on downgrading or rooting rc30??? i would just like to kno...
thnx...ciao
Long story short, when there is a result, it will be all over. I would go so far to say as even if there is a small hurdle overcome... it will be the top thread on every Android forum.
Very true. I got screwed with a RC30 phone too, so I have to wait as well. I'm sure with time, someone will find a way. Of course if you don't like waiting, you can always buy a dev phone.
Or better yet get a replacement phone. I had a bum trackball on my old one, got my replacement and it came with rc29 on it. I'm now running rc30 rooted.
I'm past T-Mobile's grace period. Is it possible to get a replacement? My keys are all bashed in.
What was the cause of it, dropped it? If you dropped it then probably no chance. You can always call and ask them if there is anything they can do, its worth a shot! I had my old one since the g1 first came out and no problems returning it for me.

T-Mobile support has been very bad to me. No I did not drop it, it came that way. And the screen squeaks.

There's no limited 1 year warranty like on most electronics sold nowadays?

i know HTC has a 1year warranty if you look in your manual, and my problem is that my camera button isnt working at all and i do so want rc28 back as well,
BUT i got my g1 off ebay and i dont have a receipt so i dont know if they will take it any thoughts maybe someone who payed in cash could scan me a receipt,?

I called them (HTC, T-Mobile said they couldn't help because I didn't have my original contract with them ) and they said they were going to "repair" my "problem."
So a repair won't do, a replacement is the only option for us.

well if you bought it off ebay, t-mobile has no obligation to replace it for you. that is a service for T-Mobile customers. you would need to speak to HTC directly.

HTC has an obligation to repair/replace the device under the 1 year warranty regardless of whether you bought the phone on or off contract. Problem is, you cant submit a claim directly through HTC, only T-Mobile.
Hey all,
What are your experiences with Samsung's warranty repair?
I've replaced my phone a few times with AT&T, and I finally got one where the GPS works pretty good. However, the microphone is muffled and the touch-sensitive buttons are not very responsive. I'd really like these two things fixed, but I don't want Samsung to just end up sending me a replacement (where the GPS won't work). The Samsung repair guy says they just repair, not replace... but, I wanted to hear if anyone else has done this.
Thanks!

i've sent my phone in once, and yes they wont replace it as that only your carrier can do it...samsung only repairs it

How do I get a refund on my R? Should i just barge in and say, I don't want this phone anymore with all the problems. Gimme my money back!! Btw, I will buy a Sensation or a used S2 with that money. Just tell me am i eligible for the refund? I bought my phone in Dec'11
So you used it for cca half a year and now gonna claim for refund?
Sounds...
Well, I am facing quite a lot of problems. It crashes once everyday, The other day I was giving my exam( was copying answers from my phone xD) and BOOM it crashed..RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY EYES! I also face headphone jack issues, screen issues and Phone heating/battery issues. And i have a ****ty service centre in my area.. Real bad reviews.
So once i give it to get serviced it will take a while to come back.
P.S - What is the time period to get a refund?

To tell you in simple words you won't get a complete refund after using it for like 5 months.
At the most you can request the service center guys to put in a brand new motherboard & be happy if they do that.
I will take it to the service centre tommorow and revert back
And one more thing before I take it to the service centre. I did not fill the warranty card that came with the phone
I just have the bill.
Did you guys fill the warranty card and submit it to your service centre?

I have one insane idea, brick ur phone that way that no one can fix it, not even ssc guys and than claim replcement either they will refund or will give u new sgr which is not possible as sgr has been discontinued.
(Sorry just joking, dnt even think of doing this)
U can sell ur phone if u get great deal they wont give u refund, only will repair or replace parts.

One way of getting a refund is screwing up ur motherboard (dont ask me how, **** happens!) and hoping that the SSC doesnt have any stock. I got my SGR's MB replaced once already and it got screwed again, so I've given it back and they said they hv to replace the motherboard again.
Although Galaxy R is a fantastic device in itself, one part of me hopes that they will gimme refund saying MB is outta stock. And this is mainly due to the step motherly treatment meted out to it by Samsung and relative lack of dev support compared to HTC and other Samsung flagship devices.
I'll know in a couple of days. And maybe u can use this trick.
P.S. My SGR's motherboard got screwed on it own, I did not do it for the refund

I too like my R but I want my hands on the stock ICS ROM (The galaxy nexus one) and the S2 has it
.. when I first saw the stock ICS ROM on my friends S2 I regretted buying R almost immediately. I really hope our R to get some ICS like ROM.
Stock ICS is the sexiest thing that happened to mankind after Amanda Bynes xD

