Sprint is my provider for my Samsung products. I traded a Samsung S6 for a Samsung Galaxy S8+. The InvisibleShield cover does not work on the S8+ and no other company makes one. I've always liked Samsung phone and tablet products. They have a lot of compatible accessories which is cheaper to order online instead of through Samsung.

Samsung Galaxy 8+ has been a pleasure to use and own. As someone who's never had a top of the line device before, it's been an eye-opening experience. Anything I'd like to do I can do it rather than wish I could. Takes outstanding photos and video too.

I find Samsung's cell phones to be easy to use, mostly reliable, and fast. The main problems we have had have been cracked screens, which is common with all brands, I think, and charging ports that fail. The ports are expensive and difficult to replace. You can bypass that issue by charging wirelessly.

I love my Samsung Note. It's easy to use and has enough space to hold what I need. The only problem I seem to have is the battery, although I do run a lot of apps that tend to eat it up. Once it's dead, it's dead for a while though and takes a lot of time to charge up even enough to turn it back on.

I absolutely love my Samsung. It is user friendly. They do not usually change the interface to entirely much to where you have to re-learn a whole new phone. They do not include a bunch of bloatware that you are not going to use, that just takes up space on your phone. In turn, this leaves more space for the user to download the things they want on their phone.

Overall I like Samsung Galaxy S2. The battery life isn't too good. The phone seems like it's possessed. It will call someone when I'm not even around it. Or it will pull up my Gmail site, google, text, etcetera. This happens regularly. Then, at times I'll hit an icon to make a call, text, etcetera. Instead, a lot of times the phone will pull any other icon instead.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5. I left Apple phones to Samsung because at that time they offered phones with removable batteries. Also, I really like this phone because it accepts micro SD card. But I have been reluctant to upgrade phone because all of the new Samsung phones have a built in battery. For this reason when I do decide to upgrade my phone I definitely won't be going with Samsung. Another reason is the abundance of duplicate programs coming with the phone. Samsung has a multitude of Samsung programs that also come with Google. When I decide to update or my phones break down for good I will probably go with Google Pixel phone.

I placed an order in July for 2 phones (Galaxy S8 and S8+) under a trade-in program (I have to return my Galaxy S7 edge in order to qualify for trade-in program). I only received Galaxy S8+ and did not receive S8. Now I filed a claim but they made me return my old phone. I paid for 2 phones and have only one phone. I have been waiting for 2 months and have not got any response. I called them for more than 15 times and all the times lazy agents keep saying ''We are escalating the case and you will hear back from us within 4-5 business days''. No one ever got back to me.
I tried calling FedEx to know what’s happening and they said they have submitted everything to Samsung and now everything is up to them. Their logistics department do not have any phone numbers and we cannot simply contact them. All we can do is call customer care agent and they will escalate our case to Logistics department. Does it really take 2 months to resolve one missing shipment case? When I ask them What am I suppose to do? And they said "THEY SAID THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING. YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT TILL LOGISTICS DEPARTMENT REPLIES.''

I bought a S8 plus for my husband birthday on Sept. 15, when Samsung was running the promotion FREE Gear VR. When the phone was ship to me, there was no free gear VR so I called Samsung and was told that it was back order, will sent to me once they have it. After a week, I called Samsung few times to solve this problem but was told that they will look into it and gave me a case number. This is the third week, I called and was told by Samsung customer service that when I order, I have to click on the free gear VR!
I told her that when I order the phone, the promotion was written FREE and there wasn't anywhere in there saying I have to click on the gear VR for free. Honestly who won't want free item??? If Samsung runs a free promotion on an item it should be given free, not need consumer to click on free item. I told the customer service if that is the case I want to return the phone and she told me that it is past 14 days, return policy. All this while I am a very big fan of Samsung, I work in a retail store and encourage customers to purchase Samsung products. With this issue that I'm facing for the past weeks, I am very unhappy with this, I felt cheated by SAMSUNG.

I purchased my Samsung Galaxy 8 on 7/24/2017. It was my business phone and I used it for everything to manage my business. I was really enjoying using it until this weekend. On 9/23/2017 (barely 61 days after purchasing it) the screen went black. No soft start would get it to come back on. I called my provider to see what to do. I was told to call Protect Cell as it is under warranty. In order for Protect Cell to replace my phone I have to pay another $100 deductible. The phone was again barely 61 days old.
Samsung and Protect Cell must be making a killing off of these types of problems. This is ridiculous that Samsung can't even give a free replacement. My only other option was to take it back to the provider and have them send it to another company and I would be out of a business phone for up to 6 weeks. How can you run a business like that. The phone should be replaced for free, especially when Samsung is fully aware of the black out screen issue. After mine went black I researched online and I am not the only one that has run into this problem. There are tons of issues similar to mine that are written up online. I am fortunate enough that I can pay the ridiculous $100 deductible, however some are not. What a scam it is for repairs on such an expensive item these days.

Within a few weeks of my purchase of a "new" phone and almost $700 later, the issues began. The battery life was horrible. Not even a full 12 hours of life after fully charged. I didn't get service in parts of my home, they claim I was in a remote area, they didn't realize I lived just outside of Dallas. The phone opened and closed apps on its own and got hot quickly.
When I called to address the issues was the biggest problem of all. I was told that I had to mail my phone in and they will look at the device and determine IF they will resolve the issues. Btw they said the turnaround would be weeks and I'd have to buy a temp phone if I needed one??? I always give an opportunity to correct a wrong when I do business so I was highly disappointed.
I attempted a few different times to resolve the issue and eventually they said I needed to contact my service provider and another CSR claimed it was Best Buy's fault. Since my last convo with them my screen cracked simply from putting it in my purse and my battery is so bad that I have to keep it on the charger or it will die within an hour. My phone has died in situations that has cost me clients, money, and important conversations. I say on a daily basis how much I hate this phone. I have never had a worse case of buyers remorse.
When I purchased my phone, I received a 32 inch TV as well. The TV was defective. My 8 year old son threw a Lego piece, not an assembled group but one little Lego and that damaged the screen??? After guaranteeing they would repair or replace the TV, when I called back to make the claim, they claimed it was not their responsibility. There is no way a child is strong enough to create the velocity to damage the screen with a lego! I explained this in detail and they did not care. I will NEVER BUY ANOTHER SAMSUNG PRODUCT AGAIN.

I decided to get a Galaxy S7 instead of an S8 to save money. The S7 has been full of problems. The battery drains itself very quickly and the phone gets too hot to handle. I tried taking the case off and it is still scorching hot. I called Samsung and they refused to fix the problem and said battery capacity loss is normal. They told me to go to the local Best Buy, but there was no Samsung representative. The Galaxy S7 is a horrible product with even worse customer service. When the battery gets so hot, it is very likely to cause damage to parts of the phone. The fingerprint scanner does not work and the physical home button is sometimes unresponsive. Worse of all, the Galaxy S7 has a magnesium frame. Combined with an overheating battery, this is a serious fire hazard.

The case Samsung provides with s8+ basically disintegrated upon opening causing phone to fall on ground. Samsung will not warranty either. In 22 years of owning a cell phone, I have never dropped or physically damaged a phone. Since Samsung likes to take mine and my companies’ money but not replace or repair defunct products myself and company will be switching to Apple.

My Samsung S7 is great but it gets a little confusing trying to work out some of the apps etc. I would have given it 5 star if it didn't have pre-installed apps I don't need or use and if I did need them for the phone function they should explain it in more detail what they do.

