Hello enigmatic members of the forum, considering I am about to return my brand spanking new Xperia Z2, which I think looks amazing by the way, for a camera hardware fault, I was wondering, what is thee most annoying fault you have had to return a product for?

 

I look forward to letting all of your dismay overshadow mine! 

 

Have a great day - Encoded!

A pair of ear phones from AIAIAI went through like 3 pairs in 2 months and just gave up after that, the cable was really badly designed and really prone to damage from just general usage.

That is bad buzz! I like my headphones and rarely use earphones, only the Sony ones.

I had an S3 and before that an iPhone, I hate physical home buttons, just another mechanical part to break, I got the Z2 because of the magnetic charge port, as I am prone to breaking physical ones!

RAT 7 mouse, right mouse button was faulty.

would only happen randomly

 

was a pain as the company didn't want to cover it but under Australian law they had to.

Its all about those volumetric clouds

Gotta hate when a company is uncooperative, especially on products that are likely to be broken in shipping!

Aww man a cooler, that sucks! Did you have to wait for a new one, or did you run on the stock cooler?

I had my own phone in repairs because the camera had a few problems (after the phone had almost destroyed a chair by being unintentionally thrown out of my pocket while pulling my jacket to wear it - it's a nokia 5800) but it wasn't exactly a return.

 

I had to return the first wd black I received because it just refused to format properly, whereas the substitute had no issues of the sort and formatted in seconds.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

LOL! The chair, did it survive? 

 

And HDD's are the bane of my existence. Soon, SSD's will be the norm!

Mind you, it was a brand new piece, unpacked, so it was broken out of the box :(

Damn WIFI cards. They just don't make them like they do in laptops, it's almost like they want the to break in the PC.

It was great while it worked! Allowed me to get almost 4 times what I was getting since I was able to get a strong 5ghz connection compared to the USB dongle I was using.

That's great, I notice I am only getting 2 bars on my Xperia upstairs, mind you we only have a generic router from the company. Gonna need to do some networking this summer!
