Oh yeah, I'm definitely keeping the rest. Just returning the phone.

Especially the S Pen. I'm just gonna get maybe the Note 8.0 pre-owned, and then use the S Pen on it.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BozQ:
That's it for me. My Note 7 has departed. Feeling depressed now. :(
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] notefreak:
Don't feel so sad. If you can wait for Note8, it will be thabomb :). OK, bad joke. But those that say Note8 should be amazing are probably right because Samsung needs to get their reputation back badly.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
I know the feeling very well. It sincerely does pi55 one off. Such an incredible device and we can't own it? Rather surreal.

Been one hell of a ride. Oh well we must all look to the future with the hope the Note 8 will be another dream mobile.

Carphone Warehouse here in the UK are the country's biggest mobile phone supplier. in addition, all the Samsung stores in the UK are in fact staffed and run by Carphone Warehouse.

Carphone Warehouse insist on you handing the GearVR over.

I got my fire proof box to send my phone back a couple of days ago. I only put the phone in the box. I even kept the s-pen for my next device that it might be compatible with.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] whoofit:
Well, I did say Samsung. How is it possible to fit the VR headset into the ceramic box they send for recovery? It isn't.... Are they sending a shipping container for the VR headset? I doubt they are.

So, Samsung only cares about the phone getting returned like I said. Whatever this other company wants is above and beyond the recall process and they just want to make some flow. Remember, the VR headsets were subsidized by Samsung and no one else....
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
Same here. If by any chance a customer didn't return to the store every single thing in the box etc, Samsung charged the store. My store was so angered by the attitude over the VR that the STORE gave me a VR themselves FOC.

The Samsung importer in this country is awful.

This is one major area I think Samsung Korea should have cleaned its act up by making one rule across the globe for returns.

Knowing UK consumer laws are stiff I would suspect, I don't know, that the VR as a free 'gift' would not be required to be part of any return. I would think a visit to ones local CAB and a chat with one of their legal reps would soon sort that out?

Or.... One could be selfish and not invest any more free time into this matter by driving to a physical storefront, waiting in queue, spending gas or transit fees AND ENDANGERING EVERYONE AROUND THEM by carelessly transporting these DEADLY devices through the public thoroughfares and simply say ....come and get it.

That would show just what you need to return or not. heh heh heh

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] bogarty:
I NEED A TESTER...

I think I may have finished the boot animation, but I don't have an Honor 8, so I'm unable to test it. I need someone with an Honor 8(1080x1920 display) who can test this for me and let me know if it plays properly before I post it. Anyone who's interested in testing this should just send me a PM. Thank you! :)

EDIT(01/03/2017): Still waiting for a tester. Must have root, a custom recovery like TWRP installed & some experience with flashing zips and backing up your device in case you need to restore.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] bogarty:
Is this actually true for the Honor devices? I'm having someone test my animation on their device and it flashes, but it doesn't change the animation. It seems that even with root and TWRP it's still preventing this rather simple change. I make animations all the time, so it should work just fine, but what could it be that's not allowing the change? :/

UPDATE: The person testing for me just tried deleting his bootanimation.zip completely and rebooting and it still shows the stock boot animation on boot, so there must be a master copy that it keeps copying from somewhere that's writing over my animation on boot. Any help? Ideas? :/
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] DarkGuyver:
I don't think it's very easy to get a custom boot animation on the Honor 8 to function. You would probably have to unlock the bootloader, root it and perform some other complicated task in order to get it to work.

[Mate 8 General] juggaknot77:
I got a buddy who's offering his 32gb Mate 8 with a 256gb sd card to trade for my 64gb Nexus 6P.

I am considering it but my real question is does anyone on here know if this will work with Project FI?

I've done some extensive searches on Google, some sites say yes with only T-Mobile working which isn't a problem for me because its the only available network in my area, Sprint sucks.

