Still using it with no issues.

Samsung UAE told me yesterday in a live chat, that it is safe to use it if I don't experience any issues... ;)

Interesting, isn't it?

It is still the best phone I ever had...
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] theshaz:
Every day.

I will wait patiently for the replacements.

My free 256GB memory arrives tomorrow.

I do not plan on jumping ship, IMHO Sammy has acquitted themselves quite nicely. T mobile as well.

The media and fans of other manufacturers have let themselves go.

i am still using mine until t-mobile gets in the v20. then i will switch mine out. i only charge it during the day and luckily it doesn't really get hot during usage.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] TheVato:
I don't believe i can best the comment the guy that did the porn hub test which by the way is impressive and reassures me I have a great phone. Currently I'm charging it and temp is about 31.6 C. On one hand I want to replace it, on the other hand I'm afraid the replacements will be tuned different. I game heavily on this with a case on and it doesn't get any warmer than any of my other Android powered phones I've had. Im impressed with this phone. I'm curious on where everyone's phones are running temp wise and how yer using the phone. Thanks guys.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] shinew:
love mine! planning to keep using it unless I can replace another exynos variant.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ooMoo:
Still using mine though in the last few days its started showing some worrying trends with the battery just going from 40% 50% or 60% to 0% apart from that its running beautifully as others have said i hope the replacement runs as smooth.

I am now charging in a baking tray however just to be on the safe side and fast charge is off... i think first thing i will do is turn fast charge off on my replacement when i receive it as well. I cant see how it can be good for the battery in the long term.

What kind of issues did they warn you for? Cause in my mind I'm reading this like 'Well if it's not exploding then you can use it!' :')

Exchanged Note 7 for S7 Edge

Reluctantly, I went ahead and exchanged mine due to the flight restrictions (even if powered down) and potential for Sammy sniping the recalled devices based on IMEI's with a kill switch. Highly improbable but with the FCC now involved in the US, it's possible.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] antisouless:
Yeah love the phone. but fk it. Will just return it and use an international s7 edge or an iphone 7/7 plus. Definitely excited for the s8 tho. This phone is flawless. PErfection. I mean it's just the best phone i've ever had. I havent felt this way sisnce the note 4 honestly. The s7 edge of course was boss. But those edges were just a bit annoying. This phone got it right. 100%.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] sonhy:
without disabling the updates, you might be one of the first to get an over the air kill switch update.... make sure you have a scary scary story to tell the media :p

hopefully you'll get to backup your data before returning the phone to the fbi or cia or dea or nfs.

ive got the urgentFirewareUpdate packages and im sure they bypass the "do not auto update" settings.

I feel so depressed over this. This is the phone I have always wanted. I've never been totally satisfied with a phone before until now.

Nope. Not limited to 60% charging.

---------- Post added at 02:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 AM ----------

I'm in the same boat as you. lol. Even the color is exactly I wanted. Love everything about this phone and I really don't want to lose it. But I have a trip in a few months .... Otherwise I'd just keep it til the S8 or Note 8 comes out. :(
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] DeMi-GoD:
How are they going to tell you have a note 7? I mean is the tsa seriously checking and looking at every single phone? I feel like as long as you didn't whip out the s pen you should be fine.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] assass1n_02:
You have a point. Worst case is I skin the device and get a waterproof case that completely blocks off all the openings so they cant even see the s pen and if I really feel worried I'll bring my brother in law's box for S7 and tell them thats the box for the phone. LOL

On a side note. Someone just bought a Note 7 off craigslist and is live streaming a video of it waiting for it to explode. This can be either really good or really bad for us. HAHAHA.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Rado_vr6:
The human race is definitely doomed. Whether or not we feel the device is safe or not, why risk someone else's safety for the sake of "having" to have your device? Is it probable that it'll cause damage if your phone catches fire, possibly, but it's highly unlikely. Still, there's a chance. It's like having a beer or two and then driving. Will you harm someone else, probably not, but why take that chance?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mvtm:
That is f***** stupid. Please just return the phone. I've been an XDA member for years, and loved android and the N7 as much as you and thought the same things as you, that the phone was perfect etc, but it is not conceivable to have this sort of reasoning. This is irresponsible. More than a joy it will be become a hassle, not being able to take the phone with me on airplane is already making the point of sticking to this phone almost useless. TSA,CBP anyone can notice. And if they stop you, you can get fined and have done something ilegal. Not only that, the safety and respect for those around you is worth more than the self complacency of owning a Note 7.

This reasoning is not from an adult man. And i'm sorry. I never ever do this type of post on XDA or with anyone but it's just my personal opinion. I'm female in my 20's.. and even if i love it and got a Coral Blue i felt compelled to return it.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] br0adband:
You've never been through a TSA checkpoint, have you? Yes they check everything and with the increased awareness of the Note 7 issues and the fact that as of today (Friday Oct 14th) the F.A.A. dropped an alert banning the use of the Note 7 on all domestic aircraft in the U.S. means yes, they are absolutely checking every phone.

The Note 7 is kinda hard to miss, actually: the stylus obviously makes it very easy to spot even if it's inside the device, and of course the device says Galaxy Note7 on the back in pretty clear graphics. They could just turn it off and on again if necessary as the boot splash is pretty clear too.

