[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] pinetreehater:
How in the Holy Hellz is Samsung getting a free pass on the Note 7 debacle?? I even see mainstream Android pundits saying they did about the best they could. That's horseradish. Does anyone else notice how this is being kind of swept under the rug...and quickly too, so they can move on to the Next Big Thing???

Samsung is only offering 100 dollars to people who buy another Samsung phone. The only Samsung phone that is even remotely close to the Note 7 is the S7. So Samsung is trying to entice its customers to buy a phone that is about to iterate in 2-3 months.

What of customers that traded their phones? Many did so comfortable in the knowledge they had a new, functioning phone. Now they have nothing if they choose a straight up refund. Nobody can really "refund the transaction," because to truly redo the transaction they would need the traded phone back...(I was okay with giving up my Note-4 for 40 dollars as long as it was going toward a brand new Note 7. I am not okay with just giving up my phone for 40 bucks and now having nothing but crappy choices).

At best, users came in looking for an upgrade, only to loose everything. Many had to go back to their original phones (if they still have them), and eat the costs of any accessories over 25 dollars.

At a minimum, Samsung should give users a substantial credit toward the next new Samsung phone that is coming very soon.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] English_Gentleman:
You're lucky. Here in the UK we've been offered sweet FA.

Well not strictly true, we've been offered a S7 or S7 Edge and a refund on the difference or a chance to cancel the contract free of charge.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] millicent:
Can't really complain. Already got full refund. Also got 2 gear fit2 out of this. They said they'd refund note7 specific accessories, too.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] br0adband:
It's going to cost Samsung $30-50 billion dollars - that's BILLION WITH A B - before all this is finally resolved. It will probably hurt them drastically for the next 12 to 18 months so, no, they're not getting a free pass over this.

They're paying for it, substantially.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] guthrien:
I really don't care what it's costing them, as a consumer who feels pretty burned (sorry) I don't see why I should. They wasted a lot of our time and in some cases money for a product they apparently didn't test enough.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] br0adband:
There's no reward without risk - in today's world, everything is a risk, absolute consumer safety is 100% impossible and they do the best they can given the situation at hand. iPhones have caught on fire and exploded also, lest people keep forgetting that. Other brands and manufacturers have had issues with their products of various kinds as well.

You can't test for the random events that happen, the world is just too damned complex for that and small compact incredibly complicated electronics technology just takes that to levels magnitudes greater further making it effectively impossible to be able to predict what will actually happen in any given situation.

Two Note 7 devices rolling off the assembly line one right after the other are not identical, none of them are to be honest, when you really break it down.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BarryH_GEG:
There's a tone in the past few posts I've read where people sound like they're still negotiating. The Note7's over. Talking about what Samsung should have or could have done is pointless. They've lost billions and trashed their brand image. Some people will stay with them (I did) some people won't. It would be a good idea to do something special for previous Note7 owners when the next generation of Galaxy's are released but I wouldn't count on it. Just like I wouldn't count on getting anything anyone hasn't gotten in the mean time. In the U.S. they had always been offering a $25 carrier credit for people that exchanged or returned their Note7's. They upped it by another $75 if the phone people exchanged in to was a Samsung phone. And that as they say is that.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] English_Gentleman:
It is with a heavy heart that I returned my much loved (even if it was a short romance) Note 7 to Carphone Warehouse for a refund and have reverted back to my old contract (SIM only on my Note 4). I will update my Note 4 if and when they release the Note 8.

CPWH told me that the Note 7 WOULD NOT get any software updates that stopped them charging (like the previous time) or blocked the phone but also would not benefit from ANY future updates so it's up to users discretion if they keep it or not.

For me, there isn't a replacement that is suitable for my requirements since I use the S-Pen so much. I did look at the iPhone but for the amount of memory I need I'm buggered if I'm paying nearly £300 for a one off payment then around £50 a month for the contract.

If Samsung release the Note 8 I expect it will be spectacular - not in the explosion way though.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] br0adband:
There more than likely will not be a Note 8 because of this damage to their reputation and the Note branding. It's a small remote possibility they could continue the line but they've just encountered too many problems at this point and it's just too tarnished worldwide.

I don't expect to ever see a Samsung Note produced in the future, but if they do I sure hope they do their very best to ensure it's as safe as it can be and if that means we won't see another one for 2-3 years, so be it.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] googlephone:
Note 8 was released 3 years ago. It's a tablet though.

Even without the explosion, Samsung is going to ditch the note series next year because Note 8 was already used on a tablet. It was on Samsung's schedule, before the explosion fiasco, that there won't be note branding anymore.

Just like Nexus phones, after Nexus 6/6p there won't be a nexus phone named Nexus 7 because Nexus 7 was already used on a tablet. So google just ditched the nexus branding and started pixel phone brand.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] guthrien:
Part of my issue is,this phone was aesthetically perfect. They aren't going to release anything that looks like it if the line goes anywhere. Personally I hope another manufacturer tries the stylus path after this debacle.

