it in, include a note stating the device was working prior to the ICS update. I paid for shipping and sent it off McAllen, Texas with the RMA number being **. They received it and sent it right back unrepaired. I called Motorola and spoke to Melody **.

I contacted Verizon, who informed me that they would send me a refurbished phone. Great, I go from a brand new phone to now owning someone else's headache! I decided to go through Motorola directly and began sending the phone back on 7/22/2012. This was a huge mistake as today is 8/17/2012 and I still do not have my phone.

It only lasted 4 to 5 weeks before it started acting up again. We had to have another factory reset done this week. We have had Motorola phones for years and had great service from them. This so-called "smart" phone seems to be an oxymoron based on its performance. I guess we will have to be out more money to buy a competitor's brand so that she can indeed have a reliable smartphone.

The charger lasted three weeks, and it also failed. I again contacted the repair department, and they requested that I send the unit itself in for repair, which I did.
After one week, the unit failed again. Once again, I was on the phone to the repair department. I requested a refund of the purchase price for the tablet. I was told the unit had to be sent in twice before a refund could be issued. I sent the unit in a second time, received it back, and two hours later, it failed again. Again, I called the repair department, and they requested that I send in the tablet along with copies of the bill of sale, which I did. I then received a call telling me that they could not refund my money but they would send me a refurbished unit. I did agree with this decision, but it seemed there was nothing I could do. So I agreed.

I have again requested my money be returned, but I was being told they cannot do a refund, even though the warranty booklet very plainly states that it's an option.

Pension check held for 12 years with no interest: Motorola Solutions issued me a check for my pension on 5/17/2000 and had my money for 12 years (I assume in an interest generating fund). They said I changed address and the check was returned to them vial mail. That is strange because all my other mails found me. The amount of the check, that included a 20% IRS deduction, was $3450.23. Is that enough to interest a lawyer? My pension total must have been $4306.25, which they say was short of the $5000 minimum and they wanted to settle the account.
When I left Motorola in 1991, they informed that someday I would be paid monthly (not expecting much of a payment). However, I was not aware of Motorola’s payout on 5/17/2000 and never received a 1099 form. The other day, they contacted me and wanted to issue me a check for the same amount as of 5/17/2000.

I know it is not much money, but I feel cheated and am willing to take my complaint to any organization or legal action.

Within two months the prong on the cell phone was damaged by the charger, which wiggles around in the slot every time I try to charge it. This is a defect of the charger/phone that caused the damage. I didn't drop it, or step on it, or in any way manipulate the device to cause this damage. Now, instead of replacing the phone under warranty, which they should due to a manufacturing defect they want me to pay $130 dollars to replace it!
This means a phone that broke within two months will cost me $530! Why would anyone in their right mind pay to replace a crappy phone? The customer service rep at T-Mobile was completely unhelpful and suggested that I buy a "less expensive" phone if I was unhappy with the Cliq.

Needless to say, I sent the phone back off on 12/7/09 to wait another 10 days. I asked if the customer was supposed to be satisfied and got no answer. I told her I was going to complain to my state’s Attorney General and news stations. I got no reply. I asked her what happens if I am in an accident while I drive to work at 4 in the morning and got no answer. I told her never again will I buy another Motorola product. I also told Boost that they just lost two customers. I am a single parent that works almost an hour away from home and I don't have my needed communication.

I bought a Motorola Phone V9 3G. After a month, the phone was not charging anymore. I called the manufacturer of the phone, Motorola, and gave them the serial no# and they informed us that the phone was not purchased in United States. It's showing in their system that the phone was purchased in Singapore and I also brought the phone to my carrier, T-Mobile, and they informed me that the phone was refurbished. We bought a new battery and charger and it is still not working.

I purchased a Moto EM330 cell phone (flip phone) made by Motorola from Radio Shack on 05/22/09. The phone is made in China. I had it for 3 months and while eating out, I pulled it from my purse to make a call and the right hinge broke on the phone. It was not dropped, not sat on nor damaged by me in any way. When I tried to open the back to remove the sim card, the release button completely broke off as well, no force needed there. I took it back to Radio Shack and had to deal with a smart, epic, young kid, who laughed at me and accused me of damaging the phone. Nothing he can do for me he said, "Warranty voided because of physical damage." He suggested I call AT&T, which I did.
I spoke with a very nice lady, who was very understanding on the phone, but still could not help me. She suggested I call the manufacturer, so I did. Once again, I got this stupid person on the phone named Sid ID #**, who also could not help me. They sold me a plastic phone made in China that literally fell apart in my hand while I used it and they consider this my fault. I told the kid to, at the very least, record it somewhere that he had gotten a complaint against one of their products. He would not do that so I asked to speak to his supervisor. He then said I could not because they were all busy at the moment. How is the public to know this is a faulty phone if someone isn't recording complaints as they come in? It sure seems like they don't care about the consumer here and I got ripped off. In fact, many, many, many more people will also because they are going to keep selling that piece of junk phone. They don't care, customers don't matter anymore.

