Hi guys,
Do you know when the note 7 will be back in stores now? How long should we expect?
Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
6-8 weeks.
Probably 2-3 weeks. Maybe more.
Can you please provide us how did you know if 2-3 weeks or 6-8 weeks? I think you're both mistaken.. Please don't answer randomly. Be specific and provide a proof.
I'm so frustrated for not having pre-ordered it, and now i'm unable to know when it will be back in stores... i should have bought it on Samsung store or Amazon when it was still there... arghhhhh

Samsung told me it would be a minimum of 3 weeks to get a replacement for my faulty Note 7. They will replace all the faulty Note 7s then restock the stores. That will be I would say around 6-8 weeks.

In Israel official launch for those who preordered should have begun tomorrow...
But now It's unclear, samsung officials have no Idea when the device is coming.
Im so disappointed, I am waiting since april for the device, and I would gladly pay for an expolding device and take that minimal risk it has a defect.
An exploding note7 is much better than my current LG G2 mini..
To be honest I think they should exchange our phones first. We are dealing with potential life/fire/explosion hazard so...
No one knows the answer to the OP's question not even, in fact especially, Samsung. WE are all going to just have to wait this one out. It will make ownership when it comes even more of a delight.
I hope they take the time to sort the CG glass problem out.
I guess non of us are good at waiting eh!

From what Samsung announced that is the idea. Those who own them will be the first to have a replacement unit. :highfive:

I contacted Samsung (from UK) they told me in 2 weeks I will have a replacement. They also told me in 7 days I will be contacted with an update.

That is why Samsung told everyone to stop using it (... and put it in a blast proof casing. )
I just saw in the Netherland the stores say more than 4 weeks to indicate the availability of the product!
Will samsung wait all this time? A lot of people with preorders could take another phone, especially now that iphone is available

This is indeed a problem. Have you noticed though that all reviewers and many customers moan about paying 880€ for the Note 7 but no one is moaning about the cost of the iPhone 7 that is some areas is superior to the Note 7 and in other areas inferior. The iPhone 7 here would cost me 250€ MORE!
Both good mobiles and though very different will please most of their customer clientele.
I have my Note 7 on order due to exchange programme and am fortunate enough to be able to wait. I am still using my SG S6 Edge +. After using an S-AMOLED QHD screen no way could I return to IPS FHD technology, just my choice. I respect others. :good:

eh eh, what you ask me is about Cupertino marketing perception. I would go really off topic to reply on that, and would not be enough exhaustive.
Just hope Samsung will manage well this moment of crisis, otherwise from my side not big deal. Theirs Android concurrent will gain more market space, and for me this is nice as well. After all even a fragmented Android market is far more strong than Apple without Jobs.
More competition, more benefits for us, and next time samsung: do not be so greed... make telephone that can be open... all your problems would be now vanished:angel:, if you really want to give us water resistant features do a decent cover that REALLY goes under water

Hi everybody,
I heard some rumors about the Nexus listed as EOL in various big electronic shops in Germany.
In addition to that, lots of european webshops stopped selling the Nexus after a nasty rise in selling price for the last weeks.
Can anyone comment on that with reliable informations?
the internet told me the phone was at EOL 1 year ago!
My carrier in Canada dropped the Nexus 3 months after first putting it on sale. Even Samsung has admitted in one of the patent trials with Apple that Nexus sales have been "insignificant". The Nexus has been dead as a consumer product for at least 6 months. However, that doesn't mean it is a bad phone. It just means that all the sheeple swayed by CPU cores and megapixels quickly move on to the newest and "best" thing.
EOL means that a certain carrier or OEM will stop giving updates. Since the updates come directly from Google, only Google can determine the EOL, not some shop in Germany or a Canadian carrier. Keep in mind, the Nexus S has received its jellybean update, so I don't think EOL will come anytime soon for the Gnex.
All major stores in the UK have stopped selling it and haven't had it for about 7 months.
I suspect it'll get at least the next update (4.2? 5.0?) If google gets their act together, possibly even more - it's not like the hardware is too limited.
And, of course, xda end of life would be at least a year after that, if not more.
^ Yep. It will be a looong time before the software is too much for the hardware..if ever.

all you gotta do is look at the Nexus S. Still kicking, and strongly. And the Galaxy Nexus is a stronger device hardware-wise.
no EOL in sight!
Yes OP it has been EOL-ed in Malaysia. However, like everyone mentioned, nothing to worry about flash yakju or a custom rom and you will never worry about EOL. Unless if you want to buy another galaxy nexus. Then the best time to buy is now before they go out of sale if they haven't already. Or wait for the next nexus.

