You keeping it?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] beamer_01:
I haven't returned my phone, and would like to see if I can salvage it. It's a great device (despite the explosiveness).

All attempts to root the phone have failed. Any advice on what I can do, aside from returning it. That isn't an option.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Well what exactly is wrong with it that you need to salvage?

You I assume you have a exynos model if Your trying to root it? Should be pretty easy...flash twrp in odin then flash SuperSU in twrp.

Done

I think I have a snapdragon model. Canadian/Rogers. Can it still be done?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Root? Lol...no man not for 4 or 5 mos.

Where have you been this whole time I figured everyone knew by now.

Your lucky you didnt brick it.

Is your device still working on your carriers network?

Sent from my Note 7, S7 Edge or S6
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] beamer_01:
Yes. It still registers on the carriers network. However it only charges to 15%. Is there anything I can do with it? Or is it basically a doorstop?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Man...mine charges to 100 but wont work on the network and your in reverse.

Im not sure if you can downgrade from that 15% firmware at all. Check out the forums and see what comes up.

Received, just the empty box =(

Ofc im keeping mine. Even tho its not working. This phone was bought second hand. I dont know why they are shipping me the boxes or calling me. I already told them once i returned the phones. They dont track anything properly. If they did i should be clean in the system

try note7alliance they should be able to help you out.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] gyozaman:
The UPS box arrived today. No S7 inside. Just empty fireproof box to send my Note 7 back.

I didn't think I would get a S7 as I never asked Samsung for an exchange unit.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SamsungG:
Same thing I got .. Also got 2 certified letters from Rogers stating I have till the end of this month to return it to rogers.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] moegrease:
This is the text I got from Rogers,

"IMPORTANT ROGERS SERVICE MSG: Still need to return your note 7? You have until Jan 31 to do so and to take advantage of the credit offer........."

I am guessing after the 31 they won't give you back your money or they won't trade it for a 1 year old phone!
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Hmm I havent had those but then again the note 7 i have isnt the one I bought from rogers
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SamsungG:
Yea exactly ... w.e .. So fed up of dealing with clowns already :(
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Asadh16:
Hey, I got the same thing yesterday. Missed the packedge and picked it up. Its a box with the special box inside and a letter from Samsung plus instructions for sending back the device. Also says, if you have not taken advantage of our offers yet, please call. I will tomorrow. Maybe get a s7 edge out of them. I got 2 note is still.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
If your notes still work on the network Id keep them..no sense sending them back if they still work.

Mine doesnt work and Im still holding onto it lol

Just got a call from the main Samsung number, plus 2 calls from a dedicated samsung number....and an email...they won't be replacing my replacement Note 7. Thats fine...I'll just use my VOIP number on it......maybe trade it in one year...but most likely will keep....

The dedicated number is 905-817-6478
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] die4you:
why???? I don't understand N7 is recall.

so Samsung must exchange n7(any condition or bought from 3rd party; kijiji or craigslist) to Samsung galaxy s7 edge or s7.

Just under 2 weeks have passed since my last interaction with Samsung.......hopefully they gave up.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SamsungG:
Same here. Got the box... I was thinking of taking a poop in it w/ a cat picture and a pic of my note 7 and sending it to them.. But decided not too... If they start bugging me again they may force my hand...
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] shawnvick:
Yikes - Mine still works but yesterday it started over heating

So for some reason, i don't know why mine always worked, i was charging to 100 with the block. And rogers never blocked mine. Yesterday i was charging it while in the car when i smelled a burning smell. IT got really hot. After a few try's i was able to power down. I officially started her up one last time to do one last back up. Looks like this is it. You guys have been wonderful. Did anyone get a s7 edge swamped out as a replacement ? If you go to the Samsung store do they just swap without receipt ?

Thanks for all the help, good luck to everyone with their notes. I will buy the Note 8 .. when ever that is.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jopa7:
Most probably the burning smell came from your car, not the phone itself lol. Good luck with your next device, we keep enjoying ours

Screen protector is a must. Wow

Sent from my Blackberry Bold
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pointro:
So... if anyone finds a good tempered glass protector for the phone, feel free to spam the forum with it. We'd all probably be thankful for it.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] HeavenlyFall:
Yea I wouldn't even want to put the dam phone in my pocket, it's sad copper coins can scratch a glass screen. Stupid Samsung should've just made a curved shatterproof plastic screen in this case.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
+1 on that
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] millicent:
What about the official screen protector? Seems to be plastic film, however it bends a little bit around the edges. Let us also know if you happen to find it in some store, locally or online
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] cknewdeal:
I was at Sherway Gardens yesterday and the manager said he has the accessories in the back with the phones but they won't be out on the shelves until friday. I have 2 different screen protectors I've purchased from amazon.ca.

