[Galaxy Note 4 General] zurkx:
rubbish. its a phone not a piece of jewellery. i can understand if you exchange it for a dead GPS chip or something. the phone is going to end up scratched in regular use anyway. and it costs a chunk of money for samsung to refund him which is going to be added on to the next device which you will be paying for if you intend to buy from samsung again. thats how a phone made of $280 worth of parts ends up costing $900.

apple does that much more than samsung because apple customers expect it and its part of their brand. thats why iphones are built for $150 and sell for $900. youre getting much more value from samsung but if everyone starts doing it the next note 4 is going to go for $1200.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shinral:
are you serious? If I want a scratched device I will go for an used one and spend 350€ not 600€, my money are perfect not scratched. I don't care if this will cost to samsung, the device must be perfect or replaced for free.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MyPeople:
I agree with you.

I don't know why some people pay 600 euros for an scratched phone if they could get it for 350, lol.

If I pay for a brand new phone I want it to be brand new not new but scratched. If my note 4 had scratches out of the box I would have returned it immediately.

If users are so tolerant with manufacture defects and bad customer service habits then I'm not surprised to se that the manufacturer doesn't care.

as an example taken to the extrme: if sell **** for breakfast and people buy it then I'll keep selling it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] arjun90:
I can't tolerate manufacturer defects either. And as someone else already mentioned, if the defect is clearly visible to the naked eye, you should replace the device at one. If the quality control issue, then there is nothing that Samsung can do from their end unless everyone steps in writes to Samsung through Twitter or some other form of documentation / social media.

People have spent their hard-earned money for a device which only costs roughly $280 to assemble (including parts and labor and logistical handling and taxes and other fees and minimum commission).

In this day in age, many phone buyers own a new flagship device for up to a year if not for only a few months, then move onto something newer (not necessarily better). If Samsung is assuming all of their customers are going to buy in this matter, they're wrong.

Samsung has to go a long way before getting the same amount of respect and loyalty as Apple. I just can't stand iOS.

Because's OP's picture of the scratch is so clear and visible (while he's unboxing? Still need link to video, compress and upload OP), it is his right by LAW, to get a replacement or refund.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shinral:
I've been contacted by samsung exclusive on my phone, they have no plans to offer free support, they say to contact the seller or a city point for repair. at this point I have no hopes of having a free repair, but the only solution is to look for a lawyer and get a refund from the dishonest seller. honestly not worth a lot for a small scratch, but this shows how much respect has samsung for its customers.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] andrew.mackew:
Mine too.. no scratches at all.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] winol:
I am sorry for you, but, first, I always buy from my carrier, so, when opening the box at the store, I can check the device, and reject it if something is wrong, buying online is risky, I only buy online things that are not important, second, many people claimed and asked for metal frames, so, scratches are unavoidable, the iphones 5, get scratchs, and nobody says they are crappy built, so think more carefully before buying

I see body defect since many past model by samsung.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] godquality01:
Why not return the phone and save yourself all the hassle of going through a repair. How's the return policy in your country. Over here in Germany you can return a product within 14 days after purchase without any reason.

That being said, I don't think a little scratch is a deal breaker for me.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] andythilo:
It's not a scratch, it's a dent. Once it's in a case it would not be seen. I think you either need to fight on or accept it and come to terms that part of the fault is your overactive OCD. Either way this forum isn't the best place to try and gain sympathy lol. Look at the screen scratch thread for evidence of that :D
[Galaxy Note 4 General] arjun90:
Sorry OP, I can't see it the defect clearly on the video you uploaded. Samsung has their own lawyers as well, so you might want to give steer away, perhaps resell the device, at least the loss won't be drastic.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MyPeople:
I think he should try. Even if Samsung win an hypohetical battle in the court I'm sure they don't want the bad publicity they could have if this story goes around some popular blogs and forums. It's easier for Samsung to give him a new device than win at the court but having many people knowing about this store.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
Mine has something like this too. But it happened after i hit the phone to wall accidently. If you wont gonna use case like me you ll see this thing today or later eventually
[Galaxy Note 4 General] THS1989:
You probably droped it or dinged it against something. We won't know the truth because.....internet.

The chrome scratches up easily inside cases due to dirt / sand particles.

Try to get a refund / exchange from where you bought it. If that doesn't work try samsung support but they probably won't help.

If all that fails, you are out of luck. Suck it up and put it inside a case. You will never see that scratch then.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shinral:
no guys I never drop the phone, it comes already scratched only in that point but the video quality is bad on youtube, anyway paypal today decided in my favor and I have to ship the phone at my expense to the seller for a refund, better than nothing.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] arjun90:
Thank goodness for Paypal Buyer Protection. :good:

Respond to '4' other threads, then respond to this thread. How simple is that? ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] filthydani112:
Its just inconvenient, i dont know whats the reason behind this
[Galaxy Note 4 General] arjun90:
I think XDA does this to prevent spam and discourage trolling. :p

You can input your experience and respond to a couple other threads regarding the Note 4. You should be fine after that. Looking forward to your pictures. XDA members might as well collaborate and create some sought of documentation to present Samsung and see what can be done.

