Samsung Galaxy S woes, consumer hit by data deletion bug

[ 0 ] Posted by on August 29, 2010

With older news that Samsung was planning to overtake HTC in the Smartphone market this year, consumers who have bought the Samsung Galaxy S, a smartphone well in the leagues of the HTC Desire and iPhone 4, might find this news hard to swallow.

An unspecified number of Samsung Galaxy S devices have been found to contain a bug which triggers the auto-reset option on the handset when it is connected to a PC, erasing user data in the process and leaving people dazzled.

Originally reported by V3, Samsung told V3 that in a small number of handsets connecting a Samsung Galaxy S device to a PC via Samsung’s proprietary software program, Kies, can cause an auto-reset to occur on the device. Samsung also stated that it is working to provide a software upgrade, or in other terms a ‘fix’, that should be available before the end of August (that doesn’t leave much time then).

Meanwhile at Apple HQ, Steve Jobs smiles as he is informed of the news that Samsung Galaxy S handets have a genuine flaw. ;) .
