I've got all the symptoms for SDS and I downloaded the eMMC check app which says I have an insane chip. I'm on the current firmware (4.1.2), so that didn't fix it for me.
How can I contact Samsung about this issue? I bought this phone from an Amazon seller.
This app only detects your hardware. It means that even if you apply a fix this app always tells you that you are insafe...
If you have an official firmware released since February, 2013 you are SAFE.
Why do you think that you have all the symptoms of SDS?
I have similar problems with my GT-N7100 which I bought from Newegg.com last November (British unit). The phone often freezes, reboots and I believe once turned itself off. Those symptoms happen several times a day and I consider this phone to be unusable at this time.
There is no US warranty and I have no clue whether anything can be done and by whom. Is this phone reparable? If yes, which outfit can do it?

Thanks for the response.
My phone is 6 months old now. It freezes and must be rebooted very often now, usually a matter of minutes. This even happens in safe mode.
I am running Perseus - alpha32 kernel, which I believe should include Samsung's SDS fix

Yeah Perseus kernel has the SDS's fix since January, 2013 so without being sure I don't think the SDS can arrive if you have this protection.
A clean installation of your system may solves your problem.
You can also try to update your firmware via OTA or Odin flash.

I saw that i have an insane chip and then your comment calmed me down :good:
If you use Perseus, reckon you're safe. Does it still exhibit SDS symptoms? I wouldn't worry, you'd be better off letting it die and getting the motherboard replaced anyways.

Yes, it still has the SDS symptoms with Perseus alpha-32. I updated to Perseus alpha-36 today, but the symptoms persisted even in safe mode. I've done a factory reset and everything is okay for now, but I'm worried that it will definitely be back. I suppose I should sent it off to Samsung just to be sure?

Let it die then. Don't try too hard to prolong SDS. It's still under warranty right? You should get a replacement easily.

What symptoms have you got - if you 're flashing ROMS/Kernels then how can it be SDS. As I understand it SDS means that your phone is a brick. Just because it's freezing or rebooting doesn't mean it's SDS - could be many things

Rampant reboots and freezes are also symptoms of a badly coded app, a faulty memory card, a bug in a custom kernel, a bug in a custom rom, a dying sim card, malware, a bad flash.. You get the point

Apologies for alarming terminology. Here is the definition of SDS I've gone by:
The Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) issue is caused by a buggy firmware (low level machine code) on the emmc of devices, specifically, a 16GB VTU00M chip with firmware revision 0xf1. The phone dies when trying to write data to an affected block. Samsung has issued a temporary fix to avoid sudden death but this is not a permanent solution. It causes a device freeze or lock-up when attempting to write to an affected block. For devices which have undergone a lot of writes before the fix, the users experience persistant freezing which may last from 2min to even an hour.

My issues seem consistent with that description. I've ruled out software bugs by trying safe mode.

Exactly! According to this definition, your phone is not showing symptoms of SDS but merely demonstrating that the fix is kicking into action. Don't you think its weird calling it a "Sudden" Death Syndrome and then thinking it should have symptoms. The irony -_-

Since you said it seemed ok after a factory reset, I was thinking it might be something else. Not saying it's absolutely not sds, but as bushako said, it seems as it might as well be the protection kicking in, it has happened a couple of times for me too.
What you could try, is taking a look at last_kmsg immediately after booting after you get a freeze. If the log has no alarms or anything out of the ordinary, chances are it's the fix kicking in and blocking the bad commands sent to eMMC.

I see what you are saying. But if the prevention for SDS makes the phone unusable, isn't this just a lesser of two evils? Wouldn't this inevitably happen again and I would be better off sending this for warranty?

