Yep, I have quite using mine and am back to my Nexus 6p. At the same time however, it kinda sucks cause I am still paying on my Note 7 but am not even using it. Makes me wonder what I should do if it is gonna be a couple more weeks.

Hum....now you got me thinking. I have JOD. I could go with this and get like the gear VR (already have one of the memory cards). Then use JOD later once all the Note crap gets sorted out. Hum..... Or even get another card and sell it.

The price on the sd cards is dropping rapidly, they'll probably be $50 soon lol.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] trini1201:
I know we can't jod back to a phone we already had. Not sure if they count a different color as the same. Or maybe with this recall it doesn't matter. But I thought of the same thing to try and get a gear VR.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] CB620:
Eh.

I sold my sd card for $120.

I don't want a S7/Edge. I just bought a Nexus 6 for now. Gonna get the iPhone 7 Plus and than go back to the Note when the new batch comes. If your phone is getting warmer than usual I would suggest turning it in and not putting yourself in harms way.

As I understand it you can jump back to the same phone, just not one after another. Besides, if we turn in the Note 7 for the recall, you will not have that count as one of your Jumps anyways. T mobile has already confirmed that.

I tried this today, returned my note7 and exchanged it for a s7 (my store ran out of the edge model). Got home filled out the rebate form online but I got an invalid IMEI or WIFI MAC its the correct number. So I'm on a appeal process right now.

fix note 7 battery issues

if you want safety on note 7 for while then download an app call 3c tool . in battery profile you need to adjust from 3500 ma to 3200ma then all set.phone will charger and stop charged at 3300ma or 10% less than normal. real safety way:good:

Why it happened:

http://www.samsung.com/uk/news/local/uk-statement-regarding-galaxy-note7

Q. What is the issue?

A: Based on our investigation, we learned that there was an issue with the battery cell. An overheating of the battery cell occurred when the anode-to-cathode came into contact which is a very rare manufacturing process error.

Reminds me of "The Front Fell Off"

I stopped by the T-Mobile store I always go to and the guy there I always deal with said he didn't have a date for the replacements but said it should be some time in the next week or two and to just check with him from time to time.

I have a feeling that a lot of these review sites like Gizmodo, PhoneArena, and etc are getting paid off by Apple or other companies to blast Samsung on this Note 7 recall issue? It seems like a lot of these publishers constantly bash Samsung for exploding phones. Also the media on the car that went on fire, could have multiple issues (charger on car definitely not OEM) which leads to the already faulty battery. As for the house that went on fire..

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
I don't think they are paid off at all. The Verge MAYBE but that is because they have always been on the payroll.

The story gets clicks so you milk it for everything it's worth. Has nothing to do with Apple. If anything the battery issue with the Note 7s is ten times more interesting than the new iPhone releasing.

The closer you get to the top of the hill, the more people grabbing at your heels. I mean heck some of the editorials on "Whats the best phone for your money" here on XDA almost always end up pointing to some Galaxy device but almost always have this negative tone.

"Like yeah this Galaxy whatever has reviewed well and is arguably the best device you can buy right now but come on guys, it's not a Nexus AMIRITE GUUIIISE"

Blah blah blah gimmicks, blah blah iPhone clone.

Short answer is no, no one is paid off.

Thinking about returning my Note 7 and buy again if/when they fix it. Do I just need to take the phone and box back? And I can keep the charger, headphones, pen tips? Or I have to give everything back on a return?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] kdoweb:
I did this yesterday, I just gave them phone and empty box with nothing in it. I think this is treated like an JOD upgrade. Only phone is needed you can keep everything else.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] shorty87:
Thanks. Gonna take my phone and box back tonight or tomorrow. Keeping charger and headphones.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] drmacrofish:
One thing to keep in mind if you do want to keep the Note 7 (fixed one of course), and you return it now, you may have to wait awhile longer before you can buy again. Looking like October at least. Most likely replacements will start being available in US next week. But new sales will be a while.

Edit: crap, didn't see the CPSC was getting involved. It may be awhile people. Now I really don't know what I am gonna do.

Well anyways. With the government now involved is there any chance we get our replacements within the next couple weeks now, or is that out the window.

I'm thinking about ordering an IPhone 7 Plus and saying screw this whole process. Is it pretty safe to assume I won't be getting a replacement any time soon with the gov now in on it and has to do testing.

So I'm considering going tomorrow and exchanging for an s7e until the new n7 rears its head.... whenever the CPSC gets their heads out of their assess.

