[Note 7 Questions & Answers] lisbon2004:
I say the truth. Are you upset that i mention that battery is non-removable?

or that it is also hard glued - according to ifixit report - to the fragile glass back (that cracks easily - as per this very thread)?

you are fine that the battery is no longer removable, and that many users have lost the very-much-needed ability to replace batteries themselves. You are not happy that we talk about it, and voice our discontent.

and about your "nonsense" comment, you are just making yourself look stupid.

because there are many users like me, with actual degraded batteries.

that have caused a lot of harm by the way, because at the certain point the battery degrades so much that random unexpected reboots and shutdowns start, while the battery claims it still has 50% left, and the user doesn't know why, not suspecting the battery at all. There were even cases of users re-flashing roms etc, wasting a lot of time and efforts.

we had to buy a new one, and we actually posess the degraded battery, and can defend it.

can you prove that the battery did not degrade in my case, and other users in my situation?

no, you can't.

i'll tell you what. You know i'm right, and you agree with me, but it makes you unhappy.

because you know you have made a bad decision, and wasted 850 EUR.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] johnzm:
https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+Note7+Teardown/66389

according to that the battery comes out without trouble, with the right tools.

if you dont like phones with "non replaceable" batteries, you just eliminated 3/4 or more of the best available phones.

join the club of people that dont like it (i am in the same club) and still buy the phone, or you can just go ahead and pickup a note4, then you can head on over to that forum lol
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] sebastianraven:
Nah, front glass is fine.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
Some small mercies then! The reason why I ask is if a phone like our bends one side of the glass will be subjected to a pressure-impact force while the other a stretching-expanding force. The pressure force may shatter the whole glass while the stretching force may 'only' crack it.

This is going to be a problem for you with Samsung. So many users break their screens. WE all know some are genuine as glass is arguably one of the most unpredictable substances used on a mobile. Two sheets of glass glued to a metal frame is always going to pose some risk as the metal frame will contract and expand with heat while the glass will not.

There is zero doubt that all these flagship mobiles are less user friendly due to various reasons. We wanted thin, fast, light mobiles and we got them. Its always a question of trade off's. The CAT mobile phone looks like a house brick and is much MUCH tougher, its built for a given purpose though.

I do wish you the best of luck with your claim. Let us know how you get on with Samsung. :highfive:

So... Insurance came through and I got a new phone. I'm going to try to get another memory card to offset the $199 for the deductible I paid.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Pick_A_Name:
I feel your pain. I was laying on my back outside with the dog and my phone slipped out of my pocked and fell about 3" and cracked. My case hadn't come yet. I think it's one of the most ignorant design choices to make (putting glass on an item that gets dropped by every user). The only time it looks good is in the store because after that it's too fragile to not use a case. It's the most slippery device I've ever held (or tried to). In the store it has the cable hooked to it that you kind of grab onto so you don't really know how slippery it is until you get it home. I take full responsibility for the crack because I knew it was slick and I didn't have a case yet. But I'll still complain because they should know better. If they actually used the device before they put it out there, then they knew it would be this way. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but makes me wonder if they plan for it to make extra money... :confused: :D

For people with sprint..i wanted to know is there an app like the "On demand" app that has everything you need.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supervandy:
Is there anything in particular I need to know regarding flashing from a stock rooted Nougat to the latest CM13 nightly? Or just the standard backup, factory reset in TWRP, install CM and open gapps, and reboot?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Just the usual flash routine. You'll need to flash the appropriate vendor too.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supervandy:
Thanks. I actually went ahead and did the usual flash routine but didn't flash the older vendor... Upon booting it just sat at the Google logo (the text, not the boot animation) for 10+ minutes so I quit and reverted to my Nougat backup. Did it stall upon booting because I didn't flash vendor?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Most likely.

I'm coming back to htc from using Samsung for many years. Last htc device was the mogel and don't recall all the s off/s on stuff I'm seeing on the 10. My question is what's needed for rooting and flashing roms yet still have the ability to go 100% stock? I've seen root junkys stuff about unlocking via htcdev and then flashing twrp and root but also read sunshine talked about also. What ways better to go about or is it a mix of both needed?tia

You don't need S-off to install a custom ROM, but you do need to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP recovery. Best way to unlock is via HTC Dev. Here's a link to help get you started:

I just can't wait for Google to upload an official Nougat image for our beloved Shamu, so I compiled this from the source.