Sometimes the screen of my Galaxy Nexus freaks out; it behaves as if I'm touching the screen repeatedly while I'm not. It does not happen a lot, but I think it mostly occurs after pulling down the notification menu and touching a notification message there.
I have tried to reproduce this behavior (camera ready so I can video the screen of my GN), so far no luck. Anybody else experienced this?
Of course, as soon as I'm in bed and have put my camera away I experienced the issue again.
Will try again this evening.
That really sounds like a faulty screen I'm sorry to say. I had a similar issue with my HD2 two years ago, had to send it for replacement.
Hmmm I hope not. Since it's very hard to reproduce I doubt I can prove it in order to get a replacement.
It happens to me only when I'm charging the device. Do you use custom ROM? I'm suspecting that right now.
Nope, stock rom. I haven't even rooted it yet.
Finally caught it on video! It's not very focused but it clearly shows my problem.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5_tUcosrtQ&feature=youtu.be
I don't think its a hardware problem because I'm mostly experiencing this problem at home. Today at work I used the phone the whole day without encountering this behavior. I'm 15 minutes home and the problem pops up again. Difference? At home the phone is connected to my WiFi. Any thoughts?
Does it happen when you're not holding the phone? I've had anomalies happen before when the phone is on table and not in my hand before. Or could be faulty driver for touchscreen chip.

No, it does not happen spontaneously. I happens when I'm using the phone.
I've read some threads for other devices concerning exact the same issue. There were opinions that it could be due to the static charge that gathers on the sensor.
Possible solution could be:
1) discharge the phone
2) remove the battery and wait for about 10-12 hours.
Try it may be it ill help you.

hey
my phone has been acting weird for a while now.
the phone crashes a lot, some times it freezes while scrolling, some times it shuts down, some times it restarts on its own....
i tried to root the phone and flashed it with wanam, but it didn't stop crashing, then i flashed with omega v12, but the problem still continued...
shall i rule out that this might be a software issue?
what hardware part might be causing such behavior

That doesn't sound good...
IMO it's most likely a hardware issue.
It's hard to say which part is causing this. Maybe the storage?
I hope this aren't SDS symptoms.

AFAIK if you had the SDS symptoms before the update, it is possible that you experience SDS after the 4.1.2 update.
I would backup all data, restore stock kernel/rom, unroot and return the phone for warranty.

use eMMC Brickbug to check using the memory test. In theory if it fails it is affected by SDS and your phone will die someday. If not it could be another problem. But as I said it is just "in theory", nothing 100% sure.

so, i got my phone back from the shop.( it is not the official Samsung retailer, just the shop that sold me the phone).
the guys said that they re-installed software and tried several kernels.
after a week of trials of reinstalling with no success, the guy called and said the phone is ready and working fine.
i got the phone and it worked fine for 5 min, then started acting crazy again.
i decided to root to see if i could get it going,
after several trials of rooting and un-rooting, and finally out of frustration, i knocked on the phone's back where the Mother board is located and re-rooted the phone.
suddenly the phone worked without freezing for the 5 days so far....
i am still monitoring the phone, but it seems that banging on the mother board had an effect on it (as weird and silly as it might seem)
i know that my phone fell a lot and that my son dropped it like a zillion times before it went acting crazy.....
i thought maybe something moved inside, and well, it seems i was correct (so far at least)...

Do you fancy hitting mine too?
Ive had this issue the past month, I have the insane chip aswell. Sent it off to Samsung as one day, it literally just made the screen go funny (multi colours, as if you pulled a cartridge out of the n64 or a Gameboy).
Samsung then took my warranty off, as they deemed it down to a small crack in my top right glass bit, which doesn't affect the phones use at all, as it was there for 3 months. They attempted to charge me £290 for a replacement logic board, and a new glass panel for the front, whish I think isn't fair as it wasn't the screen crack that caused the SDS on my phone.
Got mine back today, and the first thing I did was download all of the tools necessary to flash the ROM, only to find that I get a FAIL message in Odin, due to a missing PIT partition or something.
I now own a fancy paperweight, as I can only put this all down to a properly franked memory chip.
So I put my phone on charge and went to sleep, the next morning the phone's battery lamp shined green as usual when the phone was fully charged. Only it had turned itself off and it wouldn't start it again.
I haven't contacted my provider yet because i am unsure whether the warranty will cover it since I rooted it the day before, have not installed anything yet though.
I have tried removing the battery for a couple of hours without any result, I have also tried different combinations of holding down buttons without any result either.
Can it be as simple as the battery broke? How can i check if that is the case without any other battery or voltmeter etc?
Has anyone else had this problem?
I am running 4.1.2 on my 7105, flashed from ODIN about a month ago.

