Got my phone about 3 days ago, they changed the motherboard and it came with jl2. Now im a little bit worried since i get 1 to 3 force close a day, i rarely had any when using jh2...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] twigggs:
I called mine in on January 6th. They gave me no hassles and even though I still have my receipt, it was not needed at any point.

I waited for 8 days to get a shipping label. I called at least twice in the meantime and on the third call they had a supervisor issue me a shipping label within 5 minutes.

I sent it out immediately around 3pm January 14. They received it on January 15 as confirmed by them and the UPS tracking number.

We now sit on January 29th with nothing.

I called the service center since Samsung wouldn't. They gave me the number. 1-514-738-8333. (sorry if this has already been posted)

She said my phone only repair status was that it is in repair. She also said the obviously have tons of these phones and main boards are on back order. According to her it will take at least two weeks before they get another shipment.

She said my phone DIDN'T say they it was waiting for parts in the notes so I might not be waiting for a new main board but she wouldn't know until the Monday January 31.

I left out the parts in between where I called Samsung in the meanwhile and wanted updates and to know when I would have my phone back. Each person has a different twist on their policies and it seems like the supervisors are constantly in meetings. Promised call backs don't happen and they all say they care but no one really does anything to help you get more information or even keeps their word about call backs.

Anyway, I am unimpressed and this is really messing up my want of the Nexus S when it comes to Canada in March.

Lucky for me, Rogers (for a $50.00 deposit) is lending me a crappy Nokia. I can only get on the Edge network and the phone sucks but at least I can do business during the week. If I don't get my phone back for another month, I will have had this loaner Nokia for as long as I had my working Vibrant... :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gulmat:
I'm wondering, did you clean the connection inside the usb plug of the phone? or was is the connection going from the plug to the pcb? I got the same problem after i accidently got some snow in mine and i dont know what to do.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cripez:
wow.. most ridiculous crap ever!

Called samsung yesterday.. a girl picked up and I explained my situation. she simply told me to go to Bell. I replied saying I did that already and because I'm not with bell, they told me to go directly to samsung. Then the girl asked who I'm with? so I said Fido and she said I have to go to fido to get the phone repaired!?!?

WTF!?!?! I told her "this is a Bell's Phone!! Fido is just my service provider!! They know nothing about this phone!" so she said that all service providers have contracts with samsung and other manufacturers so they "WILL" take the phone in and send it to samsung. I don't understand why I HAVE to go through other phone company just to get samsung to take it in and repair it anyways!?

Bull**** dont make sense!!

I called again today and got someone else... he asked for my serial number and seems to know what he is doing much better than the girl.. or so I THOUGHT.

finally after confirming my email address and info.. he says to call back tmr between 8am-8pm because their 1st Tier service operates from 8am-12am but their 2nd Tier service is 8-8 only... and in order to process a ticket for repair for me.. he needs Tier 2's permissions...

again WTF?!?!?! why do they have two grades of services and why bother having tier 1 work an extra 4 hours if they cant do **** without their tier 2!?!?

BULLSHIITTT!!!!!

I'm calling tmr and this time I'm going to get super rude if they give me some other bs excuses!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nightmare56:
I know how you feel. Keep calling until you get a person who knows what they're doing. Took 5-6 calls for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cripez:
OK! wow!! finally someone who knows wtf they are doing!! but the strange aprt is she never even asked about my serial number or anything at all!! all she did was apologized and emailed me a UPS label!??!?!

LOL!! how am I going to know if I'm ever going to get this damn phone back? lol

here goes nothing!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nightmare56:
They use the serial to see if it's under warranty. this phone clearly is still under the 12 month warranty because it's still in its first year

on the bright side i got my phone back today. well its a replacement but a 10.08 date, same as my old one. came with jl2 preloaded.

Flashed hardcore's kernal using odin

cooked a js3 with jl2 modem and a BMC csc (jh2 one)

all is good for now in its first 12 hours. battery life is very good, the battery is my old one though from before.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] twigggs:
I was told earlier this week (Monday) by the repair center woman that they main boards that a lot of these phones need is on a two week back order.

