[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] tazbo28:
Heres a couple of choices for those that arent sure what to do.

A) If you returned your old device to ATT per the Next agreement. You may be able to have the Next agreement nullified. You can then purchase a $20 unlocked phone for temp use until next year. Or whenever the next 'superphone' comes out. All the best upgrades are probably happening next year anyhow.

B) If you did NOT return your old device, and sold it for cash, or passed it along to family - you can choose to "upgrade" to the cheapest possible phone (<$99 i believe) and pay it off cash all at once. This would let you have the upgrade available again, immediately for your next superphone.

Either way, you have options. One thing about the first one, you have to really haggle them to get out of the Next agreement. Stick to your guns, as the conditions of that situation mean you aren't owing ATT anything at the moment, and thus shouldn't be forced into purchasing a phone.

My 2 cents.
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] svache:
I'd like to think there's a few more options, such as those who paid their old devices off and kept it, they can get a refund on the Note 7 for what they paid so far and go back to their old device with the upgrade available for when they see a new phone of their liking, This is what I'll be doing once ATT or Samsung sends us notifications about the recall (because, so far, it's "strongly recommended" but voluntary to do so).
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
I bought the AT&T Note 7 on installments which I guess put me on the "Next" plan. Then I sold the Note 7 on eBay.

Anything cool for me to be able to take advantage of?
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] svache:
Why would you do that? :confused:
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] tazbo28:
LOL seriously tho, what was the point in upgrading then? You keep 800 or so bucks but pay massive interest in payments to att. Just to be clear the Next plan just rolls the subsidies of the phone into the plan. You wind up paying almost double the cost of the device over the course of the payment period, unless you upgrade in one year. In which case your still paying nearly the full cost of the phone in installments.
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] Phlip00ws6:
I did the BOGO and sold the free one on eBay.. so if I return the one I have I'll no longer get the bogo deal and they'll want the device payments for the other.. so not sure what to do.
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] svache:
If you sold that free one for as much as the Note 7 costs retail, you're basically not losing much if you keep your phone. I know it aint fun considering you didn't make any profit out of it, but you could always just pay off the plan in full at this point. You just keep that phone in that case and are out of a contract/plan. You could always stop using the Note 7 then, and get into a new plan. Either way, there's no reason to take a loss at this point :)
[Sprint Note 7  Questions & Answers] TechShui:
This has been an absolute nightmare for me, I just want my recalled one replaced.

The way I see it, sprint should replace my Note 7 (blue LED, first model).

Because a 2nd recall hasn't even happened. Plus, I know for a fact from hearing anecdotes from people with Customer Care and here on XDA that some store have extra Note 7's because people opted to get their replacements sent in the mail instead.

As of today are sprint stores absolutely refusing to replace anything?

This doesn't make sense, until a 2nd recall happens, shouldn't customers get to decide for themselves whether they want to tough it out? I realize the 2nd recall may happen tomorrow or even the next day, but it hasn't happened YET.

If anyone got theirs replaced yesterday or even today, can you give some feedback on the where and how? Corporate Store maybe?

Thanks in advance,

TechShui
[Sprint Note 7  Questions & Answers] nosympathy:
https://twitter.com/sprintnews/status/785649415100960768

being that the carriers are demanding it be returned, CPSA is demanding they be returned and Samsungs own website is saying the only option is to return for another device, you probably have 0 chance of getting one.

I ran into the same problem with the original batch. Ordered for pickup the day before the recall, showed up and the sprint dude had left without calling me, couldn't even cancel the order and go elsewhere as he had to cancel it. After leaving pissed off, recall happened and they wouldn't give it to me, even though per their systems I already paid for the phone and it was mine. So order was cancelled and I had to wait. If they wouldn't let me have the phone that was technically mine after even talking with sprint corporate, no way are they going to exchange one now.
[Sprint Note 7  Questions & Answers] BiggieD:
* *When Samsung says it's putting an end to the Galaxy Note 7 for good, it's not making any exceptions; the company has*confirmed to*Motherboard*that there are no plans to repair or refurbish a single recalled device. Every Note 7 that Samsung receives back will be scrapped.*“We have a process in place to safely dispose of the phones,” a spokesperson said.

Earlier today, Samsung*adjusted its third quarter profit estimates*to account for over $2 billion in losses — a direct result of the Note 7 recall saga. But as*Motherboard's*story explains, the environment will almost certainly pay a more significant cost. Samsung manufactured over 2 million Note 7s, and inefficient smartphone recycling practices make the difficult-to-mine rare earth elements and other components irrecoverable.*“These are all very expensive in terms of the environmental impact, but also in the lives they impact to mine them," iFixit CEO*Kyle Wiens told*Motherboard.