So what do you guys think, has anyone on here tried it with Project FI?
[Mate 8 General] Ephemera:
If I'm not mistaken on the AL10 model the CDMA bands are locked. So that would mean your device will only work on the GSM network. Sprint LTE towers *should* still work though. Best way is to test it out and report it to us, since you seem to have it available locally.
[Mate 8 General] juggaknot77:
So I did the trade and Project Fi works, 4g LTE, super fast and no issues. Only thing that doesn't work is MMS.
[Mate 8 General] juggaknot77:
So I figured it out for those who have a Nexus device laying around and want to try a Mate 8 or any other Android device on Project Fi.

I got phone, SMS and MMS working and all you need to do is order the data sim only card but you need to already have a Project Fi account to get this to work. Once you get it activate it online, insert the sim to the Mate 8, download Hangouts, go into hangouts settings make sure you sync your google account to receive calls and sms through Projrct FI and your are good to go. I'm currently using this set up with my Huawei Mate 8 and I have my Nexus 6 as my back up.
[Mate 8 General] pinset:
Just to understand: you have one project fi sim card in your Mate 8, which is a data-only sim, and all voice calls are over data via hangouts rather than typical cell tower voice service?

I did a quick search of the forums and even contacted Sony because someone told me they could help and I believed them.

Anyway I parted ways with Verizon after a disagreement but got to keep my Xperia Ztab 2 I bought from them. I rooted and debloated it but when I attempted to install a custom ROM and realized I'd picked the wrong one it was too late and the tablet soft bricked.

This is my first time dealing with a failed root and soft-bricked device. I've dealt with root and flashing and installing recoveries but this is my first experience with a soft brick.

I was wondering if anyone could point me toward a resolution. The device can only be interacted with through the hardware buttons and there is no user interface. When it turns on it vibrates incessantly and there's an LED light. I was told it was recoverable but I don't know how to do it. I know I need a compatible stock or rooted ROM but I don't know which steps to take.

Can someone help me find the proper ROM and give me a list of steps I should take (or reference me to one)?

Thanks guys.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] NeedUnusedName:
So I had my s7 edge completely naked for a while with just a dbrand skin (stupid, I know). I eventually dropped it and after a horrible two-week process I finally have it back and fixed. I've been looking at cases and screen protectors, but the reviews are so biased it's hard to tell what's good. Currently, I'm looking at a case from "carved" (it's my first post so I can't post their link). They're very stylish but have no bumper over the screen so I will definitely need a screen protector. Obviously, tempered glass is best but there seem to be no good covers in that regard. If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear what you're using on your s7 edge (both cases and screen protectors)!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] skezza:
I've just come from an S4 to an S7. I'm used to tempered glass protectors, because they're super easy to apply and give the feeling of a premium screen + that added protection. However, I was unable to find a decent tempered glass screen for the edge. The first one didn't fit properly, and left ridges which made the edge panel unpleasant to use. The second one was too thick, and the edges were being caught by my plastic Spigen case. The third felt fragile when applying it and cracked within a few days of just being in my pocket. All of the other ones were basically square and therefore the edges weren't covered at all. I gave up at that point.

I didn't want a PET film screen. I've used them for years, going all the way back to a 5800 XpressMusic, also on my S1 and my Nexus 4, and usually with horrific results. They scratch easily, they lift easily, they never tend to sit right which means you get dust patches in the corners and their light output is usually awful, especially the gloss ones. Give them a few months, and the light output will be unbearable due to the amount of scratches..

Step foward.... TPU Screen Protectors :o There's a guy selling two for £2.45 on eBay delivered. These things are a bloody revelation to me, I'd never heard of them until I got this phone. I can't believe people are persevering with the tempered glass screens for the Edge. These babies really are the way forward for this phone. The TPU is basically elastic which means it covers the edges perfectly, and it is thin enough not to be caught or interfered with by my case. Supposedly, the TPU is self-healing: basically light and medium scratches effectively disappear thanks to the elasticity of the plastic filling in the gaps, and I can see what they mean. A normal PET Protector for me, would usually be scratched all over by now, yet this TPU protector, you really wouldn't know that it was applied at all. It's completely spotless. No bubbles either which I've only ever achieved with tempered glass protectors. In fact, the only way you can tell this protector is applied at all, is because you can see the pre-cut holes for the camera and sensors at the top. Check out the light output too!!! The only thing that comes close is a tempered glass protector, and I would even go as far as saying this TPU one might even be better!!! (because it has less light reflection)

Tempered glass protectors maybe the hot fashion at the moment, but honestly, I don't think you can go far wrong with the TPU ones for this phone. I am aware that tempered glass protectors give a layer of impact protection too, but that's for you to decide. How many times have you smashed your screen etc? Do you really need that impact protection? If you do, would a standard TPU case be enough, or is the glass protector important....

