Just thought I'd say hi and introduce myself. Been an avid moto supporter for over a decade. My last moto was the atrix 4g, which I got on a plan a little over a year ago. Since then I had a radio failure that moto repaired under warranty. The last couple months I had digitizer troubles. 2 horizontal dead spots that made using the phone an exercise in frustration. Ordered the digitizer, as moto was touting the ICS update rollout for q3. Got the phone dismantled only to find a torn ribbon cable (unsure if that was my bad or not), so ordered a ribbon cable. Would take a couple weeks to arrive and couldn't wait that long to possibly find out the atrix is still FUBAR (I own a business and rely on my phone heavily to keep me on the straight and narrow), so I ordered a Galaxy I9300 which will arrive by mid next week. Just heard moto will not be updating the atix and I've read JB has been leaked for the I9300 recently, so I'm very pleased by my decision to leave moto behind. Seen an S2 in action and am very impressed with their ability. Guess the atrix will just be a backup in a drawer if the repairs work. Anyway, hello from Merritt BC Canada!

Man, you gotta learn word-wrapping.
It's really hard to follow what you written when all the words are just a big mess.
Make sure then that its the International I9300 not some other variant .
As per the sticky .

Though, we now seem to have somehow started talking about food and various ways to...uhm...interact with said food...in certain uncanny ways.
I have went without a phone in favor of the Note 8 and 10.1 tablets the last year but came back home.
Owned Note and Note 2 and I can say this 3 is damn near perfect. A birthday gift from the wife.
Was gonna get the 4 but there is not enough there to warrant the extra cash for me anyway.
If not mentioned before , get the app My stylus Beta. Trust me, you will fall more in love with this phone than ever . It is that good an app.
Anyway, good to be back and I will see you peoples around.
Oh, and if you have any questions I will do my best to help no matter what. I have screwed with phones since my Hero rooting days.
Hi all, today i got an email from OnePlus saying "You're Invited". I just checked my mail twice to believe that and it was there. Now after almost 4 years of extensive use of my HTC Senny its time to say goodbye (I'm surely gonna miss it), I ordered a OnePlus 2 today from amazon.in . I was never a stock andorid fan (I'm a Sense freak), but the specifications and price of OPT blew my mind. I would be posting my review of OPT once i get my hands on it. Hoping for a kickas* development for OPT (XDA never disappoints).
Congrats!
Thanks for the info! But thread closed now. :good:

I received a Nexus Q at Google I/O 2012 and have barely used it since. I sold it on Ebay last year but the buyer sent it back after finding out it was no longer supported by Google. Unfortunately he sent it back without its box
I would love to send it to a good home, and this seems like the right forum to ask. Would anyone like my Nexus Q (with power cable and HDMI cable), for whatever it costs to ship it to you?
I would love to have it

Damn, I'd love to get my hands on that round baby! I always wanted to have that thing since it's first intro at I/O 2012 (I also liked the Microsoft Kins, so don't tell me it failed:silly
if you still have it I would love to have it to add to my Nexus collection.

I'll take it if you still have it... Have a small tech-themes coffee shop in MI; would set it up as a Chromecast hooked to retro speakers to customers could beam music to it (assuming that's still possible).

Assuming that the accounts of the v2 fires are correct,
1) if you have a note 7, might as well keep it until you need the cash. I'm pretty certain that Samsung will discontinue the note 7 and try to buy back all the existing ones at full price. There wouldn't be a time limit to return it since it's owners right to keep it and if they decide to stop buying it back, it'll just look even worse when another one goes up in smokes. This means you have essentially a loaner/ beater phone at least until a phone you like better comes out. S8 might be only half a year from now. Regardless you should be careful especially if you don't have a v1. If you leave your phone in water when you're not using it, it should mitigate fires.
2) if you have a v1, you're better off since these only burn if you're charging. I think if you use the fast wireless charger, it'll be even more safe.
overall, I highly regret exchanging my v1 for a 2
Sorry, but assume makes an ass out of u and me. I'm happy with my Note.

It's wait and see what Samsung will do.
This phone is worthless now even with the replacement units. The shops won't buy it used.

I think the problems with the V2 are overblown and they have not been fully investigated. Suspiciously, some owners of faulty devices won't give them to Samsung for inspection. But rumour of production being halted is worrying. I'll not hand in my device. Best smartphone I ever owner.

