[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
It's still a rumour until there's an official announcement. Call centre staff usually haven't a clue what corporate strategy is going to be.

It's obvious Samsung are undecided about this, or else they would have formally announced it and they have not. Even the messages from Samsung are worded strangely. I don't have them to hand, but the Q&A says something like, "Can I carry on using my Note 7". The reply is, "You should power it off bla bla bla".

I don't know how many people have English as their first language on here, but those that do will understand that the response is somewhat odd.. The normal reply would be, "No. You should power it off..."

But the "No" is missing. The No is missing because they don't want to say, "Yes, you can, but we recommend you power it off". So they just miss the No out.

Simply, "You *should* power it off...". Also, notably not, "You *must* power it off:

Basically, it is a request and nothing more. Furthermore, if they were intending to destroy everyone's phone, then they would be announcing it in these messages. They would have said "No, you must power it off and in a few days/weeks we will be disabling your device". This announcement is consipicuously absent because they are not planning on doing it.

The purpose of these messages is so that Samsung cannot get sued for any major accidents. The purpose is not to get your phone back, which is worthless to them.

Now maybe at some time in the future, they may decide to destroy your phone, but that could open up another legal minefield, So right now, clearly they are undecided, or have decided not to do it.

I might add that the unmitigated b*llocks you read on these threads really knows no bounds. Post after post after post of absolute tripe.

I have no clue why I am even visiting.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Blairware:
We are actually a bit past the rumor stage.

I have no clue why your visiting either, especially if you are going to pop in and provide incorrect information, then what's the point? They DO say "NO" to the question (which you also misquoted, but had the basic gist of:

1. Is it okay for me to continue using my Galaxy Note7?

No. Because your safety is important to us, if you are currently using a Galaxy Note7,

please power down immediately

and participate in our U.S. Note7 Refund and Exchange Program. If you bought your Galaxy Note7 from Samsung.com, visit samsung.com/us. If you have any questions, you should contact us at 1-844-365-6197 and we can help you.

Not only do they say "NO" - it is NOT okay for you to continue using it, they say it emphatically and they have said it since the page went up. I know because that was the question I zeroed in on when it went up on

Tuesday, October 11, 2016 - a day that will live in idiocy.

So there's actually a bit of tripe in that post above mine, no offense but when you quote or deliver the perceived message of a source you should probably check it at it before posting. If you doubt the veracity of

my

statement, use the Internet Wayback Machine, which grabs and archives pages to save for research and whatnot. The first page they archived is from the 14th, and the wording is the same.

Where I will agree with you 100% is the ridiculous amount of misinformation floating around. There are more untruths and half-truths on this situation than we hear from presidential candidates. with the biggest one of all: The Note 7 does not "explode" It hasn't happened, period. Unless you consider the sizzle of a holiday sparkler to me hundreds of thousand of tiny,very tiny "explosions" But that word, it gets clicks and it is dramatic. You had the public envisioning a claymore mine that you hold up to your ear. Not that a burning Li-ion battery isn't a nasty event, with noxious smoke, and major burns to surfaces, and potential to ignite a secondary fire. C'mon folks. That's bad enough without people embellishing the event with the word "Explode, exploding, exploded" I figure the most likely way that someone could indeed be injured would be it happening when they are sleeping and they get a few lungfuls of burning chemicals. The next most likely outcome is it getting stuck in a pocket when a failure occurs and it starts

sizzling and popping

and fighting with it trying to get it out of a pocket next to your skin. These are the kind of events that are likely in the event of a failure. Substantial injuries and damage also quite possible, but not quite as likely.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
I'm not reading all that - far too tedious.

In the UK, they are not saying No.

"1. Is it OK for me to continue using my Galaxy Note7?

If you own a Galaxy Note7, please back up your data, switch it off and replace your device immediately."

Their notifications OTA have read similarly.

Smartass by name, smartass by nature.

Bye.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Rick GM:
Got a scare this morning with a "Not registered on network" message and phone not working. Swapped SIM to another phone same message. Phew.

