Dude where are you situated in India ?

zero was in bhubaneshwar and it could be a regional availability problem.

Don't give up hope just as someone got hit its not necessary you'll get too ! :)

Do keep us updated and do tell us where after you situated to make sure if its a regional issue. :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] shiva.kakkar11:
@Zerocool,

I am located in Chennai buddy. I'll keep updating over the issue. Optimally, even I would rather have my Galaxy R repaired than go for a cumbersome replacement/repair process!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] zerocool_rkl:
I will get a demand draft (Banker cheque) in my name from samsung
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] FeralFire:
Did you have to present the warranty card?

I want to take my SGR to the service center.

I have the invoice but I can't find the warranty card.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Yes you have to take the original/xerox of the warranty card/ Purchase bill with you to claim warranty / repair. :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] martilulin:
Had a same problem...phone just died. In service they said is my fault that motherboard needs to be replaced. After many phone calls I got new motherboard and phone works fine, I was really rude, because phone was just three days old and never been dropped on the floor and technicians tried to cheat o me.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] FeralFire:
So, if I can't find the warranty card, I am f*cked?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
More or less you are in trouble if you can't find your Purchase Bill.

It's fine if you haven't got your warranty card stamped but you should have the original bill of purchase.

But if you have been to the Service Center before they store your details for their own records, so you maybe spared most of the trouble but still you'll have to explain them the situation.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] FeralFire:
I do have the bill. Just not the warranty card.

Will go next week. When I go back home. I don't get much time from college, here.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Sri Ram Bonda:
My phone was working fine till now, then suddenly it got shut down and failed to start again...Its just showing SAMSUNG........worried :(
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
How are all these handsets failing to startup again after shutting down, in a similar fashion is one thing I can't understand. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] shiva.kakkar11:
Hey Dude, dont worry! Even I dont have a warranty card. All they want is the bill. I purchased it from Spice Mobile and they never stamped the card or anything. Take the original and carbon copy of the bill that's more than enough. When you submit just cross check that your service note mentions that the phone is covered under full warranty.

Did someone try this to get the phone out of APX mode?

I came across this thread later. Had I gone through it before, I would have tried.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] masual:
I'm trying to make that work. I managed to install the APX driver that came with it, but the nvflasher do not flash or do anything. It must be some problem launching the nvflasher from the bat file or something like that. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Sri Ram Bonda:
I went to samsung store and explained him the problem I was facing. He asked me to deposit the phone and collect it tomorrow. I asked him what would be the problem. He replied "sir...it might be software problem. Reinstallation of software would solve your problem"......Any ideas? :S
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
I think they are following their regular fixed procedure in which first they try to reinstall the OS, if it doesn't solve the problem then they try to solve it by replacing the hardware. :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] :
exactly that's what they always do!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Sri Ram Bonda:
I got my phone back. Their regular procedure of re installation of Operation System solved my problem :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Glad that it's up and running ! :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] shiva.kakkar11:
UPDATE 1:

I mailed Samsung and the service centre guys called me with the box and all accessories. Though the service desk lady assured me of a replacement, they made me sign an agreement stating that Samsung would be refunding the amount. I don't know what the end result would be since they have asked for 15 days to process the application.

@Zerocool: Buddy did you get your refund?

Also I think Sri Ram's phone got up and working because it was booting atleast till the Samsung splash screen. Zerocool and mine was totally blank i.e. supposedly in APX mode. Technicians at Sammy know nothing above Software reinstallation. I'll see how this ends because it would decide whether I am going to purchase a Sammy again or not.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] zerocool_rkl:
Not yet but the guys at cc told me that my refund has been approved
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
Today morning when I tried to unlock my phone it was not unlocking and it was switched off, so I thought its battery may be drained and I tried to charge it but nothing was displayed after plugging it also then I’ve removed the battery and placed battery again after some time and tried to switch it on but it was not working, then I’ve removed both the SIM card and battery placed battery after 1 hour and tried to switch it on it and it worked then I’ve placed my SIM card and its working fine then I've checked the battery status still was having 45% so its not because of battery drained out.

Did any one faced the same problem, From morning I am checking it and its working fine should I take it to Samsung Service center or is this because of any app which I have installed recently.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] coolcorner:
Had you guys rooted your phones? Had customer ROM/Kernel's installed? Wonder if the either of these have made the phone die, or wonder if its the hardware batch?!! Hmm?!!!

