Has anyone else received warranty replacement beats?
I got some today from tech support call in. The left bud of the original pair stopped working.
The new buds seem to be of better quality at first. The mic/music control is located on the left bud wire and hangs at mouth level instead of at the wire split. The black on the buds is of a shiny chrome looking color instead of matte black, and there are colored stripes.
I think they sound better, maybe...
Unfortunately, as luck would have it, I'm going to have to send them back. The buttons don't do anything when pressed. Thanks monster, for making expensive garbage.

Oh they sent you real ibeats. The ones that come with the rezound have different buttons. The ones u got are made for iPhone not the rezound.

So they're iiBeats.
Are they covered the same way as you.would call 611 for a replacement phone
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Yeah, I called 611.. The CS rep said they had a 30 day warranty (got my rezound on launch day) then switched me to tech support.. When the tech support rep came on the line she said they were sending replacement but if they find damage on the originals ill be charged $99.99. It's worth noting that the receipt for the new set shows $74.95.
I'd like to test them on my ipod, but I don't know where my wife stashed it.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
I also received a replacement set, the same as yours. Yea they are for Apple but they are better. As far as 30days that's false. They are a year like the phone. They also threatened me about the damage as well. These are better than the OEM set. I also had them send me a replacement battery as well. Verizon is sick of me, I have a list a mile long over the years of replacement phones/accessories!

Those are the same ones they sent me, the track buttons don't work for rezound, you kind of have to watch it at first as if you hold the button it will dial a call. I took mine to the corporate store and they were a couple months old, originally the manager told the guy to grab a pair out of a new phone box, but they didn't have any so he had them mailed to my house.
you guys need to DL the app "headset button controller"
You can then use any headphones with iphone controls.
I use that app to control my Beats Studio headphones. It works with my V-Moda's also.
EDIT: if you want some reasonably good deals on Monster stuff go here:
http://www.monstercable.com/outletstore/linelist.asp
I got my Studio's there & although the site said refurb, the set they sent me was a brand new set in a sealed box.
I was told by a phone support rep that I could take my iBeats to any official Verizon store to have them replaced if necessary. However, since my iBeats worked perfectly I sold them and got the Tour earbuds. They're amazing! They sound incredible and are much more solidly built. I'd strongly recommend the upgrade.

I can understand that perfectly, I mainly posted that for the posters saying they wanted to keep the replacements but needed next/previous track etc.
That is still an awfully handy app to have as it actually gives you way more functionality than the stock setup. Each button can be setup for multiple functions (IE: one click/double click/triple click etc. all perform different functions including volume adj etc.)
I find that almost every headphone you buy with inline controls are setup for ipod/iphone only & with this app you can use any headphone you want.
Honestly the iPhone beats are probably better if you are willing to use that app.

All you do is install it & check the box to enable it (the default setting). After that, it just works (& it works perfectly)

I have a Rezound and love it except for the battery life. Verizon is offering me a Certified Pre-owned phone of my choice without signing a contract. The Bionic looks like the best one available, for $149.99. It uses the same size 4G sim card as my Rez? I can just swap back and forth if so. Would this be a solid backup phone? It has a couple cool things like a dedicated hdmi port and the lap dock option. Worth the buck fifty?

It has had some updates to fix some of the issues, my suggestion would be to check the bionic forums and see how people feel it is working now. So how did you work that out to get offered another phone without contract plus keep the Rezound ? Curious, because I would love to have another phone to mess around with myself
I bought the Rez used, and the Verizon rep put insurance on my account when he activated my sim card. Turns out that is not an option for used phones, so I whined and moaned about not having a warranty on a 3 month old phone, and they offered me the CPO device. I can use it whenever, too! Might just wait for a Nexus to show up and sell it

I've heard horrid stories about the Bionic, stay away from it, get about any other newer phone other than it if you really want something other than the Rezound.
I had a bionic shortly, if there has ever been a bigger POS I'm not sure what it would be (although the nexus is close)

Had the Bionic for 6 hours before returning it for the Rezound. Wasn't impressed at all. Plus, I thought I read the Bionic went on sale for $99 today. Still wouldn't buy it.
The Bionic is garbage. I mean, its plenty fast, but the screen is very washed out, and the camera is just sooooo bad. Plus I really hated the shape of the thing. It was uncomfortable to talk on for more than a couple minutes, and even uncomfortable to hold for long periods. Why anyone would put sharp edges on a phone is beyond me!
Hey this is the OP, thanks for all the feedback. Sounds like the Bionic is basically a big deuce, a pos, a stinker to be killed with fire, but...I still want it to tinker with...ugh, can't decide.

