they are giving ppl 100 to stay pssssh

I don't understand that, maybe because I am in the US. But when you return anything, the taxes are returned with it. IF you did not get it, call the provider. They will get that back to you here in the US. Second, activation twice? Only if you were refunded the first time for it. But you got...

I am in the same boat you are. I have contacted Samsung about this and they have given me a blanket response, just as they have everyone else. Pretty much saying that they realize the phones could possibly have issues and they are not liable blah blah. They then said they would give me a set of...

In line, yes.. but Samsung want's to drag their #@$% feet. And TMO has @#% for phones out there. The only thing I can do is ride this out until a phone worth a #W$% comes out. Clearly won't be from samsung, but hopefully someone with a 2k screen. IF Apple had 2k screen at this point I would have...

Okay.. so question... 1. Is there a thread that shows where to disable future updates? 2. Did they disable the fast wireless charging when they did the update? My phone worked for a bit last night on the portable charger. Now it doesn't do #@$%! ;(

This is something I figured would happen, but hoped would not. Listen, I hate this phone more than anyone out there right now. Especially since it's my 4th one. However, as crappy as it is, as bad as it lags, and other little quirks.. Now I just live with it until the 8 comes out OR the fruit...

TMO has offered to exchange me out of this POS. But as others have said, there is nothing out there right now to really hold it down. So my question is this, Nougat won't be released for the N7 I suppose, what is the true lifespan of the phone with updates not being released for it? And of...

I do like the S-Pen.. but really don't want to go backwards in technology. Then again, the N5 just works lol.. bah! :(

Can't do penetration testing with it. I have my 6plus and it's amazing how much faster and more fluid it is over the N7 grenade. Unfortunately I do need to test in the field and the iPhone 7 plus can't do it. And now with the jailbreak all but gone, it really doesn't leave much to be desired. IF...

Well, my phone is ticking now.. Samsung wants the phone back directly, not through the vendor. They have told me they would replace it as of last Wed. However, they told me in an email today that they will not send me a replacement phone. They said both versions are on hold and to return the...

After being the first person in Florida at a TMO location to report issues with my phone (not explosions) but lag, heat, etc... It's now finally being brought to fruition how bad this phone is. After being flamed by fanboys and people who just couldn't get past a brand name, you're now finally...

Yes sir. That does seem to be the case. Not one not two not three but four times. I actually sent Samsung an email with my IMEI and the video of my phone ticking now they are determined to get my phone back for some reason.

Chances are the hard reset won't do anything, though I hope you have better luck than I did. I went through three phones (on my 4th). I did the hard reset as soon as I picked up the 2nd handset and onward before I did anything with the phone. Sadly you should not have to disable anything, the...

Yawn..

yup... ;)

Yawn

Basically that you had to troll this post and had nothing else to give. Simple minds, simple.. ah never mind, you wouldn't get it anyway. Ah the ignore feature... beautiful.. :) :good:

Would have loved too but it's past that point. They won't take them back and Sammy won't do anything either. Unless the phone is an imminent failure. It's garbage... Wait until their second rounds of recalls #ItWillHappen =/ I am with you, but if you read what I said, it explains why I held out...

Have the same problem. And then have notification sounds that play over and over and over and over and over... only to be stopped "most of the time" by hitting the power button. Quite annoying.

Do your research on both of those. The Exynos has issues with reception etc... And these are by reputable android testers. I was like you, I wanted to get one, to get away from this N7 I have but noticed it had more issues than I wanted to deal with. And if the reception is any worse than what I...

ASK And you shall receive: CNNMoney obtained a video and pictures of the blackened device with Hui’s MacBook tainted with soot and some unidentifiable yellow substance. The IMEI as labeled on the box was checked to be clean and not affected by the recall. “We are currently contacting the...

Yes sir.. A lot of is has to be with the local fan types that want to keep the name and brand safe. However there is nothing they can say to refute what is going on with these phones. I have seen the videos with the kids jumping in front of cars lol.. and let's say that 10% of the cases are...

I'm sure I am late here, but did anyone else see this... http://theusbport.com/samsung-galaxy-note-7-battery-issues-recalls/17646

Lol ?