Just an FYI for anyone waiting right now...

My phone should be back tomorrow as I got the Purolator tracking number today. She called and left a message on my cell saying it was shipped.

So IF it arrives tomorrow it will have taken from Jan. 6, until Feb. 4 to get this issue resolved. :mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cripez:
hmmm well the one i sent in is 10.10

... they better not send me back a older model =.="
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Zb134:
Hey guys! I had my phone since september. Bought from best buy with a new 3 yr bell contract.

My phone has recently been acting weird and I am pretty sure I am about to join the dead sd club. Lots of FC's and the phone gets frozen while playing videos or going through the gallery. Tried lots of roms, but the problems eventually appear.

Just want to be prepared in case the phone craps out. I stay in downtown montreal and work in dorval. What's my best course of action?

Also my phone is rooted and on darky's rom...should I unroot and go stock
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cripez:
I say back up all your stuff now while it's still working.. just in case. Then attempt to flash a stock rom. Do a hard reset and format your internal SD card via the computer without using "quick format" and once that is done.. go back to darky's rom or whatever you want and see if that issue is fixed. IF you're unlucky and eventually get a dead SD card, you do live in montreal... you're more lucky than the rest of us... apparently you can just walk in and drop it off then pick it up at the end of the day and TADAAA ur issue is fixed. FOr us who mailed in our phone... some people never got it back and are still waiting T.T

like me...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nightmare56:
Thats the best city to be in, if it fails. Just walk in to service absolut and they hook u up.

I sent mine in with a stock jl2 on it so when I start the phone it says i9000m. The m is the important part. Rooting didnt matter because the phone never went past the S logo. Good luck. Make a serious backup!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Zb134:
I don't get the hard reset part...do you mean a factory reset?

In any case, I am backing up everything with TitaniumBackup and syncing it to my dropbox account.

My phone shows the M during startup but it disappears after a few secs... I use JL2 modem but not the stock rom.

I thought I was one of the lucky ones cause I had flashed multiple roms and used odin a lot but never had any trouble with my sgs till now. Guess not!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cripez:
same here.. I flashed over 30+ times and thought I was invincible... till the phone started shutting off on its own alot and then always force closing randomly.. then during work one day I took it out of my pocket and noticed it was shut off... so I turned it on and it never again turned on... boot loop at the "samsung i9000m" and thats when I flashed it one last time to amke sure its says i9000m and mailed it into samsung hahah
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BakaSenpai:
has anyone been able to send their phone in for repair without a receipt/proof of purchase?

I'm going to be calling samsung about my sd card failure and wanted to know if it's possible to just send it without one. Thanks =D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sackofnoise:
Well i had my receipt but they never asked for it, they just asked for my serial number and they sent me a shipping label (and i scheduled a free pickup with ups)

just my 0.02 cents...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cripez:
I was able to send mine in without a receipt but the question is... am I ever going to get it back.. hahah

i sent it like on the 8th... its now the 21st and not a single email or phone call to let me know whatsup... I called in and asked and the guy was like

`oh if you sent it in and the tracking say that we recieved it then yeah I think we probably have it and it`s probably being fixed`

wtf.. so I asked him to find out and confirm it and he told me there is no way they can do this... FML
[Galaxy S I9000 General] paulasp:
Sent mine in on the 7th, they didn't get it till the 11th. I bought it second hand, they told me to put the reciept in the box but I just left it empty. I got it back the following fri(18th).

They didn't msg me either, it just showed up, I was quite surprised.

But the invoice says they just re-flashed it and reset it.

Oh well, it works for now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cripez:
I got mine back today... but it locked my network again... so in attempt to reflash it back to 2.1 just so I can use the unlock.bat that only works on 2.1...

guess what? after one flash the SD card died AGAIN!?!?!?.... FML
[Galaxy S I9000 General] paulasp:
i bricked mine trying to root it a couple hours after I got it back.

