[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mcapozzi:
Hopefully this will help you in the future.

You may be SOL this time. Next time you ship anything to anyone for repair, take extensive photographs of the items before shipment. I had a rep from Seagate try to tell me that a drive I pulled from a server for RMA replacement was void because "all of the screws" were missing. This was of course complete BS, and when I sent them the photos of the drive before I shipped it and when they sent it back unrepaired, they changed their tune. They sent me a prepaid box to ship the drive back to them and replaced it without further question.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone dropped your phone or damaged it in shipping and now they are passing the costs onto you. Ask for photos of the alleged "LCD damage".

Good luck,

Mike
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Saiyan26:
Thanks, I actually did take photos of the screen. How would I request them to take photos? I have no contact info for this "repair center". They never contacted me, if I didn't call the call center I wouldn't have even known where my phone was. I think my biggest problem with this is that I've been given zero information about my phone and I just have to take this outsourced rep's word that I broke my phone and I need to pay them.

The phone was basically new. Samsung told me the warranty started the month I got it. It wasn't registered to anyone, I didn't even register it until I first called.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jg758p:
From my experience from working for customer care for the mobile industry; dont ever count on warranty to fix your issue. Insurance works better, but they can screw you over with that as well. Even if its not damaged...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rotule:
So basicly that means there is no warranty...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] onthezone:
I have called samsung in the past also and had issues with there customer service for mobile devices over the stupied usb plug that just pops out, that i just ended up throwing away and buying my own. Sorry to hear about your issues but I would request if they could just ship the phone back to you and you'll fix your self because all there going to do is fix the screen and not do anything with the overheating.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Regardless of the outcome. ..the story holds true. ..

Samsung gets bad or broken devices pushed to them every second of every day. ..

These devices are turned in under warranty and are clearly "NOT" a warranty issue. ..

Then people get mad for having to pay in getting the device fixed..

Now don't get me wrong. ..I'm no sammy fanboy....and absolutely sympathize with your situation. ..but honestly. ..

Those techs know what to look for when finding damaged device's. ..

And when they put the device through it's paces on the test bench. ..the truth pops up...

Battery was clearly not the issue. ..and the display was...

And it's very likely that the person selling the phone on ebay knew it too...

You are a victim of a shady deal. ..

And yes. ..you have an option. ..sadly it's $191 and change to exercise it...

Not your fault. ..and not Samsung either. ..

The rip off that sold you a bad device is to blame. ..and owes you about $200 as I see it. ..

Buyer beware. ...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nthknd:
Ok let try some productive help. How long have you had the phone? Ebay covers the buyer for a period of time. Read there terms and conditions. So does paypal. Contact the seller dependi g on how long you had your phone. I sell used phones on ebay and I back my stuff I sell. So try those avenues of help. At the very least it doesnt hurt to try. Also you can pay the 191 then sell it online as refurbished or just sell it online for parts and buy a different phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Saiyan26:
Thanks for the replies. I think I'll just call and have it sent back to me. Hopefully it doesn't comeback with more damage...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Saiyan26:
I bought in January. I just checked my eBay account, and surprise surprise now he's "No longer a registered user".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Saiyan26:
Just an update:

I called my bank and I was told I could "possibly" be refunded due to the issue. I'm not really counting on it though. I also contacted Samsung again and was connected to a nice rep. He decided to escalate my issue to "advance technical support". The ATS rep said any LCD damage still voids the warranty, but because of the bad info I was originally given and the "unacceptable" lack of updates he could reduce the fee. He said he could drop it to $70, expedite the service, and also include a motherboard, processor, and battery replacement for free. It sounds like a good offer, but I'm wondering if they'd just say they replaced the parts, but really never touched them...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sling:
Thats a good deal take Samsung up on offer fast
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Knight-Rider:
+1 take them on their offer. Oh ya another thing check your paypal account for the address of the filthy scum who sold you the phone, take matters into your own hands, I would ;) HUNT him DOWN!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Saiyan26:
ARGH!!!! :mad:

I just called Samsung again and asked to speak to ATS so I can pay for the repair. I told the woman the issue and she read all the notes from the beginning. Now she is telling me this is definitely a warranty issue regardless of LCD damage. She said when phones arrive first they take them apart before they do any investigations into the problems. Apparently it was written off as "out of warranty" because of the LCD damage without even looking for the cause. She told me not pay for repairs and that she added extra notes to escalate this to the warranty department. Unfortunately it was closed, so she told me to call back on Monday and they will transfer me there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LittleRedDot:
Good lord sammy sucks. How is it that companies can achieve these marvelous pieces of engineering every couple of years yet they can't give you the same story when you call them on the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
The plot thickens....

