This phone is really...  Hopeless....

Lets see. While driving, it slipped from my leg and dropped to the car mat. Probably hitting the door on the way I don't know, but the screen cracked. FINE! It wasn't gorilla glass, my own neglect for assuming it is. I just ignored the crack and continue using.

Today, out of no apparent reason, it just died. DIED! Can't boot into recovery, can't boot, flashing from ODIN gives no PIT file error, PIT file given and it shows partition failed. Lol wut?

So my phone is now bricked, by doing nothing. I'm a little tired now to search through the thread for any solution, been doing that for the past couple hours. I did notice there are some people who faced this when doing a sudden death search.

Anyway, since there's no way to unroot the phone now, I'm gonna have to go get a new phone. Great! This is a very nice phone don't get me wrong. But dropping from my lap to the CAR MAT and cracked, and so many people around the world are complaining about this sudden death that happens for no apparent reason, and CANNOT be fixed, I really hope you guys who're considering this phone, to know what I went through.

Buy with risk, this is a fragile phone, VERY fragile phone. Buy with caution.

err..bro..gorilla glass doesn't means that the glass is like a real gorilla--unbreakable. rclxub.gif lol..

the hardness degree for gorilla glass is just around 7 only. try to take some sand and scrub on ur screen u will notice serious scratch over ur screen as the sand hardness degree is higher than 7. smile.gif

Dude, I know its not unbreakable. But how big of an impact can it be by dropping from my lap to the car mat? I know gorilla will NOT break under such a simple drop. Even if you factor in the possibility of it knocking the door on the way down.


Added on December 16, 2012, 10:17 pmAnyway, the sudden death is my problem not the screen crack. If you really want to compare just go see some youtube drop test. You'll notice the S3 will crack and crack the worse among other phones.
