Samsung mobile phones India would be great and No.2 mobile manufacturer if it's smart phones were not so annoying and bedded with bugs. Samsung smart phones with a great keypad, useful texting and autofocus megapixel cameras are great but the main issue is all the bugs involved. You might not very familiar with bugs, so you not find any flaw, but one day you will notice some of them.
This page will provide you a bird's eye view of some of the latest Samsung new and used mobiles having strange bugs.
Samsung Galaxy S might be one of the hottest Android OS phones these days but despite that, we saw a strange bug on this handset that is called USB connection bug. This bug only occurs if you try to connect your Samsung Galaxy S to your PC via USB cable to transfer files with 16-character extensions, causing the phone to crash because of the Samsung Kies software.
Have you bought the Samsung Galaxy i7500? If did, you have a great smart phone and the same time you will come across lots of bug in it. For example;
Battery drains in less than 24 hours,
Alarm doesn't ring and the display says that the alarm was silenced after two minutes of ringing,
Network not available while using data services, and
The call drops suddenly.
Now let's take a look at Samsung Omnia series cell phones, bugs included in Samsung Omnia 2 are; Faulty Samsung calendar notes, SMS sent notification automatically get removed, Bluetooth stability when connected up to the Garmin Nuvi 765 causes the Nuvi 765 to "hang", and many others. With Samsung Omnia 7, you might be facing a strange lock screen bug which gets triggered every time in case you have password protection on. Whereas, Samsung i900 Omnia phone is also quite buggy as the phone switches the screen off automatically and then never comes back on.
Epic 4G bug list includes GPS lock problem while using Google maps, the unfortunate problem is that the Epic 4G will not allow you to run both 4G and Wi-Fi simultaneously, audio routing issues in Fring, Nimbuzz, Sipdroid due to a Samsung API issue in the Kernel, its compass is very inaccurate compared to other Android phones, Qik video quality problem while uploading images over 3G, only 150kbps uploading speed on 3G, call waiting issue as Flash/Swap button doesn't work so you can't get back to Call A after attending Call B, Bluetooth headset and Text-to-Speech don't work well together, Bluetooth can't be used to play back voicemails and Home screen wallpaper resets randomly.
It's true that Samsung mobile phones are quite buggy but Samsung is already working on a fix for the situation, but in the meantime, you might want to be careful while buying Samsung phones via online mobile store in India.
