[Resolved]  Samsung Duos Touch Sch W299 — Defective mobile handsets /experiment by samsung on consumer costs & time

Dear sir,

Greetings!!!

I have purchased new samsung duos touch (cdma + gsm) sch-w299 on 9th february, 2010. with cost 10150.00 inr.in the beginning i thought
The piece is new and my hand is not friendly on the same handset so i am facing problem, but the reality is the piece is with full of problems. for the
Ame i contacted to customer care, i was replied that its a gsm + cdma so the functionality is the same as you are facing. its a manufacturing style
Not a problem. i was socked because i am facing following problems from the beginning:

* slowly working (got the reason due to both sim operating in the same phone it takes time to operate)
* entry in phone book additions takes 5 - 10 minutes for single entry and if it hangs, i ll have to restart phone by removing the battery. because no other alternate lefts to operate phone again. (my side problem & customer care side its perfectly ok because the processor of the phone is slide slow)
* to open a image folder takes 10 minutes and for ruining the same it takes 5-10 minutes to change images. (customer care side you ll have to scan with anti virus and you ll have to format the same and restore the files again problem ll be resolved automatically) (i do the same the problem as early as in beginning)
* when i inserted all the three things (gsm card + cdma card + mmc) the phone is working extremely slow like after giving one operations i ll have to wait for 3-5 minutes.

For the same problem i was not getting perfect answer from the customer care, i provided my hand set to the majura gate, surat. my person was informed that the phone is perfectly working but user have not aware to use the phone so they may facing problems.

So i register my complain via website with the complain no (bp no.) [protected] (transaction no. is [protected]), so i was informed that i ll have to provide my handset samsung duos touch to majura gate,
And i did the same as informed by mr. harshil from samsung india-gujarat-ahmedabad. then after i am in touch with mr. janak thakkar. he is the very gentle person and i provided the piece with the problems. they accepted the piece with the problems and assured me to resolve the problem by re-installing the software. mr. janak informed me
To take the phone with in next working day. so next day i collected my hand sets with the same problem, i again nformed to mr. janak for the same, again they have to re-install the software in my handsets with the same job cards. after second installations of the software, when i faced the same problem mr. janak informed me to change the sim cards may be due to not matching frequency i am facing the problems, i changed my both sim cards but the problem is the same as early. so for the problems i informed
Mr. janak again, samsung team informed me to put the handset again in the service centre they will change the all hardware. i provided my handset again to the majura gate customer care, after 3-4 days i take the delivery of the phone with the same problems with new installed hardware, software (and my new sim cards and formatted cards).

With all the above problems i informed to mr. janak, for the resolve the same and provide me the perfect solutions. he ll arrange my talk with mr. sandip bhatt, (manager from ahmedabad of samsung). mr. sadeep required 1 week to talk with technical team, to develop new software for my problems to resolve the things and if required then improve hardware of the phone also. and then they ll get the things done for my phone and there is no surety whether my handsets problem get resolved or not.

Means the samsung team doing full of experiments with the customers payments, if customer satisfied then its oke else i dont know wat is the result.

Here i am providing you the some o[censored]nsatisfied customers for the same phone with almost same problems:

Samsung — Service Centre removed MMC Card from Phone

i sent a samsung sch-s259 phone for repairs to your service centre at centre point, aligarh, uttar pradesh, aligarh on 10th of april 2008 through my representative. the fault was attended to by mr. ravi chaudhary who seemed very co-operative. the problem was recitified by what appears to be reinstallation of the software.

however when the phone was returned to me, the micro sd card of 512 mb was missing from the phone. i believe that formatting of the phone or its software could not have been done with the sd card in the slot.

an email to the company on 10th april 2008 has failed to elicit a reply.

