[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmsmith2032:
My wife and I both have Samsung Galaxy S5 16 GB which are pretty useless at this point. When we originally purchased them we add 32 GB external cards which worked great. Since then many apps will now not allow us to download them to the external card causing issues with speed and overall storage. Is there a way to improve our current Samsung Galaxy S5s? For instance is there a way to delete all the bloatware off of them creating more storage space? Right now I can't even add any new apps because of lack of space (and I don't have games on it).

I did some more investigation and after moving some apps to my SD card I currently am using 12.90 of 16 GB of storage. Besides 5.46 GB of system memory (which I'm assuming can't be decreased), my apps are using 6.75 GB of internal data. U used Datasize explorer and here are a list of my biggest culprits:

Samsung text-to-speech engine 386.54 MB

Dialer Storage 339.50 MB

Google Play services 276.86 MB

Contact Storage 245.79 MB

Google App 243.66 MB

.thumbdata--1967290299 225.44 MB

.thumbdata--1763508120 224.77 MB

main.185.com.sixtostart.zombiesrunclient.obb 205.90 MB

Amazon Kindle 180.46 MB

Message+ 168.07 MB

Maps 166.50 MB

Google Play Music 123.70 MB

Amazon 118.31 MB

My Verizon 113.48 MB

Email 107.21 MB

Evernote 104.44 MB

Chrome 102.22 MB

Thanks!

Root using cf auto root

Then download a system app remover app from Google play and delete all the bloatware you want

Also to improve performance turn off animations in developer options
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] DSC05:
Does anyone know if it's normal that always 6 kernel are online? Even when I do nothing (except watching the screen).

I wonder if it was always like this or if it's a reason for the bad battery compared to the first firmware in March?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MrDusan:
Yes, it's normal for exynos.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] LiNe1771:
It's normal, he works like that. 6 on and the other two only on when necessary. And no, doesn't drain battery, the work queue are optimized for nice idle sleep.

If you look at the box in the picture it's not a V2 replacement it's a V1. All the replacement note 7 boxes I have seen have V2 in the model number. This one just shows a Black Square.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mgymnop:
Not true. Mine has no V2 on the box and just the black square. Still have a green battery icon.

If there is another recall, i will move to another brand....till next year. This has been a nightmare.

Or maybe the S7

Really hope Google offered the Pixel through all carriers instead of its website except for Verizon
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Chr0nicDreamz:
I concur, I am so done at this point. T-Mobile does not make it any better.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] VICosPhi:
I just bought an S7 edge (Exynos), I was going to go with Note7 but just wasn't sure if it was a good idea to have a phone with no warranty with first recall...seems my concern was valid.

Note7 is such a great phone but with Gorilla glass issues and battery issues, it is just ruining the reputation of Note line and Samsung. Manufacturers need to stop obsessing with thinness of a phone which causes these batteries packed with thin walls causing the sparks.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] ingenious247:
Evidently the CPSC is investigating this.. not good if it's really a replacement device..
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] RaymondPJR:
Yep, it certainly looks bad!
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] `SBR`:
Mine has v2 in the box, though I'm in tmobile...

But if the Battery issue remains have to switch it to v20 or axon 7
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Djapatos:
I would rather go back to note 5 than V20. Dont really like the design
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] andrewNY:
Weird. I'm on T-mobile but no V2 on the box. IMEI shows good on Samsung's site and I have the green battery icon.

In the article they state that they ran the device information through the Samsung site and it checked out good

Kind of hard if the phone is damaged. The point is why lie?

I get it people like the device but lets not be naive. Might not be anything but if it was something wouldn't you rather know as much as possible going in if the problem turns out to be systemic.

People hate the truth. That's why sometimes I skip certain threads that talk about phone issues, because my phone will be totally fine then bam it gets whatever I've been reading about. Lol. I have the IPhone 7 Plus, previously the Note 7 and think my phone pretty flawless than I heard about the whole IPhone buzzing thing now I've been pressing it against my ear every so often. Lol. Still haven't heard anything but now I'm paranoid.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] C_LosEvo:
I honestly feel Samsung cut corners on the replacement units which is the reason why some boxes reflect "V2" (The actual replaced units) and some don't (the units they didn't replace but think are fine).
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Apparently SPRINT is letting users trade in their Note 7s if they don't feel safe.

I hope tmo doesn't do this. Only because they will screw it up royally.

Anyone else experiencing this outage

Edit, I meant Sprint, not ATT sorry.

You can only imagine that they knew which batteries were good and which were bad. Well thought they knew.

Otherwise the website to check would be useless.

