⭐ 1/5 – Very disappointing experience with Ovantica

Purchased a Google Pixel 8 for ₹30,750/-, listed on Ovantica’s app as “refurbished” and in “superb condition.”

Before purchase, I received continuous calls and WhatsApp messages from their sales team. However, after delivery, the support experience was completely different.

18th September 2026: I received the phone. On the same day, while transferring my data, the display turned green and started flickering. I immediately reported the defect to Ovantica with photos and videos and requested a pickup and full refund.

Despite repeated follow-ups, I was redirected between different teams and received very slow responses. I was unable to reach Ovantica’s team by phone, and my complaint was handled through WhatsApp messages.

30th September 2026: Pickup was finally arranged — 12 days after the defect was reported on the day of delivery.

1st October 2026: Ovantica received the defective phone. Surprisingly, I was then asked again to provide the issue details, photos and videos, despite having already submitted them on 18th September 2026.

5th October 2026: After the device was checked, I was asked to provide my bank details for the refund. I provided them as requested, and Ovantica subsequently confirmed that the refund was being processed.

7th October 2026: I finally received the refund of ₹30,750/-, two days after providing my bank details.

Overall, this process took 19 calendar days, counting both 18th September 2026 and 7th October 2026 — from reporting the defect and requesting a pickup and full refund to finally receiving my money back. It was a highly frustrating and stressful experience and also caused significant financial pressure, especially while dealing with a defective phone and waiting for the refund.

The handling of my complaint also appeared inconsistent with the customer-service/refund guidelines stated on Ovantica’s website/app, particularly considering the delays and repeated requests for information that had already been provided.

A phone advertised as “refurbished / superb condition” developing a green, flickering display on the first day, followed by such a lengthy after-sales process, was deeply disappointing.

The biggest concern was the contrast between the very active sales follow-up before purchase and the slow and frustrating support after reporting a defect.

Date-wise summary:

₹30,750/-

18th September 2026 — Purchase & defect reported
30th September 2026 — Pickup arranged
1st October 2026 — Defective device received by Ovantica
5th October 2026 — Bank details provided for refund
7th October 2026 — Refund of ₹30,750/- received

Potential customers should carefully consider Ovantica’s product condition, stated policies and after-sales service before purchasing.

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing an extremely frustrating touch responsiveness bug on my Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 2025 (Model: TB375FC / MediaTek Dimensity 8300) running ZUI. I'm trying to figure out if this is a driver/firmware digitizer bug or an unfixable hardware grounding defect.

The Symptom:

• Touch registration delay: Taps do not register instantly. It requires a few milliseconds of continuous finger contact for the touch to register, making quick taps (typing, gaming) extremely laggy and unreliable.
• Temporary fix: The issue comes and goes. It can be temporarily "cleared" for a few minutes by locking and unlocking the screen, touching the display with the official Lenovo stylus, or switching refresh rates back and forth.

Exhaustive Troubleshooting Already Attempted (None Solved It):

1. Display & Developer Options

• Adjusted touch sampling settings.
• Enabled Force HW Overlay.
• Locked refresh rate (forced persistent 60Hz and forced persistent high refresh rates).
• Disabled stylus/pen features in system settings.

2. System Settings, Apps & ADB Tweaks

• Removed unnecessary bloatware and background system software via ADB.
• Replaced the default launcher with custom launchers (e.g., Niagara Launcher).
• Disabled Lenovo's integrated Game Assistant, AI Smart Services, and One Vision window overlays.

3. Firmware, ROMs & System Resets

• Standard Factory Reset.
• Hard Reset via Recovery.
• System updates to the latest ZUI builds.
• Flashed/Downgraded ROMs to lower matching firmware versions for the TB375FC (tested incrementally across versions; the tap delay persists across all builds with slight variations).

4. Hardware & Power Variables

• Tested while charging (plugged in) and strictly on battery power (occurs in both scenarios).
• Tested with the Lenovo Pen active and with Bluetooth completely disabled.

It says it's on and the icon is on a semi-transparent stage turning it off didn't help turning it on doesn't help,and it mutes my notifications completely can anyone help?

