Hello!
I want to tell all owners of the wonderful smartphone Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and Samsung Galaxy S3 about the syndrome of sudden death.
Yesterday, for no reason, my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 suddenly turned off. It looked like the battery was
dead , but after various attempts to turn on the phone, I found out by googling that the phone died.
Deaths from the Sudden Death Syndrome (aka Sudden Death Syndrome, aka SDS) are affected by the following devices:
a) having onboard 16GB of memory,
b) having eMMC chip VTU00M
c) having firmware version of the chip 0xF1
d) having installed OS Android 4.1.1 .
To find out if your device is exposed to this risk, download this application .
It will require root rights, but they are needed for the test. Everything you need will seem without root rights.
If your smartphone has a buggy chip that causes SDS, then the screen will look something like this:
A similar thing happened a couple of weeks ago with the smartphone of my friend Samsung Galaxy S3, although he did not install custom firmware or even root rights. And I was constantly on the official firmware from Samsung, upgrading from the ICS version to Jelly Bean. Samsung does not officially recognize that there is a problem, but after contacting the service center, we became witnesses that we were not the first to deal with such a problem, and recently there have been a lot of such calls to the Samsung call center.
It turns out that for no reason the board dies in the Galaxy S3 and Note 2.
Samsung should change them for free, but the Official Service Center refers to non-warranty repairs and wants about 8000r to replace the board.
The friend’s replacement of the motherboard was on the motherboard, again of the old type, and therefore the smartphone can die again in a few months, or even earlier. Samsung
service centers refuse to repair the device for free, although factory defects are evident .
Be careful and test your pet for exposure to SDS.
If you encounter the same problem and decide to rearrange the board yourself from the donor phone, then the detailed instructions are already written by the user
