Last for update

Normally T-Mobile is on the forefront of updates in my opinion. All 3 other carriers have gotten their App2SD update.
Still hard to believe Verizon released an update before TMO.

Not just the other 3 carriers. AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, Canada version, and BOTH international versions. T-Mobile i guess just doesn't care about the Galaxy S4. which is their BEST flagship phone for now. Doesn't it make sense to support it with major updates like Apps2SD? But, no worries. after 1 week of waiting for t mobile, I just rooted AGAIN and installed a i9505 ROM.

Do we really need ANOTHER thread whining about this?
No one here on XDA can do anything about the OTA update. We can help you get teh features from the unreleased OTA on your phone now. But if you want to OTA, complain about it on the T Mobile forums.

Who cares? Just rock a rooted phone then unroot when it comes out. App 2 SD is so easy to get.

When I talked to T-mobile yesterday, they told me they were waiting for samsung to send them the update. Other users are saying that were told it will be released august or september.

But there arent any roms that I have seen that have both Wifi Calling and Apps2SD. If you know of a rom that has this please enlighten me.

I don't think any of them have both yet. Because Wi-Fi calling is a T-Mobile feature. But, since I don't really need it, I can settle for just Apps2SD

Why not just move to a carrier that doesn't suck at your house? Other wise just stop complaining? T-mobile gives you wifi calling so you can go through your normal daily lives....other carriers do not.
We should KNOW by now that T-mobile is still not the frontline of receiving updates from samsung. It goes through the popular services and than gets to t-mobile last. We see this time and time again, so i'm not sure why the complaints. Tmobile will be at the backline of everything just like international is on the front line of everthing, will this be always? let hope not.
So either be greatful for the wifi calling feature and wait around...or deal with it or move carrier.
I can flash international roms, so frankly I do not care one way or the other

Here's an idea. Root your phone, keep all the TMobile crap, and uninstall whatever you want. If you want a smoother experience, flash Ktoonz kernel.
Tmobile's not coming out with an update that's gonna be smoother than Ktoonz kernel. Bet that.

I did complain to them that their May 7 OTA was laggy and not acceptable as-is - plus lack of app-to-sd. They just sweep it under the rug - plus the "posters" there - what planet do they live on - lol? Or amybe all TMO employees..
In the meantime, Omega 9 with KT and ditto Wicked 5.1 with WiFi calling are doing just fine.

Lol these threads are addicting like xda sitcoms or something. I just have to read them. Plus I would love the update ^_^

Not hardly, since I am chatting online.

how many feakin apps are you people putting on your phone. I have about 6GB free on my phone at all times, get a 64GB, root, flash something other than stock rom and be done with it. Stock ROM is a huge piece of poop anyway. Never seen so much Lag

OK, seriously people. I will be watching this thread. If anyone gets a notification of a new update, please give us a heads up as soon as you can.
I am fine running stock ROM, but Android 4.3 is very tempting. Too bad it is so unstable ATM.

Here is the official T-Moble explanation for the delay:

They mention in there that people should stop calling to bug the customer service folks, since they don't know anything more than what is in this document.

Thats not an official explanation for this instance, it was written a year and a half ago. Its a blanket statement that explains nothing that pertains to what the hold up this time is.

I'm getting a free Gear VR as well. But, I didn't change any of my information to do so. All I did was submit my claim for the Gear VR and I was approved. I know Samsung had problems with the Note 7...but I just didn't see it as necessary to cheat the system. Enjoy the VR, though. I'm certain that I will.

Good to know.
It was a chance I didn't want to take, so I did much unnecessary CYA.

I've received the SD card and the Gear Fit 2. I'm going to give this a go with the exchange receipt and see if it flies.

I don't see where a Gear VR was ever offered with the N7. Does anyone have a link? I only see the SD card or Fit.

Anyway for international phones, such as the FD Duos version, to get a gift? I tried once back before the recall and it didn't except my IMEI number.

This... Seems really wrong. Morally speaking.

How so? Please explain your moral dilemma.

Photoshopping the receipt is a big nono to me. That is morally wrong with it. But enjoy it. We only get a 128 GB SD card if you pre-ordered it. If we are lucky, the phone will become for sale at the end of November. Perhaps we get a free fire extuingisher with it.

