I hope their network gets a huge improvement because I am seriously considering jumping ship to Verizon.

I noticed that it states 16 GB internal storage. I thought the Verizon model was 32 GB? Hopefully that's a typo.

Don't think they'd make the 16gb typo over and over. It's probably 16gb. The VZW model is 32gb.

Don't count on Sprint to somehow make their network drastically better just because they're coming out with the Galaxy Nexus and starting LTE...

Sprint has five LTE towers in Kankakee, Illinois. That's probably all they could afford for now!

Yeah I rather not drop that much money on a phone! And as far as I know there is now warranty if you buy unlocked, I could be wrong tho!

The importer helps with your warranty.
And if you're on T-Mobile, you save money every month by signing a contract without a phone subsidy, or by going off contract. You easily make up the difference of an unlocked phone. If you want it, buy it unlocked. You're going to be waiting a long time for T-Mobile to get it.
Basically theres nothing stopping you from getting it if you really want it that bad. Saying "T-Mobile doesn't carry it" isn't an excuse.

Yeah. I wish I got it when it was on sale for $550 tho! I didn't know that the importer helped with the shipping! I just wanted to wait until Best Buy carried it cause I have gift cards, and rewards zone coupons so I will save a little bit of money with that, I was never planing on buying it with a T-mobile contract...

Well, like Verizon and ATT's LTE networks, there won't be anyone using their LTE network... so yeah, speeds will probably be pretty good too if they roll it out in your area. But that probably won't be for a while.

eg:
Sprint LTE speedtest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsFtusmRRH4
That's supposedly over 10mhz which is half the expected deployment spectrum size of 20mhz (which is what VZW uses)
And for that matter... Sprint looks like they're upgrading their 3g network to EvDO Rev B finally.

Sold my AT&T Note & ordered a Unlocked Nexus!

What's up I've come to the dark side, well the other dark side. I've been on XDA for a while. I just ordered my unlocked Nexus from Amazon tonight for $502 with 1 day shipping!
My short story, I originally took the GF to AT&T to show her the Note as I though it was the perfect phone for her. She doesn't own a tablet like me and uses her iPhone to read her Hollywood gossip yada yada. I figured she would love the Note.
I also ended up loving the Note too "new toy syndrome" so I had to have one. Our upgrades weren't due until May. So I went ahead I threw down $650 for the AT&T Note.
Now don't get me wrong the Note is awesome! But the reasons it didn't work for me is.... Well first my area was "supposed" to get LTE in June but that failed and was pushed back till 2013. So what good is a LTE phone will no LTE! That's a big reason I didn't buy a international Note. Also I fell for the old "the note will get ICS in Q1" silly me I think I'm done believing or hoping for carrier updates anymore.
And honestly I've been in love with the Nexus since its unvailing. It's such a sleek pristine looking device. Not to mention pure ICS experience. I tried to set my Note up like a ICS overlay. But still had that god awful touch wiz lag.
I think I made the right choice, obviously. Nothing taken from the Note but me already using my Tablet daily it felt a tad redundant to have a 5.3" display and my tablet. I think the Nexus screen size is perfect. I have big hands and was able to one hand the note while typing but felt like it could possibly fall. I find the iPhone to small like I'll crush it, the Note a little on the iffy big side. But the nexus seems perfect size in today's mobile smartphone standards.
So just wanted to welcome myself and I have a lot of reading to catch up on!
Can't wait to get my Nexus with no AT&T branding and bloat less! I was gonna get the white model but it was $40 more and I thought the black looked more stealth and clean. I had a white note but I liked how the entire device even the dace was white.

I just did the same. I am not disappoint.

You won't regret it. A few weeks ago I was on the edge about buying the Nexus or not b/c of the price, but as soon as I got the phone all of that went away. It's an amazing phone and you won't regret it
Let us know how it is when it comes in!

Just did the same and Got my nexus yesterday.
However, the ICS version on it is 4.0.1.
I tried to perform a software update but it keeps telling me that my phone has the latest update.
Any advise???
Thanks

I had the intl Note and I miss it. That's probably my tech ADD.