I came from the bionic, it took me 2x3 hour phone calls with verizon for them to exchange that piece of crap for my rezound.
The bionic is a piece of **** there's nothing to tinker with..There's no unlocked bootloader, data drops every time you turn off your screen, there's about 3 developers for the bionic who are inactive.
Stay away from that piece of ****!

Hey all,
A few weeks ago, I started hearing an echo on my original headset - no bass, no stereo output and very low volume levels. I was able to determine that the cable connection to the iBeats headset had a short or break. I used some ultimate ears for a while, but totally missed the Beats sound.
I submitted a warranty replacement request with HTC last Thursday and didn't hear a thing from them until yesterday when my replacement headset arrived on my doorstep. In order to receive the headset before returning the original, I had to allow a credit card authorization.
The headset I just received is totally crap. Not iBeats. I'll upload a picture once I get to my desk. I have 15 days to return my original headset before I am charged.
You will not believe that HTC was prepared to charge me $100 for this headset.
I am not sure what to do next? Walk 15 blocks to the nearest VZW store to get actual iBeats, if they even have? Write an angry letter? This headset is definitely going back, but at my cost. So disappointed and angry right now.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
Are the ibeats under warranty? If so, I would definitely go into a store and talk with someone, they added 100 dollars to the price of the phone for those headphones, and the replacement ones look like they came from a vending machine

Yea thats not good Im waiting for my replacement and I hope I dont get those
That is terrible, Wookie. Hope that 3rd party purchase comes through for you, got trolled by HTC pretty bad there.
I'd have gone through Verizon in the first place so they'd know what's up on this warranty replacement, but if you directly went through HTC, shoot an email to them ASAP. Try and get things straightened out with them in a precise and firm (not angry) letter - a technical letter as if for a defense in court. Apparently HTC has ditched packing some of the Sensation and Rezound phones with Beats, and gave you the "current in-box" model. Need to specify and make it abundantly clear you have the OEM Monster iBeats designed for Verizon's Rezound and that these are not "functionally equivalent" in terms of sound quality of the speakers themselves and form factor of the earbud housing/soft tips. You ought to be recouped your shipping costs as this is their error (not legally, but as a goodwill gesture for what they are putting you through.)
As a Verizon customer, I'd let them hear about the "unacceptable customer service you're experiencing with the OEM of a device marketed exclusively for their network in the US." This is negligent behavior for a device you specifically paid extra for to get an "enhanced audio experience straight out of the box."
Going in person to a Verizon store is usually the best way to get things done, and I mean those larger, corporate repair center type stores, not the little mom-and-pop Authorized Retailer ops.
Sorry for double posting, but on a seperate yet relevant tangent...
Should you have filed a warranty claim with Verizon or Monster directly rather than HTC? And the warranty booklet I dug out with mine says PCD is who grants a one year warranty on the device. Worth checking out.
I had the exact same problem with my first pair. I brought them in to a Verizon store and walked out with a replacement set, no charge as they were on warranty. Try the VZW store.

yeah, if someone came to me with this problem, i'd be like , goto a corporate store. nothing i can do, broseph gordon levitt.
Thanks for the input so far. I'll head to the corporate store to see what I can do. It's a good walk.
Now that I've had a chance to calm down, I'll probably contact HTC again regarding the ticket and have it canceled after I return this headset.
FYI, the CSR I spoke to at HTC went on and on about how good the iBeats headset was, so I doubt this was a simple error. He was clear on the fact that I was expecting the original series of iBeats replaced.
The only reason I went to HTC in the first place was because I thought I'd get better service from them than from VZW...

