Dead A100

I have a A100 which will not turn on, all I get is the power light and when I press the home button it responds sometimes!
I am rooted, unlocked boot loader, etc will this cause any problems if I send it out for repair?

If its in failsafe no they won't know they just replace the board and send it back. If its showing the Acer screen they'll know and probably charge for repair.

Thanks for the info Pio! I contacted BBY where I bought it and thought I'd see if they exchanged it. I didn't think they would, but hey beats waiting and no they wouldn't!

Took about 10 days when I sent mine out. Doing ups ground insured was $25 and they paid return. It went over a couple weekends so actual time was 14 days
Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.

I'm sending mine out today, it should arrive Wednesday. I'm figuring it will take about 3 weeks turn time. I insured for $250 and with ups ground it was I think $15.00. I believe I over estimated the weight, owe well. Time to pull out my old Lenovo tablet PC.

[Q] Power Button Issue

This all started yesterday morning. My phone randomly reboots, often after hitting the power button. The power button will not turn the screen on or off so I have to use screen on/off apps but they are buggy and this is frankly becoming a ridiculous hassle. Anyone know a fix or have a suggestion on my course of action?

Take it to Sprint or file a claim with asurion. Sounds like a hardware problem. Maybe do a battery pull and see if it helps. Are you on stock or a custom rom?

Custom rom. I've had this phone rooted since last christmas when I got it and never had the problem before up until now. I tried a few different roms to see if maybe it was just the rom causing reboots but that was to no avail

Yea replacing it is a temp fix because it will just happen again. Idk how many phones I replaced and they always come back. Ughh this phone needs a real fix soon or to be pulled from the market.

Also, if you did it through the app, I've heard a lot of reports lately of people bootlooping after updating their recovery.
So if you can get it recognized in ODIN, flash a recovery through that and then see if you can get into it

I think i did the same. i was installing liquidsmooth for the S3 and went to reboot it and bam! bricked. i realized i did not do a wipe i just did an install on top of the rom. I have since then tried all button combos but no luck. I have installed odin and seems like when i plug in the phone to the computer and hold VOL UP+home+power my PC recognizes it but i dont think odin does. So I plan on going and buying one off craigslist and activating it in the morning if i cant do anything by then.

FYI if you had a hard brick call Samsung and tell them it just stopped working and they will send you a box pre paid to send your phone in and a refurbished phone for your replacement. I end up getting a new phone as a replacement as I bricked mine a few weeks after the phone can out. I did this three times and the last time got a refurbished one. You don't pay nothing and the phone come in about a week the only thing that stuck is you have to setup your phone all over again. There really nice on the phone and didn't ask me about flashing or rooting my phone they just tried to have me trouble shoot the phone which I couldn't. Oh one thing our phone I's covered for one year manufacture warranty that has nothing to do with the carrier.

Please do not encourage other members to commit fraud.

Whether or not they do replace it is irrelevant. When you decided to root your phone, you voided any and all claims on your warranty (which covers manufacturers defects only). If all of the people who hard-brick their phones claim it on the sprint warranty, you'll see a drastic increase in one (or all) of the following:
Phone Costs
Plan pricing
TEP Costs
"Premium Data" charges
By "claiming ignorance," you are willfully misrepresenting your situation to Sprint, with the intent to deceive Sprint so that they may pay for your mistake. This, by definition, is fraud. Now, you probably won't be sitting in front of a Grand Jury because of one (or three) replaced phones, but it honestly speaks volumes to your moral character if you see no problem with this.
What you're doing is passing the buck on your mistake off to Sprint. Sprint, in turn, will pass that cost onto us. Please don't recommend this course of action again.

[Q] How to find T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 is refurbished

Hi,
I got a Samsung Galaxy S4 from T-Mobile. I got a problem with that it switched off automatically and did not turned on. When I took that to store, they removed the back case, removed the battery and put it back. It started to work fine. But they processed an exchange.
I received a exchange device without back case and battery. They wanted me to use the back case and battery from old device and send back the old device.
I am not sure if it is a refurbished device or not. how to find it out? I tried with #RTN# and LaunchPro methods. nothing worked out.
Appreciate the help..
Thanks

Not necessarily, if there havent been enough returns to be refurbished yet, because its only been out a short time, they will send out new ones in plain packaging.

I asked the customer care and asked if it is a refurbished one. They told it is a brand new one. As long as it does not cause any problem, I am fine. But it is nice to find if it is refurbished or not.
And also, since they did not send the battery, I cannot move the data, contacts and files from old phone to new phone.
Is there any way to take backup of my old phone to computer like we do for iPhone?

Er, turn old phone on with battery, plug it into a USB port. Any powered USB port. Leaving it plugged in, remove the battery. Phone will stay on. Turn new phone on. there, you got two 'on' phones.
I'd use Titanium Backup to get all data from old one to new one, personally. but I'm sure there's other methods out there. :good:

Refurb units have a tendency to crap out early and have issues. I have had two refurb phones, a RAZR and an HTC windows phone.
The battery sucks on the RAZR, worse than it should. It overheats frequently and I used to get screen temperature warnings while watching a video or playing a game.
The HTC's screen never did work quite right, and then it started making phantom calls after a couple of months.
I've heard almost every refurb unit has some sort of issue.
And, besides, if you had just bought a $700 phone, wouldn't you want a new one to replace the one you just bought,.

Did you bother to read terms? Clearly states keep your cover and battery. T-mobile has always done this...nothing new.
And as stated, if you can't tell what's the difference?

Bunk. Depends on who's doing the refurbishing. I've had many refurb electronics and they've worked at least as well as new ones. If it's a refurb from a manufacturer then it's gone through another round of QA testing and is likely to have a lower failure rate overall than new units.
As I said, if you can't tell the difference then it doesn't matter. If it's obviously used then that's another matter.

It greatly depends on what brand the device is. For example most of my home electronics are refurbished since they cost half the price. My wife's iPod is refurbished and I couldn't tell the difference if you put an gun to my head.
But an HTC phone on the other hand? Never again would I accept a refurbished HTC device. I had a MyTouch4G go bad and need to be replaced. T Mobile sent me a refurbished one. That broke. New refurbished one. Broken out of the box. Another refurbished one, bad screen. Another refurbished one, the camera wasn't physically installed. Then they gave me a brand new Sensation because of the trouble. It was a nightmare because HTC does a crappy job of returning their stuff.
It also depends on why the unit is refurbished. If you return a phone they can't sell it as new, even if nothing is wrong with it. So they check it out and make sure its all working then they call it refurbished. That phone is probably fine. But if its a warrant replacement because something is broken, the manufacturer might do a crappy job of fixing it. You don't want that one.
But all refurbs go in the same pile so there is no way to know if you got a return or a formally broken one.
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.

nope. cant see a thing. ohh. but, if they fix the screen, they must turn it on and see wether it's working or not. i use joeldroid and when booting, after galaxy note 2 word, google logo will come up. will they notice that the device is rooted or not?

If your screen is dead, they can't check if the phone is rooted until they fix the screen
Even if they fix the screen, they will most likely be too lazy to check if its rooted.

You could try removing the marker with something, and then try sending to the Store you bought it from.
The thing is, with a phone this expensive, no one will give up easily, if it was a 100-200$ phone you would get a replacement no doubt...

Guess i'll jus go fix the lcd only since there is sound coming when i push the power button. they said it will cost about 400$ to repair it. 200$ for the lcd and 200$ for the main board. i think they just want it to be original just as new. that's why they want to change the main board. what do you think?
