Did they add action memo back?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] dkb218:
Not yet. Nor did the fix the camera folder bug.

My phone updated as I was driving to work. Took darn near an hour! Too bad I have to go now to turn it in for a replacement. :crying:
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] CB620:
Not the ota. I'm on jovy deodexed rom
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] vibrantliker:
I'll be back on Jovy's rom also soon as I get replacement. Do you suggest not doing update before rooting etc?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] princeasi:
Yeah checking for this also.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] dkb218:
You may not be able to root after the update so yeah, root.

Just did my exchange. Took about 40 minutes because they just received instructions this morning on how to process this. Anyone in lower Manhattan looking for a store, try Water Street and Maiden Lane. They have 13 units total. I got the first one and there were 4 people in line after me waiting to exchange.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mgbotoe:
Changes I have noticed, plus less lags. That battery icon though! What an eye sore! Honestly I updated, the first software was fill ed with so much issues I can't stand.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrvirginia:
What issues?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mgbotoe:
The lag number one of my problem. The heat.. Thought was cause of explosion issue but was with my new device too. Running map while charging and using....phone is cool as hell. Also my data speed was lacking with spotty connection in several areas.. Gone.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrvirginia:
Ohhh now I understand. Issues were FIXED with the update. Glad to hear that. I too have a spotty connection. Can't wait to exchange mine in a few hours. Thanks for the observations!
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pr0cl1v1ty:
Can anyone confirm the new update removes the lag from the keyboard? This is a deal breaker for me.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
Yes it's gone.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] chispas109:
I was getting a lot of force closes on the stock keyboard too, has this been fixed as well?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mgbotoe:
Will check when get to work but I doubt it... That keyword been lagging since note 2 lol
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pr0cl1v1ty:
Are you using the default or swiftkey?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] raw2000j:
is this the update they were gonna cap the charging to 60 percent?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Pretty sure that idea was nixed for the US wasn't it?

This is the green battery update so users can tell the difference between the new revision and the old with the faulty battery design.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] rcobourn:
Got the update this morning. No cap, but every time you start charging it gives a notice about the safety issue.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] raw2000j:
looks annoying is updae worth it?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] DVS_Sokar:
If on a V1 device you will get the Nag screen every time your charge. That said, V1 users of the update are reporting that it is definitely more responsive and they have noticed less lag in using the device with the new update. So performance wise there seems to be some tweaks.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] rcobourn:
It's not really a big problem. Just enough to encourage me to get to a tmobile store soon. Phone seems very snappy after the update.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] christophec:

I would wait for him or tek to bake it into a custom rom.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] douger1957:
I don't see how. Rumor has it the software is stealing 40% of the battery.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Compusmurf:
Did my swap. Was a total disaster. Local store didn't have instructions. They got 30 in, by the time I showed up at lunchbreak, they had 5 left. Only Blue and silver. Went with blue, kinda like it. As I was leaving there were at least 10 others in line.

I felt really bad for them because there were going to be some rude and upset customers. They WERE turning folks away if they only brought the phone. They required BOX for both, loaner and note 7, but were letting folks keep the cables, charger, etc.

They were NOT a corporate store but they were dealing with it ok. They were also a bit short staffed. I'll give them mega credit for dealing with the whole mess with a smile on their faces.

For the Note 7 folks exchanging, none of us that I saw made them "copy data", probably a blessing for them.

But, my ordeal is done. Now to keep an eye on the website and make sure everything is square there. :)
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] dkb218:
What software is stealing 40% of battery? Surely not the update as has been mentioned a few times in the last 10-20 post. My V1 N7 charged to 100% after the update.

To be clear, there is no reduction in charging percentage on V1 after the update.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] UniX1rm:
My stores ran out. Called the number of the website for the recall. They said phone coming mid october, and they said they cannot change the colors.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jovy23:
I'm on the same boat on this exchange thing. Went to the nearest local t-mobile store and i couldn't exchange my device because i didn't bring in the box and also i can't change to a different device color i wanted to change from black onyx to blue coral but they said i couldn't. I'm guessing that would mean if you don't have the box your screwed which some people throw away.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nerowoof:
COMPLETE DISASTER in a T-Mobile store. Go in, understaffed as expected. Associate is setting up user in front of me with their new Note 7....finishes them up calls me up.

Me: Hi, I need to get a replacement for my Note 7

Her: Ok, did you call?

Me: No, wasn't aware I was supposed to from all the notifications i received stating to just go into a store.

