[Note 7 Questions & Answers] nabbed:
(Pixel XL + Project FI) vs. (Note 7 + prepaid USC)

What is your hypothetical choice?

I'm a low data user, usually not more than 500MB per month...

So, what would YOU choose?

1) Note 7, banned, not any other phone even compares in terms of features, and $35 per month on USC

vs.

2) Pixel XL, you know the score, but $25-30 per month on Project FI.

I already have the two phones, I can cancel/port number, either one. The question is which do I keep?

Considerations:

a) In terms of features, prestige, looks, coolness factor, not even a contest - Note 7 blows ANY current phone out of the water. Add to that Samsung Pay, which works everywhere unlike Android Pay or Apple Pay or any other paypay, and you have a winner. But the phone is dead - no updates, no new features, possible disable of IMEI in the future... The future is very bleak, but today is glorious!

b) Pixel Xl is fast- FAST, Project FI is cheap for a low data user, and there are new updates a coming! But that's about it - the phone is kinda ugly, Project Fi is buggy, and it's just, well, uninspiring. It's a solid phone, but it's ...just that.

I'll have to make a choice in the near future - logic dictates to keep awesome Note 7 until Galaxy S8 arrives, then return for a full refund. But what if they ban Note 7 imei in the US like they did in New Zealand and Australia? Or stop full refunds?

Opinions?

P.S. BTW, before any fire hazard discussion starts - Note 7 safety is not a concern here. Zero concern...
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] statikk1:
The way I see it is you will get the note 7 for free if they carrier block it. How can you get charged for a phone you can't use as a phone. It would be too costly to make you return it as there is no LAW that exists to compel you to return a recalled product. In fact you can keep the phone and ask for compensation instead.

Second option is you call your carrier and demand that they do not block your imei as you WANT to keep using your phone at your own risk. It's not like the phone is going to damage the mobile network. It's only Samsung's reputation that's on the line.. and possibly your house on fire :D if you don't pay attention when you are charging the phone etc.

I'll tell you this much and no more. I chatted with my carrier and got in writing that if my Note7 phone gets imei blocked to contact them and they will unblock it
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] teegunn:
I am keeping my N7 as long as I can. It works perfectly and is by far the best phone out there, probably until the S8 is out. I will only turn it in if they IMEI block it. I am torn on what to do if I have to fly. Probably just activate my Note 4 and use that. But I am going to use this phone until they either force me to switch by an IMEI block or a better option arises. It is a free phone, so I am keeping it unless forced to send it back. I already sent my original (pre-order_ N7 back, this is my replacement. Never updated, all update apk's disabled. Works perfect.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] nabbed:
I returned the Note because I'm switching to Project FI (cheaper) + Pixel XL (fast but ugly.)

Here are some interesting observations:

1) US Cellular reps claimed that my Note was already processed as full refund, but it would not show up in my account until they would process it as such. In other words, it was already approved automatically, but their system wouldn't issue an actual refund until they confirmed it.

2) They didn't seem to care if I actually sent the Note back, they were completely unconcerned with the fate of the actual device. They gave me a box to send it back to Samsung and that was that.

Conclusion: It seems to me that if I went to US Cellular store to return the Note, I could get full refund but still keep the Note. Maybe even use it.

They must have some kind of a system to safeguard against people claiming to return the Note and not actually doing it?

Right?

Hi everyone,

I am using AICP rom on i9305 which is perfectly capable of VOLTE network. But this model is not imported/sold in India so recelty launched 4G network (Reliance Jio) is not using Volte and falling back to conventional LTE.

I have tried changing CSC to: INS/INU but no solution.

I am looking for some solution to utilize this phone at full capacity. If someone has figured out way, please share it.

Thanks!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] WMNovice:
Guys:

a) Is there any tweak for speeding up Outlook synchronization on Vista? It takes over 2 hours over a USB cable!

b) Also, the Windows Mobile Device Center constantly synchronizes without user activation. The moment my Kaiser is connected to the PC via the USB cable, the synchronization starts. After taking 2 hours, it restarts in a few minutes and takes another 2 hours, even though there is nothing to sync at that point! The Start Sync icon is ignored, and synchronization starts automatically every time. The Stop Sync icon sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.

Any idea what could be wrong? Any registry tweaks for this beast?

