[Q] SGR Dead :(

---

Hi all,
One fine evening last week, I found my SGR switched off. Initially I thought that the battery must have drained out. But after connecting the charger it showed no activity. Windows didn detect it, rather asked for apx driver. Gave it to samsung service center n they told that the motherboard needs replacements. Now they are saying that it is diificult to get hold of, coz the model has been discontinued and that I should wait for sometime.



Has any one faced this kind of situation before?? I was using stock Indian rom witht aradat's Kernel 1.4

Hi buddy where are you located in India ? What sort of service is this ?

I also have reboots, but they are rare.

I am currently located in bhubaneswar. Gave the phone to samsung service centre

Lil bit of research

I found that apx mode is for nvidia Soc's . This mode is a very low level mode in order to write bootloaders and other stuff. That's ok. But I cant understand how on earth a normal working phone suddenly decides to go into this apx mode ?

Mine reboots once every two to three days. I have a weird feeling it is hardware related, but I can't tell for sure. (I think it reboots on regular physical impact, like placing the phone down on a table but I've been unable to reproduce the problem.) I'm holding off on calling Samsung unless the problem intensifies.

Mail the Samsung CC in India asking your money back explaining the situation.

How in the world can these guys say components are not available for a recently launched phone ?

It must be work of some employee of Samsung that its taking time for them to get you a motherboard replacement. But do mail them, you'll get their email from Samsung India's website.