V4 Flashable ZIP: https://mega.nz/#!qkpBHQwY!9fWIu36NCDtP4NXnTnWE_FblWlk9vrwNtDE13eJbocA

Obligatory screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/cXrnH

Working

As Shamu is a supported device, most things work well here:

Booting

Cellular (Calling, SMS and data)

Audio

Wi-Fi

Bluetooth

GApps (see below)

Easter egg :p

Not working (?)

Not working on Verizon, as reported here

There are probably more

GApps

This build has dm-verity enabled. With the stock kernel, GApps will not show up, or a warning is displayed when booting. To solve this, either use a custom kernel or use FED-Patcher.

After installing OpenGApps, you may encounter force closes during the Setup Wizard.

Afterwards, to get rid of the Play Services force closes, go to Settings > Apps > Three dot menu > Show system and find Google Play Services. Enter the Permissions menu and grant all the permission it needs.

If apps requiring WebView force close, try excluding "WebviewGoogle" using the gapps-config config file. Details are available here.

Sources

This build was compiled on a modified tree. See the changelog for details.

Vendor blobs are downloaded from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/blobs-preview

Just curious why you're calling it "useless"?

Have you tested it at all, and if so, what works and what doesn't work?

Iirc, at the very minimum, you need to symlink vendor to system to get cellular connectivity working.

Here is more info regarding the need for symlinking:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Zhaofeng Li:
Thank you. Cellular connectivity is working, and the vendor blobs are present in the build. The exclamation mark on the screenshots are due to Google servers being blocked in China (which you can fix by changing the captive_portal_server global setting, in case if you are in the affected regions).

The reason I call it "useless" is that Google will likely get the official images out very soon, and this build will quickly become obsolete.

I will update the original post to include the test results.

It actually works fine for Verizon if you don't mind using speakerphone, headphones, or BT earpiece or devices to make phone calls. Great work :good: I don't think it's anything you've done. I think Nougat blobs are busted for Verizon call audio as the official is not out yet likely for that reason. The 2 AOSP roms that have Verizon call audio working are likely using MM blobs combined with AOSP 7 tree (DespairFactor Uberstock and RatchetPanda NuttyNexus). :good:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Q9Nap:
I just flashed 7.0 pico open gapps, and the files install to /system, but don't show up.

This is due to dm-verity check.

Flashing a custom kernel such as elemental x 4.07 will fix this issue: http://elementalx.org/devices/nexus-6/

It is made for dev preview 5, but works.

Google Play Services continually stop working, but you can still access the Play Store.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Zhaofeng Li:
Oh right, forgot about the dm-verity thing as I've used pure stock for long :p As for the Play Services force closes, it's due to some permission problems according to zaclimon who is working on the Nougat build for N7 2013. I'm building with https://github.com/TeamExodus/frameworks_base/commit/9c36be651e83fb039a262682839bd920b033007a to see if it will fix the issue.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RetroHetero:
It's sad that Google hasn't released the official image of 7.0 for Shamu before a developer did. Where you at, Google? :/
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Zhaofeng Li:
Sadly it didn't work. If you have trouble finishing the Setup Wizard, try some build.prop magic to bypass it:

ro.setupwizard.mode=DISABLED

... or simply upgrade while preserving previous data.

Edit: And then, to get rid of the Play Services force closes, go to Settings > Apps > Three dot menu > Show system and find Google Play Services. Enter the Permissions menu and grant all the permission it needs.

Um, I thought moto/shamu-kernel was the source, but it was only the prebuilt kernel. Need to look closer next time. For the blobs, I used the preview binaries for this build. I know they aren't updated, but they seem to work fine.

That'd be great, thank you! Mega sure is a bit annoying on mobile devices.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] zelendel:
Yeah but that wasn't for 7.0 that was pushed to aosp. It was for the preview and as such still held to the GPL which needs source links posted but I wouldn't worry about it as it will cause issues and things not to work right.
