[Note 7 Questions & Answers] redsurfbus:
It needs to be made by another company. I am personally done with Samsung. I am using my old note 4 as a stop gap as I have no choice.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] nomailx:
I don't get why people are against the Edge Screen. I mean, isn't it way easier to place your hand near an edge screen to have a more comfortabel time to write with a Stylus? Also the edge screen gives more grip, and makes the phone look smaller while the screen is way larger. And don't forget the look and design of the phone is way more neat and slick with edged screen.

Can you please explain why you'd rather have a flat screen which obviously includes metal or plastic borders, looks terrible, and is mostly uncomfortable. (The edge Screen is why I bought a Samsung Phone).
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
Oh I see.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Belimawr:
the design looks nice, but adds little use, it distorts a lot of screen round the edges and makes finding good quality screen protectors near impossible. so if I bought a phone purely as a fashion accessory I would absolutely want the edge screen, but in a practical sense the flat screen is just so much better, it's harder to catch the edges while holding the phone, you don't get distortion due to most apps wrapping the edge and you can get good quality glass screen protectors without having to put up with compromises such as glue only being on the top and bottom.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] nomailx:
I'll agree that the edge, while really looks great, is not very useful. Never used the Edge apps, and don't find them effective.

Maybe in the future they will find someway to make it more useful...
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jonboyuk:
I'm hedging my bets here, but I kinda have a feeling the Note is dead and the S8+ will have a stylus. Sadly I'm stuck with my Note 3 until it's announced in February. Ugh.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
Yep.

---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 PM ----------

Mmmm. Remember the S8 is already past the R&D stage, the S9 would be well underway and a small team are already working toward the S10. From concept to owner can take some time, the logistics alone in moving vast numbers of pieces then assembly not to mention distribution afterward is incredible.

I guess, I don't know, it may be possible to part salvage the Note 7 and re-brand it as the S8 plus? In doing that though all the R&D of the S8 would have been time and money wasted? Who knows.

I want my Note back! Waaaaaaaaaaaah:(

Ryland

Nice to be thinking of the future though. :o:good:
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jdyowa:
I love the curved edges and the beautiful screen. I really don't see any need for glass on the back. I've never understood why people ***** about plastic and then put a plastic case on it, so who cares. Iris scanner is the best thing to ever happen to a phone. The only thing I would change is make a thing a little fatter, free up space by making something smaller and then put a bigger battery in it. Two days use or at least a full day with fairly heavy use. Wouldn't that be great? It seems apple keeps setting the standards by making thinner and thinner phones, while battery life could've been amazing years ago by just not shrinking it down so much. 2mm of thickness ain't ****. Leave it on there and add battery. Other than...that more speakers. And maybe a fireproof case. :)

Haha, I'm in my 30s but I don't care. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah I want mine back too. :crying::crying::crying:
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BozQ:
The Edge screen does nothing for me too. If there was a Note 7 without the Edge screen, I'd have easily gone for that instead.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Novarider:
The edge screen forces me to use a case. If I don't use a case part of my hand touch the edges and messes with whatever I'm trying to do. I am NOT getting an s7 edge as a replacement specifically because of the edge screen.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
I find it bizarre people who feel like this would have surrendered it in the first place. Unless you need to fly with your phone every week, I guess.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] pyraxiate:
Or the same reason I did. Once the recall is finished, you are out of luck on an $800 device if / when it fails. I don't want an expensive paperweight and I work too damn hard for my money to take an $800 loss. Also, I have small children that I let play with my phone to keep occupied while out of the house. I don't even want to take .000000000000001% of a chance of something I did hurting my kids.

That said, I loved my note 7 and wish Samsung found a way to recall the bad batches only. Meantime, I'm stuck with the s7Edge. Closest thing on the market to the N7 but still doesn't fill the void.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
Who said anything about keeping it beyond the recall period? You could have hung on to it for a while yet.

And I understand about the kids thing, but honestly, you take more risk with your kids every time you drive them anywhere. People seem to have lost all sense of perspective about this imho.

Still, it's a personal choice and I respect it. I am not criticising.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] chavist:
IR blaster...so miss my remote
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] pyraxiate:
Risk is everywhere....yes. Would you take an intentional risk though when it comes to your kids? Also, I was told once the recall was complete, the 1 year mfr warranty would be void and non existent as Samsung recalled ALL note 7. I'm not sure how much time I'd have had left hanging onto it.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
As above, who said anything about keeping it beyond the recall period. I won't be.

And regards kids, you make it sound like playing with a loaded revolver. I might remind you that there have been ZERO deaths or serious injuries caused by the 4m Note 7's. So if in your 1 in 20,000 chance, your phone gets too hot, catches fire even, and you put it down and go "oh look my phone's smoking". It's hardly russian roulette. Again, some perspective is appropriate I think.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jonboyuk:
Maybe so, but I don't want a device that all support has been cut from. No Nougat. Possibly another 60% battery limitation. If I dropped it, I wouldn't be getting a replacement. Oh, and it might burn up.

