Dear Samsung representative,
I gave demonstration to your Adayar service center. Which was accepted by your service representative. But you were saying that the heating is normal and as per Samsung's standard. What we are expecting from you is the handset inspection report and your bench mark data to verify.
I gave my handset to Samsung service center for 2 weeks, that too when it was just 3/4 days older. I strongly believe that, this is more than enough to do all the inspection required by you. I don't think you need my handset for any further verification. If you still required then what were you doing with my handset for two weeks of time? Did you say the set was good without inspecting it? So it looks like you just want to wash your hands just by making unnecessary request.
Kindle share us the information as early as possible.
Thanks & Regards
Karthigeyan K

Dear Madam,
Your prompt response is much appreciated. However, please note that replacement is sought only because samsung has not been able to identify the problem and rectify it as the complainant states that the problem persists. In fact, if you read our earlier email, we had asked to share Samsung's reference/benchmark data related to heating and battery use and also to share the test data/your findings on Mr. Karthigeyan's handset for the same, as your technical engineer had certified that there was no defect with the product.
However, in response, you have replied stating that replacement was not possible, you would only repair and that the product was not faulty. Please share details on what basis you arrived at this conclusion that the product was not faulty, especially when the complainant states that the problems persist.
We urge you provide a logical explanation and resolve the issue or offer the replacement failing which we will be constrained to advice the complainant to approach the Consumer Fora to seek redress.
We look forward to an early response.
Regards,
S. Saroja

Dear Sirs,
Citizen consumer and civic Action Group (CAG) is a non – profit, non – political, professional organization working towards protecting citizens’ rights in consumer and environmental issues and promoting good governance including transparency, accountability and participatory decision making.
We are forwarding herewith the complaint of Mr. Karthigeyan, which is self explanatory. The complainant states that the problems with battery and heating continue even after your service personnel had attended to it. In an earlier email you had mentioned that your technical engineer had certified that there was no defect with the product and to which, the complainant had asked to share Samsung's reference/benchmark data related to heating and battery use and also to share the test data/your findings on his handset for the same. However, we realize that there has been no further response till date.
Considering the above, we are sure you will agree that it is important that you share the details that the complainant has asked for, if not for anything, then, at least to justify your stand that the product was not faulty. Hence, we urge you to give the same to the complainant at the earliest and thus relieve him of the ordeal that he is facing since the past one month.
We look forward to a positive and prompt response.
Regards,
S. Saroja
CAG

Dear Samsung representative,
Please share the Samsungs reference/benchmark data related to heating and battery use. Also share the test data/your findings on my handset for the same. I am expecting the result as early as possible, failing which I will be moving to legal proceedings to get it.
Pleasw note, since you are delaying the responses and based on your confirmation that all the required test has been done on my handset, I am collecting my handset. But I like to inform you that the issue is still not closed.
Thanks & regards

Dear Suman,
I had demonstrated the heating issues to your service centre people and they agreed it. If you want I can do this again. But I need someone from Samsung to be there with me.
Also can you please share your testing report to me.
Thanks & Regards

Subject: Samsung Note 3 Neo smart phone customer complaint (No: [protected])
Dear Samsung Representative,
I bought Samsung Note 3 neo model smart phone on 3rd June 2014 from Samsung IT world at Infosys, Mahindra City, Chennai. I have used the phone for 3 days and I found the issues as listed below in this mail. So, handed over the phone in Adayar, Chennai Samsung service center on 7th June 2014 for verification, also I have demonstrated them the way the mobile is heating. They agreed and verified it further and said to me that, since the mobile is high end model with higher hardware configuration, this is how the phone will heat. They are saying the heat is expected when we update multiple apps and/or when we browse with WIFI, 3G/2G data connectivity. This is expected in Samsung’s higher end model mobiles. When I called Samsung customer care and explained this and received a compliant number [protected], and was promised that this will be sorted quickly.
My complaints are;
The phone is heating heavily when I browse for 5 minutes or more. This is so heavy in case 3g/2g data connection and heavy in case of WI-FI. But, both cases it is highly difficult for me to speak without hands free, since I couldn’t take the phone near my ears.
After speaking continuously for 5 minutes or more the phone is getting heated and I couldn’t continue the call without hands free, because of heat.
Batter is drying up in 9 to 11 hours. I was using this phone for the 3 days (4, 5, 6th June 2014) and when I charge it fully in the morning (around 8 am), in the evening (around 6 pm)it dried. Please note, I am normal user and don’t use extensively the mobile set all the time.
I got complaints from my call receiver that my voice is not clear. There could be some problem with phone’s mic.
Today (19th Jun 2014) received a call from Samsung’s customer care representative, and he informed to me that, the phone is higher end model with high hardware configuration, so it will heat. If this is the case then, I cannot use a phone that is heating up using which I couldn’t speak.
So, kindly requesting you to do one of the below;
If the heating issue is with all Samsung high end smart phone, then refund the cost of the phone (Rs-29091.00 + EMI interest as promised). Since I cannot tolerate the heat the phone is producing.
If the heating issue is with this specific Samsung high end smart phone model, then I am ready to accept any other model which is not heating up like this one. In this case, I will pay the excess amount if it costs more than the money I spent (with one condition that the excess amount should not be more than Rs-3000.00). If it is lesser then you have to pay me back the balance amount.
If you find the heating issue is only with this particular handset in this model, then replace the new handset with the same model.
Kindly note, today is 13th day and still you are holding my hand set. I have spent too much money on this and using your standby hand set (Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos) with much, much lower configuration. So please consider this request as very, very urgent and close it at the earliest.
Post Script: I am sending the same message in different forums as below and expecting acknowledgement from all of the receiver.
