Hello,
My phone is with the most updated patch (March 1 2022).
I experience numerous bugs.
For example:
I have 2 shutter buttons on the camera.
The phone gets stuck all of a sudden and takes several minutes to be usable again.
It won't charge anymore... gives "phone's temperature is too low" error. It's 25c outside...
This is my first and last Samsung phone for sure.
In the past I had a Nokia, HTC and OnePlus. All three worked great for about 4 years each.
Samsung lasted less than 6 months. What a f#$&ing joke.

Have you tried flashing stock ROM via Odin or at least just factory resetting the device?

No I have not.
Fortunately the phone is still under warranty so I put it in a repair shop.
But, in the past I had a Nokia, HTC and OnePlus. All three lasted about 4 years.
The Samsung failed after less than half a year.
I will never buy another Samsung phone.
ok
Got the phone back from the lab.
Seems like everything is ok now, including the bugs in the camera app.
I don't think they opened the device. They just did a system update. But "better" than the OTA one.

There is no camera bug. Its a deliberate feature in the camera app to be able to position a floating shutter button where it is easier for you to tap. Its especially useful for those with small fingers. If you go to the camera settings and tap on shooting methods, you will see a toggle for floating shutter button. If its visible already, you can remove it quickly by holding on the floating shutter button and then tapping on the minus ( - ) that pops up next to it.
As for the too cold error, I have never seen that before. The fact its unique to you tells me its not a software issue (or everyone would have it) and its likely a hardware issue with your device. They may have replaced the charging board or a sensor. Bare in mind they are an official repair centre so they will return your phone with no evidence of it being opened. Every repair in the repair centre also involves making sure the phone is updated to the latest update so thats not unusual to see either. I've had them update my phone for a simple screen repair which I was furious about.
sometime factory reset helps

I just turned my phone on and now all it's showing is a gray screen (see image) below.
Even when I pull the battery, it "boots" into this. After some time I do hear the booting sound.
The phone is unlocked/rooted/s-off'ed.
When I boot with the volume button down it does show something, but it's unreadable (only showing the top 1/2 part of the 1st text line)
Anyone here who might have a clue what is wrong, and how to fix it?
Thank you.

Lol no you probably need a new digitizer/lcd panel. That's my guess

Try booting into the boot loader and see if it still does that if not your rom has gone corrupt. Superwipe and reinstall.

Looks like the LCD is damaged or the connection ribbon for the LCD is loose.
What everyone's said so far is right. Your LCD is either broken or has a loose cable.
Send it in for repairs.
I don't see why they wouldn't repair it even if you are rooted, as this is their flaw, not a result of your rooting.
But to be safe, try and flash an RUU on the phone, for now.
Thank you all for the input.
It's still withing waranty, and will be picked up tomorrow for replair!
It's still rooted.. Let's see what they are going to say.
Will keep you guys updated!
re: Will keep you guys updated!

Hi all.
Looking for some advice about what to do with my replacement n10...
I asked for a replacement of the first as there was noticeable dimming down one edge of the screen, and Google were happy to RMA.
The replacement has a better screen but 3/5 times I go to turn the screen on it stays off, and takes repeated hitting of the power button (usually three times) to get the screen on.
I thought this may be a software issue but it occurred on both stock software and cm10.1,and didn't occur on the original one.
The question is;what do I do now? I have two faulty tabs, and the new one is worse than the original. I'm worried Google will receive either back and decide the faults aren't severe enough and charge the card restocking fees, or I will receive a third with faults. Have I just been unlucky so far?
It is worth noting that the original had the seals broken on the packaging and the replacement had one seal gone.
If the screen is nice you should do a warranty repair with Samsung. Call the number on your card in the box and press the phone option and then nexus s. That should get you a rep that can help you (the tablet people have no idea how to get an RMA number for a nexus tablet).
Conversely you could just get can other RMA. Then you run the risk of getting a worse screen.

Well I went ahead and tried the RMA lottery, and boy am I glad.
In the last couple of days it has become apparent that the battery on the replacement is absolutely broken. It doesn't report correct charging levels at all, and doesn't charge properly. This is on top of the power-on button issue (which I am sure is related).

