[Note 7 Questions & Answers] pro_b:
I actually bought my S7 Edge off eBay brand new from one of the retailers. I got insurance on that device through the Worth Ave Group. Plus, all the devices still come with Samsung's Factory Warranty. I ordered the Note 7 from another high rated eBay retailer and will probably use the same company for insurance again.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jojorios:
Isn't the Samsung warranty void if the device is purchased for use in a different country ?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] naruto.ninjakid:
Do you have any further info. I thought the Samsung warranty is voided if the device is imported. I emailed an ebay seller if the warranty is through Samsung like they claimed and they never got back to me.

I think it is.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] galaxyluv:
Thanks for the reply! I actually thought Samsung warranty would be void if purchased in another country as well!

You probably for a different charger (with UK plug) - I live in Canada so I'm guessing I have to use an adapter - were you able to purchase a good adapter or a good north american charger?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Ogawa:
Can't speak to the Note 7, but I bought an S7 Edge international version from an ebayer seller. Within about a month, I'd dropped and cracked the screen. I knew it wasn't under warranty obviously, but I called AMEX and they said they'd pay to fix it with the card's built in insurance. I then proceeded to deal with Samsung for 2 months to try and get it fixed. Despite telling me they would and sending me a shipping label, they refused it once it got to them. They said that since it was an international model, they wouldn't fix it. They were real ****heads about it, despite my willingness to pay their $300 charge to replace the screen. Then they told me to send it to the UAE, who told me to send it to "Africa". Anyway, they all refused to fix it, even for a charge.

Thankfully AMEX covered my ass and just refunded me the original purchase price. Love the devices, but have literally never received worse customer service. Lies, misdirection, refusals, and all when I just wanted to give them more money...
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] galaxyluv:
Oh wow - thank you for sharing - might buy it with my Amex then! :)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Kovyrshin:
I wonder about possible problems of Exynos version with TMobile. Someone mentioned that it doesn't support LTE Band 12 or something.

Can anyone comment on that?

I really want to grab an unlocked now, but I don 't wanna lose my unlimited everything plan.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mrcultureshock:
That's ridiculous. I'll definitely use Amex to purchase the phone.

I also wonder if third party repair stores (online or local) might be able do the repair.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] pro_b:
Glad to see you got responses regarding warranty. I wasn't aware that Samsung wouldn't cover it. Thankfully, I've never damaged my phone. If I had, I'd probably go through the insurance group I purchased a plan through (The Worth Ave Group) anyway. With them I believe they won't fix the device but give you the amount that you paid for the device, so I'd just purchase another phone in that instance.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] cbutters:
Here is what you will lose going to international version:

-FM Radio

-Wifi Calling

-VOLTE

-Wifi Calling

-4x4 MIMO

-Samsung Pay (most likely)

-Slightly Faster Graphics Adreno 530

You will gain:

-Longer battery life (exynos)

-better multitasking (exynos)

-unlocked bootloader (to be confirmed)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] soraxd:
carrier specific software can be brought over easily enough. why did you list Samsung Pay? is there some hardware component the international version won't have?

another pro of the international version is the dedicated DAC the US version will lack.

and if you're a gamer Dolphin Emulator (aka playing gamecube/wii games) will only work on the international version
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] FuMMoD:
Everything we "lose" is software which can be done by flashing the Tmobile variant if you're on tmobile... etc.

I think the only thing hardware would be the FM Radio and obviously the GPU but the difference is minimal. Who uses FM anyways with all the great streaming services we have these days?

I'm all for unlocked bootloader, better battery and being able to flash the Tmobile rom on it for my VOLTE and Wifi calling. Plus people that actually travel out of the states would want a phone that's compatible with networks all around the world.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] cbutters:
Do some research, volte and Wi-Fi calling have yet to be figured out for s7 International version. Also the cpus are completely different, you can't just flash the international note7 with the T-Mobile rom. Also, new with the note 7 US version that the s7 edge did not have is a dedicated qualcomm DAC. All my points still stand as far as I can tell.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] pro_b:
I'd be curious to know if you could point me to information about a dedicated DAC in the Snapdragon Note 7. I hadn't heard that there was one but I'd be interested to read on it.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chord_Hugo87:
here's the deal on warranty. I bought my S7 edge international too, the screen is messed up, I sent to one of the location in the U.S, they will not Fix it. They said send it to Dubai Samsung, if you gonna buy international version, get the square trade from B&H for 2 years.

---------- Post added at 01:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 AM ----------

If you are somewhat of an audiophile and I assume you are since you ask about DAC. I recommend the JDS C5D, I used it a long time ago and its an outstanding Amplifier & DAC.