You're reaching for reasons and solutions and you're failing.

It IS the right thing to do even if you and many others may feel differently.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Boy Bisaya:
I believe the topic is about who is still using their Note7. Maybe its time to create a separate topic about "Please return/replace/refund your Note7".

I respect people whoe are so concerned about my safety. How they insist that I have to return mine ASAP.

Probably I have to say this again. There are different Note7 users. There are posers and there are users. There are power users and developers and extreme modders. There are tinkers and tweakers and wreckers. The level of paranoia across these groups are simply not the same. A poser may die trying to convince a tinker to return the device. Its simply because they both dont share the same language.

theres heaps of note users and non note7 owners left to have meaningful conversations with.

just check their post history, full of repeated, copy and paste posts annoying others.

As much as I never had any problems with my original n7 or the replacement n7. Loved the 10hrs SOT I could get and loved everything about it. I wouldn't wanna put mine or my family's safety at risk by just keeping the phone and hoping nothing untoward happened. How any one else could also think about keeping a ticking time bomb is beyond me. It's only a phone I'll try the n8 next!

I assume you and they never make a journey for pleasure, or eat sweets/candy.

You're at far more risk travelling in cars, crossing the road, indulging in a suboptimal diet, etc.

And you're all getting exactly the right amount and type of exercise, right?

And I assume you don't own a load of additional devices containing lithium-ion batteries. In fact, if you love your family it might be safer just to go completely off grid.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] bdi:
Stil using mine. Batt never passes 37-38 on charging or using. Total recall is a hoax in my opinion. Samsung was forced to kill this phone due to ****ty s820 hot chip. Exynos is a great chip.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Boy Bisaya:
I completely agree with going off grid. We fear what we dont understand. No. Some people fear what they dont understand.

I respect those who are after for their safety and prefer to return their Note7. Again, we get it. We read news just like you do. In return, I would ask you to please respect those who choose to keep their device for a little more time instead of name calling them. If you want them to share with what you believe is the "right thing to do" then make it a bit appealing rather than intimidating because honestly, some are not intimidated at all.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] maanz "L":
Well said. :good:

Right, he's been trolling.

More than 1 million note 7 have not been returned according to Samsung.

And only 2 cases before the replacements and 1 fire case after the replacements.

So, out of these 3 cases, and the rest of the units are all fine, why do we need to hear him spammed on note 7 forums?

Because Samsung says so?

Is he a Samsung representative to XDA?

It's our device, legally by us.

We bought it and it's ours.

Samsung stopped the production and sent message to

the rest of the countries' phone companies

to be recalled,

not to us, ownerships

.

But it is only voluntarily if

we want to have it return

, not mandatory.

Nothing will happen if we don't return it or Samsung won't come to our doors knocking to return it.

Most of us here, Note 7 users have been using the device well and it's a good device and many wants to keep it.

No new cases from this forum reported since the replacements.

Like one of the members here brought up: Why the didn't the device explode or catches fire in shops, during worldwide release, during shipping/flights, etc?

Why not blame to users who used the wrong cheap cables except the original cable provided when charging, that may trigger the fire?

Why not say that there is an "inside job" in Samsung productions?

U will say: "Oh, the media didn't say that so there's no proof.."

And do we need to return it because of the media exaggerated?

Think about it, 3 problematic phones out of the millions......

Sometimes in the internet world, the medias have been creating and cover up stories for us to led to believe in, if u know what i mean......
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] DeMi-GoD:
Sleeping with note 7 strapped to head.. I love this device too much. I will not use my upgrade to downgrade. Device is too perfect. If it goes, so do I. I designed a special headband to hold the note 7 firmly against my forehead while I sleep so if it explodes we both leave together.

They don't explode they burst into flames. You would probably end up loosing half your hair and look like the Joker out of a Batman movie! I very much doubt it would kill you directly. Now if you where in bed and the bed caught fire it could be a case of "Frying tonight" then we would have a BBQ forum member.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] A-Alzayani:
On for now, probably until I am forced to return it.

Seeing the number of people who kept the note 7 on, I wonder if the reason why we don't hear battery catching fire stories as rapid as the first two weeks of release is because faulty unit will catch fire within few days of operation only, if this is true then most units that was powered on for more than 2 week are most likely safe*.

What ya gonna do with yours after u get the s8? Pretty sure deadline is at the end of the uear for all returns if u want an exchange.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] NFS855:
I went to two different T-Mobile stores yesterday looking to exchange for either a 64GB Note 5 or a silver S7E. The one didn't have any of the edge phones nor Note 5 while the other store had the Note 5 in 32GB and the S7E in gold. They both called other stores "in-market" for me and were not able to locate one either of the devices I was requesting. The employee at the store said to me what does it matter what color it is when you can just put a case on it? I bit my tongue as it wasn't her money that was being spent. Not only that, but on a device I didn't really want to switch to anyways. With that being said and after ironing out a small bluetooth issue, I've decided to hang onto my blue coral N7. I also will wait to see what the S8 brings, as will two of my friends that have the N7. If they brick them through an update, block the IMEI, or it melts down then it is what it is. Although I'd hate for any of three things to happen.. Until then, I'll continue to use my slow charge wireless Samsung puck and keep my clear fireproof case on it.
