[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] sledgie:
I returned a few Axon 7/ mini's and Honor 8's without restocking fee. I argued it wasn't on the receipt and it was an unlocked phone. I also asked to speak to the supervisor but before that happened he just credited the $35.

The statement about Huawei not having good resale value, that's almost indiscernible from every Android out there. Huawei makes the Nexus 6P which they sell unlocked at BB for $499. I would say if you are going to resell it in the first month, expect to take $75-$100 off what you paid for in mint condition. Nothing else right now is as powerful as this, except the OnePlus 3T. However, the 3T in all it's fabulous glory (and it is a fabulous phone) doesn't have expandable memory or dual sim with 4G/3G. It can only do 4G/2G and of course, you can't do dual sim and microsd like you can with the Mate 9 (albeit with carefully crafted nano SIM/microsd)

---------- Post added at 07:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------

I'd also like to input that XDA's own selling forum/website, Swappa.com is a great place to find deals on fair to good to mint phones. I've sold quite a few phones there and have bought quite a few as well. I'm actually contemplating returning this phone to Amazon as the screen sometimes doesn't always register at the top, and picking up one of the Mate 9 from Swappa. Of course I'd like to pick up a Mate 9 with 6GB ram, which is the L00 model or Mate 9 pro, but pro is too expensive for me and I really like this 5.9 screen even though I came from a Note 4/5 and S7 Edge. I've never seen an IPS LCD screen this bright before.

im just saying in the past these devices have literally no resale value on craigslist or even local cell phone buyer stores. 'based on my past" yes swappa would be an option.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] sledgie:
Most people on Craigslist (this is a general statement) will offer rock bottom prices on any phone. Swappa.com is one of your best bets

No I did not to be honest, I put my sim in while at BB and seemed to pull data fine and pretty fast so no concern for me when I bought it.

That's not going to fix the fact that CDMA isn't enabled on this device for use in the US.

Thought that was sprint/verizon thats holding up unlocked phones?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] dscline:
No. CDMA from the Kirin 960 has not yet been approved for use in the US by the FCC.

It is CDMA compatible at least with some CDMA mvnos and CDMA Verizon. I believe it's Verizon that's holding it up as others have stated
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] dscline:
It doesn't matter if it's compatible. It can't broadcast CDMA in the us until the FCC approves it.

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] intruda119:
Could be completely bs but I read/listen/0lpodcast that it takes 12-24 months for things to get passed by FCC to use in USA. That's why most companies like Samsung use Qualcomm in the US because it's not worth the hassle.

I don't blame Verizon or Huawei. If you are interested in the latest and greatest get gsm carrier. If that's not an option, you are SOL.

I think its the same reason why samsung doesnt bring their own exynos chips to the USA galaxy phones. It must be true that it takes 1-2 years to get certified.

My friend is so interested in the mate 9 that he is looking into going with a GSM carrier on a smallish post or prepaid account just so he could use it.

And I thought I was addicted to smartphones. :)
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] 954wrecker:
Mate 9 mint condition is already down to $500 on swappa 2 weeks after release in the USA. OnePlus 3T on Swappa is still at or above its list price after 2 months. The US retailer's will be marking them down online before the month is over. My local best buy still doesn't even have a display model on hand. What a lackluster Huawei rollout here in the only store you can even buy it in person.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
Most on swappa are units that people received at CES for free from Hauwei . The current one is from a XDA Miles Somerville. The featured person is also a youtuber.

No flagship in my opinion is worth the cost at release though some may be more so than others. Just sayin.

Not even the Pixel and especially not the iPhone.

Thanks for the tip. I guess you missed my point about the OnePlus 3t. I got my hands on the mate 9 this afternoon and compared it with my 3t.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] intruda119:
I could really care less, forgot I wrote that comment. Huawei did release 3 months ago. Officially in the US in January. I got mine in December.

We talking about oneplus the company. Im just taking a wild guess. I dont care for them if you could imagine

Something out of stock. Most likely gold still out and 128gb model is still sold out. Base model probably only available.

Again I dont care either way. That was the state the phone was in when I checked shortly after release.

If any of that is true, I can imagine the phone holding up its value if its harder to get.

