[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ccsuk:
Can i please get some advice? (sorry a bit long but thought i need to provide the background info).

I have been given a Samsung Note 7 as a compensation-related gift by my network operator Vodafone and to cut a very long story short i have almost exhausted all possibilities with Vodafone and Samsung to get it exchanged for a different model or a credit.

I am currently looking at the possibilities of keeping my Note 7 if i feel i can assess (and possibly repair) it privately to confirm the safety implications and any other issues that may come up.

My questions are as follows:

1.	Has anyone had success changing the Imei and model number? The reason is to protect myself from network barring and to retain app support. I have a previous Note and can use the imei. My plan was to change the model to G935F that of an S7 Edge. (There are some sites i came across but I wasn’t sure the guides were tested)

2.	Can i root it and will i be able to update it regularly from core android?

3.	Will the Wifi-calling feature work? Sounds like a small thing but its quite important. I have this feature on my Note 7 already and activated on my account and its very useful to me.

I live in the UK and I am an Engineer by trade. I worked for a cellular phone repair centre a number of years ago that specialised with Samsung and Nokia phones.

Whilst i have some experience and contacts in the industry, my knowledge of the current software/ firmware platforms on the market is limited so i would greatly appreciate any advice you can give.

Thanks in advance
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] sonhy:
not too sure about how you would transplant the hardcoded iemi number mate... are uk note 7s actually confirmed being banned?

You can root it and from that you can add features from the xposed library that will surely extend the life of your note 7 for years.. by which time the note 8 should be out in some form.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] The Phone Company:
I read on maybe this site, or another, that someone had their Note 7 thinking it was the S7 yet still fully functioning as a Note 7 (Grace UI, etc)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ccsuk:
Thanks for info. I'm not sure if they will fully inforce a ban but the procedure for returning the n7's is pretty much the same, minus the fire proof boxes (read into that what you like). I want to see what needs to be put in place if they do.

Any idiots guide for rooting and where to download files would be appreciated.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ccsuk:
If you do that would be great.

I'm trying to stoke up some support in the uk to appeal to Samsung to at least reassess the n7's already out there but there's only a few interested. I believe there is more support in the US which may provide a much stronger case.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] The Phone Company:
The official release date in the UK for the Note 7 was next week, October 28th, which ironically was the same date as the Note 2 release, Note Edge release and Galaxy View release, just different years.

Call me crazy, I recognize a pattern here.

I am a serious Note user, so instead of following the crowd I will either consider the LARGE 18.4" Galaxy View or the 6" Curved Screen Huawei Mate 9. Hmmm, Mate, Note?

For some strange reason there aren't many Samsung Stylus Devices available, can't find the Note Pro 12.2 on sale anywhere. Something is definitely up. All I know is I feel sorry for those Pixel, iPhone 7, V20 blinded sheeple.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BozQ:
What's their reason for refusing to exchange?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ccsuk:
Samsung can't help because I didn't buy it direct and Vodafone said it was giving to me as a gift and not linked to my account so I need to deal with Samsung. I know this sounds ludicrous but Vodafone are a nightmare and I was ready to book myself into rehab after the effects of previous issues. I could take this up with an ombudsman but it takes time and I'm not sure I have the energy.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] CerveCesar:
The recall is voluntary. Do not believe those people who say your IMEI will be blocked or barred. It will only be blocked if the phone was purchased in a payment plan and You fail to return it. Or if You fail to keep the payments. The recall is absolutely VOLUNTARY. Do not be afraid. Many of us are keeping the phone, because we know the risk is now minimal.

All electronics have the possibility to fail. All batteries have the risk of catching fires. This risk is a lot greater when the device begins their lifecycle. So now the risk is minimal. Samsung did not take "probability" into consideration before sending those replacement phones. Meaning if you had 50 in 2 million to catch fire with the original. Now you had 50+30* of catching fire in the replacement. (*More o Less)

Samsung has a great opportunity to collect data and usage information with us. Otherwise if people panic they will just scrap the Note Series all together.

