They are saying now that the updated phones won't have the patch installed. Not sure how they are going to differentiate that once the patch rolls out.

You won't lose a finger or two. Way to over dramatize it. ;)

If it's contacts shorting and heat truly has nothing to do with it, then patching it to stop at 60% isn't going to do anything.

That's like emptying a bit of powder out of a grenade. It still goes boom...
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Fishdj:
I have actually anticipated some firmware changes/no firmware support to these notes, but didnt see this coming so soon. What really ticks me off is how disorganize Samsung is...screwing international buyers...I really want to exchange mine with a "safe" one, but the amount of hoops I've jump through already have not made any progress.

I want to remove all at&t bloatware from the phone, but can't find a way to do it from the guides posted to the moto e 2015 subforums. I think I got swindled into a att go phone and I just want to be able to use it outside the us without having all those apps and att firmware included in the device.

Is there a way to do it? If so, which firmware should I be using?

Edit: I just realized I forgot to include the phone id. It's a x1527 (surnia?)

You have to unlock the bootloader. Someone in this topic said that they were able to BL unlock their Cricket model recently, so if that's true, it may extend to the AT&T model as well. Try it and see if it accepts it.

Thank you for your quick replies. Unfortunately, I am unable to unlock the phone as it is a at&t go phone and testing with motorola said it is not permitted by them.

Using this guide: http://xdaforums.com/moto-e-2015/general/guide-restore-moto-e-2015-stock-firmware-t3044936

In the second post it says that you can restore the stock firmware, but I just want to change it to a vanilla (no carrier) firmware and remove the bloatware. Is this impossible without unlocking the bootloader?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] zamzenos:
Saw the N7 for the first time in a CPW shop recently and I was surprised by how fragile it seems, the sort of thing you might keep in a little pouch for safekeeping. I've used a N4 for two years now. Take it everywhere with me, using Osmand GPS maps, the camera and pen most of all. Have it in an ordinary Labato fold-stand. By comparison, the N7 looks more like a pretty toy. Can't imagine it roughing it on land or sea.

I'm not against the N7. I ordered one mid-Aug but cancelled when delivery of non-Sim version was held back till end Sept. The bursting battery saga means I probably wouldn't get one until mid/late Oct. I know now that there are some dev restrictions that might not be overcome; I believe it is still impossible for apps to write to Sd cards with Marshmallow. The fact that the battery is locked away doesn't help either: pulling the batt is the best way out of a soft brick.

It's frustrating. Had looked forward to the N7 as a real practical advance on the N4, but I feel now that it was a vanity project that went badly wrong for Sammy. What's the point of a glass back, for goodness sake? Let's hope they have better sense when it comes to designing the N8.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
The glass back is hardly new to the Note 7. It's also on the S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+, Note 5, S7, and S7 Edge.

If anything it has become more desirable in my eyes since the iPhone 7 is such a lack luster update. Best looking smartphone available by a large margin.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] The Phone Company:
Ironically you sound like my brother from another mother. I had pre-ordered the Note 7 from CPW only to cancel and am waiting on the new stock. Current owner of a 2 year young Note 4.

Walked into CPW and picked up a display model of the Note 7 for the 1st time yesterday. She's a beaut! No scratches although there were some on the S7. (Off topic, but wasn't even aware of the S6 Edge Plus, a bigger phone!)

What really has me suspicious is this locked in battery. OK, the phone is waterproof,but the safest way in emergencies such as soft brick (bootloop, recovery hard freeze) is the ability to pull the battery out.

I am still eagerly awaiting the Note 7, but some of the rumors for next year's phones are mind blowing! S8 with bendable screen, 4k, etc, etc. And not being an iPhone user ever, but theirs is the 10th anniversary edition all glass casing. Maybe it is wise to be patient here...

That's the problem with these iconic CEO 's passing away. Their new replacements have a name to make for themselves and with their ego there's no holding back.

By the way, as a Graphic Designer, I grew up on Apple Mac, but no see through the glitz and glamour. I'd rather run an affordable machine on Linux that fork out (bi-)yearly for something that's constantly purposely holding back on features that are used to sell the next year's upgrade model.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] burraburiash:
Personally, I find the SGN7 more appealing than ever. I look forward to be able to buy the phone as soon as it arrives to Colombia. I managed to buy an international version in the US that I returned unopened and got a full refund.

