[Galaxy S III General] Premindia87:
problem lies with initial pieces which were shipped at time of release date. It was not a shipping defect , i didnt find any crack when i got the phone, It didnt come out of the box, This mysterious crack starts to arise after a few weeks or months, You are lucky you didnt get it yet, It doesnt mean that your peice is defect free. It may arise after some months bcos of poor build quality, As said it arises due to heat from inside of your phone (Metal frame is plastic , Im not sure about the new peices , some people say they are of good quality bit thicker than the early ones). But if its the case then samsung has cheated the people who bought it initially. still if you had bought recently and still see a crack (see the MFG date).

FYI , I play and browse daily for atleast 2 to 3 hours. so a mediocre user , If you are a die hard gamer or browse too much you would have cracked it within weeks,, Thats the reason it took me 4 months for the crack to appear. Depends upon the usablilty.

when you get a acknowdgement mail from samsung with the complaint no , Please post it here...I need to collect every compalint no and show them im not the only one who is facing the issue . Request everyone who is facing this issue to do the same.

[Galaxy S III General] Jay Ssj:
i think we all know that samsung india is a money whor. All they want is money and when it comes to repairing the product they run away like donkeys. my earlier phone had a screen problem and it took them 5 days to repair a little problem. my friend's charger takes 10 hours to charge his s3. when he went there they said the problem is in the battery (o relly) and then gav him new battery. he showed them that the problem is in charger by charging his fone with their charger but still they wud say "no, problem is in battery":

srsly samsung india get a life. u either serve us well or we will kick u out

cheap tricks played by samsung india

rather servicing this issue under warranty. they have started to bargain with me. first they said it will cost me around 7200 rs . then I received a call after a week which they said they will be giving 25 percent discount . I didn't aceept the offer started yelling at them. then again today I received a call saying that they will giving around 50 percent discount on it. I rejected the offer since the fault is with their. just for a hairline crack why do I need to pay 3600 Rs . please don't fall for their cheap tricks. I am going to file a online consumer complaint . please support.
[Galaxy S III General] Littlejohno:
I havent heard anything back yet so.until i do i cant say if i will complain or not.
[Galaxy S III General] SirCanealot:
I returned my phone to Vodafone UK, but unfortnately the person I spoke to mis-understood the issue and thought I was telling her the charging port was faulty. When the paperwork came to send it back, I wrote in large letters that the port was fine and it was just the plastic crack that was the problem, but they ignored this and found the charging port faulty and replaced it. Ignored the crack.

So I took it into a Vodafone shop to get it sent BACK to their repair centre and they said the repair centre would say it's psysical damage and would charge me (short argument ensured...). So we'll see what they say in a few days when they get back to me.

I also emailed Samsung and they sent me back the following reply:

"Thank you for contacting Samsung.

I’m sorry you are experiencing issues with your Samsung device's external appearance. I can understand your frustration about this as it has developed a crack.

It is in our interest to attempt to repair a device wherever possible, within the warranty guidelines. Please note that our warranty covers manufacturing defects only. Devices that have physical damage, liquid or moisture damage, or devices that have been tampered with are not covered by our warranty. You will have to pay for any work carried out on your device. Please contact our service centre directly in order to obtain a quote for the repair of your device.

I've sent them another email telling them that it is not a psysical damage issue and is a manufactoring fault. And I've asked them if I should contact their repair centre instead of them and see what they have to say.

Not really impressed so far. Considering how much of a brick the S2 was, the s3 cracked in a few months. I can't remember whether I've had the phone for 6 months of more, so we'll see where this goes.

It does not effect the functionality of the phone so much, but it totally tanks the resell value of the phone. And I am, of course, planning to sell the S3 and get the S4 when it comes out, if Samsung would like some more of my money... :P
[Galaxy S III General] Littlejohno:
Just got my phone back faults repaired but still have a cracked bezel they said it's not a warranty funny how all appear to have dropped / damaged our phone in the same way
[Galaxy S III General] SirCanealot:
I got two phonecalls from a very friendly Vodafone UK engineer today and he basically said he wouldn't be able to repair the phone. He even said that his own GS3 has a crack and he was refused repair too. I sent a first email to Vodafone UK customer care and got this response:

"Thank you for writing to Vodafone customer service.

I understand your concern in regard to the issue with the device (Samsung Galaxy S3).

Further all the phones that we provide are from the manufacturers themselves and Vodafone have no responsibility over the manufacture or the phones performance. The contract that we provide is for the network access and service but not the phone.

