I have a "fixed" Note 7 and I understand I have to turn it in but I want to wait as long as I can. I know I seen on here a way to block OTA updates. Something about freezing system apps? I wan't to block any battery crippling updates Samsung puts out. I just want to wait to see if I can make it till S8 comes out.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] lawrence750:
It isn't fixed. Just send it back. Seriously.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] NIKKOTUASON:
Disabling these bottom four will end future updates.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] projectrs2:
Four? Or all 7?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] NIKKOTUASON:
You can do all seven but the bottom for is the main one you want to disable.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] HarlyFan:
I am on Verizon and do not have some of the ones that you are showing that are checked in Package Disabler Pro. Anyone on Verizon have these to disable future updates?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Fahrenheit85:
That's why I put fixed in quotation marks

[IMG="Updates"]http://i.imgur.com/qOP3DAs.jpg[/IMG]

This is what I disabled. Am I good to go?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] NIKKOTUASON:
Yes no more updates ever...
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] borisb:
I had all of those disabled at AT&T and many more (lessons learned from from the note 5) . Guess what, they pushed the update anyway in the middle of the night with no prompt that will let me cancel.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] sonhy:
also install a firewall just in case.

its far fetched to think samy could have their system apps pass on/tunnel your personal data via other innocent apps (im definitely sure google is doing it to ensure they gather as much data from us as possible). if I'm wrong, at least a firewall saves you on wireless 4g data charges :)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] NIKKOTUASON:
This is the only thing we can do if we want to keep the phone, if it goes through then it will force the keepers to switch if it doesn't we'll see how long we can last without updated/support.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] sonhy:
are you sure you disabled all update packages? damn that's scary to realised you don't actually own the phone you bought, your just leasing a product with the illusion of full control...
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] borisb:
Yes I did. Had the note 5 remember?

It was crazy scary, especially when the phone turned blue and AT&T logo popped out without a warning.

It was doing something for nearly 10-20 minutes with a bar on the bottom of the screen (so I knew it was doing something).

it was in recovery mode and did not have the running android logo (like updates usually do).

I was worried to turn it off cause I did not want my phone to be bricked. When it turned back on I got the message that I must return the phone (and it kept of popping every time I charged it).

So, I am 100% positive that AT&T, and Samsung can do what they want.

Also, yesterday before I returned the phone my line got suspended. But my line is a corporate line so the company just decided to force me to return it.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] sonhy:
damn, that's dodgy.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] evo4g63t:
Ridiculous people are doing this, why not turn the damn thing in seriously? Its not going to be supported by samsung or 3rd party developers.

Samsung will almost certainly release something just as good hardware wise if not better in the future.

I just can't figure out why some of you are so insistent on keeping an unsupported and dangerous phone.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] taz1458:
Here, ill give you my reason. I go upgrade to the s7 edge tonight. Now, when the new note or whatever it is with the stylus comes out, I cant upgrade yet. Whereas if I still had/have this, then I could with the note even year deal or whatever its called with Verizon. I guarantee im not the only one in this boat.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
Yet another policeman. How the **** do you know if there's anything wrong with his or not. This is getting REALLY tedious.

FWIW, having wiped my Note 7 and boxed it up, I've changed my mind. I am keeping it for a month or two to see what pans out, news of S8 availability, take a look at the Pixel etc.

There's no rush to get them swapped and I not could give a pico-sh1t about the "explosion" risk. Seriously when ZERO have had any issues in the UK. None, nil, nada. Why would anyone be so concerned. Sure there may be a small risk but let's keep this in perspective, please.

---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 PM ----------

And I can't figure out why people like you are so insistent on ramming your opinions down others' throats.

I will change mine in a month or two once theirs more alternative devices either available or announced. What's YOUR problem with what I do with MY phone?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] lawrence750:
No not at all, just not a complete moron who thinks he knows better than the multi billion dollar company (with people way way smarter than any of us) who would have done anything in their power to make sure that this didn't happen. You think they would have stopped production for something that's easily fixed? Come on, use your brain!

How do I know if there's anything wrong with his or not? I don't - nobody does - that's the problem... duh? No one can surely say that it will or won't blow up at any time, and you've got hundreds of these idiots going 'hmm, i know better than samsung, mines cool for now, therefore its always gonna be fine'

And thereby not only putting their own selfish ass at risk, but other people who they might be around at that time, god forbid it did explode/set on fire.

It's ridiculous. This whole thing should never have happened, but people insisting on keeping something that is known to randomly (until they can reproduce it, unless they already have and aren't disclosing it) set on fire, and that is just complete stupidity, and nothing else.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
Yawn. It was a no brainer for Samsung to discontinue it. They could be 100% confident they would have many more fires and other issues.

Any single user can be 99.99% confident they will not.

