Just got my repaired unit back from samsung - Galaxy Tab 10.1 General

sent it in for the newton ring repair last week and got it back today, same tablet and they replaced the screen......my tablet came with an unlocked bootloader and they sent it back with an unlocked bootloader.....wondering if i should have even unrooted it in the first place

you do realize that you couldve fixed the issue by putting it in the freezer or bend the back a little bit. unlocked boot loader doesnt do much..

OMG REALLY? NO WAY.....THANKS SO MUCH
of course i knew that, but after putting it in the freezer 10 times, blowing into the port 50 times and attempting to bend it out, i got tired of having to do it every 20 minutes.

Tricks like putting it in the freezer only help temporarily (yes, there may be exceptions - but for most people it does not help).
I had the problem and it was away temporarily after the freezer but it came back and got bigger and bigger.
Only a replacement of the screen with a good one can really help.
I got mine repaired and its fine now.

In my opinion better to get it replaced than all these temp fixes. Why wouldn't you when you have warranty and it's free. I agree it is a hassle not having the tab for around 10 days but for long term it makes sense.

Hell no! Samsung needs to rectify that nonsense. This, unfortunately, is why Apple has 70% of the tablet market. No one should have to screw around with putting their tab in the freezer to temporarily fix a design flaw.

You know what's funny?
If I wouldn't be a xda member I wouldn't read how to fix it myself, I'd just go to the shop either return it or replace or ask for repair.... Just like every normal user would do and just like every apple fanboy would do

quoted for when your tab runs out of warranty and the quick fix doesnt work anymore......

Several people had theirs replaced for free so as long as you don't get a **** of a tech....
For those that are on the beta Bonsai 4.1.0b9 the 2 quickest ways to get back to 4.0.1 is to flash 4.0.1 then run one click root Clockwork Mod 3.0.0.6 since it does not play nice with the imbedded 3.0.2.4 from 4.1.0 or you can Odin EB13 prerooted with CWM 3.0.0.6 then after converting to EXT 4 restore a nandroid of 4.0.1. Reflash 4.0.1 after that to disable journaling. Then Odin the EC05 modem.
EB13 link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853209
One click root CWM 3.0.0.6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897612
If anyone needs Odin let me know.
charge the battery for an hour or so. then try to get into download mode again. if you can, stop and charge the battery to full. if you can't, it may actually be bricked. download mode uses alot of juice, and you can think you're bricked when you really just have a dead battery.
That happened to me once. I freaked out cause I thought my phone was bricked. So I went to have a cigarette, left it on the charger, and when I came back in, it turned right on

One of the guys with the bricked phones had extra batteries charged, and no go. Another just came back from the Sprint store and they ordered him another phone after trying to revive it for 2 hours. Whatever this is, it is really bricking the phones. It could be CWM 3.0.2.4 related since that was imbedded in the ROM.

There is modified charging code in the kernel. That could be the culprit.

I didn't take it seriously until the 4th bricked phone. I even tried to convince myself that I would be safe with the Genocide kernel on it. But then common sense took over and I went back to 4.0.1 and passed the word here.
After taking my brick in and they worked with it for a couple of hours they said they would replace it no questions asked. When I first went in I told them I took it off the charger and it wouldn't turn on. Nothing they could do would get it running.
None in stock so I wait until tomorrow or the next day.

And they don't eat the phones. They get refurbed and given to the next insurance claim.
They shouldn't be, but things like this is exactly the ammunition they need to lock down the bootloader, up insurance cost, etc. . .
I am not sure why anyone would think it would be okay to rob a bank and then tell everyone about it, but people seem to think posting in a public forum is some how annomymous.
No I am not saying anyone is going to get in trouble, but a simple google search pulls this stuff up.

Really? You are on the side of the insurance company? The same one that gets $7 a month from most people and then instead of giving people a new phone immediately makes them wait for a refurbed one, a couple of days. The same insurance that makes you wait a couple of days to get your keyboard fixed instead of giving you another phone. Believe me they are not losing any money. Don't cry for them.

Indeed, they are not losing anything. In fact, the insurance industry is the only field that hires more mathematicians than NASA. They make sure that no matter what, prices and deductibles are set so they profit. It's one of the longest going scams in history. I have TEP on 5 lines. So I don't feel bad when someone gets their money's worth.

Banks are insured too. So should we say the same thing when they're robbed? Hell, let's not even go after the people who robbed it because they're insured right?
Somebody has to eat the cost any time a claim is made. And unfortunately, it's the consumer. TEP used to be $5 a month. Nobody is forced to have insurance on their phone. And nobody is forced to load custom ROMs either. Don't try to justify the risk you took by thinking you're entitled to a claim any time you want it.
Auto insurance companies deny claims all the time because of negligence. Why should we all pay when someone is doing 150mph down the freeway? It's the same concept here.
Ok bonsai fans, please stop talking about getting phones replaced. We are starting to attract all the party poopers and well they are going to poop on your party(in a ****ty arnold voice)

ATRIX is my LAST Motorola product

So my phone has this problem of only intermittently vibrating when I get a text/call. So I got an RMA and sent it in. First off, the lost it, and took several days and several phone calls to find somebody who was able to locate my phone. They then told me that it was not under warranty because it was physical damage. They said the main board was bent. Somehow I was apparently able to bend the phone enough to bend the main board but not crack the screen or back or anything else. So they said they could sell me a phone for $179 (no way). Sounds like crap to me........ I'll be buying Samsung next time.
cool story bro.