Confirmed bugs / issues:

- application menu can't be opened in certain apps due to missing menu button (or it's emulation). Other phones provide this functionality through pressing and holding of another soft / hard button. I can't sync my bookmarks in XMarks bookmark manager due to this issue for example.

Ideal solution: if 'Multitask' (rightmost) button pressed & held, app menu appears.
[Lenovo Phab 2 Pro Questions & Answers] milanvot:
It would be nice to compile list of known (confirmed) bugs/issues in Phab 2 Pro official ROM to provide Lenovo with information what should be fixed and with which priority.

So far I have found following issues (latest ROM, European Phab 2 Pro - PB2-690M):

1) application menu can't be opened in certain apps due to missing menu button (or it's emulation). Other phones provide this functionality through pressing and holding of another soft / hard button. I can't sync my bookmarks in XMarks bookmark manager due to this issue for example.

2) SMS/MMS attachments can't be saved - 'Can't save attachments' error message' - EDIT - I had one running app in background which was 'drawing over other apps', once disabled, problem has disappeared

Can you please confirm those issues so I can move them to the first reserved post?

After the recent "GBoard" update to Google keyboard I disabled SwiftKey. Soon I noticed erratic touchpad behavior including freezing and weird keyboard behavior. Keys were sticking at odd moments and backspace was reluctant to start, then seemingly uncontrollably erasing dozens of characters when I only wanted to delete a few.

Uninstalled G-Board and re-enable SwiftKey. Seems to have fixed the problem.

I have the Phab 2 (NOT the Phab 2 Plus - NOT the Phab 2 Pro) - bought in Prague, CZ.

-I had a problem to make GROUPS in my contact list. Android automatically added my contacts from my laptop Google Contact List. New folks that I added later to the phone could not be put into the newly created Group-List. What gives?

-A somewhat similar problem showed up when I attempted to make a Group-List of widgets / programs. Every morning when I switch on the phone, I have to re-organize the widgets & programs into groups AGAIN.

Is this a systemic problem? Am I doing the processes incorrectly? Can we add this to the list of known bugs?

This is a function of your charger. If you have a 2amp charger it will charge the phone fast. Most common chargers are 500ma, which will not charge the phone overnight. If your charger does not specify the amperage, then it is low.

I seem to have various options for upgrading the TomTom software that came with my Kaiser. Problem is I'm not sure which options are viable.

I can buy European map for £39.95 from here (but will it work with the version of TomTom that came with my phone?)

http://www.tomtom.com/products/maps...af29it42pga3imj7kdldbt6&D=23&Language=1&P=327

I can buy the software and maps for £68.95 from here (do I need this upgrade to my software?) (I was directed here from the HTC site)

http://www.expansys.com/htc/p_htc_item.aspx?i=149139

When I downloaded my free map I was given a code and told that it could be used to obtain a discount. I could not find any options to do this on the HTC site:

http://www.europe.htc.com/en/workplay/tomtom_buymaps.html

Is this discount now discounted?

On a slightly different topic, I would like to log my position. The TomTom software I have does not let me do that. Is this because it is a cut down version of the full product (ie, not just reduced map coverage) or do I have to buy a different product that supports this functionality?

Have you successfully blocked the update with the Package disabler pro with fix work around?

With me so far doing good. Still on the Green battery version. Still able to charge and fully charging too.

The work around for previous update. Hope this will work for this update too.

http://xdaforums.com/tmob...s-fix-t3495293

Update :

I confirmed by couple of T-Mobile supervisors that the "Note 7 Killer Update" has been released. They also let me know they can tell that I am blocking the update. Which they said that is good that I have the Note 7 while I wait for the Blue S7 Edge to be shipped to me.

So it is confirmed that this does block this "Note 7 Killer Update"!

Bear in mind that the offer to return the phone for a full refund ends on the 15th. If you don't return your phone by then you own it. With rumors of how sweet the 8's are seemingly going to be, regardless of whether my Note is able to block the latest update attempt, I'll be returning mine and use my Axon 7 . Otherwise, I'll have to pay off half of the note before the 8's arrive.

So your saying they are releasing an update that will kill the phone, then not allow us to return it after the 15th? When you hear about a string of T-Mobile stores being torched, you know why.

