[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BarryH_GEG:
People that bought or planned to buy a Note7 knew what was coming after it. The two Nexus/Pixels, the iPhone7, and the LG V20. If I was interested in any of those phones I wouldn't have bought the Note7 in the first place. There's always going to be a "next new" Chinese phone because they reproduce like gerbils. I'm not and most likely won't ever be interested in any of them either. So I'm staying with what I wanted in the first place and in three months this entire replacement ordeal will be yesterday's news. These things happen. American Airlines recovered from a negligent fatal crash that killed 281 people, Audi survived an unintentional acceleration scandal, and VW will get past diesel-gate. Samsung will survive this too. People have short memories.

I agree. Great book to read "Chinese Population Explosion" by We Fukem Yung
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dlang123:
It's not that I like the phone, just I feel like the resell value is going to be LOW in a year. Every year I sell my phone and buy a new one, although the urge is starting to die down a bit. The value of the old phone helps subsidize the new phone. Might not work next year. And the fact that there was a recall this year, like I said, I feel like its going to be touchy a bit, if they ban N7 on planes, how do they know that I have a good one? Not a bad one? No one is going to track that stuff by IMEI, it's too annoying. Not everyone is going to return theirs, so there will be N7Gen1's floating around which could be unsafe. Just seems like a whole issue. Also if they really are more scratchy, and breakable than the Note 5s, then that is something to think about too.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BarryH_GEG:
Everyone here has formed their opinions of what this event means by reading exactly the same information. My world view is significantly different than yours. Australian airlines

have

banned Note7's. Simple solution for me. I'll fly American the next time I need to go to Sydney depriving Qantas of an $8K ticket. Based on your post I hope you're returning your Note7. With all everyone here has going on in their life they don't need to fret over their mobile phone. As for me I'm keeping my Note7 without fret.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
These problems will go away once the risks are removed by recalls
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
Once replacements become common people will calm down. By end of October this mess will be resolved but by them many would have jumped ship.

Note 7 already is on no fly list for Australia.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kansatsusha:
^I saw that tooo... while i dont go places often I dont like hassle. The only reason I bought this phone without thorough research is because accessories and things mainly made for samsung and apple product as of late and sometime Nexus devices but if you go to a different brand you might have to search low and high for them.

Only research I did for the Note7 is will it run the stuff I throw at it and how much faster it is than a iPhone 5s. Now should I still consider the Note7 or wait....
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
Tried purchasing iPhone 7 website obviously going in overdrive. Message on website Please back later, I think iPhone 7 is going to break records and Samsung is helping them in a way.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dlang123:
Got in 2 orders for new phones @ Apple. They were late turning the store on. I will probably return mine, but I have no idea what I want to do. Wife says I'm an idiot if I keep a Note 7, because she thinks its going to be a sticky mess too, especially if it gets banned on Planes, just cause of resell value and perceptions.

Wish I hadn't sold my Note 5 so soon now.

Lol. Hope not but I would think apple would be far more organised then Sammy boys.

I'm probably going to return it if I feel it's not much of an upgrade from 6s plus.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dlang123:
Have 2 256Gbs ordered, delivery end of September. Might cancel one. The more I think about it, the less I think I want to deal with iOS. Problem is, I really don't trust my Note 7, it does seem to get really warm from time to time, but I literally have no other phone to use. So I need something right now. Bestbuy Order, so from what I read, no loaners.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
What concerns you regarding iOS? as far as reliability goes it's more smoother lighter and elegant then touchwiz.

Touchwiz has plenty of bloatware granted far less then before but it feels slow and clunky ulin comparison.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dlang123:
Eh its just some of the hardware too. I have an iPad and the wife lives on an iPhone, so I am not unfamiliar with it at all. I like wireless charging, fast charging, notification light. I also like not being locked into specific apps for things. And I like Google Maps ;) Yeah I know its on iOS too, but voice integration isn't yet. With iOS 10 opening some of SIRI up, I might survive. Or survive at least long enough to get the next new hotness. Also Apple Music.. boo. I have a bunch of ChromeCast Audios around the house. I typically fall more in line with Android, but the only phone I even remotely want are the Note series, and my 5 was getting horrible battery life, and sold it. And the 7, I just don't want to worry about the possible hassle that is coming.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
Yes fair enough I can relate to the first three issues. They are pretty cool features which I kind miss on iPhone too. My dislike for TW kind of really puts me off, it always seems rushed and underdeveloped.