So my phones storage is full, but I barely have apps, like let's say it's just messenger and capcut plus the things that I can't delete, I will agree that I have a lot of pics, 20gb, but that not enough to make my storage fulll. One time this app got deleted by itself, it has over 10gb but when I checked my storage it's still the same as when I had the app. What should I do?? I've deleted EVERYTHING I can but it seems that nothing works... My pics went from 36gb to 20gb, but the storage is still the same as before-​​​​​​​

I'm trying to fix up an old hand-me-down Vortex phone that my uncle said to give to my cousin. The camera was acting weird, and the phone was really bloated, so I wanted to factory reset it. We actually knew the lock screen password to get in, but the settings menu on this phone is weird, and I couldn't find the reset option anywhere in the settings.

​Because of that, I ended up resetting it through the bootloader instead. Now I'm stuck in FRP. Since it's an old phone, nobody knows what Google email or password was originally on it.

​I managed to get onto a Google search page through a Play Protect popup, but whenever I try opening a link, it throws a "Turn on JavaScript" error. It's also asking me if I want to update the phone, but I haven't done it because I'm worried updating it might make it even harder to fix.

​Here's what I've tried so far with Gemini:

• ​Tried holding text on the browser to hit "Share," but it only gives me "Copy" and "Select All."

• ​Tried getting into keyboard settings, but there's no gear icon—it just lets me resize the keyboard.

• ​Opened the emergency dialer screen, but there's no pencil icon or option to edit emergency info to get into settings.

​I'm not sure of the exact model, just that it's a Vortex phone (I attached pictures of the back of the phone, the JavaScript error screen, and the dialer screen).

​Should I update it, or will that break things further? Any ideas on how to get past this screen or get into the settings?

TLDR, I ordered my phone 20 days ago and it still hasn't arrived and there have been no updates since then. 

I ordered a Nothing 4a phone 20 days ago and it's still in transit. The last update is from DPD Poland from 19 days ago that it was "sent outside Poland".

It was due to arrive in 3 to 5 days, so after 8 days (6 working days) I contacted Nothing support and they recommended I get on to the courier in my country, which I did. DPD Ireland had no information and recommended I get on to Nothing and get them to open a case.

I did, and they opened a case. 

It's been almost 2 weeks since I first contacted them about this and there has been no progress made at all. They escalated the case early last week and promised to contact me within 24 hours. I got an email 24 hours later saying that they hadn't met the 24 hour deadline and would contact me in another 48 hours. They didn't contact me after 48 hours. 

So I contacted them again 4 days ago and again they said they would escalate the case and come back to me in 48 hours. Again they didn't get back to me. So yesterday I contacted them in chat, stating the case number and that I was due an update that I hadn't received. 

It took 3 hours for them to reply in chat, at which time they said there was no update and then immediately closed the chat before I had a chance to reply. 

Then I received an email stating that "we will put this email on hold so that we can get back to you once we get a response from the relevant team". I tried replying to the mail, but got no response. What does "put it on hold" mean. Have they essentially blocked me? 

Yesterday I made a post on r/NothingTech about it, and this morning I got a chat request from them asking for the case number so they could look into it. They looked into it and told me the case had been escalated (a third time?) and the relevant team were looking into my request for either a reissue or a refund and I'd be receiving a response by email. I asked when I'd be receiving the email and got no reply. That was over 12 hours ago.

This is incredibly frustrating. I understand that DPD are the ones that messed up originally, but surely Nothing should have achieved something by now. Does anybody have any experience with Nothing customer support? Any advice? 

My current phone is 6 years old and the battery took a nosedive a couple of weeks ago, now I can only use it for about 15 minutes before it needs to be plugged in, so I need this sorted.