Turned all the volumes down, sound has gone down but still ticks. So that eliminates any electronics "in the phone" i suppose... anything else that would cause is?:eek:

I have not tried that. I will try that and let you know sir! If it does go away in silent, do you have any clues as to what it would be?

Just add it to the issues on my 4th replacement (3 during the hand grenade era) (1 post with the TMO update).. Now the phone makes a ticking noise when first powered up and left to sit without logging into the phone or doing anything. It does it at idle and doesn't stop until the phone is logged...

Yawn... But more civilized.. Lol.. Like when people can whine about someone else who has legit issues because they are fan boys yeah, I'll pass. Fact is this phone is horrible and if it was so great they would not have lost 29 billion in market share and stick loss. Also a reason only 15...

The phone sucks. This is the 4th revision I have had. 3 prior were during the hand grenade time, now this one is post hand grenade. Slow and laggy. Screen looks good.. Battery Sucks Battery takes forever to charge (post update) from TMO and Samsung. Notification sound loop that has been on...

Yeah... I'm sure.. let the ignorance continue.. ah the fanboys all upset...

LOL... Sure.. let me sell a phone no one wants...

I see what you did there, and wonder how many children you just lost with that. And trust me, I by no means give everything to liberal media. They are a ----- joke. However, I think as far as the technical side goes and reporting stories verbatim from other countries (as they are taking their...

Hissing or Hand Grenade? Right.... Ill take a hiss over lag. Ill take the HISS over the annoying notification sound that just loops it self. Ill take the hiss over all of the other issues that multiple phones have experienced. Unfortunately I am stuck with this defective device. The only...

Right.. I am seeing that... I do a lot of penetration testing etc, and some of the software I want to use requires root. I have this stuff on my laptop and other devices, but would like to have the option to utilize it on my phone as well. Just stinks you can't reset it back.. ;)

LOL... I wouldn't say "anything"... And believing nothing would make me ignorant. Sort of like those who believe that Samsung is omni-potent.

That is fine, I think this way and will bash the company. Plus, I don't recall apple having 90+ cases of phone issues. And even if we knock a few off, like say, 20... I still haven't seen 30 of them explode. With that being said I am an Apple guy so I expect things to work. And as much as people...

I am 100% with this gent above... even now... and if you look around, there are all kinds of issues. http://money.cnn.com/2016/09/27/technology/samsung-galaxy-note-7-fire-china/index.html?sr=twCNN092816samsung-galaxy-note-7-fire-china0249AMVODtopLink&linkId=29248611...

Unless I get a replacement that works like it's supposed to then I am stuck with it. Samsung #@$%y program with returning phones (will make me send it back with no back up device) and T-MO won't replace a device a 5th time even though they are aware of the problems. All of these issues have been...

Whether it is or isn't there are way more issues that have plagued these phones. I think you're used to it and for you any improvement over your last phone is an improvement. Being in IT and supporting various devices - I have to fix/repair many varieties. Unfortunately for me, I get to support...

Happy for you.. but your experience isn't my experience... And maybe the difference is you're going from one bad samsung device to another (updated) samsung device. I have heard from long time sammy users that I need to get used to lag and bad battery life, it's just the nature of the beast. And...

It does!! I had no idea there was no way to go back 100%... =/ That SUCKS!

I am ignorant when it comes to rooting etc... so, just reiterating. If I root my phone, it will trip the knox? And Ill never be able to go back to full stock... Is that where you're saying? :/

Glad you asked this... I actually thought this was because I installed this 360 app... So it was embedded in the update for us TMO... blah!!! Let me know if you find a way to kill it. :) OR maybe il fast forward to the 3rd page of this and someone will have a fix! lmao

Nope.. I am on my 4th revision. (3 were in the hand grenade era) - the 4th is my replacement. Issues have gone unnoticed by Samsung but noticed in the phone world (all over). LAG is still relevant. And yes I have done everything to resolve. And no I should not have to disable anything on a...

Not sure why People tell you to go disable this, or take off that... it's a 900.00 flagship phone, period. The people that generally tell you that either 1. don't pay for the phone (use mommies and daddies money) and don't realize the meaning of paying for something, and getting what you pay...

T-MO Florida Allowed me to change colors. But I have also been through 4 phones (3 pre hand grenade batch) and then my 4th I went back to coral blue. which is post explosion batch. I think it depends on 1. carrier and 2. The rep...
