I don't know what you heard but that would be impossible. This is a safety recall and if they were to refuse you to return your phone for any reason and it would to catch on fire and someone get hurt that would be a liability. I work in the Auto industry and just like any recall there's no limitation. If they would refuse you to trade in your phone for any reason they would be completely liable for whatever happened to you with that phone. Does it matter how long you hold onto the phone the phone still deemed dangerous and if you want out they have to let you out by law.

Have you not received the email T-Mobile sent out [MENTION=228206]Raymond[/MENTION]? Just sign up and they will email you when the new ones come in then you just go and exchange yours.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] RaymondPJR:
You misread my post!. My complaint was that they knew nothing of a logical, sensible method of exchanging for a new Note. They said bring it in when we get replacements, no signing up to be called when they arrived. The other options were refund or get some other phone.

What's the exploding count for the Note 7 within the US so far? I heard of two cases where a car and a home caught on fire, just wondering if there were more.

Mine doesn't get to hot, though I have heard my cousin complain a few times that his get pretty warm to the touch. Once they have the exchanges in I'll swap mine out.

I'm exchanging mine in store on the 16th. I think Samsung should kick in a pair of their Wireless Level Actives (or such) as a goodwill jester to those of us that they have inconvenienced with potential bombs on us.

Exchanging for a new note? is the 16th the day!?"
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] rosedog:
That is the day I was told by my T-Mobile store when they are getting their shipment. I was also told that they will be getting shipments everyday for the Note 7.

I will be there early to get my place in line and have to wait about an hour for the shipment to arrive. They told me their shipments come in at 11am. Keep in mind this is my local Tmo Store and it may vary per store (shipment arrival times).

[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] truckerdewd:
Got one from Samsung but I am waiting until replacements come in. Was at my local store the evening and the guy didn't have an exact date but said they would have replacements some time next week.

I went to my local store after 7 pm central time which was more than an hour after the 4 pm PT update and that was the info I was given. I was told that if I chose to return the phone and wait for a replacement, I would be without s phone until replacements arrived unless I had my own backup phone which I don't. The manager of the store also has a Note 7 and is going to keep his until replacements arrive. He said you can't just turn in your phone and have them give you a temp phone until replacements arrive cause it doesn't work that way. I have dealt with this guy for the last 3 years and he is the only one in the store I will deal with so I trust the dude. He has always been straight and honest with me on stuff and goes out of his way to take care of me and my family's phone, tablet, and accessory purchases and any plan issues we may have.

He also said it's a voluntary, not mandatory turn in. You can turn it in if you want but will be without a phone until replacements arrive or you can do the complete return. We both agreed that we would hang onto our phones until replacements arrive unless it becomes a mandatory turn in that comes from T-Mobile themselves.

I think this was before the CPSC got involved.

Samsungs new statement is saying CPSC must approve the new devices first before samsung can release them
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] toastido:
Just got done returning the note7 for a Samsung Galaxy 7 Edge. The only thing they needed the box for was the stickers, and the s7 edge qualifies for a free gear VR or a Samsung 256 gigabyte SD card as a promotional item. Haven't decided if I'm going back to the note7 when the new units are in or not, but i got to keep the earbuds and charger from the n7.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Eudeferrer:
You MUST return your phone or you will end up with a useless brick! Samsung will deactivate it remotely for you on Sept 30th if you haven't returned it by then.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] chipworkz:
I am thinking I may just return it for a full refund. It is a nice phone but the main reason I got it early was to get the free gift, Gear Fit 2.

I still have my Note 5 to go back to so there is no real benefit to go to something else right now while waiting for the fixed Note 7 to come out. Doing the full refund will open up more options . I could go to the V20, new Google phone or even the Note 7 later once everything has settled down.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] galaxy4mylife:
We would if T-Mobile or Samsung or the US Govt would give us a more exact time frame them sometime in the next several weeks pending approval. AKA when hell freezes over.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] johnny tsunami:
I thought I read it would be sep 19th they would start shipping the new phones.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] RaymondPJR:
At this point what's really going to happen is anyone's guess. I think this whole recall has gotten a little out of control! A disorganized recall is worse than the recall itself IMO! Heads are rolling in Korea I imagine. I'm not going to make any moves until the deadline approaches at the end of the month.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] johnny tsunami:
I'm just going to keep my N7 as long as possible, and exchange when possible. But for now I have found a work around, when I charge my phone I put it in a thick cooking pan lol.

