[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mg2195:
I dint get it...why cant you claim warranty? Warranty is for devices that were once working fine but no longer are. Warranty is through samsung themself not your carrier...so it shouldnt matter how you got it you should still have up to a year to file warranty
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] vivek90:
As I said, i bought from "ebay.com" seller, that isnt helping as the seller states, it was working when he sold to me & he doesnt wanna help. Yes you are right but i can only claim warranty if i stay in USA & if i have the receipt, which i dont have. I cant claim warranty locally as its an AT&T phone which is only sold in US.

The way around is to make it work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mg2195:
Dont claim it through att, claim it through SAMSUNG.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] nthknd:
Just to make sure you covered all your bases call Samsung tech support. See if they have any ideas
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] vivek90:
Can i really??

I have to call Samsung USA tech support i guess ?? But will they help i will be calling from INDIA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Febby:
Samsung doesnt want to help if he is outside the usa because it is the usa based device so they will only service it within the usa I believe via UPS mailing since they ship back only to a usa address.

Why don't you open a ebay/paypal claim to get your money back?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] vivek90:
That is wat i was thinkng, samsung will not believe me.

Making a claim will be unfair i think, cuz it worked well for the past week.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Febby:
I don't think it is unfair. You paid for a product that obviously was defective as it died randomly. If I buy a item from a store I expect to work, not die randomly to suck it up. Even though its a used item, you shouldn't deal with issues that perhaps the previous owner did not tell you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] galaxyjeff:
It should still be covered and you can print your Paypal receipt as proof that it was brand new if the title of the auction says brand new. I think it should be covered. You will need to register it with Samsung for warranty service. Toucan do that on their website. You probably won't even have to mention where you bought it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Febby:
He is India and bought a device only covered for warranty within U.S.A terrority by law. They wouldn't be forced to service an out of country warranty. Same deal happened to my friend in europe with a U.S.A tmobile s4. He ended up shipping it to me so I could ship to them.

Then again its soley by Samsungs choice. He could try contacting their international department to see if they'll honor it for him.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] galaxyjeff:
They may service it for him. I'd play with it more. Its unusual for a phone to just die like that but something could have shorted out in it. I don't know how good the electricity in India is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] nthknd:
I say give it a try. Call sammy and also file a claim with PayPal. He should stand by his product.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] vivek90:
Im really disappointed at your suggestions, making a paypal claim is my last resort.

As previously, i bought a captivate which died the same way after a month, of i did claim thru paypal i ended up losing both phone & money.

Yes Samsung may help, international samy will not bother to help & if its USA samy i must have to call from a valid US no. right?

Hello Febby, u gave me a good suggestion, ur frnd sent it to u, but can i as im limited by the person i know in USA.

Frankly, i just wanna try something myself, to make it work & btw electricity is good, but its a little costly where i stay & power cuts are limited.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] pejhod:
My S4 screen cracked, they never asked for a proof of purchase (but then again, they took my $200 to fix it). Maybe look into something like VIAddress, they provide a US address for you to tell companies to ship to and they'll forward it to a big number of countries for some fee.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] vivek90:
OK viaddress are they reliable, how much time do they take. They didnt ask cuz u paid for it, mine is diff then urs, as its totally dead... no response at all. They might ask
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] pejhod:
I've never used VIAddress, but I've sold several thing on eBay to people who used almost identical addresses that went to this freight complex in an pharma/industrial part of our country, New Jersey. One person was Chinese and the other Russian. So I'm guessing they used this or another forwarding service... it must be good if they used it.

True, Samsung might ask you, but I think the warranty will stand by serial number and not owner. I've sold a Galaxy S3 to someone and AT&T at least, assured us that there would be no problems with the other guy making a claim.

hi everyone! i hav been using galaxy note 1 fr about a yr now.earlier on ics i had tsf shell as my launcher n d fone worked pretty smooth even widout

rooting. but since i hav updated to GB d phone is wrkin lyk total garbage. i m using d tw launcher now basically cause i got bored wid tsf shell but d phone just so laggy dat its irritating. even small apps take eternity to open eg camera gallery contacts etc.

the worst is d free ram. even after just restartin i get a ram usage of 600 to 650 mb ram out f 800. i tried to disable most f d samsung useless apps to decrease cached processes but to no avail. m really confused ..pls help me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
Its perfectly normal operation. Remember, the note was designed for gb, so 2 iterations up its a lot more processor and memory intensive and the note just can't handle it.

If you want to, root and freeze unwanted apps or try a cm based or deodexed rom, but the note is passed it's prime.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] platonshead:
Hello,

first... im a noob, and have only a little clue about android systems.... i will try my best

second the problem:

I flashed an old S2 with gingerbread with a lot of firmwares and got nearly evry image to wort without NeatRom -> no respons -> recover with odin...

but the problem is that as i select the camera-app the flash-led is going on, and i cant switch it off. its buring the whole time the camera app is active..

with the flashlight-app i can switch it on and off as i like.

this problem exists in RR_JB_V3.1.3_AOKP_4.2.1_I9100 as in pac_i9100_4.2-milestone.1.release_20130806-205645 and in sentinelrom_v4_80_i9100

does anybody know if this is an ROM fault or is it in the cam app?

yours Platonshead

PS: my actual image is the pac one...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Have you bin formatting before flashes? I have used aokp 4.1.2 "my trusty nandroid" as this is perfect rom and faultless and I have used pac 4.2 and that didnt do this either. What I would do Is format system, data, cache, wipe dalvki and then flash rom and see if this fixes this problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] platonshead:
no i have only made a factory reset, a cache wipe and a dalvki wipe and flashed the roms...

but... today i tried it with formating and got the same problem. (also with pac)

i also tried another firmware: stock pda: I9100XXLPJ with phone: I9100XXLPJ and an unknown CSC whatever that means.....

and there the cam is also showing this strange behaviour.

the funny thing is that i dont think its a hardware problem as i can swich the light on and off as i like per software app.

does anyone know a way to test the hardware-function of the phone just to exclude this source of failure?

thanks sofar

EDIT:

1. my girlfriend just told me that this "feature" was always there and so i think maybe it IS a hardware bug.

