[Note 7 Questions & Answers] invisiblesense:
Sorry I didn't want to repost everything you wrote. I feel exactly the same way, word for word! Your post is upsetting me even more now, and you didn't even mention the water resistant feature or ability to pin hand written notes/reminders to the Always On Display...this feature meant I never had to turn on or touch my phone to remind myself of tasks when I am at work. Also, I rooted my phone and applied the dual speakers mod giving it the stereo sound with Viper4Android I so badly wanted on my Note.

It is a total and complete phone! How can I replace it???

I've received an email from Samsung saying they're arranging collection of my Note 7. :crying: I don't want to give it up but I also don't want to be in a situation where the phone is remotely killed and I miss out on the refund/replacement altogether. :crying:
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mb523:
I feel the exact same way. I have owned every Note since the Note 1 so I am obviously a huge fan. I actually bought the s7 Edge just in case the phone gets blocked or bricked and I still can't bring myself to send back the Note 7.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] svache:
I can say I feel very much the same way.. with perhaps a bit the exception of S Health since the measurements aren't always correct (instead, I use a fitbit, and manual checking of heartrate/bloodpressure/glucose (which I then again do enter into S Health so it's not entirely pointless to me)).

As I have to return the Note 7 the same time as my wife (which is the biggest reason I haven't done just yet, our schedules are very different), I keep browsing the net, hoping to read or see something that makes me interested to another phone, but I keep coming back to my Note 4 when the day comes that I return my Note 7. The S7 Edge is in a decent second position (I've already stepped away from the idea of upgrading my phone and decided whatever I get next I'll just buy), and the V20 in a third place. There's still some thought of the Pixel but very little to be honest. I'll need to check them out in the store, maybe even take them for a week or so to make a decision (they don't do restocking fees in my state.

But yeah, so far, nothing has come close to the Note 7, and in a way I'm kind of glad my wife and I have such different schedules that I don't really have to get a new phone straight away.. or actually, perhaps I should, but it gives me a bit of an excuse (to my own that is, I know some people feel different about that, to each their own I guess) to keep it for now. I wont be flying for a few more months so I have time lol
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Belimawr:
I'm disappointed to have gave up my Note, it was a hell of a device, more so on the design front, it's the best designed phone I've ever had, but I got a Pixel XL now and you no what I'm happy with it, the design is lacking a bit but other wise it's still a good alternative.

Do what YOU want. YOU. You are not put on this Earth to follow orders from others. As long as you are not harming anyone else then do it. KEEP IT.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
I bought my first mobile phone in 1989! From that time I have literally owned hundreds of them. I cant think of a brand I have not owned but bet I could mention one or two most of you have not heard of! lol

This Note 7 was something else. It was so much more than 'just' a mobile phone, it just felt superb to own and to hold. It was so feature rich that I have had to keep out of numerous threads here where the OP is asking what to exchange the Note 7 for? The answer is literally so simple. There is nothing presently on the market that combines all the features, quality and performance that the note 7 does-did. Sure some have this or that feature but the Note 7 had the lot and many more besides.

I am so disappointed to have had to return my mobile TWICE I just cant write any more on that point.

My only hope is to get another 'tech junkie fix' in March? Failing that...........well lets see.

The Note 7 in some form must live on and Samsung should be hard at word in their R&D department ensuring the Note range continues.

I disagree entirely when the media continually writes reports about the lasting damage done to Samsung. Not at all. Samsung made the recall what else could they do? Though I doubt conspiracy I do think some of the media reports have hidden agendas and a few have been totally false, still, this is what sells the media and its to be expected these days.

I recall with horror the scenario regarding the Asus Transformer Prime.... Asus lead the field in tablet note books yet dropped a massive clanger with the Prime, its GPS and wi-fi didn't work as the inside antennas could not penetrate the metal top cover so we all bought a paper weight. Asus was literally taken to court in numerous countries and even very large petitions where drawn up. Asus ignored the lot and look at them today.

How many of you remember the infamous transformer Prime? I spent 3,000€ two weeks ago on an Asus ROG lap top!