Don't go to the VZ store they won't do anything because the warranty is from HTC. Call HTC back and tell them they sent the wrong ones. The should pay for the shipping since they sent the wrong thing. And they might even do rush shipping since you already waited and got the wrong thing. When I dealt with HTC they were very nice and helpful. Just give them a call back.

I would give them the benefit of the doubt, but the packaging you see in the pic was what was sent, in a padded manila envelope. There was no way you could send the headset and not know that it was a standard headset.

The Dr Dre Beats line of headphones are possibly the most overrated/overpriced headphones out there. If you like your music compressed to death and with so much bass you feel like you're at a club, then they're perfect for you. The iBeats are better than most cheap earbuds, but they still give me moderate ear fatigue.

ear fatigue, never thought of that term, but you're so right...after like an hour or so of listening, i do have to adjust them or take them out for a bit.
hell, i still enjoy my $10 Jbuds from amazon lol..i don't ever use them on the phone, though, bc they sound like ass compared to teh beats on there.
Like many pre-orders, I received mine on Thursday.
I was disappointed, however, that the seal has been broken and there were scuffles and smudges in the back near the camera.
Perhaps, mine was opened by US Customs to examine.
I'm wondering if there are many others out there who received their phones in similar condition.
Also, I couldn't find any headphones included. Is that right?

The serial number, hex and dec number on my box were different from the ones on my phone. I had all kinds of problems getting it activated until i pulled the back cover and saw different numbers. The tech support guy at sprint i was on the phone with said he has only seen that 1 or 2 times in the several years hes been there. Customs must have taken it out of the box and put it in another.
Yall are just the unlucky bastards.
1st guy... Probably did check Yours and the agent didn't give a crap.
2nd guy... Lol that is 100 percent the agent was a retard. My of broke it and put a different one in it.
Cough get dna... Background cough
Wow that really sucks....I hope you can get that replaced...or at least replace the top plastic.
i'd be madd pissed.
denggg.. so did the customs agents just randomly open boxes to check? i thought maybe they'd take one from each batch or just one period for investigation. rediculous.

Maybe the phone that was originally taken out - was NOT but back in, but they kept the packaging/labeling and threw in another phone? Hence the mismatch numbers. Just a guess Would probably be easier to open a box with no label and just put that phone in the labeled box.

All the phones I have ever had come with headphones (and micro SD too). Odd.
It's a $500-$600 phone, and doesn't include headphones. That's quite perturbing.

OG Evo didn't come with headphones either. Box. Phone. Charger.

My last 2 phones were the EVO, and the EVO 3D, neither of which came with headphones. The way I see it is the headphones that come with phones are usually pretty crappy and I'd rather have them spend that few cents on improving the build quality of the phone. They're most likely going to cut corners somewhere to pay for the headphones they include.

Well like I said, I've purchased from them before and they were prompt and somewhat fast. As for the red flags, I use WOT and Mcafee siteadvisor in FireFox when I'm not sure and it didn't throw any flags when I first checked them out.
Glad this was of use to you.
I just bought one, thanks for the tip, I just saw it while browsing the forum page. It kind of sucks that it says it can take up to 6 business days to ship, but that is the max so it is probably just in case. Get the best bluetooth for the price of the worst.

How much was it on the site, just wondering?
The Tracking number they gave me starts with a 9 and it should start with 1Z usually for UPS, but they may use SurePost(a combo of UPS and USPS) which I dont know much about. Does anyone know what is going on with the shipping tracking?
I received a similar number dorm my order last week and it took a few days (including the weekend) before i was able to track it.
I ordered last Wednesday and it should arrive thisThursday.

I had the EXACT same experience. I ordered on Wednesday got the tracking info on Friday(I think, not by email). I was only able to track it when I checked today after like 10 or 11 maybe not sure, but before that it said "Not available". It is a different type of shipping....It is 1 hr 10 min away from me RIGHT NOW, and I wont get it till Thurday either(estimated, possibly earlier I guess).
"UPS Mail Innovations" is who is shipping it, may not be that same.

