I have the 4.1.2 since february and everything seemed to be great until 2 weeks ago. Since media scanner drained my battery, i decided to go for a hard reset. Set up my phone and everything was ok for less than a week, when i got abroad. I had problem everywhere to connect to wifi hotspots as phone crashed right after the phone was connected. I tried with 3G and there were the same problems. I inspected some app conflict (although i've been using these apps for a long time) and went for a hard reset again. It seems that i got over the problem but after a week using my phone (not even installing all my apps) same thing started to happen again. I'm sure it's not an app conflict since i also can't wipe internal sd since it says something about bad blocks. Moreover i cant delete some files in the einternal sd as file explorer says that they can't be deleted. What's your opinion about it? Do i have to go to the service?

Which rom kernel ? Stweak settings undervolt undetclock ??

I think media scanner service and samsung video player causes many problems and maybe are responsible for sd card corruption. I saw samsung video player to working in background with no reason when the phone was charging (informed many sds when phone was charging) cpu was hot at 80-90% for some time as reported by watchdog and also media scanner service after disconnection from pc to use 60-70% of cpu I think is necessary to freeze samsung video player and disable the media scanner service. Drains battery means that working all time at background and this also means that your phone is in high temperature all time and if you put it in charger even more high temperature. High temperature can corrupt sd card, any sd card not only n7100's.

This is for sure neither high sophisticated nor 100% precise, but even if you double, tripple, quadruple .... the result, it remains a minor risk.
Having said this, I cross my fingers, cause I have an affected chip as well dated 8/2012

There is 0.01% chances of Female to Male HIV transmission per act, if you had unprotected vaginal sex with HIV positive woman! and you say 1% is a MINOR risk!

To be honest the phone was never hot and up to now the sd seems to be working fine. I also tested without the sd card and the phone also froze
