Note 7 help

[mjrpaine]

Hello,
I am new here. I heard about this from the IT personnel at my work. I am hoping someone here can help me. Obviously by my heading ... I have a Galaxy Note 7 and I do not want to turn it in. I have had no issues with it and do not have any other phones I want to get until May when the Note 8 is suppose to come out. What I am looking for is if there is some way around the system updates. I saw that someone had a set up that worked with the older Note series, but nothing that I can find that has been used on the Note 7. If there is, please let me know and if possible, I may need a little guidance thru it. Thank you.

Welcome on xda!

It's a better way to ask your question in the device specific forum. Just search for the note 7. There are the people with the same phone (and probably the same question). So I think the chance of getting an answer is there higher...

I am not a user of note 7 but I had read about the problem with battery. They said that is not to much space around the battery and for this explode. So I think that you have to return it immediately because it is serious problem and if you don't return it 1 day you will face it.

The note 8 doesn't come out until at least May. I don't have another phone to use until then (since they took my old phone when I got this and they cant get my phone back) and I am not locking into another phone and not being able to get the note 8.

Note 7 has a battery issue which caused some units to explode. You should return the device to samsung and get a refund. Because this phone is discontinued and Samsung disabling all the remaining note 7 units. You can't carry a note 7 in flights also. Get a refund or get any other samsung device. Almost 90%+ units are returned. Be safe and return the device.

I know the issues. I also know it was a small percentage that did meltdown. I know I can't take it on a flight ... and I haven't been on a plane in over 4 years ... so I'm not worried about that. Samsung has also stated it is over 93% that has been returned.

As I stated, I am not looking for anyones input to turn in my device. I am keeping it until it either doesn't work, melts down, or the note 8 comes out. I am not putting myself into a 2 year payment on a phone I dont want. I dont have a ohone to use since they took my note 5 in exchange. So that's the end of that discussion.

Again, it's not worth it, you should return the phone and get the refund, believe me, someday you'll regret it if you don't.

if you really like the note then get a note 5 there are a ton of roms here that port every single feature if you like a curved display get an s7edge both are great phones or