If you want better sound you could get a Alo rx Mk3B+ and CLAS-DB, its a bulky stack but music is much better than the C5D

and then theres the Chord Hugo...

[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Accessories] MrPandroid:
What sort of case/cases are you gonna get? Are you the type of person who gets more than one case? Lets discuss it here!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/MYBAT-Gloss...734120?hash=item54346bd1a8:g:qOEAAOSwRgJXkt4P

That's what I've gotten so far.

I'm also looking for one of those waterproof bag things...since I go out walking/running a lot, and would hate to get caught in the rain without something for it.
[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Accessories] Aphex33:
Here is the Case On Tpu Case. It fits really good and is medium thickness. I hope Rinke makes a case for this device, best quality cases by far. Also have a Nilkin Qin Case On the way. I'll post some pics when it arrives.

Thanks for the pictures. Helps a lot. I ordered a few cases to, I'll post when I get them.
[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Accessories] grogzero:
My experience with cases

I've ordered and tried several cases from eBay.

The best is a grey flip case. It fits the phone perfectly and the rubber insert is clear so the white phone looks good inside. It's protected the phone fairly well when I've dropped it. It was $7 from here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Luxury-Flip-Leather-Wallet-Card-Holder-Stand-Case-Cover-For-Sony-Phone-Models-/191988135913 I stuck a small flat magnet inside the credit card slot and pushed it to the bottom edge and the case activates the screen when I flip it open. I like that feature and wish they had positioned the magnet that the case already has properly so the screen sleep feature would just work. I quit carrying a wallet and only carry this case with a credit card and driver's license inside. The only issue I have with the case is when using the back camera flash. The case reflects the flash back into the lens and fogs things out. Also, you can't use this type of case with a selfie stick.

I bought a cheaper case with a canvas dark grey material and it's terrible. The case flip cover is about a half inch too wide. Also the rubber phone holster is black and doesn't fit the holes well. I didn't try to use it to take photos. It was $4 here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Luxury-Book-Flip-Stand-Wallet-PU-Leather-Soft-TPU-Cover-Case-For-Sony-Phone-/131705402325

I got this case for my wife after her first case failed. It's very rugged but the white gets dirty quickly. Also, I had to cut out the power and volume buttons because the rubber was so stiff that the power button would press if you held the side of the case hard (like a selfie stick). With the power button hole cut out we no longer have any problems with the phone screen going off by itself. It was under $4 here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hybrid-Rugged-Armor-Stand-Rubber-Case-Shockproof-Cover-Sony-XPERIA-XA-Ultra-/222294123946?var=&hash=item7955ec9560

And lastly, my wife wanted this case http://www.ebay.com/itm/US-Bing-Diamond-Mirror-PC-Cover-Metal-Aluminum-Bumper-Case-For-Sony-Phones-/162229273604 because of the bling but it blocked the signal when the phone was inside it. Also, she dropped the phone a couple of times and the cover popped open and the phone came bouncing out. I could probably have glued the case together to prevent that but there was nothing I could do to keep it from killing the GSM signal. So while she loved the case for the bling it just doesn't work.
[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Accessories] ray1234:
I have tried 3 flip covers already and they all have this same problem, I can take photo without the flash, but with flash it always fogs things out to a certain degree, I don't understand what is so special about this flash, the cutout hole at the back for the camera and flash seems wide enough and I am sure such cutout would work on other phones, but on this XA Ultra the flash is somehow so wide that it will reflect off the case and fog out the whole photo. Taking flash photos without the case will not have such problem.

Anyone find a case that can take flash photos?
[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Accessories] grogzero:
Flash Fog

I was able to reduce the flash fog on a white case by marking the insides of the camera/flash cutout with a sharpie black marker. I'm looking for a better solution though. So far even one of the clear cases I have shows the flash fog.
[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Accessories] rrvuhpg:
My girlfriend have the official SCR60 case in white and no problem with the flash. The case have a black plastic ring around the hole.
[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Accessories] ray1234:
That's it!! That's the solution!! I painted the inside of the cutout black, and no more foggy flash photos!! Thanks!!!

Now if there is a solution to my other problem with this phone..... is there a way to turn off the auto off function when using a flip cover? I happen to find a flip cover case with a window, expecting to see who is calling and the time without flipping it open. It is completely understandable to have the auto off when flip closed if it is a tablet, because you will not use a tablet when flip is closed. However, in a phone, I hope to see who is calling with a window in the flip cover, so that I can determine whether to take the call and how urgent the call is, with this phone I don't have this ability because the phone will stay off as long as the flip is closed, even pressing the on/off button will not turn on the phone.