Yes, you're right - I forgot about the Note 8 being released as a tablet :D
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] le_travie:
Hi guys on Monday my Moto X Style fell into a bucket of water ( I was ill) I promptly snatched it back out removed the case (Supcase Unicorn beatle). At first it was on and working fine and I wiped and shock the very small amount of water on it off. Then about 5 to ten minutes later the screen started to flicker, I turned it off and put it in a sealed bag of rice for 5 days. Upon taking it out on the 5th day the backlight isnt working at all. I've used light at an angle to test the screen and everything works fine, touch responds, no outlines etc, only the backlight. My question is, is there anyway of fixing this short of replacing the entire screen? I've heard people suggest cleaning the cables with 90% alcohol, is this a viable solution? I'm willing to try any feasable method before I get a new screen. Thanks in advance.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahent:
Well, you have to take it apart to clean cables and to replace the screen. So if you don't need the phone (you have a backup) I would take it apart and clean cables and see if that works. If it doesn't, leave it in pieces and order the screen and replace it when it gets to you.

Not all layers work with xperia framework however there is some layers and Most of them is paid which I managed to get them work on xperia z2 with amazing theming results.

I still use layer manager because it is more practical when i need to mix overlays from a theme to another.

when trying a new theme just do not install the framewrok overlay at first as it is the one that cause bootloop or restart.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] skiiermike:
Good day,

I have done a lot of searching and have found ways to get better performance but I really need maximum performance for the app I am running to reduce lag.

I have the 2013, rooted on marshmallow and elementalx installed.

The max I can get is 450 on the gpu and 1890 on the CPU. And faster and I get constant reboots.

It doesn't matter if I need a custom Rom I'm prepared to do whatever necessary to get the best performance. Battery life isn't important.

Thanks,

I have a Chinese Honor 8 and have installed Google on it. Everything works fine but I cannot access the Google settings page. I know its there because I seen it pop up once asking if I want to enable Android Device manager.

Any idea how I can access it? When I go to accounts -> google and click on it, nothing happens.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] vsriram92:
Google settings has a separate app icon nowadays.

Hope so that it got hidden in any app groups. You need to check in the app groups.

If all the google apps will be inside any app group (Folder like thing). It might be inside that.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] nomailx:
Rumors say that the Note 8 will be renamed as the "S8 Plus". Well whatever its name, there were features missing from the Note 7 which I sure would like to see on the Note 8.

Features like:

- Dual Speakers. (For stereo speaker output when watching movies. That would be nice. Way better than a useless Iris Scanner imo using space and resources for nothing).

- 4K Display. (2k VR is cool but the screen door effect, not so cool. I always thought that 4K VR is that sweet spot between accessible VR and meaningful VR).

- 3D Camera. (Maybe something between the new dual lens technology and 3D stereoscopic technology. A camera that would allow to shoot at least 180 3d 4k videos). (They could even replace the iris scanner with a 2nd front Camera to go all 360 degrees.).

That's my list. How about you dudes?

Any ideas except Removable Battery?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] and2cs:

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Belimawr:
a flat screen.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
I would have to add revert back to Corning gorilla glass 4 as the 5, though more drop resistant, was softer thus more prone to marks.

Again I would agree with a flat screen but only because its bloomin impossible to purchase screen savers that work.

Stereo speakers would be a nice touch but useless in any device this size, a better DAC would be great.

Other than that..........It was simply superb. In all sincerity I do hope Samsung introduce a replacement sooner rather than later, as for the name I don't care.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] doc_loco:
That's been debunked... Gg5 is just as scratch resistant as 4 and more shatterproof. The tests were done with contaminated moh tools.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] JinxtPhoto:
The whole audio experience could use a refresh. Better quality speaker and a more robust DAC would go a long way into fleshing out everything else I loved about my Note7.

4k screen would be fantastic as well.

They could kill the physical home button and put a fingerprint scanner on the back to make the screen bezel even smaller. The on-screen buttons in Nougat would allow for that easily. That's a matter of preference though as I have never once registered my fingerprint or iris scan on any phones so it's rather useless, in my opinion, to reduce screen real estate to house a legacy button because of a fingerprint scanner. Imagine an even smaller bezel with a 4k resolution 6" screen instead of the 5.7" quad screen. I'm down for that.

Removable battery and bigger battery (4000 mah).

NON glass back. Plastic is fine, glass breaks much more easily plus 99% of us use a case anyway.

Flat screen, but still almost zero bezels on the sides still.

Dual speakers, preferably on the back instead of the bottom.

Bring back the IR blaster.

All this is assuming that the main features of the N7 are kept: IP68, physical home button, S Pen, SD card slot, etc.

I'll be over the moon so long as they keep all the features in the Note 7. I *love* the iris scanner, for example, and would hate to see that go.

If they want to add anything, it would be a 4k screen for me. 2k only gives you something like standard def for VR. A higher pixel density would be a huge boost for VR.

Well it doesn't have one, so that's hardly surprising.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Belimawr:
surprised at people wanting rid of the glass back, it is actually a really good feature, it's not only more resistant than plastic, it is also better than metal as it doesn't block things like the NFC and radio antennas. it's why every metal phone has to have lines in the metal to put the aerials in then you have the like of apple who have had to use a different material for the apple logo to allow the NFC chip to transmit through the back of the phone, or the likes of Sony who have moved it to the front of the phone making it a pain if you are using anything NFC and want to see the screen. so really the glass back adds a lot of functionality, it's the same reason the pixel has went 1/3 glass on the back to help with transmission.