I live in a semi-rural area, and my phone is the only source of internet i have. Since about a month ago my phone will just disconnect completely from the tower, data and cell service both, in certain spots in the house. I knew there were spotty areas, but they never used to completely disconnect, and it seems that the connection is slower than before somehow. I can't figure out the cause, or a solution to this issue. The phone is a Oneplus Nord N30 that i have had for around 6 months, running LineageOS, and i am on Verzion network. I have tried putting the SIM card into an older phone, and it had no issues at all with disconnecting, i would use it but it needs some maintenance. I have reset network settings, updated LineageOS, fiddled with the network settings and tried to position my phone in many different ways and some places it's a difference of a foot from a few bars to completely disconnected. The only way to get it to reconnect to the tower is to turn the SIM on and off in my settings, or just wait long enough in a spot that i know will have a stronger connection. Any ideas or solutions are appreciated, i have about had it with this issue.

I am in a group message with two other friends. We used to all have iPhones but one recently got rid of his phone and I think he is using something like cricket. We didn’t have any issues messaging each other but this last week we haven’t been able to message in a group.

It looks like when I message him in the group it sends the text to him directly from my phone and he can’t load it. But when I text his phone directly he can’t. it’s really weird and I don’t understand it. I’m going to message the other guy with the iPhone to make sure he didn’t change any settings on his phone. this might not be too much to go off of but any help would be great!

edit: my friend with the iPhone said he is getting the messages but when he replies it doesn’t send. It’s pretty weird.

Por favor, necesito ayuda. No sé si soy el único con este problema, pero cada vez que entro a Minecraft y estoy en una llamada —ya sea al entrar a un mundo, al pulsar "jugar" o incluso cuando ya estoy dentro— la aplicación me desconecta de las llamadas de WhatsApp. Es un problema reciente, ya que he tenido varios teléfonos antes y nunca había tenido este inconveniente. También me sucede con Discord, aunque me cambié a WhatsApp; esto no me pasaba en otros juegos. Específicamente, se corta la conexión de la llamada, pero veo la notificación de que esta sigue activa; sin embargo, no me deja colgar ni hacer nada hasta que se desconecta por sí sola. Mi teléfono es un Samsung Galaxy A17. Por favor, necesito ayuda con esto. Mis amigos me dicen que, al cabo de unos segundos, escuchan un sonido como si me estuviera reconectando, pero terminan colgando y volviéndome a llamar. Por favor, necesito ayuda.

Hey there! My sister forgot her pattern. She has a Samsung Galaxy note 10+. She can't recall ever setting up a Samsung account. She doesn't think she backed anything up to her Google account, so she doesn't want to factory reset. Does anyone know ANY way to unlock her phone without doing a factory reset? Or is there any way to pull data off her phone before doing the reset? Any help is appreciated!

Hey everyone, I'm dealing with a bizarre audio issue on my iPhone and I'm completely out of ideas. Whenever I record a voice message or a video inside Instagram, Messenger, or Snapchat, the audio is almost dead quiet. It just records a faint hiss, and my voice is barely audible even at maximum volume. I already confirmed it is not a playback issue on my phone because the sent voice notes sound just as quiet when I play them back on my PC browser.

The weird thing is that the hardware clearly works. Regular phone calls, FaceTime, Discord (both calls and voice notes), native Voice Memos, and the native Camera app (both front and rear video) all record loud, crystal-clear audio. Even native iMessage voice notes work completely fine without any volume drop.

So far, I've updated iOS to the latest build, completely deleted and reinstalled the affected apps, cycled microphone privacy permissions, cleaned the mic grills, and turned Bluetooth completely off in iOS Settings. I also checked my Accessibility settings to make sure Mono Audio is off and the audio balance is centered.

Since all native Apple features and iMessage record voice notes properly, the physical microphones are functional, but 3rd-party apps seem to get near-zero input gain or aggressive noise suppression. Has anyone experienced this specific glitch or found a way to fix the audio routing without doing a full phone wipe? Thanks in advance!