Wife just got a Verizon note 7 AFTER the recall (she's been waiting for it to go back on sale) anyways I entered in her information for gear vr and it was approved... I May try again for my recalled note 7 using your technique

Really guys? .. photoshopping the receipt to be eligible for rebate is fraud.. mod should close this thread.

hairy.areola said:
As one of the millions who received a recalled Note 7, I was curious if I could somehow score a second promotional item with my replacement device. My first prize, the 256gb SD card, arrived within a couple of weeks. Upon receiving my replacement Note 7 yesterday I went to the Samsung Promotions page and entered my new IMEI and WiFi MAC address. Then there's the required upload of the receipt of purchase. At this step I feared that Samsung may catch me double dipping if I submitted the same receipt, as T-Mobile does not give a new one with the swapped unit. As a T-Mobile customer, this paperwork is called the Jump On Demand EIP finance contract. I imported my PDF contract(TMO emailed to me with the original unit) in Photoshop and changed the date to yesterday's date, then switched a few digits of the contract number. Lo and behold this worked! Now I get a GearVR too!
Enjoy, my fellow nerds.

The promotion is not over, it is valid till 10/9.

I did this with my replacement Note 7 using the PDF EIP receipt from T-mobile. I didn't Photoshop anything and included the new IMEI and selected "other" for phone instead of S7/Edge.
If you look in the terms and conditions it mentions that the note 7 is included in this promotion. Perhaps they didn't want to highlight this fact in the promotion due to the recall? Anyway it shows that my claim is processed successfully!

And we in Europe get ****...

I applied and selected other as my device since the note 7 wasn't listed. It let me get to the email verification stage. We shall see.

Checked the website using the claim code they issued me and it says approved waiting for shipping. Thanks to the OP for the heads up. This takes the sting out of all the running around they have put me through. I used my exchange receipt, no Photoshop.

How do we send or Note 7 back to Verizon?

I traded mine in for a V20. It is suppose to arrive today in the mail. My question is how do i send back the Note 7? do i have to pay to send it in? not sure how this works.

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) !

No, I paid for an upgrade ($299)

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.

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

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?

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
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

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.

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.

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?

Update from Verizon - Pulled Back?

There was an update for my Verizon Note 10+ 5G which supposedly failed and was successfully rolled back. I checked again and tried the PC tools which give me an error message saying my firmware is not compatible with the PC update tool. (I am NOT rooted.) I checked again OTA and now it says there is no update which means Verizon must have pulled it! I see no issues operationally with the phone - Note my s/w version as well. Anybody else run into this?

With AT&T I'm more afraid of their updates and automated downloads/flashes than malware... lol, still on Pie.
Best to keep updates blocked, let it roll out and see how many get rolled over by it.
Give it a couple weeks and then decide.
With Q I'm still not satisfied enough to load it and as such the backlog of security updates remain pending.
Whatever.

I checked again OTA and now it says there is no update which means Verizon must have pulled it! I see no issues operationally with the phone - Note my s/w version as well. Anybody else run into this?

I don't think it was pulled. I got the update a couple of days ago with no failures.
I have the Verizon Note 10+ 5G. Stock not rooted.

Then why does it say my upgrade failed but I have the most up to date version!?!?? What build do you have, does it match the build number in the photo shown of my phone?

Girlfriends Verizon version got an update. She makes it known to tell me because of bad experiences with Verizon updates . I don't know what happened with hers though. She uses her pixel 4 as her personal but I'll ask.

Thank you for your reply but mine is specific to the Note 10+ 5G, so what you suggest is like comparing Apples to Oranges. I have noticed also as you can see by the photos originally supplied, although it tells me the update failed, the software version has changed and that may be why it also says there is no update available. I may actually be running the later version or not, there is no way to really tell, either way it was handled very sloppily by Verizon and is concerning.
However, I have also heard, Google will be discontinuing the Pixel line of phones so as they say, every company is screwed up, they are just screwed up different ways...!

I was talking about her note, she has 2 phones.

The August update is a battery hog and it's also caused Bluetooth issues. If I didn't have to wipe the phone, I'd go back to the July update. Maybe enough people complained and they quietly pulled it.

Once I get a stable load that's running well, I leave it alone. Been running both Windows and Android like this for many years with very little trouble. As you are keenly aware of tracking down an update issue can be very time consuming*. Many times a hard reset due to malware be easier. Malware on Android has caused me only one hard reset in over 6 years.
I herd dinosaurs, lol, I take a conservative approach to updates because many times the cure is worse than the disease. A bare bones updated Windows or Android machine runs faster... I hate waiting.
Carriers are partnered with Samsung and jam their own crapware and app graphics "updates" in their too on OS upgrades.
These can make it usable... I remember the horror of Lollipop on my S4+, destroyed it... thanks AT&T. Not.
That's one reason I'm still running on Pie... with no issues.
*may be a settings issue. My Pie load runs best with all power management turned off especially 3rd party including Samsung. A new update means a Google search won't yield many solutions for it.
The first app I block is AT&T updates... no joke.

I don't know. Look up that error code 410.
Like I said, I don't think it was pulled.

Odd. I'm not having battery or BT problems.
