[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] pvc_:
Yesterday morning my phone of the past 14 months decided to drop dead for no good reason. Called Samsung, and they told me I either have to send them the phone for repairs (that could take 2-4 weeks) without a loaner or I could take it to one of their stores. Their closest store to me is their location close to downtown LA about 15-20 miles away from me. Before leaving, I tried to call them in excess of 20 times, and they never picked up. Took a chance and drove there in the middle of rush hour traffic on Friday night to be confronted by absolute buffoons.

They said it's either the battery or the motherboard. Fixing the motherboard isn't worth it, but I could replace the battery for $45 and that may or may not fix the problem. Took a chance and went ahead with battery replacement because based on their description, this was likely a battery issue. My gamble - my loss.

Did I get a call\email\holla\anything?? from them once they found out the motherboard was dead? Nope. Did they ever answer their phone? Nope. Drove back there today in the middle of a very busy and exhausting day just to find out those losers couldn't fix the phone.

The moral of the story is this.... you as a customer mean absolutely nothing to Samsung. Zero customer service.

They leave their phones off the hook just because those lazy bastards simply don't give a **** about you, your time, your inconvenience, but they have the audacity to charge you for paperweight.

A company that has a problem with combustible phones, couldn't do any better with customer service!??? maybe? Why would I continue to bash apple and iphone when they have stores nearby, offer loaners, better product, and better customer service? Why would I buy another product from a company that doesn't stand behind its products and treats its customers like ****. Have had S1, S3, S5, and S7E....No more Samsung for me!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] digitall1982:
wait, don't you got 2 year warranty like everyone? so you don't give a sh** about battery fault or motherboard fault or anything else, just take it to them, and get repaired, no questions what is dead, you don't care..

and never ever heard of that kind of repair shop where you being asked what to replace.. wtf.. that is their job to find out what is wrong, fix it, and test it..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TheIgster:
Yup, it's kind of hard to keep slamming Apple when they stand behind their phones, repair them for you and update them the same day the update is available. No waiting 180 days for an update to the next version of the OS and no waiting for security updates that may or may not ever come. I've loved Android and I have really liked many of Samsung's phones in particular, but I think my Android and Samsung days are getting close to being done. There is no rhyme or reason as to why the phones do what they do sometimes, no rhyme or reason as to how badly the battery deteriorates over very little time and no reason why most of these Android vendors simply turn their backs on a flagship phone once it is released because the next latest and greatest thing has arrived. I never thought I would say this, but I think I'm on my way to iPhone Land after my contract with this S7 Edge is up on my carrier.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] pvc_:
Samsung has a 1 year warranty, and this was their official repair shop (see if you can call them):

3150 Wilshire Blvd. Suite 206, Los Angeles, CA 90010-1305

Phone: 213-637-0191
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] pvc_:
They used to be different than apple. SD cards, replaceable batteries, easier maintenance, unlocked boot-loaders, etc. What's the appeal now? They do the same shady things apple does except that they don't have the backbone of Apple's customer service. After all the note7 disasters, you'd think they'd learn their lessons...nope. They charge top dollar for devices that simply lack quality.

I'm shopping around for a new phone right now, and it's tough switching to iOS. I've despised iOS for a long time, but I might have to get it over with.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] :
aha, in US they got only 1 y warranty.. shame..

here in europe 2 year warranty is for all, samsung, lg, sony, etc, etc, except crApple off course.. only 1 y for them..

and that is totally shame for any official repair shop! doesn't matter is it samsung or some other brand...

repair shop must do their job, not offer what to repair.. it's just stupid, funny, insane, and thanks god not possible in europe..

in here customers have more rights i think... and repair shops (of any brand) just do their job
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mightywhites29111971:
If you despise IOS why don't you get a Pixel or wait for the new one? Instant updates and I assume better customer service than Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] chanchan05:
The problem is Samsung is sourcing a local company for the "privelage" of them being their official stores/service centers. In the UK I think it's CPW. In my country it's MemoXpress. All Samsung stores are run by said company for that country. They aren't Samsung at all. Same goes actually for Apple in my country. There is no Apple Care here, just some chain of stores called PowerMac who has a deal with Apple to be their local tie-up company.

So basically, whatever Android brand you go to in the US, with the exception of Pixels perhaps, that's what you'll get too. You can file complaints against Samsung though. I remember a case where CPW was unwilling to honor a warranty, the guy contacted Samsung directly who then told CPW to honor the warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dave7802:
Meh while i feel your frustration it happens everywhere with every product.

Not just Samsung, Apple too, any product you find.

Some times you get stores that pride them-self, managers that give a ****, and other times you don't. Its luck and area and just a draw of bad luck if it doesn't go your way.

Focus your anger on making an official complaint to HQ, as other have stated you have gone into a repair shop, They cannot quote you to fix something they have no idea about.

The device has to be diagnosed then quoted and given the choice to repair if you are liable to pay.

This is not just the practise in mobile phones, any repair job goes down this route.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jayayuyang:
yes, you are right. Samsung has a "contractor" for their aftersales support, or official store in almost every country. Say for me here in Bahrain, Bin Hindi, which is holding the sales and servicing of all Samsung's, they really have a superb service. My wife had splashed her S6 before and Bin Hindi repaired it at no cost and efficiently. Maybe you can contact the "main" Samsung directly and file a complaint so they will take action for the erring "contractor" as it is surely this kind of company affiliated with Samsung will ruin its reputation.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] arkha:
In Europe (at least in Portugal), Apple only gives 1year warranty. BUT the store has to give 2years. So, Apple gives 1Year, the Store gives another year (at their expenses).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestX00320:
How can so many people defend Apple, when they take everything from you? Hmmm, they charged the highest price possible for repairs or hardware, and do it at their own shop by the hour too. Their products are never DIY like Android phones. You really play around with an Iphone and they complain about it. You are forced to take your Iphone to a shop to fix. So do not twist things around and try to persuade others to switch. So sick of the Apple fans trying to get us Android users to switch or PC users to switch. There are problems with Apple products just as much or the same as other products. The only reason Apple support is better because they enjoy taking more money and getting it easier. If vampires are real, it is Apple.

If you ever look at Best Buy website for unlocked phones. There are so many, many more Iphones listed as already used and refurbished than any other phone for sale. That does not mean Apple is better, it means more people are not enjoying the phone and taking it back, which to me is bad, not good.

[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] ultramag69:
I don't know if you can get to what's known as EDL mode on the Axon 7 but it's worth a try, Hold both volume buttons in and plug into usb, you'll need the Quallcom usb drivers installed on your PC.

If after plugging in the phone and holding in both volume buttons, you can let go after plugging in, you go to My computer and right click thewn go to manage, device manager and check ports. If you have got into EDL mode then you'll see a quallcom usb device 9008 displayed ( vsomething close, can't quite remember).

You may be able to use fastboot commands from there but with the Axon 7 I used miflash to install the stock rom.

Not sure if this may work or not but may be worth a try...
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] kvip60:
The phone is in edl mode but I can't find the raw firmware to flash it I need the firehouse rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml but I can't find them anywhere
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] ultramag69:
Can the phone be detected in ADB or fastboot?

You need to download ADB and install, open a cmd window from the ADB folder and type "ADB devices" It will show your serial number if it is there.

Or you can try "fastboot devices", again showing your serial number if it is detected.

I haven't had to do this as yet, luckily, but you should be able to flash the rom from fastboot or ADB (you will need to search for how).

Hope this points you in the right direction...
