[Galaxy S II General] Crucio_:
I was told by the man in phones4u that it was being sent to Samsung but it seems to have gone to their repair people. :/

Do you think going to sammy direct would have gotten me a different answer or cheaper repair?
[Galaxy S II General] sean is here.:
They probably would have given it a more close inspection, as to signs of possible drops or accidents.

That sucks. I'll be sure and steer clear of phones4u in the future, thanks for the heads up.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Dunno but I find it easier to deal directly with the manufacturer than the rip off merchants. When my tab had some dust under the screen within a few weeks of purchase PC World refused to exchange it and said I may need to pay for the repair. Told them to where to stick it and called Samsung directly and they sent a prepaid jiffy bag for the device and a form to fill and send it back to them. They repaired it free of charge and I got it back within a week of sending it off.
[Galaxy S II General] Crucio_:
Thanks for the input Intratech, think this is a case of lesson learnt for any future problems (hoping there isnt any).
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
You are in that very difficult position accidental damage by user who of course claims not .Versus phone broke by itself

You could claim against the seller but after six months its up to you to provide the proof that its a manufacturing fault .

As said Samsung may well have been the best route as they will have a higher margin and better trained staff than retail outlets .

Although I prefer to use the S2 as my daily phone, I also own an iPhone 4.

One thing I really love about Apple is their warranty. Pretty much no questions asked. I guarantee if I went in with a cracked LCD (not screen) they would have replaced it on the spot.

Although I love Sammy (S1 & S2) their warranty stinks. Also, no official invoice means no warranty.

[Galaxy S II General] Crucio_:
Thanks for the replies folks.

I also love what apple do for the customers warranty wise, being able to look up the age of a model instore is amazing.

Do you think that sammy should introduce something like this due to how much they are competing with apple now?

How hard would it be to incorporate this service in to the generic phone shops (CPW,Phones4u,ect).
[Galaxy S II General] Gizoman:
The cracks maybe related to temperature differentiation? From very hot ambiance to very cold one? It is good to know this kind of stuff.
[Galaxy S II General] coffmad:
i work in mobile sales, and i see this allllll the time, now i do believe you when you say that it was probably a manufacturing fault with the screen, but you have to keep in mind that probably 97% of the time with customers, it is the their own fault, and about 85% of those people will downright lie about it, ive had a customer come into my store shouting and screaming that it wasnt her fault the screen was cracked, that it was made badly and that she always was super careful about it, until her 5/6 year old son says 'but wait mommy, i saw you throw it up against the wall when you were shouting...'

fact is, people lie about it, all the time, same with water damage! 'sorry sir but its water damaged, theres not alot i can do about it'

'it hasnt been anywhere near water! it must be the humidity, or condensation, but it most defiantly hasnt gotten wet'

'but look sir... that looks alot like milk to me'

'ah...'

im sure if people were honest all the time, your phone would have been fixed no problem, but no, they arnt :/

sorry about the rant!
[Galaxy S II General] Crucio_:
This was something that had crossed my mind, before it happened i was at my mums all warm lovely, then i went out and it was freezing was out for about 30min before i noticed what had happened.

I saw that article about how the s2 can work at low low temps the other day, but i dont think it said anything about the effect of a quick change in temps.

Just using o2.co.uk as an example (i know there are a lot of different prices out there i just used a popular place), our s2 is £449.99 on p&g and the ip4s is £499.99.

The £50 difference isn't much more of a premium for how long most people keep there phones for.
[Galaxy S II General] sean is here.:
I scored mine for 275GBP including an extra battery, and a silicone case. 2 months old (used) not a scratch, delivered to my door (through pure coincidence). Sammobile.com claims that factory warranty runs until Sept 2013.:D
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
I suppose im lucky in the sense in that when i purchased my phone on eBay it came with a 2 year warranty and (touch wood:D) ive had no trouble with it at all and i have it 8 months now and it's running fine, ive heard some bad reports about Phones4U too, their sales assistants are seriously pushy as well the minute you step into one of their shops they are all over you like a rash firing questions at you desperate to make a sale, any wonder i rarely ever go there anymore when im in the UK.
[Galaxy S II General] Crucio_:
Mine was free on £40 p/m contract, i got it the day after it was released tho ;) it has been in a silicone case from day one. I don't doubt that shopping around will find you our phone cheaper. i just think the majority of people would use a place like o2 or other retail chains.

I don't think that i will be using them again, i didn't get really get any bad service and the staff were as helpful as they could be. I just want to move away from the whole tied to a contract thing, im signed up for 24 months and i regret that now. I will probably aim to do something like in your sig and go on gif gaf if they are still as good in 15months time.

