[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] raneym305:
I just spoke with a Verizon rep (via online chat). According to her, we are still eligible for the annual upgrade program after exchanging the Note7; however, the annual upgrade date will be from the date the new device is activated NOT the date we purchased the Note7. - This makes sense, as one of the stipulations of the annual upgrade agreement was that 50% of the device (Note7) had been paid off. On that note, she also confirmed that any device received in exchange for the Note7 can be upgraded prior to the one-year-mark, as long as it has been activated and has been in use for 30 days, and 50% of the balance has been paid off.

I feel a lot better knowing that if I downgrade to the S7 Edge, I can pay an extra sixty bucks come August and still preorder the Note8 (assuming there will be one).
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] DeMi-GoD:
I love this device too much. I will not use my upgrade to downgrade. Device is too perfect. If it goes, so do I. I designed a special headband to hold the note 7 firmly against my forehead while I sleep so if it explodes we both leave together.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] browning:
What response did they provide? I feel the same way. I have to downgrade to a device I don't want and is now "old" from the device I waited several cycles for. I'm not pleased with having to downgrade and lose an upgrade due to faults not my own.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] DeMi-GoD:
Yeah this is bad. We need to put our heads together and figure out a loophole or something. Goal is to obviously keep our upgrade available for when the s8 or new note comes out. Or preferably, keep the note 7 until s8 or new note then get refund and upgrade to new device but if they really set a recall deadline it kinda screws that plan...
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] atbjr:
The annual upgrade stopped for people who bought phones after 9/10/16. Had to buy a s7 prior to that date to be able to upgrade at the 50% mark
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] JinxtPhoto:
Correct... And a lot of us bought our original Note 7 on or before 8/19/16... So wouldn't the logical thing to do be: let the people who exchange the Note 7 for an S7 or S7E be grandfathered into the yearly Samsung upgrade so long as the Note 7 was purchased prior to 9/10/16?

There is a difference between the standard Verizon one year upgrade and the Samsung specific yearly upgrade, isn't it? I'm under the assumption that the Samsung specific one matches half of your paid cost so long as you've got half already paid on it, to effectively wipe the balance so you can upgrade to a newer Samsung without continuing to pay the other half on the first. But I may be totally misinformed on that.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] raneym305:
Per my discussion with Verizon (see attached screen shot), this is what they're doing.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] devoidx:
well its great that "Jessica" thinks we can upgrade but unfortunately this is not an official position yet and many verizon representatives have stated the opposite so this is till a crapshow.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] JinxtPhoto:
That looks like the standard upgrade policy, going into effect at the date of the replacement's activation instead of the original Note 7 purchase date. That's not the Samsung yearly upgrade promotion. Unless you're on a grandfathered plan, Verizon always allows upgrades after 30 days if half the phone is paid off, it's the trade in value that changes depending on whether you're on the standard upgrade path or the Samsung Yearly.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Tbone6564:
I'm on a two year contract with Verizon, I decided to buy a refurbished s7 from best buy for $419, then I'm going to trade that in when these new phones come out next year and I won't lose my upgrade, thoughts?
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] neyenlives:
If you replace the Note 7 with say a.... Pixel XL... you lose the 12 month upgrade. That is tied to the device not the line. That's why I returned my Pixel XL and am getting an S7 Edge so I can get rid of it in a year.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] devoidx:
S7 edge also doesn't qualify for the 12 month upgrade unless you got it before Sept 8-9. Currently the only verizon phone that comes with a yearly upgrade option is iphone 7
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] neyenlives:
Hrm.... at the time I preordered my Note 7 the S7 Edge was still showing up on the eligible list. Ill push my 325/mo 4 line account on them to get it. Either way I'd rather be in an S7E for two years than a Pixel
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] devoidx:
yeah it sucks to be stuck with a 1 year old phone for another 2 years...that's what i'm struggling with right now and don't know what to do

[General Questions and Answers] meowwl:
I just went from an older than dirt LG optimus slider (android 2.3.5...hence older than dirt!...But I still miss the slide out keyboard! :p) to an LG K3, running Android 6.0.1. I'd like to root it so I can remove some of the bloatware, and to get Link2SD running so I can move stuff to the SD card. However, Kingroot shows "No exploit available." and there isn't a TWRP recovery for it yet either. Anyone got any ideas as to how to root this thing? I've tried kingroot, oneclickroot, and even poot (which made me giggle like a 5 year old, once I found a clean version anyway.) to no avail.
[General Questions and Answers] wolfxwinds:
Still searching for some hope.. so far very very little.. ran all the app root which all fail dramatically.

