[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] rojocapo:
OEM ROM is so old, still on 6.0. I guess they couldn't spend one developer day to recompile to latest 6.0.1 branch and kill all those Android bugs that were fixed by Google.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] kal250:
BLU just rebadges Chinese phones, they do no development(aside from minor branding changes). They rely on the actual OEM to do all the work, in this case Tinno. Getting a current Android build from most of these budget Chinese OEMs is very rare.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] rojocapo:
Thanks for the info, I was not aware of that. So who is doing the updates for the Amazon Prime ROM? BLU, an Amazon contractor or the OEM?
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] kal250:
Amazon, probably puts pressure on BLU who in turn contacts Tinno, all of the updates come from Tinno. If you review any of the update.zip files you will see Tinno as the OEM
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] Nintonito:
Has BLU committed to a 7.0 update in any way? That would make it a nice value.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] kal250:
BLU does not have a very good track record with maintaining or updating their devices... If not for Amazon that variant would still be stuck on 6.1.... But it is a nice phone for the price.... We would stand a better chance of getting Nougat if everyone that bought the device contributed to a fund, and paid Tinno to develop it....
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] yaconsult:
Never mind Nougat! I want the damn voLTE update that they promised and never delivered. http://xdaforums.com/r1-hd/how-to/amazon-reviews-influence-blu-to-release-t3470582

Well you know technically we could sue them for false advertising and not going through with promises made to the end user. However, that is more hassle than its worth.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] Autolounge:
They promised Android 7.0 last I heard .

I'm not too sure. I'll look into it and see if I can get the source.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] SaurabhAnand:
I don't think so, the only phones receive the Android 7.0 OS Update are of Nexus, Samsung, LG, Motorolla, HTC and OnePlus. There is no mentioning of BLU. But if you want to see in detail then here is the source :

Better not expect it. Marshmallow still respectable, especially for general users who don't care if their phones got current version.

Not holding my breath

Would be nice. Sucks to buy a new phone only to find the NEXT android OS version comes out with new functionality like google assistant right after, and the phone MFR is all "sorry not upgrading that model" ;):silly:
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] yaconsult:
Yeah, but it's much easier to take lack of updates on a $60 phone than a $600 phone!

Lenovo dropped updates on my, then $230, Moto G LTE xt1045 only 10 months after it was released. And that update from kitkat to lollipop was reported to have lots of problems.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] evo4g63t:
Really? It's a 60 dollar phone it's already a heck of a value. It's not like 7 has any must have feature.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] omegear:
Not yet xD
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] oponewbie:
BLU did promise (actually "with a guaranteed update to Android 7.0.") to Android Authority during an interview about the BLU r1 HD, http://www.androidauthority.com/blu-r1-hd-announced-700951/

"US based, BLU Products, announced a new budget smartphone to its lineup for the US market. The BLU R1 HD is sold unlocked, backed by a 2500mAh battery and is currently one of the few devices yet, confirmed to run the upcoming Android 7.0 Nougat when it arrives later this year."

Will be interesting if we actually see Nougat since we haven't even seen LTE band 12 yet and that was promised by both Amazon and BLU R1 HD (shortly after release) 5 months later no update yet.

I would expect an CM rom or something to be completed and working perfectly before BLU officially releases a Nougat update.

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Kjohnsen:
Hi guys.

So a week ago my Mi5 only want to connect to edge, the LTE and 3G simply wont work.

I tryed everything, forcing it to only use LTE = No connection - same goes for 3G

I have also tryed to reset APN settings and nothing. I contacted my carrier, and they told me everything was fine.

I just tested it in my old Meizu and the LTE works fine. Anyone know what could cause it?

