Without considering the current state of facts. Imagining I am going to buy the Samsung note 7 in October. What I will do when in a couple of years as hard user the battery have to be replaced? I saw on youtube that is extremely hard to open it , and small fix shops could have some problems. How much it cost to ask Samsung to change it? And will the water resistant feature restored? I mean after all there is any guarantee for water damages. Thanks

I do not have any replacement program, if I spend 850 Euro, I would be glad to know how much cost a decent battery substitution

Then with the money I can make selling the unit, maybe I could consider the samsung 9( if touchwiz keep going to be)

Always implying that Sam will give me in Europe the phone the first decade of October. I am in pre-order since end of August:laugh::laugh::laugh:

You'll have to deal with Samsung Repair Centre in 2 years. They will change the battery ... if you put away 5 bucks every month, this should be enough for the service :)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
Customer Irreplaceable batteries are the direction most of the major flagship mobiles have headed.

This is not an isolated situation to Samsung.

As the mobile is water resistant such a mobile should only be repaired by Samsung officially recognised technicians. After a battery or other repair has been carried out an OFFICIAL authorised store will pressure test the device to ensure its continued water and dust resistance complies with the IP rating.

This will cost. That's one of the facts of life we accept when we make such a purchase.

At present technology can't produce what all customers want without compromise.

The majority of today's technology has built in obsolescence. Its the speed this technology is developing due to customer demands that causes such situations.

Ryland
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] trocchietto:
Fair enough. But how much?

OK is not nice, but you accept if you like Samsung.

But do I have the right, when I buy the device to know how much it will be? And even to know if this means I have to ship my telephone incurring in further cost, and not have the telephone in the time being.

nb. Imagine that sam employees are human beings and can make a mistake, as the telephone is not insured against water damage.. how can I prove that they did not do a proper work if when come back to me is not water resistant anymore?

Anyway at least i am grateful to samsung that give me the possibility to put an sd card afterall:)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Belimawr:
look at the cost of the S6/S7 it will probably be similar.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
Hi. I cant answer your question and further doubt anyone can. In two years who knows the cost of manual labour and parts?

Your second point is rather moot as when we make the initial purchase we are trusting Samsung that what they claim regarding the IP of their mobile is correct. Same trust would apply after an

official repair

had been made. There are no 100€ guarantees in life. :(

Out of interest why do you mention a specific two year period? Battery life will depend on user use and could, theoretically, be from 1 year (?) to.........who knows?

Indeed but the poster is asking about prices in two years time, sort of requesting a forecast that I don't think can be given today?

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] trocchietto:
Ryland thank you again for the interest. Well I calculated 400 cycles of 1,5 days, that make roughly 2 years.

I hope samsung will be smart enough to embrace an eink real time screen cover( they are NOT really smart in my opinion to not do it, they would make much more money, also if this means batteries will be substitute less, but in the end I am sure people will go also to cheap 3d parties that give guarantee of not exploding batteries, after all the water resistant thing is nice, but for years we survived without it, even because at the current state of facts, nobody can bring the samsung under the shower or having a bath, because the guarantee does not cover, so is for incidental problems the water resistance, exactly the same risk I buy the screen even if could shatter)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] hkr:
and it depends on how intesive you use your device. if you need to load it every second or third day, you'll have a nice battery in two years. If you need to charge it twice a day, you might really need to replace it ...
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Belimawr:
your working on needing a new battery in 2 years from charging less than once a day? I charged my S6 some days up to 3 times a day for about 18 months and the battery is still working fine.

the batteries are a lot more durable than a lot of people make out.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] joaodrp:
True. Specially if you keep them between 40% - 80%.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] trocchietto:
guys please I cannot understand this.

It is maybe undoubtedly true that charging more times the battery during the day at the condition that you maintain between 40 and 80% will last more than if I charge from 5 to 100% every two days?

Please shed some scientific light on that, specifically for samsung fast charging context

thanks

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
In the U.S., Samsung charges $45 for an out of warranty battery replacement for a S6. The battery is warranted to hold an 80% charge for a year and if it doesn't replacing it is free. Apple charges $75 for an iPhone battery replacement. So I'd imagine the 7-series phones are somewhere between $45-75.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kayohbe:
I've been searching around for a solution to fix my device with all of my attempts failing. I have a HTC One M7 from Telus (Newfoundland, Canada) which is about 3 years old. It's in great condition and has been well taken care of. I had been using CM 12.1 and TWRP right up until a few days ago. My intentions were to bring my phone back to factory settings without any root capabilities as the newest update for Pokémon Go requires you to have an un-rooted device. Obviously my efforts to go back to factory settings were in vain as now my phone is basically one step away from being bricked. I can load up the bootloader just fine and acheive fastboot without any problems although anything beyond there fails everytime (ie. enter recovery mode).