Hi if you don't mind which country are you from ? Are you from India ?
If not then it seems that you don't have any service centers in your country ? Why don't you take it to one ?
It won't help by posting in every thread that your handset has SOD.
My beloved Galaxy R suffered its first casualty last night and I think its a big one.I kept it for charging overnight while it was switched on from 2.30pm to 7 am.In the morning I noticed the phone was in 'deep sleep' mode.I tried force restarting the phone and removing the battery and replacing it just didnt budge.I then skipped work took it to the service centre in Dadar,Mumbai where they were clueless about the model itself let alone the problem.They couldnt diagnose the problem for 20 mins and asked me to carry on and call them in the afternoon.The afternoon call was fruitless and they told me that it would take a couple of days to repair it. Although I have serious doubts about whether my phone would be repaired.
Fingers crossed eitherways,but I am not going down without adequate compensation if the phone cannot be repaired
oh your phone will be repaired, i am sure

Hi Everyone,
My Sensation (her name was Candace) died last night. I was unlocking the screen and it suddenly froze then turned off. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get it to turn back on. I tried changing the battey, charging, etc. I took it to the T-mobile store and they took a look at it and said it was dead. Then they told me there was good news/bad news. The good news was my insurance plan meant I could get a replacement for $5. The bad news was there weren't any showing in stock and it was backordered and there were no alternates listed, so they didn't know when I would get a replacement phone. The salesman said that they were supposed to tell me that I would have to wait, but he said that he remembered how much I rely on it and that he would talk to the store manager. The store manager told me that an upgrade to a Samsung GS III would be $100! So I'm now the owner of a GS III. I miss Candace, but I like my new phone.
Since everyone on this forum has been so great, I'm offering a few semi-free items to anyone living in the continental US. Send me $5 to cover shipping and you can take your pick of the following two items:
1) Used Anker 1900 mAh battery.
2) Used Blue Case Mate Gelli Case for the HTC Sensation.
3) Used Case Mate Tough Case for HTC Sensation
If you want one, send me an e-mail at [email protected]. I can't use these anymore, so I figure I'll send them to someone who can.
Thanks everyone, it's been fun and I appreciate all of the good advice I've received.
Cheers,
Joe Gonzalez

That happened to me once but all I had to do was remove the SIM card and SD card and it fired right back up.
I tried that, but no luck. Frankly, I would have been satisfied with another Sensation. I really liked that phone! I can't really afford the $100 they charged me for the upgrade, but I'm going to sell one of my .357 revolvers and use the money to pay for the upgrade and get a bow, so it will work out.
For everyone else, here's a pic of the stuff I'm giving away.

Mine has just done exactly the same. Has gone back to HTC for repair, but I suspect it might be the Google Maps update problem that other models seem to be experiencing.
MrSums
I have had my s8+ for 2 weeks now and i just found out recently that sometimes, it shows some white lines ( i think there were some pink and green ones aswell ) on the top part of the screen. They used to show up while watching movies/Youtube videos and last night i saw them on the home screen and in the settings ( this time they were black ). I googled the problem and there was no one complaining about it. I just hope its a software problem as i do not have waranty nor money to get another phone.
What could be the problem? Thank you in advance.

The phone was not bought from a store but from someone who got it and didnt want it so i got it cheaper. It wad brand new though ( but didnt have waranty )
Contact Samsung. As long as it's not user inflicted, those kind of defects are factory covered.
Regardless of where you bought it.

You should contact Samsung customer support.
Definitely if you are in the UK they just use your manufacture date plus 3 months as proof of warranty.

Well...i am not from UK. There are no stores in here that will just take my phone and fix it. All i wanted to know is if anyone had this problem and if its a software problem or the display itself...
sounds like a display issue, usually bad connection or faulty display driver (hardware driver), only fix is new screen

Your device very likely has a hardware problem. This won't get better, and may deteriorate. With that said, it's also very likely that Samsung will repair it for you at no cost. But you'll likely be without a phone for two to four weeks. I'd suggest contacting Samsung, then making arrangements to get by while your phone is gone. Pick up a used device somewhere?
Even if the phone was from the UK or somewhere else (not stolen) you could get this fixed by calling Samsung. If you continue to say you can't contact Samsung all I can surmise from that is that you obtained the phone illegally. EU Warranty is 2 years you have definitely got warranty.
