[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] whoofit:
They can keep the 3rd party support and updates. I never bought those anyways.

At worst, they will bump you off the network(s) which leaves a pretty desirable wifi only business companion except if you fly or work in a fireworks factory. Bumping from networks, forcing wifi only operation, does nothing to eliminate the risk of fire so I'm not sure about this one. They would need a total brick job.

I just received an S Notes update today. So much for no more updates. I know that it is not a 3rd party of security update but just sayin'.

Whether or not you will be expected to pay to keep it remains to be seen and time will tell. IF they are pretending the Note 7 doesn't exist then that could get interesting as well. This isn't Kickstarter here....

If I went iPhone 7 route I could retain my annual upgrade. Sammy can keep their $75 loyalty bonus for that matter.

Truth be told, if I am forced to, I will get a Note 5 off Swappa out side the Verizon network.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] mopar:
The way I see it is there is a big difference between a voluntary recall and a mandatory recall. Some are acting like this is a mandatory recall when in fact it is voluntary meaning they are not going to disable your phone you can continue as normal and then when the time comes because the phone is under recall you can simply return it and upgrade to a new device whenever you find one that suits your needs. The only caveat is there will be no software updates to the operating system for security patches but that's not the worst thing in the world. They are only disabling phones that have been scheduled to be returned other than that I don't think they can legally disabled all the phones unless it becomes a mandatory recall.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] jellyhead:
Here's the facts:

- Only 90 or so phones out of probably millions at this point have had this issue.

- The defect showed itself within the first several days of use.

- Samsung Techs were unable to cause a meltdown in their Labs. This proves that this will only happen if you have one of the few defective devices and they didn't find one.

Given the facts, here's my thoughts on the "personal safety and safety of those around you" statement. If you have used you're phone for over a month with no issues then it isn't a defective device. My phone hasn't even gotten hot at any time and has operated perfectly even after rooting.

Another possibility here is that there is a rare combination of APP(s) + use that is causing a unique condition for this to happen. Now here goes the conspiracy theory. It may even be that an unnamed competitor, after discovering this vulnerability, staged these meltdowns for bad PR. The incident on the plane was an absolute worst case for Samsung's image and exactly what someone wishing to damage it would have staged.

For the safety of those around me I'll be attaching this warning label
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Mibuix0r:
Isn't it a federal crime to bring the Note 7 on a flight now? If mine didnt lag so bad I would consider keeping it but not take it on a plane.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] jellyhead:
I see from you sig that you have xposed installed, lag seems to be a common problem with some of the exposed modules. I uninstalled immediately due to lack of features and the lag issue.

I sold my perfect condition Note 3 modified to Developer Edition on eBay but I do have another Note 3 with a minor screen crack which I plan to activate for any flights.....until next fall when the Note 8 arrives. (or whatever they nename it to for marketing purposes)

I would expect Samsung to continue their investigation and ultimately track down the defect. If it's possible to patch with software they may offer this to the many thousands that I'm sure will be keeping their phones. I actually talked to the Costco rep who said he still wanted a Note 7. The recall over a handful of defective phones isn't putting off a huge number of owners.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Mibuix0r:
I don't think its xposed, when im screen mirroring, using gps, streaming music, and charging (aka in my car) it gets so hot the whole system UI crashes.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] teegunn:
Neither of my N7's get hot or lag at all. Never have. This is the first phone in many years I have not rooted. I do have package disabler pro to disable the VZ bloat and the udate SDM apk's. No freezing, never overheats or gets hot, great battery life. Almost a perfect phone. I do use Nova Launcher, but that shouldn't matter for anything with lag/no lag. The N7 is pretty much everything I ever wanted in a phone. Not a fan of the curved display since you can't get a tempered screen protector that works for it, and the mono speaker is not very good, but those are about my only complaints (besides a non-removable battery that has overheated in 100 some of the 3 or 4 million N7's out there).
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] outamoney:
[MENTION=2917078]jellyhead[/MENTION] nice graphics lol, I'll probably do something similar