Haha, understandable. My GF will still have the note if I wanna mess with it. It's a great phone but usually when I'm home I always grab for my tablet. Plus the Nexus screen is gonna feel huge being I had to use a spare iPhone 4 for a day until my Nexus comes in. It's only for a day or two but I feel like I'm gonna crush the little guy lol.

Yea the S-pen was nice but I didn't use it as much as I would have liked, but again only had the note for a few weeks.
Now the the thing I used the S-pen a lot was for Draw something with the GF, but I felt like it was cheating hahaha! And I was much better challenging the little one in fruit ninja. I found it a lot easier playing it with the S-pen, plus I hate that feeling when I swipe the screen fast with my finger tip. Odd lol.

There are many guides on the web and also tool kits. You can try and follow the instructions here
Most importantly you will need to set up Android SDK and drivers. Once this is done modding any Android device is a few short scripts away.

Waiting on the carriers is not fun. The carriers do not have the end users interest at heart. Although buying off contract carries many risks with GNex this is a good device.

Since your contract will be ending soon, don't renew if you can help it... go here instead:

Anyone tempted to just keep the Note 7?

So my Note 7 arrives today, firstly i was hunting round Korea trying to find one when I was there on holiday but everywhere was sold out. Then i missed the UK launch day preorders so i finally bit the bullet and ordered from from.ae
The day after i ordered Samsung made the recall announcement but the phone had already been dispatched, I now either use it and hope for the best due to it only being 35 devices so far or i pay again for shipping, custom charges etc. Taking all that into account getting it replaced would cost nearly £850
Is anyone else just keeping there note? Really stuck in 2 minds...

Yep mines made un china....no heat issues great battery life
But still on the replacement list

I guess the question is are you prepared to gamble with a possible fire or worse. Please keep in mind that if you did have a fire etc it may not only be you that is harmed but your family. If you live in an apartment you may risk the safety of other residents.
Samsung would not have made this recall unless it was 100% necessary, this goes without saying as the damage done to Samsung both financially and reputation wise is simply staggering. This disaster even affected Samsungs share price on the stock market!
I guess you could gamble if it where your life but its not, if this devices goes bang it could affect others and for that reason alone I returned mine as soon as the news broke. Be responsible please.
Apart from that by the end of the month they will be back on sale and I shall repurchase one. :good:

I was hoping it was a geographically-related batch and havent been too worried... until saw the guy from Australia post about his. Makes it much more real. Treating the thing like a dangerous object for the time being, until figure out how this whole replacement is going to work.

I would strongly recommend to give it back... If Sammy is doing a whole recall they don't know how much of the phones are effected. If they new there would be an app that showed do you need to replace it or not.

Honestly speaking, I had my doubts about the initial reports. Because the photos showed units without the Samsung logo. Then this Australia case reported earlier today.
Another article I read said that 70% of the Note 7 batteries came from Samsung SDI. The batch with the defective, exploding batteries.
So as much as I hate to say this, it's really better you send it in for an exchange.

So with the SDI announcement it does appear we can view the battery manufacturer without root. From a file browser in the root directory go to /sys/class/power_supply/battery/batt_type and open in a text editor. Unfortunately mine lists SDI
Definitely going to swap mine out when available, was really hoping i would see a different result in that file though.

I'm SDI too!!! Too nooooooo!!!

You are supposed to be getting a separate box directly from Samsung. I got it today. It is ridiculous with ceramic plates in case the phone catches on for during transit.

Same here. I think they are letting the guys who handled the first recall work on sending out the boxes!

So i guess we just keep the phone. No box yet. The V20 is dope

I called Verizon AGAIN a few days ago and finally spoke with someone who had a clue. He said they just got the boxes and a SKU has been assigned to them so they can ship them out. He said I should be getting mine in 3 to 5 business days.

Well if they send a box ill send back the phone. im not going out of my way to do it. Im really liking the V20 now.