You know, everything was going smoothly with n7 exchanges likely going off without a hitch starting next week until they decided to stick their ****ing noses in. Meanwhile, the UK and Australia start their exchanges Monday.

*sigh*

I'd probably wait it out, but I'm supposed to go visit the parents next week and with the FAA now likely to ban the n7 and my mother not wanting "that bomb" in her house... unless tmo can exchange Mon or Tues guaranteed, I'm probably gonna have an s7e by tomorrow at brunch.

Man forget that! I'm keeping my Note 7 until this thing explodes. "replace the Note 7 with a brands new Note 7 pending CPSC approval".... with the CPSC stepping in now, there's no telling how long it will be till they approve shipment of the revised N7's. I feel sorry for those who put their N7's thru hellish crash tests with expectations of receiving a brand new N7 next week lol!
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] comepso:
I agree on that. I just got off the phone with them about half an hour ago I believe i was talking to a us call center not sure, however I asked them due to the new update and suggestion of turning the device off and not using it. Will they now finally offer a temporary phone, he said they will offer a temporary phones however they will be a basic phone, from what I understood like a old school flip-phone where you can only call and text. I guess that's better then nothing right? And you have to go the store and get the exchange and tell them you still want to receive a Note 7 after the new batch is out, but would like one of the temporary phones..
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] truckerdewd:
My local store said to hold onto mine because if I turned mine in and didn't have a backup that I would be without a phone until the replacement Note 7s arrive. He didn't have an exact date but said they would have replacements some time next week. He said as long as my phone isn't getting hot while charging it, that I should be good until they get replacements in and what was put out today was not a mandatory return but voluntary. Plus my phone was made in China on 8/18 and my phone stays cool while charging, it stays cool to the touch when charging no matter if it's on the stock charger included in the box or if it's charging on the Samsung wireless charger.

I'm going to try to wait as long as I can. But curious was that after the 4:00pm Pacific time update? Quoting this from the website "We encourage customers to follow Samsung’s guidance and return the Note7 to T-Mobile for a full, complete refund of anything paid for the device and any Note7 accessories, and get a different device in our inventory. We’ll waive any restocking charges and shipping fees, and customers can keep the free Netflix subscription and Gear Fit or SD card they received with purchase during pre-order.

As soon as we have inventory from Samsung, customers can exchange their current device for a new, CPSC-approved Galaxy Note7, and we will notify customers as soon as we have inventory available."

So from what the rep told me does pretty much match T-Mobiles updated statement it just doesn't specify what new device.

I went to my local store after 7 pm central time which was more than an hour after the 4 pm PT update and that was the info I was given. I was told that if I chose to return the phone and wait for a replacement, I would be without s phone until replacements arrived unless I had my own backup phone which I don't. The manager of the store also has a Note 7 and is going to keep his until replacements arrive. He said you can't just turn in your phone and have them give you a temp phone until replacements arrive cause it doesn't work that way. I have dealt with this guy for the last 3 years and he is the only one in the store I will deal with di I trust the dude.

Ok. I chatted with TMo Help on Twitter about their Note7 trade in program in light of the CPSC getting involved and their Sept 30th deadline. I told them I had JoD with no more JUMPs left. I then told them that since they have no loaners and my desire to get a new Note7, I'm keeping my phone until the new replacements arrive.

I'll quote the part where details are important...

'The decision is ultimately yours if you do not want to turn it in, but we are strongly urging our customers that own the Note 7 to take it a retail store ASAP. And since it is a recall and considered buyers remorse, it voids the last JOD upgrade you did!' -TMoHelp

Interpret as you will. You might want to chat with TMoHelp. I also asked them at the end to put a copy of our convo on record in my acct.

Sorry for any miscommunication. We are offering two options at this point:

1. You can return the Note7 and all accessories to a store for a full refund and select a new device.

2. If you would like a replacement Note7 when they are available, you can return the phone to the store for a loaner, and when the new devices are available, return that phone for your new Note7! *RandallM

Unfortunately, customer service is quick to say what the stores will do when the stores don't have that option. Have been told many things by customer service that the store was supposed to do only to find out customer service was wrong. Most store have few or no loaner phones available and you have to put down a non refundable deposit of $50 or more.

You can use JoD to go to anything. Problem is that will use a jump. Then when you go back to the Note 7 (provided they come back) you will use another, so essentially burning 2 Jumps. I have verified this all the way up the t mobile chain. Sucks.