Please help, cause as for now the connection is so slow that without Wifi it might aswell be a flipphone... :p
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Kjohnsen:
Update: I also tryed to install a stable rom using this method: http://en.miui.com/a-232.html

But i cant, i get the "Your allowe to flash the newest stable rom from develop version ONLY"

Try this:

1. In Settings/About phone/ press several times on Internal memory

2. Press Phone information 1 or 2

3. Scroll down and Set Preffered network type as you see on image or chose LTE Ony .

4. Wait few seconds till change has effect.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ecltech:
Try Soti Pocket Controller Pro - http://www.soti.net/default.asp?Cmd=Products&SubCmd=PCPro

Works great. It's commerical app though. Well worth the $$ if you plan on using it a lot.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] saco274:
I was at the T-MOBILE store today in NY inquiring about the S7 edge when a gentle walked in and asked if they were still selling the note 7. To my surprise the employee said yes. She did tell him to not let it charge past 60% and if it feels like it's over heating that he can bring it in and exchange if for another phone.

I wanted to get the note 7 but amid this disaster regarding the second recall I thought it was irresponsible for T-Mobile to sell any more of them. Have we been so brainwashed by the media that the battery exploding is only happening to a small percentage of the note 7 out in the wild. When he asked and she said yes, I'll admit I was tempted to see if I could be one of the lucky ones to get a non defective note 7 bit then i came back to reality and said the headache is not worth the reward.

What gives T-MOBILE and why don't you have the damn pixel in your store? You know sometimes I wonder! It would've been a perfect landing spot regardless of what happened to the note 7!
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] harveydent:
That T-Mobile employee was probably just an overworked, underpaid, and uninformed sales clerk. He/she could care less if you got a Note 7 or not.

The Pixel is a Verizon "exclusive". That's how the carrier system works in the US and it sucks. The rest of the world has electronic stores like Best Buy or OEM stores like Apple/Samsung/Microsoft where you can get your phones without dealing with carriers. You just buy a SIM of whichever carrier you want and pop a sim in, or you go into a carrier store to get your line, and they have no way to dictate to you what phones you can use.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] saco274:
Your probably right about there clerk but I hope the person who wanted is aware of what's happening, how could he not be. Also, I know I can take a Google purchased pixel and use it at T-MOBILE but it just seemed like the logical carrier that it should be on given how rapidly TMo has grow in the last few years. So would tmo sell the now 7 if someone wanted it? Would there be support for it?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] F9zSlavik:
This ^&%$$%^ sucks man. Really sucks. I love my Note 7 but at this point I now feel I no longer have a choice now but to return it. Just heard the news about the DOT that there is a full ban now. You can be jailed and even fined now for trying to travel with it
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] pcriz:
The pixel appears to be a tesla exclusive in Australia. Also you can buy unlocked phones at Best buy stateside. Or Amazon, or eBay, or expansys usa, the list goes on.

---------- Post added at 04:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

The note 7 isn't for sale, did you see the purchase from beginning to end?

That sales person seems like an idiot because the Note 7 has been a huge goat rope for every carrier, if they don't know by now they shouldn't be selling it they might need a new line of work.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] saco274:
I did not see the sale I was just listening. I don't know if it happened to be honest with you.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] douger1957:
I've only been on T-Mobile for a couple of months but I don't see any history of them carrying the Nexus phones.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] pcriz:
They carried the nexus 4. Also charged 150 more than the Google play store but you could pay on installments
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] douger1957:
I read somewhere recently where the exclusive Verizon has to the Pixel may be short lived. I don't know that's because Google sees an opening with the Note 7 debacle to get their phone a broader customer base or whether that was part of the original agreement.

I'm keeping my Note 7 until at least the V20 comes out. It's the closest thing feature wise to the Note 7. I'd go Pixel in a New York minute if it had SD card capability.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] saco274:
Yeah I think I'm going with the V20. I just don't see the justification on spending $900 on the pixel right now. I'm going to wait for the 2nd pixel. Maybe TMo will cough up the loot to get it in there stores.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] pcriz:
Yeah im still pondering on the Pixel but the new name doesn't fool me. Never been super happy with Nexus batteries or cameras and every nexus phone had the best camera ever if you asked Google. Much like they are saying with the Pixel now.

