I'm trying to see the death rate of the Kaiser, If you have ever had any problem with your Kaiser/Tilt/yada yada, vote the poll, leave one here.
Problem Defined As:
An issue that ended in a return (wash out or RLoD (RIP Kaiser I))
Or:
An issue that had you flabbergasted for more than 24 hours and had your phone in a non-operatable condition. (Duttys snow screen etc.)
microphone failed after 1.5months. took 3 weeks to repair.
not good enough
No problems. TyTN II version. 6 months (right when it was released).
Doing alright on this end. Went rom to rom and no ROLD or anything....yet.
my kaiser just broke, i was sent a new one.
the screen just cracked, i didnt do anything. i was in school, before class i looked at my phone and it was fine, then about 15-20 minutes later i looked again and the screen was white and cracked.
i owned it about 4 months.
theres been other reports on the forum of broken screen, even in the middle of charging on the computer!
Failed WiFi. Exchanged after 2 weeks. The replacement has been trouble free.
50 votes and 5 replies?
mannn...
RLOD return
RLOD on Tilt #1
Tilt #2 working fine
had tilt since christmas...used many cooked and factory roms....still works perfectly. no probs....KNOCK ON WOOD.....hahahahaha
Crashed during boot with stock rom.... took 3 weeks to fix...
My Tilt inexplicably stopped allowing the battery to charge. Replacement process was excellent.
I have had mine for about 2 months and not problems so far, its a Vario III... I wonder if its a particular incarnation eg the tilt perhaps...?
The problem with this poll is that there's no telling how many "problem free"s right now might later have become a "sadly..", since once the vote is cast that's it.
That said, my Kaiser (originally a Vodafone V1615, flashed to the generic HTC rom) is problem free after 4 months so far. Although obviously it will now break tomorrow!
two months old, only problem is that now and again, all the icons disappear from the programs folder and the settings. fixed by a soft reset, but is the same on every rom i have tried, any ideas?
I guess a mod got to my triple post as i was attempting to edit them... anyways i had one kaiser for a week, and when you slid the screen to cover the keypad it seemed to come out a little further then it should creating a small lip. I gave that one to my dad, and now i've got another one which has no problem at all.
BTW both are the ATT Tilt variants and NO i didn't give the first one to my dad cuz its broken, i actually ordered him a new one on ebay, just didn't arrive in time. Actually it arrived like 2 hours after his flight departed haha.
Upgraded to tilt before I knew of this site, Had 4 total in the first month. The first three all had the "failure to wake" issue. The 4th one is working just fine. Well so far...........
screen broken after a small fall
Sadly, I broke my tytn II screen after four months of happiness. It was really a small fall :-(
Glad to say that I've had my phone since October, flashed it more times than anyone can count and it's still going strong w/o any problems.
well..one more pessimistic thread..lol
on a side note..YAY!!! "problem free" people touched 100!
my condolensces with the unlucky 20%..gosh thats still a large number..
but then..usually people who have problems with their devices visit forums...
or people who want to modify their kaiser (and sometimes screw it up in the process)
so i guess this poll wont be fair to judge kaiser..
I have 2 tilts and they both run fine..so i roll on 100%..lol
broken

Hi all, this is my first thread.
I would like to share my recent discovery with you. Three days ago I bought Samsung Galaxy Note I (one) and I love it. However, I immediately noticed a large circle in the middle and a small one in the lower right section of the screen. It can only be clearly seen when there is a grey background (I noticed it when starting Market for the first time). I immediately installed a couple of screen test applications and realized that all the colours are fine, there are no dead pixels, just these kind of "imprinted" circles that I cannot erase. I did search the Google and this forum and realised that some users have the same issue with the SII (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1087236&page=4), although at the different places of the screen.
Today I found out the cause of the circles. By looking at the advertisement sticker that I peeled off the Note, I realised that the Samsung original sticker is the cause of the deterioration of the screen at these places!
Look at the two attached pictures and see for yourselves. Just to be clear, they are not dust or grease or something like that, the circles are "inside" the screen. And it is obvious that the patterns are the same as coloured adds on the sticker.
How can that be possible? Can it be that the phone spent a lot of time under the marketing glass at the store and that some kind of chemical reaction occurred under exposure to light?