EE confirmed the local tower was down but in conversation told me that they had shipped thousands of Note7's and that their recall was not compulsory, ie up to the individual.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Rado_vr6:
I did the same. My Pixel is arriving today and I'm quite excited. The N7 was an AMAZING device, but with small children in the house, I didn't want to risk it. I commend everyone that wants to keep there N7's, but with our federal government banning it, I'm fairly certain there are better options out there.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
Well there aren't.

There are less fire-risk options out there. But if you want a pen and water resistance and a 2k OLED screen and an IRIS scanner and a microsd slot, there are no "better options out there".
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Rado_vr6:
So what did people purchase before the advent of iris scanners and waterproof devices? You make it seem like the Note 7 is the only device out in the world. Seriously, how did you manage to get on before the Note 7 came to market? Are there other devices EXACTLY like the N7? Nope. Are there devices that do a good majority of what the N7 does? Yes. There ARE options. People used those options before the N7 launched.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
Rubbish.

You said "there are better options", not "there are options". Anyway, convince yourself all you like. I care not.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Tangkapan:
How much of a dumb ass must you be to see any dominance over the UK from this? This is directly from Samsung. Because if you still use this and something will happen, they are liable to the damage. No matter what you think. I am sure everybody who owns a note 7 would rather keep it. Me included. I recieved the edge 7 today, and it's a load of **** compared to the note 7. I just sent it back. There is no alternative to the note 7. Quality wise the iPhone 7plus. But that's it.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BinilPB32:
My phone is working fine while charging but if I disconnect the phone from the charger it immediately goes to bootloop.. But the battery level is 100%... I tried flashing the stock OS.. What should I do??
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BBLN:
I ported the Camera apk, use recovery/root to put the apk under /system/priv-app & remove HwCamera2 folder

The black and white mode won't show up. The FRD camera configuration server doesn't enables monochrome mode. I am working on modifying it, not sure if it will work or if it's even possible.

Some info:

hwcam/hwcam.ddt.so - this represents the vendor tags the phone is supporting. Built from arrays of (I think) name, tag, size, type, reserved(unknown/0).

HwCamCfgSvr daemon, I think it's using libHwCamCfgSvr.so and communicates through Binder to query the device capabilities.

hwcam.hi3650.m.FRD.so / hwcam.hi3650.m.EVA.so - this library responds to the query requests, and seems to be implemented for the device. FRD is honor, EVA is P9.

How it checks if the device has monochrome?

1. The cameramanger has the CameraCharacteristics interface. The camera apk checks for CameraCharacteristicsEx.HUAWEI_MONO_MODE_SUPPORTED. That's translated through the camera.hi3650.so to com.huawei.device.capabilities.monoModeSupported, monoModeSupported is checked against the CamCfgSvr, the hwcam.ddt.so translates that to 0x80000056. The hwcam.hi3650.m.FRD.so responds. P9 uses 0x80000056 and this tag seems to be initialized with the value 2.

WhiteBlackMode isAvailable code:

@Override
public boolean isAvailable(final SilentCameraCharacteristics silentCameraCharacteristics) {
final Byte b = silentCameraCharacteristics.get(CameraCharacteristicsEx.HUAWEI_MONO_MODE_SUPPORTED);
final byte[] array = silentCameraCharacteristics.get(CameraCharacteristicsEx.HUAWEI_AVAILABLE_DUAL_PRIMARY);
if (b != null && array != null) {
for (int length = array.length, i = 0; i < length; ++i) {
if (array[i] == b) {
return true;
}
}
}
return false;
}

HUAWEI_MONO_MODE_SUPPORTED value is checked against HUAWEI_AVAILABLE_DUAL_PRIMARY. I guess P9 uses 2, which is equals to DUAL, meaning the mode is supported on the dual lens only?

If anyone has some ideas, or wants more info, PM me.

