I'm going to hold on as long as I can. If the unlikely were to happen, and I can get Nougat, it will be until my normal phone rotation. I don't fly, don't have kids at home, and my phone is always with me and not unattended, so don't feel like I'm putting anyone or myself at risk. I just don't like any of the options at this time. Everyone here knows it's a great phone and nothing compares right now. Just a darn shame.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] prophet42:
I thought the same. Then the email came through. "Your phone has been recalled. Someone is coming Thursday evening between 6 and 9 to pick it up. Have the phone ready. The end".

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kat3k:
You must be joking - unless of course you initiated a return. If someone came to my door out of the blue asking for my $800+ phone, I would fall down laughing.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] prophet42:
I did not initiate a return, no.

No joke I'm afraid. I didn't even schedule a pick up either. They told me, with out me contacting them.

Sure, if someone came out or the blue and you didn't know who they were. Of course not!

But this isn't some random dude. I bought my phone from Samsung direct. Technically they haven't charged me yet either. So I don't plan on getting a £730 bill for and end of life phone this close to Christmas no matter how much I love it.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kat3k:
Well that is just outrageous! It is something of a loophole that you haven't been charged for it yet. Also I think you're in the UK and consumer laws might differ from US. Think that's a very odd way for them to handle it.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] lucarp78:
is there a test that we could make for verify if our Note 7 is safe or not? I think samsung it has surrended after the double fool, but could it be possible that all our note 7 are defective? I think no, not all, and that samsung can't continue to find a solution, but we? We surrender? I do not want to.

The test i thinked is to use a navigator app for at least 1 hour on morning under sun.

In that conditions usually the phone that I use become very very very hot.

What do you think?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rcobourn:
Until the exact cause of the failure is known, it can't be tested for. You're assuming heat is the cause. This is probably true, but not proven, and even if it is true, there could be secondary conditions necessary to cause the battery failure.

Just spoke to an AT&T rep and I asked them if there was a deadline to turn in my note 7 and they told me I could turn it in for a full refund and have until the end of the year to do so. This means I get 5 free months of installments plus the return taxes on the device. Just some info for those who still have their note 7s and are willing to take the risk of keeping the device. My note never gets hot and is running smooth as ever. Peace.

[AT&T Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] nuclearrage:
I am told by Samsung and AT&T that I will get a total of 150 back on my bill in the next few months for this fiasco. 25 for each note and 100 for going to the S7 Edge.

[AT&T Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] timmyhawk1983:
from what i read .. no .. u get $25 for going to another brand other then sammy .. $100 credit if u do any samsung device .. and i read no where about getting my installments back because im on the next plan for 12 months .. and i doubt they want to pay me $288 total back on my ATT plan for keeping it until dec. 31st ..
[AT&T Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] svache:
I returned mine a few days ago, the paid installments were instantly credited from my bill (which lowered the bill quite drastic). The $100 credit will be added to a future bill (2 or 3 bills later) and if you previously received a 25 dollar credit, this will be taken off from the 100 (if you stuck with Samsung after the first recall and got 25 for that - basically you will not get more than 100 dollar in credit for sticking with Samsung, even if you stuck with them twice).

[Java for Android App Development] Jamie_Edwards:
Hi guys,

So recently I've come up with what I guess is an idea that may or may not have been achieved done before. The app I'd like to create is fairly simple right now and literally consists of a tally counter. Actually, very simple.

I'd like to also make an adjacent PC app that's also a tally counter... Very simple.

However, I'd like them to communicate with each other. Why and how you may ask?

First, the why. I knit as a form of relaxation as it's quite therapeutic for me and if you don't know how knitting works, let's just say there's a lot of counting rows. A few rows is easy to remember, but when you start getting closer to 128 rows and take a break for a couple days, you forget.

Anyway, I digress. I currently have a tally counter on my phone but... That's just it, it's on my phone and I constantly have to unlock it as I don't want to leave the screen on so it can drain my battery quickly. So I thought that it might be a good idea to have an app on my phone which I can use when I'm not near my PC, but when I am, I can plug in my phone launch the app on both devices and they communicate with each other.

So if I have say 18 on my PC because that's where I left it the other day, and 48 on my phone, when I launch both apps, the PC receives that the value has changed to 48 and updates to that number. Ditto for the other way around.

Is this possible? If so, how can I get both apps to communicate with each other?

Thanks.

Jamie.