Samsung — defective piece

i had brought samsung j 700 on 26th october. but from next day it started giving hanging problems and the camera was also not functioning . i returned the cell phone to the Mobile world from where i had brought the cell. they initially told me that it will be replaced. when the mobile was sent to the service centre the manager called ravi informed me that the phone had some waterlogging problem. they cannot replace the set. i was amazed at the ruthlessness and the rude behaviour of this person. he did not even bother to tell me any other detail of the problem. the person from mobile world took the set to the service centre again for repair and they told me that the board has to be replaced and it would cost Rs 3800/-.the price of the mobile was Rs 5409/-.i was mazed at the response and the expenditure for a new mobile just three days old. i have been a old customer of samsung with all the home appliances at my home being of samsung. i am really annoyed at the behaviour and response of the service centre and want a new mobile in replacement.
plz tell me service centre in aligarh

Samsung Mobile — Defective Piece

SIr/ Madam,

I purchased a Samsung Mobile worth rupees 5700 and it developed problems within 15 days of its purchase, the keys got jammed and the speaker has some problem with it as the person on the other end hears some drummy noise. We contacted the customer care about 20 days back through email and they said they will look into the matter and will contact us soon, I waited for a long time but there is no reply from them, they now stopped even replying back to the emails. I am feeling being cheated as my hard earned money has been invested in wrong directions, we were loyal customers of nokia and there was no issue with that ever and I really regret changing my loyalty to a company as worst as samsung. I hope you can prove to be of help to me, waiting for your reply, i need compensation for the trouble that i faced because of all this from them.

Regards,
Vivek

Samsung Mobile Defective Piece — Defective Piece

Since the very first day the battery has not been performing to its optimum capacity that is “IT EXHAUSTS WHILE MAKING A SINGLE CALL” resulting in call disconnection in between.

On approaching the Vendor he clarifies / suggests that battery needs to be given a proper “INITIAL CHARGE” for optimum performance.

After adhering to all suggestion/ instructions & repeated complaints to Vendor the problem still persists.





consequences

The post paid connection of TATA Indicom that was taken to be used with the said handset has been rendered practically useless & further burdening me of the monthly rental of Rs 550 since Sep 09.

Calls are getting disconnected during conversation with clients causing me irreparable losses & embarrassment.

I had to visit the vendor number of times out of my schedule in hope of a remedy/ solution further pressurising me mentaly & my resources.





Relief


New handset with due performance as per specifications in replacement.

or

Refund of cost paid for the set.

Refund of monthly rental from sep 09 till date.

Compensation for the harassment caused since Sep 09.

Compensation for the losses on clientele and embarrassment.

SAMSUNG MOBILE W299 — I WANT MY MONEY BACK

Sir, i have purchased a samsung dual sim phone modelw299 from m/s singh enterprises, janak puri, n delhi-58 vide bill no.12884 dated 5-7-09. Atleast 4 times same phone was deposited at there service centre at rohini under name m/s sim solutions. Last time phone was deposited on 8th jan 2010 & was assured that you will be getting a due replacement/refund for faulty phone. Inspite of my repeated representations with mr. Ansari (Area manager-samsung} & also repeatedly lodging compaints at there website i am not getting an appropriate solution. People at there service centre at rohini are so rude & arrogant & have no symphaties with consumers.
"samsung" is misusing its brand image by just importing cheap low quality phones from china & selling at higher prices in india.

SAMSUNG MOBILE W299 — Mobile given for repairing not returned

I had bought the new Samsung CDMA mobile W 299 on[protected].
Handset software corrupted on 15-2-10 and stopped functioning. Same was given to samsung service centre - Mastercare Service, Borivali on 20-2-10.
Even after repeated phone call / personal visits, they could not inform till date, when the handset will be returned duly repaired. (hand set serial no A0000017FFCF83). The only reply from Mastercare is "It has been sent to main branch".
The calls made to Samsung helpline centre is futile as there reply was to contact the service centre where the handset is deposited for repairing. They could not provide any seniors mobile no. or email id.

Neither the service centre has provided any spare handset.

I have to leave office quite early to reach the service centre and lost almost 5 days.