I have went on offensive trying to find a version of twrp that is also a negative.. any seniors want to give us some light?
[General Questions and Answers] meowwl:
Well, since there are at least three threads concerning this phone, maybe someone will give us a hand in one of them! I actually have a spare one with a shattered but still functional (due to the skinomi holding it together!) screen that I'd be willing to let someone use for research purposes.
[General Questions and Answers] wperdigon:
I am in the same boat about this phone. I currently have about 8 of them for Perk and Check points and I would love to be able to root for them. I can make a small donation ($50) to whoever can get a root developed to this device so I can do my own will with it. Very serious about my offer =) Subscribed!
[General Questions and Answers] unclevername:
I can offer a small donation as well ($25). I have the Virgin Mobile version of the K3, if that makes a difference. I'm not too tech-oriented, so the easier the root method is to follow, the better :)
[General Questions and Answers] MotoJunkie01:
I've managed a temporary root using a rather unorthodox method of two different one-click root utilities. Currently working on getting the SuperSU binaries to stick to achieve a permanent root. I'll keep you all updated.....
[General Questions and Answers] unclevername:
Excellent, thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] MotoJunkie01:
Achieved full root using iRoot, the Windows PC version. Still trying to inject the Super SU binaries.
[General Questions and Answers] wperdigon:
Ok, give me some instructions with the super user so I can do some of the things I want to do and if it works out you got paypal money :)
[General Questions and Answers] unclevername:
Please let us know when you've completed it. I'll gladly send you a donation when the instructions are up. Thanks again for taking the time to tinker with it.
[General Questions and Answers] MotoJunkie01:
I will definitely do that. Just today I finally achieved full root on my LG Tribute 2. The LG K3 has proven to be tough. I have full root via iRoot, but have yet to replace the iRoot binaries with SuperSU binaries.

---------- Post added at 06:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ----------

So if you simply want root, I can instruct you on that. My definition of a "true" full root, however, is when [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]'s SuperSU binaries are injected.

---------- Post added at 07:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 PM ----------

I'll get some links and files together and post some instructions by this evening. This method will at least get you super user access to /system
[General Questions and Answers] unclevername:
I'm not sure if I need the SuperSU binaries or not. I'm looking to both remove manufacturer-installed bloatware and to install link2sd so that I can use the SD card. I've read a little bit about custom recoveries and I don't think I want to go down that road.

The two previous phones that I had - the LG Tribute and the LG Optimus - were fine once I rooted them and removed stuff and then installed link2sd. I liked the fact that I had more control over the phone, but I didn't feel the need to install any custom recovery. I remember the root process for the other two phones did include installing SuperSu, but I don't know if that is required for what I want to do.

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] MotoJunkie01:
Sure. The root that I've achieved will give you full root privilege over the /system partition. You can debloat, deodex, edit build.prop, install BusyBox, etc etc. As we speak I'm putting together a brief tutorial on rooting the LG K3, with links to needed files.

Guide - Rooting the LG K3

Disclaimer: As with any rooting procedure, you are doing this at your own risk. I am not responsible for bricked or inoperable devices. However, I will provide support in the event of such a travesty.

1. On your Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or 10 PC or laptop, download and install the LG United Driver v4.1.1 from this link.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByS9qDHT607jTVFBbVEwUi1vVjg/view?usp=drivesdk

2. On your LG K3, go to SETTINGS, ABOUT PHONE, and find BUILD NUMBER. Tap approximately 8 times until DEVELOPER OPTIONS is enabled.

3. Enable USB DEBUGGING and OEM UNLOCKING.

4. On your PC or laptop, download and install the latest iRoot version for Windows from this link:

http://www.iroot.com

5. Connect your LG K3 to your PC or laptop using a proper micro USB syncing cable.

6. Launch iRoot on your PC or laptop and ensure your phone is connected as a media device.

7. Follow any on-screen prompts that may appear on your device's screen during the process.

8. Your device may reboot one or more times during the process. This is normal.

9. Upon completion, iRoot should indicate that your device is rooted and a super user app will be installed on your device. If the procedure fails, simply try again. It will achieve root.

This is great. I'm going to try it out a little later today. I'll let you know how it goes, and I'll post any questions I have along the way. Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] MotoJunkie01:
Please do. I always like to see input and experiences posted.
[General Questions and Answers] unclevername:
MotoJunkie, I installed the LG United drivers to my PC using the link you provided. I then downloaded iRoot and when I tried to install it I received this message:

"The program can't start because libaapt.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem."

It went on to list these other dll's as missing: Common.dll, PhoneManageru.dll, and DuiLib_u.dll.