[Lenovo Vibe Z Questions & Answers] AyieStyx:
Hi, i use the latest CM ROM for K910 for a quite long time. yesterday i dropped my phone and it crack my screen. was sending it for repair and now the phone wont load normally and it stays in CM loading screen and never boot up. With the cracked phone i use it for a day and sent it to the local shops to replace it.

so i managed to boot it into fastboot but sadly i cant do anything due to the bootloader is locked. all i can do is to unbrick it using the qualcomm resets which requires me to made some pin grounding and plug in the usb which allow me to use QFIL.exe to reset the phone into the very stock rom like in the factory.

after the reset it was working as it should but something is not right, the phone cant be used with its touchscreen, wont charge when it sleep and when ever the phone start to get dark when theres no input, it will stop charging and the screen wont turn on again. both when i boot the phone and when i turn off the phone and charge it. im not sure how to troubleshooting as i never encounter in my experiences. also, it will drain my battery. if i plug in my pc it will detect as Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 9006 or Marshall London HS-USB Diagnostics 9006

anyone have solution for this or any idea?

Thanks in advance
[Lenovo Vibe Z Questions & Answers] soldiersz:
It shows HS-USB Diagnostics 9006 for you ! So do as I say :

1 . Turn off phone

2. press and hold vol up + vold down

3. connect to usb without powering up

Hi guys,

I've been reading throught the forums and cant find any posts on this so if I've missed them I do apologise...

1) when in a phone call, after about 30 secs the screen completely switches off, this is very frustrating when speaking to a call centre because I can't choose a number, the only way to wake it up is to press the call answer button again (muting the call) and then pressing it again so that I can hear again, I've checked my settings and changed the backlight and the power off to 3 mins but it still happens after 30 secs approx.... any thoughts?

2) I have iGo Sat Nav 2006 which worked perfectly on my TYTN on a bluetooth gps receiver, now on the TYTN II it can't find the internal GPS receiver, am I supposed to map the receiver to a virtual com port or something?

Thanks for your time guys.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jgermuga:
I think the Kaiser Twaeks utility in the forum sticky ahs an option for this, but if you want the specifics, try searching as I think it is just a registry setting.

is there a way to turn that off?

thanks guys

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Farsquidge:
As jgermuga said,

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] gordonthegopher:
I currently have a Nook HD+ running on Cyanogenmod 13 for sheet music and watching movies while travelling. The screen is fantastic but it's quite slow. For some time I've been looking for a faster and newer upgrade that supports Cyanogenmod as it means you can stay up to date with Android releases without relying on the manufacturer. Also, Cyanogenmod is much slimmer than most stock overlays (Touchwiz, I'm looking at you).

The 2016 Tab A 10.1 seems to fit the bill specs wise, but is there any likelihood at all we'll see Cyanogenmod on it? Even though my Nook HD+ is slow, it's usable and is still receiving Cyanogenmod updates (with potential Nougat CM14 in the offing). I wouldn't want to buy a Tab A only to be stuck on Marshmallow forever.

That is totally unacceptable. You MUST not tolerate this sort of attitude. I suggest you seek free legal help through one of your countries consumer protection agencies. Samsung have a glut of S7's and considering the media and attitude shown to Note 7 owners I would expect Samsung to be bending over backwards to maintain customers not causing them further grief by messing them about replacing what has been their ****-up.

Clearly Samsung Korea is NOT enforcing its will on the local country wide importers. My Samsung head office here is just incredible. I refuse to let them put me off Samsung but its bloody hard work! I don't want to cut my nose of to spite my face. Samsung need to get their global house in order and fast.

Do not accept this behaviour under any circumstances. Keep us posted how you progress. :good:

Ryland

PS. Every time you contact Samsung get the name of the person you speak to and make notes. It is also a very good idea to start writing letters to Samsung and send them recorded delivery. Phone calls can be denied letters are a solid proof of contact when sent by

recorded mail.

ALWAYS ask to speak to a manager when you call your local Samsung importer, again get their name.

Here in Singapore, Samsung SG is only offering an exchange for the S7 Edge with SGD$250 (approx. USD$178) or a full retail refund of SGD$1168. That's roughly US$835.

Unless you're a true diehard or the S7 Edge appeals to you, the full refund makes more sense. If I took the S7 Edge and sold it to a shop, it doesn't match the value of the Note 7 refund.

So now with the full refund, I can go ahead and purchase the upcoming LG V20 and still have some spare cash for a pre-owned Note 4 for my mom.

Worth noting, all phones here are unlocked. So the carriers are not involved in the exchange or refund programme. This is entirely with Samsung.

this week I got another call saying I can now drop by anytime between now and Nov 17 to either replace or refund (they didn't specify exactly if the s7 edge is available right away but from my understanding of our conversation it should be replaced right away just like the first recall when I dropped by)
