its been almost three days that at times i am not able to browse on my s3 and none of the web related apps work i know pretty strange.
so today i decide to take my s3 at a service centre in crawford market mumbai .i explained that guy wht the problem is and he told me he will flash the handset to which i gave a nod.
after the flashing the issue got resolved but then again it started and at that same moment i got a notification for software update THAT guy over der told me" dont do software update orelse again u will face the same issue there is is no need for software updates".
i was freakin stunned wen he told me this and i told him hey r u serious do u know wht u talkin and i told him u mean never do a software update on this phone just to keep this thing working and he said yes coz the software updates overwrites a few important file which i dont even use and bcoz of that this data issue happens .
finally i asked him y dont u simply put ur sim card in my cell which he did and then my data connection started workin fine and i also got that Hspsa thing i simply had to replace my faulty sim card. .guyz can u imagine a service centre guy talkin like that ??? regarding the software update thing huhhhhh....
There does exist ****ty service reps everywhere, not just Samsung. Some service desks pretty much just hire the first people who apply for the job and then run them through "If customer asks X, give answer Y"
One of the Nokia service centre people I worked with always maintained that the N70 sluggishness is due to the software and I should just wait for the next update. Which never came because they stopped making them for the phone, ages ago.
The thing about emerging markets, like that of smartphones in this case, is that there simply aren't enough competent people in the necessary fields. Your story as well as the stupidity involved in awarding overly-general patents are clear examples of this.
It's been said: "stupidity and hydrogen are them most common elements in the universe".
and then Einstein enforced the idea: “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
But my favorite quote is this, and this really applies to the service desk guy who serviced your phone:
“Stupidity is the same as evil if you judge by the results.”
Not surprising. I always find, by far the most frustrating part is not that you know more than they do, but that they're not even smart enough to realise you know more than they do, even though to a third-party looking on it would be blatantly obvious. Or that continue to treat you like a buffoon asking stupid questions like "Did you try restarting your phone?"
My experience with 80% of network sales reps and staff, and manufacturer/service centre staff has been this. I'm always actually amazed when I, by chance get a staff member who, when I say something like "The phone loses signal when I move from one cell to another", actually knows what that means.
Also, if it was a SIM problem, then I assume you didn't test it on WiFi first? It's customers doing things like this that allow such incompetent people to keep their jobs: the vast majority of people going in will doubtless have some sort of "problem" that can be fixed so easily, that they can simply skate by on common sense, instead of actual knowledge.
Trust me they r totally insane dey care a big f for the customers and think dey r freakIn too smart .such [email protected]@@@k [email protected]@@s

damn its India! i expected this once i read the title. Not only in india , many countries have the same problem, most of the customer care people are dumb. ITs time for samsung to train them or recruit people with good knowledge.

lol, yeah being a technical person it's often really frustrating when the service center person know less than me and I have to explain the issue and the solution to him and tell him what to do.
but seriously the Indian call centers don't get a bad rep for nothing, so I'm not surprised that in person they're still just as incompetent.

hey i have DOPOD 838 PRO and i wanna change the IMEI number.... Iunderstand all the risks involved in it but i still wanna do so. So anyone can help me with this plzzzzzzzzzzzz
I doubt anyone here would openly suggest a way of doing so as it's illegal.
And all your other posts suggest something very fishy....

There are lots of "good" reasons, like "I stole the phone and hope to hide the fact" or "I want to defraud the manufacturer" etc...

Oh, and FWIW, I thought US law specified "ESN" and therefore I thought I'd read that IMEI changing isn't actually illegal in the US. Of course this was a while ago, and I am *NOT* a lawyer anyway.
Sorry zahirsayed, this forum is NOT the place to discuss this stuff.

Yep, definatly a case of "this handset is not yours" fever here i think
So, first you need help unlocking the keypad and now you want to change the IMEI?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284549
Fishy.
Easy and legal way is this - unplug halfway through an update, or fry the board somehow, send it in for a warranty repair with proof of legal purchase, and they will replace the board which also changes the IMEI - there you go, a legal and easy way to do it.

