Galaxy R was launched in the Indian market with limited stocks so it is not available the market as of now because after the price drop most of Galaxy R's stock was sold out pretty quickly.
Galaxy S Advance is the handset with slightly lower spec and different chipset is in the pipeline to be launched soon without any specific date.
Moreover check out more shops because maybe & I mean in a very rare case you may still get Galaxy R as done of the shops still might have some last pieces.
Do update here whatever you buy.
Hope this helps.

i have searched almost every shop in my city but finding a sgr is like far cry for me they have galaxy s plus in place of sgr but i didn't find it worth money as compared to sgr.. i need sgr badly

Hi,
Please do check entire fone in the shop itself. There are chances that he mite be seliin refurnished fones. Please make a thorough check of the product. If purchased then do check d warranty of fone either by online/Hotline No / service center..
All the best

The only way to check for a refurbished handset is to check for the seal on the box to be proper and a not a re-sealed/double sealed one.
Though there maybe ways around that too but its the first rule to check the seal.
And use the handset and check every thing you can during the first three days itself as Samsung will replace or make a refund to you if you face any issue and report it to them within 3-4 days of purchase.
Do update when you get one.

Well, the original seal on box can be removed and new one can be placed. you can find such seal in the market.
even though do a thorough check before purchasing. All the best

One suggestion though, why dont you get Motorola Atrix 2 for 22k engadget.com/2011/10/27/motorola-atrix-2-review/
seems a better option all together

Even LG optimus 2x is better alternative similar to Galaxy R you can get it for 19,500 if you didn't find any store who sells Galaxy R. LG UI is not so gud and u need to go for custom ROM, optimus 2x is having so many custom ROM'S.

i found one sgr in faridabad which cost 21900 looking forward for it

Well i think that this story is half true,
People have been using there R, and only few of them have been facing this issue, including me.
The defect varies from each R. And yes Samsung do give refund if its nt repairable.
Also chk d link. people are also facing such issue

I guess there's no way to assure that u will or won't get the defective one. According to my observations (this and other forums' users) I would say that most of the devices are problems-free. I guess not even 10% of users of our community complained over those issues. It's up to you if you take the risk or not.

When you call into AT&T ask for the number to the warranty department. They will ask you a few questions to determine if that's the right department you are looking for. Just say you charged your phone and it no longer turns on. Eventually after lying a bit more you will have a replacement device on its way to you. Works for me all the time and have never failed yet.
They say all kind of things to scare you out of it, but nothing ever happens. I don't know if it is just my luck. I warranty at least 3 times for the year just to keep my phone looking brand new and I send it in working perfectly fine.

If you wanna keep karma intact call Samsung and ask them how much it would be to replace the digitizer. If you don't believe in karma just flash a ROM to it from another Samsung phone. Bring it to ATT store and say WTF my phone just stopped working.

Lol thanks rapstar I can definitely give it a shot. Here my thing jyazzie that your correct they don't warranty hardware breaking so by my son dropping the phone voided the warranty. But here my thing I have had other providers and they always warrantied at least one accidental replacement and for 199 I could just go and buy something else like a galaxy note. But seriously 199 for a phone that is on the do not sell list lol. Thank you all for the help and feed back. But I'll see if my work will let me get one temporarily.

I'd try to brick it through Kies, tbqh. Can be done without the screen on if you restore to 2.3 in ODIN. It's a risk that they see the digitizer and have a "WTF" moment, but you stand a good chance of getting away with saying, "I did the upgrade through Kies and now it doesn't work."

Indeed. I actually had Samsung replace my screen when I broke the glass a few months ago. They charged me 158 and they covered shipping both ways. I had the phone back in 8 days. Since they did the work it is still under warranty if anything else should go wrong. It was actually cheaper than any of the glass/digitizer units I could find online.

Sub par touch sensitivity

Since the day 1, my XL has low touch sensitivity.... I ve a screen guard on, but that should b no problem.....
Previously, i owned a Xperia Tipo.
The touch sensitivity in tipo was definitely better.
In XL, it is so bad that its been hampering the user experience...i m on 4.1.2 right now....
I ve to literally press the screen....i responds to the screen just under the fingernail., but not to the skin on fingertip... This has affected multitouch too.... The multi-touch is four finger.. Fine....but the sensitivity...
Its making me feel bad
What should i do.... Anyone else facing the same issue ???? Please help me.

known issue with XL. if you don't wanna live with it return the phone or try an app called SGS Touchscreen Booster sometimes it helps.
if the phone is under warranty try that as well.

As far as problems with touch it appears to be HW issue with some phones. How do you propose CM11 will fix that ? I and I guess many here are really dying to hear your response.

No I am not, I'm using 2105. Know people that do/did and just like you they had to send in their phone to get it exchanged which really does mean that it is a HW issue.
I just get pissed when some people on this forum spread false information like the case of Andro.Catalyst suggesting that CM11 will fix something that obviously not even Sony can fix without exchanging the phone or having their tech do something HW related with it.
Behavior like that shown by Andro.Catalyst should result in at least 3 weeks ban, hell even more would be right. Too much "wishing" and outright lying in this forum, most likely because many of users are under 12 years old or so it seems.

I hope what u say is right... But still, if I want a bugless stock rom, then there is no go
If Sony is gonna fix it with a software update, it's fine... But it does not explain why half of XL's are working just fine with the older firmwares
Anyways I dropped the phone off at Sony Care..... Today is Saturday... Estimated delivery date is Tuesday...
If the new phone has same problem, then I ll send that back too..... If they deny, then I ll have to go to consumer court.... Cuz we as customers deserve well functional phones
I ll keep this thread updated

I also used to have that problem on 4.1.2 but since updating to 4.2.2 my touch screen has been a lot better, not perfect, but better. It probably is a software issue which a recently certified update may fix.

[Q] Screen for tipo

Hi guys, I just broke my tipo's screen (the LCD not the touch plate) and I want to ask if I can replace it with another 3.2" screen, such as HTC Explorer's?
BTW if someone is from Macedonia and has a dead tipo around, write me a PM

This is not good idea...

what is not a good idea?

you cant replace other phone screen to other different. You should bring it to the Sony Service

the problem is that I don't have warranty for the phone, and there is not an official Sony service here in Macedonia, so the only way to repair my phone is to replace the screen myself. I personally have experience in repairing electronic devices, I was just thinking, my friend has a hard bricked HTC explorer and I thought I could take the screen from it and replace mine, but I found a dead tipo and I'll buy it tomorrow, so thanks anyway.