I purchased a Samsung Note 5 phone on June 30, 2016 and have had many problems with it. Within one week no one could hear me in a call. The Samsung representative at Best Buy was able to do a software update to fix the problem. In December 2016, the screen broke and looked like ink was spilled on it. It was unusable. I went back to the Samsung employee that sold me the phone and asked him what my options were. His immediate response was to throw it away and buy a new one. I was not prepared to do that with an $800 phone that was 6 months old. He then sent me to a local store that replaces screens. He never said I could send it to Samsung for the repair nor did he tell me fixing it elsewhere would invalidate my warranty. This repair is the reason Samsung won't fix it now.
Just when the phone was 1 year old, there was a battery problem. Several times a day it would go from 70% charged to 0% in a few minutes. Once again, I went to the Samsung representative. He rebuilt the operating system which he said would fix the problem if it was a software problem. It didn’t fix it. I called Samsung and they agreed to repair it under warranty.
I sent it to the repair center on July 19 under repair ticket **. It was returned to me one week later as beyond economical repair (BER). I was told this was because of the "unauthorized" repair in December. I would have accepted this if the phone was returned to me in the same condition in which I sent it to the repair center - a working phone that needed a new battery. Instead, it came back with scotch tape holding the back onto the phone because they broke it. It wouldn’t turn on and I couldn’t charge it.
When I called about this, ticket number ** was created to elevate the problem. On July 30 a person in Samsung's Executive Customer Relations (ECR) department put in a request to reverse the BER. I called for status several times and was told it hadn’t been approved yet. On August 2 I spoke to someone else in ECR who created ticket number ** to repair the phone. This is the confirmation email she sent to me: "This email is to confirm the transaction today. I did set up service for the device to be repaired back to the condition it was sent to the ASC. If you have any other question please contact 1-800-SAMSUNG."
On August 3 I sent the phone back to the repair center. Per UPS, they received it on August 7. By August 9 I still didn’t see anything in the repair self-tracking system and I called the repair center. I was told it can take several days to get it logged in the system. On August 11 I called again and was told there was a problem and they would expedite it. It still wasn’t in the system on August 15 and I called again. This time I was told it wouldn’t be repaired and was sent back to me. I was transferred to ECR and spoke to someone who told me there was nothing Samsung would do for me and there was no one higher up that I could talk to.
On August 16 I got the phone back. This time the slot for the sim card was missing. I called the ECR again. I told the representative that I am extremely upset with the lack of service or caring that I’m getting from Samsung. While I disagree with the original reason that they didn't fix the phone, I would accept it if the phone were returned to me in the same condition that I sent it to the Samsung repair center. It was a working phone that just needed a new battery. Now it is broken and unusable.
I feel like I’m getting a run-around. It’s impossible to talk to the same person each time I call and I get different answers from each person. On August 2 I was told the BER reversal was approved, on August 15 I was told the phone was sent back to me because the BER reversal wasn't approved and Samsung was done with it, on August 16 I was told they are still waiting for the reversal to be approved. On August 23 I called for a status on the ECR reversal. The person I spoke to finally took my complaint to management (which everyone else refused to do). A new ticket was created (**). I was supposed to get a call about what they would do for me on August 24. I never got the call and sent an email to the last person I spoke to. I have not gotten a reply. This is the only person that gave me an email. The others told me there is no way to contact them and I have to talk to whoever answers the phone.
I have been without a phone for over 1 month. I purchased a top of the line phone and had problems as soon as I got it. Samsung needs to stand behind their product and repair center and fix what they broke. I no longer trust that it will be repaired or replaced. I attached pictures of the phone as it was returned to me. Please note the cracked back and scotch tape holding it on. It appalls me that a company with Samsung's reputation doesn't care about the individual consumer. A small company would do everything they can to fix something they broke.

I purchased a Samsung Smart Phone SAMA520168BLA, the phone was purchased on January 2017, I paid about $370 for it. The phone stopped charging and doesn't power up. Called Samsung customer care over a month and a half period. Each agent will open a case, no one would look at the case, and Samsung's system expires the case after 3 days. I would call to follow up, and Samsung customer care will create a new case, only to have it expire again. It has been about a month and a half and Samsung refuses to honor their warranty. Each agent provides me with different requirements, I would submit the required documents, to have them come with new requirements. Bottom line: Samsung doesn't honor their manufacturer's warranty. If you buy SAMSUNG you are on your own to remedy their defective products.

As we were moving out of state, I called and updated our address before items were shipped. Samsung sent our items to the old address anyway and then told me that I would have to wait until the items were returned to the warehouse at which point, they would be shipped to my new address.
Upon waiting a few weeks, I was then told that the warehouse was refusing to reship my items to the new address and a refund would have to be issued despite me telling them I wanted the items, not a refund! I called multiple times, became so frustrated and stressed out and still NO ONE helped to rectify the situation. Finally, after 2 and a half months a coupon code was emailed to me to use towards a VR gear (which was free with the purchase of the S8 phone) but it was only ONE coupon despite us purchasing TWO phones and it doesn't work!!!

I've had Samsung phone for past 5 years or so, and I roughly had 3 of them. (S2, S3, and Note 4). All of them had battery problems where battery dies at 40-60%. It usually happens conveniently little over a year so that you don't get covered by the warranty. It is getting worse now, for phone (Note 4) as it randomly dies depending on which app I open the phone with. I called Samsung about it, and they said they cannot send replacement battery and I will have to send the phone for check up. For checkup I am charged $70.00, on top of that, they are NOT providing any loaner phone, and if they find out there is more problems with the phone they will charge more.
That's how they do business. It seems like phone is made to die within 1 or 2 year range as my sister had phone issues after using for little more a year. The battery life is NEVER of what he was described. Always dies super early and becomes unstable. DO NOT BUY SAMSUNG unless you plan to carry extra batteries or portable charger for 24/7. For me, I am done with their products, and will NEVER buy one of their phones again.

I called customer service and I was told that it was the color of the phone that is the problem. If I would have known when I purchased these phones I would have bought 2 of the same colors and I wouldn't have this problem.

My son locked his phone because he wasn't sure of the pin put on it. When the phone did the abnormal factory reset it would not accept the samsung account information. I contacted Samsung about this they asked several questions like am I sure it's not the Google account information or am I sure of the password, etc.
After dealing with all of that they wanted me to submit proof of purchase that provided the IMEI. I purchased this Galaxy S5 in Feb 2015 which required me to go back to the store 30 min away to get. I submitted the proof of purchase via the email they provided. I called back 2 days later. They said the ticket was closed because I didn't submit the proof of purchase. I was not informed of the cancellation of the ticket though I was required to provide my cell phone number and address for the ticket. So yet again another ticket had to be created. This time I emailed it and sent it via MMS and did the same every time after this. Yet again they didn't get it and closed my ticket without contacting me. So the 3rd time this happened again and a 4th. At this point I'm paying for a prepaid phone for my son so he's able to contact us. So time and money wasted because a tech company can't use technology.
We are presently at over 2 week, an hour of a trip to the phone store to the proof of purchase, and hours of wasted time calling Samsung to get this taken care of. So I called back yet again and asked the representative if I could just get a label to send the phone and put the proof of purchase in the box. This is what I did. When Samsung received the phone they call me to get the proof of purchase (I missed the call) WHICH WAS IN THE BOX WITH THE PHONE! I was completely frustrated already with the lack of service for something that was supposed to be a security measure to keep other people out of my son's phone not us.
I called them back livid. The representative informed me that they wanted to get the proof of purchase. I asked him if the company received the phone. He told me they did. I told him then they have the proof of purchase as it was in a small box to where they had no choice but to pick up the proof of purchase before they got to the phone. He proceeded to tell me that it was a different department ***do they not have scanners, email, etc to get information from one department to another??? What was the point of putting it in the box with the phone to have to still deal with this crap?***
So he provided me with a completely different email (which no one else I spoke with over the last 2 -3 weeks had to provide) and they received it. 1st they tell me that it was not the right information as the IMEI is not on it. I told them they weren't looking as it is on there since it is a copy of the original receipt from when I purchased the phone. They found it and I thought this mess was finally coming to an end.
So today I receive the phone back. When I sent the phone in the box I put the phone, battery, charger block, usb cord, and the sim was still in the phone as "they were not sure whether it had anything to do with the service" (which it's obvious it didn't). In the box today was the phone, battery, and the charger block... NO USB CABLE AND NO SIM CARD. I call back furious today and they try to tell me that it clearly says in the instructions when returning the phone to remove the sim card and sd cards. when in actuality it says, " 1. To help expedite service, write the Service order number on at least three sides of the box. 2. Please include the following accessories with the phone/tablet as it is required for troubleshooting: • Battery for the device (that was used when the problem occurred). • Charger Adapter (that was used when the problem occurred). • Charging Cable (that was used when the problem occurred).
Include the following if related to the problem experienced: • SIM Card. • Micro SD Card. • Screen Protector. 3. Please print and mark (X) on the items included in the shipping box to complete your Service Request. Required items if not sent may result in your device being returned without repair. • Battery (Required). • Charger Adapter (Required). • Charging Cable (Required). • SIM Card (If associated with the problem). • Micro SD Card (If associated with the problem). • Screen Protector (If associated with the problem). • Other"
He then informs me that they do not send back sim cards or sd cards to protect our security, which should be on the instructions as people expect to get their stuff back. Ok so now I will have to go back to the phone store or call and have them mail me one which further wastes my time. But everything is ok because they will be sending me out a replacement charging cable that I will have to wait 3-5 business days to get. This has been my worst experience ever. I have been a samsung user for the last 15 years and have stood by their products but this experience alone is enough to make me switch to another device as this was just too much.