Hassle I don't want, so not bizarre at all to me.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
See the above posts.

Just responding to your post and giving my 5 cents. Generally the basis of any discussion.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] teegunn:
I'd rather have a nice plastic back for the removable battery and so it doesn't interfere with any of the signals like metal. Best option IMO is a nice plastic back cover. That can be sealed to be IP68 BTW, doesn't have to mean we lose that just because we have a removable plastic back cover.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SidneyD:
After having a great deal of trouble getting my phone unlocked I've decided to post a short how-to in the hopes that I'll save some people from the same aggravation.

This was on stock Samsung ROM, and of course your IMEI must be clean. You will also need an active SIM card from another GSM carrier that can do LTE/4G.

First, go to the AT&T Device Unlock Portal and go through the steps. I didn't enter my real name. It's an automated system that will email you the unlock code.

You should get an email from AT&T fairly soon. It will have a link to check the status. Follow the link and if the status is complete you'll be shown the unlock code for your phone. Write it down if you're viewing this from the phone.

Shutdown your phone, open it up, remove the battery, and AT&T SIM. Put non-AT&T SIM in, replace battery and close it up.

Boot your phone and you should be prompted to enter the unlock code.

If the code works, then it will take you to the home screen and in the status bar it should not say there's an invalid SIM.

If the code does not work, then hit dismiss and do the following:

Dial *#197328640#

Tap the following: [1] UMTS > [1] Debugging screen > [8] Phone Control > [6] NETWORK LOCK

Tap [2] Perso Sha256 ON, and wait about 30 seconds

Reboot the phone.

You should be prompted for the unlock code again. Enter it and it should work this time (you should not see an invalid SIM icon in the status bar).

I'm anything but a phone expert so if these steps did not work for you, then I probably cannot help you, sorry.

[Touch CDMA General] Jack Everyman:
So Google is currently offering a beta version of the GPS Emulation software in the latest Google maps. My problem is that I can't get it to work with my Sprint Touch (Vogue), I keep getting a "Your location is currently unavailable" message. A co-worker of mine is able to get the My Location feature to work on his Blackberry. I was wondering if sprint is blocking this part of the software. Any insight into this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Edit: Yeah sorry my location is Chicago, IL and my carrier is Sprint. Apparently it works on the regular touch so maybe a different ROM would fix it. According to Google the reason My location isn't working is because "The device is not reporting a cell". Now I haven't got a clue what that means, so if someone more knowledgeable has any idea any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Touch CDMA General] EliteXen:
Hasn't worked for me either in the Baltimore <-> DC area. I'm assuming Sprint is blocking it.

If you do get it working report your general area and cell provider.
[Touch CDMA General] Insoc:
The GPS feature of the Sprint Touch has not been activated yet, offcially.

Unless I am misunderstanding your questions... It won't work until GPS is turned on...
[Touch CDMA General] EliteXen:
This services uses Cell Tower Triangulation when GPS is not available...SO it should still work
[Touch CDMA General] Jack Everyman:
As well sprint does list the Touch as one of the phones that works with their Family Locator software. So...

I'm on Bell in Canada, the GPS locating didn't work for me but I did get an automated call from Bell the other day welcoming me to their service, the message also mentioned that my "phone has a global positioning chip that will help locate you in a case of emergency"

So we need to figure out how to unlock GPS. I heard Sprint will be providing an update that unlocks it sometime soon, but that doesn't help me

I have a Htc Touch with Telus, and because GPS is disable for now, I was able to configure a External gps receiver with Google Maps mobile. Works very good.

Google Maps

The locator in Google maps doesnt have anything to do with GPS. I have sprint with the touch in Utah and mine doesnt work either.
[Touch CDMA General] bobaka:
The google maps locator is based on cellphone tower triangulation and it seems to be not compatible with sprint at this time. I 'think' microsoft is working on this with sprint for live search too ... someone in livesearch told me the other day "I can't tell you what we're working on but we've got more new things coming (for livesearch)" when I mentioned it.
[Touch CDMA General] bobaka:
..cont

It's a nifty idea and free but it's not all that accurate... like a few blocks to a mile or more.

I don't know about you but when I'm in my car I can usually tell you where I am within a mile or so without the help of a satellite or other electronic devices.
[Touch CDMA General] Jack Everyman:
If the live search rumor is true that is great, but my interest in this is not to know where I am, but to know what is around me.
[Touch CDMA General] fowen:
I don't this this technology will work with Sprint or Verizon because of the way CDMA works. Maybe in the future but not now.