Also, if you had rooted it and had custom ROM, Samsung guys agreed for the refund??
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Metatrone:
Same happened to mine. Left it in my room and went skiing - fully charged battery no wifi or tethering or 3G turned on. Came back after 3-4 hours and it was dead. SGR was rooted and I had Infected ROM with andrad kernel running. Tried pretty much the same stuff, the phone wouldn't start. So I took it to the service center - they said bootloader was deleted (which sounds weird). Had to pay for the repair but got it back working fine. :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] :
****, "deleted bootloader", seriously what kund of people work there?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] coolcorner:
This http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23321955&postcount=8 didnt work? Did you try before you went to Sammy guys? This method wouldve worked for dead SGR? Hmmm.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Metatrone:
Well hopefully they meant the bootloader got corrupted or something more...reasonable. The 'tech' guy I talked to sounded permanently confused.

Unfortunately I didn't get to try the "revival pack", it was posted a couple of days after I gave up and shipped it off to Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
today also i had the same problem, this time i've found that battery went from 50% or more to 9% as shown in the below Picks :( any one faced this kind of problem.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] longford:
Dead and Alive!

My wife's 2 month old SGR suddenly switched off and would not boot up. She hit panic and went to a service centre and strangely the guys did some stuff and it was up and running in abt 5 odd mins Dunno what they did, but I suspect it is some config setting issue that these phones are snagging. For an established gaming chip manufacturer, I would not think it is anything to do with the chipset. A9DC,Geforce is an awesome speed cocktail and nvidia shld be well versed at this for sure.

She went to this service centre in Vashi, Navi Mumbai

Saw this on every other forum except XDA.I bought one for the Razr for $163.13 after taxes with free 2 day shipping and wanted to share the info. Instructions copy from SD.

Instructions:

DO NOT LOG IN to Verizon account!!

1. Go to Verizon’s site.

2. Click the big “Shop” button up top.

3. When the page loads, scroll down and click “View All” next to Accessories.

4. Click on the “DROID 4.”

5. LapDock 500 should be the first option, simply click “Add to Cart” from that page.

6. Go straight into your cart and you should see it for $149.99 rather than the $249.99.

7. Checkout and enjoy.

I would think the only way to speed it up would be to overclock your phones processor correct? That is what powers the UI.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
With the significant drop of SuperAMOLED quality control or just plain bad luck on my end I've decided to call it quits and look at other screen technologies and suffice to say the rumored Tab 11.6 is peaking my interest and probably that device will come with PLS.

I've had a chance to compare the Tab10.1 and Ipad2 but I really didn't do so extensively, I was comparing the TF201 , Ipad2 and Tab7.7 and after a lot of testing I've concluded that SuperAMOLED only offers better blacks, the rest is just a subjective preference like color saturation, even viewing angles are superior on the TF201 and Ipad2.

My primary usage is video playback then web browsing, Im also particular with white tones across all brightness levels and with my current Tab7.7 the white tones at low brightness are just horrible compared to the TF201, Tab10.1 and Ipad2

Anyone with extended experience on the said devices can share their opinions between the PLS on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 vs the IPS on the Ipad2 or TF201?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
BUMP for my post, how does the Tab 10.1's screen perform in terms of movie viewing?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
Pretty good when the brightness is turned all the way up, This being on Dice Player @ 255/255, Better contrast and color, I think Bravia engine can be added to enhance the colors.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
about 95% of the time I use the device at the bed room, so 0-33% brightness might be up my alley. When you say better contrast and color is that in comparison to the Ipad2 screen ?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightmarebadger:
I watch a lot of series and some movies on my Tab while in bed and imo it's pretty great (especially when they're 720p :) ). It's almost always at night so no problems with the sun shining on the screen though. With the sun shining directly on the screen, I doubt you could really enjoy any movie ...

