If you have not Flashed anything then yes. 30 days in store past that warranty exchange. If you have flashes roms then you may want to flash stock with odin and start fresh
Captivate
Cog 2.2

Its still a stock phone and the damn thing keeps shutting down

Take it back, and keep taking it back until you get one that doesn't shut down.

No reason to keep that phone then. That is not normal behavior.

My phone was originally doing the same thing until I flashed Cognition - then the issue went away. Seems these phones are really finicky on how software is loaded onto the phone - even the stock ROM.
But.. if your within 30 days.. no sense not to exchange it for one that won't shutdown.

Sending my phone in for repair

Hellow , im sending my phone in due to my speaker, going in and out. I assume I just flash back to stock. But is that, the only thing I need to do? Thanks

Stock, master clear, should be fine do not over estimate the knowledge of the people who work at at&t

at&t guys dont even really check out the firmware and stuffs like that if its just a speaker replacement or something like that. just flash back to stock, master clear, and wait forever to get your phone back.

guess I should have told u that I'm sending to samsung... Does that matter?

when you flash back to stock and do the master clear, you should be good enough.

Thanks for the reply everyone.

Aw crap.

Finally after 3 Amoled screen phones prior to this one, I have my first ever case of "burn in." shows up kinda purple/pink on white backgrounds. Off to Samsung customer service chat I go.

I've had a repair center tell me they will swap out a refurb for it.

Samsung just gave me a number to call during the week. Will stop by a repair center tomorrow.
Would they be bothered with it being rooted? I had a few screens on my evo replaced under warranty and was on MIUI both times and they said nothing.

Not really but I would go back to stock just to be safe.

I agree. Put it completely back to stock so your chances of them saying they refuse to replace it because you rooted and put a custom ROM on it are virtually zero. Don't give them any excuse to say no because you're too lazy to put it back to 100% stock. Make sure you do a factory full reset after PC Odin back to stock and remove your SD card before bringing it in. Better to be safe than sorry.

So samsung wants me to ship my phone to them so they can repair the screen. Will only take about 11 to 14 days!
Yeah, not gonna do that. Going to a store tomorrow.

by using ROM tool box (by Jrummy) it’s an awesome app but I decided to play around with the custom font option and when I tried to install another custom font it decided to reboot my phone to the LG logo and from there the screen goes black with the little indicator light on the upper right of the phone flashing multiple colors.
Fixes that i have attempted to apply where:
-multiple reboots nothing happened same results
-let the battery drain out of the phone then let it charge for a bit and restart it with no luck
-go into recovery mode to clear partition and reboot, but no luck
-go into recovery mode and apply factory reset but no luck
At the end of all these attempts I continue to get the LG LOGO and after that has played out i get a black screen with my notification indicator flashing multiple different colors.
I bet if I had an unlocked boot loader with a custom recovery I wouldn't be in this situation right now. Now I have to go thru hyelton Guide on how to revert back to Stock Firmware, and to my new-bish eyes it doesn't look easy.

I’m glad I’m putting $10 towards the bounty, but if I was in a better financial situation I would most definitely put in a $100

Damn sorry to hear that man!!!!!
We need more donations people !!!!!

We probably don't. It sounds like they already have this accomplished and are polishing it up still.

I went into the freenode chat last night and asked how the unlocked boot loader was coming and said I could offer assistance because I have a spare g flex that I can brick or what not, and I was told to be patient that it was coming.

I just went through the process. I had a soft brick last night from a build.Prop edit couldn't fix it until just now. LG made it tougher, but not horrible. Follow the guide step by step and if you need help post in that thread I'll subscribe to it or pm me, don't want to clutter up this thread.
By the way great to hear a solution is in sight. Remember when this happens, dint take any otas.... Like ever afterwards.

So far I was told loki is comming

[Q] Soft Brick after Dead Battery

Ok so I had my Note 3 battery completely drain and now am soft bricked and it freezes at ATT logo.
note 3
ATT
rooted on 4.3 JB
titanium backup installed
I have tried everything to no avail. Reflashing, factory reset, everything and am completely lost. I tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559715 , but the microsoft visual stuff would never install??
I have owned iphones for 5 years and recently switched to droid again. I am 7/10 on a technical scale with computers. Any and all help is greatly appreciated as I am stuck with a paper weight for now.

Anyone? Please?

Thats not what I was hoping for lol will they give me any problems?

They might if they see it is rooted. Due to liability
But these guys aren't exactly high end technicians with high paying jobs just normal people say please and explain they can't make it worse.

Wow. Tricky one right there. Usually a stock firmware flash would do it. Anything else that you've done to your phone before the battery went dry ?
