Important Announcement

You probably have heard that Samsung has issued a worldwide safety recall on the Note 7 because of the numerous incidents that have occurred. It is strongly advised that you return your device following the instructions below (Samsung US link, for other countries look at your region's webpage).

Note 7 Safety Recall

Of course, you can choose to keep your device for whatever reason but I strongly advise against this. You could be putting yourself at risk and it is highly unlikely development will continue on this device (developers shouldn't have to develop on an unsafe device). Samsung have released firmware updates that will restrict you from charging your device over 60 percent.

Myself and XDA will not be held responsible for any damaged devices or injuries caused by this defective product.

Sometimes when I'm using an app say a game or something and get a notification like from CNN or Facebook the notification box will only pop up halfway for like a split second then the whole things loads into the full box if that makes sense.. Why?

I am coming from a Nexus 6P and have not figured out a solution to an issue.
I have an app that needs the options button to change settings. I cannot find a way to modify button behavior to create the same action. Anyone?

Disregard. Holding down the back arrow brings up the options.

Have you tried removing administrative permissions from the app? It should be in the security settings.

Saber.

 

[eric3655]

Of course I have removed all permissions all notification abilities I have restarted on safe mode numerous times I have pretty much tried everything known to man the problem is when I try to deactivate it it shuts down settings and won't let me do anything I have read of possible fixes on earlier versions but I have marshmallow and no one has any real good idea of how to deactivate a device Administration position on note7

my note 7 tmo is updated to 60% battery, the issue that i have is that the phone no longer detect my otg adaptor please help

 

[BILLY!!!!]

I purchased a 930FD off ebay, and when i received it everything worked fine. I sent it in to attempt to get a replacement and the must have updated the software but when i got it back it wouldn't charge over 60%, i couldn't access my secure folder due to unauthorized software (or something like that), and when i sideloaded Samsung pay it wouldn't authorize for the same reason. I did have the issue with my secure folder previous to me sideloading Samsung pay, so that wasn't the cause. I read that re-initializing my device should fix the issue with the secure folder. I used smart switch to re-initialize my phone using the original serial number, when i started it back up (no sim card) it defaulted to Arabic (phone was slated for UAE i believe) so i changed that in initial setup to English (US) and proceeded down the settings. when i finally got access to the rest of the device my secure folder was still blocking me out and Samsung pay was in Arabic. So im looking for some help on how to fix my secure folder issue and get Samsung pay (and i assume a few other samsung apps) in English.
Thanks for the help. I also apologize if this is a simple question i tried to search first but the lingo around here is above my head)

I want to download some new edge panel apps. I have disabled updates and have package disabler installed. When I try it asks to update Samsung billing. Will this mess things up? Any help would be appreciated.

I used to have the note 7 but returned it and now have a Pixel xl. The note had this great feature to not be disturbed while playing games. Was that a specific app unique to the phone or did I just not transfer it over ? Please help sick of text and other notifications during gaming

I'm stuck, folks. And desperately need your help.

Long story short - I can't seem to flash back any stock ROM to recover from the FRP Lock after flashing the Hydra ROM with TWRP successfully once and rebooting it after a while. While repeating the procedure the BL and CP are installing fine per Hydra instructions. I'm even disabling the reboot and doing it manually to get back straight into the DL mode, but when starting TWRP AP the flashing fails with:
...
<ID:0/007> recovery.img
<ID:0/007> RQT_CLOSE !!
<ID:0/007>
<ID:0/007> Complete(Write) operation failed.

in Odin, and Custom Binary (RECOVERY) Blocked by FRP Lock on the phone.

On the DL screen:

- Product Name SM-N930F (tried several stock ROMS for it as well, but my original N7 is SM-N930X - Live Demo unit)
- Current Binary: Samsung Official
- System Status: Custom
- RP SWREV B:2 K:1 S:1 (I guess this is what the ROM is compared against).

Tried N930F stock: Either SYSTEM REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE:2, BINARY:1 or KERNEL REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE:1, BINARY:0

My understanding is that the Hydra ROM has installed its own newer kernel, which is failing to check against the original one.
Perhaps, there is a way to inject a custom kernel into original ROM?

Tried the G930F stock ROM : Custom binary (BOOT) Blocked by FRP lock

The Recovery Mode doesn't work (Tried the most recent SmartSwitch it just closing the recovery window as soon as I enter my real model and S/N)