Follow directions on

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11223771&postcount=16

worked good after that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cripez:
lol I went with a different way but I did got it working again.. I'm terrified with flashing now hahah
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
Update: Bell got a new "procedure" to replace defective phones

now they wont accept phones for repairs in store

they now force you to call Bell

1 877 DATA 123

1 877 3282 123

then talk to Tech Support, and ... waste like 2 hours on the phone meanwhile they force you to go through their scripted Trouble Shooting Guide

and then finally they will give you the option to replace the phone

Oh! and to boot, if you have multiple phones (IMEI) they will only change the one listed in your account.

so guess what?! the damn idiots at Bell denied me to replace the phone, because my IMEI has changed soooo many times already with all the previous replacements :rolleyes::mad:

bell sucks big time, don't use their service if you can avoid it.... seriously
[Galaxy S I9000 General] frozenbb:
My story:

got mine dead a week ago, call samsung today (1-800-xxxxxxx). lady picked up and setup an account. asked me what model of galaxy I have, so I told her I got a vibrant. I told her my problem, got my SD card fired and now freezed on the i9000 screeen. She asked for the serial number not even the IMEI. She asked where I purchased the phone, i told her I bought it second hand and she asked if I hv the receipt. I told her I will try to look for it. Then she confirmed my info and I got my UPS shipping label after the call.

Should I send in without the receipt?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nedthehead:
My situation:

Called Samsung last week after my internal SD died. They gave me the entire run-around blaming it on me, telling me Kies isn't up to date, and giving me about 10 different transaction numbers. Finally, they were worked into a corner and sent me a UPS label. But I checked the label and the phone was being sent to Mississauga. No big deal. it's only 30 minutes away from me.

So I call back a week later to check on the status of the phone. I get three different answers: First of all, my phone was shipped to the wrong location. Second time, my phone was received on the 24th (the day after I sent it) but it hasn't been touched yet. The third guy said it was at Absolut, and the technician would look at it today or tomorrow.

So, I currently can't be sure where my phone is, or when I'm getting it back to be honest. The guy at Samsung said 1 week if it's a reflash, or another 2 weeks if they have to replace the motherboard.

I asked for a loaner phone... he asked if I was with Bell, and I told him I bought the phone unlocked at Futureshop to use with Rogers. He said my only luck is to call Rogers and plead with them to have some sort of usable phone for the next few weeks...

Based on this alone, I'm not looking forward to purchasing another Samsung product...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gfacer:
I thought Rogers guaranteed a loaner phone? Isn't that in all their marketing stuff? Seems odd they would deny one just because they did not subsidize the phone (but then again it is Rogers...).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] airmin98:
is the replacement i9000m still unlockable by our self? or we have to pay to get it unlock? thanks,
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bryanayrb:
after like 6 calls with bell and samsung i finally got a shipping label. i bought mine second hand & unlocked so it was a bit tricky. i have no receipt and the samsung guy keeps telling me i need to put the receipt in the box too.. but he gave me the shipping label anyway even though i kept telling him i didn't have the receipt

does it really matter? im just gonna send it in.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cripez:
thats what they told me but I clearly said I got it as a xmas gift so I don't have the receipt. I disregard their stupidity and send it in anyway. Surely enough it didnt matter and I got mine back repaired =]
[Galaxy S I9000 General] biscuit26:
sorry this bring this thread up but here is my situation :

i have a dead i9000m i called samsung but the guy told me i have to call bell first send them the phone and bell will send the phone to samsung. but the problem is im not a bell customer and my phone is unlocked so they don't want to take it.

isn't there any other way to get my phone fixed ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
i'm in the same boat...