Besides, I have this problem that my no brand flip cover when fully opened to the back will trigger the magnetic switch and switch off the screen, I don't know if the Sony original flip cover have this problem too?
[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Accessories] Aphex33:
Hi, I have a found a very nice case for our XAU. It looks nice, great fit, and keeps the power/volume buttons flush so your not accidentally pushing them when holding the phone. It's the Shanbo Tpu case found on EBay for $6. Here are some pics

Edit: all sold out.

Edit: Sorry, if that's what was meant my "smart switch" then never mind.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mrmattolsen:
I don't have download booster as an option -- might be carrier specific.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] samnada:
I have a G930U so that option may be called a different name. The description says "Download large files faster by using wi-fi and LTE networks at the same time." Sounds a lot like what you're calling "smart switch". I leave it off, but just turned it on and it shows a LTE icon above the wi-fi signal icon. The LTE is grayed out but constantly visible. It may light up when in use. It doesn't flicker though, so probably not your issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mrmattolsen:
Yeah I've turned off about any extra service I can find other than just wifi and data. I rebooted and it's fine right now, but I guarantee the issue will return a little later today until I reboot again. Battery drain and "cell standby" drain is definitely higher while the flicker is occurring.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] samnada:
Perhaps an app that bypasses wi-fi? Hate to suggest disabling one by one, but don't know how else to pin it down. Is there an app that shows resource use by app? Extra battery drain would definitely be aggravating.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mrmattolsen:
I don't have any unusual apps. I really think it's the OS but I can't nail down specifically what service. Highest use is the system. But while the issue is active, Cell Standby becomes a higher drain. Is it possible one of the bloatware services I disabled could cause the issue? The guy in the Reddit thread suggested turning off Aggressive Doze in Greenify, so I'll give that a try first.

GSAM Battery Monitor provides a per-app breakdown:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] samnada:
Could it be due to something you disabled? Perhaps. You could try enabling everything again and see if that solves it. Since my phone doesn't have the issue it's probably not a generic Samsung OS issue, but might be due to something AT&T did. Keep us posted.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mrmattolsen:
Yeah, the only other people I've heard with this issue at AT&T customers. Good that it's probably not a generic OS problem, but bad because that limits the pool of people who might have the same issue, fix it, and share the fix :p

Hi

Anyone successfully encrypted their remix os?

Mine just reboots to the os
[Remix OS for PC] danmiddle2:
I have the same issue, I think, when I click on Encrypt from within the Remix OS setting it just does a sort of reboot (quicker than a standard reboot, that is) and drops me back at the front pin screen.

Did you get anywhere with resolving this issue?

I am dual booting with Windows 10 (bitlocker encrypted). Both are installed on the internal SSD of my laptop. It is a GUID type partition with UEFI type BIOS.

The method I used to install (I didn't explore others as this seemed simple) was to unpack the Remix OS download from within Windows, create a FAT32 partition and copy to the new partition. I then used EasyUEFI to point at the relevant file to boot in /efi/boot.

The only other thing that I needed to do was to modify the persistant GRUB entry so that it would create a datafile, otherwise it basically ran in guest mode regardless of which option I selected.

It's been working well for a few weeks since initial install.

Thoughts or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

All the best,

Dan

Sorry to bump this thread again - but has anyone successfully encrypted their Remix OS install?
[Remix OS for PC] oaktwo:
Same here

Just to let you know - you're not the only ones. Currently my new RemixOS installation is failing to encrypt - I've installed it onto a USB stick and it fails both under Virtualbox and when booted directly from hardware.

From looking online for similar issues with Android in general they appear to be related to hardware settings like being connected to a wireless network, having an SD card in use, or not being in landscape - not I'm not sure how to fix this with Remix OS. Also I think all those issues refer to old versions of Android.

I'd be interested to hear if either of you fixed this problem, or on any tips on even how to get logs ( "logcat" appears to only show logs since the last boot, so isn't any use here ).
[Remix OS for PC] EmeryCaywood:
So this is an old thread, im hoping to get someone to answer these guys and my question. Can Remix OS be encrypted?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Armenin2001:
I'm on the fence, but I'm leaning towards a No.

I'll tell you why:

1. It's smaller then my Note 5 (while the difference isn't big on paper, its big in hand.. and to be honest after Note 5 and realizing how much more screen real estate = more use/functionality/video/beauty, I now want a BIGGER screen vs smaller)

2. Only 3500 mah battery, really? for a screen that size.. I know I know.. its the stylist, but still .. what do I use more often.. a stylist or extra day of battery?.. Battery wins

3. It's expensive as hell and really has the same guts as S7 Edge.. so no bragging rights that its so much better

1. Huawei Note 8 - 6.6 inches

2. Huawei Mate 8 - 6 inches