Does anyone (that's keeping it) know if you can get any of these "recall perks" without returning it? Like any of the bill credits Samsung or the carriers are offering or money back for accessories?
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] crash613:
Off topic, but was wondering.. when changing launchers do you lose the software for the stylus? does it still work?
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] jellyhead:
I'm using Nova and I still get S Pen options when pulling it out
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] teegunn:
No, you don't lose anything going to Nova launcher. Nova is waaaay better than touchwiz. Not even close, at least for me.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] bigdave7205:
I installed the HTC.Kaizer.Home.Plugin.with.Tabsetting.schen on my Alltel PPC6800. After setting up the weather tab for my city, setting up the pictures in the favorites tab, I was toying around in the launcher tab to see what the different icons did. When I tapped the 3rd one from the left (appears to be the one that adjusts the backlight) it turned off the backlight on my phone!!

I've tried everything I can think of to turn it back on with no luck. I tried pressing the power button, every other button on the thing, soft resetting it, and pulling the battery for as much as an hour and then restarting it. NO LUCK!! The phone appears to be working since I can press the phone button twice and call the last number called. I just can't see the screen.

WHAT DO I DO!!!! Is there anyway to hard reset it without going into settings and clearing the memory? Or is there some shortcut to turn on the backlight?

Oh, and BTW, it still syncs with my PC. (Again, I just can't see the screen!) So is there anyway to make any needed changes, hard reset, or anything else via active sync?

Sorry for such a retarded first post but I am at total loss here. I've searched and haven't found anyone having had anything similar to this problem. At least I haven't found it. Apparently I'm not as smart as I thought I was.

Much thanks in advance for any help provided!! I really depend on my phone!!

ActiveSync Remote Display. You sync your phone with the computer, run ActiveSync Remote Display on the computer, and it will display the contents of the screen. It's how a lot of people get screenshots of what is on their phone. Special installation instructions for WM6.

You need to hit the same backlight button again. That will toggle through several levels of back lighting, one of which is off.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] EternalSeekerX:
Dear XDA,

So I am thinking of replaceing my note 7 and the S7E is one of my options. In the Canadian Market we get the Exynos 8890 SOC. I am planning of picking up the dual sim version anyway (on sale to from newegg). So for my uses:

-Used the phone for calling,texting,social media, etc.

-Media consumption using a 1440p screen for youtube, netflix, and some native HDR contant, music using lossless files with poweramp and music streaming with spotify

-Heavy 3D games, emulators, and pokemon Go, etc.

-Using hpc applications, loading compute payloads using otg, gnuroot to run workstation applications (programming, scripts, sensor data, machine vision, etc.); Use for on the go work but mostly a side/independant work

-Using drafting application on native andriod and linux (part of the previous point)

-Used fingerprint and iris scanner, SD card encryption, phone encryption during start up, secure folder, etc.

-Used all samsung features

-Listen to music using a 3.5mm jack at home and bt headphones on the go/gym

-Taking pictures, videos, using slow mo

-etc.

So, to summarize :

I love media consumption and media capture with the phone, I use every feature my Note 7*has and I would love to use newer features to. Battery life should be well and I love expandable storage. I use my phone for emulators, Pokemon Go, other high graphic (for a phone that is) game, spotify, data storage and transfer (for my work files and such), and I do use some "High Performance" application on the phone such as Autocad, Matlab , gnuroot Debian*and other analysis software and even computing by uploading payloads via usb otg*(as a hobby and sometimes to complete work on the go). I also love using root access (but if I can get most root features without rooting the phone it be great).*With all that, I also use the phone like any other person such as for social media, phone calls (omg I know :P), test messaging etc.*

For the future: I would use Android wear/samsung gear s3, wireless charging, etc.

So coming from a SD820 to the exynos I expect better battery life and better cpu performace? What about 3d performance, does the exynos lag behind? What about rooting in general? Still possible?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] @soka:
From, what i read. Yes better battery life that the S820.