The above battery stats screenshot was taken this morning after the tablet had completely died, and been on charge overnight, switched on this morning and left for ten minutes.
Totally loopy!
I had the same problem with mine. Good screen with broken battery management. Also it would take 20 seconds for screen to turn on after hitting the power button. It would power off when I took it off the charger or sometimes show dead battery with full charge. Hope your next one works out for you.
so, bought a cheap and known "faulty" s3, when i got it it wouldn't get passed the screen below

i eventually managed to get it into download mode (took about 3 hours of pressing the same buttons time after time) and flashed a ROM via odin, after the apparently successful flash the phone reboot, time and time again for around 30 minutes, like the clown i am i removed the battery (i know i know), so now it gets to the carrier logo, then the samsung logo and thats where it stays, it can enter recovery (stock i believe) but the volume buttons do nothing, i cant for the life of me get it into download mode again, should i cut my loses or is there anything else i can try?
Sell it instead of opening multiple posts on the same subject .
not really the same though is it as it now freezes on the samsung screen.
Is it even a real S3?

A coworker had some strange GPS problems. He had bought a used S3. It wasn't obvious at first, even with my real S3 next to it.
A look behind the battery cover showed it's true face, a fake S3.
On youtube there are enough videos that point out fake form real. Have a quick look and know for sure. It could help you find the error.

im 100% positive its genuine (yes i have checked the vids).

I would say, download the rom again and flash it again.
tried a couple now, always gets stuck at the sansung screen
So I've an S6 Edge that was in a case, but accidentally got put on top of the car after the dog park, fell off the roof, and was ran over by another car. Didn't actually realise that until I got home, and couldn't fine the phone. Searched for finding a lost Android phone, went to https://android.com/find and sure enough, the phone was somewhere only 10 minutes away, and seemed to be in a shop close to where I had been driving.
Got the phone, after nice people had handed it in, but also after it had been literally run over by a car, and now looks like

The phone *wasn't* insured, and after calling a few repair shops, not only did they quote €250-300, they also all have the policy of wiping the phone before / during after the repairs (been through this before and it's an absolute PITA).
Nearly worse than that, the phone had Google Cloud Backup turned off, didn't have the Samsung Account connected to the phone, (don't know if the bootloader is locked or unlocked), isn't rooted, and has adb turned off / my machine isn't authenticated to adb to it.
I've tried booting into the bootloader or whatever Samsung's thing is, but no matter what no device shows up on fastboot / adb devices. The devices shows up in Odin, after I do some combination of key presses, but I get no confirmation of anything from the phone.
What I want is, somehow to get the photos on the phone off (specifically the pictures of my puppy who's 6 months, and my niece who's 8 months ), and run a WhatsApp backup to my Google Account, before swapping the sim card to a backup phone.
Here's what the dog (when small, medium and current sized) looks like, and the niece,
I would really, really appreciate the help. I *know* better steps should have been taken when the phone was working, but we are where we are now, and I can only take steps from here. If someone, anyone can get me to being able to access it via adb, there are plenty of apps around which let me control the phone remotely via adb, but how to enable adb from the state it's in? I really, really don't know.
Thanks guys, again, appreciate any help.
Hi!
Weird case here. I used my Samsung Galaxy S9 plus as normal about a month ago when I ran out of power. I connected the original Samsung charger and chared it fully. When I powered up again there was no WiFi and no cellular network. I tried to: reboot, reset network settings, reboot again, but no luck. I then used about forever to tidy up images and files before I took a full backup and then reset the phone to factory defaults. All functions was normal, except no network. The reset to factory defaults didn't help either.
To I via the online shop made a support case - and sent it for repairs. I thougt this was a clear warranty case - phone beeing under a year and everything.
A couple of weeks later the workshop told me the damage could only happen if the phone was ran in a microwave oven. Well, it didn't. I have worked with computers and phones for more than 20 years - and of course I would not put it in the microwave oven. I do not have kids or anyone else that would do this as a prank on me.
And to be frank - I can not understand how the phone can be undamaged in all other aspects than the network antenna connectors beeing burned after running it in the microwave. I asked Samsung on the phone today if this was the case, but did not get a clear answer.
So do anyone know, is it even possible to ruin just the antennas with a microwave oven, leaving everyting else on the phone intact? Have anyone seen this happening?
And how can Samsung claim this is the only way this damage could have happened when it didn't?
I am so frustrated at Samsung!

The problem with the WiFi and Cellular network seems like a IMEI-Error. (You can see your IMEI in your Phone-Settings) I also think, that the first part, that would break in a microwave, is the USB-Port, because of the "open" wires.
Sorry for my bad English
Thanks. The wifi and cellular is burned all right. But nothing else. I got the pictures from Samsung now.

You have plastic melted, so I agree with Samsung. You did something =)