I don't recall getting an email giving me a shipping number, but I checked the webpage and shows that I'll get mine Thursday. oh and mine is 104 miles away. Knowing UPS, it'll be here on Thursday they don't tend to like to get things to me early.
So I just got this in on the 20th and wanted to play with it a bit before I said anything about it. In a nutshell, I don't like it. I like it's premise with A2DP, the accelerometer and the cool integration things, but in the end I feel it was poorly executed.
First the rubber actually hurts my ear, which is a novel concept for me because I have big ears. Even with a big earpiece, I was hoping it would apply enough grip that I could wear it without the loop, but no such luck. The over the ear hook is cool, it disconnects easy enough but not so easy that i'll pop off while on your ear and it swivels for optimal positioning, but it's hard plastic and it's a small loop.
The audio is good, but not better than any of it's competition, but in the same breath it isn't worse than it's competition either. The noise assassin, is a cool idea, but no more effective than the competition's noise canceling.
The tap tap function is cool, but why not just use a button? It has a function called shake shake so you can answer your phone call while it isn't in your ear, my only question is why not just put it in your ear and answer it then? To pair, it uses a double shake shake, which is handy to quickly put the headset into pairing mode, but how often do you need to pair a headset?
The software. Oh how i wish I could say that all of that could be made up with the software. But all you can do with the software is tell it what you want the talk button to do when you press it and if you want it to speak your calender reminders.
Lastly is the webpage. First you have to install the updater software, which you would imagine to operate similar to like a logitech software bundle but all it does is provide an interface for your headset and the webpage which is fine. You can choose from 6 different voices which is cool AND you can specify what service you want to use when you do a press and hold action. Unfortunately the majority of the services, (all 7 of them) require accounts/payments. From the webpage you can access different functions like disabling the tap tap or shake shake feature or A2PD, but my question is, why can't the app handle these?
I guess I'm being just picky or maybe I'm jaded because I just got it in and it isn't working with my phone anymore (not sure if it's a ROM issue or a headset issue) but I don't like the headset. If anyone wants it, i'll give it up for a little less than I paid for it or else it'll probably end up in a drawer whilst I continue my search for the best bluetooth headset.
Oh and a bit on dailysteals, good company, the headset only came with the 1 ear cover, and the back was a little scratched up where it looked like someone couldn't figure out how to plug it in but I can accept that for a headset that's still going for $70 to $110 new.
I'll take it off your hands if you want.

Box is the same as the international version. Minus the AT&T logo. Plus comes with the unbranded beats/HTC headphones

I have the Dev version on order, but nice to see AT&T keep the same packaging and accessories. 2 thumbs up!
I wish the dev edition I just ordered came with the headset but HTC confirmed via email that they do not. Kinda sucks but I'm still stoked to be getting it.

You sure they wasn't talking about the beats that some UK users was getting ?
The Developer Edition doesn't come with any headset whatsoever. When I preordered I noticed that no headset was listed under what comes in the box. So I proceeded to contact HTC which responded that the phone does not come with any headset. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the listing is wrong as well as the HTC employee but I doubt it. Maybe if enough of us complain once we get the phone and find no headset, they'll send us a free pair :wishful thinking:

AT&T also left in all of the dev/international features even though they usually remove some, like FM radio, voice recorder and flashlight. If I can stick all of the AT&T shortcuts into a folder and then hide the folder somewhere I'll be happy.
Unfortunately HTC's easy setup utility won't work because ATT has their own. In spite of that, and the usual bloat, it seems ATT did right by this phone.
Does anybody know if HTC's offer of 25GB Dropbox space still applies with an ATT contract phone?

No, but I know for the AT&T S 3 they found a workaround. The same thing might happen here.

Hey guys.....Played with the phone today at work.( Which by the way is tough. If you think waiting for the phone is hard, try having it in the next room over and not being able to buy it.) All of AT&T's app shortcuts come packaged in a folder when you first turn off the phone. It also looks like they can be disabled fairly easily as well.
I'll try to check on the Dropbox offer tomorrow. I know you still got the 25 GB's with the HTC One X last year, so I'm hoping the same is true for this device as well. Most corporate stores should have some working HTC Ones out on the sales floor tomorrow as well with some advertising for pre orders, if anyone want's to get some hands on time.
Cool! thx for that.