Out of Stock has nothing to do with End of Life.
Uh... EOL means the device is no longer manufactured, which will usually follow with less to no software support. The Galaxy Nexus won't be EOL anywhere for quite, quite some time.
Sent from my Stock AOSP Android 4.1.1 Galaxy Nexus
educate yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-of-life_(product)
granted, the definition is not carved in stone, but as for the Galaxy Nexus I guess we're nearing EOS after the price drops and massive sales in the states and elsewhere. nothing to worry about, Apple does the same with "discontinued" hardware still piling up in their warehouses such as the iPad 2 or iPhone 4S as soon as a successor device is on the horizon. and with the GNex it seems we're in for quite a selection of successor devices before year's end so it's just natural that Google and Samsung stopped production probably some months ago and cleared their warehouses over the last 2 months.
remember, in August 2012 the Nexus S (introduced in December 2010) got upgraded to 4.1.1 JB. I'd guess the GNex will get current firmware versions from Google well into 2014. Keep calm and carry on, guys. It's a Nexus after all ^^

This post seems awfully random...
I guess just as much as mine...
Even if the Nexus reaches EOL, it was a pretty decent phone and will have community support for a good while. My ONLY complaint about my Nexus is the USB storage transfer fiasco. I understand technically what its doing, and I understand why they did what they did. That don't make me any happier though. I've found newer ways to transfer files from my pc or other devices to my Nexus, I just wish the ease of USB Mass Storage was there...

My Samsung Galaxy Note7 was manufactured in Vietnam on August 26th? I got the Note7 from Three UK, does that mean I am unaffected?
Seems dubious to me could be wrong but why single out one supplier (ebay seller?) bad wording errors if that was the case then why is it not posted on Samsung's sites.

Well, could be any number of reasons, maybe it just got released internally?, no idea. It does makes more sense to me that those devices affected can be identified by some sort of triage, rather than recalling all devices (which semed odd since the start). I followed the QR code and it des link to samsung website. I am not saying that this is 100% true, but it does make sense. Posted this to stop the massive Note 7 abuse before someone may regret it
I agree, this is a badly written letter and looks completely fake.
.
I am not convinced quite yet.
It's badly written because it's written by Asians? Perhaps?
I am Asian by the way. And this is fine. I've seen far worse letters than this.

I don't disagree.
However, I'd wait for tomorrow. It's the weekends here, so I'll look out for Monday for any kind of announcement.
I would really hope that this company wouldn't fake an internal letter like this. I wouldn't be surprised if Samsung took a faked letter like this extremely seriously considering the circumstances. So I'm on the fence in this one but really hope someone wouldn't take that chance. It has a customer number on it. Someone could easily call Samsung and get this verified.
Sent from my SM-N930F using Tapatalk
Fake. There is no chance they would publicly announce a world wide recall, then a day later say 'Oops, we mean world wide recall. Except for this batch of phones. Our bad.' If they where wrong about that batch of phones they would get crucified. Nope, that seller just doesn't want to deal with the headache of returning all the units they sold, and returning all that money.
So if you bought from this seller you stuck with the phone you have or file a case with eBay and get your money back since you're within 30day eBay return policy and buy another device when they are fixed. That's your only two choices.
Sent from my SM-N930F using Tapatalk
My UK Note7 pre-order was canceled on the 1st Sept, so I'm waiting to see if Samsung can narrow down affected batches and release the unaffected devices...
If you want to check the date your Note 7 or any Samsung device was manufactured type this into the phone dialer *#12580*369# the "RF Cal" field is the date of device manufacture, if that information even helps in anyway Im not sure yet.
A worldwide recall is just that. Every phone that was sold. This letter is total BS.
This is one of many reasons why eBay just even an option to buy stuff for me. If it isnt Amazonable then it's not worth it, I get you want a deal and access to unlocked devices and whatnot but eBay has and will always be that "scummy dark alley" place for sellers, and by the looks of this letter (which looks so sketchy) this is another prime example of that. I wouldn't trust this at all, looks like he's just wants to keep his money and not deal with returns.

