First of all last year i got a Samsung Galaxy S2 on contract (2 year period) that included a 3.5 mbps internet in addition to the phone.
Now, 7 months later my phone suddenly stopped working while charging through laptop. The screen just went black, and i couldn't start the phone anymore (even after taking out battery, SIM card and whatnot). So i took the phone to the warranty where after almost 2 weeks they called me saying the phone is broken due to moisture which does not belong warranty. And repairing costs 240 euros (basically they replace motherboard). I was furious hearing this as i have kept the phone very delicately, never used it while raining and to my knowledge no drop of liquid has reached it. So i can blame the 60% moisture in the air? Yeah!
So yeah, now i have to pay 30 euros every month for 1.5 years for nothing. I don't have a smartphone to use the mobile internet... And yes, i tried to search for motherboards on eBay and they all cost more than 230 usd. I'm not gonna pay this much extra for NOT CAUSING THE DAMAGE MY PHONE HAD! Yeah, and i have to pay 11 euros to get my phone back from the warranty as the investigation is only free after 6 months you buy the phone.

Now to my car - my car's engine broke down totally (it kicked the rod out of the engine bay) 5 months ago. The only thing to do was to buy an used engine. It cost me around 200 euros. That went fine, me and my buddies swapped the engine, did a full diagnostic and everything seemed fine. But now my car gives me red oil error sign, and a huge cylinder head leakage has started. And my car is driving very unstable lately, and fuel consumption is huge. Something is wrong, though diagnostic tool says otherwise.
----
Now to my work field - i've been unemployed for a long time thanks to the fact i was recruited to the army, but after 4 months they let me out as i had some kidney dysfunction and the hospital recommended to let me free. Now i'm looking for work, but so far after 3 months i've been unlucky. I hate this bullshit.
Life sucks sometimes!
Edit: the only good thing is i have no nagging girl anymore! That is absolutely fantastic as i have all the time to myself. After being together for almost 2 years you start to appreciate the fun and free time you used to have before with your awesome buddies.

Nhf, but don't try to live a first world life if you have third world incomes. You definitely don't need an expensive Android toy with internet connection if you don't have a job.
I myself am a Linux/Android programmer but I'm still using a 40-euro Nokia dumbphone and it's working like a charm.

I had a fairly tolerable income back when i got the phone. I'm not that stupid. What angries me is the fact my operator isn't willing to compensate some part of the price and/or replace it just because their warranty rules say moisture is out (i know it's almsot everywhere like that). And thanks to the fact i haven't handled the phone evilly. It's just insane. I can pay 30 euros a month for nothing, it's silly but it doesn't do any real harm to me. The whole fiasco just sucks. What i do know, however, is that i'm gonna change my provider after my contract ends after which they definitey try to persuade me otherwise, and then i can spit it in their faces that happened a couple of years ago or how they treat their customers. I used to belong to other provider with corporate customer package, and hell their support was fantastic, and some moisture error didn't matter to them - they momentarily would've swapped your phone with no further investigation. Corporate clients just are more important. It did cost a lot more, though.

Samsung Galaxy S2 like XBOX360 uses cheap solder a lead less solder ... the problem in it is its not heat resistant and in constant stress situations [like charging your battery , playing games , to much electric current ] IT SWEATS OIL !!!!
derp electric technicians that don't know shit about it classificate this substance as MOISTURE 
next time buy a used phone

Acculy they know, but they don't care. Just mass ship that junk, make it as cheap as possible to maximise profit, and sit back and watch the titles "Samsung (or whatever) wins this quartal!11"

this is requirment by the EU - very stupid UE law as all electronics are destroyed from it |
ITS A EU LAW FOR KIDS TOYS for FUCK SAKE...and you know what this law is SO STUPID they added HIGH TECH EXPENSIVE equipment in this FUCKNG LAW : Consoles , Computers , Tables , DVD/BD Players , Cell Phones , MP3 etc...
each thing that a "NORMAL KID" by they definition has a contact with... FACEPALM
yeah stop making PCs/Consoles/MP3s or any other machines that will work for 20+ years...
yeah add lead free solder to every electric unit you OWN to make it run for 2+ years ...if your lucky... JUST DO IT FOR THE KIDS ...THINK ABOUT OUR KIDS SAFETY ....
fuck kids |

Sounds like an argument for putting your phone in a bag of rice for a week prior to sending it in for warranty check.
Yes, yes I'm back.
Somewhat.
