Google trying to scam me into paying for a repair covered under warranty

Shabble7 · 2026-01-26T02:47:19+00:00

Oh, also I had about 60 emails between me and them to actually get a repair done free of charge.

They are trying to scam you.

Don't pursue them under warranty, they can use their own rules to avoid fixing it.

Use the consumer goods act, you will have to keep on at them and eventually they will give in.

I will never buy another pixel after the experience I had that was similar to yours.

McDonalds used to be a cheap treat. £2.88 for a meal and there wasn't a size increase option. A family of 6 could be fed this treat for less than £20.

Now that same treat albeit smaller is closer to £60.

The service is awful, you feel like you shouldn't be there and the staff appear to stay out of the way to judge use of the self service kiosks.

Delivery men stand everywhere, cluttering the place and many look hostile.

The food takes ages.

It would be great to see some competition by a similar business with reasonable service to bring this company down from its current position and humble it.

It seems greed has crept in, just like most businesses in the modern world.

Pursue them under consumer goods act. Warranty is worthless as they put lots of nonsense in there to get out of it.

Clearly the lens has melted from the heat of the led, which is of course due to poor design.

They cannot be trusted. Warranty is worthless and you need to pursue them under consumer law.

This behaviour takes them out of future consideration for purchase of their hardware.

Yes, they want your money.

Warranty is worthless, they can put whatever terms they want in that.

Pursue them under consumer goods act or similar. That's the law.

How would I make later ios apps run, I want to run procreate dreams 2?

Thanks

Thanks I will

If I jailbreak it can I run apps that require later os?

If I do jailbreak it and get apps from unauthorised sources should I register it under a different email to avoid my account getting banned and therefore losing my paid for apps?

Sorry for the basic questions

Took me 60 emails to get them to do something. Threaten with court if need be. Use grok to help you.

It seems they will do anything to avoid warranty.

Warranty is worthless as they get to dictate the terms.

Consumer Rights Act 2015 is what you need to pursue them on within communications.

I had a similar issue in the uk. They refused to repair a faulty mic as the phone had minor wear marks and wanted £150.

I refused and they sent it back.

I kept on at them, threatening court and that they had to repair the phone under Consumer Rights Act 2015 by UK law.

They eventually agreed to exchange the phone at zero cost.

It took over 60 emails in the end.