I reported to Samsung that my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 was having a problem reading & writing from its MicroSD port. The phone reps questioned whether I had tried alternative MicroSD cards, and then also tried reading and writing these cards on alternative devices. I said yes, asserting that these tests of mine pointed to the internal MicroSD port on my device being defective. The rep(s) agreed with my assessment, and directed me to include one of my MicroSD cards that I couldn't read or write from. I included this card of mine, inserted in its tray, inserted into the device (it's important to note that this card did not contain any personal security critical information... just a load of old newspaper & magazine issues, a few news videos, etc).
A week or two after sending the unit in, I received it back from the Samsung repair center. The unit appeared to be untouched. An accompanying note from the Repair Center advised me that doing this kind of requested repair (analysing, fixing, or replacing a defective MicroSD drive) was "uneconomical" on this unit, so they didn't do anything... they just sent the unit back to me. The MicroSD card I had included inserted into its card-holder tray inside of my tablet was removed and sent back in a separate glassine envelope: The card was broken in half... destroyed. When I inquired about this odd damage, the Samsung Repair phone reps replied that this damage was intentionally performed by Samsung to "protect my privacy" from the prospect that someone in their shop might glimpse onto the contents of this MicroSD card... thus compromising my personal/private security.
My inclusion of this MicroSD card was essential to the nature of the repair that I was sending the unit in for... I was reporting that the unit was not able to read or write any of my three microSD cards... including one of these for the repair reps to see for themselves was essential to the repair process. Rather than apologizing to me for the destruction of the $75 MicroSD card of mine, the Samsung reps acted as if they did me a really big favor by destroying this card... to protect my personal private data from the prospect that one of their errant employees might surreptitiously glimpse this or that of my personal data possibly included on the MicroSD card.
I think this experience of mine points out that there's something seriously wrong with the thinking inside of the Samsung USA repair centers. Maybe this is a cultural divide issue of some sort? In any case, the USA Samsung Repair system appears to be seriously broken. Over the past ~10 years, this is the third time I've interacted with this USA Samsung Repair system - each time I had problems with Samsung's response (in each case, they didn't want to do the repairs). This latest experience of having them intentionally destroy a $75 part of mine for some nonsense imaginary security risk is the straw that breaks the camel's back. There's something seriously wrong with the thinking and behavior inside this odd company, and it makes sense for me to consciously avoid buying any more of their products in the future.

We had the same problem a lot of people have had. After an update the screen went black and has remained so yet you know it has power because the screen is not quite as black as when the tablet is off. We are so angry. We are not wealthy people and when you shell out almost 600 for a product from a reputable company you expect, rightfully so, the product you purchased is going to perform as advertised.

No option to continue music playing when phone rings or any type of notification comes in. So unless you shut off notifications your music will be filled with interruptions. I've set the priorities, on this and the phone does the same exact thing - no change. When I'm on a call the phone light goes off every time I attempt to hit "speaker" whether it's on or off.

ATT customer support was good except one retention operator told me to go to another company and have them buy my contract out, her name was Bridget. While on with Samsung, they told me that I needed to drive to Best Buy to have software reflash done, when I asked if ATT could do it, I was told that ATT didn't have the technical support that Best Buy could offer. At this point I want a phone that I can rely on and I guess Bridget was correct I need to find a company that will buy me out of my contract in order to get phones that will work.

Samsung galaxy 3 3016 - Their support, customer service was horrible. They did nothing and didn't help a bit. Had trouble day one, got from boost mobile, took back 7 times guy wouldn't replace. I had phone for one day, he kept screwing around and I said, "You are purposely doing this so the return warranty runs out." Then I talked to Samsung they did nothing, I would never buy Samsung again and Boost service. They are liars and care less. One time they were the best, no more $210.00 for this phone.

The company of this service centre they cannot give any type of answer or solution to the customer even. Also the phone is in guarantee period and they cannot give any cooperation to the customer. It is a very bad company. I have purchasing an samsung J7 2016 phone. My display was not working and my phone has 7 months old under the guarantee period but they cannot do me repair and he beg me an 6000Rs for his display. I will suggest the whole person that no one can purchase the Samsung model.

Battery on my Galaxy S6 started going bad after 14 months. When I called customer service they told me it was no longer under the 1 year warranty. So I asked what I could do about it. Instead of answering the woman from customer service then proceeded to lecture me on how it was my fault. So after she wasted 20 minutes lecturing me, I had to ask again, how can I resolve this issue? She then told me that they could replace the battery, for a charge. It took me another 10 minutes to get a price, because she needed more info that was irrelevant to the price of the repair. After the lecture I then decide to never purchase another Samsung product again!

I purchased this phone, it was very difficult migrating the info from iPhone to Samsung. Even though Samsung has an app, but it doesn't work properly so I had to back up all on iCloud and then create everything from scratch. This phone was for my wife, after a week the screen shattered out of nowhere. Contacted Samsung. Their customer service was horrible. They couldn't help and asked that someone would call me back. Few days later, I got a call, the lady said the best they could do is to discount the repair but I need to submit a proof of purchase even though they had all info about my account from AT&T. I questioned it but she didn't know better. Few days later I got another call to basically say that the proof of purchase is not needed but Samsung wouldn't help in the repair and I need to figure it out on my own. This is the worst experience I've ever had. I'm definitely going back to iPhone.

I bought the Samsung S6 Edge after using the Samsung mini. It had a bigger screen than the mini. At first I really liked the phone. I used it for 1 year. 1 month after the warranty expired, the phone starting overheating to the point it was too hot to touch. The battery was not holding a charge. Some days I had to charge it 3 or more times. I do not talk on the phone a lot and I do not download games or run movies on it. I phoned the carrier who said to call Samsung as there was a problem with their phones. The technician warned me not to carry the phone on me or use it close to my face in case it caught fire. I phoned Samsung 5 times. Each time I spoke with a person, talking about 20 minutes to over an hour, I was told to call back as the person who could help me was too busy to talk with me. I had a year left on the contract with the provider so the only way I can deal with this issue now is to purchase another phone and pay off the tab of $300.
Neither Samsung or Rogers wanted to help me out. It really sucks because when you google issues of Samsung phones, there are issues with all the Galaxy line phones, S6 and S6 edge and the 7's. There is a class action lawsuit against Samsung. I don't know why Providers like Rogers, Telus, Bell etc would even sell Samsung phones with these safety issues going on and then not try to help their customers when there is a problem regardless of the warranty. What would happen if I plugged my phone into my car to charge and it blew up or caught fire while I was driving? I don't feel safe using this product. I do NOT recommend Samsung at all. Their customer service is very poor. At the end of the day I ended up purchasing another brand of phone which cost me the $300. tab left over from the contract plus the new phone.

Do not buy S7 or any Samsung products ever!!! Samsung failed and lied to me over and over. I do not believe them ever again. In fact I will stay away from Samsung. They do not know how to take care of their Customers. Please choose another company!!! I just bought a brand new S7 defective. I was getting ready for a State Exam when I noticed my audio jack was defective. I called Samsung and I was shocked that they did not have a repair shop here in Atlanta. I called a few times until someone promised they will expedite the process and I will have my phone back in 3 days. It was hard to let go my phone with 4 kids and a Business I need to have my phone, but I believed what they said. They send me a label and I send it away. After a week, I checked and they just received the product. So they lied to me about expediting.
Another week passed by I called again and again and again. They do not want to transfer your call to the Executive team. I last hours and days on the phone with them with no results. I requested a refund to buy another phone right away, they keep saying "No we can't do that." One time I called and they transferred me to the Executive team and they hung up on me. One time I called and they transferred me to another department and when I supposed to get an Executive team on the line, I was on hold for about 50 minutes and lost the call again. They made a ticket for someone to call me back to resolve my issue and no one ever called me. It's been a month and still have not received my phone from them, saying that it was sent to another address, I do not believe them anymore. They lost my phone, it said 3 days and now is a month and do not have my phone yet???
I called this morning to be transferred to the Executive Team and of course someone in Philippines answered and for about 40 minutes she kept me on the phone and still did not want to transfer me to the Executive Team. She kept saying my phone is in Texas and I am in Atlanta and she was rude and careless and after 40 minutes with her she refused to transfer my call. I am done. I need to call the News at this point and let all Nations know what is going on with Samsung, how they value customers, how careless they are. How they lie and misrepresent customers.

