rishisuri 16 Report post Posted May 2, 2011 i called up samsung US cust.care and had a open chat with the guy that i am from india and was using epic here in india which some how i have bricked and won't start what can be done about it. can i send it for repairs , he checked the meid and said that i was in warranty and i will have to send the handset to US , he said that the handset will go back to its original state that is locked with sprint and they won't be able to ship it back to india, so they need a local US address for shipping it back , which will be done within 5 days of recieving the handset by the company. i told them that it was fine with me and i gave them a local US address, he lodged a complaint and gave me complaint no. which he said must be stated on the pack and in the pack in which i am sending the handset. the handset was to be sent without battery ,back cover and the sd card. i.e. just the hanset. on disconnecting the phone i recieved 2 mails , one from samsung and 2nd. from UPS. In which my ticket no., the shipping address and all the details were given . it was something like this Ticket Number Please use the "Ticket Number" shown above on all communications with Samsung concerning your service.

Repair Fee LCD Repair Fee Subtotal Tax: $0.00 : $0.00 : $0.00 : $0.00 $0.00* Your handset may be in warranty by date; however your handset may be out of warranty by Condition. The Samsung Warranty clearly states that Out of Warranty repairs will incur a repair fee. * After the product repair is completed, Samsung will charge the repair cost. Total Amount ChargedUPS Total Repair Total: $0.00 : $0.00 $0.00Shipping Guide Line1. To help expedite service, write the RMA number (400 ticket) on at least three sides of the box. 2. Do not ship any of the accessories with the phone. We are not liable for any lost accessories (ie. Battery, headset, memory card, etc.) UNLESS the issue is power related (charging, power cycle, heat, etc.) and in that case please include the battery and any chargers being used with the phone. 3. Use a box with adequate padding to prevent any loss or damage product(s). 4. Avoid using the original box since the phone will be shipped back in a different package. 5. If you choose not to use your provided e-label, please insure your product and use a shipper that provides a tracking number. 6. Send phone within 10 days to avoid expiration of e-label. 7. The turn around time for a phone repair accessory change is 5 ? 10 business days, not including shipping. We would advise you to call back after the turn around time has expired if you haven’t received your product. 8. Phones will be restored back to original factory settings during the repair process. All information (contacts, pictures, texts, music, ringtones, applications, etc.) added to the phone will be lost. 9. The owner should be present at the time of delivery. A signature is needed in claiming the package. I checked with UPS and was told that this airway bill was meant for shipping within US. So i sent my phone with the parents of my friend to US. at the same time i opened a account on samsung US site with all the phone details and my complaint was auto included in my account as soon as i inserted my meid and registerd it at the site. my friend handed over the phone to UPS which was delievered to samsung, and i recieved a mail for that from samsung stating that the package has been recieved. after 5 days i again recieved a mail from samsung stating that the phone has been shipped back after repairs. My friend got the delievery on the 3rd. day and as his father was coming back to India after a few days , he sent it back to me in india. thats it . now i am having it registered and looking for someone who is flying to US for a few days so that i can send and other handset which i just bricked there. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harshal 11 Report post Posted May 3, 2011 The battery drain is becoming a little worse and unbrearabble. Planning to do a factory reset. Just wanted to check 1 thing. I have done a backup with MyBackup Pro and Backup Master. I am not worried about the contacts and calendar. However, will these apps help me restore those apps back that I wish to with all the settings with all their glory? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sgiitk 32 Report post Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) Axiously waiting for my Epic 4G to come back after repairs. Hetal shipped it out on the 2nd and is in transit from Delhi-Kanpur at the moment. Two queries: 1. Considering it has Gorilla Glass any advantage of protector film or Otterbox? 2. Has anybody managed toget Kies working. I could not do so on wither the 4G or even the Galaxy 551 (for contacts). Edited May 5, 2011 by sgiitk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
digitalnirvana 646 Report post Posted May 5, 2011 See this MIUI ROM for Galaxy S I900 brilliant work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992251 If only this could be ported to Epic, ahmgsk (member here too) has been working on one but it is not yet as complete.

digitalnirvana 646 Report post Posted May 5, 2011 I am not rooted. Have read that TB is good only for the root version. You are correct in your case my backup pro would suffice and for messages etc. you can also use SMS backup and restore and G backup full. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
digitalnirvana 646 Report post Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) Have been having very poor battery life. Charge dropped by 40% in 5 hours with no calls/data. Battery lasts around 10 hours with 1 hour of data/WiFi, 15 minutes of calls, 30 minutes on NFS, no Bluetooth. Stock EC05 with battery calibration done. Rooted with stock kernel. Set CPU conservative mode. Running services are mostly touchdown, executive assistant (uninstalled just now), maps (how to disable?), DRM (frozen through TB), SNS (frozen through TB), voicemail (uninstalled through TB), kaspersky, lookout, droid stats and TB scheduler. Spare parts screen shot showing phone wake. Please help. Edited May 7, 2011 by dipanlahiri Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