Edit: [MENTION=4569661]sa3d12[/MENTION] has linked to the case I'm using, the Spigen one.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] NeedUnusedName:
The process that I went through to get my phone fixed took so long and was so horrible that I REALLY dont want to break it again and I want to make sure I have good protection. The TPU protectors look pretty cool though, and ill look for some!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] neyenlives:
I can explain this to you in full.

That's because most of us had used those TPU screen protectors for several years before the tempered glass screen protectors came out and the tempered glass screen protectors are a giant leap forward over TPU/film/wet application style screen protectors. This was before we were forced into curved edge screens. You see, before the large screen devices were basically only the Samsung Note series which all had very large screens that were flat and tempered glass screen protectors were absolutely the best option, especially using the S Pen, the TPU protectors are rubbery and there are indentations and marks left on them that doesn't happen on glass. Additionally if you ever drop your phone on it's screen with the TPU/film type protectors your screen is still trashed. I have personally had multiple phones with tempered glass screen protectors that had the protector shattered but the screen underneath was left pristine. Also the responsiveness and accuracy of the pressure sensitive spen functionality just is horrible with a film type screen protector but is perfect with glass.

With the Note 5, S6 Edge Plus people could still get a 5.5" + screen with the compatibility of a tempered glass screen protector.

Fast forward and suddenly Samsung decided that to get a 5.5-5.7 inch screen you must also get a curved edge screen starting with the S7 Edge/Note 7. So now everyone is looking for the superior look/feel/protection of the tempered glass screen protector and none of the manufacturers seem to be able to produce one that actually fits, adheres correctly and stays put without allowing dust and crap underneath them. None of them work well which is why this and many other threads like it exist. Nobody is debating the superiority of the tempered glass over the TPU screen protectors. Tempered glass is simply better in all regards. The fact you just now suddenly found a TPU screen protector and have fallen in love with it and can't figure out why we haven't all just done that is not a new paradigm. You simply missed out on years of crappy TPU screen protectors to put into perspective just how much better glass is, because getting one to fit properly was never an issue prior to 2016.

Welcome to the past. Don't drop that phone on it's screen. You'll be peeling your TPU screen protector up to reveal a smashed screen and then be like the rest of us......angry that large screen device manufacturers like Samsung have fallen in love with a mostly gimmicky non-functional curved edge screen in exchange for being robust and functionally sound. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] skezza:
Wow, that's some reply lol. A few things though:

-I think you're asserting that TPU protectors were the norm before Tempered Glass protectors. They weren't, certainly not in my experience. Everyone and their dog were using PET film protectors before tempered glass ones came out. I'd say those who used TPU were probably in the minority really. Tempered Glass protectors are of course the best option, but quite evidently, we're struggling to find ones that actually fit nicely.

-I am very happy with tempered glass protectors that fit, but ultimately, the ones I bought don't. I've settled for a TPU protector because it actually looks nice and feels fine.

-Dropping your phone doesn't always result in a smashed screen. If you've got a case on it, you might be lucky. I dropped my phone many a time with a PET film and it survived. That's the case for you.

Nobody forced you to buy a Samsung Edge phone dude? The standard S7 is not curved and is considered by some to be a better phone than the Edge. Or you could have had an LG G5 or the Pixel phone? Sounds like you're suffering a bit of buyers remorse here. Get an S7 and your glass protector then be happy :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] usn.mustanger:
[MENTION=627785]skezza[/MENTION], fast forward 4 1/2 months, and I'm curious how your TPU screen protector is holding up. I just got an S7 Edge, and so I'm in the market for a good screen protector. Right now, Armorsuit's "self healing" TPU protectors are going for under $8, so even if it only lasts a few months, that's not a bad deal.

TIA!