---------- Post added at 05:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 AM ----------

I do intend to return the N7, Im just trying to get as close the the release of the S8+ as possible.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] mistemuse:
I don't think that's unreasonable. This has been going on for a long time. The recall/refund offer has to have an end date. You have a decision to make, and if your phone is still able to charge after the 15th, then it's probably safe from any further updates and your home free. But if you decide to keep it, after the 15th, then the auto refund deal is off, or so I'm told. So choose wisely.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Baenwort:
In the US the consumer protection laws do not allow a end date to recalls. They have to take back/fix any recalled item for the flaw the recall covers.

You also aren't allowed to sell or purchase a recalled item once the recall is issued. This keeps people from buying broken recalled items and cashing in. Typically though most companies do not exercise that provision.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] mistemuse:
Well that's good to hear, but what about the refund part?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] playya:
Not sure you fully get this... Again you are speaking but not showing any proof of anything and like the post after yours its a a recall and there are rules to follow with recalls.

So once again please provide some evidence of your findings or its simply speculation on your part. Not saying you are wrong just saying until you can provide proof its speculation.... Help the community by providing your source as a link or a post of your conversation please if possible
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] sidn3y:

Not sure you fully get this... Again you are speaking but not showing any proof of anything and like the post after yours its a a recall and there are rules to follow with recalls.

Well, I thought I made myself pretty clear. I did not say anything definitively, just that I saw a post somewhere online that the end date was the 15th. You can take that for what it's worth, but it did flag me, so a few days later I chatted with an online T-Mobile rep. I asked him if there was a time limitation for getting a refund on the Note 7. He replied, good question and it took him like 10 minutes or so to get back to me, so he must have asked someone higher up. He came back and said yes, Jan 15th. Again, take that for what it is. I honestly don't think T-Moble has a concrete policy on this situation, as it is unusual. I'm going to go into a T-Mobile outlet tomorrow and see what they say.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] playya:
Ok but you said this, kinda definitive....
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] mistemuse:
ha, ha, ok, you win, my bad.....
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] JaguarXT:
Well, when comes to the deadline after the 15th of Jan it becomes a legal issue. You not really sure how that would work for or against you at the end.

I talked to Samsung rep. At first said there will be exchange program for Note 7 users to Note 8 (or whatever name it be). I asked for proof. Then the rep acknowledged that there is no proof. Therefore at this point no program (the Samsung rep acknowledged). The Samsung rep said to talk to your carrier.

T-Mobile had Jump. That is something the we can ask for on this case.

The real issue is that Samsung is forcing to purchase a device before the Galaxy 8 series (including Note 8) is released. And expect us the do a second separate purchase for the Galaxy 8 series (including Note 8). That is two separate purchases. The first purchase (a current device which would be lower end compare to the Note 7) with the recall which doesn't make us whole or better. Which is the reason for the second separate purchase (Galaxy 8 series) later on in 2017.

That is the reason I say try to work with T-Mobile with Jump is the best option.

I personally am going for the Blue Galaxy S7 Edge for a couple of three months until I can order a Galaxy 8 series device. I am lucky to be on the old Jump program so I can do that.

I just feel it is not worth waiting it out to see what happens after Jan 15th. Again that is more a legal issue which may or may not work on our behave.

I am looking forward to play with Nugget version of Android on the Blue Galaxy S7 Edge for a couple of months before getting my hands on the top end Galaxy 8 series device.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] mistemuse:
Ok, so I went into my local T-Mobile kiosk and spoke to the sharpest guy in the group over there. I've spoken to him several times before and he seems very knowledgeable and unbiased. He said that the kill update hasn't happened yet, but it will before the 15th, and it won't be via software, rather a shutdown of all the Note IMEI numbers. He also said that he knows of no return deadline for a refund. So there you have it, coming from one T-Mobile rep in California. whether he's correct or not is anyone's guess. I'll hold onto mine until the very end just to see how it happens and then go back to my Axon 7 until something else blows me away next year.

I'm a manager for T-Mobile corporate retail, and the most recent communication we received regarding Note 7s was in regard to the December 27th update. We have not been alerted as to the delay in update, nor any further actions to block all Note 7 IMEIs at this time.
