I have the same problem. It use to work but then it stopped. But it stopped before i put any of the roms from here so it is not because of any cooked rom.
If you find a solution let me know. I have looked and cant find any solution hat works.

I had exactly the same problem. Hp replaced my device on warranty. Now its fine.
I think it's a known weakness.

as ur advice i called today HP Greece...they looks to be helpful...i describe my prob,1st they give me the rom solution but when i told them that i check all this then they said they will replace that...they told me they'll email me for details and pickup from my home...so all i want to know from u that,is this the same way u replace ur 614c ???? i want to add here that i bought it as refurbished.so do u think they gonna replae it?
regards,
sajib

Yes its the same way i got mine replaced, except that i live in Sweden.
But i think the procedure is the same all over the world.
Probably they replace the unit to a new one, I think its to time consuming to repair and send back the same device.
They guarantee that it will take maximum 8 days I think.
Good Luck

dead galaxy s

Ok so i flashed my galaxy s last night
flashed gingerbread with odin all went fine.
couldnt access cwm mode , so tried a reflash. it failed half way through the flash.
I suspect low battery was the cause of the fail (my fault i know before i get flamed )
after reading many post i was wondering if anyone knows where i can get it jtag
Prefferably in the north east uk, or know where i could sent it.
Thanks in advance

A quick ebay search gave me a lot of results....

Hope this helps

thanks for your reply but these only work if you have some life in the phone, mine dosnt light up vibrate or anything

might be worth a try anyway... I mean you could always bring it to a repair centre???

Here is a tip for you, mate
If your phone is so damaged that no one seems to know what went wrong with it unless you told them you flashed a ROM and everything went wrong.
SEND TO SAMSUNG FOR FREE!
How? With your current condition, they can't tell that you messed around with it. Do not mention anything about Froyo, Gingerbread, Odin, Flash, Kernel. Act like you know nothing about all of those.
Try to put the blame on Kies. Tell them that you connected to Kies and it asked you for a Firmware Update. You click UPDATE and *KABOOM*. Your warranty would not be void. Trust me

Doesn't matter, the phone isn't even a year old yet so you should still have warranty bud , I did exactly the same thing, I blamed kies and the service centre in Staines UK fixed it for free

ahh cool ill give them a ring tomz, cheers guys
btw what do i tell em when they ask for proof of purchace or when and where i bought it?

I know it will sound dumb, but have you tried charging the battery? Does anything come out in the screen?
Enviado desde mi GT-I9000 usando XDA Premium App

yes left it on charge over night

I bought my phone from someone else too. But the dude gave me a warranty document together with it.
I'm not sure if this applies to other region, but in Asia, phones have warranty stickers in them in case the warranty documents are not available.
Samsung Galaxy S GT i9000 has a warranty period of 2 years.

And in most cases the Service Centre will just the IMEI of the phone to check the warranty status. Hope you get it sorted..

Normally, when you charge your phone and you press the power key, the screen will show a battery charging, and the level of charge. When you do it, does anything come out in the screen?

After 100+ days SE replaced my X10 by... an ARC!!!

My "old" X10 presented some weird issues with 720p recording and GPS navigation, both rebooting the phone after a few minutes plus the device getting very hot.
At first I thought it was because of some custom ROMs and custom kernels with OC, but I reached the conclusion it was a hardware issue since I flashed back the stock ROM and the issues continued.
Anyways.... today they called me and gave me a brand new arc!!!
I'm kind excited but in the mean time I bought an Atrix and I think I'll sell the arc but not without play with it for a while

That's fairly lucky. I used to work in SE contact centre(in the days of the K750) in the UK and we had to push like crazy to get customers new handsets let alone an upgrade!

Yeah, it wasn't easy at all. I had to submit it 3x and wait more than 30 days each. Was happy if they gave me a new X10. I was almost giving up and suing them according to the BR laws then today I received the unexpected call

Hi, I'm from BR too, I've been having same issue, random reboots with gps or watch videos. Phone get very heat and reboot. My warranty go to end of august and I'm thinking to do just like you.
Thanks for the tip!
Edit: did you send your phone with root? Did you have original firmware or send with generic stock firmware? Could you Give me yours steps please?

Hint: If your phone got sent to SE factory like mine did, call there and ask for a new one. Insist and be patient, that's the key

how much are you asking for the arc

Sent with stock original firmware, always. I don't think root is an issue, but custom roms are.
Actually once I forgot to switch back from a custom ROM and the guys on Technical Assistance were really nice and informally refused without registering anything about it. I went home, reflashed original firmware and sent it back like it never happened
More than one person told me that SE had a lot of problematic X10s and if you insist on replace the device, they will probably will give you something new too.

ill buy the arc.

