It's not been an official recall, only a voluntary one. This is big as you'd have to return it and the CPSC are involved.

Sorry fellow Buckeye, but this actually is news. Samsung was previously doing an unofficial recall. An official recall in the US is different. For example, it will make it illegal for anyone to sell the recalled device.

Also, even new units may not be acceptable! Wow.
I swear the website and headline was updated after I originally clicked on it...it's completely different now. Holy crap, this is big!

Not good for those of us hoping for phones next week
The CPSC's involvement may change the pace of Note 7 exchanges, though. Samsung now says new Note 7s will be issued to existing buyers "upon completion of the CPSC process," and neither Samsung nor the CPSC offered a specific timetable beyond "as soon as possible."

Grow up. Samsung isn't doing anything to you. XDA is for people who want to load custom ROMs. There's at least three ICS ROMs available now in the dev forum. If you just want Samsung's (bloated) ICS, why are you here?

Well an official release sure would be good, don't you think? Along with complete working drivers.
Dont want an official release if it's going to be as bad as the sgs2 ICS ;-)
well, the one and only reason we're waiting for the officail release is to get the camera drivers. As far as I'm concerned everything else is working great in Kang rom.

What about my comment would suggest I don't think Samsung should do an official release? I'm just fed up with the whining. What's the point? It doesn't get us any closer to working camera drivers, and it's just mucking up the forum (which wouldn't be such a big deal if the mods would occasionally delete nonsense threads like this....).
BTW- for others thinking maybe Samsung reads these forums: they don't. XDA is (well, it was...) for power-users and devs. We are a tiny fraction of the customer base, and (if you know anything about the business) pretty unimportant. This isn't an insult; it's honesty.
Also, if you want a reason to be angry at Samsung, consider the way the workers in the factories are treated. You think Samsung treats you bad? Try being one of the young women that build the components in the factories, or the people who live nearby and can't drink the water from their own well... You've got it pretty good. You'll get ICS, stop whining on XDA. (BTW- this is directed at the OP, not Jay).

I totally agree, but that's what the report button is for. The mods have plenty to do and can't cover every thread in every forum. Reporting always works a treat for me.

Moving to Q&A
Wait, slack isn't it Apple factory who has it THAT bad? I'm pretty sure all the news headlines were directing it at apple. Samsung does treat it's people a bit better compared to apple.
I don't see how the release can be any different? I thought ICS was supposed to be, "one general OS for all devices" which mean's only minor changes need to be made to adjust to the platform it will be installed on as they already have all the official driver's ahead of time before release. Problem is they pamper the new devices and focus on them that they leave devices like GTab, in the dark.
I've quit anticipating the ICS release with Samsung's horrible "Survival of the fittest" stunt they pulled on which will and will not get the ICS update, no compensation pack was offered aswell despite their promise.
I recently heard that some rooting methods aren't all that great for rooting phones for e.g: when I rooted my s3 people constantly had a hard time hearing me speak when on the phone that being said what is the BEST root method?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note® 3
That would have nothing to do with it as far as I know. Root away.
The two most talked about here at XDA are CF-autoroot, and the kingo method.
Apparently the kingo allows to to potentially root w/o tripping the knox warranty counter. Which may or may not effect your Sprint warr. (but as soon as you install a custom recovery, it'll trip the knox.)
The other is the CF-autoroot, which trips the knox. Which may, or may not effect your Sprint warr.
The CF method was made and is maintained by our very own dev-extraordinaire Chainfire. Verified gold standard of rooting here on XDA. I recommend it.
Low call volume may be related to a rom you flash, but never "caused by rooting".

No it's not. Mine works great with Knox tripped. Don't know how you go from rooting then to tripping Knox causing problems. Don't root then.

Agreed. That makes no sense.
If you don't have a solid Reason for rooting, certainly don't do it.
And if you are actually worried about warranty, don't do it.

Also, after poking about a bit, it seems like you could be a little more gracious to the people you are asking help from.
You ask a fair amount, get good answers, and rarely respond with anything but another question, and never say thanks or hit the thanks button.
just saying.
most members here are too polite to mention such a thing. not me.
polish up on your forum community skills, man.
or you'll find people start ignoring your questions altogether.
Knox being triggered has no functional affect on the user experience. If you have to get your phone at Sprint it MAY be an issue but from my experience those guys are so dumb they won't realize and if they do realize they probably have their personal phones rooted and don't GAS

You're right, the people here in this forum, especially micmars as an example, don't "own" this site. But maybe with your exceptional observational skills you noticed that it's RUN by members, by users that create and foster a community of respect. And especially here in the Note3 forums, it's a small community of tight knit, well seasoned users, with Years of rooting/modding/general android experience, all of which have now seen you have no place here.
So you're right, it's irrelevant, to you. You won't be receiving ANY help from this community.

First off, this was clearly copy and pasted... Why does it say "Please unlock the bootloader of the SCH-I545, respectively". The word "respectively" would be used if there was multiple things being asked for, with different details to each... saying respectively lets you know that the list of details was given in the same order as the list of things those details apply to.
Secondly, who is "We" in the "We wouldn't want this device to be retired due to the fact that the people are not fully satisfied with it in its current state"? Because Samsung DEFINITELY wants you to retire you S4 and buy an S5...
Thirdly, that sounds vaguely like your trying to come off threatening... is that really the intent?
Lastly... Is this a letter I am supposed to send it? Its like the description of this petition but then has a generic [your name] at the end where I would expect the author of the petition to have signed?
I'm on your side and I found more things wrong with your petition the the number of sentences it features. Thats not good.
Please don't come back and say "OHHHH I DIDNT WRITE IT". If you didn't, please don't redistribute such crap... really poor representation of our requests.

If you want to watch thats fine.... but Its an Android Development community. You reposting ridiculous online petitions is certainly not bettering the community and honestly if I can do even a little to keep us from being represented by that piece of **** I will have done a great service.
If I were an executive, and got a letter/petition written like that, I'd just dismiss it as coming from someone having a hard time keeping up in middle school (and who's parents were actually paying for their phone). Seriously, that petition is a waste of time and effort.

I think the other threads died for a reason. It's a futile effort.
I'm pretty sure that I read recently that the Department of Defense just approved the Knox security system. What's that mean? Samsung can potentially sell millions of phones to the government, who is not interested in phones that can be hacked. Now, consider the hacking community. A couple of thousand potential hackers. Which do you think Samsung is more likely to pay attention to?

I wonder if the reason for that is because you have to purchase the phone outright in most cases, instead of making payments to a carrier. Maybe makes for a different mix in here than most of the other forums?

Perhaps, however I am on a contract maybe there are a lot of people who bought it outright? I think it's due to the volume of development, it paves the way for choice. When they're far and few between people tend to have shorter and less patient tempers.
Yup, great crowd in this corner of the site.
But this is off topic, so I'm going to close the thread now.