This situation will blow over and the media will soon look for the next bad news they can report on and milk.

I hope Samsung compensate those of us who bought two Note7's and went through the ringer. I also hope Samsung get their act together and help those who are requesting help and support.

Incredible mobile, incredible to own and operate. I truly miss the device every day. I need that bloody pen! Unable to purchase a Note 5 here in Europe and the Note 4 prices have got to a silly point costing as much as the SG S7 edge. I wanted to buy a note 4 but I must force myself to wait till next march. Self control is not my strong point with my tech vice!

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] The Phone Company:
The only Phone that is comparable to the Note 7 is the Mate 9. Look it up, due for release next month. Makes you wonder, Mate, Note. For all WE know is it is all part of a long drawn out marketing plan.

Besides the official release date for the Note 7 in Europe was (is still listed as) October 28th. Same exact date the Note 2 was released. And the Note Edge. And the Galaxy View. Hmmm. Pattern Recognition alert!
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
Oh heck, not this again in every bloomin thread..."keep it". "Return it". That is not what the OP wants to hear there are a dozen threads on this 'To keep or not to keep that is the question' Cant we get past that? :eek:

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] The Phone Company:
Ever considered the Note Pro 12.2?

Strange how there aren't many other Samsung devices that utilize the SPen Stylus. Was looking for alternatives to the Note 7 and in lieu of following the 'in-crowd' I went completely in the opposite direction. Eye-ing the Galaxy View right now, along with the Note Pro 12.2, but can't find it currently on sale anywhere!!?

If anything resembles the original Note 7 then we are looking at the Mate 9. Mate? Note? SEE how this works.

IRIS = SIRI It's all the same 'system'.

How dare you!

Quit your consistent neuro-linguistic programming against the unsuspecting, this is EXACTLY what the OP wants to hear, against the barrage of those all around us using online astro-turfing techniques to make him think he NEEDS to turn his Note 7 in.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Dmac1984:
Yea Samsung has no shortage of unlocked phones to choose from, the remaining problem with grabbing one is no VR comparability still.

I'm locked down to Note 5, S6, S6 Edge, S7 or S7 Edge to use my VR, but at this point I'm looking and open to anything even if just temporary.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] dannyboi5790:
wait the other samsung phones arent vr compatible..smh super dumb..im thinkin of the note 5 and just rooting it and slapping on a rom but idk that small battery nd no sd card is a bummer
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] eelton:
Thanks, OP. Very well stated. I feel exactly the same. I'm keeping mine until they set a deadline for a refund, they block my IMEI, or the Galaxy S8 comes out.

The Huawei Mate 9 leaks look good, but no wireless charging, no S Pen, and no Samsung Pay. Plus the higher resolution curved screen may be China only.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Dmac1984:
Nope, unless there is and I don't know about it, but I'm pretty sure the VR privliges are reserved for the flagship, with the high specs.

I've thought about the Note 5 and i might be willing to lose the curved screen and SD card at least temporarily. Honestly I had the S6 Edge + before the Note 7 and never ran into a storage problem, used the cloud for stuff and never keep a lot of games or anything on my phone anyways, i leep those on my tablet, between VUDU, Google Play Movies, Hulu, Netflix and Amazon Video and Music, storage wasnt an issue. But I'd prefer to never have to go back to no SD card again lol.

Is there a Note 7 rom for the Note 5?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] winol:
I am exactly glad sharing the attitude towards this beatiful device, no other phone can compare not the Icrapphone or the piCRaPxel
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] dannyboi5790:
there should be 1 im to scroll through the note5 forums to see what they have going on over there..but i doubt im going to it i love the note 7 too much and id it blows ill be on top of it because im never seperate from phone anyway
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] JarkMackson:
The Note 5, S6, S6 Edge, S7 & S7 Edge are all compatible with the new gear VR. There's an adapter to change the USB port to the phone.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Dmac1984:
Yeah that what we were saying, all a substantial downgrade in my opinion though.

.

That would definitely keep me with Samsung.