:eek::eek::eek:HOLY MACRO, did that thing get hit by a car? Is that even a Note 4? How did that happen? Did you attempt to fit it into some case? :eek:

The paint is literally chipped off in those pictures, no chrome finish what so ever, wow.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zurkx:
i think thats a fake note 4. it uses paint on top of plastic instead of actual metal. my 910Fake has started to look something like that.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] filthydani112:

pretty sure the paint isnt that bad with normal use.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] filthydani112:
Well it has fallen sometimes on its face i think that's what scratches it

My phone is dropping cellular signal without warning. Cycling airplane mode or cellular network mode does not fix it. Only rebooting the phone has succeeded in getting signal back. This problem started last night. Since then, I have experienced it three times.

Further info:

I've had the phone for a little over a year. I did a factory reset when I installed L. I am running stock.

Any idea what's wrong and how to fix it?

Mine does it all the time on lollipop. I moved to a different state a few months back, where I was living in florida I didnt have the issue but when I moved across the country it started for me. I went to att after troubleshooting all I could and they informed me that they dont have a reliable lte network here...it exists but its weak and slow. So I set my cellular preference setting to 3g and since then it rarely disconnects or drops signal. When I go to an area that lte is good I switch it to lte and it holds fine till I get back home.

i have asus fonepad 7 2014 aka fe170cg aka k012

im new to android im ex ios ...... root is same as jailbreak ?

and what benefits of rooting ??

my device is rootable ?

if i root it can make my tab out of warranty ??

:confused::confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Rooting is similar to Jailbreaking but not exactly the same, I would recommend taking a look at this article on the benefits of rooting and what rooting is all about. All Android devices are rootable some are easier to root then others with a variety of factors contributing to this such as firmware version, locked vs. unlocked bootloader (Separate from rooting but having an unlocked bootloader makes it easier to design root exploits and employ certain rooting methods), and whatever other OEM specific security measures have been put in place. I would recommend taking a look at towelroot to root your device. As far as voiding your warranty technically rooting does void your warranty, though un-rooting and restoring your device to original (Or as close to original condition as possible) will make it difficult for the manufacturer to ever tell you rooted your device. Let me know if you still have questions I'll be happy to help you out.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
With rooting you are always taking a risk, however that risk is usually quite minimal nowadays with most of the procedures used. That being said whatever rooting procedure or app you use make sure you read and re-read (And re-read a third time) the instructions about it's proper use.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mezoxxx:

but whenever i reboot my device this 2 notifications appear " asus demo offline & updating content" i have to close wifi and open it again to make it gone that is normal ???
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Your device is now rooted, which Superuser application do you have installed? I am semi familiar with ASUS devices, regarding the problem with the 2 notifications did this problem occur before you rooted the device?

Hi, after speaking to Midget_1990, I have patched the RUU for the Universal to allow flashing with any CID on your phone, this is the official Universal RUU (with a slight GUI mod by someone Midget_1990 mentioned)

so have at it... enjoy.

thanks, was just about to upload it ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] allway:
thanks,

just downloaded and have a try
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Olipro:
it does work... just has the minor caveat that it'll try to flash a Universal when it's not actually plugged in... so try not to be a complete plank with it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] allway:
i have flashed my universal with the new RUU.

It works fine.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Skwyk:
Olipro

Is it possible that you will make a HardSPL for Universal?

We still have no way to recover bricked radio...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Midget_1990:
we were discussing that earlier. the nogsm shows when the radio bootloader is not written to the device properly for whatever reason. its still early days but it may be possible to create a new radio bootloader that cant be overwritten so that problem wont occur. however it wont fix thoses who allready ahve the problem.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Olipro:
ok, if you are flashing a radio, and you brick your radio, but not the radio bootloader, then you should be able to recover by reflashing.

if you brick the Radio bootloader, then unfortunately, there is no way for you to recover from this; possibly the only way of recovery is directly accessing the radio chip pins via whatever interface it is... perhaps i2c? and flashing on a radio BL again through a separate interface... meaning you then need a radio bootloader binary in the correct format.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] pof:
Not in 100% of the cases... there are some situations where the radio bootloader is intact, but the radio is screwed, this causes all bootloader commands that require radio seclevel to be queried to hang the device (like 'task 32' or 'info 2'), thus not being able to flash it with the usual RUUs.

If this happens, it can easily be fixed with hermflasher by flashing the raw radio without prior authenticating to bootloader.

Plug into computer and use adb and/fastboot to flash the firmware. There might be a toolkit in the original moto x forum to help do this.

You could always mount the system partition with twrp and edit the build.prop to put it back to its original state. It is also possible you need to fix the permissions on the build.prop file.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malowz:
i will look into twrp as i'm not familiar with it. i also thought about the file permissions may be the problem cause i did not edit the file, i modified on the PC and replaced the file on phone. maybe this was the cause? cause i installed a lot of apps and Xposed stuff before that reset, so im not sure if exactly that was the problem. but as i didn't know how to edit the permissions on the file with the phone in that situation, i didn't even consider possible to fix it.

but i flashed with the same ROM and the phone is now fully working (at least this i could do miself :D )

A few days ago I flashed Gohma rom and smart me, pressed reset device at the settings. after that there was bootloop. I tried to flash stock image through fastboot, it flashed succesfully but now I cannot get out of that bootloader screen. I have tried every stock images but no luck... Whenever I power on the device it vibrates three times immediately and boots to bootloader.

So, do you have any advice here? :)

In the gohma ROM zip, there's a return to stock script. Try to remove the two adb commands from that script and run it to flash your watch.
