[Samsung Gear S3] gettinwicked:
I never, ever never, never ever want to deal with Samsung support again... I will not be buying another Samsung anything moving forward. Jesus H Christ man. It's seriously like they are told to not do their jobs, to make things as inconvenient as possible for the customer, and to make sure everyone regrets buying from them. Seriously. I've now talked to people from the overseas call center, US call center, managers, managers managers, and not one seems to do their jobs...

The latest on my watch... It's still having problems. Soooo, I called them again, and they said I would have to send the watch in again for evaluation instead of getting a replacement, which apparently they are willing to do after two repairs. But, only because it was sent in twice for repair within 30 days, that only counts as one repair. You can't make this sheet up... So, I thought since the watch hasn't overheated OFF of the charger since it was sent back the second time, but it still was on the charger, as well as not fully charging, MAYBE the charger is defective. Sooo, I suggested that they send me a new one so I can try that. They save money, I don't have to send in my watch again, everyone is happy (ish). That was two weeks ago. Still no charger. Called last week, evidently the first person I spoke with closed the case without sending anything. New person opens a new case. Fast forward to today. Still no charger, no tracking number, nada. Call back, they want me to send my charger in first for evaluation before they will send me a replacement. Seriously. Again, you can't make this sheet up. A charger. They want to evaluate a charger. I lost it. They escalated it and got me a manager in the states and I lost it again. Dealing with them has been nothing short of a nightmare. All for a $350 watch that I've had for less than 8 months. I said I want a tracking number today, or I want my money back. Supposedly, it will be sent out today. Right, I'll hold my breath for that. At this point, I really do just want my money back. This things sucks. The last 2-3 months it hasn't worked right, they can't seem to fix it, they won't replace it. Seriously, screw this thing. I've never had to deal with such BS ever in my life. Especially not for something I paid a LOT of money for. Grr... So done.
[Samsung Gear S3] Sparkz914:
I called today to get an update with the case manager I last talked to. No answer at her extension, left a voicemail and got no callback. Will try again later today.
[Samsung Gear S3] dcAndroidFan:
Check arrived

Refund check arrived on Friday, March 2. Watch originally sent in for warranty service on January 10(ish), so almost two months total turnaround time. Unacceptable for a $350 product, in my opinion -- but my opinion's also irrelevant to what actually happens.
[Samsung Gear S3] rammitt:
I guess it really must depend on from WHERE you are sending back your watch. I am in the UK, my watch stuck in an upgrade loop trying to install Tizen 3.0.0.1. I called Samsung.... they sent a courier (UPS) to my house the next day...provided all the packaging, and gave me a receipt for my watch. 4 Days later there was a knock at the door, and my watch was back. On close inspection, everything apart from my melanese loop strap had been replaced.....a completely new watch. Respect to you Samsung.....not what I expected. Watch has been absolutely fine since :)
[Samsung Gear S3] Sparkz914:
Got an email today saying my refund has been approved and should arrive soon. Almost 2 months since I sent my watch in for repair.
[Samsung Gear S3] dcAndroidFan:
This tracks almost exactly with my timeline and seems to be the US support experience for problems that they can't (or won't) fix.
[Samsung Gear S3] Sparkz914:
Finally got my check on Saturday, came pretty quick after nearly 2 months of waiting...
[Samsung Gear S3] BangNguyenFL:
1 week to replace a battery in my

Sent the watch back 2 weeks ago and got it back last week. So, it took them about 5 business days. Everything is working and much better than before.
[Samsung Gear S3] niioto:
Got shafted

I bought the S3 Frontier on Amazon but got the international version. Unfortunately, the barometer, Heart Rate Monitor, etc stopped working 2 weeks after. Made a report online and sent it to Samsung. It came back 2 weeks later untouched. I contacted them again and was asked to send it back. Got it three weeks later still untouched. I followed it up and finally got hold of someone responsible who said they should have sent me an email the first time to say that they cannot work on an international version. They could not even show me where to go.

Bitter lesson here. Buy the international version and you are done for.
[Samsung Gear S3] jmfixitman:
So does anyone know where I could buy a replacement logic board for my frontier? I've googled the heck out of it and haven't found any deals?
[Samsung Gear S3] traydoc:
I sent my Gear S3 in for a warranty repair It took about 12 days for them to return it to me. When I received it back it had not been repaired. A not was included stating my watch had evidence that it had water damage. The note also stated that the repair was too expensive to repair and that it was returned to me without any repairs. I called them and pleaded my case with them. After being on the phone with them for a long time they abruptly discontinued the call. I never showered with the watch on nor did I work with the watch on. I did not even wear the watch everyday. I am very upset because i did not pay over $300.00 for a disposable watch. I say disposable because if you can't wear the watch within the limits of the warranty and get it repaired by the warranty then I guess they want you to buy another one to replace the one that they refuse to repair under the warranty. I have not had my watch eight months yet and it is not usable. it is caught in a boot loop. Help anyone?