It's a tuff call but after reading your post I think you mightbe Better off with note 7 or another top end Android phone. Perhaps wait for google phone which is out next month.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dlang123:
Yeah hoping to return my recalled Note 7 this weekend. So no Note for me until the 8, unless they release maybe a Note 7 Plus or something, or the price drops drastically. I really think the recall is just going to be kinda sticky. I'll probably buy some Android device in the next 6 months. Just going to try an iPhone for myself since it has been years since I had one. Whole family but me has them, so it might make life easier.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
I'm currently switching between iPhone 6s plus and HTC 10. My favourite is HTC 10 because it ticks most boxes but I have one major issue screen is far too small 5.2". It's a shame HTC did that.

I really like the notification light, software far better the Samsung's, prefer LCD screen over amoled as it feels more premium. In black it looks fantastic, design excellent.

I have feeling htc google are going to pull my almost ideal phone with just one thing missing sd card.

Currently I'm awaiting moto z to be delivered see how that takes my fancy.

If youre problem is tw you maibe hear of nova or google lawncher?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
Yeah thanks but still ugly tw is everywhere settings menu, messages, notifications centre etc. Nova etc are just a mask and not good one either. Can't get away from it.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dlang123:

Wow iPhone 7 plus tarriffs are expensive. Now I know why I hated apple, they rip you off like none other.

Definetly not worth the price tag.

You never know I might come back to Android.?????

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] The Phone Company:
I was actually asked by Admin to post this here due to a separate thread I created getting closed, so here is what I said, Quote:

'Potential SERIOUS situation with Battery built-in (Unremoveable)'

"Another thread regarding a locked up phone (making loud noises, etc) brings to mind another SERIOUS problem I have just remembered, a situation I have experienced already...

How many of us have had "problems" with our Phones in the past where they have Locked Up and wouldn't shut down even with the Power Button (holding down for multiple seconds even) where the ONLY option was to remove the Battery?? I have certainly experienced this scenario a few times over the years with my Note 4 and 2 and S2.

So. Say this happens to us, even with electrical appliances, machinery can always "crash"/hard freeze/blue screen of death, etc. Computers are notorious for this.

So now what, with an unremoveable Battery, that seems most likely one of the most stupidest/unsafest (potentially dangerous/hazardous) designs that have literally been forced upon us.

(And conspiracy theorists have always said "they" can always listen in to your phone/track you, etc, even when it's turned off, the only way to make sure you are FREE from this is to remove the Battery.

Hmmm. Think people. Think!"
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] koppee1:
i was actually considering the LG V20 or the HTC 10 when I returned my Note 7. I'm coming from a Note 4...and I rarely used the stylus really...

However...just yesterday, I got an image with viber and I needed to correct something on it. It was really easy to just pull out the pen, start writing on the image and send it back. I don't think I could do that with another phone...so....I think I'll stick with the Note 7.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
Very interesting points, something to really consider. Maybe removable battery is a good thing.

Exploding batteries is quite rare but you're right the potential is always there.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
I really have no use for s pen other then the odd rare occasion. However I can see its usefulness for many. I'm getting rid of my htc 10 screen is just too small.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Diaconescu_Tiberiu:
"LCD feels more premium than OLED".... lol... just... lol. Also using retina (designed for 3.7" screen) on a 5.7" screen... again... lol. Iphone7 and plus are just iPhones 4 oversized (I'm not talking only about screen). People tend to look at other HW comparisons between phones.. when the fact is 98% of the time you interact with your screen. So if you think an outdated 720p screen is worth it over a state of the art oled 2k from Samsung (years ahead from any other manufacturer)... than go buy icrap. For me it's the same thing with the all glass design... i didn't (and still don't) give a c.rap about all glass, all shiity aluminum unibody... i was just fine with plastic on the back... as i DONT interact with the back.... i just don't stay all day starting at the back... thow a flipcase and ask me in a year what material is used for my back.. and I'll tell you who the f knows. Plastic back = removable battery = perfect phone. As a power user i need to be able to exchange my battery every 6 month.... and no i don't want to pay 99$ for Apple Care so i could exchange for a "new" (cough.. bs... refurbished... cough) phone (also putting myself to the back, resetting process)
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
It's odd lg manage to have removable battery with a premium looking, feel and aluminium finish. Whereas sammy boys have always made excuses for cheap looking plastic finish due to removal battery, to suggest there is no other way. Lol It's peculiar habit but common fan boy justification. So plastic = cheap nasty look.

