The 2nd Major Note 7 Nerf Bat Swing's Hard on December 19th!

[Tangopro]

Samsung confirms it will render the US Note 7 completely useless with next update

Samsung Excerpt:
"To further increase participation, a software update will be released starting on December 19th that will prevent U.S. Galaxy Note7 devices from charging and will eliminate their ability to work as mobile devices."

• Why is Samsung pushing so hard?
• What else is motivating them?
• It can't just be safety? Money perhaps?
• Do they need to harvest Note 7's parts?
• Are they trying to rush getting all N7's before MWC and the S8 (with rumored full screen) reveal?
• Are they trying to prevent return trade ups to new 2017 devices (keeping the same installment)?
• This push to gimp is insane! Apple would never do it. So, what is truly motivating Samsung?

This might be it unless a Root solution is found, yes?

To me it looks like it's a safety issue it looks like because of all the problems and incidents they are doing this to cover themselves

Just got this text:

This sucks. As if the 60% wasn't enough. I was late to prevent that one from slipping thru.

So what's next? Are we beat? Is there any recourse for us? Specifically AT&T? Trying to get a good AT&T firmware has eluded me thus far.

It sounds like Samsung hell Bent on making sure all note sevens are returned

Looks like this is not going to affect Verizon though:

However, Verizon Communications Inc said it would not take part in the update because of the added risk this could pose to Galaxy Note7 users that do not have another device to switch to. (Reporting by Laharee Chatterjee in Bengaluru; Editing by Shounak Dasgupta)

Even still this is pretty low of them. My thinking is they are using these for parts for the next version. They probably know exactly what caused it and it is such an easy cost effective fix, they simply just need to make a few adjustments.

I'm done

Well that's it for me . Sadly I returned my note today . I'm done spending any more of my time trying to keep this phone working . I'm out so much money in accessories alone it makes my stomach turn. I am liking my Xiaomi mi mix though just wish it had a stylus.

I'm sure Verizon will get an update after the Holidays.

Let them try. I have all of those updates disabled.

Would this be the same package disabler 6.3 that we should be using? Or is there something new to know?

I'm not using anything right now (yea yea) and would like to keep this one from happening.

I'm so sad =/

I got the notice from Bell today that December 15th is the IMEI cutoff time. I'm assuming Package Disabler would have nothing to do with avoiding this longer.

I know no one that has had any issue... Are there any persons out there that have had a indication that there phone was going to overheat? Or something that suggested that it was not working properly at any time? Both I had seemed fine. I think it is a deal that they made with Apple, Inc. The news recently was that they did not infringe... my thoughts were this was because Sammy took a financial hit, which sent a lot of people to Apple. The new Apple phone came out just as the phone BS with the Note 7 got started.

It seems like that because I saw a news article that Samsung won a court battle against Apple

I thought that root was available for all Note 7s? I got root but then again mine is not US version.

6.3 is what I use

So when they begin blacklisting your IMEI numbers what will you do then? Come up with an IMEI solution. Seems like a lot of work just to try and stick it to "the man." How did you ever survive before the N7 came out?
