I've always had a iPhone and a Note soooo...What Im thinking of doing is taking my note 7 back that's on a 2 year, pre order the iPhone 7 plus black 256 add more money of course , my iPhone 6s plus is on lease but more then half is paid off so I'll trade that in for the note 7 with the better battery, then I should be good to go !!
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mibuix0r:
I need this phone, finally a upgrade from the Note 4 that I can get root on.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] bsweetness:
They actually said less than 0.1%, not 1%: "Products installed with the problematic battery account for less than 0.1% of the entire volume sold." One-tenth of one percent.

That said, as aulwes already posted, it doesn't matter. Doing a recall is the right thing to do regardless.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jenlovestattoos:
Question:

Is anyone else being told by Verizon that they will NOT replace the Note 7 with another Note 7? I currently on the phone with a Verizon rep who is stating that Verizon will not put out the Note 7 again and if I want out of mine I have to go to the S7/S7 Edge. I stated I know that none are on the shelves right now but was hoping for an ETA and was told there is none because Verizon will not sell a new Note 7 nor will they replace it with another Note 7.

Anyone else being told this??
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mobilecutzzfa:
No that's a first for me ...I think Verizon in different locations are deliberately mix communicating this whole thing cause they feel as though there not liable for this situation,but no no big red ..if Im with my friend when he robs a bank and we both get caught I might get less time if I testify against him but I'm just as liable for the crime also..

So Verizon I have a big shinny Verizon Note 7 logo on the back of my device not Samsung Note 7 so please stop pointing the finger and take some of the responsibility and make this transition sweet as possible please already !!!!!
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Bern612:
So here's my thought, that I don't know the answer to. Who installs the verizon software on the phone. The reason is, if samsung sends phones to verizon, then we have to wait for them to flash.. Wouldn't that make verizon liable if someone's phone has an issue??
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] articzap:
Went to store today, and they said the Samsung rep was there yesterday and the phones are due in beginning half of next week.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] GeoFX:
Bad analogy. The proper analogy would be that you purchase a car from someone, you get a notice that the manufacturer has issued a recall because of faulty airbags, and then you expect the guy who sold you the car to 1) give you a refund or 2) take the car in and drive it back to you once the fixes are done. In real-life this would be handled between the owner (in this case the buyer) and the manufacturer (or a dealer representing the manufacturer) only. Verizon doesn't represent anybody.

Verizon is under no legal obligation to be the "middle-man" for this and is only doing so to protect their reputation (like the other carrier's and big-box stores). If the carriers and stores had the same philosophy, they would force you to deal with Samsung direct under their exchange program. Luckily we live in a capitalistic world so they'll be more than willing to do things for you just to make money.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] dadsterflip:
Hoping so.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] GeoFX:
That's what Samsung said to the media last week :p
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mobilecutzzfa:
I'm not one to argue ...So thanks for correcting my bad analogy!! But I think some got the point
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] MatroxD:
Actually and honestly, and I know I'm living in a utopian world on this.. But I wish we could deal with Samsung directly, and maybe, just maybe, some of the features Verizon took away, Samsung would step in and add back..

Like I said, utopian to the extreme.. Lol

from note 7
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] californiarailroader:
Maybe the Z is on AT&T, but, on Monday I returned my Verizon Note 7 for a Moto Z Force Droid (VZ exclusive right now), and couldn't be happier, the reps in the Verizon corporate store even said they thought I got a better phone. The Note 7 is nice, no doubt about it, but this Z Force Droid is amazing too, and no lag, it runs so much smoother, it's crazy. Then there's Shattershield 2 for a shatterproof, crackproof screen, and the Moto Mods, very innovative. I have a Note 5 on my other line, so I'm set on that front. I'm really not too jazzed either with Samsung not going through normal channels to do this recall, aka the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission), hopefully the government steps in and makes this thing official, before any more cars or homes burn, or other, even worse things happen.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] bsweetness:
The reps always push exclusive devices and say they're the best. The Z Force is a nice phone with some great features, but reps can't be trusted on that sort of thing.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] dadsterflip:
Well. Austria Samsung said. They will have restocked the new note7 by the 21st.

