Hi, I had 2016 gear vr to work with my note 7, I've now got the note 8 and found sadly that it doesn't fit the 2016 model. I've got a suspicion that I have been brought the 2017 S8/S8+ model for christmas but concerned if that is the case that the note 8 still wouldn't fit. It's annoying that...

I'm gonna wait for the note 8 as I use the S-pen loads couldn't be without it else I'd would have exchanged my note 7. I'm hoping they'll let me exchange for note 8 for free of not then I'm keeping note 7 as note 5 isn't good enough lacks Micro SD card support and note 4 is okay but waited long...

Yeah is annoying to hear people say this lol. In all fairness though those of us who still have a note 7 surely must have the ones that are actually safe? Surely by now with how quickly reports were coming out then our phones should have exploded by now? Not saying they're not going to but...

Hi, So I've decided to keep note 7 is rooted so no updates :) But annoyingly S-pen has now decided to stop clicking. It still functions but every time I press the button in it stays held in it's like the return spring can no longer push it back up once it clicks in place. Only way I can get it...

I've read a few articles on why we should return the note 7, one article calling people who keep the note 7 idiots as there are just as good phones on the market. Except there isn't. The whole reason I brought a galaxy note in the first place was the S-pen a feature only available to the note...

I did the same with my note 7 though it thinks it's the S6 not the S7 it has no impact on features whatsoever S-pen still works fine and so does iris scanner and even the grace UX remains the same including the camera software. You basically edit the build.prop file which mainly lets apps know...

But note all note 7s are dangerous it's mainly all to protect Samsung if anything imagine if someone got seriously hurt or even killed then Samsung would face massive lawsuits. Just safer for them to stop note 7s from being used as they don't know the problem and can't or don't want to take that...

I agree lol is odd that it's such a small number of cases reported considering the amount that was manufactured. Surely if it was a manufacturing defect then it should be so much more common for a note 7 to catch fire? I still have my replacement note 7 and I don't intend giving it back or...

I rooted my note 7, changed the build.prop file so now it thinks it's an S6 and my gear vr works fine with the note 7 XD bit risky but I didn't spend £80 on a piece of tech that is now useless. Also as my note 7 is rooted it won't let me update over the air so if Samsung issues a software update...

Yeah I received that email a few mins ago lol at least I can get a refund if need be still the issue of all the people that have brought accessories like cases etc I doubt not all retailers or ebay sellers would offer refunds. I would also like to know what the issue is, surely the issue can't...

Just got a text from EE here in the UK saying that they'll contact me soon to discuss options in returning the note 7. I'm gonna tell them I'm keeping it and I'll risk it I'll also disable updates so my note 7 can't get disabled I've already changed the build.prop file so I can still use the...

Well I've edited the build.prop file on my note 7 and now the gear VR works fine XD Knowing my luck though It'll explode while I'm using it and I'll go blind :/

Yeah I agree I'm not so much concerned about the explosion risk but just the lack of support and updates in the future. Wish they'd just let us take the risk I for one wouldn't sue Samsung if my note 7 does explode there's little chance that you haven't heard about the issues from somewhere...

If I change the build.prop file, do you reckon I can trick the oculus app into thinking it's an S7 edge not a note 7?? I used it on the gear vr before the update and it seemed to work okay without getting stupidly hot even had it on charge lol.

Is a p**s take though like what about people who've brought cases for the note 7 and other accessories? I purchased my gear vr from ebay for £80 as the seller had it with the note 7 but didn't want it and I couldn't seem to find it anywhere online or in shops probably due to the recall. I had...

Just wondering who here is keeping the note 7 and taking the risk of it exploding? I'm happy to keep mine though little annoyed that they've stopped gear VR support and I'm 80% certain Samsung will eventually force us all to return the note 7 by maybe a software update that renders the phone...

This whole note 7 exploding thing is a complete joke. How can any company be so dumb as to let the phones explode? I'm quite happy to continue using my note 7 but now oculus has updated the app on the phones so note 7 not longer works with the gear vr so now I have an 80 quid device that is...

Maybe you got that error then because it's checking for a IMEI code that's linked with the Philippines but you're putting in a code that is for USA models and therefore is coming back as an incorrect IMEI hence the error message "It's either that the IMEI you entered is incorrect...". So most...

I just find it strange how for one, the cases only seem to happen in select countries, correct me if I'm mistaken but I believe there are no cases of "safe" note 7's exploding here in the UK so far? So if these cases are true then is it only the Snapdragon variants? I also find it strange that...

Totally agree with people being stupid it is just all a image with iphone users plus most celebs use iphones so must be good right? I would laugh if iphone 7 turns out to have a defect in it especially exploding batteries would love to see isheep defend it after saying stuff about note 7's yet...

I too can't wait for the note 7 loved the 3 days I had with it lol shame this exploding this has somewhat ruined it's reputation just hope Samsung fix the issue and it'll be the last of exploding note 7's lol else if they continue to explode it will be an issue. And yep will take quite a while...

Gonna admit I'm some what of a Samsung fanboy have only owned Samsung android phones except a nexus 7 tablet as it's the only android phone I find appealing with the hardware and software features and more so I love the note phones because of the S-pen. Note 7 is such a great device and still...

Slightly off topic, I'm waiting for my pre-ordered note 7 to arrive here in the UK still got a week or so to wait :( How come Samsung removed action memo?