Sorry if this problem/issue has been posted earlier, I searched the forums and could not find anything.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ladytoast:
Wow, something doesn't sound right there. These days for me the initial sync took about 10 minutes then each sync takes a few seconds. My phone is in the cradle all day so it syncing all the time. It is usual to see some slow down on the device when it is syncing though.

Are you running mobile device centre 6.1?

Are you syncing media at the same time?

Perhaps try turning all of the sync items off except one and then try. One by one try turning them on and see if you can work out where the problem is. Could be an entry or email that is causing a problem.

I notice there is a SP1 for office today.. might have something in there?

I have heard of people having to delete the sync relationships and start again too. It's quick enough and shouldn't cause you to loose any data unless you have changes settings from the defaults. I would certainly start by doing this. Delete the relationship on both devices and start again.

Mine used to be really problematic and I tried so many things to fix it, in the end I just reinstalled vista from scratch. It's been fine ever since.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] WMNovice:
Trying your suggestions

Thanks, @ladytoast. Is there anyway to turn off the automatic resynching every 5 minutes?

- Yes

-No

-Yes, I'm doing that now, thanks for the suggestion

- I don't sync email, since I don't use Outlook for email. Though I;ll have to start looking at email syncs soon too...

- Deleting the sync relationship helped me earlier to solve the failure to connect problem I had earlier. But the chances of loss of data are very high, since the Mobile Device Center deletes data from the device if you uncheck a sync type. For example, you've already synchronized Calendar. Now you want to synchronize Contacts. Guess what? Since you uncheck Calendar, it deletes all calendar entries from the phone and synchronizes the Contacts. Dangerous, if you ask me. Any way to change this behavior?

- Afraid re-installation is not possible for me, though I'd like to uninstall and re-install Windows Mobile Device Center.

I"m not sure what you don't understand. It's pretty clear, that it access was restricted based on your location. Yes, it does happen that it was available a few days ago and now is no longer available. That's how deadlines work. So if you must access, you could try using a VPN or some other method where it appears you are coming from another location other than where you actually are.

Hey guys,

im writing to you because my phone has a weird WIFI issue since i rooted it a hour before.

I can connect to my WIFI, but after about 30seconds, i get disconnect and i dont get any errors.

I have Android 7.0, installed the ElementalX 3.09 Kernel and installed SuperSU Version 2.78.

Should i try another Kernel or is someone having the same issue which can help me?

Thanks alot for a reply :)

Update

Okay, the issue becomes weirder. If the screen is off, the WIFI works without problems. If i turn the screen on, the WIFI turns off after about 10 seconds...

Update: I resolved the issue myself. Reboot the phone, activate wifi, deactivate wifi, reboot the phone, go into recovery, delete cache and dalvik, turn off phone, turn on phone, go into wifi settings, delete every wifi (it doesnt work if i dont delete every wifi... sadly.) connect to the wifi which you want to connect to. Bam. You are connected. This worked for me. I dont know if this is logical, but i try to close the thread now. Everyone with the same issue can follow the instructions above :)

One mistake I did was to use Google Backup restore from my previous phone. I ended up with a heavily battery drained phone. Google Cal Sync killed the phone, and many Samsung, CM, and Google apps that were not needed (Dialer, Contacts, Calculator, Calendar, Camera, etc..) ended up in the phone, causing a huge drain. I had to do a factory-reset and start fresh and only install the really needed apps. I highly recommend against doing a full restore from google when moving between phones.

Same here. With B126 I was getting 9 hours SOT with 10% left. With B138 SOT has halved. The only way to get back to 9-10h SOT is by disabling the SIMs. Cell standby and phone idling don't seem to be performing correctly.

Other minor oddities: 1- touch screen is now much more sensitive and triggers unwanted actions when resting your fingers in the left/right bezels. 2- Also don't seem to be able to reliably connect to higher 5GHz wifi channels, had to go down from 128 5640MHz to 36 5180MHz to it get to connect again. 3- Gaming absolutely hammers the battery now. 4- Facebook and Facebook Messenger kept crashing after the B126 to B138 upgrade and had to be reinstalled.

I think a lot of it has to do with how many times that messenger app (particularly the ones which don't use Google services to get their messages) actually receives a message and wakes the phone up, which resets the doze process if I'm not mistaken. Although I usually charge my phone when I'm sleeping, I get a battery drain of 1% per 2 hours or so when I'm not getting any messages (I have LINE running all the time.)

But during the day when tons of emails and messages and so on come in, it drains a bit more. I guess it can't be helped.