This one is not edge to edge and is not tempered: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01I4M2U6W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This one is tempered and is edge to edge coverage:

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01J5IG826/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I wasn't sure if i was going to keep the 2nd one because of the cost, so I got the one in the first link in case I'd return the Cyxus (so atleast I'd have something). But the Cyxus is truely edge to edge with a curve on the sides. I can't speak to how good it is since it's not installed yet, but it's full coverage. I can post pics if anyone wants.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] @Class:
OooO I'm hoping to get a call today :)

Unfortunately any time i order something it takes a day or two for the order number to show up. If shipping is fast enough sometimes i have the item in hand before I get a tracking number

i'll probably call them again at the end of the day just to confirm if they shipped it or not yet
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] millicent:
I assume it's only those that got to pre-order in the first day of August finalized their orders, right? Cause I pre-ordered a few days ago only on Samsung's website and haven't been contacted to purchase it yet.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] diggmc:
What is your order number?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] spex714:
I did register on the pre-order site on Aug 3rd . Assuming you use gmail, did you check your promotions tab? That was where I found my email to complete my pre-order.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] millicent:
Guys, I got nothing, on Gmail or yahoo. I have pre-ordered twice, you see. I am going to check both desktop clients for spam..

Edit: just checked the Gmail account, no email from Samsung other than the original pre-order confirmation from 5 days ago. I have pre-ordered also using a yahoo account yesterday, it might be the purchase email will come later on today.

Yes its the same N930W8 model
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] funkydude101:
Screen protectors are for suckers. Unless you work in construction or a very harsh environment, a screen protector is a waste. Lots of engineering went into the glass for touch experience and colour accuracy. I have not had a screen protector on my Note 4 since day 1 for 2 years now and honestly there are virtually no scratches, there may be VERY faint ones when seen in the light...but after 2 years...who cares. Screen protectors ruin the display, even if it's some ridiculous "Korean 5 layer" whatever marketing crap.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] s-f-r-j:
Thank you for responding, appreciate it.

Hopefully this time, us Canadians get a good model, that will let us root it, install custom roms on it :P

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] cknewdeal:
The tempered glass protector I put on my note 4 took nothing away from the touch or colour experience, and protected my screen. Not sure what you're on about; have you tried a tempered glass screen protector? I agree with what your saying if you're referring to plastic films.

Anyone get a call from Sherway?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mohammedessam:
No, ive ordered it online and have pre-ordered at sherway gardens

Hopefully I'll get it tomorrow
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sevael:
That video doesn't really emulate real life situations. It doesn't concern me at all.

While I might have worded the idea differently, I mostly agree with funkydude101. I haven't used a screen protector on any phone since 2009 and I have never had a scratch on a phone screen. I don't baby my phones, but I'm not careless with them either. Any time I've seen somebody scratch their screen, it was a careless mistake that could have been easily avoided.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pointro:
I got a call from Wind. The rep said that there is a "global shortage" of the Note 7, specifically in the Blue Coral (which I preordered). The next shipment would take about 2 weeks to arrive. I had the option of waiting, in which I would be given a $50 credit as compensation, or switch my color to silver or black to ensure that I get the phone. Considering that my Nexus has a damaged digitizer, USB port AND overheated during the call having to go to a hot reboot... I opted for the silver, which I liked best anyway after seeing the phones in person at Sherway.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] AndrewSE:
110% agree !
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] HeavenlyFall:
Does anyone know anything about this?

Samsung store put a sim in new phones then "unlock it" if you purchase it without contract, does that do anything since the phone is sim locked anyway?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] spex714:
From my knowledge, that is standard process to sim unlock a phone. Say I have a Rogers sim locked phone and I have the unlock code. I need to put in a different carrier sim such as Telus or Bell, then input the unlock code.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mohammedessam:
The silver note 7 is available in stock at samsung store

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] HeavenlyFall:
Would 2 different set of bloatware be installed in that case?