I'm able to do stuff with it using ADB tools via my pc so not all hope is lost just yet. Could anyone provide step by step instructions on how to get the phone back to an untampered state as well as links to the files i'll need to do so? I have yet to find any ROM's for a TELUS M7 as well as the default recovery tools. I keep seeing links to utilities which apparently are a basic one-click-fix though none of them have worked thusfar (my most recent one is called "RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_TELUS_WWE_4.19.661.8_R_Radio_4T.24.3218.09_10.26.1718.01L_release_351500_signed_2.exe" which seems to work right up until it gets to the HEADER portion where it doesn't move past 5%)

I've since bought a new phone which is an extreme pain to use as, in my opinion, it's a huge downgrade from what i've been using (LG-K121)

Any and all help is muchly appreciated [:=

I recognize this is my own mistake as a result of being short sighted and not careful enough with my actions. Also, i'm willing to take any amount of time necessary to learn whatever skills may be required to resolve this issue (how to utilize certain tools properly, specific programming languages etc.)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
When a phone is S-ON you can only flash a RUU that is same or newer version than your actual version. Unfortunately your version-main is blank (this is bug caused by an old twrp version) so we can't exactly know the version it was running. The 1.61 hboot version and CID/MID suggest a 7.17.661.?? version. The newest RUU version available is 7.17.661.7

Try to flash it (from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944)

Use instruction provided at post #1 of that thread to flash the RUU ****make sure to use the fastboot version provided in that thread***.

If your phone was running a newer bersion than that (i.e 7.17.661.52) the RUU won't flash and we'll have to try something else.

Btw did you already relocked your bootloader? If no make sure to reflash the stock recovery over twrp before re-locking.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kayohbe:
Alrighty, just to reiterate before I get into it, you suggested I choose the 7.17.661.7 version correct?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Yep try this version first and if it's not working we'll try something else. You'll have to relock your bootloader before flashing the ruu, male sure to flash the stock recovery (linked above) before relocking.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kayohbe:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kayohbe:
One final question - is there a default recovery on there now that everything is set up and running properly or will I need to dig up a factory recovery, achieve S-OFF & flash it on there?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
When flashing a RUU, the stock recovery is installed on the phone. The stock recovery is very limited, it can be used to install ota updates, clear cache and factory reset. If you want to make a backup of your whole phone you'll need to unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery (preferably TWRP).
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kayohbe:
My only issue with going back to custom ROM's (which I waaay prefer over stock as stock ROM's are super limited in so many ways) is I will be prevented from playing Pokémon Go as Niantic have recently disallowed such operating systems from running their app altogether. I don't care for using apps which would be considered 'cheating' or 'exploiting' but with a custom ROM i'd be completely forced to stop playing it no matter how I choose to do so (yes it's silly that i'm basing my decision around that one simple game which isn't even all that great as far as Pokémon games go but it's what I do to pass time during my work breaks 6 nights a week).

Until a fail-safe workaround is made for this tiny issue, i'm stuck with Official 5.0.2 (blek!) and Sense - at the very least I can use a custom Launcher but that's about all I can do.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
I played the game for 2-3 days at launch and it was easy to spoof a fake gps location to cheat. To do that I also had to hide the fact the I was using "mock location" from the developer options using an Xposed module or the game would detect it. I guess its also really easy to hide the fact the you are using a custom rom/root from pokémon go using the same method... Not tried but im sure it can be done.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kayohbe:
I assume it was easy prior to the current update - they've cracked down on 'spoof players' about a week or so ago

I live in eu, i bought my m8 from t-mobile , i unlocked, i flashed custom roms, but its s-on , after 24months , i asked t-mobile for a unlocking key , but everytime when i want to enter that key, wont work, says wrong password.

Its posible that my mid/cid are messing someting with unlocking code ? Anyone got experience with similar problem? Should i flash some europian t-mobile stock rom to get solved this problem or?

And by the way is there a diference between us t-mobile and eu stock roms or they are the same ?

Hi,

I'm trying to find info on how to access the motherboard and battery of the phone. After removing the back cover I can see two small phillips head screws, both of which I have removed, but I seem no closer to being able to pry the plastic covering off to access what's underneath. What am I missing? I can't see a teardown online anywhere so I'm struggling to proceed.

Any advice welcome!

The Note 7 has a large amount of devices catching fire/exploding (~90 in just the US alone) over a very short period of time, and they found a clear, traceable defect in batteries coming from one supplier.

Hi,

I have a n900w8 with some marshmallow rom (and some kernel I don't remember since I've already wiped all). I've downloaded a original stock rom from sammobile. Unfortunately, the latest version is a lollipop one, not a marshmallow one.

I've read that the bootloader cannot be downgraded after the 5.x. I think I have 5.x or higher bootloader. Are there any chance to install the custom rom? like this one(http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/67302/N900UBUEBOK1_N900UUBEBOK1_UPO)

Download the stock ROM for the sm-n900w8 from sammobile.com and flash it in Odin: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N900W8/

Flashing in Odin will wipe everything and you should do a factory wipe using stock recovery before booting the newly-flashed stock ROM for the first time.

Odin failed the first time because the ROM you tried to flash has a bootloader that is either not meant for your phone or the bootloader in the ROM is older than the bootloader in the phone. Look like you are flashing the n900 stock ROM, not the n900w8 ROM. You have a Canadian note 3? You can confirm the model # by booting into download mode.