I have my brightness set somewhere between 50-100/255 on Dice Player, depending on the movie and if I have any lights on in the room.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
Yeah around daytime it's best on 255 but around night time I keep it to 150 or such, any higher at night is like an alien abduction :eek::p
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Hmm on a superamoled screen i keep it at 46 only. But that doesnt really matter as long as the whites in web pages remain white unlile oled.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
I've been wondering the same too, On my desktop it shows XDA is creamish/pink but on the tablet it shows that xda is white o.o
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightmarebadger:
Strange, it shows the same color for me both on computer and on the tablet. I *did* have the "white xda" problem in the past though, both on my desktop, laptop and tablet. Thought it had something to do with a faulty .css or something similar though, haven't seen it in a long while now.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
What I mean is on low brightness levels the white tones on the SuperAMOLED screen becomes either grainy or may turn into yellowish,pinkish or blueish depending on the the screen you've got. Though movie quality is great I also noticed it makes an actual scene darker crushing detail.. Samsung tried to fix this with a different gamma profile on the Galaxy Note but it ends up giving blocky blacks.

I've come across a store demo unit and sadly I cant transfer over my media files, BT just takes to long and the Tab10.1 has no wifi direct.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Is backlight bleeding a common issue on the pls screen?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infuse4g:
PLS is plane line switching where as ips is in plane switching. The only difference between the Displays is the light thourough put is higher in Pls that ips hence the more vibrant colors and brighter backlight

This happened when I used r4-galaxynexus-lte-superboot.zip and I'm guessing it wasnt for my model...

I have the Nexus 4g (Sprint)

Thanks.

This is the Galaxy Nexus forum... and you used a Galaxy Nexus .zip on your NS4G...

You should go post in your NS4G Q&A forum and hope they can help you there, bro. And next time, pay attention to what you're flashing so you don't brick your phone.

If you can get into fastboot you're fine, just follow some steps to restore back to stock and you'll be good.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] succulent:
Check the checksum of the CM7_NT_Alpha12_Public1.zip on your uSD to see if it matches. Many time, the fault lies in corrupted file getting flashed. Cheap uSD reader from China can corrupt your file during transfer. I've had this experience and heard of it. Use a good uSD reader and always check the checksum.

You can shutdown your NT by holding the power button until it shut of. Re-download CM7_NT_Alpha12_Public1.zip and re-flash.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] blackhat007:
Not only CM7 Alpha2, i tried all rom in forum, none of them worked ! :mad::mad:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Know-Fear:
From recovery, do a complete data wipe (-wipe data/factory reset)

then wipe your cache (-wipe cache partition)

Install an md5 verified zip of CM7.

Wipe cache partition again. Reboot

See if that works.

During CM7 testing, the only time we encountered boot loops was from not doing a cache wipe. If you have installed numerous files, chances are stuff is getting corrupted.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] blackhat007:
It still not work , it still bootloop ! :( !

Try the cwm fix by indirect to push cwm image again back in place , you may want to do all the wipes data, cache, advanced> dalvik cache and system partition just in case but DO NOT format any other partition or you'll mess your device even more.

If you don't have ADB set up, go download Indirect's nook&zergy file. It has ADB included in it, and you will need to grab the drivers from that same post. Located here

Then you will need to follow the instructions Here

Once you have working ADB, and you copy the parted file to your sdcard do this: (not listed as such in Celtic's post)

adb devices (make sure you are detected)

adb shell (this will return a # prompt)

cd /sdcard

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 print

answer yes and fix as many times as necessary. Eventually it will return a partition break down.

From there, clear cache again to be safe, then reboot
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Dobabobalina:
I was in the situation where my Nook would boot, showed the "cardboard box", and then blackness. I just took it to the B&N store hoping for a reformat. Instead they gave me a whole new NT. YMMV of course. Good luck!

I do following the instruction but i don't understand how to :

"ADB into your device and run the binary with the following command (you'll need it to be the accesible path or you can just be in the directory where it is)"

I double click on adb.exe but nothing happend !
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Know-Fear:
you must have adb set up and working on your computer. Plug your NT USB cable in to the PC. If you have this:

Open a command window from the folder your adb.exe is located. (assuming you are running windows, linux would have a totally different set up that you would need to research). If in windows, navigate to the folder your adb is in (if you followed the guide in Indirect's thread, it would be in your c:\NTROOT folder. Either way, once you are in that folder, hold down your shift key and right click and select the 'open a command window here option from the menu.

Once you have a command window open, type the following:

adb devices (again, to make sure you are being detected)

adb shell

cd /sdcard

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 print

answer the prompts with yes and fix as directed.

[HOW-TO] Use ADB tool | Android Debug Bridge
