[Resolved]  Samsung Galaxy Note 2 — Serious Issues found on Galaxy Note 2 Hardware

Address:Chennai, Tamil Nadu

Dear Sir

This is regarding the complain ref number - [protected] registered with your company, Details of the Phone are, Galaxy Note 2 N7100, with IMEI NUMBER [protected]/01 Purchased at Chennai on 18th day of March 2013.

I have heared a lot about Samsung phones and decided to switch from iphone 4s to Samsung. This is my first phone with Samsung and i chose to go with the best model available till date i.e Galaxy Note 2. I had started receiving problems with my phone within 30 days of its purchase. The incoming and outgoing calls were not audible both to me and to the caller. Presuming it as a network error i have replaced the sim card but still the problem remained the same. This error effected badly on my business as i missed many important calls. Then the service centre guys took few more days to analyse the issue and found the motherboard to be defective. It was very disheartening that the topline phone’s hardware could be so poor that the board has to be replaced in the earlier stages of its life. I have asked for the replacement of the phone itself but was denied as per company’s policy. Since i understand that the technical issues and errors can happen to any electronic device, So respecting companies’ policies i made up my mind and agreed to move on with the repaired phone and started using it.

To my shock the phone’s LCD started showing poor colours and lower brightness. As i belong to advertising field, It affected badly on my business presentations. Again i had to cancel all my meetings for the day to rush down service centre. This time the LCD is found to be defective and they agreed to replace it in few days time.

Since this is second major issue within 5 days of first repair i have lost the faith on entire servicing process and genuinely asked for the replacement of Phone but again i was given cold reply of denial on the grounds of companies policy. Does Samsung’s company policy is meant to let consumer suffer for the poor quality of the hardware that once its opened for repair causes the other components to malfunction? Do i need to keep using a sick-repaired-sick ever phone leaving my precious time rushing to service centre for the rest my life?

Mr Anubhav Sud from customer care in cold words denied any help other than repair and he was keen to know whether i am selling this off so that this call can be closed . By the entire suffering and the unfair treatment experienced, I am provoked to raise my concern through online consumer right forums, social network and media as much possible to safeguard future buyers aware of such rude treatment before they make their mind to buy any Samsung products. To put it in a nutshell i humbly can say i am totally not satisfied with the samsung service, I would rate it poorest because o[censored]nfair customer care response plus the worst hardware & service quality.

Seems Samsung’s company policy is made in such way to suit their own interests rather than the benefits of victimised consumer? Its widely accepted fact that the standards o[censored]S based companies like apple’s policies are always proven for the benefits of its users more than the companies own interests. Kindly make us believe in Samsung’s fair policy to restore the faith back on it. I hope Samsung proves the worldwide favourite consumer electronics company in terms of customer satisfaction.

The excitement of buying and using brand new model for a fancy price is totally worthless when the phone is serviced back-to-back for major faults . It also eats up lots of time to get it serviced beside the apps and other data losses. The micro sim doesn’t allow to switch back to any other common model as standby. I humbly request you to address my concern seriously and provide me peace of mind by REPLACING the HANDSET at an earliest.



Thank you

Regards

Ajay Jain

Samsung — Serious customer service issues

How should working couples get their Samsung products serviced? Samsung mechanics assume that the moment we have filed a complaint, we should be available at our places 24X7 so that they may come anytime and unannounced. At least this has been our experience, not once but repeatedly. And in spite of requesting again and again to inform before coming, they bother not to. They expect us to always comply with their availability and convinicence. Any disagreement and they threaten to close the complaint owing to non availability of the customer.

On 12th June 2012, my husband filed a complaint for the Samsung airconditioner with a reference number [protected]. A few days later, a mechanic called up (without ANY prior intimation) in mid afternoon, to inform that he was waiting at our place. He was then told that both o[censored]s are at our respective offices and need to be informed some time in advance to reach our home. When we suggested him to come in the evening, he told us that it would be difficult for him to come in evening. After a while, he again called up and informed us that he will be there at our place by 5pm. My husband reached the house at sharp 5pm and kept waiting for the next 2 hours and he didn't turn up. He finally turned up at 7:45pm and after he checked the a/c we were informed that our a/c would have to be taken to the workshop for repair. And another mechanic will be there to collect the a/c.

Today morning my husband received a call from another mechanic wherein my husband requested him to inform at least 1 hour in advance before coming to collect the a/c. At 3:45 pm, I got a call from the Samsung mechanic saying that he was waiting at our place. Since I was in the middle of an important meeting, I requested him to call my husband. Very rudely, he asked me whether my husband would come immediately if he called him. I obviously told him that I cannot predict if he can come immediately and he would have to speak to him only. He rudely said he will close the complaint stating that the house is locked and disconnected the call immediately. The same person called up my husband who asked him to wait for 30 minutes but he simply refused.

I am shocked and upset as to how Samsung is training their mechanics to speak to customers. Looks like Samsung is only interested in selling products and not focus on customer care at all.
That's so very true Ajay. I only wish I had visited this forum before I purchased Samsung galaxy note pro recently. Within 5 days of my purchase, the tablet stopped working. At Samsung service centre, I found out that the adaptor was defective. As per the company's policy, the Samsung agreed to replace the adaptor only. I have been unhappy with the very fact that my work was affected severely due to this and that I had invested Rs 60, 000 on a defective product! The managers at the CEO office as well as customer support denied my request to replace the entire tablet. The Samsung customer service is only meant to serve ' Samsung employees' and not 'Samsung Customers'. Their policies are meant to benefit them, but not their customers! Having appreciated the reviews about their galaxy note pro as well as Ative 9 plus laptop, I had decided to buy their new laptop too. Having had this terrible experience with them, I have decided not to buy their laptop. I would never buy any Samsung products in future, for the very fact that Samsung, one of the leading companies in the world, feels no shame when their defective products are out in the market, takes no responsibility to admit their mistakes, feels no guilt in fooling innocent customers and thus make their customers' lives miserable!


Thanks
Rekha