I placed a Pre-order with Samsung Colombia in late August, but a week ago they called me saying that my order was cancelled. They said that they were going to ship my gift (gear fit 2) at no cost to me and it would arrive by September 19th. At least I got a free watch. Well actually we got two because I had ordered a phone for my wife too.

It's heartbreaking what is happening to such a beautiful phone. What a shame.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] hnrykw:
I've been using it for about a week and it's great. The only issue with the appearance is finger prints but I literally couldn't care. The edge screen makes the phone for me, now whenever I use another phone, it feels cramped and the bezels look huge. The screen hasn't scratched at all by the way, it's just as durable as any another phone...

Also you said "Can't imagine it roughing it on land or sea.", well no? A phone is a mini computer, not a ball. Yes, it's considered a little fragile but as long as you use the phone as a phone, it's fine.

So to answer your question, yes it still has it's glam + it feels great to have something that looks unique and a phone that people ask you about.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mocsab:
I had ordered a G935F from a large US Retailer - it was supposed to be released in September and then this whole Battery thing happened. Today, I got an email from the Retailer saying the order had been cancelled and the reason given was that the Note 7 had been discontinued.

I have a feeling that this is the final word - Samsung will be annoucing that the Note 7 is discontinued and anyone that has one will be encouarged to return it for an exchange or a refund. (or course they could try to simply replace the existing notes that are out there with a replacement that has a new battery, but I don't think they will want to risk the Liability. If anything happens with a new NOTE 7 released after the problems the first one had, it would put Samsung out of business. Their best bet (and what I think has happened based on the email I got today) is that the Note 7 will be killed off and we will have to wait for the NOTE 8 (which would probably - hopefully - be released simultaneously with the S8 next year.

of course this is mostly conjecture founded on the wording of the email I received from that Retailer - too bad, I had really wanted to get a Note 7
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Diaconescu_Tiberiu:
It would make no sense to put out Note 8 along with S8...the sales will just divide among those 2. The question here is not if Note 7 will sell (it already lost the battle), the question is who else, appart from Samsung fans, will buy S8 and/or Note 8. And yes maybe they should discontinue Note 7...but they won't...it would mean they admit defeat (this year). They could though do something for the fans (discount or..something). Lets just wait until first numbers coming from Apple hit the media...I am hoping their increase in number of phones sold is under 20%...I wouldn't be able to stand the grin on my friends owning crapples
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] zamzenos:
Yes, I noticed that the N7 is often described as a phone. It's not; it's a tablet/phone. I'm not a phone person (keep it short!) so the Note4 is for me an outdoor device (hence my question re N7's - a phablet - glass back). And a really good one at that.

mocsab: you might well be right. Goodness knows what that will do for Sammy's rep. It would be a huge let down for so many people.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] krabman:
I'm old, people my age don't consider phones glam, any phone. For me they're tools and the Note 7 is still the best tool on the shelf until the next thing comes. The price of course is supported by nothing more than the vanity of people who think some hardware in a glass/meta/ (insert alleged premium material) shell that they neither see nor touch in its cheap TPU case is somehow better than the exact same hardware wrapped in a plastic shell and then covered with a cheap TPU case. But whatever, being old I can afford the best, that would be the Note 7 in the phablet space. It was yesterday before batterygate, it will be tomorrow after batterygate. It appears right now it will remain so until the spring since the Nexus/Pixel looks to be a little weak this year.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] bishmaster5000:
I used my Note 7 for a couple weeks before it started running warm and stuttering. Up until that point it was nearly flawless, easily the best phone I've ever seen. I dropped it the first day (caseless of course) about 18" straight onto concrete and it didn't even get a scratch. I can't wait to get another one, as much as I liked my Note 4 I'm not particularly happy to be back on it. The 7 is just so much faster and more responsive.

I say nearly flawless because I don't like the non-removable battery. Also I'm not a huge fan of the edge screen, but the sharp angle they used really was an improvement on previous edge phones. I'd prefer if the bootloader wasn't locked, but my reasons for rooting and custom ROM's have really diminished as the phones get faster and more polished.
[Zooper Widget Templates] zuke24:
I started playing with Zooper Pro and after figuring out how to use it, I think I did ok. I am a Star Trek fan, but found that most LCARS themes were too busy and not actually usable. This is my first attempt at making my own home screen, so feedback is welcome.

