How many problems have you had and why?

[Zero1234]

I had about 3 ... because of some weird reasons

 

[18]

When I first bought my 3DS, I and lots of other early owners (I found out on GameSpot) suffered from some bugs, such as having to press the power button several times to get the console to turn off (it wouldn't respond the first time). It was fixed with one of those 'general performance improvement' updates

 

[numage]

Don't think I have a problem but my 3DS is kind of slow lately (in terms of responding when I clicked home button etc.). I don't even have games downloaded on it (except demos).
The only annoying thing is that I can only get 10 streetpasses a time and I have to see the introduction before I can get another 10. It is not considered a "problem" anyway as this is how nintendo set it

I have 3 issues but I voted 1-3,my touch screen was not working well (I fixed it by when I was playing HM tale of two towns the touch screen was going to the end and I decided since my nail was long put the nail under the touch screen and it worked I removed the dust.)Another was my circle pad cover came off,i haven't fixed it yet but will in due time and the last is that I get the error code 001-0502 everytime I try to connect to the internet in pokemon x or y or any game that can connect to the internet as well as friend list.

I had at least 4 problems total from all my DS consoles. Although, I grouped 3 of them together, since it was on the same console.

Anyway, the 1st problem on any DS console was on my White DS Lite. The hinge broke off/got loose, and the DS Lite ended up all dangly if you held it.

The 2nd problem was on the same console. The screen on my DS Lite had a thick line of dead pixels (located on the right of the touch screen). The dead pixels prevented me from seeing part of my game (at least on the touch screen).

The 3rd and worst problem was on the same console, again. The touch screen got all rough, and finally, it broke. It's pretty hard to explain what happened when I touched the touch screen with my stylus, but I'll try. Wherever my stylus touched, the touch screen would think that I touched at least an inch away right, from where I originally touched. Hard to explain, but basically, broken touch screen.

I had some issues with streetpass, sometimes I just stop to streetpass some coworkers for literally weeks, then it comes back. It's really annoying when we both want to streetpass each other and it doesn't work. Also, on my 3DS XL, I find the hinge sort of loose so I try to not get hard on it.

I have had no issues with my 3DS so far, and I hope it stays that way (I look after it well, and is in great condition too)

I was afraid the circle pad would break off because of Smash 3DS but it didn't ever happen.

Ok so i have a broken 3ds...The thing is,i can fix it.I just need to replace the touch panel on the bottom lcd screen.Hopefully I should be able to fix it after my birthday.

I haven't really had any problems with my original 3DS. I mean aside from finding the start/home/select button placement annoying I've never had any bugs (at least none that I can think of) or any response issues.

 

[PersonSP]

The Demos are doing weird things to my 3DS. When I remove them the screen goes black and I hear a snaplike sound. You know the sound when switching of an old, near-to-death tv? After that I'll hear the music from the home-menu and I can scroll but there is nothing to be seen. After 30 seconds or so it will appear and everything is normal again but it's still pretty anying and I am worried about the snap sound. I just hope it's not a hardware problem.

Fortunatly I haven't had problems with my console. But my boyfriend lost all of his games (the ones that he had download from the eshop), I don't know, the only thing I know is that he was "crying" all day hahaha, anyway it was a good reason to cry, I would do the same if it happen to me..

 

[mohammed]

I have 2 the first one is I want to download movies over 10 minutes and the second is its unfair that ameica have Netflix and not Europe because i would like to watch movies in my 2ds

 

[CJ]

The first problem I faced is that I meet no one with streetpass. This is simply because no one carries a 3ds with him/ her in my country. Also, there is no Nintendo hotspot anywhere in India. Wish there was one

One problem which stole my money was that my father gave me his credit card to add funds on my 3ds. I wanted to add 5 dollars. It said that the credit card is not availaible. He used more credit cards. Minutes later, he got SMSs that money has been taken out with all credit cards but no funds added.

In my 3DS's entire life, I've only had one game-related bug: Project X Zone froze once at the end of a turn. The animations and music kept on playing, but the next turn wouldn't start, so I had to force-shutdown the 3DS; I restarted and everything was fine. I think it's a bug in the game, being a very large RPG.

A few times the game would stop because the SD card stopped being detected and I'd have to restart - I use a 32GB microSD with an adapter and other users reported that it does that ocassionaly so it wasn't much to worry about and I haven't experienced this problem for several months now.

 

[Icemario]

Early last year, my 3DS would freeze when exiting one of the mini apps (Internet Browser, Friend List, Game Notes, etc.)

It doesn't do that any more, though I still wonder how that happened in the first place.

 

[9070]

My 3DS used to freeze quite a bit when exiting apps, like Icemario, though sometimes it did it when pressing the home button on games. I still remember the time it froze after I had spent 2 hours on Animal Crossing without saving. Ugh.

Other than that nothing game related or OS related has really happened.

 

[D4rkDragon]

Well, depends. The only bugs I had were mostly the console freezing on a few games or when trying to go back to Home Menu. It happened on SSB4 and Pokémon X, where I was forced to shutdown the console entirely.

Also, that fake SD disconnection only happened to me once during a game, and when I got back to Home Menu, I was really scared until the console thought it was Christmas (Yes, presents everywhere on the screen).
^ Note: Also happens if you remove the SD when the console is on, and when you plug it back later and reboot.
