Same thing in CIT test menu:

I mean, this one is on me. I bought Poco X3 Pro knowing damn well it’s plagued with issues. But €188 for phone with Snapdragon 860, 120Hz screen, big battery, stereo speakers, headphone jack and IR blaster 1 and a half years ago? Hell, that sounds too good.

And yes, before you ask, I have tried turning it off an on. Also resetting both from settings and recovery.

    I once had an Asus Android tablet. Absolutely loved that thing, until it needed to go in for warranty repair. Asus, for me, remains the absolute worst company to deal with for warranties.

    Not only did they NOT fix any problems, but it would come back with more issues than when I sent it in. At one point, they didn’t even bother to snap the screen in place, so I could see into the tablet (you aren’t supposed to!).

    They screwed me around over and over until the warranty period expired, then they ghosted me. Unbelievably bad service.

      Last Asus laptop I sent off for warranty screen replacement came back with a lower resolution screen off a lower end version of the same model. By the time they returned it the warranty expired and they wouldn’t fix their fuck up. I’ll never spend money on their products again.

        Sounds like this “strategy” is basically their business plan. What an awful company.

        That’s not even legal if you didn’t explicitly agree to it in advance after being informed of the difference

        If that happened in Europe, that’s illegal. The warranty period is suspended while your product is away for warranty repairs. Little side note, that only applies to the legal 2 year warranty protection, which is between the buyer and the seller (which is often not the manufacturer).

      I had the second gen nexus 7 that seemed to pick up what was a common issue with the power button (something essentially came unglued or something inside and it’d stop working). I sent it off for repair and they wouldn’t fix it because it was ‘water damaged’ (it wasn’t) and they wanted something ridiculous like £75 for basically popping off the back cover and stopping all work.

      Robbing bastards Asus will never get another penny out of me.

    The shitty thing is that the process to flash the firmware literally takes like 2m, if that. And the machine is right there.

    So now getting support again. Sending it back. Hoping the next guy knows what they are doing. Misery fuel.

        I really preferred it on the right, too. It was the default on my Galaxy. But I have a Pixel for work and it doesn’t seem to let you choose which side the back button is on. I can’t stand to have an inconsistency.

          Yeah from memory it was the default for Samsung, but stock Android had it the other way around. I’ve always preferred it, much easier to reach with my thumb while holding it in my right hand. I always swap it (custom firmware ensures this) and also have it set so a long press of the back button will force close any foreground app.

          If you’ve got a Pixel phone I would look at installing GrapheneOS on it. Even if it’s a work phone, chances are they won’t know. If they find out, say you were ensuring the security of your device, for the benefit of both you and your employer.

    The camera module might have gotten detached, but of course we can’t be sure with just what you showed here.

    Not asked, but honestly I’ve owned a Poco X3 NFC for 3 years now and I had to send it recently to repair due to a shorted fingerprint sensor. But until then I had no issues.

    this is why Apple is worth the money. they once broke my display cable while doing a battery replacement and gave me a new phone on the spot for free. the quality of service is unmatched.

      With inflating prices, I’m starting to believe nothing is worth the money they are charging.