Samsung hasn't expanded on exactly what its disposal process for the Note 7 entails, but environment-minded organizations like Greenpeace might urge the company to be transparent about the way it disposes of so many smartphones over the coming weeks and months. The company issues a sustainability report, but hasn't yet factored the Note 7 recall into those figures. Note 7 customers are receiving*fireproof return boxes*for safe transport of recalled (and potentially hazardous) units back to the company; the boxes can only be shipped via ground courier services and are forbidden from being transported by aircraft.
[Sprint Note 7  Questions & Answers] autogeek:
You won't see a second recall as it just being called an expansion.

http://www.samsung.com/us/note7recall/

I get it sucks, but its not that bad for you... its a nightmare for samsung and the people that have had their phones explode.
[Sprint Note 7  Questions & Answers] bsg411:
Tuffing it out is not even worth the remote risk. Furthermore sprint nor Samsung wants to risk liability. I wouldn't be surprised if Samsung or sprint eventually sends a self executing software update to disable the phone completely
[Sprint Note 7  Questions & Answers] TechShui:
I don't think they will take it that far, several people I know are still using theirs without issues.

How/when did this phone become a guaranteed fire hazard? If 30 blow up out of 14+ million devices?

If they were going to push an OTA killer wouldn't they have done so by now? I have however, given up hope of ever getting a replacement. I'm hoping if I wait maybe Sprint will offer a better phone than the S7 edge.

Has anyone been given the option of another, non-samsung phone as a replacement yet?

Anyone heard of these devices? Mattel just acquired Fuhu/Nabi recently, and now that they're at the helm they thought doing a repeat of the Barbie/Hot Wheels PCs would be golden for them:

The specs are rather vague, though they're typical for a low-end tab, i.e. quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage. I was just wondering if there's anyone who got their hands on these devices and hacked/debloated them for the lulz.

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] GuestK00119:
Hey everyone,

i've noticed, that this has been discussed before, but i've found only a thread in the kaiser forums and there seems to be no solution for this:

I'm using a plantronics discovery 665 headset with the Artemis on meschle's touch rom 3.01 and the sound quality (especially for the those I've called) is really bad. They always say, that they hardly hear me. In the kaiser forums they say it's possibly a hardware issue, or that it has something to do with bt 2.0. I was using a plantronics explorer 350 headset before with the original wm5 ROM and it worked just fine. I tried the new headset yesterday with a 'normal' nokia cell phone and the quality was excellent. So it's neither a problem with the headset, nor a problem with the Artemis itself (I think).

I played a bit with schap's advanced configuration tool to change the sample rate, using joint stereo or not, changing bit pool size, but nothing seems to make a difference. I don't want to downgrade to an older ROM (or the original one) because I think meschle's ROM is just great! And I don't even know, if it would help ('cause now I have only the WM6 version of the original ROM, and maybe it's a WM6 problem?!).

If someone has any experience with this issue, knows if an other ROM will do the trick, or have a solution for this problem, that would be great!
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] GuestK00119:
WM5, the better software?

ok guys,

as nobody seemed to have an answer or a similar problem, i've tested all ROMs i could find, and the last one, the oldest one, the original WM5 ROM worked for me/my headset. the quality now is as good as it should be! it's frustrating to use this again after using meschles ROM extensivly, but it's still a phone and every now and then i want to use it's phone-function as well! ;)

maybe someone has an explanation for this?! is it really a WM6 issue? (the original ROM WM6 didn't work either)
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] scws1:
WM6?

I'm also thinking it's a WM6 issues. No problems b4 I upgrade to Meschele's Touch 2.1. Btw Touch 2.1 works great!!!

I absolutely love UAG cases. I had one on my retired HTC One M7 and wish it was available for every phone. I'm hoping that if people bug the heck out of UAG, they just might decide to make a case for the HTC 10. Please take a few minutes and tell them you want them to offer an option for the HTC 10!

[HTC 10 Accessories] tkoreaper:
I wouldn't get your hopes up, I've never seen them produce a case for a phone they never initially supported.

If you're looking for something similar, try this:

Supcase has been my go-to casemaker for 2 years now.
[HTC 10 Accessories] tkoreaper:
I wouldn't compare that Suppose to UAG because it's much more bulky and closer to an interior. Supcase has been my favorite since the time I had my Nexus 5 and UAG didn't make a case for it, but this is the first time Supcase didn't make the beetle hybrid for a phone they support. The beetle hybrid is much better than the UAG case and the Beetle Pro.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyking33:
Long and short of it is a company replaced a shattered screen. Then, the new screen began to peel away and then the connection became so bad that the screen is not functional. I just get a blank screen. I need to rip all of that data off the old phone so I can back it up and put it on a new phone (courtesy of the company that replaced the screen).