Of course we make a phone available and are here to help when things go wrong. We only act as a go between for you and the repair centres for our manufacturers and we also offer manufacturer warranty as we cover your phone for the 12 months duration of your contract with us.

If there is any manufacture fault found then we will repair it for you free of cost within the 12 months period. However, if there is any physical damage or any damage that is deemed as physical damage then you will be charged.

As mentioned earlier your handset found faulty and we will not be able to repair handset without charges.

If you wish, We can arrange a postal repair to be sent at your billing address."

Complete Engrish, nice...

Has anyone else got any more responses from people?

I have problems with my Samsung phones with OS X, that is if they are rooted and Kies is installed. I have a 17" MBP and use an express slot 3/4 card reader to pop my microsd into a sd card and go from there.

I have found that an app called Airdroid (free) allows you to open a web browser and connect to your phone and have full access of it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LLanito:
yeah, thing is, i wanted to use KIES but to be blunt, it is S**T, i've used kies wi-fi and its still slow as hell so im looking for an alternative

i was having issues with the SD card, which ever i used (tried about 4)

I searched online and nothing seemed to work, until i saw one which told me to insert the SD as quick as i could, becuase if stick in the SD slowly it won't read it, ODD as hell.... funnily enough it worked !!

Is there an app out there that we can write/config NFC tgas to launch apps, wifi, Bluetooth etc?

I wouldn't mind getting some and putting them around the house & car!
[Nokia Lumia 920] Goatmaster:
I've used NFC Interactor to write tags, I think it's a dollar or two. Just so you know apparently there is a windows phone limitation where it can't format tags. In my case I had to use a friends android tablet for that. I don't think there is a way to toggle wifi/bluetooth at the moment and it might not be possible with the SDK. But you can definitely start apps or phone settings if you find the GUID for it.

I was running Foxhound 1.3 but wanted to return my phone back to stock

I have since tried a few different roms (via odin and CWM) and when they boot the touchscreen is knackered

I have tried reflashing the kernal back to siyrah then installing foxhound again but that didnt work (touch screen seemed not to function in the aroma install either)

The phone has had no drops/damage and was working fine before i started playing with it (always the way) so i dont think it could be a hardware problem (im hoping not anyway)

Battery pulling and resetting to factory are not working either....is there anything else i can try

Try restoring a Nandroid backup from before you flashed your first custom ROM/kernel, failing that also restore the efs partition from your original backup.

If you do the above then you are back to how your phone was out of the box, if the screen still doesn't work then it looks like hardware.

I would like to root my TF101, buld #9.2.127. I have a unique and unfortunate set of circumstances that is making it difficult for me to do so. Here is my situation:

1. I am have a Dell M1530 with Windows Vista. Most of the rooting methods I researched involve starting with a windows-based computer. Unfortunately, windows has corrupted my machine to the point that the USB ports no longer function.

2. So I decided to install Ubuntu 12.04 on the same machine. Linux has done wonders for my computer, including allowing me to use my USB ports again! However, when I attempt to connect my TF101 via the USB port, the computer will not recognize the device.

This leads me to my question. Are there currently any methods to "self root", i.e. without the use of a PC, the TF101? I previously did some research and know that for a time Razorclaw did the job. However, Razorclaw only seemed to work on builds 8.x. I did not work for me when I tried it recently.

Thank you in advance for any assistance or advice you can provide.

Check out my PERI tool (link in sig), it runs via windows, but what you can do is manually download files to your tf via web and run the commands using terminal emulator instead of running the .bat file of PERI.

It will take a bit of time and examining of the .bat code but it is probably the easiest option with no USB ports.

Unless you could find another Widoze computer to just run it normally on :P

Not all about hardware(it might due to slow shutter but it's not limited because of hardware).. in fact HDR is a software it is really simple technique. Google think HDR is so advanced photo taking technique only N4 with quad core can take it but in reality any camera can take HDR even film camera
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
So there's no mod to get HDR?

Could CM Mod it and we'd get it?

I know there's an app on the play store that mimics the AOSP Camera app perfectly so could that be our only future solution for HDR since it will copy it?

So far it's only at 4.1.2. The developer got to update his UI for 4.2.

Well, just use a proper camera to take hdr photos..

Try to get your hands on a factory cable and boot into bootloader mode. Then go on over to Hashcode's 2nd-Boootloader thread in the 7" Android Dev forum.
