Nightmare

Oh boy, did I just have the worst luck in the world ever. I showed my phone to someone for a few minutes at my internship. Afterwards I took it personally from him and went for the bathroom. When arriving back I noticed I had pen marks all over my phone. Blue pen marks, on the casing AND the screen. I could kill the guy right there and I punched him, real bad. Threatened him to pay me 450euro for my phone, but who is gonna force him? Anyway, it was end of the workday, so I headed home and showed it to my mom. She was pissed off as well. So a few minutes later she came in with a perfect looking clean shoe. I didn't realize instantly, nut then it hit me. I was dreaming! I woke up and was happy as hell.

So you punched him for some marks...
and i imagine that if he had dropped it, you were really going to kill him.
Hell, it's just a cellphone...

WOW, thats love for a phone, you are protecting it in your sleep

Dreaming about your phone is one of the fist sighns of having ORD.
There's no shame... go get yourself checked out...your social life may depend on it.
I've been clean for 2 weeks now. Get some help. You will never look back.

Do you mean OCD? I don't think this is the case.

If you kept your phone inside a perfectly clean looking shoe, no one would be able to draw on it.
Free advice. You're welcome.

Nothing more to say..

Is this like JR ?

OCD and the GN... 3 weeks on...

Ok... Let me just throw it out there... Your GN is not "Perfect". It is not "Flawless". It's a unique piece of hardware that came off a mass production line. It is not identical to any other GN if you spend enough time examining it
In all fairness, I got my GN 3 weeks ago on Nov 25th. I moaned about a light (barely noticeable) horizontal band across the screen and only noticeable on very low light when scrolling.
3 week ons... I'm at peace. More and more threads (about the screen, dust particles, build quality etc) appear every day that confirm, the GN is not a hand made and individually scrutinized piece of swiss machinery. Nope. It was not manufactured in a clean room in the Jet propulsion Lab by NASA engineers in funny suits. It's a phone. Wait wait... don't go yet. I'm nearly done. The point is... After a week or so of bemoaning that it was perfect, I finally just started to use it, and...ENJOY it. Now after 3 weeks use, I could not be happier with it. Battery seems to have improved as time went on (or perhaps Im not starting at the screen so much anymore!) and I now treat the phone like a phone. A piece of expendable tech that I'll probably use for 12-18months.
Should it be 100% flawless? Perfect? Clean room hand built? for 700dollars? No. That money pays for the research and the technology in the phone. It doesn't stretch so far to include sapphire crystal display or hand assembly and post packing scrutiny by an OCD swiss guy with a loupe.
God damn it people, don't let a speck of dust, or a some slight variation in colour bands on the screen ruin your experience of a super device. If its flawed like a line of dead pixels, yes, return it, but if your really just unhappy because its not flawless, well don't be.. because nobodies GN is flawless. Look at it long enough and you'll find something you can pick at... Or you could jsut use the phone and marvel in its awesomeness and stop looking for a bit of dust you can only see when you get into the closet at night with a loupe, night vision googles, and an infrared lamp. Enjoy it

exactly why i'm just going to use the phone and not "look" for issues.

Oh my god, really? You write an absurdly too-long rant, that uses 5 too many smiley faces, telling us we should chill out over defections on our phones? You are telling us to not scrutinize our phones so much. Well don't scrutinize our posts so much, and don't tell us the proper way to go about enjoying our phones.
What a wiener.

If you have nothing to contribute, well you know..
There are way too many threads about nitpicking at every single little detail. I'm not saying the phones don't have issues, but the OP is right. There are way too many threads about such minor details where people expect the phone to be some amazing device as if God himself had created it. It's not. It's a phone.
I think part of the problem is a lot of people are buying it off contract and thus feel that since they are paying so much the phone should be devoid of any and all slight defects.

It's not just that people are buying it off contract. This happens with pretty much every phone. Every time a phone is released there are always threads where people say things like "What problems should I look for?" My thing is, if you have to seek out the "problems" then they aren't problems. And only on forums like xda do people obsess over the most minor "defects". The average consumer doesn't return a phone 3 or 4 times because if they go into a pitch black room and turn the brightness down all the way and then look at an all black screen they see some sort of imperfection. This is the type of unreasonable expectation of pure perfection that you will only find in these online communities. People are flat out ridiculous in how they overreact to the slightest "issue" they perceive themselves to have on their devices. To the average person they can use the exact same phone with the exact same "issue" and not have a single problem.

hahaha good one liquid, nailed him
what a twitter feed! sleeping material...

I agree with the OP. We should all be so lucky that the biggest problem we have is the slight imperfections on the screen. I've noticed the banding (streaks) on the display a few times already but only because it's been discussed ad nauseum. Do I like it? Not really. Do I need to obsess over it and return 3 different units for the same issue only to realize, that's just the way it is. It's not perfect but it's also not worth the amount of complaining that's been going on here. 36 hours in and I am pretty well pleased with it! The screen is gorgeous!
BUT, if Samsung is reading this, my message is this: What's your problem?!? Why isn't this thing perfect?!? I paid too much! I want signal from inside of a lead box! Work harder!