Not being funny or anything but have you made sure there's no plastic film thing over the camera lens? Sometimes can be hard to see that it's on there. Only say that because I've not seen any examples of this happening else where like in note 7 camera review videos etc.

While I would like to think corning is right on this I highly doubt it, for one the marks get visibly worse as he goes up in hardness and secondly they don't wipe off though would be interesting if it just needed some water to wipe of the marks. I am seriously thinking of buying a screen...

Hi, Have seen a couple of videos and 1 thread on XDA of the S-pen getting stuck as in it doesn't pop back out again. I'm planning on getting the note 7 just wondering if this is a common issue and/or if it can be avoided?

Wouldn't mind the note 7 tbf love the design of it and have wanted the camera from the S6 since it came out as in the UI with the manual focus control. Have used the camera on my brothers S7 and it is fantastic quality and far more manual control over it too. I didn't go for note 5 because for...

You won't get any better it's to do with the cameras hardware not software. Have you tried increasing the exposure and turn the ISO up to something like 800 or whatever the highest ISO value is? You will still get grainy/noisy images with a higher ISO but should be a brighter image. Iphones...

Guess would be nice to have 6gb of RAm and the newer 821 but think phones now are fast enough it's not like they need to be more powerful to play high end games like GTA 5 or Fallout 4 etc, nor would you need that power to do things like photo editing or 3D modelling as that would just be crap...

I personally would love the note 7 and imo possibly the best phone of 2016 so far. Can't really think of anything to hate about it. Sure it's got old hardware in it but in all honesty even my note 4 is still fast enough pretty sure the note 7 will be more than adequate speed wise let's face it...

Haven't had chance to look through the rest of the comments but I'm using a note 4 N910F running dr.ketan n5/s7 port rom M5. I installed grace UX and can't use keyboard or phone. The keyboard shows up but when I tap on a letter it gives the letter pop up thing but no text is entered into the...

Hi, I've brought a endoscope from ebay which just plugs into the micro-usb port on the phone. For some reason the LED lights come on, on the camera but the camera itself isn't found by any usb webcam apps. I tried with my girlfriends moto G and still nothing. Thinking maybe the camera is...

For one I can't be asked to sign up to HTCmania that I'd most likely hardly ever use seeing as it's mainly all Spanish and Google translate, while it does a mediocre job can still be hard to figure out what people are on about. Second of all, again it's Spanish and even if I use Google translate...

Hi, I have an S7 ROM from HTCmania and the S-pen detection to auto switch to handwriting mode isn't there. I tried installing this port but option still isn't there. Is there anyway I could enable it like change something in the build.prop file maybe?

Hi, I've installed the Myarom S7 experience ROM from HTC mania. Fantastic ROM except for a few annoying things that I wouldn't mind getting sorted if possible just wondering if anyone here could help me fix a few of the issues? Biggest issue is camera app is buggy. It's using the note 4...

Yeah I tried the Kuruma Rom to find it's just stock note 4. Only problems with this Myarom S7 port is the fingerprint scanner doesn't work and no option in keyboard settings to enable the auto switching between handwriting mode when I pull the S-pen out so no way at all to get to handwriting...

Hi, I installed the MyaROM S7 port from HTC mania on my note 4 (N910F), love the rom only problem is the fingerprint scanner doesn't work it does say this in the Rom description, just wondering if there's a way I could enable it like is there a file I could flash that would get it working...

Right so I finally got that rom to install and love it turned out I was using the wrong bootloader etc needed to use COJ3. Rom is fantastic has near enough every S7 feature including the new edge features, always on display semi works tho is a little dim and when u go to unlock the phone the...

I'm trying to install that myarom s7 port from htc mania having a hell of a bad install. At first TWRP couldn't update binary from zip ended up updating TWRP and it installed. Then didn't move past the Samsung logo so went back into recovery wiped delik cache phone booted. On screen it said in...

Sadly I have the N109F snapdragon variant.

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has made an S7 port rom or a note 5 port running 6.0.1? All the roms I've seen for the note 4 (N910F) have been stock roms running 6.0.1 and don't have things like the theme store.

Hi, I'm trying to make a task that opens an app when an NFC tag is read. Basically when I play piano I have a phone stand on the piano and I use an app called guitar tabs to bring up chords for songs that I don't know overly well. So I stuck an NFC tag on the back of the stand so when I place...

Is this rom rooted and does google now on tap work? Also is it possible to get Xposed framework?

When android 6.0 + comes to the note 4 snapdragon variant (anyone know when this is?), will this rom be updated to 6.0?

S2 has a built in dialing app if that's what you're after? Obviously unless you have the 3G model then the call will be made on your phone or through a bluetooth headset.

Trouble is In my opinion and I'm probably wrong but Samsung is a massive company compared to apple. Not only do Samsung make phones but Tv's, washing machines, fridges, cookers, they make military equipment like satellite radar systems and they even have built the worlds largest skyscrapers just...

Seems to only work with wifi on however I don't need to disable bluetooth but would be better if it did work via bluetooth hopefully in a future update. Also was a pain to log into Facebook, most of the time the keyboard popped up but then disappeared after like a second and the times it did...

Hi all, I've had my S2 classic since January but since the latest update introducing auto brightness thing and flight mode, vibrations have stopped working. If I switch off and back on again it's fine and works as it should but I'm assuming since I put it on charge the vibrations stopped...