Sprint just officially started a v2 exchange policy to get ahead of any second recall.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] sonofskywalker3:
I think the whole thing is a scam. Dude traded it in for an iphone? It's apple marketing, plain and simple
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mhill1986:
Right now, this appears to be just a rumor. Sprint hasn't made any public statement, and none of their reps seem to know about it (though the latter is hardly a surprise).
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pete4k:
If there is second recall, I don't care, come to think of it, people actually pay good money to have new phone every few months (jump for example) and I may have new phone for free twice in a row? To tell the truth, my V2 never run hot yet, not when fast charging, not when under load (V1 was getting pretty hot during fast charge also was hot under load) and 1 incident doesn't mean there is a wide spread defect even if that incident couldn't happen at worse place (didn't new iphone catch the fire just few days ago?). In other news Samsung reported profit is higher than expected, so if anybody can handle this crisis, it is Samsung.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Killemalll:
I really like my N7, never had an issue with it, but this battery FUBAR scenario is driving away not only customers, but also developers and companies producing accessories (i.e. just received an email notification that RhinoShield won't support the N7 anymore). The FAA ban is a huge deterrent as well. I don't want another phone but I don't want to end up with a castaway crippled phone either. What an epic Samsung management failure. FIre them all, starting from that idiot that decided to make the battery not removable.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Djapatos:
I am only getting rid of my note 7 only if there is another global recall.

Other than that i dont have the urge of trying any other phones.

And if they do recall it, i will have to settle with the Pixel XL. Then again with tmobile not offering Pixel directly, i m not sure how my jump would even work if i were to get it directly from google.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mgbotoe:
Your jump will not work if you do not get it directly with tmobile...you will either keep the phone or jump to a cheaPPPPPERRRR phone that wont put a ding in your pocket and buy the pixel.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Djapatos:
Lol i know a friend who did that like 2 years ago, i "jumped" from a note 3 to a cheap basic Alcatel phone and cancel after a month so he could switch to AT&T.

Are they still letting people jump to such cheaper phones? That's a serious loophole.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] zainqaiser:
There is even a bigger loophole. Call CS and do an upgrade via jump. Once u return ur old phone back to tmo. Return the new one under buyers remorse period. In the end u wont be paying for any phone. I did this twice and it works like a charm. :)
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] MasterKaiser:
If a 2nd recall happens, the V20 will be my daily driver for sure...
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] TechBSwift:
I want that phone too, but not for $850
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mgbotoe:
Dont you pay for restocking fee?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] zainqaiser:
No because if order through phone (CS), then u wont have to pay restocking fee, u only pay restocking fee when u buy in store.

IF there is a second recall, I'm gonna try the ASUS Zenfone 3 Deluxe Special Edition ZS570KL 5.7. Sounds GREAT on paper. I'll miss my S-Pen but hopefully all this will be ironed out with the Note 8.

There is no restocking fee or remorse period anymore. T-Mobile is allowing you to take the phone back for a full refund or even get another device.

Curious.... after reading the comments about people having v2 and no v2 on their boxes. I looked at my replacement box, date 9/3, but no v2 listed. This label was placed over the original box label. Got a heat gun and warmed the label, peeled it off and the original box label date is 8/30 with no black square. Same info on both labels just square and dates differ. I'm on T-Mobile and sure the phones went back thru a QA process.

I wanted to know for the people that have V2 on their boxes, what is the date listed on your label if you dont mind. Thanks
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] toastido:
My v2 says 9/9/2016.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
You might be able to talk them into it if you call and explain the situation. If it becomes another recall then the answer becomes a definite yes.

---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:44 PM ----------

My first v2 didn't say it on the box, the second one did but both have the black block that my pre order phone didn't

Ultimately what does it matter how they labelled the box when the fix is a different battery?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] DeMi-GoD:
But I thought they already said they'd let people exchange for any device? Does that only count if you've bought the device out right?

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Darriousx:
I'd love to try out a V20, but honestly, idk. I really do love the Note 7 and my main reason for wanting to keep this or get an S7 Edge would be because I'm banking on seeing Android N as an update within a month or two but that's not worth it.

However, besides getting the v20, my next option would be to return my Note 7 and then get the Pixel XL (probably finance) but I really want to stay on JOD. If I return my Note 7 to I HAVE to sign up for another phone in order to keep JOD? I know they're no longer offering it except for people who already have it so it makes me worried I'd lose it.

Same here since it's starting to look like another recall it's on the way. I probably jump to the V20 depending on how much is it a month or back to the iPhone SE. With the $50 discount the payments are below $20.

Perhaps...at the same time, it seems that every consumer reporting an incident is getting called a liar by somebody on XDA. If they aren't angry after the incident (southwest guy), his smiles are suspicious. If they are angry and pursuing action (KY guy), his story/anger seems trumped up.

Consider the source. If this doesn't end up on a major news site with actual credit being given to the situation, I would question it's legitimacy. But who knows. Personally, I think there's a lot of attempted cash grabs going on, and will continue to, for awhile. Also if you think monster companies don't resort to sabotaging their rivals you're living in denial.

Could be as bad as the collective media is insinuating (though the majority comes from sources with probable agendas) however for now, I'm not worried.
