[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jealbr75:
I'm the person who started that petition.

Being an ex-N7 owner and now S7 Edge owner, I was on several forums and the most common demand was the ability to upgrade to the next Note without a penalty or a free Note altogether. So the $1000 is an estimate on what it would cost for a free Note, case, and screen protector. Do I honestly think Samsung will do it? No. However that doesn't mean we can't ask. In fact we should request something COLLECTIVELY so they understand it's not just a few sporadic groups complaining.

Basically if you don't ask, you will most likely get nothing. If you look at the petition, I've added updates showing how Samsung is considering an upgrade option for those affected by the recall. Is this because of the petition? I have no clue, but they know it's there and they know the number of signers is growing..... because it's also posted on their forum.

Even if you don't agree on the petition verbatim, please SIGN & SHARE. The more support we have, the more it will encourage them to step up and make the options better for us.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] PapaWangsta:
Hmmm, hitting the 1,000 mark real soon. :D

Oh absolutely, let Sammy hear what's up. Shoot, spent $1k and exchanging a lower end device? The loyal customers def. deserves something better IMO.

Hmm, maybe a class action lawsuit?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] br0adband:
Samsung is doing what they can to handle the situation, with refunds and exchanges and even some credit towards future purchases (in amounts they feel are adequate) but if a bunch of people continue to press them for more and more and more it's just going to hurt them more and more and more as they're trying to resolve things.

They probably look upon such requests or petitions and attach some level of understanding towards the consumers who are affected by this whole fiasco since it started and they will do their best to settle things.

Jumping on a bandwagon heading into a situation that is already on fire (pun intended) isn't actually helping, but that's my personal view on the situation. Samsung simply cannot be expected to be "OK" with the loss of all the money from all the defective devices that were manufactured and should be returned + all the money they're losing from the lost sales of millions more units that will never be made (but were projected sales) + all the money they're going to have to spend to keep the recall in place till all the units they can get returned do actually make it back to them + all the money it's going to cost them to destroy all the units that get returned + all the money for all the devices they're using as exchange units that now won't actually be sold + legal fees + the cost of the booths in the airports they're putting up + more and more and more... not to mention the hit to their reputation which can't be expressed as a monetary cost + the hit to their stock price as that reputation sours more and more each day no matter what they try to do to gain some level of control over this entire situation.

And then some people think because they owned a Note 7 that they feel like they should get a big discount on the next flagship device from Samsung in 2017 or that perhaps on some level they feel they should get it completely free too.

This is a lose-lose-lose-holy-crap-we've-lost-so-huge situation for Samsung and it's not going to end anytime soon, unfortunately.

After all this, I'm not saying customers don't deserve to be compensated for time and effort and the hassles of dealing with this, I'm saying that sometimes people - especially large groups of people - just go a bit too far in their demands and requests, this could eventually be one of those situations.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ohmegosh:
Problem is, they've had my money for a couple of months and supplied me with (according to them) two dangerous devices, then completely stop responding to phone calls, emails, tweets.

They've scheduled someone to come to my house to collect it at a date and time when I'm not here, but attempts to get through to them also fail.

They haven't responded to questions about the refund process in general, nor about how we can get refunds for 3rd party accessories where the retailer won't accept the return. Amazon were great (though charged me P&P), but I have other bits (Brodit car adapter, for example).

I've just initiated a credit card chargeback so that I at least get a refund.

Unfortunately for Samsung, those who are reasonably high net worth can afford to pick and choose brands, and the replacement TVs, washing machine, fridge etc all won't be Samsung since they've proven they can't provide even a basic level of customer service.

Another set of brands that set themselves apart, http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-35301019 - those I won't buy from either since, again, and regardless of 'fault', they've proven they can't provide the level of service that customers need.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] br0adband:
You're absolutely correct in how things are being handled overall and I'm 100% certain that the recall (both of them) and the refunds/exchanges/etc - especially in situations where people did surrender a previously owned device so they could essentially be without one entirely if they return the Note 7 they currently own) - could be dealt with better. I've been reading reports in the past 24 hours of some basically scummy ways that customer concerns are being addressed with respect to returning the devices worldwide and it's pretty disheartening when the end user is just trying to do the right thing themselves and they encounter a brick wall of sorts even so.

I hope it all works out for everyone and it doesn't kill Samsung to such a degree that they never ever produce another device like the Note but I'm leaning to the direction that they probably feel the Note brand is now so forever tarnished they may just drop it entirely, even as a branding label on the tablet line too.

Was just saying in another thread that it's somewhat odd that no other company over the past 5 years or so since the original Galaxy Note has appeared ever produced a device that could match it or even come close because of the Wacom hardware Samsung was smart to choose.

If there was ever a time for any company to pounce on this market - and it's a huge one considering how popular the Note series has been so far - this is it.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] corkiejp:
[MENTION=5626208]MasterSajid[/MENTION]

Find the "Documents" app in installed apps and enable it.

'MIUI Optimization' disables it on every reboot.

You should be prompted by the apps to grant access when required. Not all apps request this.

I assuming your using a Marshmallow rom.

If it is for TiBu, see here .

Hello XDA Family

I recently flashed G935U Firmware *4API3 over G935T *4APIA, last night to be precise and right off the bat I must say that INDEED IT IS AND FEELS FASTER THAN STOCK *4APIA. You can just UNINSTALL instead of DISABLING bloat apps.

But other than the debloated firmware, what can we get about this Unlocked version? What is so good about it? Why SM-G935U over SM-G935T Firmware?

Pros & cons? Would you go back to stock?

Running September patch.

2. Latest SAMSUNG USB DRIVERS (v15.61)

Also, it seems that the G935u firmware is still running Sep01 security patch. Are the u-series firmwares always a little behind relative to Tmobile's firmware?

Base U-series CP modem

#1: Down was 25 mbps, Up was 16 mbps

#2: Down was 15 mbps, Up was 23 mbps

#3: Down was 30 mbps, Up was 25 mbps

APK1 CP modem

#1: Down was 54.26 mbps, Up was 5 mbps

#2: Down was 48.35 mbps, Up was 5 mbps

#3: Down was 40.83 mbps, Up was 6 mbps

Well i did the entired tmobile to U firmware (no root). I hated this phone before on how laggy it was and how jot it gets with tmobile firmware. Had an iphone 7 which i was using has my daily driver until i get a pixel or something else.

I can say that this firmware brought me back on loving the phone again. It does not get hot and speed is much snappier. (This is not a placebo effect, is actually is). Everything works much better. I also have more storage memory avail. Ill be keeping this phone until galaxy s8. Dont know about root yet. The only thing i want is adaway.

Update: i have done 2 battery run. From 100% down to around 5% with 6:47h screen on time and 7:12h screen on time normal use. I was making close to 6hrs with tmobile firmware. This rom is a beast
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Arlekin.:
install this rom and I'm really happy with the performance of the smartphone, more speed, more storage. Overall very good, I recommend the installation of the software firmaware U T-Mobile.
