Just received the following text message from Three:

"Hi, we're recalling all Samsung Galaxy Note7 phones. Samsung have advised that all phones are switched off and not used. We're sending you a Samsung S6 edge loan device by courier to your registered address. We'll be delivering your loan device within five working days and collecting your Note7 device. Our courier, DPD, will text you when the delivery is dispatched so you'll need to put your SIM into another phone. For more information, please visit bit.ly/2c2St0E"

I love how they assume I don't have a job or other commitments stating DPD will text with delivery date of loan device. Unfortunately I am away until a week Monday and as Three told me they can do the Note 7 replacement at my hotel I have taken the faulty unit with me.

Any idea what they mean by this?

Any idea what this means? I just tried to call my local store and as usual they dont answer and guess what the number isn't free! honestly ive spent about 25 quid calling these uninformed people this month, and constantly doing my own homework on their own processes as they dont give two ****s, 50 pound credit well gee thanks that will just about cover my phone bill for the phone I dont actually have, brilliant service.

Cpw strike again. Found a store that's open late enough for me to get to. The Muppets could not work out what to do. I can't get to stores normally our easily. All they could say was come back tomorrow when our manager is in. If I could get to the store I would have ****ing well done it by now. Sorry for the rant.

"Safe" Note 7s to have a green battery icon? Or will there be a rebrand?

http://www.androidauthority.com/saf...n-716765/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=gplus

Think I'm done with that N7, I do a lot of worldwide travelling and can't be bothered with any hassle when flying and travelling. Seems like a poisoned name :(
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
Mine ain't! It's still white...
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] alltaken123:
Mine's green. ;)
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
Might be done through a FW update?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] trickie69r:
I'm not sure this would be sufficient as you could probably use a theme to turn the icon green.

A re-brand would be better or something identifiable from the serial/imei number
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rob F1UK:
So, anyone with a replacement done the firmware update offered during setup?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] alltaken123:
Mine was already on the latest version. I would take the update, not only because no problems have arisen on the latest firmware so far, but also because of the secure folder issue on the replacements.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
I've not received a fw update on 7.2 but then again I did re-initialise it due to the secure folder problem so it may well have the latest now?!

I'm on bph9
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] alltaken123:
I followed setup for my device and had no update apart from the usual 412KB or so carrier update that pops up occasionally. When resolving the secure folder issue the firmware download matched what was on the device.

I suspect (only conjecture) that the devices requiring update are original units that were not shipped (I would imagine very few) and they either had the battery swapped or were unaffected, hence too early a production date to have received an updated factory image.

We can probably confirm/quash that thought by checking the production date on 2nd batch devices prompting for an update in setup.

I have purchased my N930FD on eBay and have been chasing Samsung UK for the advise. This is what I have got from their official representative today :

"Thank you for your reply.

We are very sorry to hear that they will not be able to replace your device. What we can only advise you in this case is to try and arrange a solution with the Ebay retailer.

Furthermore, since there were only 35 cases in the whole world, if your phone is not showing any faults or defect, there should be no problem for you to use it.

If there is anything else we can do for you, do let us know.

Regards,

Samsung Shop Support Team"

I pre ordered mine direct from Samsung UK on 27.08.2016, still haven't heard anything, chased them up via email but they haven't given me any sort of time frame, just that "They're working on it"

1000%

So I called CPW customer care because I am trying to get this £50 voucher credited to my account or a refund.

The guy claimed this was only for people who are returning the phone for a refund ...oh....right...really?

So I go in there to get my money back and then you are going to give me £50 extra?? I highly doubt it.

I argued with him that the previous call to a CPW customer service Rep was where I was advised to go get the refund in a CPW store....he refused to help ...

Then he said suddenly that he just double checked and Samsung will be giving out free vouchers on their website worldwide for those affected. (HA! yeah right)

And he proceeded to tell me that this wasn't their problem but it was Samsung's.

err....no...You are the retailer that sold me the bomb under the Consumer rights act 2016.

I told him I would call back in 15 minutes and get a completely different answer from a different rep.

He advised that I should call back and speak to someone else?!?!
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] MKchrias:
Had a call from Samsung cs this morning, sending out £20 voucher should arrive next week.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Con1750:
This country has apalling customer service in general ill also be enquiring about the £50 as ive been told this several times,l. My phone bill came to 54 quid this month all the time ive spent ringing these people who dont wanna help oh and I still haven't got my phone.

Hey all. Quick update on how the new handset's running.

Coral Blue, had it since Monday. It had the little black square bottom right corner on the IMEI barcode which has been floating around online to show it's safe etc...