The most interesting statement in that article: "...with only 10 percent of about 500,000 sending the fire prone devices back."
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Dmac1984:
Exactly, so that's what? 50,000 turned in? Leaving 450,000 or so Note 7s out in the world. And they still arent exploding left and right leveling cities like people said they would.

Either way, I love love LOVE this phone, but for the sake of moving on, I'm willing to move forward, but it better be worth the effort for me.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] svache:
Are those numbers correct? How would they know? Didn't they sell a few million of the Note 7?

I'm confused lol, but yeah, let's hope they do give a discount, I'd love that.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] tonymy01:
even the Note 4 works with it. I own an N4 and N7.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ekerbuddyeker:
Op, because I can't find ANY other device like the N7, I bought the ZTE Axon 7. Why? Because if I'm going to compromise, which every other device out there is IMHO, I may as well do it for $400 and not $900!

Actually this device is pretty good (in some cases better, it's definitely faster) and I have for the most part stopped feeling bad about the note7. It will do until I find something else I feel isn't a compromise, which isn't the case currently.

BTW After using this for a week it's hard to see how device prices can stay up in the $900s over time.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Dmac1984:
Thanks man, I've looked into the Axon 7, looms too much like a HTC to me, but i have been keeping an eye on the Xiomi Mi Note 2, which drops tomorrow and is a clear attempt to loom and act like a Note 7, but still it leaves me with the non Samsung problems such as Samsung Pay and Gear VR support. So regardless, looks like an S7 for me or i hold onto the Note 7.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] dannyboi5790:
the other phones we are talking about are the non flagship samsung phones..like the c series and other series..i know all the older flagships work with the vr.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Itchiee:
I know its hard... I've had to give back 5 of them... Using the S7E at the moment and its not bad.

No pen, but the internals are similar.. I still keep waterproofing, wireless charging and Samsung Pay so i'm win for now.

As long as your aren't traveling, not concerned with your and others safety, dont need system updates and will never get a replacement..... its a keeper! lol

BB is finally up to speed BTW lol
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] evo4g63t:
The stylus is the biggest issue in my opinion, there just isn't another phone like it.

The note series is on another level vs the competition.

There is literally no other replacement that has this feature and it blows my mind in a land of me toos no one outside of LG has attempted it and LG did it with specs that were literally outdated when it was released.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] asaqwert:
I agree with most everything you said.

Only thing I disagree with is that the S7 or S7 Edge isn't a downgrade on paper. I see it as a huge downgrade on paper, and an even bigger one in real life, when you compare small non-paper details such as the amount of curve on the edge, the ugly shape of the corners, the USB 2.1 (ok, that's on paper, but it sucks LOL), etc.

Sadly, there truly isn't another phone out there that's even REMOTELY comparable. The LG V20 looked like a possible option, until people started reporting BootLoop 2.0 on it, and even if that wasn't an issue (could swap it at a dealer, potentially, if that happened), the brittle and fragile camera glass IS a HUGE issue. The idea of having a great dual camera on my phone, only to have it become unusable because there is a giant fracture in the glass. The possibility of glass shards cutting me or embedding in my hand isn't exactly appealing either. The Pixel XL 128GB looked like a great option... until Google apparently only made 25 of them and sold them all in the USA, making it impossible to get one in Canada for 1.5 to 2 months (according to the interwebs, so probably 3-4 months in reality).
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] force70:
Same boat as most of you.

Ive had a new note every year since the note 2 and this is the best one yet.

Returned my 1st note for a refund then scoured the net looking to replace it with some thing else. Came to an easy decision that there is nothing else which compares to it for many reasons so managed to get my hands on a V2 version and bought it. And a big thanks to the very generous person who sold it to me for a very low price who also happens to be a member here.

Best decision i ever made.

[Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers] karanhv:
Hi Guys,

I installed TWRP in my Mi Max (32GB) (locked BL) yesterday by replacing stock recovery.img with twrp image and flashing that miui8 dev build through MiFlash in EDL mode. After that my total space was showing nearly 8GB.

To mention, I followed all steps properly like clearing dalvik and cache as well as formatting system, data, internal mem but the same happened.