I whole heartedly and completely agree with you.

did anyone find out about Mazook?

Did anyone ever find out what happened to him?

I heard his girlfriend dumped him and he spiraled into depression, resorting to alcoholism and prescription medication abuse to help numb his pain.
Oh wait, that's me. No I haven't heard what happened to mazook.

I did a little research a few days ago, and saw some "suicide watch" websites, where people had been posting about him, but, haven't checked those again..He hasn't posted anything since then anywhere, so I hope that something bad didn't actually happen...

Did he just vanish from the scene or did he give an indication that something was up?

If it was an attempted suicide and they handle it the same as in my city (in Texas), mazook was probably taken to a short-term center for observation, which could be six weeks or so. Depending on behavior there, they may be transferred to a long-term facility for three months.
Without insurance, going to a state center means you will stay there every day that the state is paying for it, so the full three months.
Edit: And if they used pills/alcohol, there is a high chance that the paramedics made it in time.

i guess the issue is, no one knows if they got to him on time, let alone if this actually happened..he was very active here and on Rootz, and hasn't posted anywhere since that incident..

Damn, did you guys read that?! Hopefully he is OK. They tried to call him and called an ambulance. I haven't seen anything like that before. That's very disturbing. I talked to him a few times via PM and he seemed fine. Edit.. .I have to go read through my old PM's

He probably has more important things to handle right now then worrying about what ROM his phone is on, respect the man's privacy.

I am just trying to find out if he is still with us or not..I absolutely have no intentions of delving into his personal life. I just hope he is ok..

Anyone else fed up of complaining posts?

Ive had my One X about a week now. No problems, hardware or software. If the phone is faulty or you dont like it THEN RETURN IT!!! Dont clog up XDA with *****y posts!!! Rant over.
If you're full of nothing but praise for your One X then post below!!

I plan to. Thanks for the non-informational post. Unfortunately some places don't take the phone back without taking a 25% restocking fee. So its not just that easy to RETURN IT!!! (unless you're getting it from a European carrier on contract for free).

Oh, the irony. A post complaining about all the complaints.
Some people are on here looking for easier fixes (like software fix) for their issues, rather then return/exchange. Returning phones with trivial software problems will only lead to higher prices in the long run for everyone.

It's a new device and bound to have issues; they all do. The GN's front page looked like a toxic waste dump for the first couple of weeks. There's value in the complaining as volume helps figure out whether an issue affects one device, a percentage, or all of them. Things should die down after a while.
I agree that the constant duplicate threads where people won't or don't search are annoying. That and those that think their experiencing the problem somehow makes it more significant than all the others experiencing it before them.

New Software Update in UK on 31st October Limiting Charge to 60%

Samsung UK have advised that they will be pushing out an update on 31st October limiting charge to 60%. Lets see if Package Disabler Pro works !
http://www.samsung.com/uk/note7exchange/

They will have to make the phone increasingly annoying in order for people to discontinue using it.

60% doesn't guarantee the phone won't blow.

Anyone that continues to keep a Note 7 and continues to use it actively has issues, and I don't mean the phone's potential to destroy itself and cause injury to persons or property.

I'm still using mine. and aslong as you don't go on wi-fi they cant automatically push an update as it requires you to use mobile data? if that causes a billing charge, samsung can get into trouble

Chippy_boy said:
This latest 60% news is just the latest in a series of ham fisted balls ups. Why is this being done in the UK, and not in other markets? If they actually wanted to put together a program to try to get people to NEVER buy from Samsung ever again, I don't think they could have done better than this.

Couldn't agree more with your post. The killer for me was at the start of the first recall when I got a call from Samsung telling me to return my phone to the service provider. The caller was insistent that's what I had to do even though I explained concisely that it was bought from Samsung! It went rapidly downhill from there on. Communication atrocious.
With regard to the 60%, if it's so crucial to prevent the bombs going off why wait a week to push it out?
I sympathise with Samsung for the problem but the handling of it would pour shame on a one man outfit.

What might those issues be? As a Chartered Engineer I'd be interested to know.
I've been a member of this forum from day one (my profile doesn't show that because I re-registeted a few years ago).
The forum was set up so that like minded 'PDA' owners could learn about and improve their devices. It wasn't and isn't a place where self opinionated members could dictate what others should or could do or indeed to insult or pass judgement on other members.
It would be good if posts could continue to provide information, constructive advice and development for our devices.

I think people can just root the phone, use xposed and then install imei changer pro to change the phone into another phone id. In this way I don't think the network service provider can manage to block your imei. For those people who really take care of their phone well, I think any phone can last till they change to a new phone.

I still thinking if I want to return the phone. I bought a spare S7 edge to standby for trips but its no issue for people who don't travel often. I also believe there are still many people keeping the phone at their own risk. If nothing happen, I think note7 can last till note8 is out.
Have any expert handphone repair people actually open note7 and test if any other battery from other phone in the market can fit and run note7 smoothly?