Wow!!!!
The only thing that comes to my mind is that your particular Note was some sort of display unit behind a counter or glass shelf.
Let me explain... Since our super-mega-screens are AMOLED (meaning organic) based, they tend to deteriorate every time we use them, specially blue colors are the quickest to deteriorate when we use the device.
However, UV light (normal sun light and even fluorescent tubes like the ones in offices and stores) when shined directly to our screens tend to degrade the quality of the display even quicker!
I bet your Note spent way too much time under UV light while the sticker was on the screen, thus creating a ghost image or shadow over it.
Unfortunately, there's no way to fix this.
If I where you, I would return this Note ASAP to the store and explain your findings...
Cheers!

Yes my friend it clear show the reaction of that colourfull amoled n dark pitch green of androi logo.
Within 7days of purchase yr always liable for exchange with the service centre. rush tomor to service centre n follow there exchange procedure n get it replaced. Demand for it u will get a new phone in a day or 2 or same day aswell..
^^^ What they said !!
I would by no means accept this ! After buying this phone BRAND NEW it should not have been taken out of its box since the day it was manufactured.
Definitely take it back and show them the very obvious proof that this has occured since before you even set eyes on the device !

Hi all,
My nightmare continues... After bouncing a couple of times between service store and the seller's store I finally got my brand new Note. Not. I got a new one, but it turned out to be a demo model from another store, and guess what, it also has the same circles and shadows imprinted in the screen. The dealer said that this one has also been in display for almost half a year and to me no wonder it has the same screen issues. So, no luck here.
But the thing gets even more complicated because they do not have another Galaxy Note anywhere, in any store, so they cannot replace it (they returned them all and are starting to advertise Note II, which is a lot more expensive at my carrier's tariff). So I am stuck. I tried to get the DOA form and hopefully will get it through the day and go to the authorised importer here in Croatia and hopefully get a new one or at least have my screen repaired. However, I am not happy to see my new phone going to repair shop, I know that I must get a fresh new one if I return it in a weeks time.
More strangely, the store said that if they return the phone to the authorised dealer they will need to give me the new one and since they don't have it they are willing to cancel my two year contract? And that is the only thing they will do. And I do not want that, all I want is a perfectly working Note.
I will try to go to the importer myself with all the papers and will post back the results. Of course, I do not need to mention that I am very disappointed with the customer service....
I wouldnt have left the store with out either a Brand spanking new Note (Not display model) or without a contract termination.
I know you dont want to cancel, But your paying for a service which isnt being delivered !
Cancel that motherfu*ker and take out a new one with a better provider, Your current one sounds awful !
Tell your new provider that your old provider are offering you XXXXX handset for XX amount per month and if they can beat it, you will join them !
It worked for me I got my mummy the Nokia Lumia for £20 a month (free phone too) as opposed to her old provider wanting £35 per month.
These people dont give a $hit about you, They just want your money, So dont think the promises they make instore will keep because they wont!
Its time to play hard ball if you want a decent outcome!
PS: What sort of provider sells Ex Display models as 'Brand New' ones ? Over here in the UK we call these people 'Rogue Traders' !
Keep us informed :good:
You shouldn't let them do that to you

Read your post again. YOU NEED TO RETURN IT. PERIOD. these people are taking major advantage of you. CANCL NOW BEFORE ITS TOO LATE. What if the service center says they won't fix it and it isn't their fault.

Well if they give you note2 for price of 1 its not to bad. Its majorly bad they gave you 2 faulty units.
Like above posters, cancel or claim working unit alternative.
Whats the namr of the store? So people can avoid it
Did you get a discount for using a demo product?
Also, always test screen in store. That way you can often exchange on the same visit.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
That is completely unacceptable! They can not sell it as New by any chance! As soon as the product leaves the box it becomes B stock!
B stock usually pays off and you can save a lot of money, but not with smartphones, unless aesthetic if the only flaw, which is rare...
I have a 7 string guitar I bought in B stock, it is completely fine, except for a dent on the finish on the back and the electronics were a bit messy so I got a HUGE discount!
Latter that month bought new pickups and redid all the electronics, taken from an older guitar I barely used, and got myself a limited edition Cort X-7 for 185 euros (something like 200dll)! (which is just plain ridiculous) xD
Be on the look for B stock items guys! You can make really great deals!
Hope you get your problem fixed! Good luck!