Again I completely removed mods and installed stock, 24GB space was regained. But now when this time also I installed Resurrection Remix CM13 in the same way as no other way worked for locked BL and unlocking bug has really frustrated me, same thing happened.

Somebody please take up this issue and help me. I wonder how people who installed CM13 RR on locked BL are not facing this issue..
[Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers] wingryder:
hi karanhv post ur question in q&a forum that way more people will be able to respond to u . anyways from what i gathered ur trying to install global developer build over the global stable that came with ur phone so that u could unlock ur device so that u could flash custom rom like cm or rr . good news is that u can do that without unlocking ur bootloader just follow this guide here from step 1-17 : http://xdaforums.com/mi-max/how-to/guide-install-global-miui8-root-t3435594 . just substitute the rom with cm or rr(personally tested by me on global dev rom.)

but things get a bit tricky if u want to stay on stock miui but want to have a custom recovery and root.skip steps 12,13,14,15. and go thru steps 16 & 17.now u will have stock miui with twrp recovery . now if u want to update the stock miui.go to updater app> click the 3 dot button on upper rt side> click on "download update" > the update will downloaded to "downloaded_rom" folder in ur internal storage.now boot to twrp recovery by switching of phone & switching it on again this time holding the vol+ button while it boots up.now after u boot into twrp recovery ,install the zip file that has been downloaded in the "downloaded rom" folder,immidiately after the install,flash supersu zip.now dont reboot yet, using TWRP's file manager navigate to system folder and delete file named "recovery from boot" and then reboot into system thus u will be updated on stock miui while still retaining root and twrp recovery. hope this clears up for u .if u follow all these steps u wont be faced with any memory loss
[Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers] MAHARSON:
easy solution

I had the same problem with 64gb version.

In twrp go to wipe

Click option to delete data partition

It will tell you all data will be deleted and encryption disabled.

After data partition gets deleted twrp will report proper internal space, and ROM will also report proper internal space.

Be sure to backup everything before.

Hi OP3 owners! Need your advice, I put my eye on OP but made a little research and see that there is problems with screen protectors for it because of rounded edge. What is your opinion?

Now I hesitate and thinking about mi5 :(

Thank you!
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] timrock7:
well there is a screen protector already on the phone preinstalled. but its not glass if thats what you want
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] NoOneLt:
Yeah, but as I have read it is not the best, and the screen is the weakest phone part and need to be protected... So i just dont knmow what to do. I wonder how good is Gorilla 4, can it protect screen from general factors for 2 years?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Darkje:
I got myself a imitation orzly kinda screenprotector.

It works perfect edge to edge. It has a bit of rainbow when the screen is not on.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] NoOneLt:
You call that perfect?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Darkje:
Listen all screens that have a small curve have this issues with a sp. That my tgsp sometimes gives me a little bit of rainbow. Yeah I can live with that. It is way better then replacing screens after a drop. 90℅ of the time rainbow ain't there.

Anyways. You want a perfect settled screenprotector. 2 options. Get a flat screen. Or get a foil based screenprotector. Noting along the side will be 100% perfect. But hey just my 2 cents.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Explorer23:
If you take care of your device it's more than good enough.

My previous phone had Gorilla Glass 2 - after 3 years the screen still looks the same as on day one. The phone was kept in the same pocket as keys and never had any screen protectors or cases. Dropped twice: once from car seat level onto its side (onto asphalt), once from pocket level flat on its back (onto concrete tiles).

I'd dare saying that Gorilla Glass is pretty damn durable ? It will survive anything short of direct hit. But then again, even screen protectors won't do much against that.

I went to my local store to pre-order. They had the phones in stock, but wouldn't sell one to me even though I'm still rocking the note 7. They did hold one for me for monday though. Also they're allowing me to trade in an iPhone 4s for the $200 credit.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] reverepats:
Just curious, why Monday? Isn't the release date the 28th? Either way, that's awesome man.

I called the store today as ell, but they had none in stock, and told me to call back next Friday lol. Figures.
