QUOTE(fkathrada @ Sep 12 2011, 11:18 AM) Hi all, Not sure where to post for this, but my X8 is on the fritz, and apparently I got an AP unit (whatever that means). SE support told me to take it to the guy I got it from (at LowYat Plaza, apparently a mistake), and get him to replace/fix it. The question now is: What if the guy is gone? Do I have no way of getting it fixed? I payed way too much (RM1080 last year November), and got ripped off with the Warranty too. My instinct is to punch out the idiot that sold it to me, because I feel like an idiot for getting duped, and because I got sold a unit that can't use the local warranty. The name of the guy's shop is Original Accessory Sdn Bhd or something. I don't head in to town often, so not sure if he's still in LowYat or not. (Third floor, I think, across from a DiGi store.) Sorry if this is in the wrong forum (Maybe the mods can correct it?). Cheers. u buy X8 for rm1080???that is twice the price i pay for the phone -__- by fritz, u mean freeze? |

I didn't know the going price and got it on an impulse, as I really needed a phone. By fritz, I mean some weird problems. Battery issues, lagging and slow, WiFi and Bluetooth problems, etc. |

Battery issues, lagging and slow, WiFi and Bluetooth problems, etc. have you tried hard reset it?as long as it is software issue, you can repaire it by your self. no need to be rip off somemore from the phone shop. if it is hardware, nothing can be done unless send it to the shop |

I'm almost sure it's a hardware issue. I found the guy's number, luckily, and will head over when I can. Hopefully i won't get screwed over any more. |

Does rooting leave your data intact - eg apps, contacts, messages, pics, music, etc?

Yes, only when you flash in ur stock rom + wipe (recommended) then everything is gone. |
