no Solution

Sorry for my late reply to your answers - I was on a trip for a week.

Well - with Android 6 , this was a misreading by me. Sorry. It had 5.1.1 with Software 3.9.6. Now I did a full wipe and "up"grade to 3.8.6. Sadly this had no battery-effect at all. The only progress was, that the bad behaviour at every reboot to update all apps (took about 5-10 Minutes!) is over.

I guess it's a hardware-defect and I will send it back to eFox. Very sad about this - I like this phone really.

Thanks for your replies (sorry for bad english...)
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] oleg77:
3.9.6 is probably the UI version (User Interface), of the last official firmware :

3.8.6 is indeed the last stock OTA (over the air) firmware update : it's a lollipop (5.1) android update.

So you probably reflashed the same android firmware on the device.

Hello! I've bought m8s, before I had xperia z1. This m8s phone feels laggy, animations laggy and sometimes stuck on app. So decided to ask you is there's any way to make it lighting fast? I can (unlock bootloader?) root or flash custom rom, but there's a problem, I didn't found that someone creating kernels or roms for S.. ?

I just called them, they said bring it back to the store for a full refund or a new phone. Replacements aren't even available yet , why can't people just be competent, not asking for a genius, just basic competency.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] stlbluesfan:
You mean the reps? I think Tmobile is being pretty straight forward, so far compared to the other carriers who are not even really sure what to do yet. Overall though I hate the reps especially the ones in the stores. Most are clueless. The store basically says if you ordered it you have to go through Tmobile and the store won't issue a refund.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] stlbluesfan:
I hear battery life and the modules some were reporting they become loose over time and durability issues too I've seen people talk about. Overall a crap device that was hyped a lot before launch. I don't want to get a v20 and it has issues and is a crap phone. At least with the Note I know what I'm getting.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] supreme329:
The V20 is gonna be a monster. I actually owned the V10 and it was a power house. Very durable. V20 would be the only reason for me leaving Note 7
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] the Doctor:
From a business perspective, this is not the result of incompetence. They know that trial lawyers are waiting around for the first Note 7 from T-Mobile to burn so they can hit them (and Samsung) with a class-action lawsuit. If that happens, the cost to T-Mobile will be huge, so they are trying to get the Note 7s back ASAP, even though they aren't ready for it. This is a totally unexpected event. They didn't stockpile alternate phones in the last few weeks in preparation for a bunch of people trading back their brand-new Note 7s.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] aznmode:
They should allow a pre order replacement so not everyone is calling them or everyone going to the store at once when the new phones are available. It's gonna get chaotic.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] dirtymindedx:
Not returning mine. If it was going to blow up should have happened by now. Use original chargers ppl.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Thing is there is no official time line of events. Who knows how the failure works and when, not saying most will be affected but saying it hasnt happened yet isnt really concrete proof it wont ever happen.

Like the ring of death on the Xbox 360.

Also no phone should explode if you are using a different charger. Thats again a failure of the manufacturer

Note 7 replacement

I just received this email from T-Mobile

Dear Customer,

Samsung notified us today that they are recalling the Galaxy Note7 due to a battery safety concern. There have been 35 cases reported globally as of September 1st. Samsung has communicated to us that they will have replacement Note7 devices that should be available in the next 2-4 weeks.

As our customer, your safety is our number one priority. We're making it easy for you to return and exchange your Galaxy Note7, free of charge.

You have options:

1.Sign up and we’ll let you know when the new Samsung Galaxy Note7 is available

2.Switch to a new device

3.Return phone for a full refund
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] rcobourn:
I'm a bit conflicted. Odds are there is nothing wrong with my battery, and otherwise this phone is perfect. Who knows if the replacement, rushed out in the next couple of weeks, will be as good.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Yoshi1221:
Probably the same with mine, but I'd rather be safe than sorry, the rep I spoke with that was a supervisor said we have until the 30th to decide
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] truckerdewd:
Got the same email. I had already filled out the form to be notified when they had a replacement in stock prior to getting the email.