Exynos version was the first to get a root exploit , so yes root - you can.

More custom roms to choose from, than the S820 version.

Also try ARISE sound systems,

Try more custom Kernels.

;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] EternalSeekerX:
Do you know how it's gpu performs vs the SD820? Is the difference really bad ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] madphone:
the GPU is mediocre. nothing compared to those in s820 or a10.

it gets its job done, but some games are already struggling with max settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] EternalSeekerX:
Okay. So what's the difference in cpu gains vs gpu losses between the 8890 and 820? Any news on how better the 821 is ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cantenna:
I got a Canadian S7 Edge directly from Samsung store in Toronto that has a Grade B cpu. So far I can gear vr any game for hours and not get an overheat message.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] EternalSeekerX:
Thank you!! Why is it a Grade B over an A? What would you consider a Grade A soc?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cantenna:
Hard to explain, just know that is something you won't know until after you get it and root it. Grade A is better and even more rare than B. It's common though top get grade D and sometimes C. It just means the cpu can tolerate undervolting/overclocking better. I would imagine though that the better the grade, the better it is at managing heat but that's just a hunch, more important if you vr i guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] EternalSeekerX:
I am in toronto as well!! Well guess s7e is a strong replacement contender now!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cantenna:
It sure is! I bought the phone outright eventhough i live in Australia. Its fast, no lag here. I was looking at the dual aim but the micro sd slot is hard to do workout for me, with it i have enabled adaptive storage :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] nitrous²:
How do you know you have a grade B CPU? I'd like to know about mine. I know about this also from Desktop GPUs. I always managed to get the card with the worst grade GPU and couldn't properly overclock.

Come find me on telegram and I'll tell you, i can send you print screens there
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] EternalSeekerX:

Hi guys! Its my first time posting a problem, i usually manage to fix it by reading and looking for info, but this time im really stuck :o

My cousins phone turned off one day and it never booted right again, got stuck in Moto logo... He tried to fix it (Not sure what he did, but my guess is that he somehow deleted a partition or someting), and now, it wont flash anything, just keep getting this error in every line:

I was able to unlock the bootloader (Device is UNLOCKED. Status: 3) but still cant flash anything, i tried almost every single post i could find in the web but no luck at all... :(

It boot directly into fastboot mode and when i press the power up button the logo image was replaced by this :eek: http://imgur.com/JH4CAq1

Bootloader version is 48.86 and when connected to the PC it is recognized as "Fastboot Titan S" :rolleyes:

If anyone can help me i'll be really greatful!

Thanks for reading and sorry for my pooooor englando :laugh:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hurdlesemo:
Ok so my Verizon S5 is running on Kitkat using the NI2 firmware and rooted using the towelroot method - flashing the NCG, rooting and reflashing the NI2.

The phone keeps wanting to take the OTA and my son keeps hitting accept forcing me to reflash about once a month.

Haven't really researched this too much as she's happy with the phone, but I would like for the sake of my sanity and wifi tethering to update this phone to the most recent firmware possible and keep root. Also getting tired of the annoying update notifications.

Would like to keep a stock ROM as I have had some issues with custom ROMS.

I'm sure someone can point me in the direction of an already established thread.

Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sean19661:
You could disable the system update app and that will stop you from getting the update notification. I used titanium backup to freeze it
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Royal2000H:
I would recommend updating to marshmallow (PF4) if you have the 15xxxx eMMC and can unlock your bootloader.

I just upgraded from KitKat over the weekend and a bunch of my issues with my phone (lots of Force Closes) were resolved.

Follow this excellent guide: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/newbies-guide-to-install-pb1-rom-root-t3481826

Either way, whether you choose to update or not, you should use Titanium Backup to freeze SDM 1.0 (according to guides. But showed up as "System Updates 1.0" (the one with the icon) on my phone with Marshmallow). That will block the OTA installer/notifier.