I carried a motorola cell phone on the left side of my belt for 12 to 18 hours a day between 1991 and 1995. Starting in 1995 I became ill with no diagnosis. By 2003 a large tumor had formed on my left ovary. After surgery I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and told I may not survive more that 3-5 years.
From the years 1996 to 2003 I became progressively more ill until I was unable to work. In 2005 I had a brief recovery period and started a business that I had to close in August 2007 due to a reoccurance, this time my left decending bowel is suspected. I've had a radical hysterectomy, 6 months of chemotherapy which nearly did kill me and which I'm still detoxing from. My life is now focused on trying to stay alive. So far staying alive has cost me my entire life savings and every-thing I could beg or borrow from family.

I purchased 2 black Motorola H550 blue tooth accessories as a Christmas gift for my husband in early December, 2007. Neither one was operational. I called Motorola and they advised me to send both bluetooths and both chargers to them for repair or replacement. They suggested I send the chargers because they were unsure if the chargers were the reason for the malfunction. I did exactly as they asked. I even paid to ship them back to motorola. Then on February 6th, I received a package from them. It was 2 HOT PINK H550's and NO chargers.
This was unacceptable so I called them back and reported the problem to them immediately. They asked me to send back the pink ones and they would correct the error. I demanded that they send me a prepaid shipping label via email which they did. They then promised that I would get my replacement mailed overnight once they received the pink ones back.
They also assured me that the chargers would be included in my package. I sent them back, they received them on Feb 8, 2008 and STILL as of today have not shipped them to me. Needless to say, by now, after a minimum of 10 phonecalls, each taking over an hour of my time with their incompetence, I am angry. I asked for a manager and receive more incompetence in the form of Mike Id # 351112.
He was condescending and rude on more than one occasion during our conversation. He proceeded to lie and say that he send me a confirmation email stating that I would be receiving my products by tomorrow, Feb. 26th. When I asked him to stay on the phone until i received the email he refused and hung up on me. I still have no email from him.

I purchased five cellular phones from Cingular (AT&T) on or about 5/4/2007. The phone is a Motorola SLVR L7 with a one year warranty. We are committed to a two year contract with these five cell phones. Seven months after receiving the phones, one of the phone's button came off. The button is held in place by a thin film of plastic. Several of the other phones buttons are becoming loose. I believe that this phone was not designed to perform as it was promoted. The phone has a camera, video camera, mp3 player and can be used to play games. The phone was not designed to last one year or less and if the cheap buttons break, the owner has to pay for the repair even though the phone is under warranty. Motorola's manufacturing standards are wavering and are becoming subpar, lacking the quality they were famous for just fifteen years ago.
Motorola has informed me that if their technician's belief that the cheap, defective button breakage is our fault; we will have to pay $75 for the repair of this phone.

In Sept of 2007, my daughter was charging her cell phone. She picked it up to look at the time and it felt extremely hot. She set it down on the counter and pulled the charger from the wall. Within seconds, the phone exploded, filling the house with thick, chemical smelling smoke and burned her kitchen counter. Luckily, she only suffered minor burns on her fingers and respiratory distress from inhaling the smoke. This incident was very frightening and extremely upsetting to her to say the least.
After contacting Motorola, a verbal agreement was made to return the damaged phone and they would send a new phone. My Visa was given in the event the phone was not returned to Motorola.
To make a long story short...the phone was returned to Motorola, they charged my visa $449.00 and won't reverse the charges. They are refusing to accept any responsibility for the damages. A letter was sent implying that their visual inspection showed evidence the phone was exposed to an external heat source and therefore, the phone was not defective. This is absolutely a false accusation.

Moreover, I went away from it for a week, then came back, listened to my messages, and then got a big headache during that.
I also know that it is a different style of headache than any other I had previously felt.

I requested a new unit, not a refurbished or used one as it was confirmed by the representative that was what I received. I received a second replacement unit on June 26, 2007. This unit was not in the original packaging and did not appear to be a new unit. This unit did work, however, only occassionally, not at all like the new unit I purchased.