I have had my Samsung Galaxy S6 for about a year. On Monday night 3/6/2017, I received an update and downloaded it. The next morning when I tried to make a call there was a message "unable to make a wireless connection". I went to my service provider (Sprint) and they tried to fix the problem various ways to no avail. Now my device has a new sim card, no data, useless. I called Samsung and a lady gave me a reference number and told me someone would get in touch with me within twenty four hours. While I was at Sprint they mentioned they had this problem with multiple devices within just the last two days, but they were able to correct those issues. Right now I am using my old S4, which I traded because it doesn't work right. I am an older person, I live by myself and the phone is my only means of communication in case I need help. I hope Samsung will be able to get my phone back to work, but unfortunately my data is gone.

You can't uninstall any of these apps or Updates because they are "Samsung Operating Apps"!

BOO on Samsung on the Galaxy S7. I have had the Samsung Galaxy products and have been generally satisfied. My S5 went poof one day for no reason. The screen just went black. So much for warranty with my provider. I pay how much for the phone, then how much for a warranty, and now to pay $100 for a "refurb." Not. I was only a couple months from an upgrade but was forced into immediate action.
I asked for the 6 but all they had was the S7 or 7 Edge. Can we say, after 30 days I wanted to return it as I am SO dissatisfied. Oh, you only have 14 days. This phone is awful. Talk to text is a joke as IF it works, it comes up with some off-the-wall stuff. "OK GOOGLE"... Yeah, "okay don't work" is more like it. "Touch ID to unlock" -- I'm lucky if it ever works, and I've gone back and deleted and started over thinking it would work. No such luck.
If you're using a car charger, the phone gets so hot, it will not work because it's overheating. While I am, or have been, a dedicated Samsung customer, this is one of the worst products. Sadly, I'm stuck for another year and a half in a contract and paying for this piece of trash. So unhappy with this phone and even worse that I am stuck with it for another 18 months unless I want to pay $100 for another phone that will be used yet I will still be paying for the cost of the original phone.

I did mention whether it needed bubble wrap, but he said, "It should be secure." Samsung has just called me and said the screen has several cracks on it and to fix it will cost £65. I have argued with them but they will not honor the warranty saying it has damage. The phone wouldn't boot up but they say it because of the cracks screen!!!

I must begin by stating this is the first review I have ever done. Even when I am dissatisfied with service somewhere I still do not go out of my way to write a review, but the service I received from Samsung was unbelievable. It all began when I had my new galaxy 7 sent to Samsung for repair, due to a jammed Sim card. I had just received the phone as a Christmas present. Samsung received my package on January 9th according to the tracking of UPS. Some time had passed and I had received no update on the progress of my phone, so I decided to call Samsung myself. I made a call to Samsung technical support on January 16th. That is when the technician informed me that the package had been received empty.
I was very concerned at this point because no one has called me at this time to inform me of this matter, and here it is... a week later. The technician explained to me that a case with UPS was opened on my behave in regards to the package. I then took it upon myself then, to contact UPS directly to see where they were at with my claim. UPS then informed me that they did not see such a claim. At that time I became further alarmed. I then called Samsung back and informed them of what UPS told me. I was able to speak to the same young man I spoke with earlier. He stated to me that the reason UPS did not have it, was because he was just filing it. This came as a shock to me because Samsung had received my package on January 9th. That is a full week without filing a report or informing the customer.
I then proceeded to ask him what Samsung's policy and procedures are for filing reports such as mine, and he could not answer my question. After getting off the phone with him, I figured I would call back and perhaps hopefully speak with someone who was more helpful. When I called back I spoke with a young lady this time, who was equally unhelpful but was able to connect me to executive claims. I then asked them what Samsung's policy was, and they too could not tell him. What I gathered from my series of uneventful conversations, was that no one at Samsung knew what their policy was. They informed me that someone would be contacting me within 2 weeks in regards to the progress of my claim.
Two weeks go by and I still hear nothing. I call Samsung to try and get an update. The representative I spoke with, informed me that the claim is still being investigated and that they were waiting to hear back from UPS, and that it could take an additional up to eight days, and that someone would be giving me a call. A week goes by and still no one calls me, so then I call back. I then spoke with a representative who said that this matter should have been taken care of and that she was going to escalate it higher and that someone would be giving me a phone call within the end of the next week.
Another week goes by and still no phone call. I then took it upon myself to call UPS and see if there was any progress on my claim. UPS then stated to me that they did not see a claim opened up for me. At this point I was in utter shock. At this point it was quite clear that I was being given the runaround. I then called Samsung once again to check on the progress of my claim a few days later. The representative once again told me the same story that they were waiting for UPS to update them on the claim. I then had a three way phone call with UPS and Samsung to try to get the matter resolved. The Samsung representative then told me that it was being handled on Samsung's end and that it would take 8 days for them to update the information and someone would be calling me. 8 days go on and still no one calls me!
Last Monday I called Samsung yet again to find out about the status of my claim only to hear the same story that it's still being investigated and that someone would call me back within eight days. Getting tired of hearing the same story from Samsung representatives and no one being able to provide me with answers or connect me to a department in which I can talk to someone who can make some action happen; I call UPS again. The UPS claims department informed me that this claim had been closed due to the fact that Samsung said that they were handling the situation, even though Samsung was telling me a completely different story.
Today's date is now March 2nd and I still have no resolution on my package. I'm now being told by Samsung representative that the claim was reopened on February 27th and that it would take 8 days for there to be any resolution. Not only have I never received a phone call from anyone from Samsung but I have repeatedly being told the same script over and over again concerning my package with absolutely no resolution or steps taken to compensate me for my lost package. This is been the most horrendous process I have ever had to experience with any company!
I originally contacted Samsung January 16th and now it is March 2nd and no one has been able to offer me any kind of resolution. Not only that, but no one seems to know what the process is at Samsung for items that are received damaged. Not only was Samsung negligent in reporting my claim when originally received, but I continuously received extremely substandard customer service when trying to contact Samsung about the package. Samsung is the worst company I have ever had to interact with. At this point I just want a refund from my phone so I can go with a completely different company. I will never purchase from them again.

I purchased a Galaxy S7 cell phone online as a new phone in sealed package. When I first got it, it worked good. After about 4 months, it began to get warm and continued over the next 4 months getting progressively worse. The last 2 months it would sometimes get so hot that I could hardly hold it and it would stop working. None of the buttons would work until I would let it cool down completely. I tried the factory recommended reset procedures without any good results. I even backed it up and did a factory restore to new condition. Within a week it was doing the same thing. I contacted Samsung in the US Texas location and they said they couldn't do anything because it was an international version.
So I contacted Samsung in the UK. They were much more helpful, but said I would need to get service in the US. I went back to the Texas location to the executive offices and they said the international version of the S7 phone has no warranty on it. The phone battery finally burned up after 8 months of normal use charging the phone with Samsung's factory charger. I spent $675 and started having problems after a few months, but Samsung says there is no warranty. If they are going to sell phones (and etc.) for premium prices with no warranty and subjecting their customers to personal injury, they should be put out of business.
The articles I've read about Samsung overheating problems say that if you have problems with your new S7, just contact Samsung and they will be glad to help - that customer service is high priority to them. Just the opposite is true, they couldn't get away from me fast enough and have no interest in good customer service that I could see. We hear about scammers on the internet, that's them Samsung Scammers Inc.