If you don't get that, I suggest you have a quick read up on probabilities 101.

[MENTION=7694589]Chippy_boy[/MENTION] dont waste your energy man, there will always be people who are just upset in general... they start the fire the moment they hear someone scream witch :p just continue to help like minded others and ignore their verbal traps, it'll eat them up inside every time they come back here... otherwise they wouldn't come back to troll about a phone they don't have :)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] lawrence750:
I do completely get that. But the point is, they still don't know what it is?

the last thing i ever do is troll, but when I came here just to read how the community is getting on with the problems, and i read this insanity about people wanting to keep it.. even if there were no fire risk, and someone managed to prove that with their handset, i still can't understand why you'd want a flagship phone that is now essentially unsupported, and that you'd be banned from using on flights etc - what I'm getting at, is that the software updates and support is part of the bigger picture with a phone like this, and without it, it's good hardware and all that, but the software makes it what it is, and we all know that the first firmwares are not that stable.. and custom roms will be non existent now too. it just makes literally no sense why anyone would want to keep it at this point, and I guess I was seeking to try and understand that mindset a bit more..

not forgetting the soon to be lack of accessories you can buy..

when I previously went from an HTC to a Samsung GS4 - one of the best things was the support, all the apps made for it, all the accessories made for it and so on. It makes the user experience a million times better. Yes, you can go without, but why would you want to?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] DeMi-GoD:
I'm keeping mine for a while strictly because I don't want to use my upgrade to downgrade to an inferior phone and yes everything else out there is interior to the note 7. I really don't have a choice but to keep it. If I "upgrade" to a S7e and in a couple months the s8 or a new note comes out I'll be pissed and there will be nothing I can do about it.

I however don't plan on keeping it for very long mainly because you can't fly with it. I'm sure you could get it on the plane and use it without anyone noticing but I have enough anxiety when I fly and I don't want to have to worry about someone recognizing it or it start smoking mid flight.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] lawrence750:
I completely get it. I bought an LG G4 last year. There were several issues, mainly that the touchscreen was dodgy as **** and didn't register touches properly unless you were charging it. Then the QI charging chip failed, then the bootloop issue etc etc.

I ended up having to swap for an S6 Edge Plus. I was kinda pissed to be honest, it had no removable battery, no SD card slot. I wasn't impressed one bit.

But looking back...

However, I still get that's different to your situation. Couldn't you get a refund for now until something better comes out? Or am I missing something?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] sonhy:
diversity dude. if you ever leave your secure compound and travel around the world, you'll find even crazier things people do, your mind will open up so much more, diff views and angles, science, maths and stuff with things.

did you know there are people who climb 500+ meter mountain walls without any rope or parachute? why the hell would anyone do that?!! maybe what's crazy for you is normal for others?

3.1415 million note 7s sold but only 831 phones confirmed explosions, that's exactly 1% failure rate, much less than other common products like car tyres and shotguns and passenger planes!

seriously though, you can't think of one reason why anyone would use an unsupported, non-flying phone? would it be completely impossible that a hill billy wanted to use the s pen to draw and document his toad and gator dissections? thus all he needs is root and a few xposed mods to the system and his good for years... plausible?

no accessories?! have you heard of fleabay? aliexpress? I know most sellers are millionaires and will ship it all first class to the great ocean garbage patch... but some just might reduce the prices to recover their expenses...
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
All of the above are valid points, which are fully understood by the majority, if not all people on here.

Shame you didn't take that line in your previous post. Instead you simply chose to call people morons and go on about explosions and other crap.

I'm perfectly content to keep mine for a few months. In fact the more I think about it, it's worked out rather well. I get to keep a simply marvellous, stunning phone for a few months and then change it for an S8 when that comes out. I guess I'll have to surrender my Note 7 before that in order to get the refund, so I may have to make use with an old phone for the 2 or 3 months in between. I can live with that.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] DeMi-GoD:
Lol well the problem is I don't have a backup phone so if I turn this phone in and get my $180 refunded what then? I already asked Verizon if I could get an s7e and use it temporary without using my upgrade and they said no.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
It's entirely up to you and how comfortable you are with tiny risk of a fire. If like me, you are going to be careful - like not charging the device unattended, not putting it under your pillow etc etc - and are comfortable with the small risk, then I would hang on to it as long as you can, but return it for a full refund before that offer expires.