I received my replacement phone(S7edge) on Oct 20 and was told I would get the "special Box" to send back my Note7, soon. Well it has been 10 days and I received the box on the 11th day. So long Note 7, I am really gonna miss you! I really did like the phone! The Note 8 cant get here fast enough!

Turns out that Verizon gave me the phone number to the Samsung center handling the recall boxes. I got that box sent 2nd day air and I put the phone in it and send it UPS ground.
I called to see if they got the phone and they said they did and my check will be sent in a couple of days. I asked what check and they are sending me a full price refund (over $800) !

---------- Post added at 06:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ----------
I got a box for my phone, then I got a second. A third just shipped.

I too waited patiently for the return shipment box to arrive. I finally gave up and called Verizon support asking when the return shipment box would arrive, given that I will not receive credit until I send it back. They made up some story about having already shipped it to me a week ago, but quickly offered to reship it. It arrived via FedEx this morning.
My question is, are people keeping the S pen when returning the awesome Note 7? I have someone with a Note 5 that may find it useful.

Lots of inconsistencies throughout this process.
I just got off the phone with the local Verizon corporate store. The lady said I need to bring the phone to them to get a refund of what i paid ($299+tax). I mentioned hearing about a special box to return the phone to Samsung and the lady said they take care of all that for me.
She also said starting 7th they will be deactivating the phones that are still in use.

Ebay 20% off coupon valid TODAY ONLY
Here's the link to a 9/10 quality Sprint LGV30+ on ebay
https://www.ebay.com/itm/173250399581
Here's the 20% off promo code
PICKDADSGIFT
It's valid today only, 7am to 7pm PST.
https://pages.ebay.com/promo/2018/0606/66165.html?afsrc=1&rmvSB=true
The code works on the phone link above, taking $65 off the price for a total of $260.
That's $260, for a LG V30+ that can be unlocked and rooted to run on any carrier.
This is valid for US, CA, and South American customers. This is an absolute steal. I got mine and thought I'd share this w/ other xdaers.

Mint is this link, $10 more list price:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-V30-LS998-128GB-Titan-Black-Sprint-Smartphone-A-Mint-/173250399580
Would be $267 after discount.

Damn. Should have bought the mint. Gonna see if I can email the seller before it ships.

seller quickly responded to my request to pay the difference of a mint with
"There isn't much of a difference between the two"
Guess I'll stick w/ what I have based on that. But I would def recommend grabbing the mint since it's only $7 more.

Since the bootloader is likely to be patched sooner than later, this is the deal to jump on. $268 shipped.
Code is only good for 1 order, so make it count.

Searching right now, they seem to be sold out of both the "mint" and "9/10" LS998 V30+. Yesterday was a VERY good deal.

I paid 247 for the 7-10 condition on the sale day. As long as the screen is not scratched I will be happy.

That's kind of a bad dice roll man, because if the phone was used with a case, the screen is what scratches first.

My buddy just received his.....with the May security patch!!! Back it goes.

Of the two I bought recently my "mint" LS998 V330+ is truly flawless, while my 9/10 LS998 V30+ has a drop ding just north of the volume buttons. Otherwise flawless. With a case (which is necessary with these phones), that ding won't be seen. I must say the seller was honest in grading those two at least.

Does the May security patch prevent the conversion/bootloader unlock? I thought it was the June security patch that has that.

Of the two I bought recently my "mint" LS998 V330+ is truly flawless, while my 9/10 LS998 V30+ has a drop ding just north of the volume buttons. Otherwise flawless. With a case (which is necessary with these phones), that ding won't be seen. I must say the seller was honest in grading those two at least.

Sorry, I meant June. I'm very surprised it came with that. Hopefully no one else's come with it.

Did you test it to see if the patch really does block us on this?
Even if some of these can't be unlocked I'll bet you can get a better price just reselling it as is.

I won't be able to till this weekend. I'm thinking maybe we could just roll back the firmware?

How can they block the bootloader unlock if you can still flash US998 firmware? Does download mode still work?

We don't know where he gets them from. Hopefully it's a fluke.
