Pretty sure it's a one year warranty. I had no issue exchanging through HTC a couple months ago. I was even late sending in the old pair, they emailed and called a couple times, but never got charged by the time I got them sent back in.

how do you start the warranty process?
Just mailed mine off for warranty replacement 2 days ago lol. Still had a couple weeks left under the 12 month warranty. Just call HTC customer service and tell them what's wrong with the ear buds and they won't hassle you at all. They'll email you the address to send them to and details regarding the process.

What this guy said. I got the number off the HTC USA website.

Thanks guys =)
Use HTC's US website and contact customer service I have exchanged my headphones 3 times they short a lot. In my opinion once the warranty is out on them buy skull candy headphones they sound as good or better the full metal jackets are fantastic and are much less expensive but build quality is much better than the beats. Skullcandy also has a lifetime warranty and do a wonderful job of exchanging them if they short out or any other manufacturer defects. But use that beats warranty till it dies then get the SC's

I had my phone replaced under insurance with a new model about 4 months ago. They replaced my Beats headphones as well, and now I'm in the same boat with broken ones. Does anyone know whether my warranty will hold? I am just over a year since the original purchase. Also, if this is something I contact HTC about and I've unlocked my bootloader (obv voiding the warranty through HTC), will they still honor it? I would imagine so, but if someone has been here before, I'd appreciate some feedback.
ActuallyI am receiving a replacement phone today.. will there be replacement buds as well? And I'm wondering how you got a new replacement.. I was told I could only get refurbished device!

I justed called HTC to replace my beats and I now have to fax in a proof of purchase receipt showing all my info, payment, date of purchase, IMEI, etc. Anyone else have to do this? I purchased my rezound new from verizon on 4/02/2012 so it is still under warranty.
I just received my replacements yesterday, all I had to do was give them my IMEI and they verified I was still under warranty (had a day left on my warranty), and they shipped it out no problem.

I called HTC cust serv about the same issue. My Rezound is a refurb that I got through Asurion when I lost my DInc2. Though the phone was a couple months out of warranty, they went ahead with the replacement. The only difference was that they had me send the defective buds in (making sure to include the pouch/extra pads) before mailing out the replacement.
At first, I called Asurion about this, and they promptly sent me some $10 headset.

That's weird, I didn't have to send them the pouch and extra ear pads. I just sent the earbuds alone and they sent me replacement earbuds with a pouch and extra ear pads.

I just got my rezound from Amazon wireless. I love the phone however I.have the light leakage and its already overheating. Do I.need to send it into Amazon or can I return it at a local Verizon store? I I've read both circumstances happening. Just wondering if anyone else has done either yet. Also if u send it in can u get a loner? This is my first Verizon phone. Thanks
I think you have to use amazon for the first 30 days then you can use verizon. It may be worth it to put up with it until verizon can help you.

Any way to confirm this. I suppose I can call tomorrow.I'm.stuck in class right now. If that's the case ill def wait the 30 days
I got both a Rezound and RAZR from Amazon. The Rezound is great, but I had some serious issues with the RAZR overheating and searching for signal. Called Amazon, they shipped me a brand new phone. Swapped SIMs, mailed the old phone back. Problem solved, and it didn't cost me a dime. Think shipping was 2nd day air.
EDIT: I also tried VZW first, because it would have been quicker, but they directed me to Amazon.
So they send one first... Have the replacement phones been without flaw or is it the same gamble. Might be better to wait the 30 days and use Verizon so I can check it...

The only reason I suggested waiting and using Verizon is that Amazon was backordered last time I checked.

Amazon is excellent for returns/exchanges hands down. I assume it will be the same process you request an exchange and they ship it out to you. They generally gave me overnight shipping for free (even on a saturday) to get me non-defective item. Then you just ship it back to them within a resonable time frame with the included label and you should be good to go.
You guys do realize Amazon will send you a brand new phone and if you wait 30 days Verizon cannot swap in store and will send you a refurbished phone thru the mail.

Verizon has a 14 day policy normally, but now if you purchased the phone after 11-15 you have until Jan.
Wouldn't the phone have a warranty through htc as well? Sounds like ill be contacting Amazon tomorrow though. Thanks a lot guys. Hopefully that one doesn't have the light leak. Lol watch me have a new problem. Is rather have the leak than pink buttons and all the other problems I hear about...