Problem is unless you preorder you have to buy the 120 vr. I also need Wi-Fi calling at home :-/

I'd give up my card for a 128gb phone. I'm interested in the battery on the LG though.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] douger1957:
I've got over 128 GB of music on that free 256 GB card that I got with the Note 7. With the V20 and it's supposed audio quality, I could load more .flac music up.

Then again, I could keep the S7 Edge they sent me as a loaner for the first recall. It shows as paid up on the T-Mobile website. It would work with the VR I claimed as part of that deal. Then again, I don't have the morals of an alley cat.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] RaymondPJR:
Might as well get an iPhone, they're doing the same thing: Charging too much (price) for too little (features). No way I'm buying that crap!
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] pcriz:
Yeah man, I'm looking at what is offered and for that price I got so much more on the N7 and it's depressing. Also why the hell would you only offer 32 and 128gb.

The price makes it very hard to justify.

In au, just got the pushed Samsung message to say total aircraft ban..flying in 2 weeks..I bet from experience with the loan phone that it won't come in time (and I am disappointed to have to give up the spen for the first time in 4 years..Assuming I go the S7E which is about the most similar phone to the N7 there is).
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jmitr:
In Canada I did the trade. Walked out with an S7E and $300+ in cash.

The ban means security can take it away. Airlines have fireproof bags if one is found on board. If you are caught with one on board you will be charged.

Air Canada Pilot by the way so I'm not blowing smoke.

the ban is so bad until the whole phone is tainted , removing battery doesnt get you thru too , hmmm the power of media hype
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Belimawr:
if the phone is seen as a threat and by the fact it has been discontinued and recalled even the manufacturer has deemed the device unsafe for the public, so really them being given a total ban from air travel (a place where them failing is most dangerous) is not bad it is just common sense, even the boxes sent out by Samsung say that they are only to be sent by ground transport, so when the manufacturer is saying not to take them on flights in protective boxes it makes the idea of taking them in your pocket or bag on a plane sound even more unadvisable.

Passengers who bring a Note 7 onto a plane are "subject to civil penalties of up to $179,933 for each violation for each day they are found to be in violation (49 U.S.C. 5123)," and could be prosecuted, which could "result in fines under title 18, imprisonment of up to ten years, or both (49 U.S.C. 5124)."

Its banned by quite a few airlines here in Hong Kong as well...
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] br0adband:
Samsung has stated pretty clearly that they are willing to buy back the devices and they're offering full refunds on the price which would mean if you go that route and you get the money you can pay off the contract with the money they provide to you. It might not be a really easy thing, done with a single phone call, but I have no reason to think Samsung won't follow through and offer a refund for every Note 7 that people who still possess them care to send back.

Of course a lot of people at this point are already looking for ways to weasel out of such contracts and get another device in exchange and the $100 credit and not have to pay their carrier a penny and they're even going so far as to think Samsung should give them a discount or credit towards whatever the next flagship device happens to be.

Such practices are becoming all too common in our world and it's pretty disgusting when it does.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] droidnew:
Just FYI stuff but I flew Delta from Jacksonville NYC and back last week. They announced the ban on the Note 7 many times in the airport and on the plane. But, I never saw anyone check anyone's phone. Maybe they can tell when the phones roll through the x-ray machine or something. The announcement said if you had one please bring it to the desk (in the airport), or to give it to a flight attendant if you had it on the plane. Seemed kind of "lax" to me.............
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BozQ:
How are they going to identify the Note 7 anyway? At a glance, the S7 Edge looks awfully similar too.

I'd have probably handed my Note7 over by now were it not for the people who kept telling me to do so. Oh the irony.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
Told you before I would fight for your right to keep your note 7. I would not fight for your right to bring another persons safety into jeopardy . No one but the law can TELL you what to do, that's absurd. Certain matters in life are left to your educated mature discretion to make for yourself. To be blunt who cares if you keep your note 7? It only becomes the concern of others when you either break the law, by taking it on public transport, or by endangering others safety.

We all have this freedom and thank heavens we still have it. Freedom carries responsibility and has consequences. I am sure you, as a grown adult, would accept that. :good:
