[Note 7 Questions & Answers] teegunn:
The amount of overkill that some are recommending is ridiculous. You do realize what the unbelievably SLIM chances of a Note 7 going into thermal runaway are, don't you? You do realize that almost literally EVERYTHING you do in your life has a higher chance of killing you or harming you every time you do literally anything other than use or have a Note 7, right? If not, you should think about the percentages of things to worry about that can harm or kill you. Just look at the raw statistical data, and you will see how OVERBLOWN the Note 7 issue has been made out to be. But hey, go ahead and store your Note 7 in a bucket of water, then freeze it, encase it in a lead box, whatever you want to believe to help you sleep at night. You will be SO much safer that way (eye roll)!! LMAO!!
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] XanaviGTR:
I believe the owners of the combusted handsets probably thought so.. what are the risks.. until it happens. As long as you are comfortable with it, carry on. He was just giving sound advices the way I look at it.. you are just too defensive.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] teegunn:
Not defensive, just shining light on the real "risks" involved. There is so little real risk in a Note 7 going into thermal overload, it is waaaay less than almost everything else in your life harming or killing you. That is the flat truth of the statistics. So no, not sound advice based on the percentages of the chances of a problem actually occurring. That is the point. I hope you understand this simple concept.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] br0adband:
Actually you are defending your point.

And nobody would know more about those risks than people that have already been affected by the Note 7 failures, especially those that have been physically injured by them or lost property because of the failures. Oh, and Samsung, they know all too well what the risks are because they're mired in it worldwide.

And yet it just keeps happening, almost a new report every day on some website - and that's just the incidents that become public knowledge which is (statistically speaking) a very small percentage of actual reports provided to Samsung itself, from people that either refuse to return them or continue holding on to them until they feel they can get a suitable replacement.

Perhaps, but the Note 7 is a known defective device and has proven itself to cause injury and property damage consistently and it continues to do so even to this day.

Yeah, and? Bumblebees can't fly, proven by N.A.S.A. with lots of science and math and statistical information and... they fly.

Actually the advice I offered was basically a paraphrased statement made by Samsung itself so yes, it was excellent and very sound advice.

And those chances keep dropping because more devices keep failing and will continue to keep failing as long as people keep using them. What, you didn't realize that statistics work that way? That as more instances of the chance events happen it affects the statistics? Seriously?

We're not the ones that need to understand it. I hope you can understand this incredibly simple concept.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] teegunn:
The concept is simple - there are thousands of more "dangerous" things to be concerned with in everyone's daily life than a Note 7 going into thermal overload. The chances are so ridiculously slim, that it is not worth worrying about.

Yes, we all realize we have to give up the Note 7 and move on to something else. That is not the issue. The issue is that this "risk" is simply extremely exaggerated when compared to other, mundane, daily things we do in our lives. Period. End of story. Anything else said about it is simply noise meant to confuse.

---------- Post added at 11:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 PM ----------

Anyone who gets in their car and drives tomorrow has put themselves at FAR greater risk than using a Note 7. That is a simple, mundane, and perfect example that I hope anyone reading this thread can understand. Go ahead and worry yourself silly over a Note 7 "blowing up". But realize you have been conned - there are FAR greater risks that are legal, allowed, and not talked about at all that you aren't even aware of. Do you take aspirin? Do you know over 5,000 people a year die from complications of taking aspirin? How many people have died, or even been harmed by a Note 7? Now think about what we are dealing with here and put it in perspective. Don't let paid shills blind you.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] br0adband:
But but but... the OP is clearly having issues with his/her Note 7 specifically the battery it seems and asked for some advice and help, it was provided, and yet that wasn't acceptable to you so you attacked those of us - yes, myself included - directly I might add - that offered some advice and help.

Seriously, did you even think before you pounced?

And as for "daily life" how many things do you use in your daily life are currently under a worldwide recall for causing physical injuries and destruction of property because the manufacturer of the item(s) says it's defective?

I don't know, maybe one thing, a Note 7, perhaps? See how that works?

In your car example you just added to the post above, is there any car on the road today that's under a worldwide recall at this moment in time for causing injuries and property damage? No? Why? Because when recalls for public safety are put into effect people are intelligent enough to know "Hey, this thing is defective and the manufacturer asked me to return it... sounds like a good idea to me."
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BozQ:
Gee guys. I'm sorry you all got dragged into this for defending me.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] teegunn:
My car, right now, has a recall. Is it "worldwide"? I don't know, but since GM issued the recall, I would assume that it is. No, I am not going to fly with my car, so that is not an issue. But it does have a recall, so hell, I better get on the GM forums and blow them up (lol, pun intended)!

I have a real life to live and anyone with half a brain can see for themselves that, while we all know we have to exchange or return our Note 7's sooner or later, that the "risk" is far exaggerated to real life concerns. Period.

As for you broadband - don't take what I am saying personally. Take what I say for face value - the "risk" is so miniscule, it does not need to be harped on to this extent. An olive leaf to you - nothing personal, FYI. I hope you can understand and take it for what I am saying - the "risk" factor is overblown, period.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] teegunn:
Broadband - I cannot type as many characters about this as you are able to. Let's just say this: A recall does not mean every device is defective and going to have a problem. We already know most Note 7 owners are still using their devices, yet there are hardly any reports of problems. I will not debate claims made versus the possibility of how many claims may not have been made even if there was a problem. Because we simply don't know. My better sense tells me that there are probably more false claims that have been made than claims were made the were did not become public knowledge. But again, I don't know that "number" of either of those, and neither do you. What we DO know, is that the ones that have been made public, or publically verified by Samsung and the recall process, is an extremely minuscule percentage of phones compared to how many were sold and are still being used even right now. One can debate, or have a difference of opinion, on the "risk", but the statistics that are known - well, the percentages just do not bear out a truly extreme risk to anyone currently using a Note 7, or anyone "around" the close vicinity of someone using a Note 7. Yes, I would say that there is more chance a Note 7 could go into thermal overload easier than other smartphones, but again, I am only guessing, and don't have hard data to back that up. I would bet that Apple has been VERY good at covering up, or keeping under wraps, ifones that "blew up". There have been a good number of those over the years that we know about. But since I do not have hard data about that, I am only making a somewhat educated guess. There is an inherent risk of ANY device with a Li-ion battery having this issue. The Note 7 may have a slightly higher chance of that happening, but it is still a very small risk, especially when compared to many other mundane things people live with and do every day that pose a FAR greater risk of harm, injury or death.

Let's just leave it at that. I agree that the Note 7 has some kind of issue making some of them more likely to go into thermal overload. Because of this, an entire line recall was made. Mostly for limiting litigation IMO, but even if not mostly for that reason, the pure statistics do not bear out the entire line having a fatal issue. We can only speculate how widespread the issue may have been given, say, a 2 year timeframe. In some ways we know already that most Note 7's are still being used, and they aren't "blowing up" at a high rate, so there is not some humongous issue or risk at hand. Let's agree that the recall is in fact real and a foregone conclusion, as this is obvious. We can nicely disagree on the potential "risk" or other issues beyond that. I know I am not personally worried that someone with a Note 7 is going to be bringing an airliner down - ever - because of their phone battery going into thermal overload. Just not going to happen. We have bigger, more pressing things to worry about.