Hello I have a Alcatel one touch fierce 7024w which is rooted with KingRoot. My issue is there seems to be a memory leak on Android JB 4.2.2(latest) and whenever I use a certain application for a period of time (usually YouTube) it will just crash no error anything just crash to launcher. I check ram and 0.98 GB used 10 mb free. I check applications and it only adds up to about 100+ mb ram even cached. No ram releaser app works and only solution is to reboot device where cycle restarts all over again. Tried factory reset and delete cache through recovery but doesn't work. I can't restore Android because there is no development on this device. I can't take screenshots.

Any ideas?

Hi XDA i want to install cy 12.1 Lolipop 5.1.1 os in my Samsung galaxy grand || 7102 so my issue is i don't have a computer( it was a break) so i How can i install CWM recovery in my device? help me i need much!:svetius:
[Android General] raymond_bqg:
If you want to install cwm recovery and flash cm 12.1 without pc ,i will guide you.

I think it is better to install T.W.RP instead C.W.M

HERE YOU GO :-

1)Root your device using kingroot orfarmroot.One of these apps should work for ur device.

If you dont know how to use these apps then ask me

2)Now lets say your device is Rooted,You have to install T.W.R.P.

Download image file of TWRP :- http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65199538&postcount=69

Flash the image file by Rashr orFlashify app.

If you don't know how to use these apps then ask me

3)Now T.W.R.P is installed on ur phone.Now you are ready to flash a custom rom like CM 12.1

4) Dowload the ROM you want to and put it in external sd card.

5)Go to T.W.R.P recovery by hardare key combo.

Vo up +Power+Home

6)Take backup of your current ROM.

If some thing goes wrong ,then you can restore your stock ROM

7)Flash the ROM as instructed by the ROM devs.

Hoping it will help you.

I'm on CM 13 nightlies and loving it! The one thing that is killing me is no advanced calling. I'm often talking on the phone and using gps/maps, or trying to pull up emails while on a conversation.

It's almost a dealbreaker, but I hate to go back to stock. Is my only option to flash computerfreek-modded-stock?

i'd be so sad to leave marshmallow and this is pushing me to want a pixel (updates + volte)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
Yes. Been discussed lots of times. For now, that's your only option until it gets figured out. No Verizon devices -- except Gogle Nexus and Pixel -- have custom ROMs with VoLTE/Advanced Calling/whatever you want to call it.

[MENTION=7109882]iiWoodstocK[/MENTION] says he heard Moto Victara (2014 Moto X) may have it with CM13. See

here for Reddit comments making that claim

. If so, that is the only Verizon-branded device (not made/sold by Google) which has that feature.

Point is, this problem is not limited to the Verizon Droid Turbo. It's not something that can easily be turned on/turned off. As we explained many, many times elsewhere, there's something also on the carrier side.

On the other hand, I've always had simultaneous data/calling on my phones, but then I don't use Verizon.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tikonux:
So I've transferred Pure Nexus 7.0 custom ROM and it's other files (Vendor, GApps) a number of times to my phone via ADB to TWRP Recovery and noticed it occupied "Other" space in my storage, about 1.80 GB after flashing them for the third time. With that said, I can't find them with the any file explorer even with an option like "Show Hidden Files". I want to know, is it possible to free up ALL space on the device when flashing a factory image?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultyrunner:
Depends what you flash and reset. If you do a full factory reset, all userdata including storage will be wiped. If you don't flash the userdata partition (not a good idea) and you don't wipe, your storage remains intact. If you aren't rooted, you can't access some partitions.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tikonux:
I am rooted. Just for future reference, how can I free up my whole storage?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultyrunner:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tikonux:
Full factory reset from the recovery? If that includes wiping out system, dalvik cache, etc. that's what I did and I still have that space occupied from the .zip and .img files from installing Pure Nexus ROM.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultyrunner:
You seem confused. If you put the files there before you formatted userdata then you didn't format it. If you put the files there after formatting userdata, then why would they be gone after you flashed them? From TWRP, you also need to wipe internal storage to fully wipe your phone. You clearly need to read Heisenberg's guide.