Here's where it gets tricky. The USB connection mode is charge only. I need to set it to MTP, but can't because the screen has lost all functionality. Without MTP, neither Android File Transfer nor Smart switch can't connect to the phone. I think Sidesync would work, but I can't install it on my phone.

An MHL cable won't help because it mirrors what is on the screen, but I can't select anything....

Are there any tricks out there that can help me before I have to send the old phone back in?

Thanks in advance!

If you have already bricked one, you'd be better off waiting for the update to arrive(next time you might not be able to get it replaced) nearly all the regions have been released for 33.2.A.3.81 and 33.2.A.2.93 has good battery life anyway. The xa forum is far from dead and we have a great guy who has prepared root packs for all the xa models including the ultra and xa models he doesn't own, he's also trying to compile cm for the xa.

If you must use flashtool only leave out simlock.ta part of the ftf(Inc this will hard brick it only Sony can fix it) and ONLY USE flashtool in simple mode

Hi Everyone,

I've owned my XT1064 for a little over a year, and it's been serving me well for this whole time. Today, on the bus, my audio randomly cut when I was listening to music through my headphones and the sound stopped. I noticed that the music had been paused so I hit play and the sound started playing through my speakers. I was really surprised because my headphones were still plugged in. Now, I have to put my headphones in at a weird angle or not all the way to get any sound, and even then the sound is very bad. I looked up the issue and I saw it was a problem with many other Motorola devices. Does anyone have any ideas as to how this can be fixed? I really depend on my headphones to listen to music and watch movies without disturbing others. Thanks!
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hetpepijntje:
It's a common problem because the jack is placed in the center of the phone.

Hi everyone I been researching on how to root my oppo R9 plus (x9079) also known as Oppo F1 plus in other countries . So as I have figured out as it doesn't have a bootloader from the factory. So the only way to install (update. Zip) is the through the stock recovery which need the manufacturer signature key.

As I used ES file manager and when through some files /etc/security/otacerts.zip

Inside the otacerts.zip is local_OTA.x509.pem

So that's part of the signature however I'd believe I still need the other file (.pk8 )

Is there anyway we can create the (pk8) based on the (.pem) . Also there Is mac permission. XML

Hey guys!

So I am not new to the android community at all but i am new to the android tv community. I bought a Xiaomi Mibox 3 from my local walmart and it must be a different one than all the others people are posting about. (Model # MDZ-16-AB) This one supports 4k and HDR and also has Google Cast built in. It runs Android 6.0.1 as of right now.

So i wanted to know how to root it so i can add the playstation 3/4 controller to it, which needs root.

I want some more info as far as rooting and roming.

Will there be any thread to this device specifically (kinda like my nexus 6p)?

Thanks for any info

I don't think the prospects for rooting it are all that great right now. Apparently locked bootloader. The Mi controller is $30 and works well. So do, reportedly, xbox, controllers.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fnotaro:
I have a Verizon Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900V) that I recently rooted and installed Temasek Build V12.1 (Android 6.0.1). On the stock ROM I connected to a Grom Audio adapter. The adapter used bluetooth for phone calls and I connected through the USB cable for everything else. I use Doggcatcher for podcasts, Google Play Music, Amazon Music, Pandora, Spotify, Google Maps and Waze. All of these apps worked great on my stock ROM. I could say "Ok Google" into the Grom Audio adapter's microphone. Everything was good.

When I installed the custom ROM, everything changed. I cannot stay connected to the Grom for much more than 30 seconds through the USB port. I am forced to connect through bluetooth. Unfortunately, bluetooth only connects when the phone is set to play audio. I cannot speak "Ok Google" into the microphone unless the phone is already playing audio through the Grom.

I believe the connection problem I'm having is with Android M, not Temasek or CM. I have fooled around with the USB settings in Developer Options, but the phone disconnects and defaults back to USB Charging mode. I love this ROM, but I miss they way my stock ROM connected to my GROM.

Any suggestions?

Recently I installed CM-13 on my One Plus X with TWRP but now when I try installing OxygenOS 3.1.3 via TWRP its giving an error stating zip is corrupted which is not the case but still I re-downloaded the OTA and tried again but still same error. Upon googling found that OxygenOS cannot be installed via TWRP but is that true? Some say that is is possible, please can someone guide me how to install the OxygenOS 3.1.3? Any help would be highly appreciated!

If you are using official TWRP then after installing the oos 3.1.3 it should be gone.

So its better to flash oos stock recovery and just flash the oos 3.1.3. after that you can use bluspark modified TWRP recovery.

And yes you can flash oos 3.1.3 by twrp.

Which version of TWRP you are using??

when you flashing the zip, Is it show something like that "This package is for ONEPLUS BUT YOUR IS ONE"