Take care.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] tonymy01:
Interesting, I bet this is the failure point that triggers the battery flame outs on some units. So I suspect it is the original failure mode, plates distorted during assembly, crystals form, causing shorting/failure of some part of the battery and either thermal runaway, or partial battery failure. I am betting if Samsung isn't across what causes the failures properly yet, these ones are very good evidence that Samsung may be interested in seeing! The flame out ones would pretty much destroy the evidence..
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] thomasvtt:
Better you return the phone and get a refund and buy S7 or S7 edge. Both of them are really nice phones.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Revan365:
I don't want a year old phone. If I wanted an s7 I would've got one when I got on sprint. And yes!^ I want this phone to go directly to sprint as it is obviously defective. Any charge below 50% makes it die really quick. It would certainly help them.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lionelglitchie:
One of the main reasons I wanted to get the tablet rooted is to set the 128Mb sd card as default storage and transfer my music library on there with pc companion. I've seen some apps which do this but I was looking at the thread at the bottom of the z2 general section by ale-29 and he talks about using the Samsung method of changing the info in terminal emulator, (which I tried but he does not go into enough info for me, I am fairly new to this and cannot even find the folder with adb .exe) my question is does it matter if I do it this way or use an app feature? And do I have to format the SD? Once I format the card and import a lot of music files and apps on there I do not want to face problems at a later stage.

Bonus question: Xposed Installer app, I go into framework > install

''Exposed is not compatible with SDK version 23 of your processor architecture (armeabi-v7a)

Anyone have this? Yes I used the correct apk and zip. I looked on the Xposed subforum and there are similar errors with other devices with no clear solution.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] nm8:
For a span of 4 years I have owned a few handheld devices namely:

in chronological oreder:

HP RX 3715

FS Loox 720

FS Loox N560

Imate Jam

Treo 650

and the Artemis

I like the inbuilt keyboard of the Treo 650, I also like the VGA screen and fast processor of the N560 but the GPS sucks, and I like the OS stability (though still not perfect) and the quick GPS reception of the Artemis.

I like the single hand operability of the Treo 650.

Im getting sick and tired of using the stylus on my Artemis. You cant really use single hand comfortably.

Now Im looking for an upgrade. Something that combines all what I like.

The Kaiser doesnt get my attention due to the fact thats its very bulky. I dont like the sliding Keyboard.

Treo 750 doesnt have WiFi so its not worth it for me.

Polaris is also out of my wish list.

So to sum it all up, what Im looking for with my next handheld is:

1. fast processor at least 400mhz

2. inbuilt GPS and WiFi

3. big ram and rom

4. inbuilt keyboard like the treo

5. VGA screen

6. high megapixel camera

When will HTC answer my prayers???

If only Treo 750 had GPS and WiFi it will be the ultimate handheld for me.

And what will be your next handheld??? Yes you... I know you want an upgrade... I just know it.

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] petervbeck:
Kaiser...just auctioned... :)

but in batterylife i think it's hard to top our Artemis, don't you think ?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] nm8:
In my own personal opinion, OUR ARTEMIS is the best PDA at the moment! And I have decided to keep it until I find the perfect one for me. That is if the Treo 750 will be upgraded with GPS and WiFi. Or if HTC makes another Artemis with a Treo Keyboard (aka Thumb board) then thats a no brainer for me.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] petervbeck:
there are three things i really don't like with Artemis: USB1, no keyboard and camera, everything else is ok imo.

Sometimes a faster cpu would be nice, but this will drain batterylife for sure...

i'll post my expirience with my Kaiser when i get it next week...
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Kennymusicman:
what about the 02 XDA Stellar?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] nm8:
I dont mind USB1, and the camera, its there but its unusably crap anyway. My nokia N70s camnera is better.

If only the Artemis had a keyboard and faster processor it will be a keeper.

Anyway Goodluck woth your coming Kaiser...btw have read about the video playback that Kaiser owners complain about???
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] petervbeck:
i like the external access to my storagecard, this is really convenient, also the keyboard on kaiser - i love it, specially the material it is made of... :)

Yes, i heard about the video issue - just tried to watch 30 minutes movie with tcpmp - imo no problem. so far i can live with it. The camera is great if you're using it with daylight - autofocus is working very well..but if it is dark, it's again not really usable...

if your comparing artemis and kaiser in weight - the first time you'll be shocked, it's really heavy compared with Artemis (specially the battery)

the only real issue is batterylife as expected....first it was only one day! using gps only with batterypower uses a lot of power :(

now i flashed another rom and radio rom, it's two days, maximum.

the speed, camera, (ok, speed & camera comes with Polaris) and keyboard of kaiser with the batterylife of artemis - this would be a great device ;)
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] nm8:
Hi Pete

Nice to hear youre happy with your brand new toy.