Yeah but the problem is there are reports coming out now that the phone is catching fire while NOT charging. Just regular use.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:
With the Note5 taking a stepback from the Note 4 WRT removing Memory Card, no IR Blaster, Removable battery etc etc... And now the Note7 having faulty batteries that are smaller than the S7 Edge battery, no IR Blaster etc... I thought I'd start a Note 4 Appreciation thread where we can post what we like about our beloved Note 4.

I honestly thought I was going to get a Note 7, but with the delays, its had me looking and wondering why I want to upgrade when the Note 4 can still hold its own so well.

The Removable Battery has allowed me to extend my Note4's usage life, as I replaced battery at a low cost with another OEM one, and I plan on getting another just in case the S8 Edge and Note 8 disappoint, or until I find a TRUE Note4 upgrade.

Interesting that since 2014 not one OEM incl. Samsung can truly replicate the sheer prowess of the Note 4 :)

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Kinsman-UK:
This.

With a new battery, a new screen protector, a new case, and a factory reset after Marshmallow upgrade, this is like a new phone. I have zero problems, zero complaints, and zero reason to 'upgrade' to a phone that actually has less features. Sadly, I don't think the versatility of the Note 4 will be replicated any time soon, so I'm hoping to get another few years out of this one!

:good:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
My N910C is working just fine, it does whatever I want it to do. It runs all my apps and games without any problems. I have a excellent case for it. All I need to do is get a Gear VR unit to try out the VR platform and wait for my replacement spare battery to arrive.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ithehappy:
While I don't have the "zero complaint" part, still its needless to say Note 4 was the last practical mobile phone Samsung had ever released. I don't want a f***ing jewellery, but a mobile phone, where Note 4 ends.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wowrlz123:
For me the Note 4 is the best phone I have ever used. I considered uprgading to S7 edge but I dont find it that much of an upgrade to buy one. The Note still has a great camera which produces high quality pictures, for me only S6 got a better camera. The performance is great all games and apps are running smooth even in native resolution with Game Tuner. The screen is gorgeous and its pretty bright in sunlight. The removable battery, IR blaster and SD card are great companions. This device still dont have any true rival, atleast for me. Probably Note 8 will make me upgrade from my Note 4. I found that the best Notes for me are those with even numbers 2,4, maybe 8? So yes, Note 4, best device ever.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:
Must say, also appreciate the fact that the Note 4 is one of the last phones that is still durable without a dam case or cover.

The last Note that doesn't require protection.

via Galaxy Note 4 +128GB MicroSDXC
[Galaxy Note 4 General] filthydani112:
I agree wholeheartedly, many people dont realize how useful it is to replace the batteries on the go, and the durability of the device is more than great I dont even use any cases since I bought it 2 years ago, alot of N7 owners had their back cover cracked in first week! I think samsung hit the ceiling with N4.

Note 8 should remove the back glass and give us removable battery if it wants to get back on track and give us a real reason to upgrade, I just bought GTX 1080 instead of N7 cause I know it well last me more than 2~3 years and it will be worth the upgrade from 580
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tiguy99:
Now that I have a 910c, I can honestly say this phone could have come out in 2016 and competed against anything on the market...

It's THAT good.

So happy I decided to get this one vs upgrading to a newer phone and just paying the higher depreciation for nothing
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
Yeah, the N910C can still hold it's own even against the modern flagships of today.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ruicc:
Get real guys, Samsung will never produce another Note with removable battery...you can bet on this.

I guess Samsung consider more important waterproof than removable batteries...and this definitely kills the removable batteries and external SD cards.

But, i got to say...this the best phone i've ever had...great quality construction, love the dark laterals with the silver edges, it's fast and has an amazing screen...