2. i just tried to figure out why the app "flashlight" can handle the LED whereas "camera" cant.

i can listen (with a silent room and my ear near the LED) that if i turn on the flashlight, the camera just open up the lens (it just sounds like that) and when i switch it off i hear a similar sound.

-> is the flash somewhat connected to the camera or "exposure" function?

Update 2:

i Tried another camera firmware with *#34971539# (from ocef02 to ocee0? to te??28) but nothing happend. -> also the Version of ROM (GB, ICS) changed nothing...

seems like HARDWARE....

but: I think the flash-LED is mounted on the mainboard. changing the cam-module will not change the LED. right? has anybody solved this type of "damage"?

Hi,

I thought it was time to clear up my mom's phone and install cm 10.1.

I also formatted the internal storage and forgot to backup the photo's and videos...

Does anybody knows a decent restoring program that could fix this problem? I tried all kind of freeware products and even Restorer Ultimate Pro.

They do find a lot of stuff, but it's all worthless, like little logo's, photo's from news apps etc...

Anything that should work would we great!

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andysalter:
So I have just moved from an iPhone 4 to an Xperia Z and I love it! :D

I am new to all this rooting and flashing business, so go easy on me! I am quite tech-savvy so I doubt I will have much problem with any of this, but hey, we all get stumped sometimes.

Now my question is, how does one go about unlocking an Xperia Z on a Mac? I want to know this as I was getting an error when trying with windows that read "<waiting for device>". I tried setting the fastboot.exe to run as admin as well as cmd, but neither solved the problem. After messing around with no success, I decided I would see if I could do it on Mac.

Thus far, I have my Xperia Z rooted (via windows), and have received my unlock key from sony (used above ^ with no success). I have downloaded the android SDK on both windows and mac, downloaded the adb and fastboot binaries for mac, fastboot driver for windows, and have followed various methods all with no success.

What do I need to do, to unlock the bootloader on Mac? Would it be a similar process to this?

Or what are some things I could try to get it working on windows?

Thanks

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sxorpyon:
Hello xdadev!

I was hoping someone may point me in the right direction (I have searched but have not found this particular issue in the forums).

After an 8-10 hour charge using my samsung wall AC adapter (1 amp) I unplug my phone and check email, send a few whatsapp/line messages, browse the internet on chrome. the very FIRST app I use causes huge battery drain. For example if the first thing I do after unplugging the phone is use whatsapp then whatsapp causes 70-80 percent battery drain over the next 15 minutes. As an example this morning I used whatsapp first on my phone, then chrome. Over the next 15 minutes my battery drained from 100 percent to 79 percent (in 15 minutes!). The phone also gets warm during this time. When I check my drainage whatsapp is at the top of the list next to screen and my screen is at the dimmest brightness.

The next part is variable. After about 15-20 minutes of constant use the rate of discharge changes to a slower rate. Easily can tell on better battery stats and the native battery monitor software. Sometimes I can curtail this super rapid discharge by force closing every app i start for the first time after unplugging the phone and restarting that app.

I don't know of any other i747 user who goes from 100 percent to 79 percent in 15 minutes. Would appreciate some insight!

Btw i'm rooted running CM 10.1.2 and here is a graphical representation:

EDIT - Update 8/17/2013 - rebooting into cwm and wiping the cache and dalvik cache appears to have improved the battery situation. Drainage is more reasonable.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sxorpyon:
With the phone idle now for the past hour I have gone from 75 to 55 percent battery. So in the less than two hours my phone has been unplugged it has drained about 50 percent battery. I dont' see a ton of wakelocks either. Now as time has passed you can see the INSANE battery drain when i first unplugged my phone.

Here are some relevant screenshots:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DMF1977:
So what happens if u unplug at 100%, and then just leave the phone alone for a bit? Try greenify from the market, it's free and its awesome!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sxorpyon:
I use greenify, and i agree it's awesome!!! I don't greenify whatsapp however because I wouldn't receive notifications when I get new messages.

If I leave the phone after I unplug it, sometimes it discharges at a slow rate, sometimes at a fast rate. It's tough to predict.

One thing i've noticed is if I charge it by usb port on my computer it seems to hold the charge better and I would never get this kind of spiked discharging.

Maybe it's a hardware issue?

I've had to charge it several times in the car today (and on a long drive as well) ... check out that loss of charge when I woke up today!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DMF1977:

Turn off data if the drain stops you know its an app that's locked into using your data and causing high wake locks. Apps that show low to no data usage when you know you use them usually show up in android is as background for some reason. Ie (YouTube). Really just freeze one app at a time to test them

Take out your battery lay it on its side, if it spins like a top it's bad and needs replacing, seen many different samsung phones do that.