Sent from my wickedly kewl Samsung Galaxy Note 7 using my S Pen. Duh!!!
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] lildoggs:
I'm not having any issues with mine either but just for safety proposes I'm going to get the replacement. Just in case. Lol
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] raw2000j:
im good
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] louforgiveno:
I posted a similar post yesterday, I've seen it with HTC and Samsung where a few months into sales of a phone they seem to silently switch manufacturing to another vendor or use cheaper parts I guess to improve profits.....so my thought is now with this whole recall and it's cost to the bottom line will Samsung (A) Keep everything quality wise the same and take the full hit? or (B) Save every penny they can short of the battery pack? (i.e cheaper made camera parts from cheaper vendor etc)
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] spridell:
You know someone on the boards the other day brought up a good point.

If the CPSC gets involved with this (as of now they are NOT) it will be illegal to sell a note 7 that has been recalled. So if you were going to sell your faulty Note 7 on ebay or something

it would be illegal.

So i would def get a replacement if you are planning to sell down the road.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] rosedog:
My wife and I will trade ours in when they get the replacements in stock. We're not going to trade it in just quite yet.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] i killed tupac:
its my understanding that T Mobile US might not be affected by the recall at all, and we all might not wind up needing new phones.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Source?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] stlbluesfan:
Over on Android Central, someone who works for tmobile posted a pic of a demo Tmobile Note 7 at a St. Louis area store that exploded. I think it doesn't matter to be honest ours were made in China. I quit using mine and will see what v20 brings to the table and maybe IPhone. If so I will swap it out for it or return it and buy it. Most likely next week I will simply swap out for a new Note 7.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] chipworkz:
There were comments that the T-Mobile units were made in China so they were not affected but I don't know how we can say that is true. It may or may not be but we have no way to know. Samsung SDI made the problem batteries and that accounts for 70% of all the phones made. The other 30% were made by China ATL but that doesn't mean that we can assume that all phones made it China used the Chinese battery.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] i killed tupac:
My buddy manages a T-Mobile and he said as far as he knows a lot of T-Mobile ones are fine. I'm sure if Samsung figures out exactly what models were effected, that's all they will recall
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Given my run with Tmo employees and managers, I'll still err on the side of caution.

Not to mention I will get an extra charger, pen, pen tips, and headphones out of it.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] i killed tupac:
Yes I went to know what happens with the protection plus I bought too....I'll post what I find out
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] The Stig 04:
For the people saying they don't want a replacement because their phone "seems fine" or "should have blown up by now" I recommend you do so for your own safety. Like someone mentioned you just don't know when the battery will go, and I'd hate to see a year from now someone trying to sue Samsung because the phone blew up only to receive (A) a back hand to the face or (B) wrongfully win millions of dollars because you didn't want to follow their instructions. It amazes me to see that when a company is trying to do right by admitting they have a problem and offering a solution, people still want to chance it.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] spridell:
Plus there are now 2 confirmed reports of T-mobile phones catching fire.

Def swap it out.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Obviously it doesn't mean a whole lot for us but at least one user in UK is reporting being contacted and scheduled to get his/her replacement.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] JaguarXT:
The answer I get is if I want the newer version of Note 7: Stop by your local T-Mobile store with your current Note 7 and box that it came with from time to time to see if the store have some new Note 7 in and exchange with the store. You can call into your local T-Mobile store to see when if they have new Note 7 in the store.

Basically when the T-Mobile stores get some new Note 7 in you can go into the store with your old Note 7 with box and do an exchange. Even if you ordered your old Note 7 online or on phone you can still exchange at store. If you have problem with store have store call T-Mobile for approval for the exchange within the store.

I know Samsung said within a week. But in the real world it may take up to two to three weeks for the T-Mobile stores to get the newer version of Note 7 in.