Sprint, Microsoft roll out location-based Live Search

Posted Sep 18th 2007 12:02PM by Donald Melanson

Filed under: Software, Sprint

It looks like Sprint users now have a few more search options at their disposal, with the carrier and Microsoft announcing today that Live Search will now automatically take the users' location into consideration. Apparently, the service makes use of cell-tower triangulation, and not GPS, to determine the users location, making it somewhat less accurate but far more widely available. What's more, the pair also announced a new voice search feature that'll work with five of Sprint's high end phones, including the Samsung a900 and a920, the Motorola Razr, the Sanyo 840 and the LG 550. As you can probably guess, it will let you speak search terms instead of typing them in, with it also giving you the option to press a button to call the business you're searching for. While Sprint is getting all Microsoft's attention at the moment, the company is quick to point out that the service is not exclusive, and "could become available via other operators in the future."

[Touch CDMA General] touchbell:
I'm on Bell Mobility in Ottawa, Canada (Village of Carp) and "Your current location is temporarily unavailable" shows up for me too. I have the Vogue and blazing 1 Mbps speed. I'm opening up Google Maps every time I go out and hit 0 trying to get the towers more input. What is the word on Bell and Google Maps, am I doing this for nothing? Greater Ottawa has a population of 1 million, is Canada's capital and, therefore, should be a large dot! Mind you, best we stay hidden from nukes I guess.... :rolleyes: :p
[Touch CDMA General] thefish123:
I am in the GHBOA - Greater Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville Area (anyone who lives here will think that’s funny) and also on Bell Mobility and I am getting the same “Your current location is temporarily unavailable” message.

I double-checked to make sure that my location service was turned on. My understanding from what I have read is that Google Maps will:

A) Use true GPS if present and show a blue dot to represent approximate location.

B) Fall back to tower triangulation if GPS is not available and show a blue dot with a light blue “halo” around it to represent approximate location.

On top of that I think we have also established in another tread on this board that the Vogue does indeed have a true GPS receiver inside but we are waiting in a firmware upgrade to enable it. In the meantime however the approximate location service using tower triangulation should work.

Perhaps GSM and CDMA networks report tower triangulation information differently and perhaps Google Maps only knows how to use the GSM info??? I have no idea if that makes sense but we CDMA folks do seem to get the short end of the stick a lot :-)
[Touch CDMA General] thefish123:
I have a crazy idea that I want to “air” here and see what others think. Could it be that the Google Maps “My Location” feature doesn’t work on the Vogue because the Vogue has a real GPS receiver that is currently disabled?

I am thinking this because I did the following:

Start > Settings > System > External GPS > Access

There I disabled the “Manage GPS automatically”. This feature apparently gives Windows control of the GPS receiver and Windows marshals which programs can access it.

I then reset Google Maps and tried “Menu > Use GPS”. This resulted in “Initializing GPS” for a few minutes after which I got a message saying my GPS receiver wasn’t responding.

However I then went back into Start > Settings > System > External GPS > Access and re-enabled the “Manage GPS automatically” feature. I then went back into Google Maps (after resetting it again) and tried “Menu > Use GPS”. This time it resulted in a “Seeking GPS satellites (0)” message that never seemed to stop and never reported an error message.

So, my thinking is that perhaps Google Maps knows there is a physical GPS receiver in the Vogue and is trying to talk to it indefinitely and as a result is not falling back to tower-triangulation mode. Because the GPS is present but not enabled in the firmware Google Maps knows it is there but isn’t getting the appropriate response that would cause it to give up on GPS and switch to “tower” mode.

Just a thought... Does this sound reasonable to anyone?
[Touch CDMA General] touchbell:
That's exactly what I observed and thought as well, but people tell me I need more cell users to use GMaps for tower input. I'm beginning to think that's not the case, too many other reports of "unavailable" in highly populated areas. The Vogue just CAN'T do it on Bell CDMA. :( Has there been ANY positive reports with this box and CDMA? Nope... :eek:
[Touch CDMA General] thefish123:
I think we may just have to wait for that firmware upgrade that’s supposed to enable EVDO Rev A as well as the GPS.

At least this confirms that Google Maps behavior is modified by the GPS settings in Windows. It apparently “thinks” it is talking to a GPS receiver when you enable it on the Windows side. Assuming my theory is right maybe Google will come up with an update that lets the user specify to use tower-triangulation all the time regardless of the presence of a GPS or not.
[Touch CDMA General] tobeychris:
Help

If you open up google maps, goto options > help > about, then scroll all the way to the bottom it will tell you if mylocations will work on your device. Apparently no one on a touch can get it to work and they should all say:

myl: N/A

why? I have no idea.
[Touch CDMA General] PaNa-S:
I don't have a Vogue, but I do have a Samsung i760(cdma phone also), and I notice the same thing. I was told this is due to VZW blocking this feature because they want you to their navigation service. I am assume bell, sprint and Altell(if someone can chime in) also have this disabled so you can use their nav service.
