[Q] I think my phone died... - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! Frist of all, I want to say that I'm new and I just learned this page from Google when I searched for a situation like mine.
I have Samsung Galaxy S Advance.
Back in January, when the new Russian firmware came out, I updated my phone via odin, successfully.
Yesterday, I updated again with the newer Italian firmware successfully. I reset it in order to work better and then I reinstalled the apps that I wanted. (I reset it becasue I have many apps that I didn't want)
Anyway, the phone worked fine for almost 24 hours. When my phone turned off 'cause of the battery, I charged it and then I turned it on fine.
The next morning I unplagged it from the charger and it was fine.
After half an hour that I wanted to call someone, it didn't work. I was pressing thw power button all over again and nothing.
I tried to put it on download mode etc. and nothing with none of them.
I seems to me dead.
I read stuff you said to other people about up volume, down etc. I tried everything, but nothing.
Is there anything else that I can do?
Please help me.

i think they can,but just say the phone died and nothing else..even if they get to know, as this is the stock firmware from Samsung, your warranty still holds good..that is not a problem..

it doesn't void your warranty as long as it is a stock firmware..
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda premium

The phone does absolutely nothing. I tried to charge it for about an hour, nothing appeared. I tried to connect it with PC, nothing happened.
The warranty says that it covers me only in Europe... So, now that I have installed an Asia firmware, I don't think that it covers me.
For some reason, although I bought from a Greek Store (I'm Greek) but the firmware it is Europe one and not the Greek One. The same thing says at the box too.
Oh, I don't know...
Bad lack maybe. They stole my iPhone 4S, my SE X10 broke and now that. And all that from January to April...

talk about bad luck man.. phew.. take it to the store tomorrow.. act dumb and say you don't know what the hell happened..hope for the best..
and your warranty is not void as long as it is the stock firmware. that is certain. i had this doubt too when i flashed the Russian firmware.. one of the Devs here told me that it doesn't void the warranty..

Go to the service centre and try convincing them it happened suddenly while charging or while upgrading it with KIES.
I mean try to fool them.

do let us know what happens..

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
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
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.

[Q] Won't turn on

Hey guys
I have a mate whose SGS i9000T will no longer turn on, it is about 5 months old, battery is fine and just died while the screen was off, was not even being used. The last app used was browser. Can't get into Recovery or download modes and the backlight doesn't even register while the AC is plugged in.
Any suggestions would be great or is this a hardware fault? which too me it sounds like
Theirs two possible reasons for this bud....1, custom firmware incorrectly flashed. 2, hardware. I had the same problem and I had to send mine off to Samsung, if you blame the damage on Kies, say after the update it wouldn't turn on they will fix it for free.

Cheers for the reply,
The only things applied were a lag fix that was weeks ago though so i doubt that is the problem, sounds like hardware problem then

No custom kernel or anything? And it just died? Does he tend to drop his phone a lot?

In that case I'd put it down to hardware bud! Are you in the UK? as we have dozens of Samsung service centres, just blame it on Kies if I were you, say after the update it wouldn't turn back on, and they'll fix it for nothing bud

Doesn't work! I tried to brick mine in all possible ways I could imagine, and the far that I get was a screen with the LG symbol and under "error!!! Check morning call". I never lost the access to ARS...

Ask kholk, he seems to have done it.
if its under a month old, you can take it back to where you brought it for a new one, they cant refuse under a month
This is how i bricked mine abut didnt get a new one. only got it fixed : put it under my pillow before going to sleep. woke up the next morning to surf the internet, and the screen was black, and the phone was hot as fire sent it back to get it fixed, and it showed that the head card was replaced, so they didnt find out that it was rooted ether

How many of you actually spotted someone else carrying a galaxy mini ?

Got the idea of this thread from nexus 4 forums, i thought we should also share our experiences about this.
Well, I actually saw only 2 times, someone else also using sgm, one is my friend and another in a cyber café a guy was using there, he was using stock gb lol
Share your experience guys !!

Uh... 10-20 times in phone shop. All of them running Froyo, and one Hipster girl is running CM10.1 (i guess, but i see she is pulling down the statusbar and it's really look like CM10.1).
there are only 3 people have mini on my campus, me and 2 others. 1 using froyo, 1 cmx and now I revert back to emanon..

Crt animation is not there on ny phone, may b that's why he was asking

Oh, i remember, some months ago my charger was damaged somehow so when i ran out of battery and tried connecting charger, mini gave no response, i thought my battery is gone, so i went to care center and asked for new battery, but when they tryied with their charger it started charging.
Then the guy there started to show me that device is all right, by switching it on
Then what he saw was completely shocking for him, first he saw that splash screen, device name written galaxy mini written instead of galaxy pop (in india)
He asked me if i imported the device lol
Then when he saw the bootanim he was again shocked, i was using nexus bootanim that time, he asked me what's this? A nexus? Lolz
I said i just changed the bootanimation, he looked confused
Then what he saw was completely out of his mind, it was cm10.1
He didnt evn recognised android 4.2 and tryied to unlock it like other devices touch and slide anywhere on screen. He saw completely different ui, blue battery icon asked me which os is this, i showed him android 4.2.2 in about phone
Then what i did was, ran out of there to my home back before he asked me anything more, but at last i told him, dont worry u wont understand

Don't go tp cc for flashing stock they don't know what flashing is
All they will do is, connect ur phone via kies, since custom rom don't get detected by kies it won't work
They will then tell u some useless things (they have to tel u something at last) like u need to get new motherboard cuz usb port not Woking and blah blah, they dont know wat odin is