Yes. If it were real, Samsung should fire their PR. You don't go anouncing a worldwide recall and then say whoops, we didn't mean it. And wait a whole weekend to correct it. This is a huge blow for them and it is exceptionally hard on us customers worrying we might have ticking time bombs in our possesion. If they back out of their statement after a weekend of not caring, they will ruin their reputation further. They will appear non credible. Excuse me but exploding phones warrant Samsung managment and PR works all weekend!
I agree. This letter is fake. It's a (mostly) well done fake, but a fake. IMO, it's Tropical trying to keep from having to take back all the phones they've sold.
In the US and the EU they would have little choice, in Singapore I'm not sure if they can weasel out of it or not.
I've already received my email from Amazon saying that they will send a full refund for the phone and any accessories I have purchased there. It was not this seller (Tropical) but of course as an FD model it is grey market and was sold without warranty. The email also said that if I sold the phone I should notify the person I sold it to so that they can return it for a refund. Lastly it stated that the return hadn't been hashed out yet and not to send it until they were ready.
I'm going to extrapolate a little here with a few guesses. The fact that Amazon also specifically mentioned a further buyer and my phone is already grey market implies that Samsung is going after all the phones regardless of where/how they were purchased. That they don't want me to send it yet gives me the impression they don't know exactly what they are going to do with it or how the process will go which would mean Samsung hasn't yet hashed it out internally how they will handle the grey market phones and given that information to those that sold them.
Those are guesses Gents, I have no special knowledge, I'm just reading the tea leaves.
I bought my phone from LuLu Mall here from Riyadh ( SA ).
Model is : SM N930FD
Made in Vietnam.
How we can confirm that my phone will also come under the recall process ? I have been using the device for like past 3 days and i don't feel any Lag, battery drain or Over heating while charging or using the phone.
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!!!

In Canada I did the trade. Walked out with an S7E and $300+ in cash.
The ban means security can take it away. Airlines have fireproof bags if one is found on board. If you are caught with one on board you will be charged.

http://corporate.alitalia.it/en/media/press-releases-sai/2016-10-15.html
the ban is so bad until the whole phone is tainted , removing battery doesnt get you thru too , hmmm the power of media hype
if the phone is seen as a threat and by the fact it has been discontinued and recalled even the manufacturer has deemed the device unsafe for the public, so really them being given a total ban from air travel (a place where them failing is most dangerous) is not bad it is just common sense, even the boxes sent out by Samsung say that they are only to be sent by ground transport, so when the manufacturer is saying not to take them on flights in protective boxes it makes the idea of taking them in your pocket or bag on a plane sound even more unadvisable.
it gets better
It is now a federal crime to bring a Galaxy Note 7 onto an airplane
http://www.theverge.com/2016/10/16/...federal-crime-federal-aviation-administration

Passengers who bring a Note 7 onto a plane are "subject to civil penalties of up to $179,933 for each violation for each day they are found to be in violation (49 U.S.C. 5123)," and could be prosecuted, which could "result in fines under title 18, imprisonment of up to ten years, or both (49 U.S.C. 5124)."

I think people want to keep their phones, because there isn't a good replacement for the S Pen and they have to sign 2 year contracts

Samsung has stated pretty clearly that they are willing to buy back the devices and they're offering full refunds on the price which would mean if you go that route and you get the money you can pay off the contract with the money they provide to you. It might not be a really easy thing, done with a single phone call, but I have no reason to think Samsung won't follow through and offer a refund for every Note 7 that people who still possess them care to send back.
Of course a lot of people at this point are already looking for ways to weasel out of such contracts and get another device in exchange and the $100 credit and not have to pay their carrier a penny and they're even going so far as to think Samsung should give them a discount or credit towards whatever the next flagship device happens to be.
Such practices are becoming all too common in our world and it's pretty disgusting when it does.
Just FYI stuff but I flew Delta from Jacksonville NYC and back last week. They announced the ban on the Note 7 many times in the airport and on the plane. But, I never saw anyone check anyone's phone. Maybe they can tell when the phones roll through the x-ray machine or something. The announcement said if you had one please bring it to the desk (in the airport), or to give it to a flight attendant if you had it on the plane. Seemed kind of "lax" to me.............
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?

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 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.
Nope.

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?