Companies get so big they become ineffective...at doing anything well...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Saiyan26:
So I called today and explained again what happened. This time I was told there is no warranty department and that ATS is capable of solving my problem. He told me because I sent it in expecting it to be a free repair, I was never given any status updates, I was given misinformation several times, and this has been such a long drawn out ordeal, he waived the $70. So now they're expediting the repair, replacing the screen, motherboard, processor and battery free of charge. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that this will be the end of it. I'll update once my phone is back in my hands.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidbabyxda:
I wouldn't count on it. They prolly just want you off the phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangercaptain:
And when it comes back repaired you will have a warranty on their work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Knight-Rider:
Updates???????
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Justinfedor:
Try emailing president@sta.samsung.com. that is the email i got for prez of samsung after they tried charging me for fixing the bezel on my note 1 when it cracked from faulty craftsman ship. They told me it would cost 200 to fix all and i flipped. Asked for a manager and kept escalating until i got that email. Emailed them and explained all the bs i went thru and i got it fixed free of charge. I sent it to a few others with the same issue and samsung fixed theirs for free so give it a shot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Saiyan26:
Phone arrived. Everything was replaced except the battery. I called to see why the battery wasn't replaced and she told me the notes never listed a replacement battery. Now I'm told I'll have to send in the battery again, wait to 2 days for shipping, wait 7 business days to replace it, then 2 more days for it to be shipped back...

Also, when my phone arrived, there was damage around the screen. Between where the screen and metal meet, it looks like a tool was used to pry the metal back. Those marks are all around the phone now. When I told her, she said the repair center always sends the phone back in the same condition it was received. I told her I have pictures that prove it wasn't sent like that.

So she said then it must have been UPS' fault and was damaged during shipping. I told her that saying it was UPS' fault is absurd. The phone arrived super protected both ways, and the damage is precise like a tool was used, not blunt force. She then said she filed a shipping damage claim, and if it is decided it is UPS' fault it will be repaired for free... I asked what if it's decided that it wasn't UPS' fault? Then I'LL have to pay for it...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Saiyan26:
Called again, this time I was told that it was the repair center's fault and it can be fixed free of charge. I was also told that the battery should have been replaced. He also increased the shipping speed to 5 days max (1 day to, 3 days fixing, 1 day back). I don't have confidence in Samsung anymore; but I know that seeing that damage everyday, and knowing what caused it will always irk me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Saiyan26:
Thanks, that probably would've saved me a lot of my headache earlier. If the phone comes back screwed up again, I'll resort to that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Saiyan26:
My phone is back and everything is replaced. Moral of the story: never take a CS rep's word as law, because there's always something they can do for you.

I've been trying to email my resume to myself so I have it on my phone\tablet. When I try to open it, it says the file is corrupted. This happens on my phone and tablet. It's happened on any Rom that I've tried. And, I've also tried different word viewing apps.

Anybody have any ideas? Could it be something with saving it through email?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blabbersoft:
What are you using to edit/create your resume? I use google drive/docs as well as Kingsoft office and have no issues. Perhaps it is worth trying with Kingsoft?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VanillaG0rilla:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blabbersoft:
What are you using on your phone/tablet to view it? Are you mailing it through Gmail? If so, you could just upload it through docs/drive and try viewing it that way.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Teleblaster:
I'm on a SCH-I535, with stock ROM (4.1.1), rooted and running CWM Premium and TWRP. I installed TWRP, second, on the recommendation of someone and it appears to be the default recovery. I have also installed mobil ODIN. Other utilities on my phone include: Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, Goo Manager, Titanium Backup Pro, VZW GS3 EZ Unlock, EZ Recovery, Superuser Elite, SuperUser SU.

I know some of these are duplicative, but as a N00B I just follow the directions and use whatever application I'm directed to use.