For me, Ill keep the Artemis (this is the best PDA I ever owned so far) for long until something comes out that will really make my heart thump and say GET THAT ONE!

Cheers!!!

Hi ya,

yes i'm happy - but selling my artemis ? NO WAY ! :)

Hello Pixel phones started shipping and i found this on reddit

Pixel phones officially confirmed locked boot loaders on verizon. If you wanted root you should have gotten play store version same price and financing too like a phone plan.

This was fact from beginning if you did research. PC MAG troll or they had dev edition pixel xl verizon edition.

Glad i got a pixel xl that just shipped today. Will have it tomorrow. And play store version.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sassmk2:
Also, some people just don't care about unlocked bootloader's. and it was cheaper for me going through Verizon. Google has been out of stock for over a week and half now. I am not going to wait for a month to receive a phone from google, when I can get one today from Verizon. Google should have had more stock, like last year with 6P, month wait for some who couldn't get a pre-order in on launch day. No thanks. I want one tomorrow, not next month.

To each there own...this will have everything I would want in a phone. I would like to root to use adaway but there is other ways to stop ads w/o root. I know their will be a way to root the device, maybe not tomorrow or next week, but devs do like a challenge. So I have faith in them to crack it.

I appreciate your post OP. Thanks

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ddot98:
The post below started out as my proposed plan for updating a S3 i747m (Canadian) from stock 4.4.2 to CM11. I've since gone back and updated it with the results to turn it into more of a guide for the next moder. This will not do a carrier unlock and it will flip your warranty bit.

Prep:

Download and install Odin_v3.09.zip (recommended for JellyBean/KitKat firmwares) (droidviews.com/download-odin-tool-for-samsung-galaxy-devices-all-versions/)

Download and install the Samsung drivers (samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-I747MBBATT#)

Download the latest appropriate TWRP (at the time if writing it was twrp-3.0.2-0-d2can.img.tar, not the .img but the .tar file, from the dl.twrp.me/d2can page).

Download CyanogenMod and copy it to the external SD card (started with the latest CM11 build with the stagefright fix from download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=snapshot&device=d2lte).

Download Gapps and copy it to the external SD card (personally I grabbed the ARM/4.4/Nano from opengapps.org).

Install recovery:

Boot into Download Mode on the S3 (hold home + volume down, hit power button, then volume up at the confirmation screen)

Launch Odin (as admin) and uncheck everything except Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time.

Select the TWRP .tar file in the AP (apparently used to be PDA) mode and flash the recovery

Once the phone has rebooted successfully, shut it down.

Install CyanogenMod:

Boot into recovery (hold home + volume

up

, hit power button)

Do a nandroid backup for good measure

Do an advanced wipe of your system, data, internal storage and caches (if you don't you get an error 7)

Flash CyanogenMod

Flash Gapps

Reboot

That successfully installed CM11. As it went so smoothly, I decided to try install CM12.1 right away. I grabbed the "cm-12.1-20160314-NIGHTLY-d2att.zip" (from here: xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66726324&postcount=1202), got a copy of the ARM/5.1/Nano from opengapps.org and repeated the above process with success. All seems to be stable so far.

One unknown I had was the deleting of "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh" and "/system/recovery-from-boot.p" as specified in some guides. audit13 mentioned it probably wasn't necessary and I can confirm it wasn't.

Thanks again to audit13 for their vote of confidence.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Plan looks good except I don't think it is necessary to mount the partition in twrp and delete the two files. I have flashed the Telus and T-Mobile versions of the s3 with custom roms and have never had to delete any particular files prior to flashing.