Samsung will not back up their warranty on Gear S3. they refuse to repair or replace any device with water damage (perspiration) I have filed a complaint with BBB regarding warrenty violations and false advertising. Encourage all with a Samsung problem to do the same.
[Samsung Gear S3] pavelsc:
Same thing with my watch. It has overheating issue and turns off even of my hand temperature. I went to the authorized service and they replaced a battery for $35. This didn't solve the problem and I took it back next day. Today they called me and said they cannot repair 765A version here in Europe. WTF? It means you shouldn't travel or what? I have them only for a month. Previously I have R760 for 3 month and sold it to my friend due to a tiny scratch on a case I occasionally got in a gym. So that was my first Samsung experience and I think I won't buy any of their goods again. No TVs, no phones, no microwaves or vacuum cleaners. I'm done with it. I won't even take them back, because I don't want to spend even a minute of my life for that BS.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] stanomx:
Hello,

Recently buyed this tablet. It has dualboot android & windows 10 latest update.

SDreader is not working in both OS.

I think bios is V3.0 ?

Is there any way to use the built reader? I prefer Windows but prefer to have the dualboot option. (Is it even working in single boot ?)

Thanks

PS: I read a lot's of threads. Can't find clear answer.

Tried updating bios and old unsigned driver method nothing works.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] thelionelking:
I'm a new poster here and I'd like to share my story:

My problems with the Titan began with the Seidio Super Slim Rubberized Case. DO NOT BUY THIS CASE!! It widens the space between the keyboard and display pieces of the phone. It put so much stress on the slider carriage that the phone finally split into two pieces.

Store techs set me up with a warranty replacement which I took as an opportunity to flash a clean phone. First thing I noticed, there was no "void" sticker on the bottom left screw which leads me to believe it's a refurbished unit. I proceeded to flash anyway not using the kitchen but I flashed to dcd 2.2.3. Everything was cool but the "QWER" buttons on the keyboard were entering different text. Each were entering 2 letters when pressed. I tried installing the keyboardfix.cab but it was no help

This was unacceptable. I flashed back, then things got worse. Now the whole keyboard is off, no buttons enter text except for the letters x and m and some other seemingly random quirks. What should I do? Should I go in for another replacement or is there some way I can fix this? I've searched for hours on end and I could not get any help. Anyone?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mastachillz:
you should exchange asap what carrier do you have as that will help us help you
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] rbadh91:
they usually give u refurbs as replacement...i wud recommend just swapping it with another one...but make sure u have stock rom when u return
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dwertz:
You can tell whether it is new or refurbished by ##778 under refurbishment status. I had heard also that the insurance replacements are refurbished unless the store does not have a refurbished phone.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] thelionelking:
It says no in the PST menu under refurbishment status....

I am with Verizon by the way...

But I guess, taking everyones advice so far, I'm going back to the store for my third 6800.....
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] rajuabju:
I would try reflashing to different ROM and RADIO altogether... such as DCD's 1.7.0 just to see if starting from scratch helps.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] thelionelking:
I have flashed back to Radio 1.30 and Rom 2.09 and still am and this made things much worse as I mentioned in my post...
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drew826:
Maybe you didn't have the case on right. Maybe you got a defective one. I've had my Seidio Super Slim Rubberized Case for a couple months now and I love it. I have ZERO complaints, and it doesn't widen any gaps. I would buy it over and over again.

Every warranty replacement phone I've received from Sprint has been a refurb. I imagine Verizon does the same. Otherwise they couldn't afford to replace all these phones under warranty, the way we treat them.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] hempy:
Mine did this as well. I even called them/sent pictures to confirm it was on correctly. I returned it in about 3 days.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] nosmohtac:
I've had two of these cases, and I noticed that it was putting pressure on the slider right away. The problem, at least IMHO, is that each of little tabs that hold each half on the phone have a raised edge on them that I had to file down. I'm not sure if they were just left on there from the mold, or if they were designed to be there to make the tabs stronger. If it's the latter, I will gladly risk the case tabs breaking before I let them break my phone.