Good Luck! ?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] SaschaHa:
In short: No you can't change your IMEI, but that is not needed. If you don't want Samsung to directly know that your device is a Note 7, you need to change your device name in build.prop (but to do this you need root) and to deactivate software updates.

But I recommend you to not use the device. Samsung may not release any software updates, and the risk of exploding is still there. Even if the risk is very small, it can happen at any time, and the more time you spend with this device, the bigger is the risk.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ccsuk:
Thanks for your reply SaschaHa. I am just weighing up my options while waiting for a reply from Samsung hq. If i was use it I would be after I had assessed it internally.

Although Samsung wont provide updates will I be able to semi - regularly update it manually from stock? Eg nougat 7 was originally in the pipeline for the n7.

Also would wifi - calling get carried over/ integrated in the build?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ccsuk:
Thanks CerveCesar for your advice. How will you be upgrading your roms ie to nougat 7 etc?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] SaschaHa:
You only can update it manually if some rom developers port firmwares from other Samsung devices to the Note 7 (if Samsung doesn't release updates). But that mostly is only possible for the same Android version, so there might never be a Nougat rom for Note 7. So then the only possibility to get a newer Android version is to use a AOSP / CM(14) based rom, if a developer created one for the Note 7. But without proper drivers by Samsung, that's difficult. And I think, the most developers are going to use other devices instead of risking a burning N7.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] CerveCesar:
I'm staying factory. I did not disable the 80% battery option because we ran a study and found overcharging to be 1 of 3 factors in starting fires. If Samsung sends the Nougat update, then I will just update. The customs ROMs I'm not a big fan of, because it seem one always looses some cool feature like heart monitor, Samsung Pay or scanner. I got a Note 3 that I plan to use as my flying phone and my Note 7 will be my daily driver
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ccsuk:
Do you mean 60% battery limitation update? Fyi I spoke with a samsung rep today that had called into one of the stores, he believes there is a kill type update coming to force customers hands. I have the 1st addition (non batt update) so if I was to keep it I would have to root. As mentioned wifi calling is also an issue. Samsungs got a lot to answer for ditching such a great device and one that can be repaired :confused:
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] CerveCesar:
Unless they have a Sprint Note 7 60% otherwise you can bump up to 80% charge. I recommend you get advise from an Engineer rather than a Sales Rep

I no longer have the pictures but click:

1.- Settings

2.- Device Maintenance

3.- Battery Icon

4.- Advanced Settings Menu

5.- Disable the "Limit maximum charge to 60%" tab

?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BozQ:
I just want to be clear about something. You guys are from the UK, yes?

Is the recall not the same as the US or elsewhere where the recall is mandatory and not voluntary?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] CerveCesar:
I'm not from the UK however I did purchase the Singapore (Same as UK) version and I'm using it on ATT Mexico.

Please refer to the Voluntary recall at: http://www.samsung.com/us/note7recall/

As of today the recall is only mandatory in Germany. Note 7 is banned on all flights in the US and part of Mexico. The mandatory recall will take time as the Consumer Product Safety Commission has to run a full investigation on the matter
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ccsuk:
I am
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BozQ:
Hello from Singapore then.

I suppose you're keeping your unit then.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ccsuk:
You seem to be overly-sensitive regarding the N7. I wasn't questioning whether you were correct stating 80% it was a question for advise since those I've come across in the UK refer to it as the 60% update and I was interested to whether you had the 2nd device.

Re the engineer point he was a samsung rep visiting a service centre not a sales outlet. I thought you would be interested. Should we not be prepared?

I appreciate & admire your confidence with keeping the n7. I also feel very strongly about keeping it and think it ticked all the boxes. I even started a website to rally support in the UK but there was very few takers, most more interested in compensation and slating Samsung.

Where I believe I differ is that I want to be able to use the n7 to its full capacity or at least 95%, I don't want to be forced into a corner. So I wanted some recognition that the % is low. Although I realised they wouldn't back track on their statement to perminantly stop production they may consider an appeal to resolve the issue for people with n7s, those that will wait until tests are concluded.