OMG!!!!!!! so now i have been tagged as a THEIF..... I asked for keypad solution just because someone REALLY changed it........ and i was just curious about IMEI number like wht if i change it........ people here come out with their own conclusions just cause they feel something is fishy here...... well a simple answer here would be that " NO CANT HELP COZ ITS ILLEGAL " and not that blaming me for being a theif..... i needed help so thats why i post my problems here and first time i got som real help...... i was online to post for a new ROM installation help but now i feel that i shouldnt post anything here...... I am sure i am not the first one to ask for an IMEI change.... all those who asked for it were they thieves too....... ah come on........ i got a new piece and i was so glad to see all these possibilities that can be done with my cell and thats the reason why had post such a request this time........ sorry once again XDA-DEVELOPERS....... u can ban me if u want.......thnxxx
Your first post suggests that you wanted it changed desperately. Now, in the post above, you say you're just being curious....
Something veeeeeery fishy, methinks.
Fantastic idea, you should be banned. Being what you are you will probably reregister. My suggestion to you is that you send the fone back to the poor guy who lost it. When you lost your phone didn't you wish a decent fellow found it and handed it in. Go on and do the decent thing.
The only "legit" reason I can think of to change an IMEI is if you live in Turkey and bought your device in another country. A stupid law there puts honest people in a very difficult situation.
To be fair lads, as far as I'm concerned, we can discuss mechanisms for changing the IMEI, as it's an aspect of xda developing, and the founders of this forum did some of the seminal published work in the field.
However, legitimate reasons for imei changing are limited or questionable.
zahirsayed: if you can make a good argument for why you need the IMEI changing, some people may help you out. Otherwise, it's normally implied that the obvious reason to change the IMEI is as a result of a friend of a friend giving a friend a phone... we don't promote that kind of immoral behaviour. But we're all for bestiality...

@ josephicon plzzzz u don have to decide that i should be banned or not from this forum coz u r just a junior member like me and that decission is of the moderators.... so u can keep ur expert comments to urself.... well i wanted to change IMEI just like that really vijay555 trust me.... well i don mind if i cant change it ..... well in my country IMEI is still an unknown fact so i don have to worry abt it even if i stole any device..... if would have stolen the device i wouldnt have been askin such questions openly........ plzzz stay in ur senses....

WHAT YOU GUYS WHO GAVE NEGATIVE COMMENTS HAVE DONE SO FAR?
AT LEAST I HAVE TRIED TO BE A 5-YEARS-OLD KIT TO TELL SE MY WISH.
Hi all,
Few days ago,I left a comment on the SE product blog,realating to the "8mb file" on the SE developers.com and a SE support engineer emailed me and it probably shows that SE KNOWS NOTHING OF OUR CUSTOM ROM??
Perhaps he is pretending.....
Here is the email and my reply and I am trying to persuade SE releasing the bootloader.

Well he's definitely going to think twice about what he replies (if he even replies) now that you've posted his email for the whole world to see... you should have waited for his reply first
Ummm...you were sent an email because they thought you were a dev and wanted to give some light dev support; not read you rant about our gripes with SE. The enlarged bolded red font also makes you look like an immature idiot. Would it have killed you just to answer the questions?
Btw. TAKE OUT HIS FREAKING EMAIL ADDRESS. Seriously, wtf man.
Oh wow and not only that you specifically name people at xda developers andxda-developers as an entitt. that really makes us look mature so sony ericsson
Well done youve just helped this sight lose some of credibility
I'll be honest here, I wouldn't bother to answer your email if I were him. First of all your email shows the immaturity of your writing. Second of all, you are asking the wrong questions to the wrong guy. He is just a support engineer who took the time and tried to help you with your question ( the first one only ), he doesn't know about SE future plans, even if he does, do you think that he is stupid enough to give you answers so you can come here and expose them?
Come on get serious man
This is so stupid man... how old are you? like 5 yrs old? Come on..

+1 on the delete thread request. I see that the original poster has hidden his email address from the pictures of the email, but has not afforded the same courtesy to the SE Dev who was going out of his way to try to help.

If you don't like it,fine.Originally I just want to share the news that they might not know what our devs are doing and all of you concern of my reply.
Like I told you, it won't work.
Anyway, for your future's sake, when you need to send a formal mail to make enquiries or requests from anyone, PLEASE USE YOUR REAL NAME. Anonymity using codenames/nicknames like Speak_Now won't let the other party take you seriously.
You're not a member of the X-Man. Nor from the Avengers. Neither are you from the Justice League. So use your real name.
Please don't be the next Edison Chen and embarras Hong Kong's name to the world again. -_-

Nope, I don't wanna hack my phone.
And my wish is for kids like you to be contented with 2.1 and stop all this nonsense.
You better work on your grammar if intend on getting into college. As for your hopes of this working...thanks to disrespectful immature pinheads moves like this, SE probably has adopted a "Never negotiate with terrorist policy". What was your intention when posting this? You didn't even wait for his answer. All I see here is a dumb kid trying to show off what little knowledge he has. Why would you attempt to embarrass this developer when his only mistake was having the professional courtesy to answer your question in the first place? I know what I'd do if I was him. I'd call your parents and ask them to teach you some manners.
The hackers just won't give poor Sony a break, will they? Following the infamous PSN breach last month and an attack on the company's Greek online music service earlier this week, Sony Ericsson has now seen another intrusion that extracted personal data of more than 2,000 Canadian Eshop customers. Fortunately, the company claims that passwords taken were encrypted and no credit card details were lost, but this is still worrisome nevertheless. Right now, the Eshop service has been taken off line -- for the sake of Sir Howard and his Japanese chums, let's just hope that this will be the last Sony breach we hear about.