LG well done for thinking outside of the box and showing others cough Samsung how it's done.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
I just don't see any other phone in the same league as the Note 7 this year. I have the 6p,have used the HTC 10, S7 Edge and OP3 but the Note 7 is on another level. I'm watching the Pixel XL but I find the advantages of owning a Nexus /Pixel have really diminished now with so many apps not allowing root and the actually hardware lacking,it doesn't look very appealing.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
Note 7 ticks all the boxes for me except the ui and crappy speakers.

If that could be fixed something less cartoonish and heavy. Perhaps bit more flat look similar to HTC sense or iOS. Keep TW functions features just the look needs to be completely changed.

Speakers - ---come on Samsung 700 should give you half decent speakers.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Diaconescu_Tiberiu:
I think you're an Apple fan... and just try to look cool here on Android forum. It maybe cheap looking for you using plastic.. it isn't for me (Note 4, metal frame, plastic back). While I go and spend 2$ to replace my back... if i need... which 8 don't... you go exchange entire phone because old cr.ap aluminum or glass just scratched... or worse. A scratched phone in little under 24h is not premium... it's plain stupid.. and taking advantage on the stupidity of buyers.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
I'm Im big android fan but my loyalty isn't with anyone. Whoever ticks the boxes for me gets my money wether it's apple or android.

However I'm not a fan of plastic looking crap and Samsung seemed to have listened to me rather then yourself, even they realised plastic isn't premium. They even sacked and reshuffled people about. As for you're scratches comments lol 24hrs clearly you've not used a non plastic phone.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] alltaken123:
This is a prime example of reading about the device and not using. Most devices do not scratch in under 24 hours. The Note 7 to many reviewers and users is the most 'premium' of smartphones and has a certain degree of class above plastic chassis devices.

I'm torn between the Note 7 or something else, can't swallow the iPhone pricing this year.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Diaconescu_Tiberiu:
There are thousands of topics and articles and video reviews ever since iPhone 4/Note 5...with scratches on the back. Don't kid yourself Samsung didn't listen to you... it just looked at Apple's sales numbers... if they sell it must be good. If IPhone checks any of your boxes.. than your boxes must be broken :)... its almost impossible to find anything. Samsung fans should realize fast that Samsung is not listening to them it will blindly copy Apple in every aspect (this comes from a hardcore Samsung fan) because their recipes work. They lost this battle in 2009-2013 offering different things... things people wanted... but didn't buy enough: removable batteries (people didn't buy batteries from Samsung), plastic back (people were buying cases from other manufacturers), IR blaster (nothing to buy here anyways), SD cards (again people were not buying Samsung cards... they put it back because their margins of profit are too low on high storage models and people don't buy them). Everything Samsung does is driven by Apple's numbers... it is sad... its ashame... but its the truth. I suggest you take this topic to an Apple forum, you might find more sympathetic ears there.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
Well said.

I agree iPhone pricing is absurd this year it's the only company which pushes the boundaries every year as far as pricing is concerned. If this year Apple have another huge successful launch, early inductions seem to suggest as such, they will hit the 1k price barrier next year. It's insane man.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] alltaken123:
I'm chucking skips full of salt with most of what you said but I'm happy to discuss a range of devices here. I'm not limited by phrases like 'hardcore samsung fan' or being broken because certain features are things I like. I'm now done with your input to the thread.