Seems a bit odd because I thought phones would lock to the first sim
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] WorldIRC:
Been playing with mine for a couple days now (don't ask how).

You guys will notice an OTA when you first power on the device. It definitely helps with performance issues that I was having (stutters here and there). All is good now.

Some of the quick toggles are missing (at least with Bell CSC loaded). The Mobile Hotspot quick toggle is missing. I did report it to Samsung using the Members app. Hopefully that gets resolved quickly as its a pain to navigate the regular menus just to turn on the hotspot.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] spex714:
Patience is not my strong suit lol

Anyone get a tracking number or a call from sherway?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] @Class:
Nada - will probably just go there tomorrow morning or give them a call... Tech Data Missisauga order numbers are up to #3477. Wonder which I would get first, today is the last day for the promo I could cancel either.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcadduono:
Our Canadian Samsung devices come with a single CSC package with the region code OYA, this contains the carrier data/apns/apps for ALL of Canada's carriers. The default CSC selected code depends on where you purchase your device, and you can flash other Canadian carriers firmware on your phone without issues, as your original "selected" CSC should always be selected for install. (the only difference in each carrier's firmware package is the default CSC in case none is set or the current selected one doesn't exist in the new CSC package)

All of the carrier apps and CSC packages will exist on your system partition somewhere, but it will not be installed just dormant. I would assume in /system/csc.

In addition to all the Canadian carrier CSCs, there should be a CSC code for generic (bought from Samsung Online or Experience Store) which doesn't install carrier apps. You should be able to switch to it using a dialer code (I can't remember the combo) or CSC changer app.

And yeah, the phone does SIM lock to the first SIM installed, so what Samsung does at their store would be put in their own SIM which then the device locks to, and then they unlock it for you allowing you to use whatever SIM you want after that.

The CSC/carrier apps should not change or be set by SIM card, but changing the CSC code will probably reset your device to factory defaults!
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] 1337rice:

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] HeavenlyFall:
I'm having trouble understanding the point of this unlock thing, what would happen if they don't put in a sim and unlock it?

I already know what carrier I'll be using and the only reason I'm buying it at a Samsung store is because my carrier doesn't sell Note 7, is that unlock thing even needed in my scenario?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] wingswrath:
the locking that occurs is SIM locking. if you do not switch carriers or plan to travel internationally and switch SIMs this actually isnt that big of a concern.

the problem here is that when it is locked and you want to unlock, you would have to pay your carrier $$$ to get it SIM unlocked.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] HeavenlyFall:
I was under the impression that even after Samsung unlocks it, it will then lock again to your sim, is that not the case?

I heard Samsung phones aren't fully unlocked which is why they provide you with 1 additional unlock code if you purchase outright
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcadduono:
If they forget to and it gets locked to your carrier SIM, they should be able to unlock it for you manually by generating an unlock code for your carrier provided you have the receipt to show it wasn't from a carrier's retail store.

As for unsupported carriers, I would assume that the SIM lock doesn't happen until the Samsung or Canadian carrier SIM is entered into the device. If it does happen, surely Samsung has a way to unlock it for you.

They come unlocked, and the first SIM inserted will lock it to that carrier's SIM. The unlock code they provide is for when they can't unlock it for you physically (you're not at the store), so that you can unlock it any time after inserting a SIM that locks it.

Once unlocked one time, it should never become locked to a SIM again.

Buy device

SIM lock flag (from factory) is set to unlocked & lock on matching SIM (ex. value of 0)

Insert matching SIM (Canadian carrier or Samsung), device becomes SIM locked (ex. value of 1)

Enter unlock code, device is SIM unlocked (ex. value of 2)

SIM lock flag should be in any of those 3 states. The flag value should only be able to increase, not decrease. So once it's 2 you're SIM unlocked forever.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DLG187:
Best Buy is calling around saying that the devices are available for pickup tomorrow. Unfortunately this is only for carrier-locked versions
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcadduono:
I think you mean it's only for 2 year commitment customers. I would have happily gone to Best Buy to pay outright for carrier locked. :P

They told me they'd have the buy outright option approx 2 weeks after release day.