Samsung is turning totally customer non friendly

you can call them back, and tell them Bell will not take it from you

I have one of the 1st White EVO's from Sprint and ever since It's been Rooted and running various ROMs I've had this issue where Every time I get a call and use my BT-Headset, it kills my WiFi connection:mad:. If I use my Speaker phone option the WiFi stays on and works just fine. Roms I've tried and this issue persist: AVA-Froyo, Fresh Rom, Freak-E Froyo, and currently running MIUI. All have been the latest versions. I've update my Radios with the current Radio "Combo Zip" and still have this issue. I've tried various headsets from the $9.99 Cheapo's to my $99.99 Plantronics Voyager Pro+ and still have this issue. If there is something I'm missing or anyone else has had this issue with the EVO, please help or point me in the right direction. What's the point of having a phone that's supposed to multi task with Voice and Data if the built-in features are killing each other?:confused:

*!Update!*

======

I am now running the latest [EVO NonSense v3.4] ROM and it's all good:D. I've made several calls and my WiFi and 4G are working as they should. Plus my Bluetooth transmission is a 100 times clearer as well. I'm no expert, but my only conclusion is that it could be the Kernels.

Does anyone know if the [2.6.32.15-gof673ed htc-kernel@u18000-Build-149 #10] will work with the above mentioned ROMs, particularly the latest MIUI?

Thanks in advance for any help and quick replies. :)

Or, how to do it?

You can Move Apps by going: Menu->Settings->Apps->Manage Apps->Select App->and Move to SD.

Only on 2.2, i think.

​

I allowed myself to change a bit the ROM CM6 becoming almost equal to the Android version Gingerbread. The base of the ROM is the CyanogenMod 6.1.0 RC2.

CHANGELOG:

* Theme and Icon Gingerbread

* Keyboard Gingerbread

* Gingerbread Browser

* Menu 'phone Gingerbread

* Menu 'contacts Gingerbread

Unfortunately I could not change the market with the new version (but you can 'flash safely without losing data)

UPDATE:

-Added Gingerbread theme with icons Froyo

-Added Gingerbread theme and icons without keyboard

Do the following:

1) Wipe data and cache from your phone via recovery.

2) Flash and boot a rooted stock ROM.

3) Wipe data and cache from your phone via recovery.

4) Flash CM 6.1 from recovery.

5) Flash HDPI Gapps 12/11 from recovery.

6) Boot, wait for home screen.

I am thinking of buying the Desire HD (living in Germany), but before i have some questions. Maybe there are some nice guys and of course girls outside there who can help me:

(know that I wont flash my DHD and I wont root it)

1. I had a Dell Streak before. It was terribly annoying me. Vibration failed often. Are there any problems concerning that known with DHD?

2. Is battery OK? Does it do 24h with moderate usage and 3G turned on permanently?

3. How fast can you switch on/off 3G/Wlan/etc.? Is there a switch or widget for the home page (without any additional apps)?

4. Are there any terrible bugs which make you wanting to throw the phone out of the window, and which cant be fixed without a custom rom or rooting?

5. Is the build quality good?

6. Is there a phone that is faster?

7. Is the system always fast or sometimes laggy, are there certain laggy menus like with the Dell Streak?

More may occur.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rixsta:
1. No problem but vibrate is not very strong.

2. Battery is not that good...I doubt you will get through 24 hrs with 3g and moderate use...Ive do all sorts of things to try and help but when your stuck without a charger it really becomes a problem....main reason I sold mine.

3. No...No option in the pull down bar...there maybe in widgets Im not sure...not used sense rom for a long time..cyangogen rom all these options are in the pulldown notification bar.

4. The /INIT process lag problem that cripples your cpu (see my sticky in HD General)......Turning on USB Debugging sorts the problem out.

5. Yes in most it is but the battery and sim cover are a bit of a let down...

6. On paper NO......Closest is the Galaxy S but only after Darky's custom rom....I reckon the Nexus S which uses the same galaxy S processor and ram will be quick running pure android 2.3.... Its a close call but the Desire HD has more ram and is very quick....even quicker with a custom rom.....but whats not !

7. No lag what so ever.