Out of the box: No heat unless seriously hammering it, or setting it up etc... Charges fine, no excess heat etc.. Even use it to track my running with GPS, location on and no heat. Only problem I had was that the whole software package didn't feel right coming straight from the box. Wasn't as 'stable' or fluid as the first one I had. Also after 3 FACTORY RESETS including from recovery my custom ringtones would not stick, even when in the right folders and all on internal storage.

I read that someone sorted their knox and s-health problem by doing an emergency software update restore by smartswitch. This is what I did.... It's done a whole lot of GOOD. So much better than straight out the box. Running very very nice (So far)... So ringtone problems, systems very fast, fluid and stable. Wondering whether some of the software on new batches are a little corrupted as they're trying to get so many out the door so quick?, who knows.

Takecare Y'all.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] alltaken123:
CPW have the ability to system generate vouchers up to £25 per generation, Customer services will add the vouchers to the account upon your request and each generation will produce a reference for the voucher, you don't need the codes but you could ask for them as they act as a reference to redeem in store, most stores would just login to your account and see anyway.

The vouchers - They are real and some have the £50, don't settle for less if keeping the device.

I personally have the vouchers refunded via CS over the phone.

2 refunds (£25 each remember...) and ensure you get the refund reference for each transaction. The refund goes back to a debit card in 3-5 days of course.

I can't imagine myself spending £50 again with CPW

Easy peasy :eek:

When using the US IMEI checker for the recall, does your replacement produce an error? Mine will not show a result on the replacement Serial/IMEI.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ajay83:
I tested the US IMEI checker using both imei's from my old note 7 and new one. It gave an error. Wondering if it's only been set up so far US/Canada handsets. As for the Green battery update, currently only S.Korea will receive that should it definitely go ahead from the 19th from whats on online android news etc... You said you got yours? You UK based mate? Current unlocked BTU FW is BPHA.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] alltaken123:
[MENTION=3149658]ajay83[/MENTION] That's what I'm confused about also but other users around the world are claiming it works... Canadian replacement tried their's and it didn't work, much like ours, error.

I'm in the UK too XEU firmware here (CPW Sim free) and also on BPHA.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ajay83:
lol, I know so much confusion. When I tried my new phones imei on the checker which was taken 'offline' a few days ago, that one said it was OK. For us in the UK, it'd be easier once Samsung has got the logistics and databases correct with a dedicated imei checker for international checking or by region etc... I Think with the replacements some of us have now got, we're all good over here.

I hope everyone who's having trouble with their exchanges, refunds etc, get given some slack and reach some sort of resolution and hopefully a new handset or something one way or another. This whole things a ball-ache for sure.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonboyuk:
I just got a text saying return it NOW and you'll get a loan handset until they replace it! No way am I going to go through the hassle of loading all my stuff onto a loan device and doing it *again* in a few days/week or so. Bit late for this CPW!
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] MKchrias:
Just got this email from cpw complaints dept

Thanks for your email.

I'm sorry to hear of the issues you have faced when exchanging your Samsung Note 7 and the conflicting information you have received so far.

As you are aware Samsung are offering exchanges for the Note 7 due to battery cell issues with some of these handsets, we received new stock from Samsung and have already replace upto 6000 handsets, however, as we are now waiting to receive more stock from Samsung before we can commence with the Exchange Programme and provide you with a brand new Samsung.

As we understand the frustration of waiting for your new handset and in recognition of the difficulties you have experienced since the release of the Note 7, we can offer you a loan handset in the form of a Samsung s6 or s6 Edge until we do receive more which we have been advised will be 21 October 2016.

If you would like to take this option then please visit your local Carphone Warehouse and we will process this for you, if you have any issues in store please advise them to call Retail Support in your presence and we will assist them with this.

I appreciate your ongoing patience while we and Samsung deal with this matter and please accept my sincere apologies for the inconvenience this has caused.