The APK in the attachments.
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PalakMi:
Awesome, is it fully functional?!
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BBLN:
Besides monochrome being disabled, yes it is.
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PalakMi:

everything works fine except monochrome it seems
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dusikeee:
hm, it's only one thing that I want to do it for, but if it doesn't work, I haven't seen a reason to do it :(
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] strollaco:
Does the dual camera work? I mean, when you take a picture, it uses both cameras at same time to improve the photo?
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BBLN:
The APK itself isn't really aware of this, I believe. The only thing missing is making the "monochrome" capability on, as the sensor itself should support it.

I see two options, one is to modify the camera service to say it supports monochrome, and the other is to modify the APK to assume that monochrome is supported.

The second option should be easy using DexPatcher, but I didn't have time for this yet.

If anyone has DexPatcher installed and wants to help, I'll show you what to modify, that should be like one line of code.

Some instructions about installation:

Using root/recovery go to /system/priv-app, remove the HwCamera2 folder, push HwCamera2.apk to /system/priv-app/HwCamera2.apk

For uninstall, remove the apk, and use the folder instead. If no backup was made, use the full firmware update using original recovery to restore.
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PalakMi:
As of now, no
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mmeidl78:
Can really nobody bring us the monochrome-feature?
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PalakMi:
Its hard to do so, but, maybe someone can bring it in the future

Hi

I used to have a Zenfone 2 and the camera was the BEST camera I've ever had on any android device. The options are found in no other app.

Now I am using a Samsung Note 4 N910C (exynos 5433) with android 6.0.1

Can I port the PixelCamera to work on Samsung Note 4?

Has anyone tried this before?

this is the link to app:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] geor9iaboy:
According to this article Sammy decided to discontinue production of the Note 7. Therefore that should make the S7 top dog again right?.. At least until the S8 next year. What I'm saying is maybe we're going to end up with Nougat a bit sooner?.. Since Samsung only has 1 flagship to focus on at this point.. Any other thoughts out there?

This like everything else is a misunderstanding. They are NOT going to ditch the Iris scanning tech, the s-pen and the rest. They have to much invested in the pen and the apps that go along with it. It would be beyond stupid to do so. My best bet would be no more phone labeled Note since the name is so tainted. I would bet we see an S8, S8 Edge and S8 Pro next year with tons of 3rd party reports of verification before launch of any. I would also bet that the many, many other series of phones will go by the wayside so they can focus on them.

We'll see but I am very skeptical about them ditching the tech from the Note 7.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] rlb81:
Search isn't getting me an answer because all the results are about unlocking the bootloader. I'm likely selling the phone soon so I don't want to unlock, but I'd like to have root for the time being. Is there a path?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Nitefire77:
There is only temp root. It doesn't stick through reboots and after awhile becomes unstable.

Why would you be selling the phone soon? The turbo is still a very powerful phone and we will have nougat ROMs soon.

I don't plan on abandoning the turbo in the foreseeable future
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSt33v:
Ignore Nitefire. Kingroot = bad. Not only does it not work consistently, but when it does, it lasts anywhere between 5 minutes and 1 reset. It has also messed up many phones with locked bootloaders. Whatever you want root for, it's not worth using Kingroot, especially if you plan on selling the phone soon.

If you insist on trying it, make sure you know how to re-flash the system partition. The changes that Kingroot makes cannot be removed with a factory reset.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
Because unlocking the bootloader is the only way to REALLY root this phone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] rlb81:
Thanks for the info. I think nitefire qualified the statement enough, it becomes unstable. Not something I'm looking for. Also I'm not sure how useful temp root would be.

I need more storage, and I'd like a better camera.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
Not very. The phone is arguably worth more in a re-sale if bootloader is unlocked. Especially if sold on Swappa, which has a deal with XDA. You will already have done the hard work. ;)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] rlb81:
Exactly why I don't want to unlock it. It will sell with SU4TL-44, new buyer can unlock it or take the OTAs.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
Why don't you want to update to SUTL-49? I think you aren't up to speed on current state of this phone dev-wise. Sunshine works on SUTL-49. There's no reason to stay on SUTL-44, unless you just like old software.

And somewhere we're not communicating. It's worth MORE money unlocked to people who know. And SUTL-49 seems like the last update it will ever receive anyway.