If a suitable replacement is not available by then (and there's some interesting phones coming up) then you can always get a cheap phone off ebay for a few $ and then ebay that off again once you get your new S8 (or whatever you fancy in 2017).

ummmm i read this thread and i feel... i dont know

i have a s6 edge + ... sell it to buy the note 7 .... few days later i get that.. the note 7 explode... here in dominican republic no cases reported .... then i decide to buy a recalled device.... and now i have the 2 devices ..... now samsung dont want to replace it ... cause i dont have invoices.....

not all the people in the world ..have all the answers!!!

im a phone technician ... and i never ... read me never i see a phone exploding!...... if someone in this thread or page have the experience please share...... cause i been thinking... is something strange in thats cases .... first in the first recall ... when they announce it the ''explodes'' .. stop suddenly .... so maybe a phone catch fire .. but guys common really the word ''explode'' is huge ....then the second recall now is no more incidents!..... thats the strange ... i want to return it but samsung dont help if ... the megabrains of the forum have the answer please share.... and stop writting BS
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] svache:
Personally I have a feeling the so-called replacement phones that caught fire (i agree, "explosion" is a big word - but it sells better in the media), may have been mix ups, or perhaps a few with lesser quality parts. Every phone has some phones that causes issues, the Note 7 isn't alone in that. However, because of the earlier recall, the pressure from the media was far greater. The providers soon realized this too and decided to do damage control for themselves and decide to stop sell the Note 7 even before Samsung made any announcement on the matter. At this point, the only thing Samsung could do, to remain trustworthy to their customers (and their investors, let's not forget this very important aspect), is to do damage control themselves as well and simply end the entire Note 7 (and perhaps the Note line). In addition, the recall being official makes it so that they don't have to assume legal responsibility anymore if something happens after the recall announcement.

It may seem like a huge hit for Samsung, and sure, they will have a sucky last quarter of the year, but it would've been worse if they didn't do (what people believe to be) the right thing. I've read elsewhere that, in the end, the Note 7 is only good for about 1-2 percent of their total phone sales. So while it is a hit, they wont lose too much money in the end. Especially not now many people decide to go with the S7 or Edge with the 100 USD credit attached to it. They did what they needed to keep their customers, and in turn that keeps their investors happy.

In all honesty, I believe this to be the reason for them to have initiated the second recall, more so than that all of our phones are at fault. I can't be 100% sure, and for sure I am not going to risk it (especially not since my 7yo also uses our phones at times) but I do believe it's more of a media issue rather than device issue at this point.

still nope, but you can easily port from A500FU to A500M using the device tree uploaded, the kernel and the proprietary files, you only have to replace firmwares and other few things. But I want to create the universal A500xx version but i need someone who want to help me for the updater-script :)

It is pretty much what a finished version is expected in early?:confused:
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] DeadSquirrel01:
For porting on non A500FU, you have to clone cyanogemod sources. Then you have to clone 8 repos:

1) https://github.com/DeadSquirrel01/android_device_samsung_a5ultexx branch cm-14.0 which is good also for cm-14.1 (for now) that you move in device/samsung/a5ultexx

2) https://github.com/DeadSquirrel01/android_device_samsung_a5-common that you move in device/samsung/a5-common branch cm-14.0

3) https://github.com/DeadSquirrel01/android_kernel_samsung_msm8916 that you move in kernel/samsung/msm8916 branch cm-14.1

4) https://github.com/MSM8916-Samsung/android_proprietary_vendor samsung branch cm-13.0 here, you wil find lots of folders, move only a5ultexx and a5-common in vendor/samsung/a5ultexx and vendor/samsung/a5-common

Also thanks to the developer TheWhisp (I used his projects which i ported to cm14 ;))

5) https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_external_stlport, branch cm-14.1 (or 14.0 depends on which cm version you are building) that you move in external/stlport

6) https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_external_sony_boringssl-compat branch cm-14.0 or cm-14.1 that you move in external/sony/boringssl-compat

7) https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_qcom-common branch cm-14.0 or cm-14.1 that you move in device/samsung/qcom-common

8) https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_qcom_common branch cm-14.0 or cm-14.1 that you move in device/qcom/common

Then you have to add your device to this file: https://github.com/DeadSquirrel01/android_device_samsung_a5ultexx/blob/cm-14.0/init/init_a5lte.cpp

Finally you can replace modem files located here:

https://github.com/MSM8916-Samsung/...ee/cm-13.0/a5-common/proprietary/etc/firmware

and here:

https://github.com/MSM8916-Samsung/...cm-13.0/a5-common/proprietary/vendor/firmware

if they are different and i don't know since i don't know differences between A500 models

and add your modem symlinks, if other are needed here:

https://github.com/DeadSquirrel01/a...99571f66d1578f96c87dba06e582930410/Android.mk

You can also modify product names... in device/samsung/a5ultexx/.mk_files_and_vendorsetup

That's all

Obviusly for compilation you need what that you call "linux" when linux is only a kernel ^^ (SO, NO WINDOWS OR CYGWIN!) and some packages (you can find the list on internet)

if you need help regarding this you can contact me on #deadsquirrel01-dev channel of irc freenode :D without writing thousands of mails/PMs