Our number one priority is the safety of our customers, which is why we’ve worked hard to provide new replacement Note7 devices as quickly as possible. We appreciate our customers’ continued support as we start to deliver this new stock to operators and retailers around the country from September 21,”

Richard Fink, Vice President IT & Mobile, Samsung Electronics Australia.

Also the packaging will have a slight upgrade to tell recall from new ones. Some square icon by the bar code etc.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] californiarailroader:
Sometimes, yeah, but nobody even mentioned what phone I should get, there was no pressure or sales pitch involved.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
My store said they heard the new, safe Note 7's are arriving September 30th. That would be ridiculous. They'd have to change the exchange date then... One day to swap out would be so stupid.

I'm contemplating the V20 anyway, pending release date and reviews.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] dadsterflip:
Highly doubt that. Austria replacement is around the 21st and we are getting first dibs on replacements.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
Yeah that would be insane.

Has anybody else seen this story about the N7 in the news?

[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] californiarailroader:
Yep, I did, another reason why Samsung needs to be official and get this thing going though the Consumer Protection Safety Commission.

---------- Post added at 02:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------

https://www.google.com/amp/gizmodo....g-on-exploding-samsung-note-7s-1786452569/amp It's about time!

"Lithium-ion batteries pack a lot of power into a small package. When these batteries overheat and burst, the results can be serious. This is why the U.S Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is urging all consumers who own a Samsung Galaxy Note7 to power them down and stop charging or using the device.

This consumer warning is based on recent reports involving lithium-ion batteries in certain Note7 devices that have resulted in fires. These incidents have occurred while charging and during normal use, which has led us to call for consumers to power down their Note7s.

CPSC and Samsung are working cooperatively to formally announce an official recall of the devices, as soon as possible. CPSC is working quickly to determine whether a replacement Galaxy Note7 is an acceptable remedy for Samsung or their phone carriers to provide to consumers.

We advise all consumers to report product safety incidents involving lithium-ion batteries in smartphones to us via www.SaferProducts.gov."
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] dadsterflip:
Take it for what it is. Some bestbuy stores have received new 7 with the sticker indicating the updated ones. One tried to activate but the ieme or eime wasn't loaded yet on Verizon side. But who knows...
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] californiarailroader:
Speaking of that, I was thinking, it would be extremely easy for a less than honorable person or retailer to put the black square and S on current stock, those aren't much of a guarantee that the device you're getting is actually a good one.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] californiarailroader:
Uh oh, another exploding Galaxy, only this time it's an S7 Edge-

https://www.google.com/amp/www.andr...eged-galaxy-s7-edge-explosion-injury.html/amp

I have no idea if it's related, bad battery wise I mean, but it's certainly not the news Samsung needs.

You know its not just them.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] californiarailroader:
I know, it's just kinda ironic, with the whole Note 7 mess. It's probably just a random thing, but the timing is horrible for Samsung, and yes, I'm sure Apple, Moto, LG and others will probably take full advantage of the situation. I actually returned mine on Monday to Verizon (Ukiah, CA corporate store) for a Moto Z Force Droid, and so far, I'm extremely happy with it. With the Z Force Droid on one line, and a Note 5 on my other line, I think I'm set [emoji16] I have a feeling this is going to be a long summer and fall for Sammy.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] smalltownbird:
I got an email from Samsung this morning telling me to "Power down and exchange my Note 7 now". They are really getting worried it sounds like. I honestly am considering going to the iPhone 7 just because I've never had one. But I may just wait for new Note 7 stock.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] KubliKahn47:
Seems like now they are offering a J series phone as a loaner per the email. Who knows what Verizon will do.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jjayzx:
Only select carriers are doing the loaning and Verizon are being dicks.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Bern612:
Yeah I just called up to verizon. Said I can trade for a edge, but when note 7 comes in I can switch back as long as there's no scratches on the phone or I have to pay the insurance claim lol
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] bjtcars:
Looks like Samsung might deactivate the phone if you dont return it,