Her: Ok, what color do you have?

Me: Silver

Her: Oh we don't have that one in.

Me: I don't care what color it is.

Her: I can't exchange it for a different color

Me: You're kidding me?

Her: No, I'm so sorry.

Me: That's idiotic but fine (walk out)

Call 611

Talk to one rep, explain my frustration throughout this whole exchange process as noone knows what the hell they're doing.

Rep transfers me to exchange line... Exchange line rep sets me up to have a phone sent to a store closer to me in my name and should be there Friday or Monday (my phone works fine so it's not big deal to me.) I will get a text when it arrives and to go get it.

do yourself a favor, call in, have them ship your phone in your name.

The store associates are entering information from some print out and are confused (I expect some screw ups) Also, I plan on just exchanging my phone and telling them I will handle the set up as wasting an hour of someone else's time with something so damn easy is just ridiculous.

Is Tmobile responsible for this, no, not at all. Did they drop the ball severely by not relaying information to associates as well as to their customers...VERY MUCH SO!
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] douger1957:
60% appears to be the new 100%
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] aznmode:
Wow what a chaos. I'm glad I got mine exchanged yesterday.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Compusmurf:
I didn't mind the box part. I never throw it away because I'll eventually JUMP to a new device. Shame about the color. I didn't have a choice. I was black, wanted black, was offered blue or silver. Had silver on the loaner S7E and it was a fingerprint magnet so went blue.

It's "smurfy" right? lol
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Chr0nicDreamz:
Got both of mine today, took about an hour and a half due to having to wait on a few others exchanging.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
That is insane they are requiring boxes. I would call customer care and complain about any store that does that..
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] chispas109:
Yep, if they did this to me, i would be cursing everybody out at the store, calling cs. This is a safety recall, they dont have to care about the box.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] douger1957:
I've finally learned to save boxes. I'd be pissed beyond all belief if I stood in line at the T-Mobile store for any more than a couple of minutes and they sent me home because of having no box. Nothing in any of the instructions I've seen from either Samsung or T-Mobile says we need the box.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] csimms:
Thats for people who still have 1st verision and i believe not in the usa the new one there is no need to do that since problem is supposed to be fixed
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] DVS_Sokar:
Yep. But so far this update should only affect Korean users there was no official word US phones would get this particular change in the new OTA.

3200 mah = 100% to 2600 mah = 100% is all that needs to be changed to the software. The phone will report 100% but the battery would stop at a charge of 2600 mah. It's all in how the software displays it.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] androidkid27:
Got mine today from T-Mobile ????????????
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Dunno, did you?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] drum747:
Just got mine, just took both naked phones in (N7 and S7 edge), no issues.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] dkb218:
Never heard of the site. It's wrong. The update does not limit the device to 60%. Have you downloaded and checked for yourself? The current update is concerned with the battery icon color and a few other things.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Chr0nicDreamz:
They told you, that you needed the box???!?!?!?

I went right into the store after speaking to corporate care and they told me the only thing required was the devices.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] douger1957:
Just like everything else with this piece of ****, it seems it depends.

Googling it suggest that this "fix" is limited to South Korea. Other mainstream sites such as Gizmodo and Endgaget have not picked up on that fine point.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] DLovo313:
Swapped my N7 2 hours ago at my local tmobile store in nYc. I called at noon and they said they only had one Blue Coral N7 left and to bring the original box (they later told me they only got about 10 total N7 exchange units delivered in total and I got the last one). So I ran down the block and got there just in time because 2 minutes after I got there someone came in for an exchange and they had to turn them away.

The whole process took about 20 minutes with them processing a return with the CC I made the order with (glad I had that on me) and charging me for the replacement N7. They also called customer care for me to make sure the original N7 eip was taken off.

Something else I was lucky with was the color change, I got the Coral Blue but originally had the Silver, I saw some people said they didn't allow them to change color but since that's all they had left I was stuck with what they had. I wanted the blue originally when I first preordered but I didn't want to wait the extra week since it was backordered so I settled for the silver. Guess everything works itself out in the end.

Also shhh, I kept the Stylus, Charger, Cable, & headphones... Lol

For some reason this new replacement N7 is $1.55 cheaper, I guess they deducted the Pyro!!!