I'd be willing to bet that it was a CSA who probably doesn't understand what light leakage is. Between my 3 rezounds and everyone I have looked at in the stores you can see the LEDs through the bottom of the screen when the soft keys light up which is what is causing the bleeding. There is no way to fix it except by turning off the LEDs or by lowering their intensity to improve on the light leak.

Went into verizon and they won't take the phone tho it sounds like I may as well deal with it. They really pissed me off though. I wanted to put on my work discount. Supposed to be 22% line 20% data. I called and reviewed online before I got verizon and the rep told me I would get the discounts. The store wouldn't discount my data because he claimed I need to have a 5gb data and hotspot plan. I was never told this and most likely wouldn't have canceled at&t during the penny sale. Anyone think I could complain enough to get this changed? Can't seem to find a phone number for them to save my life lol

This phone is awesome until i make or receive calls. I've tried numerous roms and modems that all result in the same result which is muffled voices that i often can't even understand. Seems that its when im talking to iphone users more than anything but its always there. My inspire was great with phone calls and really never had an issue understanding with any phone I've ever owned. Very frustrating and even happens on headset and Bluetooth devices. Any advice, anyone else experience this?

It very well may be a hardware issue. It happened to me on my last SGH. When I got a new phone, I haven't experienced the issue.
Try getting a replacement with whoever you bought the phone from. I had my phone replaced via hardware warranty and not insurance, so I got it for free.

That's probably what I'll try. I bought it over the phone with at&t so I'm sure they will want me to send it in since they aren't selling the sgsII over the counter here in austin (they are pushing the skyrocket). Sucks to be without a phone for a week or so!

You'll keep your current phone until they mail you the replacement. Then you'll pack your old phone into the box and ship it off. Make sure you've flashed back to stock and removed any trace of root because if you don't you'll lose warranty.

It should be pretty easy to make a claim on faulty hardware when you do it online and send it in, I haven't had any issues with call quality or anything so I'd guess it's a hardware issue
also I've done this before, except I did it with insurance claim, and I'm pretty sure they sent it with like FedEx overnight shipping too so you wouldn't really be waiting either

I would rather have a refund than a phone someone already used and broke. I buy new, I expect new.
refurbs are often times just a new phone that they cannot sell as new because it was opened. No scratches or damages but its still new.
Refurbished phones right now are basically still new phones. Most of the refurbished phones were phones bought brand new and returned within the 30 day free-exchange period. Some people didnt like it and a lot of people returned it for the Skyrocket... so AT&T has to resell the phones as refurbished even though there was nothing wrong with it at all. So now is the time to buy a refurbished phone.
I got my Dad one last week and he got it on Thursday. Its completely brand new. Not a scratch or anything on it. He got it for $9.99 and its perfect.
of all the refurbs I ever received from AT&T, all of them looked new.
I was up to 4 Captivate refurbs last year and they all looked brand new.
Interesting, not having any call issues with my phone.

There really isn't a "Best Way." Rule of thumb is you're supposed to get a re-manufactured unit by priority, and if none are available at the time, a NIB unit is sent. If you get 3 re-manufactured units in a row, a new one can be requested at that point. I got lucky and got a NIB unit when I cracked my screen. Paid $100 for my Asurion deductible, and had a new one in hand next business day (reported before 8pm EST on the previous business day).

One more time, since it seems it's never clear:
Warranty is for DEFECTS, like the gaps, raised screens, etc.
INSURANCE is for **** that you do to your phone, like a broken screen, liquid damage, fire, theft, etc.
AT&T covers your phone with a 1 year warranty regardless of if you have insurance or not. The insurance extends the warranty past the 1 year though.

I don't think you should do that. You said you called AT&T, but I was told by the repair department that going to a store and reporting your problem would get you a new phone.
That's not always the case. Every time I've gone to the store after the initial return period has expired, I'm told I have to deal with warranty services. In fact I have had sales reps in the store call them for me. Store reps have little to no power unless you are dealing with a store with a repair center on site. There isn't one of those within a hundred miles of me, so I just call warranty services.
Btw. New phone arrived yesterday and it doesn't have any problems.

Absolutely not. Maybe if it's a repair center (which are relatively rare), but outside of those shops all AT&T warranty work is done over the phone.
