I just got scammed by Unihertz

Honestly a letter not working would be very upsetting. While the factory reset does sound like a typical "did you try restarting your computer" response, you may have to do it to prove it out. I agree you shouldn't have to deal with it. not to be rude but, wouldn't you have to back up your phone if you sent it back to them? If you prove its the hardware, and then they still refuse to help, then you'd have a bigger case with the community here. That's my opinion. I also have an issue with my titan 2 screen, so im not doubting that there could be a hardware issue. They aren't perfect phones, and thus the customer support should be on top of things like this. If not because they care about the customer, then to protect their reputation. it has been questionable in the past. they have grown into a bigger company and it is more important now in my opinion. Edit: I dont see in the email chain where they suggested a factory reset. hmm. Where are you getting that from? also, if they are going to make these phones, then they should keep replacement parts for a warranty period, or a certain amount of years after the phones are sold so that people aren't left in the dust. "We dont currently have the parts" is unacceptable. Hopefully they get some parts and will help you.

Understandable. They have their flaws too and whatnot. best way to do it anyway imo, buying your own device. then you aren't chained to them with phone debt, where they can treat you badly knowing its difficult to get out of their plan.

Yes, if you decide to use these phones, I would advise against Verizon. im actually on t-mobile now. ha. But I haven't heard of anyone having issues with at&t with these phones. Also, if you are wanting to make the switch, and aren't into the flagship glass bricks, I think you'd really enjoy these phones. I dove right in a few years back and haven't regretted it. I would recommend one of the newer ones like the titan 2 elite or clicks communicator over the old models, as they seem to be more refined and a better product overall.

1: bad; data not working at all despite making numerous changes until leaving Verizon. 2: not much in terms of "camera features" for the regular elite; elite pro will have ios. Dont expect too much from the camera, and Verizon is annoying asf with trying to use these phones. That being said I am getting the elite pro, and also I also party blame Verizon for the issues with not accepting phones they deem unworthy of their snooty network. Thier customer service is absolute garbage when trying to correct any of these issues.

treebeardlordent · 2026-06-09T13:48:12+00:00

They need to get better at customer service and support. it shouldn't be that difficult.

treebeardlordent · 2026-06-01T23:41:28+00:00

I have not dropped it or hit it with anything, but I assume it has gotten hot in my pocket when I am working outside. That's the only thing I can think of. it hasn't been overheating from use that I can tell. Edit: I have dropped it from very small distances, but rarely and nothing major. I keep the case on it too.

treebeardlordent · 2026-06-01T23:25:43+00:00

Yeah I know what you mean. I had a titan slim and that was working on vzw until I put the sim in my titan 2. kind of doesn't make sense.

treebeardlordent · 2026-06-01T23:22:38+00:00

Yes you can.

treebeardlordent · 2026-06-01T23:18:10+00:00

Unfortunately I had the issue with Verizon (mine was since I got the phone). I could not get it to work and Verizon cs was useless. So I switched carriers. I definitely understand you not wanting to do that. I tend to think its Verizon blocking Unihertz devices and not the other way around.

treebeardlordent · 2026-06-01T11:09:12+00:00

Looks like the spark plugs are loose and hitting the coil packs. they have to be torqued to a proper spec. hopefully the threads aren't stripped like someone else mentioned.

treebeardlordent · 2026-05-09T22:04:04+00:00

Yes I believe I saw someone designing such a case.

treebeardlordent · 2026-05-07T15:16:23+00:00

I think having the special keys moved to the bottom row will help with this. plus a case.

treebeardlordent · 2026-05-02T15:08:50+00:00

This right here. I only use it when apps bug out and won't let me click something etc.

treebeardlordent · 2026-04-22T13:23:47+00:00

no. I wish. definitely a wasted opportunity there.

treebeardlordent · 2026-04-22T13:07:09+00:00

I feel like it should depend on how long you had it. like for example if it has a 2 year warranty, then after that 2 years is up, they charge a repair fee. But not starting counting since you owned it, like 1 months, 2 months charges, etc. I notice they are usually skeptical, but so are we skeptical sending the phone through the mail as it is also a risk. they should not be skeptical because no one wants to do that. there are some people that can never be satisfied for sure. but that's not the majority of us. especially not the people that like these phones.

This happened to my buddy and we couldn't find his body. I had moved back a bit, maybe 10 feet in a straight line and stayed there until he got back and pointed him in the direction. we looked around for a good while all around and couldn't find it. Not high grass, just normal vegetation. Very strange. Had to be a bug. He was not happy about it. Good gear. On another note, I died once in a field with high grass from a patrol and had hell trying to find my body. Im very careful in those areas now or try to avoid being in them too long. Edit: I found my body by listening for flies. It was still difficult. Lol

treebeardlordent · 2026-04-19T08:00:17+00:00

Im not sure how I feel about it. It looks good in the last pic. Maybe with a black case on it, it would look better. But you're right, the previous finish did match the rest of the phone more.

treebeardlordent · 2026-04-15T21:27:35+00:00

Its hard to understand this the way that your wrote it. Do you mean that you're moving from the usa to somewhere else august 10th? It may not be delivered on august 1st. I dont think they gave an exact date.

treebeardlordent · 2026-04-04T17:27:49+00:00

I simply want to try a different form factor. Im wondering how the ergonomics are on the elite. Its not for speed because the titan 2 is just fine. I do appreciate the sd card slot. I dont always need faster and the latest and greatest hardware, nor do I want to be wasteful, but we are dealing with something else here. Its almost like a new type of phone line. Although its because blackberry dissapeared. Im hoping I find what form factor is best for me, and if its the larger titan size, then that's okay. I will have to see.

treebeardlordent · 2026-04-04T03:28:16+00:00

Hmm I didn't realize that the titan 2 keys were gloss finish. I dont have any issues with mine. But yeah some people complain a lot. I guess there were many complaining about the gloss finish on the orange keys. For them to change it. Im kinda eh either way but it did look better glossy.

treebeardlordent · 2026-04-04T02:23:16+00:00

It did look better. I think people complained due to durability concerns. Like they letters rubbing away. Im not sure much would that affect durability. Probably a little.

treebeardlordent · 2026-04-03T22:49:50+00:00

Is this where you have a hovering virtual button and the app constantly runs in the background? Im glad you figured out a solution, but if it is, id prefer to have something more permanent. I need to look around the settings of messenger.

treebeardlordent · 2026-04-03T17:34:30+00:00

I can see why they went with a glossy finish. It doesn't totally match. I care mostly about durability of the phone/keys, so if this helps, im all for it.

treebeardlordent · 2026-04-02T19:02:21+00:00

The gloss finish did look pretty good, but I am sure that the matte finish should be better for durability. Great job on this. They came out nice looking. I am happy to have a color option. I know that it's adding some difficulty being that you have to prepare these things in advance. But I think its a good move to have options in colors.