I am writing about my Motorola Razr V3 cell phone. I began noticing that my cell phone would not charge I thought maybe I needed a new charger so I went out and bought another one yet it still would not charge. The next day I take my phone to a cell phone repair store with the attempt to get it fixed and they informed me that they could not fix it to call the company Motorola to see what they can do being that my one year warranty wasnt up. I called in July and was informed that although I bought the phone in late December early January the warranty was good until July 25 so I had to send the phone to them before that time.
I sent them the phone on July 13 2007 to the address they provided which was received by the repairs department on July 20. They informed me the repairs would take 15 business days. Two weeks later I call to find out the status on my repair they begin to give me the run around. They told me that someone would reach me within 24 hours and tell me when I will get my phone back. No one contacted me like they said they would so I began calling again. On August 20 I faxed a letter to the complaint department and within 2 days someone called me and told me they will take care of it and send me a phone, they were to send it out on August 23 and it would take 2 to 3 days to reach me a week went by and I didnt receive the phone I called the complaint department and have not been able to reach anyone. On August 31 I faxed them a second letter and expressed to them that I would like this taken care of ASAP. I also informed them that I was going to contact the Department of Consumer Affairs if this was not taken care of by Sept 4 2007.
Its almost 2 months since I sent the phone and in the mist of all this I've had to purchase other used phones. I have taken and followed every protocol; they have had more than enough time to rectify the matter. I paid for this phone it wasnt given to me and I dont believe that they should get away with this. . I dont know what else to do.

This morning as I left for the grocery store, my motorola cell phone began to ring alerting an incoming call. It was lying in the passenger seat and I could not answer it for I was in traffic. Suddenly a loud "explosion" occured and my right thigh began to hurt as if I'd been hit by something. My first thought was that I'd been shot, so I pulled into the nearest parking lot, ran into a nearby store for help. After I had checked myself over for wounds, and called my daughter, we ventured back out to the car to check for any damage there. None was found on the car or me. The only thing it could have been was the cell phone, and so we began to piece the mystery together.
Our theory is this: Upon my departure for the grocery store I had stopped to fuel up, so could it be that somehow fumes inside the car were ignited when the cell phone rang? The windows were all the way up as usual, because I suffer from allergies and rely on the cars air exchange system for comfort, and this could have contributed to the incident. My purpose for writing this is strictly for awareness by others. I've read all the warnings and stories about fueling up dangers, and consider myself an educated consumer, but nowhere have a read anything quite like this happening to someone else. Please post this for all to read so that it may help others.

My son & I both purchased Motorola Razors. I, directly from Motorola. My son, from Walmart, because the Nokia phones provided with my family call plan through Cingular were all defective, and we were tired of replacing them.
PROBLEM: My phone, my son's, and a friends are all sealed improperly; so that dust, lint, etc. catches between the protective screen on the inside of the phone so as to make it almost impossible to see the display. Mine eats batteries, and my son's audio is bad.
ATTEMPTED RESOLUTION: I contacted Motorola first by website to locate a dealer that could take apart & clean the "protective" screen cover. They don't have one within 50 miles of us.
I then called the telephone number listed above. It was confirmed by a gentlemen that spoke in very-hard-to-understand-broken english, that they did not have anyplace close to where we live in Southern California (!). He checked to see if I was still under warranty, and I was, until April 2007. He said I can mail it to them (allow 10-14 days for delivery - then time in the shop - then another 10-14 days) to resolve the problems. They do not replace the phones - only repair them. So......we would be without phones for basically a month. I told him that was a perfect example of unacceptable customer service. He said sorry - and it wasn't his fault - but that was the company's policy - and "eet's basiklee buyer beware". I was stunned....and asked to be referred to the customer complaint department. I got a customer serivce supervisor named "Cesar", and he repeated the same stuff, and I told him I would like to register a complaint. He said he would forward the information to the powers that be. Did not take my name, phone number or email, so I know it would be placed in the circular file.

I purchased a Motorola V180 wireless phone from Cingular in October, 2005.
While working in the computer center where I am currently employed on 06/24/05 approx 15:30, my phone suddenly became warm while resting in my front left side pocket on my jeans. When inspecting the phone I noticed the LCD screen on the cover was burning. I removed the battery to halt the spread of the burn.
After approx 5 min I replaced the battery & the screen began to reignite. I removed the battery & contacted Cingular customer service.
Cingular informed me that their warranties do not cover damage to the phone. Additionally I was accused of submerging the phone in liquid or forcibly striking the phone. They refused to satisfactorily resolve this issue even though this is clearly a safety hazard to the general public.
Damages: I will have to buy a replacement phone.