I don't intend trade for another Note, the problem it's to find a better phone, because speed it's not enough...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ProzakVizaq:
Well, I have had all the Notes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) except for the Note 7...

Number 4 is definitely a beast among them. I owned the Note 3 chronologically, then I bought LG G4 (by mistake), then I had an annoying the Note 5. As soon as I sold the Note 5, I immediately bought the Note 4 and this, to my mind, was an upgrade over nubmer 5 rather than downgrade.

The Note 4 is the last galaxy device where engineers still beat marketing managers out.

The Note 5 and 7 is for those who are marketing-hypnotizable and realy don't have any motivation to change a device or dependent on figures (AnTuTu results, OS update figire, etc.)

Working as a charm, the Note 4 is a beast for practical people too.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] paddymcg1:
I bought a Note 4 N910F about 3 weeks ago as I was looking for an upgrade. I had my eye on it for a while as it still has everything I need in a phone in 2016. Once a stable, fully featured Note 7 ROM is ported , this device will be given new life
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tiguy99:
This!!!!!

So happy I bought this phone recently as well

No doubt there are some promising new phones out but this one else puts a lot of them to shame

Samsung put everything they have into the Note 4 and it shows.

2 years later and it runs as if it just came out...no slow downs nothing
[Galaxy Note 4 General] cfds:
I recently bought a "as new" Note 4. My daily driver is a Lenovo Zuk Z1 running a stock CM12 out of the box.

Comparing both...difficult. The Zuk1 is fast, very fast and I have the feeling faster that the Note 4 running on a fresh MM.

Not even mentioning the huge battery in the Zuk.

I would be very tempted buying a Note 4 dual sim but I have learned that sim 2 slot on the Note 4 has limitations in 3g etc.

The Zuk Z1 dual sim has no limitations...I can swap the 3g function from one sim to the other, I can deactivate sim 1 or sim 2 separately something which is apparently no longer possible under MM.

Back to the Note 4, I love the design, the S Pen, the display...I agree that Samsung hit a home-run with this phone.

I bought a second Note 4 with a defective display...I will replace the display as this is still doable at home. Looked on youtube how to replace a display on a note 5 and here its no longer an easy task.

So the wife will soon have her Note 4, she still using a Note 2 currently...

The good thing is that the Note 4 has been sold in huge numbers so lots of spares to be found and cheap ones with cosmetic damage!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] optimummind:
GTX 1080 FTW! I also upgraded from a 500-series card (570) and, wow, what a difference! I even upgraded my monitor to take full advantage of the 1080 GTX's power.

Back on topic, I love my Note 4 910C. Skipped both the Note 5 & 7. Only weakness is the camera, IMO, compared to more modern flagships.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
It is still possible to make a device with a removable battery water resistant as Samsung has proven that it is possible when they released the SGS5 and SGS5 Neo. It's just that allot of people don't want plastic phones as they think they are cheap and want phones with a glass and metal sandwich construction as they feel that is more "premium".

I think the ISOCELL sensor on my N910C takes excellent shots and in some instances it takes better shots than the SGS6 and Note 5.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Turkawa:
That is so true!

I was at least disappointed with vaunted LG G4 camera when it spoiled all my outdoor New Year night photos with lots of illumination in auto mode. Note 4 cam did it way better
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
The problem with the camera on the LG G4 is that the laser auto focus was always wondering around looking for a focal point. It could never get a good lock on a single focal point.

[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] prubin:
It seems to me that if all of the defective batteries were in Asia (as it appears from News), then we are dealing with both a different processor than the one employed in North America. Believe US has Snapdragon and rest of World Exynos. There is a difference, I have read, between the ability of the two processors to "regulate" voltage and prevent battery from overheating.

Secondly, we have A/C 120 current in the States - believe that Europe and Asia have D/C 220.

So, unless the defective batteries were found both in States and Euro/Asia, then perhaps it is the processor and/or the type of current that is exacerbating the problem(s).

Did you tried conecting your phone, while it's turned on (file transfer)? If not, then try that first, and if it's working, you need to check your drivers, if it doesn't work, then try different USB port, if thath doesn't help, than your phone is malfunctioning.