http://phandroid.com/2016/09/10/samsung-galaxy-note-7-deactivated/

I just swapped mine for the S7 Edge today and was assured that when the new notes come in I can swap back but we will see when it happens.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] redsman5501:
Have there been any reports of N7's catching on fire while NOT being charged?
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Bern612:
See that's the thing I don't think so.. I'm keeping mine until the deactivate it. I charge during the day mine hasn't gotten over 107f and that was in my work truck with no ac and GPS on
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] MrBaltazar:
About to have a class action if they deactivate and render $850 of people's money useless. And considering they don't have ANY replacement Note 7s in stock at stores to swap them with, it makes it even worse for them. I will happily swap my Note 7 for another one. I will not, however, swap for a s7 edge or s7. I had that phone all year and it's old news. They will give me a replacement non faulty note 7 and that's the end of story. I feel bad for the carrier rep that tries to tell me otherwise.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] coton:
Same here, I have it in writing that I can exchange the S7 Edge for a replacement Note 7 no matter how long it takes for the new replacements to arrive!

---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------

I also can exchange for ANY phone they have in the store if I should decide that I no longer want the Note 7.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] raduque:
I'm waiting for the new stock of Note 7's. There is no other acceptable replacement. And honestly, the real reason I won't accept another device is because of the 64gb storage. No other Samsung device has it.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] californiarailroader:
The Note 5 comes in a 64 option. 32 is fine if you have an SD Card slot.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] raduque:
Yeah, but then I lose my uSD slot, ip68 rating, updated FW, good fingerprint scanner, etc.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] apple eating samsung:
Has anyone gotten anywhere with Costco on the return? My local store said they will have new Notes in later this week and I could come in and exchange it. Anyone else get a consistent response along those lines? Does the Gear VR Samsung is giving out with replacements go to everyone, or just the people who bought direct from Samsung?
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] shawnten:
I am truly at a loss here. I just got off the phone with verizon and now they say they wont have the new phones before the 30th but we have to exchange the phone before the 30th. what the hell are you supposed to do if you still want a note 7
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Bern612:
My issue is the same as before... You exchange. You get a scratch on it, drop it ,anything... Now your stuck with a phone you really didn't want
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] TechBSwift:
Stop believing those liars lol, they have no clue. I went to Verizon today and one of the reps told me they don't have the phones and they have no clue when they are coming in. On my way out I ran into an old high school friend and told me my situation. He laughed and said come here, he opened a locked cage in the back and I'll be damned new note 7.... I know they were because they have that s sticker on the box. He said reps are told to say that to people because they can't release the new models until Samsung and consumer report/fcc gives the okay. (I may have quoted the gov bodies involved incorrectly)
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mobilecutzzfa:
So your old high school friend I assume works for Verizon ...great that you got the golden pass to go to back and check out the new stock !!!
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jjayzx:
So where's the picture of this "new note 7"? Don't forget to put a piece of paper with your username with it.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] MrBaltazar:
Seriously he's blowing smoke. There are very strict rules on going into an inventory room. My brother works at a corporate Verizon store. Word on the street is sometime around the 19th but it's just speculation at this point. He's going to let me know when they get them in stock so I can check my local stores . I keep calling daily, however. No luck so far
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] SomeGuy2008:
I called Verizon this morning to see what they would tell me about the return/exchange. Basically they said "as if this past Friday my local vzw store would have the replacement/fixed note 7 and I had by the end of this month to replace/exchange it.. No restock fee.. Yay. Lol.

I'm and not yet rooted since it sounds a little buggy.. But I may want to root the replacement note 7. So far my note 7 has been fine.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] californiarailroader:
It's the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) that's involved.

