aloke, 03 Aug 2013Hello, I purchased the Grand quattro today and within just ... moreYesterday I did a software update(via wi-fi) using OTA (Settings->About device->Software update) and it seem to have solved my problem of frequent crashing. I updated to the latest XXAMG1 version of firmwire(it would ask for update three times- first around 40MB, then around 15MB and the last one is about 98MB). After all the three updates are done, the phone would get updated to XXAMG1 version. After this update I have installed and played a lot of games and played a lot of videos and almost in more than 20 hours of usage it didn't hang /crash even once. Yesterday before the update I was noticing the phone was getting heated very much during video play/wi-fi usage but after the update it is just warm during video play. So I guess the phone CPU was getting overheated and was shutting off which is fixed in the software update. Even the software update description was telling "Improved stability". So those who have purchased a new quattro pls check your software version and if it is not XXAMG1 you can try a software update and see whether your issues get resolved. However, I am suprised to see how a company like Samsung releases a phone without even basic testing of CPU overheating. I can imagine what would have been my situation if I had purchased this phone immediately after its release when there might have been not software update available. I learnt one important lesson from this: never buy a newly released phone even if it from a reputed company like Samsung! We should wait for at least 6 months so that necessary bug fixes are available (and of course , price would have come down a bit!). I didnt find any mention about this software update issue in gsmarena- so thought of updating everyone. Would post a detailed review after using the phone for a few weeks. Right now the phone seems to be working very nicely(after the software update).

[deleted post]The phone is alright, even if the GPU is a little slow. The Samsung software is the reason for the crashes, it's really bloated. Installing the stock Android ROM.

Hello, I purchased the Grand quattro today and within just 2-3 hours of using the phone it is crashing very frequently. Whenever I use the Gallery to open videos it is crashing randomly and getting rebooted. Even when I try to connect to Google play it is crashing and rebooting. Anybody else is facing similar problem?

i bought this phone exatly 15 days ago and have been using since then. i found the phone below the mark, not worth spending rs. 16000, camera is mediocre, internet speed is only 7.2, scrolling through contacts and messages is not so smooth as i expected( i sold off my duos 7562 because of lagging and hanging issue while scrolling but going for this was not better choice i think it is a classic case of "from the frying pan into fire). overall the phone let me down and my faith is samsung phones is dwindling. now i will go for some other brands, bye bye sam uncle.

If any one posting your positive opinion about quattro, first check. Do your phone have one way problem? If have then don't miss guide to other people that it is a good phone. Because it has a common problem of one way.
How to check if has one way problem or not?
First call (voice chatting) to your friend to use any Instant Messenger (like Viber, Skype, Tango, Yahoo or so many). In between check your the balance of your network provider (Like Airtel, Aircel, Idea, Vodaphone etc.) or get a call or miss call on your traditional phone number.
Now you can check your Instant messenger. Is it working without any problem. I don't think so. I has one problem. You can hear the voice, but they can't. If you want same you have to restart your phone first.
I have checked three Quattro and all have same problem. Even I have complaint to Samsung CEO's office, not getting any solution.
