People tear their hair out and squeal if they do not receive quick updates. They then go and download for themselves and end up stuffing their phones. Learn to be patient and be satisfied with what you are currently using. It works just fine as it is up till now. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

          Ahsan Malik, 29 Jul 2019So how it can be fixed?I don't know as I have not played PUBG, so I have never ran into any issues. I don't know if any of the suggestions out there would work, or have worked or if the issues experienced by others are identical to your experiences. There could simply be issues with the app itself.

                  It doesn't. The position you find yourself in at the moment lays at the door of yourself, you should share part of the blame and be honest with yourself and others.

                  Fair enough if you have an issue with the phone and annoyed, that's understandable but I don't think your first post was kind advise at all and it was misleading at best as you didnt paint the full picture.

                    It's true that the Kenyan Samsung centre adviced me on sending the phones to Dubai for repair
                    The numerous charges came up coz initially they thought it was software based and after they ruled that out...they started to check the hardware.
                    The cost for each charge was 15 dollars so I didn't mind

                      Have you done anything with the phone e.g rooted or flashed Custom Rom, flashed firmware (PIE)? If so, has knox been tripped? (There are guides to check this)

                      How did you get on with email to Samsung and did you contact UAE? Any luck? What did they say?

                      I contacted Samsung in Kenya and they said you would be able to ship phone to Dubai and therefore repaired under warranty. Ok, you would have to pay the shipping cost but it's an option worth considering. And if all 3 phones sent at once then you and your colleagues could split the costs so that it works out cheaper for you. (If knox has been tripped then warranty will be void unfortunately)

                      When you went to the Samsung Repair Centre in Kenya, what did the technician say they had done? You said you had the phone fixed 10 times (charged 7 times) Was a guarantee of the repair given at anytime? If not, did the technician give any reason for not giving you a time limited guarantee? And what was their justification for charging you each and every time when phone was obviously not fixed on previous occasions?

It is bizarre that his phone and his 3 colleagues all have the same issue. Could be that they have all rooted phone, flashed custom rom and tripped knox therefore voiding warranty too. Sure, you will get some cases here and there with boot loops, I believe when Oreo was released there was an issue but there is something odd here, something just doesn't feel right and tbh I feel like I've not heard the full story.

                            He/she said that they called Samsung and went to the Samsung Service Centre who pointed out that they could not repair phone under warranty in Kenya because bought in another country/region, so you would think that Samsung would of advised him/ her there and then of the best course of action to take. And the claim the customer was charged 7 times for same repair.... weird and that his/her colleagues also have not been able to get phone repaired also...strange.

                            I will keep and open mind but at the moment, it just doesn't stack up.

                                      Yeah, you would think! But it is my understanding that if you bought the phone in a different country/region then you may run into difficulties when trying to get the phone repaired in another country under the original warranty.

                                      Nevertheless the poster said that they went to a Samsung Repair Centre to get the phone repaired, so assuming that it is an Official Authorised Samsung Repair Centre then the repairs themselves should be guaranteed. It makes no sense that this Customer has been charged 7 times for repairs. ALARM BELLS RINGING!


                                      The Customer may have to get in touch with Samsung in Dubai, where the phone was originally bought from. But I'm hoping that Samsung will be pointing him/her the right direction here and if this shop is indeed an Authorised Samsung Repair Centre, then it's pretty dodgie service and something really need to be done about it and at the very least you would think that the Customer should be reimbursed by the extra charges incurred. Samsung needs to take ownership here.

                                      Perhaps you are correct in thinking this Customer has just went to a repair shop that is not Authorised by Samsung. Now, that would explain a lot and may even result in voiding his/her warranty if repairs not carried out by an Authorised Samsung Repair Centre.

It sounds more like the technicians who looked at your phone had no idea what they were doing. I would be thumping the desk demanding proper service or a replacement. Is it an official Samsung service centre or simply a phone repair shop. If it is just a shop then they have no obligation to honour any warranty.