[MENTION=994735]riz157[/MENTION]

What real alternative is there to the Note 7? I like yourself have limited use for the S Pen and if I could wait a few months i'd jump for an S8. I think Samsung will be desperate to put the Note 7 behind them ASAP no matter how well they handle the replacement process.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
Depends what you use your phone for? If it's for business use or socialising Fb snapchat etc. Taking pics, do you enjoy customising ui flashing roms
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
Apples pricing plan is insulting but i guess there's enough people who will pay it.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] statikk1:
It simply puzzles me how easily people seem to jump from an Android to iOS phone. It's one thing to go from a Nexus, LG HTC to another branded Android phone but to say that this new iOS phone is too tempting and switch like that...
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
They all do much the same thing at the end of the day. If you're not a power user apart from the look, you wouldn't notice much difference.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
What they do and what we can do with them are 2 diff things.

If your not into development and are okay with the sickening screen to body ratio of the iPhone plus then i guess same diff.

If your into development (and if your not why are you even here?) Then there is obviously many reasons not to go apple.

sent from my Note 7 or S6
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
I was talking about 95% of the phone buying public who aren't into development and look at a phone as a method of communication and surfing the net/taking selfies.

I'm returning mine and getting a mid-range phone to hold me over for a few months and save money. Maybe a used Nexus to use on Project Fi. I will miss the Note7's camera though.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dlang123:
My Nexus 5X from Project FI should be here this week. Also I ordered one of the Moto G from Amazon for 179. Just trying to make it a few weeks without something blowing up in my hand lol.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
I've received my moto z today, extremely thin. Camera pretty decent not as good as note 7 but good enough.

Battery seems to last whole day heavy use.

Fast charging excellent.

Ticks all boxes shame it has no notification light.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
I've been thinking about the Moto Z. Just not sure it's anywhere near as good as the N7.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
Well it's lag free and close to stock android. Pretty clean no frills but it's smooth and stutter free.

Low light pics are decent.

I like it just miss the notification light but then again I'm used to not having on iPhone. If there's anything in particular you would like to know let me know.

The free back mod just fixes on as easy you like.

Pretty cool
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
Is it better the note 7 probably not but then it's 200 cheaper. It's different but I do love the thinness of the phone.

It doesn't get warm, 128gb sd card works perfectly no issues at all.

I'm not a gamer so not sure how it fares on heavy gaming. Would I recommend it, at that price tag compared to other top end phones yes.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rodnii:
How long did it take for you to get shipping confirmation on your Nexus 5X after placing your order?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
Looks like vast majority of the guys who got screwed with note 7 are willing to wait for replacement. Interesting.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Im in no hurry....mine is working just fine.

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 PM ----------

I bet is closer than we think....way lighter OS and same 820 chipset.

Camera no way, screen i would like better since its flat but no spen sucks a little.

Moto devcies are notoriously fast...even the low rent ones like the G devices....

And as a bonus it wont explode....a quality od never really thought about having in a device :D

Another one to keep an eye on is the asus zenfone 3 deluxe

Ever since I turned off fast charging I have had no problems with the note 7. Still regularly use it with non branded plugs and cables even. Although I'm sure if I had not unplugged that one time I charged, and it got extremely hot , during the first day or two, it would have caught fire. I was surprised a phone could get that hot! I turned off fast charging and didn't happen again. I even leave it charging over night...actually every night since then.

It's nothing to do with fast charging or heat, it's a manufacturing fault in the battery where the anode touches the cathode. You're phone could be super cool then the minute they touch it would heat up very, very quickly. You've no way of telling by the heat on the phone whether you have an affected device or not!

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] alltaken123:
I had an issue with my PC a few days ago, in that Windows 10 would not start. I had no other PC available for downloading Windows 10 to a USB stick for recovery of the startup.

I used my note 7, downloaded Windows 10 as an ISO, extracted the ISO using one of the apps from the play store, moved it to the USB 3 stick attached to the Note 7 and presto! It worked, fixed my PC problem.

Now I'm not saying that happens all the time but damn it was useful and was enough to make me stick with it, iPhones always leave me wanting more after a while and I end up back on android.