Does having apps like this cause conflict problems? Should I generally uninstall or freeze those utilities that are duplicative and in disuse?

Thanks,

Michael
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Do you mean rom manager premium? CWM is only the recovery so this is a little confusing to read. If you mean rom manager, GooManager is probably better for you since many roms are easily downloadable from there if you so choose.

For me, I don't use Vodoo or Mobile Odin, although I do need to purchase Mobile Odin to support Chainfire since his work has helped me. Voodoo may come in hand for you if you want to keep root after future OTAs. GooManager and Titanium are indispensable, every new rooted user should definitely use TB. EZ Unlock and EZ Recovery are useless once you're unlocked and rooted so uninstall those.

You need to choose a SU app though. Either SU Elite or SuperSU, can't have both. Figure out which one you like best and make sure it has root BEFORE uninstalling the other.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Teleblaster:
Thanks for the thorough response. It'll help me get my head wrapped around this.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcorsai:
A friend and I just Android'ed our Touchpad's to use in our robotics experiments.

Got the OTG cables and telemetry radios only to find that the FTDI and USBSerial drivers don't appear to be in the CM10 kernel ( although it has brought new life to my touchpad JCSullins CM10 is an incredibly stable and useful hardly switch to web OS anymore )

Found some instructions - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1212521

But being a total nob at Android development ( just built an Archlinux virtualbox development image but at a loss of where in git to find the 2.6.35-tenderloin kernel etc to build the ko's, i'll keep on but it's going to take me some time to get up to speed ) was hoping someone has a build environment and able to compile these two ko's, it would sure be of help to the robotics crowd.

Thanks for any help or directions and to JCSullins, RolandDeschain79, and all the other developers for all their efforts.

Update 07/01/13 , Well I guess I still have a couple of neurons to rub together but it seems I was able to cobble a working ftdi_sio.ko for Jcsullins CM10 Unofficial Builds [04/18] ( usbserial not needed & possibly all the cm10 tenderloin kernels if it works the way i 'sume ( I keep the a' to myself! ) ) I still have to do more tests but it does pop up a request for an application once plugged in with a powered OTG cable, and Tau Labs appears to be trying to communicate with the transceiver. I'll try to sort out what I did and post it since it did require a bit of detective work to figure it all out, and string pieces together, I know I'm guilty of it too but sometimes the simplest of things are the hardest to figure out if you are not in the know.

Tested OK on Jcsullins CM10 Unofficial Builds [04/18] and TauLabs Ground Control Station and the 3DR radio ( should work with DroidPlanner, OpenPilot, etc ).

Standard Disclaimer, Not responsible for any damages, bricked devices etc. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

http://goo.gl/UD43U

I loaded it from /storage/sdcard0/Download

terminal commands used were:

$ su

# cd /storage/sdcard0/Download

# insmod ftdi_sio.ko

PS : If anyone can direct me in how to set the default application that pop up, when the ftdi is plugged in, so It shows Tau Labs ( or other ), pop up now asks only for USB Serial monitor and DroidPlanner !.

I'd be more inclined to try another PC. Maybe some driver you installed is causing issues. When you mount your phone, go into your device manager and try deleting any phone devices or storage that appear, then reconnect and maybe it will install the correct driver.

so iv'e been using cm for over a year now -

i've moved around from 10.0 to various 10.1 nighties. but for the last 6 months i've been using the rc's - i went from 10.1 nightly all the way thru rc 1-5

up until the rc's started coming out i never used the built in downloader/installer - but i've used it since rc1 came out and had no issues

i just used it do dl/install the new stable 10.1 and i'm having some really strange battery issues -

let's say my phone is at 20%

i plug it in and it says charging

i go to bed

i wake up 6-7 hrs later and it still says 20% when i first turn it on

then i unlock, and start looking at things - all of the sudden it flashes up to 100%

then within a few minutes it flashes right back down to 20% - even the battery life record shows it under settings?? wtf

it's very strange

i realize the first suggestions will be to wipe clean, cache, dalvic etc and reinstall but i thought this was supposed to be a stable build??

anyone else seeing anything like this??
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Stable build or not, a clean install is always recommended, even needed if you want your build to actually be ''stable'' ;)