I know that Samsung is going to fix some other hardware stuff on this newer version. So why not just wait and do the exchange? You will be on par with others that purchase Note 7 from this point on.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] stlbluesfan:
I they don't come in for at least a couple weeks will Tmobile extend the sept 30th deadline?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] JaguarXT:
T-Mobile will make it possible for the exchange. Even if they don't get the new versions of Note 7 until after Sept 30th. But it is your responsibility to keep in contact with your local T-Mobile store on their Note 7 status and get in there asap to do the exchange.

I would also keep T-Mobile rep informed of the store not getting in time and your efforts. They will work with you on this. Again being proactive is your responsibility.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Who is telling you to bring the box?

---------- Post added at 12:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------

Soo why do they offer up the sign up page to be notified?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] JaguarXT:
The T-Mobile rep. The box has the IMEI and SIM Serial numbers.

Also said that it is not needed to bring the accessories with you, like charger, etc... I will keep those.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Eh, those numbers are also in the device and on that sticker that comes in the box for shipping but I get it now. Long as they aren't expecting the pen, the tips, the headphones, the charger or the adapter. The price of doing business.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] JaguarXT:
Are you going to trust their servers to tell you when the store have received a shipment of new Note 7? Or are you going to trust the store workers to know what they have in the store? If you check the stores regularly then you have first grabs and make sure you get your Note 7 exchange in a timely matter. With that I agree with the T-Mobile rep.

---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 PM ----------

The pen I don't know. Since the pen is part of the phone itself. But we can try.

The adapters, headphones, charger and type c cable is not needed for the exchange. The charger and type c cable is well worth keeping.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] stlbluesfan:
Has Samsung started shipping replacements yet?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] messiahfreedom:
Do I have to bring the headphones and other stuff when returning or exchanging the note? I can't find one of the adapters and the I left the headphones in PA and I'm in NY.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] ggrant3876:
Just got off of the phone with my local T-Mobile store and was told Samsung has told them 2-4 weeks and they will extend the deadline. Also to bring it in the original box with ALL of the accessories.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] alibox87:
Just left Tmobile store ..the manager it's a very close friend to me he told they expecting the shipment any time starting tomorrow Thursday he will call as soon as he got them .also you can't change the color wherever you got the first day you will have it .and just the phone no box since they can pull your IMEI number for the phone . Am traveling Saturday over seas I asked if I can do the the replacement when I get back he said yes cause Tmobile they will know when you buy your phone and if you are using it here in the US or outside. This guy he own one too and he never had problem with and he will keep it till he come back since his traveling too.

Also I lost my note 7 one day befor the recall started assurant sent me one . And I kept the phone in the charger almost 20!hours in the charger (charge it over night and in the car since I work on Uber ) and I never had in problem .

I called the assurant and they said yes they may refund my 175$ they still working on a something and they will call me.

Thank you
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
If I "lost" them, you really think they wont exchange your phone.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] suzook:
Lmao, yea, you know the "new" version note will have updated hw I guess your an engineer for Samsung. The only thing new will be the proper battery cells. And to all the idiots thinking they will be getting to keep all accessories, I have a bridge for sale. When you go into store, they will swap out whatever you bring in. So if it's just a phone, it's just A phone you get.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] ggrant3876:
I saw one on G+ that said they did. So many conflicting reports now.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
You knock one guy for making an assumption on the hardware and then do the exact same thing in regards to accessories, I guess you are actually working for them.

LMAO yes the Tmo rep will open up the box and remove all the accessories and do what with them? Put them in a zip lock bag to send them back to Samsung? Unless Samsung is shipping phones in zip lock bags just for exchanges (which they arent), every phone comes with a box and its contents are included.

I mean do you think not having a charger and spen affects trade in value lol.

---------- Post added at 02:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 PM ----------

I highly doubt it. Lets see the headline now. I lost my charger so they wouldn't exchange my phone. Phone burns down house.