Best device I've ever owned too.. But if they won't lift the ban on planes, I'm have to give this up when it's recalled. Worse if it's not recalled but the ban isn't lifted.
Very upset about this media fuss....
I am very happy with my v2 Note 7 but,...
- I expect little to none future support.
- I fly quite a lot so I expect some frustration
- extremely poor value if I want to sell it.
Sadly, future of the N7 do not look nice. Even though I think it is the best phone at present.
So sad...

My fall back is to get the dual SIM one plus three. Relatively cheap and can use on aeroplanes. Keep Note 7 for other activities.

I will still keep my note 7, this is the best phone I can get in the current market~
Hope Samsung can totally solve this problem.... Note 7 was a nice phone overall...

I owned "v1" for 45 day (from Aug 17th to Oct 1st ), daily charge, no issue at all.
I own "v2" for 9 days now (from Oct 1st), still no issue with daily charge. not even slight warming.
I am not sure if my rational is valid, but once the device go through a dozen or so complete power cycle, there is properly nothing wrong with the battery , since it's a manufacturing defect, it should be caught early if it exist.
And I do believe it's a manufacturing defect as opposed to a defect by design, because if it was by design most likely there will be a lot more cases than a dozen out of millions.
If you are concerned about your device, I guess for now just disable the fast charging and only charge it to 80% or so.

Are you sure US carriers will let you trade it in at anytime ? Because I want to get the iPhone 7 plus but verizon won't ship till late November.. will they let me keep it till then or is there a window to return my note 7? It is also leased will they reimburse the payments and tax that i paid? Seems so complicating

Samsung Kills Off Galaxy Note 7 Smartphone...Sorry to say...So Long...Goodbye!
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/12/business/international/samsung-galaxy-note7-terminated.html?_r=0
Some real brilliant mouths out there are saying Sammy should kill the Note line all together..I think that's a bad mistake because that's Samsungs Flagship that battles the Iphone juggernaut and I will forever be pissed off if I cant have my Sammy Note device!
I do feel that this totally sucks ..I love the phone and have the V2
I have ordered the Pixel XL but it simply doesn't have the capabilities of the Note 7 so I am in a pickle I guess I can keep it till the G8 comes out but I sure hate to think Ill have to eat $928 in the long run and "YES" I was thinking while in bed late night....what if all of a sudden I smell smoke ??
For those of us that switched carriers and don't have a backup phone, this kind of leaves us in an inconvenient position. Samsung should at least give us a loaner phone until we decide the phone we want if they want us to return the note 7. For now, using the note 7 as a loaner device is more rational than returning it and buying a phone that we are not content with.
Also, make sure to not bring the Note 7 on the plane! That is one place that can have tragic consequences not worth the risk.
There will be some collectors and last few pieces will go for double the price

All these problems are only in USA
here in dubai my replacement works fine :fingers-crossed:
Heres my take on the situation. Samsung has NOT completed their investigation yet, and until they do, for all anyone knows, the devices were mistreated horribly by their users. Out of FOUR MILLION phones, only 35 explode, and of the replacement units only 7? Lets say the first generation was bad, and only count the replacements. 7 out of 4 million. That is a 0.000175% chance of your phone exploding. So, they discontinued the line for less than an even 1% chance, without waiting for the investigation to be completed? COME ON. A 0.000175 chance of a phone exploding is not enough to say that the 7 users who had problems... Didn't tamper with the phone in some horrible way: IE severe drop testing, severe underwater testing, etc. They arent even considering user error as a factor here.
I for one will not even be looking into returning mine until they announce the investigation is complete AND announce the results of said investigation.

2.5 million units sold.
35 reported cases when Samsung announced the first exchange. There could be more in between.
And the final nail was 6 cases in as many days, all replacement units in the US alone.
I am also very reluctant to return my Note 7. But Samsung themselevs can't figure out what's actually causing it to blow up. The incidents appear to be very spontaneous and random. Even when the unit is turned off or not charging.
I am also not sure if I should take the risk and keep it. I know, officially and legally, we've already been advised to shut it off and not use it. So any damages or injuries from here is purely at our own risk.
Samsung could continue with their investigations. Question is, if they finally figure out what went wrong, will they refurbish it and continue supporting the device for diehards like us? Or will they just take this lesson and apply it to the next model?
There is also a possibility that Samsung could release a firmware to cripple the phone entirely. They managed to limit the charging to 60/80%, they can do far worse.
Too many questions, so little answers.