If you have any other questions please reply to this email or alternatively, you can call our Customer Support team on 0370 111 6565. Our lines are open Monday-Friday 8am-7pm, Saturday 9am-6pm and Sunday 10am-5pm.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] RandyKaoss:
I ordered a Note 7 via Carphone Warehouse on an upgrade last night, expected delivery October 21st. This morning they automatically cancelled my order becuase they couldn't guarantee delivery of the device by that date!
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
Lol, 21st Oct. What a joke.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
although to be fair if Samsung can't supply.....
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BaZ87:
Went into CPW to track the progress of my never ending upgrade issue. Vodafone have put me back onto my old plan and CPW are now just waiting for it to let them put the order back on the system. Once that's done they can issue the exchange. They did say that if I wanted to stick with black that it might take a while to exchange but if I was happy with blue then it would be the next day from when they action the exchange.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] alltaken123:
Think of the poor Samsung 1000 UK pre order folk who are still waiting, perhaps Samsung listened and diverted stock to them (rightly so IMO) which explains the long wait for CPW customers going forward?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
how have they replaced 6000? I understood only 1000 in the pre order period were issued
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BaZ87:
From what I was told in store this afternoon, CPW can replace blue handsets straight away, it's just the black ones they have no stock of.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
How are the Yanks getting theirs replaced next week? A priority market?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
Of course it is. We didn't even get the note 5!
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Note7wilko:
Will they replace blue for an original black
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BaZ87:
You want to swap from blue to black? I'm not sure. I assume they're happy to let you swap from black to blue because they have stock of the blue but not of the black. Only guessing but I don't see why they wouldn't let you change to black but you might be in for a wait as they don't have black in stock.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Con1750:
Just phoned the shop regarding swapping colour, no cant amend orders, wont be here till 21st october ... Literally has no idea and doesnt give a ****, embarassing service
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
I'm so glad I got a refund, gives much more options.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Con1750:
Its just annoying, why he is quoting the 21st ill never know, just doesnt seem to care
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] MKchrias:
Thats what my email from their complaints dept said.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BaZ87:
Strange. I was told clearly that if I didn't mind swapping to blue it would speed things up. He even offered to change my case that I bought in store to the blue one too.

It's possible that I'm in a unique position due to my order error and officially speaking I'm not swapping colours as they're going to reproccess my order.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Con1750:
Just goes to show doesnt it how inconsistent the service you receive is based on the member of staff you get, the guy clearly cant be bothered to deal with it or doesn't even know how, why are the members of staff still quoting the 21st October for replacements, that is shocking consistency, then when I inform him of whats actually happening and what CS have told me he says well I can only go buy whats on our system - top ****ing idiot.

On a different note CS have guranteed me delivery for black onyx by Monday, but ill hold my breath quite frankly .... also tried to get the £50 credited to my debit card over the phone and the lady tried to brush me off with Samsung will be including a voucher, told her I didnt buy it from Samsung and I want my compensation in my account, said this would need to be done in store.

This is becoming such a bloody headache dealing with these lackeys, all employees should be briefed on their own damn processes ... my god.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] apprentice:
Probably because of all the US government agencies threatening to ban it everywhere. I even read a college has banned it completely. Talk about stupid over reaction.

I'm dealing with the manager of my local store. The other week I made a complaint online and it was forwarded to the manager of the store and he called me and we've gone from there.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] RandyKaoss:
I think 21st October is just giving them a safety net. I reckon there will be new handsets in the UK long before that.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BaZ87:
They had them in stock last weekend and anybody that was quick off the mark and headed into store off their own back have been getting theirs. By the sounds of it they're now out of black handsets and there's only blue's left. The 21st is the date they've been given for new stock for new orders.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] indie:
The store have said to me there is no stock! Anyone been to a store in west london that has got an exchange??
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] MKchrias:
Just spoken to my 3rd cpw cs adviser, Stock showing on store system when i placed my order order tuesday for a black replacement , which failed to turn up thursday, was actually returned phones and all orders were canceled. Stock is due in first 3 weeks of october.

Â£50 goodwill payment being made to contract customers bank account on 19th September.

Samsung rang me this morning to say that Â£20 voucher should be with mr in 3 to 5 days.

Lets see what happens!
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ant78:
I spoke to samsung today and they have said you can order them again on there website from the 19th of this month, ill take that with a pinch of salt. He didn't say they would be in stock or pre order though
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Con1750:
Returned phones? That just sounds like there lying again, people that have received have the black squares on the stock stating new stock.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
21st Oct is just a safe date to avoid people calling up before then. It's pretty poor that more accurate date can't be provided.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] trickie69r:
I'm guessing that the reason why places are offering the s6/s6 edge is because the note is so much like the s7 edge that they are worried customers would prefer the s7 over the note 7 prompting lower note 7 sales.

Hi there,

H868 is locked up tight and the worst thing is it has NO GApps pre-installed. I tried microg but the stock ROM does not support signature spoofing.

Does anyone have any idea for installing gapps without root access or custom recovery? Not sure if gapps can be installed solely under user space (i.e not /system/app/). Tried installing gapps apks manually but the framework keeps force quitting :/

Would this work to root most devices, in this case the Yoga Tab 3 Pro (X90L) ?:

"Knowing that, the claim of being "pre-rooted" is partially true: you can use ADB to "push" the relevant files to your device. Four steps should do it:

adb shell "mount -o remount,rw /system"

adb push su /system/bin/su

adb push superuser.apk /system/app

adb reboot

After that reboot, your device should be "fully rooted" – and "root apps" should find everything they need to work, with you being in control of it via the superuser app."