[Galaxy S II General] Galactus:
Yeah my warranty card states that the device has a warranty of 24months starting from date of purchase. So Sept 2013 for me also lol
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
I saw warranty on SamMobile and it was of 1 year and 10 months from the date of purchase but the Samsung guy says he will only give it till 1 year from the date of purchase

P.S yesterday I got my screen replaced and my proximity sensor is not working

Such an idiot guy,I have to go again to service center tomorrow because today is Sunday and its closed:mad:
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Warranty may be dependant upon area of sales .

Usual in the UK with Samsung mobiles is that Samsung offer a limited warranty for twenty four months .

That is outside of the sellers responsibility for the phone which is usually a twelve month warranty .

Hi, first you have to check the camera module of your defy. If it's Bayer you shouldn't have any problems... SOC modules will have to make extra work

I updated my defy using a nandroid of 2.3.6 defy+, all I did was wipe data/cache and backup froyo (just in case) and do this:

Go to "Recovery"

Go to "Custom Recovery"

Go to "Backup and Restore"

Go to "Restore" (system+data)

Select "4.5.3-134_DFP-132..." and confirm

Go to "Backup and Restore"

Select "Advance Restore"

Select "4.5.3-134_DFP-132r..." and confirm

Select "boot" and confirm

Go to "Backup and Restore"

Select "Advance Restore"

Select "4.5.3-134_DFP-132..." and confirm

Select "devtree" and confirm

Go to "Backup and Restore"

Select "Advance Restore"

Select "4.5.3-134_DFP-132..." and confirm

Select "recovery" and confirm

Reboot

As far as I know you can downgrade to froyo with this but I'm not very sure about it

[Eee Pad Transformer General] CrazyPeter:
Had Asus not been in such a rush to widespread the ICS Prime release, they would have not had so much negative PR. Surely a beta release to the tech community have allowed them to spot these problems before a wider rollout to everyone?

Surely the same applies to the TF101 ICS release too.

Get a beta out to those that want it, and then provide a channel for constructive feedback, bug reports and crash logs.

It seems insane that many of us just want ICS, and whilst it may still need a little tweaking and polishing, it will still be a million times better than anything a dev can do my lashing binaries together from various arbitrary products without access to the true sourcecode.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
In this thread, just click on the model phone you have. Back everything up, obviously (nandroid and titanium backup might be a good idea), fully wipe (data/factory reset, format /system, format /boot) and flash your particular Full OTA file. Now you'll be on a 100% stock ROM, and it WILL replace your current bootloader on each boot.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsastr:
You will commonly find four different types of roms for our phone: AOSP, CM, MIUI, and Sense.

AOSP - Android Open Source Project.

This is Android in its most 'pure' form, although it lacks some of the extra features found in other roms.

CM - CyanogenMod

CM roms are based mainly on AOSP code, with added tweaks, apps, and features.

MIUI -

MIUI is a Chinese rom with a heavily customized interface that is translated into English and ported for phones such as ours. While many people love the interface created by MIUI (myself included), be prepared to have occasional elements of Chinese in some of the MIUI apps. This rarely affects usability, but it is a deal breaker for some.

Sense -

This is the default interface on an HTC phone such as ours. Many people love it, especially for the fancy widgets that come with it, although my experience is that it has more bloat and worse battery life than other options.

For battery life, I still like RoyalGinger 3.0 the best. It's an AOSP / CM7 combo. It's based on 2.3.4, which isn't the newest out there, but it is very stable, fast, unbloated, and good for battery life.

Uhm... is very hard to understand what is the battery work in a phone.

3G is a big battery drainer, SURE !

If 3G signal is low the phone can use till 700-900mA to web navigate.

If you live below the 3G antenna the battery goes very fine, but not your health ;)

If you force 2G and disable any data the battery usage goes very low, many days.

I'm used to have always Battery Monitor app running (in the lasts 6months) and I know who and how uses my battery.

I keep my X8 running PowerAMP player all day (I used so, because I'm a software programmer and I need to cover the noise in my office - damned collegues).

The normal battery use with MP3, and data OFF goes between 30 to 80 mA, depending by type of MP3.

Now I've launched a Tuner Pro analyser and I leave it running all day so I can figure out what is the CPU load and trying to understand battery responsability.

GingerDX is just the best ROM IMHO, I used other ROMs, and always came back to GingerDX, because it has everthing I need, and it´s smooth.

I use v.022 now, and I get 1-2 days of battery time, because I use Wi-Fi so much (up to 2h a day).