After upgrade phone much slower and battery didn't last a full day anymore. Almost 2 months ago the system was upgraded again. After upgrade phone started rebooting often. Then it went into recovery mode. I reset system back to original but would only go into recovery mode and then died. Took it to Best Buy where they have Samsung support. They tried flashing it and it was still dead. While I was there, 2 more people came in with same problem.
Contacted Samsung support. The representative I spoke with told me it was out of warranty. I told him they were the ones that did upgrade that killed my phone. Representative put me on hold and then told me they were going to fix it but it would cost me $70. He took my credit account info and told me I would get a label and to send it to Samsung repair service. Two days later I didn't receive label so I called again. I was told by another rep that they were not going to fix phone because it was out of warranty. I explained to her how they agreed to fix it, etc. She asked if I received a receipt for $70, which I did not. She just kept saying it was out of warranty and they would not fix it. I spoke to a supervisor who said the same thing but told me to send it to repair center and they would do a manufacturer flash. He sent me a label and I mailed the phone to the repair center.
A few days later I received a call from Samsung repair center saying they were sending phone back untouched because it was out of warranty and they were only working on Note 7 phones now. When I received the phone back there was a note saying that after Sept 2016 they were not working on any phones out of warranty. Of course that is around the time they did upgrade that killed the phones. I now have an expensive paperweight. Thank you Samsung.

Let me tell ya there are many things to love about this phone and many things to hate. I loved it for about the first week then I started noticing issues. For one I have had to get a few new chargers cause the charging piece inside the phone is weak so you have to position it just right to get it to actually charge. I have had it on the charger for hours before then needed to go somewhere. Grabbed the phone and boom it is dead. The camera sucks compared to my old s5 camera which is weird since I went from five to six just many other things are wrong to but overall I think that it is still better than the competitor's phones.

Asked if I could be removed from future updates and they also told me this is impossible and that future updates would also be mandatory. No function to stop them from coming.

Upon collection I found the screen cracked and the store refuses to take responsibility for fixing it but rather wants to claim it under the phones warranty which cannot be done since all paperwork for the phone has been lost. This treatment is far from customer care, it is despicable that Samsung refuses to take responsibility for their negligence and repair the damage that they did. Worst customer relations experience, to think that they are a world class organisation and customer care falls so low on their list of priorities.

I had my two month old Samsung Note 5 plugged into the fast charger until it was fully charged. I unplugged it and went to make a phone call right away. The back of the phone felt warm but it wasn't hot. When the call was done and I tried to hit the end call button the screen kept going black and freezing. After I finally got the call to end I restarted the phone. At this point it has been less than 5 minutes since I unplugged it from the fast charger. Then I made another call. I was on that call for 10-15 minutes.
Towards the end of the call I all of a sudden felt something rough under my finger. When the call was done I looked at the back of the phone and the glass was shattered in between the camera and flash, and the cracks ran down to the bottom. I have never dropped the phone. I have treated the phone like a fragile egg, I don't even set it down on hard surfaces. I always set it down on soft surfaces because I didn't want to scratch it. I don't carry it in pockets or loosely in my purse. And again, it has NEVER been dropped.
It literally shattered in my hand while I was on a phone call. It's bad enough that you have to worry about your screen shattering but now you have to worry about the back of your phone also shattering and WITHOUT even dropping it. It has to have something to do with the battery getting too hot. I'm not even going to waste my time trying to get it repaired under warranty because from what I've read they don't want to acknowledge that this is even possible even though it has happened to many people. They just say "You had to have dropped it." I only gave it one star because it wouldn't let me give zero stars.

I called to confirm this and see if maybe they were going to replace the phone and a woman on the other side of the planet told me I would not be receiving a new phone even though it was still under warranty.

Bought a galaxy s6 on May 29th 2015 ($700 value). Up until about 2 weeks ago, it was working perfectly fine. I am very careful with my phone, all phones I've ever owned. Never dropped it in water before, never scratched the screen, nothing. So then how come when I went to turn it on after it was finished charging, it never did? I searched every way to force restart by holding down a combination of buttons, ex. hold volume down while holding power button, hold volume up while holding power button. Every combination. Even did those all when it was plugged in. Tried it numerous times, several days and nothing was working.
Took it to some repair place and I was hoping it was just a easy fix, because what was most important to me was my 18th birthday & Christmas photos and videos. I know I should've backed them up but I didn't have time to yet. So this guy diagnosed my phone and the result was that it was just unresponsive. They tested the screen, the charging port, and he said it's most likely the motherboard.
So for extra confirmation we took it to a Samsung authorized repair center and it was diagnosed again, paid $40 and they said it just couldn't be fixed. Basically they would need to order a motherboard for $500 then the repair itself is $200 so it just wasn't worth it. Even then, the result was that I would lose my photos anyway because all the information is on that logic board. $700? Might as well buy a new phone!??
Anyways, after calming down and hoping samsung could do something about it (even though my year warranty was over) we called customer relations to talk to someone that could help. Multiple times I got disconnected randomly and had to call back and start all over. At one point, a guy told us that they could do a one time fix which I would be all for considering they OWE that to me. Then got passed to someone else and we were told they can't do ANYTHING. NOTHING? Paid $700 for a year and a half use. And I guess it's just dead? Ok.
The funny thing is that it's hard to explain that I've done nothing to damage the phone, and they were blaming me. IMAGINE; if you paid years of warranty services and your phone stops working like mine, they would say it was your fault you damaged it so they can't help you. WTF is the point of the warranty then anyways?
I don't know any other way to prove that I've done nothing to damage the phone. I'm getting no help here and all want to do is give up, but I'm not going to before I let samsung know their phones are ** and I'm NEVER buying your terrible quality phones again. NEVER. Not my parents, not my children, not my children's children, never. Did I mention I had an iphone for 3 years with no problems at all??? Apple will receive my money with arms wide open. I'M DONE!

They are assuming that I had press the bezel so hard that's why a gap create and fooling me.
I had called to Samsung high authority Mr **. I have told him, "there is a scheme from your end that who bought the product is September they will get free 1 time screen replacement warranty only in 1000 rs. In India everybody knows that.

I purchased this phone 3 months ago and immediately put it into a protective case. Recently in the car it slid off the middle console and it was after that I noticed what I thought was a smudge, it was a hairline crack. I brought it into Verizon who said it shouldn't have cracked as it is Gorilla Glass. I contacted Samsung who authorized me to mail it to them for repair. If I had it repaired outside it would void my water resistance warranty. So I mailed it back to them and received an email that it was "discolored" from "abuse" and shipped back. No courtesy call, no email asking did I want to pay for a repair, just shipped back. My husband called. It was already in the shipping cue but we could take it to a Samsung authorized dealer in Manhattan and pay $70 to repair it.
I chatted with Samsung and they claimed they don't do these repairs any longer. Then why did customer service approve it for repair? Why did their tech reject it? Why did they not contact us before shipping it back? Why tell me to take it to Manhattan? I do not live near Manhattan. Why did their customer chat claim it was no longer under warranty when the phone is 3 months old? This phone is expensive. I expect decent customer care. DO NOT EVER PURCHASE A SAMSUNG PHONE. Their customer service is also outsourced. We have had to call multiple numbers and they keep passing us around to different departments.

I'm a Samsung client since the Galaxy S2. I had a S2, S3, S4, S6 Edge and now I own the Galaxy S7 Edge. I never had a problem with any of these products, I was pleased with Samsung. But 12 days ago, I noticed a dead pixel on my S7 edge. OK, not a big deal, I called Samsung customer service and they opened a ticket to fix/replace my product under the warranty (I bought my S7 edge around 3 month ago). My problems started after they told me that I had to send my product to TEXAS and wait around 7~15 business days to receive an answer.
Believe me, around the US they have only around 4 authorized places that you can send you products to repair or inspect. It took around 10 days to receive my phone at home. GOOD, the fixed the problem. The replaced my LCD. But, nothing is perfect, they fixed one problem and sent the phone with new problems. The earpiece speaker is not working, if I receive a call or make one, the sound is not clear, low volume and crackling. Looks like there is a plastic film on the speaker. Also, the loudspeaker sometimes work, sometimes does not work. Now I had to call Samsung again, and after all, they only say "sorry, I know how it is hard, bla bla bla." They opened a new ticket and I need to send my phone again to repairs, wait more 7~15 business day to have my phone back and, if I have luck, working as it should be.
I'm not here to say that Samsung is the worst company in the word or something like that but to tell you how it works if you have a problem with your device. Samsung, we need our cellphones to work, travel, make calls, we can't stay around 15 days with no phone. You should look around you and see how other company work in cases like that. You can sell millions around the word but to keep all these customers you have to look forward, beyond the sales and take care, support you client.