I'm using Nova Launcher on a Galaxy S7. The calendar is Simple Calendar Widget and the weather is Eye In The Sky. The folders (orange icons in the lower center) are a mix of Zooper widgets pointing to folders created in Folder Organizer. The icon pack is Whitcons

Still to do:

-Skin the folders themselves to look like an LCARS window opening up.

-Skin the app drawer to match

-Figure out how to theme the lockscreen as well without breaking Samsung Pay.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears. I'll tweak some things and post here. If not, I can post zips.

I was doing reading and the new Pixel phones are supposed to have the SD 821 onboard.

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] bailfire:
Hey,

Recently broke my phone and bought a Find 7 as a replacement. Hate the OS so started searching for ROMS etc. Never flashed anything or rooted anything so everything I've done so far - I've just learned.

I basically want to get as close to android 6.0 marshmallow stock as possible. Which ROM is the best for this?

So basically, I've tried to flash CM13 (latest release) which I got directly from their website, all goes well however when the phone boots the screen is blank. Volume rockers work, capacitive buttons work and haptic feed back there but screen is blank. Not sure what the problem is.

ANY help at all is appreciated.

I have the Find 7 QHD version which I think is the 7S? (X9076)

Thanks all!
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Andrew111:
1) You have to flash CWM or Twrp recovery to your phone. I recommend TWRP 3.0.2. Download it for your OPPO Find 7.

Flash it. Can be done via ADB.

2) You need micro SD card formatted by the phone! Not necessary but recommended.

2) Then download needed ROM( I like crDroid : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3171600

but it's developer left it. So no further support planned) to SD card(on PC of course).

3) Put the card into the phone.

4) On the phone: go to recovery mode. Wipe data, system, cache.

5) Install ROM from the micro SD card.

That is all. Enjoy it.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] DroidSK:
You can also check out resurrection remix rom. Find the official thread in xda for find 7. As for your screen being blank it maybe because you have a new lcd panel which the official cm rom does not support. Try flashing omni rom instead. Last nightly is from aug 30. It is very stable and very close to stock android.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] DroidSK:
Also check this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=68662397

Looks like you can use rr rom wuth patch.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] bailfire:
Hey guys,

Many thanks for those tips (especially for the LCD patch - I'll have to try that).

So CM seems to be the best for Find7 at the moment but doesn't support unified storage? Does this mean I'll have this silly app storage limit? Anyway around it using CM?

As for the rest which is best (close to stock, stable, no bugs) -

RR

Omni

Nameless

Thanks
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] DroidSK:
Omni is close to stock and very stable. RR and possibly nameless are both cm based.

Used omni for a couple of months and now using rr for the last couple of days. I would choose rr because of all the additional features.

Both are great daily drivers. Both support lvm so you can unify your storage in coloros and then flash either rom.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] bailfire:
Hmmm,

CM thread has loads of additional things like installing some of the default apps like camera etc and how to get rid of all the bloatware.

I'll probably try nameless first since it seems to be the most popular next to CM. Its hard choosing one since theres so many! Out of Omni and RR which do you think is faster? What features does RR have that made you switch over to it?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] DemonDroid_97:
If you truly want a stock like experience without too many features and full stability in your software then I would recommend Omni for you.

RR and DU have a lot of extra features relating to various visual effects that can be tweaked to your liking which can make your software look pretty, if you are interested in that sort of thing.

Cm is also stock like experience with some bugs here and there, nothing too big.

Nameless is based on cm with a few extra features but personally that Rom gives me bad battery life. (can be different for you)

Exodus, Mokee and Crdroid are just better alternatives to CM regarding features.

Edit: There are Roms that provide you with the option of LVM and there are those which only support stock partition. (Lvm is a way to enhance storage capacity).

Cm and a few other Cm based Roms that do not support lvm can be used with the chinese partition instead which also increases storage. But that is a bit lengthy process and for someone new like you I would recommend you to stay with a Rom like Omni which does support LVM.

Hope all this helped somehow :)

Have you tried a full wipe before using Odin to flash a ROM? Including the data partition? Or tried booting to "download" instead of TWRP to use Odin?