Hello people of Reddit I have a question about my phone. Why isn't my phone charging without me having to reset it? My phone is a GalaxyA03 I've had it for about two and a half years. It all started when I first got the phone it had this issue where it said I had my finger over the little thumb indicator thing to unlock your phone. But the thing is I never had my finger over that sensor. Anytime that would happen my phone wouldn't let me charge it at all so I would have to reset it.
It wasn't until the end of June of this year that it completely stopped wanting to charge unless I reset my phone. Even the protect your battery feature would say that it's at 85% even though it's not. At one point I don't know how it happened my phone did start charging again without me having to reset it but that only lasted a day.
I do not have the funds or knowledge to fix this phone myself I do know it's not a battery issue. I have done a battery diagnostic multiple times. This is also not a cable issue I've had tested this with multiple cables even new ones same issue. From what I researched it's possibly a software issue which I don't know how to fix.
I also just can't send my phone in anywhere because I do use this phone for work. So if anybody has any advice on why my phone is acting like this please tell me. I've been desperately looking and I've never seen a thread or anything about this issue unless I've been missing something. If anybody has any questions please ask thank you!!!

please someone help me i have problem already 2 years problem is when i open any new app that was downloaded after 2024 just would reboot my system i dont know how yo fix it phone model oscal c70 i will be grateful if someone has fix

As you know from the title, my phone keeps playing ads and IDK what's going on, this is a hand-me down from my Nana {Grandma} but it's a good phone, I haven't had any issues except for the occasional glitch with Wi-Fi or when it won't charge until I unplug and plug it back in. My phone is up to date and I've tried restarting, it didn't work, this is the first time I've had an issue like this, I'm one of those people who hates ads but understands that people make money from ads but they're still annoying. If anyone has any advice on how to fix this any or idea what the issue could be pls let me know.

P.S I forgot to mention but the ads are video ads.

UPDATE:I have fixed the issue, I had a voice recorder installed and after I uninstalled it, the ads stopped!

Since today my phone will not boot up fully. It keeps turning on, gets stuck on the very first image of the boot up animation, turns off for a second or two and repeat.

I don't remember downloading anything new, so I don't know why this is happening.

I tired to connect it with a computer but it won't show up in the usb devices. (I will try another device later.)

I also can't seem to get to the recovery mode because my phone just keeps the loop going.

I care more about the data on there than the phone, so if I can atleast get that off the device, that would be great. Or, of course, if I can get it fixed.

Right now I am trying to let the battery drain and then charge it up again. (No idea if it actually still can charge since it is stuck in the loop, so it won't change to the charge screen.)

Thanks for any help I can get.

I have a Pixel 6 Pro and I've had Mint Mobile for almost a year now. In the last few months I've noticed I can't send certain contacts pictures (the first friend I noticed this on had recently downgraded to a much more basic Apple phone; but it seems to be more than just that). More recently I've noticed I can't even reply to certain group texts I get thrown in.

Is this a phone issue (Google, Android vs Apple) or a provider issue? if so, what can I possibly do?

thanks for any advice

Hey everyone, I’m having a really strange issue with TikTok playback on my Xiaomi Mi 10 (Snapdragon 865, 90Hz display) and I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this or found a fix. When watching high-quality / 60fps videos on TikTok: Mi 10 limits the playback to 30fps, and the video quality looks noticeably lower/blurry, as if it's served at a lower bitrate. On my Galaxy S22, the videos play perfectly fine at crisp 60fps. Surprisingly, even on a budget Samsung A20e, the exact same videos play smoothly at 60fps with visibly sharper details and better quality than on the Mi 10. What I’ve already tried: Set display refresh rate to 90Hz. Disabled battery optimizations for TikTok (set to "No restrictions"). Cleared app cache and reinstalled TikTok. Turned off Video Toolbox / Game Turbo enhancements. Nothing changes—Mi 10 still forces 30fps playback and lower video quality. Is this a known MIUI/HyperOS MediaCodec issue or a server-side device fingerprinting bug from TikTok? Is there any workaround (specific APK version, SetEdit tweak, or system setting) to force 60fps? Thanks in advance!

Motorola moto g22

Woke up this morning to by phone being a brick, just the little white light flashing when I connected it to a chargers.(tried a few different ones) .

tried the various hold the power button/volume down buttons - to try to reset it. Nothing.

I've now down loaded the Motorola Software fix program to my laptop, but it keeps saying the mobile isn't connected. I've tried different cables, and checked they work with other devices just not the mobile.

It keeps making that connected/disconnected beep on my laptop, so think it is a problem with the USB C socket in the phone.

Any advice on who to move forward other than take it in to repair?