Is there anyone at samsung listening.
dear friend,

You are advised to go to the district consumer court
2. i did so against the Samsung
they were ordered to repair the set with a penalty otherwise replace the set to new with n one month or to refund the money.
contact me for further guidance [protected]

bye
Hi,

I'm also having similar problems, but I thought it is the way it works. But, today I've noticed another big problem. Mobile is not getting opened and is showing a message 'file system error, please wait' for the whole day with a green screen back ground. Any body can suggest me what I need to do ?

Thanks a lot..
I am going to buy a new (Gsm+cdma) samsung dous touch w 299 handset but now i had decided to cancel buy it..

Paresh patel
It is not a big problem and i think if they required some time to rectify the problems we should also co- operate them.Because i am also using samsung mobile phone and had a problem in the month of nov-2009 but they took some time and they resolved my problem at all.I think they samsung team is very co-operative team rather then other brands.My friend and i am sure now a days you had defenitely got resolution of your mbl pl revert.

Samsung mobile SCH W299 — defective piece

To whomsoever it may concern
1. This is to bring to your kind notice that i am an army officer and have purchased a samsung mobile phone model sch w-299 from dewan enterprices, bathinda in sep 2009.
2. After a few months, the touch screen became non functional and the phone was sent to service centre for repairs. This was in the month of march 2010 and the phone was under warranty period. Work order number is wa[protected] dated 19 mar 2010 (Scanned copy att)
3. I was told that the phone has been sent to the company and shall be repaired. However, the phone was returned to me on 26 apr 2010 saying that the set has been repaired. During the above period, no replacement phone was given to me and i had to manage as tata indicom phones are not compatable with gsm phones.
4. As soon as i recd the phone, i returned it to the company service centre as it had some technical problem on 26 apr 2010. This time i had taken a receipt of the same, a copy of which is attached.
5. I was told that the company is to change the set or return my money. Now even after contacting devan enterprices and mr anish of the service centre, there is no response. All i hear is that the set is in chandigarh/ludhiana etc. The stand by set given to me is not commensurate to my stature and rank i hold.
6. I am deeply distressed by the actions and events occurred so far and have no option but to seek legal action in return to the problems faced by me.
7. I have full faith in your system of work and am using samsung mobiles for a long time now. Please help me get a refund or provide me a new phone on priority.
8. Please channelise this letter to the highest concerned authoruty.

While there is an incoming call ringing, i press the green pick-up button, but it doesnt recieve the phone.. Its as if it hangs while recieveing a call.. More problems are similar to those mentioned in the complaint.. Also, the touch feature is pathetic, it has stopped working properly though its not even a fortnight since i bought the phone.

Samsung Duos Touch SCH-w299 — touch function is not working

I have purchased almost a year back. six months back the touch function stopped working and I could not use many function on the mobile. I showed it to the Company Service Center here . They could not repar it and said it has to be sent to some other place and may take 7-10days. I contiued without giving them but last month I bought another cell phone and gave them this phone for repairing. They gave me the estimate of Rs.1800/- for repairing it . I agreed for it. After a week I got a call from the service center and they said that the repairing chages will be Rs.3000/- and not Rs.1800/- as said earler. The new phone is available in about Rs.8000/- .Can you pls guide?

samsung sch-w-299 — Set is pathetic

Your service centres are a Total Flop show. I bought a SCH-W-299 mobile handset at chandigarh from M/s Anmol Watches & Elctronics (P) Ltd. vide Invoice No. NCS-15526 dt. 19.10.2009.

The set went off automatically on 01.08.2010 and I was unable to swtich it on again. I gave the same to your service centre at Guwahati M/s Netsol Associates vide Work Order No.[protected] dt.04.08.2010. That time I was made sure that I will the handset within a week because the set is in warranty. But One month has passed but your service centre has been asking that we have not received the same from Samsung. Is this your service?

Now I am left with no option but to file a Complaint in the Consumer Court.

This is for your kind information please.