No i am not able to get into download mode since absolutely nothing happens when i press any button, just like as if there was no battery in the phone.
I used CF-Auto-Root-t0lte-gtn7105 to root but I don't think that this is the source of the problem since the phone died two days after i rooted.
As I said I am using the 4.1.2 official version which i flashed using odin, that was over like 2-3 months ago so I dont remember exactly which one I used but I believe it was this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2027586

Firmware you have linked which you believe to flashed is doubtfully patched for sds.
On N7100 same released in dec 12 and within few days it was withheld, may be it was not properly patched. Later release in 2013 are sds patched.
Do you remember it was somewhat leggy/freezing before this happened?
Though symptoms mimics sds, have you tried to reboot to recovery?

No freezes or anything but the day before i rooted i remember it restarted itself whilst in my pocket, was sitting still so don't think i accidentally pressed the off button, but can't know for sure.
Cant enter recovery or anything since absolutely nothing happens when i hold down up/home/power, neither if I hold down/home/power or any other combination. Absolutely no response from the phone, just as there was no battery in the phone but i can assure you that there is. Nothing happens when I connect the charger either. No lights no nothing!
If possible try to manage for different battery to just confirm it is not battery issue, and remove battery from device for a day meanwhile and try to boot after that, if no result then it's likely sds and should consult service station.

exactly the same **** happened to me too i don't know what happened, i didn't root it or did anything to it. it just randomly turned itself off and didn't start up again. then suddenly it happened to load the battery again and i was able to boot it, but here the ****ed up part came... it showed me the samsung startup logo and everything but then weird green vertical stripes(like the matrix) appeared and nothing more happened. few reboots after, same problem as in the beginning, it's not starting up again. help me please
Dear all,
I am in deep trouble , my phone was working fine yesterday night but some how today in the morning when I was trying to switch it on the phone wont respond no startup logo nothing I tried to remove the battery/ sim/ memory card but still nothing happening I tried to plug the phone to laptop but it is not responding even I connected my phone with the charger no signs is it really charging or not, but still I tried to charge the phone for atleast 7-8 hours , only thing which I am getting is the red identification light keeps blinking when I try to switch on the phone , otherwise phone seems to be completely dead.
I am rooted & I have jelly bean 4.1.1, any help in this regard will be appreciated ... because I already have void the warranty by rooting although I have set the binary counter to zero through triangle away app.
thank you very much.
I think that your phone have SDS. But in your case i would check battery and charger - if that wont help just send it to warranty (if this is SDS its hard to check that you have root

Dear member, thanks for the advise but it is not possible as my phone is not detectable by PC, so flashing is not possible until you tell me some other way.
If download mode not work in my opinion there is no way to bring it to life at home. Only replace motherboard can help.
Yes the same bug is in SGS3 (same eMMC chip on board). This is happening on 16 GB variant of sgs3 and note2. To avoid this next time use android 4.1.2 (Samsung propably fix this, - risk of SDS on newest roms are lower).
Try to check voltage on battery.

Have you ever flashed it before.. if not then you can claim warranty
If you have flashed it once or more the counter will raise and samsung might be a b*tch about it and charge you for it (like they did with me)
The thing you should not do at all if its the SDS is flash it because it will not write NAND and will always fail then

I had the same issue and its in the settings somewhere I can't quite remember where it was that I changed it

It's probably a hardware issue if you did a factory data reset and it still vibrates constantly after your done.. If you made any changes or settings adjustments then try putting them back to defaults, or uninstall anything you may have installed recently (maybe a rogue app).
You can try going to safe mode and seeing if it still vibrates all the time.
IMHO the simplest approach (if possible) is if you can get it replaced by Amazon I would just do that and not try to delve to much more into it.
Happened to me shortly after purchasing. Had to get phone replaced. Actually happened to quite a few people.

Yeah Samsung won't touch my international phone. Ubreakit said they'd fix mine, and for cheap. But fortunately for me, the seller was kind enough to replace the phone. And it stopped working after ten days of opening. Very irritating when something so simple, yet important and expected to work without issues can cause such a hassle.