A Google search turned up the possibility of a virus or corruption as the culprit, among other things, so I'm running some scans now. Any thoughts?
[General Questions and Answers] MotoJunkie01:
Go to the iRoot official website and download the most recent version of iRoot. Install it from your download. It is very possible that the file I provided is devoid of the required .dll files for installation. I will correct that in my post. Thank you for pointing it out.
[General Questions and Answers] wperdigon:
SO far, I have tried this on one of the 8 phones I have. I have restarted, rebooted, basically followed the steps in order. Downloaded new direct from the iroot - i have had 8 attempts, nothing, all i Get is root failed. Does it matter if it's a Boost Mobile device prepaid?
[General Questions and Answers] MotoJunkie01:
It is possible that there is a difference, possibly in the firmware build, or in some type of carrier specific protected or encrypted partition. To clarify I used this exact method on a LGLS450 Virgin Mobile branded. The method worked first time. You should perhaps try Kingoroot, the PC version. Also, RootGenius and KingRoot, PC versions, have proven effective in the past on some of these budget LG devices. Please keep me posted on your progress.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badwiring:
Has anyone had a cracked screen repaired? Google told me they don't do that because it's not covered under warranty. I get that I have to pay for it, but they said they don't repair that and I have to find a 3rd party. A repair shop told me the screen isn't available to order.

I find it hard ti believe that if the screen breaks that's just the end of it.

As you can see from the attached tear down, this is a formidable task > https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Google+Pixel+C+Teardown/62277

I did a quick Google search and got zero results for replacement screen.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badwiring:
Formidable for me. But they're Google, manufacturer of the Pixel C. That would seem to put them in a unique position to know how to repair it. And they probably know where to get the screens because they make those too.

But what's really odd is that they didn't know who does repairs. I'm not exaggerating or embellishing. After she put me on hold for a while she said she didn't know and that I should try looking around at the mall.

I have a message with their forum and maybe I'll try calling them again. It has to be a mistake.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Colmb:
This just happend to me 2 weeks ago when I managed to drop my beutiful Pixcel C and destroy the screen. I was furious with myself. Screen still worked, touch was fully responsive, but it looked bloody horrible. I tried searching online also to no avail. In the end I contacted the Play Store support team by phone (I'm in Ireland, but I think it was a UK call centre I was talking to). I explained my situation to the rep, and he put me on hold for a few mins while he talked to technical support. When he came back, he asked me to email him a few photos to show the damage (he mailed me his address and asked that I just reply with the photos). Following day I got an email from a different rep, who said they were going to RMA my damaged tablet, and that they would send me new one by following through on a link they sent me to the play store where I could order the replacement, but the offer was only available for 24 hours. In the email, it did specify that I would not be charged for the replacement tablet, but failure to return the old one would mean my card be charged in full for the cost of the replacement. Also, "if it was determined that the damaged tablet wasn't a warranty defect, my card could be charged up to the cost of the replacement device". I sent another email to clarify this point to say that this WAS NOT a warranty issue, and I fully expected to pay the repair costs, but not up to the full value of the tablet. If this was the case, I would just be better off ordering a replacement tablet from the store as normal, because if I send back the damaged tablet (which still worked fine), get billed the full cost of the replacement unit, I still end up with one tablet but have paid full price for the new one......whereas if I just bite the bullet & order from the store, I pay the same amount and still have the old tablet as a spare? They never responded to this mail, and as the time was running out on the 24hr window for the offer......wisely or not, I pressed the button to order the replacment unit from the link they provided.

Google shipped the new tablet within 24hrs complete with return prepaid UPS labels & instructions. They put a hold for €509 on my c/card, but have not actually taken the money. The damaged tablet was recieved back at their wharehouse in Germany today (according to the UPS tracking info), but I haven't heard anything yet from Google about how much they're going to bill me. If they charge me the full cost, I will NOT be a happy camper, but currently, I love how they took care of me.

I will update again when I hear anything back about what they'll end up charging me. Hope this info might help.

Colm.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkryder:
Colm, the wording you mentioned is there to handle issues like accidental damage [which yours is] being passed off as a warranty damage. but the emails are in your favor in that you fully explained the situation and google offered an exchange knowing it was accidental damage. i don't think it was worded specifically to your situation , rather all standard situations. this is to protect google from the cases were owners basically try to pass off accidental damage as warranty damage , which you did not attempt to do. whenever i contact google on product issues i use chat so i have a transcript. but you used email so basically no difference. i think google is handling your situation as a goodwill item meaning they will gain more in just sending a replacement via having a very happy customer than they would by having you unhappy and maybe not wanting to ever purchase another product.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Colmb:
If that turns out to be the case, never mind happy, I'd be bloody ecstatic! But, I won't get my hopes up till I get some kind of confirmation from the big G. And yeah, in all my communications, I make it very clear this was not a warranty issue, and I fully expected to pay something for the repair to the damaged device.

I'll post again here if/when I hear back from G.

[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badwiring:
Google replaced my device. They said they were sending a refurbished unit with no charger, and they sent me a new retail package (with charger.)

I've had some grief with this tablet, but replacing it after I dropped and broke it is pretty awesome. And even though I've been okay with the little Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 I had replaced it with, I couldn't wait to get this back. I don't care if it's a little bit heavier than something else. I love my ginormous Pixel C.

When it finishs flashing, on mobile you choose reboot. It will be OK.