Except Samsung has always been on top of updates. The only time Samsung hasn't had a timely update was due to networks, namely AT&T, not approving of the update for a long time.
I agree! Samsung makes good phones, but the touchwiz icons make me feel like I should use velcro shoes, safety scissors, finger paints, ect.

Blew my SGS2 up...

couldnt believe it. had my phone since day release and loved it so much, been using CM7 since 1st nightly and i plugged it into my hifi to play some music and as soon as i pluged the headphone jack into the phone it fried it lol.. everytime i plugged my batt into the phone it instanly got very hot.. no screen nothing. tried using jig but no luck.. just a major hot phone around the camera and screen.
took it to be repaired under manafacture warranty...
just cant beleive it!
I feel sorry for you, man.
Something similar happened to me a few days ago, after a buggy shutdown phone got really hot.
Luckily I've touched it before it fried so I removed the batt and let it cool down, scary as hell!

Thread was a dissapointment.. Was hoping for a story about you being a demolition guy and had left your phone by the tnt and accidently blew it up
But anyway, Unlucky dude, Do you have it rerpaired yet?
So they got you covered, even while you have CM7 installed. Will they like that? I'd really expect them to ignore the whole custom firmware aspect. Maybe the hardware is this damaged, they can't check that.

+ tnh honest its hardware related.. cant see why even if they could find out jtagging it they would blame a rom for the cause...

Mine had i problem with the usb.
The S2 kept thinking it was charging which kept the wifi on and caused mayor battery drains.
Luckily I got the phone back to stock when it was a bit stable on the usb and could send it back after doing the jig connect.

Somehow "broke" my replacement digitizer - help?

The dis-assembly went rather smoothly. When I was kind of finangling to get the new digitizer on, I noticed that the actual strip had become lose. I believe this may have been caused by the heat of my hand - or perhaps it was fault to begin with.
Now looking at the circuitry and the ribbon itself, it doesn't seem like anything is broken. Would there be any way for me to adhere the ribbon back on properly in order to make my digitizer work again? I don't really have the money to shell out for a brand new one and this is a bit of a pain in the butt.
Thanks in advance.

I think it may be a fault in the replacement you ordered and should request a new one. The "heat" from your hand couldnt have done that, and if it did, that would have happened anyway because the internals of the phone would get much hotter

Perfect. The part definitely seemed strange from the get-go. The company offered me 10% off, which I don't really feel is fair if the part is actually defective.

Threaten to get BBB involved. That's the only way I got repair universe to send me a replacement after many emails about the matter. The digitizer they sent me had the ribbon cut nearly in half. Gave me the run around about how their stuff is fully tested before leaving the site and if I could take a picture. I told them all I wanted was my digitizer and if they couldn't honor their return policy I would call BBB and report. I was given the RMA the next email.

I agree, but like you said. When you are dealing with an internet company with no supposed phone support, sometimes that's what needs to be done. Although I did eventually find a phone number for them, I didn't need to use it before they finally made it right.

Cracks in the aluminum

Cracks in the aluminum. Just noticed today that my phone has cracks in the aluminum, i have never dropped the device and have had a Silicon cover on it.
I called the reseller and they want to send it to samsung, but that's gonna take like 2-3 weeks And samsung said that the warranty is gone, cus i have rooted it, but it has nothing to do with the software.
Anyone else that have seen this?

From CF-Root 6.4 thread:
How to uninstall
This is by no means an extensive guide for unrooting, but if you want to sell or warranty your device, I advise the following procedure:
- Use Triangle Away to reset the flash counters, and pull the battery immediately after rebooting starts
- Boot into recovery and perform a wipe, and pull the battery immediately after rebooting starts
- Go to SamMobile and get the stock firmware for your region
- Flash that stock firmware on your device
- Let Android boot, go through device setup (without doing any logins) until Android is fully usable again
- Reboot
- Wait at least 10 minutes
- Check Settings->About device->Status and make sure Device status is not "Modified"
- Perform another factory reset
- Boot into download mode and make sure the flash counter and system status are all set to official
Some of these steps may require further info, if you can't figure it out, do some more searching, or ask people who aren't me

I honestly don't know what to do, flash stock and send it to repair or just live with is :/
One it does look like a cut from the picture but visual inspection may show a crack .
What will Samsung say crack or cut when they look at it .
But you do say cracks not one crack .
Two removing traces of root is easy and returns phone to a warranty state .
So do you want to remove root return the phone and get it back in a few weeks saying not warranty its damaged .
In that respect could you not get a local store to just look at the crack first to confirm it is and save wasting time .

I have one of these too!
I have vertical CUTS at all 4 corners, where they smooshed together the pieces. There is no space between the two sides of the cut, and you can't even feel it, but it's there and visible if you look for it. My phone has been dropped a fair amount, but the cuts were there the day I got it.
"Don't worry about it" is my advice.
* BTW, yours is definitely a crack. I still just wouldn't worry about it.
I have one on the bottom right corner too. And it looks more like a joint than a crack

Don't listen to the others telling you nit to worry. If you haven't dropped it get on to the place of purchase asap. I made the mistake of not doing that and dented my phone a little after so I'm out of luck. It will split all the way through soon. The ones in the four corners r normal.

Same on mine, can't say I'm bothered though. Mine are quite obviously from manufacture.

These cracks appears in white phone only?!
Have the blue and all 4 corners have the crack. Not sure if this is consider normal! Been looking at high res photos of the phone and they aren't there, so question is how is this normal?! I will go to samsung monday and check this.
I did drop my phone. Samsung are say the cracks are from the phone been dropped.
I think it's from the over heating problem the phone got.