Once I filed the ridge on the tabs down, there is no pressure on the slider, and I slides open as easily as when the case is off.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] iofractal:
So it all started when I decided to troubleshoot why google opinion was no longer working and found that it had no permissions and that it was using timeline from google maps. Then looking at timeline I noticed it was not tracking where I was going. I then started a chat with support and they noticed the same thing happening on multiple other phones. I asked if battery optimization would affect timeline and they stated no. I decided to disable it on google maps anyways and then found it to start working like it should. (Not sure if opinions is going to start giving me surveys but we will see) Since battery optimization was affecting maps it made me wonder if its affecting anything else so i stepped through each app and disabled battery optimization (would be nice if someone could write an app that does this because its quite tedious) Today I have not noticed any difference in battery usage and might actually be a little better.

Why have battery optimization if it causes issues with google's own apps preventing them from working correctly????
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] aroot:
iirc, Doze only kicks in after the phone has been unused and stationary for a few hours. If you keep it in your pocket all day it doesn't have a chance to save power
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] iofractal:
Well it made a difference because the app started tracking my location after turning off battery optimization.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] iofractal:
Google Opinion Rewards is now working!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] iofractal:
Makes me wonder how many other devices are neutered by battery optimization instead of helping
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] otonieru:
My optimisation is on. And the google local survey working without issue when i visit places.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] iofractal:
Yes but do you see every place in your google maps timeline. Mine shows driving and every location I have been now. Also I am talking about google rewards that pays you for answering questions not the maps app questions.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] otonieru:
Sorry then,

I never turn on location history.

thats a confirmed battery drainer, and i kinda hate it if google know about every places i go/visit. LoL

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
I purchased Package Disabler Pro in April of last year for my wife and myself , we both use Samsung devices.

Long story short, Package Disabler Pro ceased to work recently and also was not available on the Play Store .

Today I noticed that there is a new version of Package Disabler Pro called Package Disabler Pro + .

So instead of the developer fixing current customers issues and making them whole again, he or she brings out a repackaged "new" app to sell again.

So much for trying to support a local lad and developer. Never again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
Have you tried contacting the developer? There are comments on the Play Store that previous paid users reached out, and were promptly given a redemption code for the new app...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] KruseLudsMobile:
Use BK Disabler instead. 10x as many users, rated 4.4 vs. 2.9... See the screen shotView attachment 4384727

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
Ah that's frustrating for sure. The dev could have definitely been more transparent and responsive there. Honestly I would still send them another email now...no begging (or rudeness, lol), just a short and clear email asking them to make it right. It's been a while and life happens, but right now it looks like they may be 'back in business'... for what it's worth, no harm in trying and seeing if they respond with a code this time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Nick216ohio:
What's up with a lot of apps being abandoned? A lot of big 1s as well. Read the other day play store/apple made $60 billion last year off apps. Starting to think these developers get peanuts while Google/Apple get the bulk. That's not right at all smh.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MatroxD:
I emailed the developer after reading this. Hopefully they respond.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
So much ( for me ) trying to support a local developer . lesson learned.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
I went a head and purchased BK pro a few days ago. For those telling me just get BK, you were missing my point .

My point was that I purchased an app in good faith that has been abandoned by the developer and remarketed as a new product to sell for more profit. In this case its under the new name of Package Disabler Pro + . In essence the dev wants to re-sell the same product to existing customers that were left out.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] usmaak:
I have a couple of 99 cent apps in the Apple app store. When I sell one, I get 70 cents. Considering the effort that Apple puts into their setup and the app store and iTunesConnect, I don't think that 29 cents in their pocket for a sale is outrageous.

I have no idea about the play store, though. I don't have anything there as I'm primarily an Apple developer. I have one on Amazon, but it's a freebie.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Nick216ohio:
I for once applaud Apple for real. That's not a a bad cut for you and seems fair. Does that same percentage apply to in app purchases?

I would guess play store be the same or close to same percentage. Maybe there's other reasons developers abandoned.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
It wasn't abandoned, they brought another one out called Package Disabler Pro Plus that they sell.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] usmaak:
I don't have any IAP in my apps, but I believe that it's the same cut for them. It's a pretty simple pricing structure, really.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Nick216ohio:
Hats off to Apple, maybe google? Need to google for them and see. Thanks for being a developer! We really appreciate people like you especially at XDA.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] StevePritchard:
I reached out to them via eMail after seeing this thread (I was running Package Disabler Pro v11 with the PDP Plugin), and after explaining that I just wanted to upgrade to the latest version they very kindly sent a link to the Pro + version with a voucher for redemption to make it free of charge.

Buy an unlocked phone. Then you dont have to pay developers like this. Samsung has mostly fixed any reason you normally might use a product like this. I dont mind if a developer makes a new version for new phones, but to completely remove an app I used on my old one is pathetic.