When I asked the guys on Twitter and called the hot line both instances they said you only need the phone. Of course that could all change but I will be walking in the door with a phone. They will be lucky if I have the spen.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] suzook:
Dum@$$, they will put your phone in the box the new one came in

Whatever you bring in, you get new. Make sense now Einstein?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] dems86:
I've kept the boxes and accessories for every phone I've ever turned back in on JUMP or JOD, but this is going to be the one time they require the accessories?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] suzook:
This is entirely different. Samsung wants everything back. The store gets reimbursed when Samsung receives it back. They are sending complete boxed up phones. Even exchange, you have just phone? You get just phone. Phone and charger, you get phone and charger. Simple as that.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
The silly thing is you think it didn't make sense. No it was just an ignorant ill informed statement to begin with, there is nothing to confuse but thanks.

Crazy thing is I've exchanged two phones in store at Tmo, one was for a different phone and the other was for the same phone because of a defect. Both instances the employee asked for the phone, I gave it to them. They asked if I need help setting up the new one. I said no and walked out with a phone, sealed in the box.

Oh lawdy I better go back and return those items to them. But please continue. Resorting to insults really helps your discussion points little buddy.

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 PM ----------

Do you have a source? Simple yes or no. Since you can quote what Samsung wants..
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] suzook:
Yes.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
So quote your source, instead of coming in and being a tool, put your money where your mouth is. Is that so hard?

Also please dont let it be a sales person in a store.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] dems86:
Yeah, because we've already got multiple different responses regarding this same issue from T-Mobile in store and online and over the phone.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] drmacrofish:
Good Lord people. The accessories will not have to be returned. Some people will not even have the accessories. The may have even thrown out the headphones. Don't feed the troll. Some stores may tell you that they need the accessories, but likely that is just so the employees can keep them themselves, which is what they usually do. I know.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] The Stig 04:
I'm not speaking for anyone but myself but with T-Mobile and using my jumps they have always made it clear they DO NOT want the accessories back and I can keep them all. Now obviously this is a different situation than a jump but I'm not sure why I would need to return them seeing as the accessories have nothing to do with an exploding battery.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] louforgiveno:
For the RECORD !! I returned one of my 7's over the weekend......I took out all the accessories and kept them, the 2 reps helping never even attempted to look for accessories.....They don't care and if you find a rep that does care, most likely they have an ad on craigslist selling accessories on the "side", cause they are not required at all.

This from someone who has already returned a Note 7 !
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] slaapliedje:
They already started exchanging them then? From the email I received, it seemed it wouldn't be until next week. Unless of course you got one exchanged from the original batch? Anyone know if there is even a way to tell yet?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] louforgiveno:
I had ordered one on a Saturday for shipping, by Tuesday I saw no movement and it hadn't shipped, same day found a store with units in stock, called CS cancelled order (so I thought) and purchased in-store....2 days later shipped note arrived. The shipped unit was the one I returned after opening just to get the accessories....***before recall I was told I'd have to ship it back with the return label (which was not present in the package) so the recall helped me avoid that crap.

***oh yeah btw I turned it in for full refund, 2nd unit will exchange when available
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] slaapliedje:
I just talked to the store near where I work, and he thought the replacements should show up next week, which is what I had previously thought.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] misterpogs:
Called T-Mobile yesterday. Asked what the exact procedure for exchanging the Note was. She wasn't exactly clear about it, possibly because she didn't really understand what I was asking, despite having repeated myself several times. She did ask me which color note I was hoping to get as a replacement, which led me to ask whether the exchange was happening over mail, and whether I would be getting the replacement Note before I send off the current Note. She couldn't give me a straight answer, but she did suggest that I could send the phone back and buy a new one with the refund. I told her that wouldn't do because I couldn't be without a phone. She resolved to call me next week with better answers and I agreed. T-Mobile Phillipines btw.