Not everyone lives online, alot of normal people just drop the odd tweet or message.
Should they be punished?
I spend alot of time online cuz i live miles away from cities and there's very few people here to talk to.
Why should people feel threatened online.
Maybe Santa "Satan" is making a list and checking it twice?
I suppose there is a little bit of an upside to this. This all started with Sony suing GeoHot. Hopefully they'll learn their lesson and stop ****ing with developers and maybe they'll start being more open with devices (PS3). There's the chance this could spill over to SE and we might finally see more unlocked bootloaders etc.

Hello,
I've found Samsung Galaxy S III White in the bar at Budweis (Southern Bohemia, Czech Rep.) yesterday... So i've picked it up and decided to find its rightful owner... BUT...
It seems like some gipsy put a great effort in attepmt to bypass IMEI validation... the IMEI is blank (0049....) and so the serial number, the white sticker (don't know how to tell it in english ) behind battery is missing... wifi mac adress is apparently spoofed (vendor ID is Realtek, should be Samsung) similar story with bt mac... so i didn't went to police... they would take it from me and put it in the shelf forever...
If you know someone who was around budweis and lost or got stolen white SGSIII, pm me please... Albeit rendered unusable by some d**khead, you might contact samsung to fix your phone up, it might not be that much money compared to value of the phone...
Be prepared to answer few questions about the phone, i need a proof that you (or your friend who claims that the phone belongs to her/him) is rightful owner... (that's why i'm not posting photos here)
PS: if someone knows how to recover IMEI from totally blank EFS without backup (at least read it maybe it's printed on PCB or something...), i'm all ears, it might help a lot... The police should be able to find the owner using IMEI...
Found phone in a bar? Very cliche Maybe it's the s4 prototype?
Seriously, well done for being so righteous. There are not a lot of guys like you out there unfortunately.
It would be a deathwish to scream "hey i'm the one who stole ur phone from ur pocket! and then fcked it up hard cause i didn't know that even 3310 had IMEI and was rendered useless after theft! Come and punch me in mah face!"
The more likely is the story that someone thought that it's not hard nut to crack, then done his job on this poor hardware, gave up and decided to bury evidence by wiping it from fingerprints and leaving it somewhere where sooner or later anyone find it and will try similar approach as him...
Maybe my righteous behavior have origin in having Xperia S, which i personally love and would be mad as hell if something like this happened to me...
Nice to see there is some honor and decency left in this world, well done OP

Hello,
I've found Samsung Galaxy S III White in the bar at Budweis (Southern Bohemia, Czech Rep.) yesterday... So i've picked it up and decided to find its rightful owner... BUT...
It seems like some gipsy put a great effort in attepmt to bypass IMEI validation... the IMEI is blank (0049....) and so the serial number, the white sticker (don't know how to tell it in english ) behind battery is missing... wifi mac adress is apparently spoofed (vendor ID is Realtek, should be Samsung) similar story with bt mac... so i didn't went to police... they would take it from me and put it in the shelf forever...

Great idea but unfortunately the data partition was erased, possibly because SGS III as i've learned by browsing settings have some anti-theft functionality in it, and the person who stole it had pretty comprehensive knowledge about how android works, so wiping data was possibly one of the first things he has done... also the phone is obviously rooted and since it uses pretty much stock ROM (its not even deodexed...) it was possibly required to ruin it the way it is...
Maybe its not visible very well but does anyone have any idea where IMEI could be when mtp partition is wiped? The phone's warranty is screwed up as it doesnt have the sticker below battery so i'm willing to open if anyone is positive that it's written somewhere on ie. pcb but i personally doubt it cause i've never seen it before and would be very surprised to see it now so i don't even bother putting it apart as i might harm the poor device even more...

Post #11 makes no sense. You said you picked up the phone in post #1 and in post #11 you're talking about theft? I smell a rat.

Try reading properly, she found it in a bar, and concluded it had been stolen and abandoned as the thief obviously couldn't get it to work, or tried and messed up.
Please, guys... maybe my english is not that brilliant, but i believe it's clearly stated
...and the person who stole it...

As i've said, it was really messed up by some tard... dunno why he actually bothered removing that sticker below battery...
Why are you so sure the phone belongs to a person? The IMEI being 0049... and no sticker could point to it being a shop demo model, open the phone, look at the flash chip and see if there is a green or white sticker with the words PAP.
Impossible... shop demo models at least here in czech republic are allways units intended for sale by manufacturer... also they are perfectly secured and close to shop personnel in case that someone gets that fancy... we have a lot of thieves in czech republic unfortunately... but i'll try to put it apart in case i find something useful...
edit: no such sticker (or any sticker at all) found,,, reassembled...
