🚨Issue fixed 🚨

Blitzkreig · 2022-07-07T02:54:24+00:00

Ear (1) firmware update seems to have fixed the issue regarding frequent pausing of audio. Been using it since a few hours now but didn’t face the pausing even for a second. Is anyone still facing the above tho? 🤔

Thanks for keeping us in the loop of this saga arpan2308

I honestly believe it’s the logistics of having a 3rd party service doing this for us. We should be able to have more control over the process, so this is great feedback - although at your expense, which is truly regrettable.

I’ll continue to openly refer this back to our teams here at Nothing so that everyone is aware and that we can certainly move forward as a company from this experience.

Your contribution to our community, in regards to this particular issue or not, has been remarkable. I can assure you that we have that on the top of our minds here at Nothing. We just need to learn the processes of customer care for the first time and the journey is just starting. For these reasons, thank you for your support.

Hi arpan2308

Thank you for the detail. Perhaps our feedback to ecom hasn’t cascaded down to their executives yet. In any case, I’ll forward these comments too 👍️

vikas

I’ve got confirmation the email you received was sent by mistake and that your replacement will be available for pickup soon.

To both, once more, thank you for your support and patience. Part of me wants to share this personal thought with you that this process, albeit saddening, was inevitable. It’s a super-ambitious launch in such a short period of time and in so many countries. The only plus (and this is major): you. The differentiator here is the fact we’ve got real fans, supportive people with the right amount of criticism and patience to take us over these hurdles. So other “normal” customers may have also had a similar experience, but it’s through the real fans we can rise above it.

Thanks for keeping us posted vikas

I’m sorry for the email. I’ll double-check if the email was actually intended for you or if it was part of a mailing list by error. I’ll get back to you as soon as I’ve got a reply.

Goes without saying that we really appreciate your patience on this.

Such a sad state of customer service. I thought its only me who is getting such a service, but your experience proves the hypothesis.

Just imagine this is happening with the investors who have access to community. I got response to my hardware issue after posting it on twitter. Cant even imagine what normal customers must be facing.

Rudi

Just received mail saying that it was not intended for me. Whatever the case maybe, the state of nothing support is pathetic. Received a response after 3 days, and that too only after raising it here, again.

Exactly, I’m not getting any response even after 3-4 days, unless I raise it here.

Let’s hope our resilience, patience and multiple follow-ups with the team will ultimately improve the experience for the end customer. Fingers crossed. I can assure you that we are here posting not only because we are dissatisfied with the experience, but more because we want others to not have such an experience.

Rudi
Yes, I can understand the mistake with the email, things like this happen when you are starting out. But not responding to a customer’s query is not a small mistake and it didn’t happen once, but twice. I’ll quote the Customer Experience Manager of nothing, “It’s better to not have a customer service, than have a bad one”.

And as far as supporting a brand goes, here is something I feel that I’ve posted in the community before.

I’ll continue supporting the brand but only till it has not lost its path. I don’t believe in supporting/defending a brand/organization for what it once stood for, as is the case with many “fans” supporting/defending their brands and proving their allegiance.

Btw, glad to have you here @Rudi as a community manager. Thanks for listening to our suggestions, queries and sorting out things.

arpan2308

Can’t agree more.

Rudi

That’s the vibe I totally get, arpan2308 and that’s why you have my immediate appreciation. This is the only way we can get things right for the future. I share the same hope as you 👍️

Kastello

I can just again say, I’m happy to have @Rudi around. Nothing is a new company who released a product super super fast and according to murpuy’s law, everything that could go wrong, will go wrong at some point (if you didn’t prepared in advance). There are two options: you can either be lucky or unlucky to have all those problems super early. Some companies don’t give a s**t about it, but over here the feedback is listend to and I hope to see some real improvement soon.

Also I really hope it get’s now sorted out fast, for both of you @vikas and @arpan2308 and that “we” won’t face such issues in the future again 😄

Rudi

Thanks for extending your consideration once more vikas

Let’s get this sorted together.

There are some tips on this topic here, harsh, as you may have already seen it:

@Rudi Finally received my replacement. As usual, things weren’t smooth. The service center team received the replacement unit without any information at all, they weren’t even sure whether it was a replacement device or not. After multiple calls with the support team, was finally able to sort it out.

Rudi

Mixed feelings reading your reply vikas
As we’re going through this journey for the first time, I can see that we need to improve our communication channels with suppliers, service centres, logistics and ultimately you.

On the other hand, glad to hear you have your hands on your replacement! I’m thinking of the positive side of things: you get to unbox them for a second time 🤩

vikas

Rudi you get to unbox them for a second time

Yes, it was a delight.😅

Man, I feel bad for you, hopefully you get a working pair soon, they should give you something extra!!!

Kastello

arpan2308

Oh wow really sorry to hear! 😔

Rudi

Our support team also reached out to me to let me know about this faulty unit before I saw your post, arpan2308, they’re concerned about letting you down.

It is so unfortunate, I am really sorry for that.

The team reassured me they’re dealing with this situation as a matter of urgency, as this is unacceptable.
I’m also monitoring this closely, and rest assured the team is expediting a new unit for you as soon as possible, and you’ll get confirmation of the despatch.

Additionally, we’ll be redressing the inconvenience this situation has caused you - my colleagues in support will be taking care of that in due course.

Thank you for everything, and keep me posted.

arpan2308

So 3rd unboxing done. 1st had battery issue and 2nd was dead on arrival. This time it was a different experience. Somehow the box and packing inside the plastic wrap was full moist and wet…not sure why so. Cardboard box was like a wet paper….pull tag had no chance given the moist box. Recorded the unboxing. @Rudi hope this will help in quality control going forward.