Samsung covered the cost of the repair by authorized Samsung dealer in Richmond BC, after we paid for the charger which also was damaged by overheating. After repair we noticed phone was still overheating to a point where you could not hold close to the face.
We made many calls to Samsung service and finally have been informed that no repair documentation can be find in their files. The service department refused to replace phone. That was the last Samsung product we purchased.

I bought the 5 from Metro PCS and as soon as I plugged it in it gave me a warning to use the cord that came with the phone. It was the one came with it.

Samsung Handset SM-N910GZWEINS, bearing serial RZ8GB15T1NM. My warranty will be over on 31st of Dec, I just want to convey that there will no scope for me to accept your repair for this long time. Now Samsung had took their service to next level and no regret for that. I am not here to do business or any negotiations over the repair. I am feeling mentally harassed by Samsung over their inability to repair and poor customer support for the same. My phone has battery issue or motherboard issues. I am not expert of that. Service centre took both of them in their custody, well known doubt for note series for its battery which is serious.
This is not right stage to offer a standby handset anybody after 25 days and keeping me hold for the repair. Stop killing time and accept the facts. You have to be wise with the ongoing situation. Only two solutions are possible: 1) Fresh handset with new imei no (Replacement New), 2) Full refund of my Billed amount as Samsung is at fault.
Samsung can't keep me on hold for 20 to 30 days for any repairs. I really doubt that, will it possible for me to use Samsung phone in near future. Mistakes In My view are: 1) Advance information from service centre within time frame max 4 to 5 days for delay in repair. 2) Should provide backup handset within above time frame. 3) Should discard any repair beyond permissible time frame say 10 days and start refund or replacement of new handset to customer. 4) In this mobile Samsung should act swiftly and resolve within time frame as it is part of day to day life.

Took phone to AT&T, they attempted to remote in, could not even remote in. At 13 months took to Best Buy, they saved all data to zip drive, reset phone. Still will not work. Contacted SAMSUNG, got email back from India asking what did I want? Emailed them I wanted the phone repaired or replaced. Nothing. Emailed 12/6/16 to Executive team, no response. 12/13/16 Called service, was told out of warranty, no repairs would be made, they do not have parts and it is out of warranty.
Asked for Executive team, phone call transferred, they assured me someone would call back in 30 minutes... never got a call. Bottom line, they have ZERO customer service, they do not care if you buy their product, they are not going to stand behind it. Their suggestion, "go purchase a new phone.

I am very disappointed in my recent Samsung purchases. I recently bought a phone from them through AT&T and it won't send clear videos and quits stops loading. Taking forever to get signal. They talking about AT&T persuaded me to buy a new tablet. It's only 99cents they say. "It's so much faster and better than your other tablets." So I did and I'm paying only 10.00 a month for it which wouldn't be bad if it ever worked. I've contacted AT&T cause I bought it through them. They say "go to store" so after 2 hours on phone and more calling Samsung asking for a replacement as well no luck. So to the store I go only to hear "you can't leave it with us to check it, you have to stay." I don't live right down the road from there so I said "no I have a baby with me."
Long story short phone not working right after a month, tablet never worked and AT&T who was supposed to call me back in 3 minutes they say to redo my phone after 2 previous AT&T helpers who couldn't and turned me to someone else, even put in it was requesting a phone interview, don't even have. Because I bought a new one the end of October 16. So after 25 years of service with AT&T we are finished as soon as I pay off the pitiful products I own.
And as for Samsung who was my favorite I am no longer purchasing any items from them, not even the TV I was fixing to purchase. I'm very upset with these companies. They are refusing to honor customer satisfaction and I'm tired of wasting time on the phone trying to fix something that isn't old enough not to work. Thanks y'all for listening, hope this helps.

Wow! Feeling really upset right now. Just got off the phone with a Marylo... a customer representative at Samsung. Here's the story... I bought an A5 for my son on Black Friday 2015. My son owned an iPhone prior to the purchase. After 3 weeks with the A5 my son complained that the pictures were poor quality. I took a pictures as well... The images were indeed really bad. I brought the phone to where I bought it and they sent in for repair. Picked up the phone 2 weeks later. They said they installed a new camera. My son said the quality of pictures was the same... no different from before. Had to buy him a new iphone and eat the cost of the A5. I own a Samsung Note 3 that I'm really happy with and decided to keep this A5 as a back up.
Several months later I started using the A5... Pictures were very blurry. Brought it in again... Reset the phone to factory and didn't leave the pictures on the unit. It come back nothing was wrong with the phone. I took a lot of pictures... This time I left the pictures on the phone as proof to how bad this camera takes pictures. The phone provider where I bought the phone didn't want nothing to do with it so I called Samsung. First they said the phone was over the warranty period... I bought this November 2015. I sent them the proof of purchase. They sent me a prepaid shipping label... I get an email they received the unit. Then I get this weird email says my service reference has been cancelled. Reason... Cost issue - out of warranty.
This is where I call Samsung to get clarification about the email. It starts with the first representative... He says the phone is damaged and no longer under warranty... That the camera has a scratch in the lens and that's the reason why it doesn't work. I had this phone in for repair on October 25th and they found nothing at all... Now all of a sudden there's a scratch on the lens. There's no way the unit all of a sudden has a scratch on the camera lens. I ask to speak to a manager... He replies they're in a meeting. Then he says I can speak to customer care, I say okay. This is where it goes south... She says the phone has a scratch in the camera lens and there's water damage and it will cost $450 to repair... WHAT!! I say "You're nuts." Sent my phone back immediately... She says there's a $25 out of warranty fee for looking at the phone... WTF.
I just got the phone back October 25th from my phone provider... Took some pictures and went back to the store... They didn't want anything to do with this phone so I then sent it to Samsung on October 31st with the pictures on the phone to show the quality was very poor and blurry. Samsung must be in a lot of trouble financially if they have to resort to doing this to customers. I will have a hard time buying a Samsung phone or other device after this saga. BUYER BEWARE!!!

After more than a month of the phone sitting at the Service center, they returned the phone back today un-repaired stating that the phone had physical damage, and hence is not covered under warranty. I barely had the phone for a month with me during which I took best care of it, and the phone was with service center people for more than 2 months who don't care any damn about the phone and had damaged the phone by dropping it or whatever, and now they want to charge me for repairs stating that the phone suffered physical damage, and is against Samsung policy to cover phone if it's had damage.
There was absolutely no damage when I had the phone with me, so, it had to have been incurred by the Service people, and this is a fraudulent practice from Samsung guys to make more money by forcing customers to pay for repairs. This is absolutely ridiculous and harassing. I spoke to their customer service, and their only statement is that they go by what service center states. That means Service guys can break the phone and put the blame back to customers to pay for the repairs even if it's under warranty.

It does not work with the Bluetooth interface of any device or car I have owned, with the exception of the Roku 3. Every other brand of phone with Bluetooth has connected to, synced contacts with and allowed me to place voice BT calls, with the exception of the NOTE 5 which will not even properly send the contacts to my cars.
Since phones from a lowly LG to Morotola's Droid, Droid X, Droid Razr Maxx and Droid Maxx have all functioned FLAWLESSLY with no intervention except to click "allow" when the phone prompts for permission to allow the cars' Bluetooth systems to access the phone contacts. I have tried every trick, Android app, you name it and this phone is not compatible with MANY car BT systems. Of course the fact that Samsung is in the middle of a massive recall of the Note 7 BECAUSE IT OVERHEATS AND CATCHES ON FIRE AND IS DISALLOWED ON AIRCRAFT should tell us something about Samsung's commitment to customer service and quality. They make pretty devices and that is all that can be said for them. I cannot WAIT to get rid of this piece of junk and switch back to Motorola which has never failed me.

They're the ones that deal with these problems. I called them and told them what happened. The man on the phone said that they couldn't do anything about the cracked the screen. And that the S7 Edge is known to get warm or heat up. Because the back of the phone is so thin and it's right next to the processor so that's why it gets warm. He then told me that I could bring it in they could check it and see if there's anything wrong with it. Or if there's an app not running right. But they still can't do anything about the crack screen.
I told him I don't care about the cracked screen. I'm worried about how hot it gets. He then tells me again that I can bring it in they can test it but they're not going to replace my phone because of the cracked screen. What part of I don't care about the crack screen do they not get. I'm worried about how hot the phone gets.

