Human beings clearly doesnt exist @ Samsung

<p>I have a Samsung S7 Edge. Received it in November, and I have had intermittend issues from day one with it. Eventually I managed to go to the Samsung Smart Care Centre in Cape Town today (12/01/2017) so that they can have a look what the issue is. I tried to contact them yesteray, however after holding for about 18min I gave up, so I drove there today. I was ticket number 7 and was handed my ticket at 09:50. An hour (yes an hour!) later I was attended to, and after having a bit of a debate with the gentleman trying to help me, (unfortunately I cant remember his name) he ****vinced me that it is a "Truecaller App" issue, and the "location setting that is set to on" issue, as well as a software update. The issue with the phone is that it will freeze and I have to shut doeen the phone in order to do anything on it again (some days up to 10 times) Also my battery doesnt even last a day, some days only until about 15:00 if Im lucky, other days untill 22:00. The gentleman helping me uninstalled Truecaller and did a software update. I was very thankful for this as it was supposed to now sort the matter out.</p> <p>About two hours later my phoine started gettting extremely hot again and "froze" again, unworkable. I had to restart it a few times again.</p> <p>I have tried to phone the Smart Care centre to give them feedback, but once again, after 12min of being told your call is important to them, I gave up. I tried online help on Samsung website to no avail, I tried sending online mails, to no avail. I tried phoning the 0860 number, but there was also no on that could answer the phone.</p> <p>I am an extremely patient person and I understand "things happen" I am also a very reasonable customer, Im the LAST person that wants to complain, but I have now given up. I have no idea where to from here.</p> <p>Please can someone at Samsung contact me to sort my VERY VERY expensive NON working phone out.</p> <p>P.S. my wife also has a S7 and has the same apps etc as I have on her phone, and she has ZERO issues.</p> <p>PLEASE!!!!!!</p>

Reviewer Update

I understand that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but the above has just proven my point. I received not only the abovve message, but also a sms that a senior custoner service executive will contact me. (this was obvioiusly computer generated) I am still waiting on a human to contct me to attend to my S7 Edge phon that is the WORST functioning phone I have had in the past 8 years. If Hello Peter doesnt get a response, I really dont know what will.

I am not a person to threaten, but if I dont receive some sort of (non computerized) feedback by close of business on Wednesday, I will start using alternitave social media and newspapers to vent my frustrations.