Hi all, just to let you know how everything turned out for me... After a couple of weeks of complaining and arguing and loosing my nerves with the store where I bought the Note I, I decided to cancel the contract. So no luck there.
But, in the spirit of a nice Christmas story, I was given a brand new Samsung Galaxy Note II by a friend of mine!
And I am forever thankful and just want to say that the phone is amazing!
I hope you will file a consumer complaint against the store.

So,in Sept of last yr,i blew my L5 disc into my S1 at work(im a Directional Driller),whilst swinging a 14kg sledge hammer while breaking out 8" drill collars.
This happened on my 2 day of work,finished off my 14 day roster then flew home for my 2 weeks break,and the p#@cks "retrenched" me,saying there was no more work for our Rig(complete BS,still had enough work to see out this yr & most of next yr).
So now,me & the missus(part time teacher,2 days a week),are trying to survive on her little pay & my work cover payment.
We found out were having a bub in Sept,and she has a 7yr old from previous ex)
Im sort of at my wits end,money just goes,i still haven't been cleared for work(had back surgery 3 weeks ago,and still looking at at least another 3 months before i can even look for/look at work...has anyone else been in a situation like mine?I just don't know what to do,we've sold everything we can,sorted out credit cards,etc with my Retrenchment payout...
Just feeling depressed,angry,and hollow at the moment...Im trying to hang in there,but its getting harder everyday..

So my old reliable Note 3 crapped out recently. With the ZeroLemon battery i loved it. but this time it looks like a mainboard fail, that says tmo on it so I don't think i can get the part. unless some loving soul on here has access. ill start a new thread dfor that one.. So I bought Note $. first day: everyuthing was grate. Secund day: no voice network, by which i mean i could text and use the 4gtle and wifi but no calls. the signal strength indicator at the top of the screen had an x through it. so i spent some time looking up my problem. Seems all the s5's and on use a larger sticker that when wet shows a number of red x's not just one. so any last ditch efforts before tmo charges me another 177 bux even though i"m still, l in my 14 day grace period, they at the store say all the problems are water. i took it out of the box night one and let it charge. day 2 it goes screwy. I've included some pics. now I've also hear a dab of bleach will turn red spot back to white. I'm not trying to get one over on tnmo. I'm just trying to prevent myself from getting screwed. heres a link to my imigur galley so the pics can be seen enalkarion . smugmug . com / Note4
so apparently i cant post anything even resembling a pic yet. any ideas? i have a smugmug account and if someone would like to pm my ill give out the addy and they can see what im talking about.

its hard to understand due to bad grammer. what does s5 have to do with your note 4. Did you wet your note 4 and those moisture indicators showed? It works the first day... hmm do you happen to be the southeast region of the USA? there is an outage of t-mobile in that area http://www.tmonews.com/2015/08/t-mobile-other-carriers-having-network-issues-in-the-southeastern-us/
https://downdetector.com/status/t-mobile/map/
if you seriously think that the note 4 has problems and you didnt drop it in water return it and exchange for another one since you have the 14 day grace period.
Sorry for the grammar and spelling, I was extremely tired. The comparison of the s5 and the note 4, were to show the differences in the water sensors. I actually live in se pa and have 2 other TMO phones that work, so I guess that's out. The TMO store wouldn't let me return it because of the supposed water damage. I'm going to try again when there's hopefully a new staff working.
Ok I've had the worst bit of luck for digging into rooting and went in with out looking and that's how I learn the best but open for more knowledge. The Sprint Note 5 I rooted about a year and a half or so ago and had it since the first few weeks that it hit the shelf but didn't realize that phone was so difficult to work with and figured that out with the nougat update. But that's fine learned alot but the Ironman rom that has been taunting me ever since I seen it. Lol has any one get it to actually work on the SM-N920P Sprint Note 5 like every one likes to claim it works one every note 5? I've been trying every lead and read everything I've came across. The phone works like a champ and mainly use it for a back up and games and no matter what I put it through it still will not die. So thanks if you do have a option or point me the right direction but if not all good just figured I would ask any ways. Merry Christmas.