Whilst I'm not claiming to be an expert in this field since I am a number of years out of date one of the theories I had (which is partially back up by an article on cnet) is that is was not necessarily the just battery itself at fault but the pressure and heat from a small form factor. Li-on batteries were just starting when I was in the industry and working indirectly for Nokia and samsung I notice the care that was taken in the storage and testing of these batteries.

Overtime in or out of the device with heat build up they would naturally swell but most of the time this was unnoticeable to the eye.

Aside from the technology the n7 boasts I was impressed with the preorder specs of the device and particularly the dimensions considering the screen size and battery.

All this has been going through my mind and I'm trying to piece things together to make a decision I'm happy with.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] schafxp:
Hello, i have noticed, that, when I focus an object with touching on the screen, the object becomes unsharp and blured. With the auto-focus it is most times sharp.

That means, that touch is buggy - Can anybody confirm this issue ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] JohnTheFarm3r:
Working fine on my phone with the same ROM.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziadmamo:
Hello there,

I have LG G4 H815 marshmallow 6.0 with bootloader unlocked, the screen was broken so I had to change it.

After changing the screen, whenever I call OR I have incoming call, I can't hear the speaker, sometime he can't hear me.

I checked the mic in recording its works fine, but only in calling.

Please help me
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowsDie:
have you tried switching to loudspeaker while in call? im guessing your loudspeaker works but you've broken your earpiece speaker
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziadmamo:
Yes I have, loudspeaker during in call it works well.

only problem is: when I call or receive a call., the microphone in call(the people can't hear me).
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] absulutebeginner:
In the call settings turn off

- Hearing aids

- Voice clarity

options, and the call sound will be perfect. This two options together makes horrible call sound.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] michal89chz:
Hello guys, I have quick question. Do we have for our Redmi Note 3 Pro any ROM based on CM13 or CM14 with SIM 1 & 2 cards switch or/and OFF like with MIUI ?

AICP​

Android Ice Cold Project​

AICP is known by everyone as Ice Cold Project that started on Desire HD and since then evolved into a mature ROM with the BEST community you can find!!!

Until Lollipop, Rom has always been AOKP based. Unfortunately, since AOKP either stopped development or will make a comeback later this year, we changed our base to CM when it comes to hardware, drivers and some features.

If there are any bugs, either we will sort them or CM team if it concerns their modifications. This rom isn't CM supported so no need to report errors or bugs to them!!

CM bugs

​

You are STRONGLY recommended to fully wipe your device before flashing, and if possible avoid restoring system apps and system data with Titanium Backup - these can cause stability issues that are very hard to debug. If you believe you know what you're doing - then fine, go ahead, but please don't complain if you experience strange behavior.

How to flash:

Don't do it if you don't know it

ROM has gapps persistance in between dirty flashes

THIS ROM USES MM BOOTLOADER

KERNEL:

Kernel in this rom follows CM source.

BTW, our CM maintainer has reportedly fixed the bugs you've mentioned in the OP, you could ask him for some help :)

Charging!

Well its good to see more N ROMs coming out.

But what worries me is the lockscreen ss you have posted,

73% and still require 1hr 28min.

The other reason could be that u might have connected the device to the PC.

BTW,

Will be testing this ROM after few days!

Its not actual drain its because in the the build prop certain lines are set to "userdebug" instead of just "user". You can find further information in the forums.

Nice to see this ROM here.

Ive updated the bootloader and I'm coming from PAC Rom (The final build).

I did a clean flash with no GAPPS.

There are few things I noticed:

1) Calls Crashes a lot. Can't make or recieve calls.

It's the same problem for all Nougat ROMs I've tested for this phone.

2)Alert Slider doesn't work for me (aka Tri state keys)

3) As mentioned in OP, HDR isn't working.

4)Few lockscreen settings are hidden from the settings but can be opened by searching in the settings app. (for ex lockscreen visualizer).
[OnePlus X Android Development] TheKnux:
Well the last ROM I was on was CAF Resurrection Remix, then I updated my BL, then flashed your ROM. It was buggy in your first build, but now it seems to be working with the latest build. I have top set to none, middle to priority, and bottom to alarms only.