After my phone did the overnight update and reboot, I got a message across the screen that my android system had stopped working. My phone got real hot to the point, when I picked it up I dropped it and it cracked. I contacted Sprint and they informed me to take the phone to a local Sprint Store. I took the phone to the Sprint Store on Corunna Rd, in Flint MI. The Associate plugged the phone up and she felt that the phone was getting hot after being on the charger for approx. 2 mins. But she said she see that the phone is overheating and normally they would replace the phone, but due to the phone being cracked they couldn't do anything.
I called Sprint said that they could not do anything because the phone was damaged, even though I dropped the phone because it got hot. They told me to call Samsung since my phone is still under warranty, but Samsung told me at this time they are not honoring any warranties, and that all warranties are void and that if they were honoring warranties, mine would be void because of damage and that Samsung had no knowledge of an overheating issue with the S7. But, I was told by a Samsung representative that they have knowledge of some overheating problems with the s7, but they are looking into it. They are not sure if it is the OS or the battery, but they have not had enough complaints to make it public. But when I called back; after Sprint would not do anything but tell me to make an insurance claim, pay the deductible and get a new phone, Samsung denied any knowledge of the S7 overheating, just the Note 7.
But there has been several complaints about the S7 and the S7 Edge overheating and problems after the phone updates. I'm paying a phone bill for phone service and a phone that I have not been able to use for over a week. Also, there are two lines on the service plan that I am on and the other phone was sitting on the table on the charger, he took his phone off the charger and sat it back down, when he picked it up, it was very hot and it cracked in his hand. Again he was denied replacement or repairs. There have been several complaints about this phone, but providers and Samsung are not doing anything about it. The phones and service are under: Abe **'s name. We on the same contract with Sprint.

I wanted to reset my mobile phone to factory settings. So I backed up my data to my Gmail and my Samsung account and then followed every step to reset the mobile phone. After the reset I reached the point where I could restore my data, as of course I did. At the point there was a small message that there is a problem and to try later and I did. The result was that I lost a lot of data that was really important for my job and the university. I called Samsung and after 2 days of talking the final answer was "Yes. You lost them. Thank you. Bye".

I'm writing the review to inform Samsung that I wish I had kept my Note 5. The edge feature on the Note 7 is terrible you can't even put a screen saver over the screen because it continues to come up because of the curve. You already had a curve phone out there why mess up the Note series. I wanted to put a defender otter case on the phone but the curve causes a problem there also. And why would you give us a phone where the mini storage card can't read everything from the phone like what was done in the past. I don't get this. What a mess.
This phone may be too smart for some of us but I never had as much trouble with my Note 5 as I'm having with this thing. With the Note five if I picked a phone number as the primary number for calling someone then all programs on the phone would know that this was the person's primary number. NOT HAPPY. CAN YOU PLEASE TAKE THE CURVE OFF THE NEXT NOTE LINE AND MAKE IT SLIGHTLY LARGER? MY GOODNESS.

I have had nothing but trouble with my Samsung Galaxy S6. I only got it on contract end of January 2016. It has been returned twice already with numerous software and hardware faults. At the moment, after yet another software upgrade, the screen now refuses to stay on any page other than the home page. If I attempt to text, or Google or anything really that the phone should routinely do, the return and close buttons keep flashing, the option boxes will alternately drop down and the page is instantly returned back to the home page. Very annoying and totally impractical. I know numerous others that have had problems with these phones from day one. There is clearly a manufacturing fault with them and they should be recalled. They are not cheap and are not fit for purpose. How can Samsung, as a company, leave loyal customers with defective phones?
I have been a Samsung user since mobile phones came out. But I am seriously considering jumping ship to iPhone, and I dislike the Apple monopoly to their phones intensely. I do not believe that consumers should be subjected to such low standards of Customer Service. I have been practically told by my network provider that if I am given a new phone after the 3rd repair, it will almost certainly have the same issues and I will go through this all again. If this is the case, and it is well documented the phones are defective, then they should be withdrawn and corrected. I only want a phone and this does not even function as one. I have had issues with virtually every aspect that should be a fundamental action for a phone. Samsung are failing in their duty to the consumer to rectify these phones and recall them.
I am disappointed beyond words with the Galaxy S6 and advise anyone considering getting one, not to. Their primary action should be to function as a mobile phone, not really very hard considering how technology has progressed. Samsung however, seem to have overlooked this. They have tried to pack so much into the phones that they no longer do the job for which they were intended. I might as well throw mine away for all the use I have had out of it and go back to using a basic mobile phone that at least functions as one. What is disgusting is that I have over a year left on my contract and Samsung have ruined my user experience with their inferior build quality and neglectful attitude towards the people who actually keep them in their jobs.

I purchased a Galaxy S5 phone from Walmart and noticed a crack in the glass. I thought it was a scratch and couldn't figure how it was possible and later realized it was a crack, not a scratch. I contacted Walmart and they said I needed to contact Samsung. Samsung kept putting me on hold 15 mins., on average. The last # they gave me was a site that asked personal medical questions that was none of their business so I called the previous number and was told they couldn't give me support. Samsung support isn't there and I would refrain from purchasing their product. The Samsung ticket # is ** and the transcript # is **.
When I purchased the phone I was staying at Chewonki's Big Eddy campsite and had to replace the phone because my previous phone's wi-fi wouldn't work. I rarely used the new phone since I was out of cell tower range and on occasion went to the office to send an email but anything else was too, slow. I have no idea how the face had cracked since it was in a safe place in my truck but they not only refused to help but put me on hold for 15+ minutes at a time and eventually gave me a number that asked very personal questions about health issues. VERY strange.

The customer wait time is horrible, over 30 minutes and all they can say is "high volume of calls'. All I needed was a UPS slip emailed to me so I could send my phone back for repair or replacement per the Executive Customer Service office. Phone was purchased in Feb 2016, with insurance. Samsung initially refused to repair, but after speaking with an 'executive' agent, I was told to call in when the phone was returned to me and I would be issued another UPS shipping document so I could return the phone. I am still waiting for not only the document but for a person to talk to. So far, I have waited over 40 minutes and still nothing. Customer service is horrible and it is impossible to get results, let alone a person to talk to or get a resolution.
Finally spoke to a person who, after finding out that my prior phone call had been recorded, seemed to find my information and verify that I would either have a repair or replacement phone. I was emailed another shipping label and new ticket number. I sent the phone back to Plano TX for repair/replacement. Today, 9/29, I received the unrepaired phone. NOT REPLACED OR REPAIRED as promised by their 'Executive Customer Relations' office. I am on hold again, waiting to see what happens. Thankfully, my phone calls are recorded so I can verify what I have been promised.

This is in regards to the complaint of Samsung handset bearing model code SM-G93ĺ5FZDUINS & serial number RZ8H40L9PNX. This instrument I purchased on 14.05.2016 from Noida. Within 3 months its display got faulty which has been replaced by Samsung. But after this repair, performance of mobile got deteriorated. It started hanging, low response of touch screen, scratches on touch screen etc. After going through long channel of complaint, Samsung is not agreeing for its replacement/refund. They are justifying the product is ok and problem may be with apps or other. Of course they are being paid for that only not for the satisfaction of the customer. Now in spite of my various mails to their complaint centre, to their CEO desk they are not responding at all.
I have spent my hard earned money to a flagship item of Samsung not to go for their complaint cycle and repairs every month. Why the item became faulty within three month? I am using it and finding the difference after repair then why Samsung is not replacing? Why they are not responding? In my opinion they are cheater and they even cannot protect their flagship item also. Their customer support is the worst part. I will have to choose other suitable way to protect and claim my hard earned money. I will advise not to purchase any item of this brand as they have no ethics and cheating the customers.

Samsung has confirmed that I have a defective phone from them. However, they will not replace it. They expect me to send them my phone, wait for a repair, and then they will send it back. No help whatsoever, and I was told that if I am not happy with their process I should not buy Samsung products. Good idea people!

Wasted hours of my time dealing with their support channels over a Note 7 recall. Tried calling, using twitter, direct messaging - and got nowhere. Aside from the recall replacement phone having battery issues, they wouldn't even replace a screen protector I purchased for my original phone that was useless when removed from the recalled phone. They have no care or concern about helping me with my loss due to their faulty product that was recalled. Horrible. I feel stolen from.

