Anyone affected by 31st jan barerry limit update in UK?

Ditto. All good so far. An "upgrade" to an S7 for more money, doesn't seem too tempting just yet.
Had a similar message 3 or 4 days ago and again yesterday. Tried to screen capture it but on both occasions the message disappeared before I could. I am bog standard just have PDP 6.3 and 7 items checked. That got me through 60% and 30% and still OK up to now (11:25 am). Can someone post exactly what the message said (I know it was something about making the device unusable).
I don't know how to retrieve old notifications now. You used to be able to view the notifications log, but I think in Marshmallow I think it's no longer possible without an app to do it.
The message basically said they are issuing an update today which will prevent charging completely and prevent telephone network access. Apparently you will still be able to operate the phone when the battery is flat, simply for the purposes of running Smart switch. How very thoughtful of them.
I'm guessing the mechanism to issue this update will be blocked, as were the previous updates.
Wrong place to post but anyone know if the Samsung Gear S3 Watch works with the Note7. Have been told the VR doesn't work.
my note7 still all standard and works fine, charges to 100% (green battery) Ireland
1st Feb 08:30 and still good. Went into the Samsung store yesterday and they were disbelieving until I showed them my phone.

I'm almost surprised they didn't try to wrestle you to the ground to take it off you. Were the bomb disposal squad called?
Haha. I think they were more intrigued why it hadn't updated. My secret !!
They said that there was approx. 200 left in the UK and then they commented that it was an instruction that they had to say I should turn it in. - Hahhahaha.

Interesting about there being 200. I can't remember how many were sold?
200 eh? I wonder how many will be left when I take this baby on the antiques roadshow. Figures though, they stopped them going out pretty much on the official launch date if I remember. Not many actually made it out in the UK I don't think.
well, if going by the provided statistics, ~3million sold/scheduled for delivery to stores for sale worldwide, including on time ongoing production line will of course show greater number. 96% of said 3million has been returned, which works out ~ 120k are still in the wild, of which mostly probably unsuspecting customers, or customers who have balls not to comply, otherwise could be still unregistered/travelling stock etc etc. So they have went trough ~220k devices testings and ~30k battery testings, I can almost sense it will be no brainer that samsung sooner than later will have battery replacement issue ironed out and will push all those supposedly ~3million or more devices as refurbs, and at very successful price rate, its a no brainer business to do so to get some cashflow back in to float. The question is when, and if they will. There is a great chance they will just scrap the whole lot and deal with their commercial insurance claims (providing they had some and if it will cover) and move on too...
I really wish they did rework these 3mln note7 and put them back in to market as Note7-S refurbs, I would be completely amazed to get one that is a dual sim model

Hello
So it is April 2017 and I am using note 7 on daily basis from some time in September 2016 for Daily:
Google maps and navigation
Calls and text and emails
Calendar and s pen memo notes
Taking a lot of photos and sometimes videos
Web browsing
Banking apps
Car parking apps
Sometimes
Playing games
Youtube
Watching videos
So far after 6 months I cannot see any lack on performance on phone speed.
Ussually battery once charged in full at the evening (as I do not charge while sleeping for obvious reasons) it last till next evening with about 40% batterry still left.
Yes phone gets hot while heavy used but it did not go over 42 C degrees so far
Anyone who still owns n7 would like to share their experience on that?

I'm still on my 2nd gen September issued Note7 (direct from Samsung UK), used daily in anger. Wireless charged to 100% every night. Worst case scenario remaining charge is about 30% at the end of the day if I've been using the Note7 as a wifi access point.
Keeping it until the Note8 is released.
I am still using my Note7 on a daily basis and have been doing so since the day of purchase (05 August 2016) from Dubai. I must be one of the oldest Note7 users, if not the oldest left to still be using the phone.
I use mine everyday for making calls, messages, internet, Samsung Notes for capturing ideas and mind mapping, calendar/tasks, showbox & YouTube videos, some music through amp player. One of my favourite feature is being able to clip off screen memos to the AOD screen, I just love this feature - its a life saver! In terms of charging, I take the phone off charge at around 12:30am and the still have 30/40% battery life left by 9:30pm the following day. (Running Hydra rom). My phone does not heat up at all, it gets warm sometimes. I've owned all previous Notes and those used to heat up way more than N7.
I just love this phone so much its hard to explain. Sadly my Note7 has a crack on the edge part, it just ruins what otherwise is the best thing I have ever owned. Samsung are desperate to take the phone back but I am just ignoring their calls.