Time to go visit the Samsung promo page again.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mgbotoe:
Lmao you right!
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] RMXO:
Got mine earlier and was a PiTA since it took 1.5 hrs to complete everything. I have to comeback since I forgot to bring in the S7E loaner and doing it this way is faster than shipping it back. I only had to turn in the phone but forgot to take out the SPEN, oh well.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] vibrantliker:
I tried rooting after updating and no go. I get a FAIL in odin and phone only boots to recovery or download.

Can someone help, I seem to remember stock firmware (could of swore I downloaded) with 4 files that might help?

Just got my replacement an hour ago. Was the first one in my town to get it replaced. They made an exception for me because they said they were only doing it for people with physical notes. I had only the loaner. Took like 45 minutes.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jovy23:
Yeah they said i needed the box, and then i went back again just so they can turn me down after waiting two hours. Talking about what credit card info did i use when it's right in their damn computer systems and other stupid questions... I felt like i was being interrogated. Don't even know why some of these employees are even at the cashier's desk their training level is beyond low it's like nobody trained them for anything.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] kdoweb:
All using the same Samsung Pay account? I got the $20 from the first note7, $10 for the loaner S7 (only after I called and complained). Did not work on my v2 note7. The fine print does state one gift card per samsung pay account. You lucked out.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mhill1986:
Weird. Yeah, all from the same account. Well, win some lose some. They didn't let me switch to coral blue. :)
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] chispas109:
I also got the 20 for the 1st n7 and for loaner s7e i also got the 10 2 days ago and i dont have the new note 7 yet.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] kdoweb:
Hmmmm maybe the purchased I made was not from a qualifying vendor? My first purchase from prior phones were at Safeway, I'll try again at Safeway when I'm there next. Still does not explain the one gift card per samsung pay account in the fine print thou.

Whew, just got home with my Coral Blue replacement. The store I didn't even put my name down until two days ago had a replacement for me, and thank goodness for that because the store who manages to delete from the list I had been on for almost 3 weeks hasn't reached out at all, those bastids!!!

It took a while, but I'm just happy to be home with my replacement, the S7 Edge is a nice phone, but it was no Note7....hope lots more of you are all at home with your new babies

So it looks like the update patches the current root method.

If our devices come with the latest update out of the box, can we return without restocking fee?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] harveydent:
Did you use up the original N7 $20 credit before you got the credit for the loaner S7 or do you now have a bunch of Samsung gift cards on your account?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] chispas109:
I used up the original 20 dollar gift card as well as the 5 dollars dd gift card before i returned it.

After calling all the corporate stores near me, and being told 10 different things, I decided to call corporate. I dialed the number for executive care (great group of individuals there) asked them how to swap, they told me to go to the local store, I would only need the phones and loaner devices with everything the loaners came with. They even called over to the stores and found one that had stock, then told them I would be coming over, gave them my name and my phone number for verification.

Worked like a charm. Mariana was the absolute best CSR I had the pleasure of dealing with in-store. I was in and out in an hour and a half because of swapping 2 devices and having to call into customer service.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] chispas109:
Yep, try it. If it worked for me it should for you as well. And i used the same samsung account for both n7 and loaner s7e and of course i ll try when i get my hands on the new n7
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Taimoorh5:
i returned my note 7 and got an s7 edge loaner in store. Today i returned the s7 edge and got a replacement note 7. They pretty much switched the eip and i only paid the down payment difference which was like 76 dollars. Quick and easy. Whoever told you that is wrong.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Baratheonist:
Since you mentioned it, V2's back side actually feels warmer to me. Haha
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] dems86:
I got a loaner also and returned my Note7, which effectively ended the JOD for that line...after returning the loaner there was no issue with putting me back on JOD for the new note and just signing a new EIP for that...one positive is this time I got the 0 down...because I didn't want to cancel my order when they offered it two days after, launch I passed on it then.

Everything worked out in the end, so don't worry, once a local store has some just go in, it will take a while but you shouldn't have any major issues besides the process just being a little time consuming.

There also might be like 5 people who call in during the process about replacing their own Notes, which adds to the overall time lol

When they looked up my account/phone number it showed that I owned a v1 so technically that makes me an exchange. I just chose to return my phone for a full refund instead of getting a loaner. I would say new customers would be people that never owned the v1 note before the bug issue.

Considered calling CC and having one mailed? I want to swap colors if I can. Im going to contact them so I don't fall outside the grace period since replacements for v1s take priority and I'd hate to screw someone else out of a phone because I can't make up my mind.

The Tmo near said they could once they get the go ahead to sell and he even mentioned doing it after the grace period but that in that scenario my EIP would begin again.