[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Buddyfunlove:
Took mine in Sunday and got my loaner s7 edge. Process was smooth, they knew what they were doing and he let me see that it was recorded on my account that this was a loaner. If I chose to do nothing I can just keep the s7... I did ask if I would be notified when the new note 7s were in and he was candid... "I would like to think you would...but...". Lol. I will just stop by next week.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mobilecutzzfa:

It's not a big deal when he is the general manager..... Again I didn't say I got mine, I said he showed me the stock was in. I called him an old friend, because like others I don't call everyone my friend that I don't hang with currently.

---------- Post added at 01:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

Full of what, did you not read. I clearly said he showed me the stock and stated they couldn't sell until they are approved. What's so hard to believe that they shipped phones.... You think in the last two weeks Samsung didn't make any new phones lol lol..... I would have responded sooner but I've been testing the new root method with overdrive for you ungrateful, negative commenting folks....
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] raduque:
One, I don't give a crap about root because it breaks Samsung Pay, which I use daily.

Two, your original post had wording that implied you were given a new Note7, the fixed one, with the sticker on the box.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mobilecutzzfa:
Ungrateful negative....I don't think my comment was any of those actually but usually when someone states a post like yours it comes with proof .. obviously we all love out note 7 and wanna get trustworthy info ,but name calling I don't think is the answer sir / ma'am

Hey,

[MENTION=7651894]gus33000[/MENTION] and myself have been working on a new app, called Retail Device Unlock, it will install a secure boot policy (ie, BOOTLOADER UNLOCK) on any Windows Phone (that can get to w10m by any means).

I kinda have a lack of testers right now, and without testers the app release won't happen any time soon.

Please to note that testers must be using a spare phone that you don't care if it gets bricked. Said phone must be running Windows Mobile 10 and be interop unlocked, using either latest vcreg (if Lumia x5x) or Interop Tools (if not).

If you're interested in testing, or just interested in progress, head to https://rol.im/chat/rtchurch :)

Thanks.
[Windows 10 Mobile] snickler:
As is listed above. USE A SPARE PHONE THAT YOU DON'T CARE IF IT GETS BRICKED. DO NOT use your daily phone for this. Follow all instructions that are listed by [MENTION=7651894]gus33000[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5059666]Wack0Distractor[/MENTION].

Do not post any cries for help due to bricking your phone. Let's try to keep this as clean as possible.

[Windows 10 Mobile] r3pwn:
There aren't any Roms now, because there is no bootloader unlock available yet. Once the unlock gets publicly released, the roms will start flowing.
[Windows 10 Mobile] Ma.Rio:
And what could a custom ROM for Win10M do? I had som custom ROMs back on my N8 (Symbian), and thinking back on it, it's nothing special. Is there really something useful that you can do on your device with a custom ROM?
[Windows 10 Mobile] r3pwn:
Basically anything. The unlock doesn't limit us to *just* custom roms. Did you see a little while ago how that one guy got Android running on his Lumia 525? That was done with the WPInternals bootloader unlock. Once the unlock gets released, we could start porting completely different OSes to our devices if we wanted to.
[Windows 10 Mobile] todarkness:

---------- Post added at 03:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 AM ----------

will the bootloader unlock work on any W10M devices ?? how long will it take?
[Windows 10 Mobile] MrCego:
Bootloader is apart from MainOS and Data partitions, so no, flashing the phone shouldn't rewrite bootloader in a future. Actually, Windows Phone Internal do a soft -unlock, It's possible when you flash your phone regret unlock.
[Windows 10 Mobile] gus33000:
This unlock will require you to undo the Bootloader unlock before reflashing. If you don't use the boot menu provided and don't undo the unlock by removing the policy there's a high risk of the device being permanently bricked after flashing a ffu. (See [MENTION=2854207]snickler[/MENTION] 3 phones with the blue background and sad face post on the first page, that's exactly what happened).