I bought a dual-SIM Note 7 from abroad (Singapore). When the Note 7 recall was announced by Samsung, I contacted the retailer, who offered a full refund. I said I'd rather exchange the faulty phone (which has a defective battery that may explode) for a 'safe' one, if possible. The retailer enquired with Samsung in Singapore, who told them to tell me I could exchange the phone through Samsung support in my country of residence. They even posted the same thing on their website: "Please contact the Samsung Customer Service Centre in your residing country for information on the exchange process in your residing country. We assure you that we will be assisting all Galaxy Note 7 customers in the exchange, regardless of your residing country and the country where you purchased the device."
I contacted Samsung support in my country of residence and after providing details and waiting several days, they told me that Samsung in Singapore were the responsible office, so I'd have to contact them. I contacted Samsung in Singapore, who expressed surprise that the exchange hadn't been handled locally, but said they would escalate it. After waiting several days, they said I can only exchange it if I send it at my own expense to someone in Singapore who is willing to bring it to Samsung and exchange it, then send the new phone back to me.
If they won't exchange a Note 7 from Singapore outside of Singapore, then they should have said so, rather than lying to the retailer and lying on their website. I've wasted almost two weeks on this nonsense and in the end, Samsung did absolutely nothing. Even if I did know someone in Singapore, the deadline for arranging an appointment is Sunday, and I have a lot of things to do, so I doubt I could get it arranged in time.
I guess all I can do now is hope that I can still return it for a refund to the retailer. It's very frustrating to have wasted so much time and to have had to deal with Samsung reps who apparently lie to retailers, customers and visitors to their website, to avoid taking responsibility for replacing defective products. All they had to do was say, two weeks ago, that they wouldn't exchange it. I could have returned it to the retailer at once and bought something else (or waited for the 'safe' Note 7 models to be offered for sale).

I stepped outside the box and tried the S5. Worse decision ever! The phone is the second one I had to purchase due to phone literally falling apart! The phone stays extremely hot ALL the time! So hot you can barely touch it! The memory is terrible! Everything freezes ALL the time! The spelling is terrible! Back of phone is very loose and falls off. I don't receive messages at times and the speaker on the phone is the worst low quality speaker I've ever had. Flip phones are louder! When on the phone with people I have to have it on speaker or it sounds muffled! Worst $400 I've spent in a long time! I'll never give Samsung another dime of my money, as their customer service isn't important to them!!!

I bought the Samsung Note 5 on 2nd Feb 2016 and since last 2 weeks the mobile is getting overheat. I have requested the Samsung customer service to repair. They asked me to send the mobile to their repair center and I did it. They sent my device back to me with statement saying that the repair cost is beyond the economic repair cost. I don't know what they are talking, my mobile still has manufacturer warranty and how could they say it's beyond the economic repair cost. They returned my mobile with broken edges and my s pen is no longer inject into S Pen slot. Once after I received my device 3 days I tried to contact the executive customer care people. Every time they say they have very long queue to talk to them. Still I have get chance to talk to them regarding mobile.

My first cell phone was a Samsung... and I promise this Galaxy S6 will be last Samsung I will ever buy... I bought new Galaxy S6 last week of January 2016. The last week of February the screen went BLACK... FACTORY DEFECT... Of course I'm paying $800 for this new phone... and VERIZON makes me take a refurbished phone. After 4 refurbished bad phones I'm stuck with this one #5... that blacks out constantly. I can't read a recipe or send a message without blackouts... and the fast charging cord is down to showing wires and shocking me. Had to invest more money into this crappie refurbished phone. In this message alone... so far... I've had 14 blackouts.
Thank God for social media... I've warned all my friends and family. STAY AWAY FROM SAMSUNG AND VERIZON... unless you have money to throw away. I'm saving my money now... and my next phone WILL NOT BE A SAMSUNG... AND I WON'T BUY PHONES FROM VERIZON. I'm buying new iPhone this time from Walmart. They do stand by their sales unlike SAMSUNG OR VERIZON... but for next few month I pay for the new phone I was so excited to get that turned out to be an ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE. I always thought SAMSUNG would value their phones' performance. Boy was I wrong... Yes I've been back to VERIZON store... and yes that was a joke. Of course I can give them another $100 and get yet another phone that doesn't work... I don't think so... This GALAXY S6 and buying it from VERIZON worst mistakes I've made in years.

I went into a phone retailer store on August 28th of 2016. Upon trying to purchase the Note 7, I was told it was out of stock, EVERYWHERE IN THE CITY! I took this as a good sign for the device. I was told that I could open a line and then drive to a different store in another city the following day to try to purchase the phone and I would still be allowed to receive the promotion of the Samsung watch that comes with it since I opened a line, and since it was not a fault of my own that there were no phones available around town. So on the 29th of August I drove 2 HOURS AWAY to attempt to get the phone. Finally after going to a few stores I found one that had on phone left.
I was upset however when the store employee told me I could not get the promotion since it was the day after it ended. I was told to contact Samsung in regards to this since this was their promotion. I called Samsung and after explaining the situation was told it did meet the criteria since opening the line counted as reserving the phone. So I went back and explained what they asked me to say to the phone company employee. They said ok and I purchased the phone outright, OVER $800 DOLLARS!!!
I go online to Samsung to put in the information to get the promotion and am told after sending the PDF required file that I do not meet the requirements for this!!! I call back and am told how to send another attachment with my second receipt, showing the line being opened on the 28th. I was told this would fix the issue. So I send the second attachment through the email provided to me to Samsung. I am told it will take no longer than 48 business hours to take care of.
72 BUSINESS HOURS LATER, and I call back as the status has still not changed online. The gentleman I talked to was very kind and helpful and I commend him for his excellent service. He explained to me the situation and went out of his way to help me. The call eventually ended with him apologizing to me and stating "this call is recorded so you have my word on this sir. I can plainly see that you have the document stating this was purchased on the 28th and the reason why you could not get the device, and the purchase of the Note 7 on the 29th and the statement of you contacting us, and that we told you it would meet the criteria. I do not see any reason this should not be accepted and you get the promotion deal with this. I will send this to our escalation team, and they should be able to resolve it for you right away. It will take 48 hours".
On the 20th of September I receive a email stating they need photos of a receipt showing the purchase of the device on the 28th. I call back to discuss this as we have already gone through this. I am told by the man on the line that I just have to respond to them as they cannot contact the escalation team. I told him that I need to talk to a supervisor as this is going on long enough and they already have their money, and this was ridiculous. I was first told there was no supervisor, and then minutes later after explaining the case again, I am told the supervisor is on the line with another customer and that I would have to wait, but they do not recommend it. I stated I would wait.
While waiting I checked to verify on my email that the email with the two attachments of the same receipt would be there and had gone through to them. It had. I was then told after waiting 15 minutes the same thing that they were on a line with a customer and I shouldn't wait, I told him I still would. After 30 minutes of waiting I am told that they still were on the phone with the same customer, and that they did not want to waste my time, their supervisors, or their own if I was not going to reply to the escalation team. I responded to him that I had along with the other two attachments I sent with it. He told me that I had not sent one. He was looking right at the email screen and saw nothing from me. He proceeded to tell me I was wrong and lying because he was looking and saw no reply to the email.
I cannot believe your company has the gall to tell me, the customer, that I am a liar on top of all the other stuff I am already having to deal with you. That is not customer service in the slightest. I run a company that travels across the country, and you better believe that I will be letting each and every person I know and come into contact with that Samsung is not a company to work with or be trusted as they do not do what they say, and will even tell you that you are a liar.

I am forced to write this mail to you as I am very unhappy with everything involving Samsung. I have been using Samsung phones over the last five years and was a very happy customer only until my recent purchase of J5 Pro. I purchased this phone on 15th Aug 2016. With a week's time I have been raising complaints that calls are not audible. Please do note that the call doesn't drop but goes mute for indefinite period of time. I have contacted your customer care. Initially I was advised to put the phone on Safe Mode. This was told even without trying to understand the problem.
On subsequent call, I was told to visit a service center and was even promised a call back from a supervisor. The call was never returned. My question to you is - Would you rush to a service center for a brand new phone to be checked? Raises a big concern on the quality standards that are being maintained here. I have been having to take work related calls on my phone which have been utterly frustrating. My work is taking a beating here. My concerns which I would want to bring to your notice: I do not have the bandwidth to take a brand new phone to get it checked. Even if I do get there, and asked to submit my phone for an observation for 2-3 days, am I supposed to be buying another phone as a stand by?