Root or modified firmware will void the warranty and they can see if it's been done really easy in EMMA now.
EMMA will show that modified software has been detected and tell the operator to deal with it as OUT-OF-WARRANTY.
So if you're still under warranty flash it back to stock before you send it in.

So, I just need to destroy my X10 so I can send it back

lucky man
Thats pretty sweet, ive had to return phones to SE before (or an "authorised repairer" in my country, which is 600km's away, at my cost(?!?!)) and all i ever get is the same phone back with the particular part replaced. (which in one case failed again just AFTER the original warranty and repair warranty ran out)
Must be an X10 problem they cant just "fix" for you.
I would drop the atrix and keep the arc, the screen on the atrix is just a bit dodge for my liking, otherwise a great phone with some great standout features, but i'll bet the bravia powered display on that arc is brilliant!

All of you are unlucky lol, maybe it's an error on motherboard. My phone run very smooth, watch 720p, HD game but no rebooting lol

S III died yesterday

Hi guys!
Just wanted to share my pain, hope you won´t mind...
This is what happened:
Yesterday I came home from work, pulled my S3 out of my pocket and saw it was turned off. I tried to turn it on, but no luck. The phone was dead! Tried pulling the battery out, leaving it alone for more than 10 mins... tried to boot it into recovery - nothing. Tried the download mode - no signs of life at all. It was just a shiny brick! Putting it on charger didn´t help. No reaction, no led flashing, NOTHING! And just half an hour before everything was fine.
I was running the latest official AOKP build the last couple of days, so I really don´t believe that the software has something to do with it since I didn´t flash anything yesterday. The other question is now if the Samsung guys will notice that the phone wasn´t running stock software and that the warranty is actually void... I hope they won´t! But if they too won´t be able to turn it on, I guess they won´t!
I took the phone to the Samsung service center this morning and didn´t receive any feedback yet. As soon as I know something I´ll share it.
Did anyone happen something similar to this?

awww sorry to hear that , i am sure its covered in warranty

I don't understand the warranty thing, if the phone is dead and not due to you installing a Rom or kernel or modding it then can't really see any reason to refuse fixing or replacing it.
If however it was because of the reason that you did install things then I can see how the warranty is void.
Hope you get it seen to

In 2013, rooting won't be illegal. Too bad it happened to your device, that is just bad luck.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

i don't know where you live but i'm pretty sure rooting is not illegal anywhere it just voids your warranty. removing the simlock is an entirely different story

Has happened to me too, 1 week after purchase (got stuck on the Samsung Galaxy SIII on boot). Got mine replaced right there and then but i'm left wondering about the quality of the phone. I get it that there are always problems with every product but i see so many people reporting the same lately i start thinking it may be chronic. Some component failing or some batch where something went wrong..
Sorry to hear that, they are an absolute pain in the ass with warranty in my country. They didn't even want to replace mine because the dude was claiming the back of my phone was slightly scratched (i wasn't, even) and they are quite anal about modded phones but, wish you the best of lucks!

Could you please be a little bit more precise? Is this a rumor or a new law to get passed?

exaclty the same happened to me. just in the middle of the day i realized that my sg3 was off. tried to turn it on but it didnt react. later at home i tried to charge but had the same bad result.
my biggest problem was, that it was rooted and running on a custom firmware since they tell you at every point, that you lose your warranty doing that...
after several hours of trying / searching and reading i became sure, that it would be an hardware fault and sent it to a local cellphone-support center.
they needed about 2 weeks to find out the problem, order a new main board, fix it and luckily didnt care about my custom firmware. they even updated it to the latest offical 4.1!
2 day ago i got it back and became happy - in this 2 weeks i realized how much i depend on this little thing
soo... i feel with you on this and good luck!

This is actually what I´m thinking... that the motherboard died... I just hope that tomorrow or on wednesday, I will at least get informed what is wrong with it... Don´t even dare to think how long it will take to have it again... And yes... I depend on it too!!! Maybe even too much!!! LOL

Stop flashing whatever roms you don't know ,or u will suffer a sever consequence "i'm talking about hard brick" .READ FORUMS AND TUTORIALS

Mine completely died just about 2 weeks ago, stock rom but rooted. Dropped it off at a service centre and got it back today with a shiny new motherboard (and JB)... As long as it's properly dead, they can't tell what's on it as the only way to revive it is to change the innards.

