Hello, guys. Bad news, my Gnex broke down.
Happens at Jan 22 midnight around 2am. On ARHD 2.13, using bluetooth talking with gf, at the same time playing 3d games, Myth defense LF, charging.
Notice phone is getting hotter and hotter, ignore, coz having a serious conversation with gf, after finished talking, check batt monitor, temp at 70 celsius, sleep.
Next day morning, batt at 77%, hot to touch, check with batt monitor, 55 celsius, ignore, goto work. On the way, worries, take out batt, leave aside.
arrived at work, continue charging, notice batt stat says "not charging", as oppose to the normal "discharging" or "charging".
Screwed, I think. Then decide to drain all batt, off system and charge.
Phone is off and charged using portable battery, after reunion dinner, received my 1st bad news of the year. "My phone just died on me"
On Jan 24, contact directd, goto his shop, sales person take another batt, boot my phone, test with charger, confirmed dead. Prolly problems with board circuit or charging chip.
Pissed off already having paid 2899 for a phone which they sell at 2499 at the time of my purchase back in Dec 2011, and more pissed with my bad luck in start of 2012, the salesperson still managed to pissed me off more~
Same old story with root issue, rooted phone gets no warranty.
A check with colleague, technician only back at Feb, repair cost might go up to 1000+ for changing the board. All in all, bad year for me.

How do they even know that your phone is rooted?

They have another unit, swap battery test. Waited for it to boot, and prolly check under settings.

When you switch on you see the lock logo below the word google already shows you have unlock bootloader and rooted it

I don't think they would know this. At least I don't until you said it.

Yea he could not even switch on his phone.

Of course I wouldn't be so "honest" until they found out about it, hehe.

Hello guys, there might still be some hope on my screwed-up Gnex.
Just bought a wall battery charger and hope to unroot, lock it back.
hope that the sales-person doesn't recognize me, hehe~