Dude, I´m not a noob, what happened has nothing to do with software.

I entirely accept that this is a generalism and as such is bound to attract a hoard of punters contradicting it, but in many years on these boards I can recall few if any instances where repairs have been refused due to the installation of non-standard ROMs. It is sensible for manufacturers to discourage the practice - XDA-Developers is plagued with ill-informed noobs charging off to do things beyond their technical capabilities without doing adequate research - but I suspect a refusal to play the game would be counterproductive.
That said, I would always be inclined to revert back to a stock ROM and clean up a bit if I had the option before doing a return for repair.

its the same thing that happened to my phone running cm10 about 2 days ago.
sent my phone in for repairs to samsung. they probably won't be able to find out it was modified. probably needs to change hardware to even boot the phone up.
disappointing experience. :/

by any means, did you played with the clock levels?
oc/uc?

It's not illegal. You won't go to prison or even get sued (Android is not Apple). It just void your warranty.

just got back my phone.
They fixed it even though I rooted & had custom rom installed.
Guess they couldn't tell as the phone couldn't even start up. hahah.
Now restoring the latest nandroid I had.

Nice to here that pal, hope this will not happen to anyone in future... this is my 2nd GS 3 (first broken due to Barca loss vs Madrid in August) and never had hardware problems.

So... here I am again...
Got my phone back yesterday. And it was the motherboard so they replaced it.
Man was I happy to have my phone back! But... my hapiness didn't last long.
When I came home I had to discover that now the gyroscope is not working. No autorotate whatsoever, no games that require the accelerometer...
Means they just replaced the mother board, flashed the latest firmware but didn't bother to test the device.
So tomorrow I'm going back to the service center and I'm going to yell my soul out at whoever responsible...
Unbelievable!
(screen rotation is checked, I tried calibrating the gyro, pulling out the battery, etc...)
This is such a disappointing experience... I'll think twice before buying a Samsung phone again...

[Q] LG E960

Ive had the above for about a month never have i been satisfied with the volume (being hard of hearing doesnt help)to the point where id all ready booked a repair date for next week
The phones unlocked and rooted (bit obvious else i wouldn't be on this forum would i )and in truth ive been playin with a lot of patches and apps out there to improve the volume
Now yesterday after tryin beats xlouder and a couple of sound boost apps. i followed a link to bryce09 kernel which i flashed only to find it killed the phone and i mean KILLED
Ive tried the Nexus repair toolkit/Wgfresh on a VM running W7 and nothing!!
Now im on an iMac and ive run Galaxy Nexus GSM unroot/stock and it goes through all the processes and at the end says press start
But theres nothing on the screen at all all tho and the power button does nothing
Now if i strip down the phone and disconnect the battery am i right in thinking it will reset it
or as ive all ready got a repair booked is it worth it

Oh hell no. You will void your warranty. Just send it back and get it fixed.

Ive just finished have a online conversation with LG who tried to phone me this morning about the booked repair ( why do they do that ? surely if youve booked a repair does it not follow that youve a problem with your phone )
Any way the out come is they dont want to know and ive to get in touch with Google and see abot send i to them for repair after some of the reports ive read on forum i can see this being a runner not

Update
So after speaking with LG about my repair they advised me to get in touch with Google (my god i was looking foreward to that)any way all went well didn't seem to get through to the ignorant irish
Finished up with my RMA and nearly £300 lighter in my pocket which i hoping wont ultimately go through
Gets the replacement Nexus ....now the TNT guy that delivered it i knew as i worked form them for many years he told me that he picks up loads of theses LGs for replacement they ship out to Poland of Korea ....must be by the lorry load
Just wish id knew this before i got rid of my old Sammsung Galaxy Nexus
So any ways its on eBay lol not even going to undo it
with out a doubt worst phone ive had

Please tell me you did not tell them what you did to the phone, because that would have been silly, and partially my fault because I forgot to warn you. If your phone was indeed dead, it would have been difficult for them to tell.

Did anyone actually send an unlocked/rooted phone back and got a warranty void e-mail/call? Everyone seems so concerned, yet i know users who sent theirs without returning to stock and it was no problem at all...

Silly repair booking person, to assume you've given the a different contact number, considering your phone may be broken, they'd never assume you'd give them that number

only stuck in boot process and nothing i searched xda
i got how to flash the firm from xda developers i did what they tell
