Pretty much the title, i used ROG 5s before and even with 5s(previously used 5), the issue with hardware problem is still there, the phone died after 6 months and because i still have warranty i repaired them through asus center. are there also problems with 6? or should i pick up an iphone instead? thanks

Like title says, Dell stopped selling the Venue/Venue Pro on their web store recently.
The only devices still being sold are the S10 in china and the SPro in china and recently launched in Japan
This may be temporary, as there was an issue with the store that allowed some buyers to purchase $1 Dell Venue phones without a contract.
Even if it was, we're nearing the natural end of the venue's lifetime anyway.
Besides the fact dell kinda forgot to give support for it, it's already a year and change old. It launched before the S7 and the S7 stopped being sold before the V.
No surprises there. Venue was stuck on 2.2 and Dell had no interest in upgrading it ever. Which is a darn shame, it was a really solid phone built-wise.
If dell bothered to release 2.3.6/7 for 00 region devices instead of just 2.3.3 for 14 (kt) devices I wouldnt have any complaints.
While the V SHOULD get ICS because it's only a lil over a year old the internals are much older then that. There's very few/no 1st gen snapdragons getting ICS officially.
It's pretty much just that we're stuck on 2.2.x officially for a device that isnt that old.
Even that much is a streach, as the Streak Pro is only days old and it's still only 2.3.5 and not 2.3.6/7
erikgrad,
can you elaborate further regarding your reason why Dell stopped selling them on their website? Do you work for Dell? I was looking to purchase one online but it's no longer available. I am hoping Dell resumes selling them.
well....
Then Dell will be cut service for Venue...
Hi. I am debating between the Huawei Honor 5X and the BLU Vivo 5. I am leaning towards the Vivo 5 because of the 32GB internal storage and the 3GB RAM (as compared to the 16GB and 2GB in the Honor 5X). Has anyone used the Vivo 5 enough to comment on the GPS? Does it lose the signal often, or can it hold on to the signal all the time the GPS is used? I had asked this question in the Honor 5X forum and have received replies that the Honor 5X has no problem holding on to the GPS signal at all. Did anyone face GPS issues with the Vivo 5? Thanks!
Gps blu vivo 5
I've had my VIVO 5 for a week and used Google maps for driving several times. I haven't had problem yet.
I was worried about the LTE signal of the 5 compared with the VIVO XL as it only has 3 of the LTE bands that ATT uses; but I haven't had any issues with that as well.
I like the storage, the build is solid and I've had several compliments from iPhone owners about the phone already.
Again, I've only had it a week so far but I really like. I came from a Samsung Galaxy S4, which had a ton of issues with the manufacturing of the phone and sim card errors and signal problems(and that was Samsung). I might have had a lemon as well to give credit to Samsung.
I would keep checking BB and Amazon but if you see it's in, buy it quick. I kept checking and one day I bought it and the next day it was gone again.
I think the Honor 5 has some better specs though from what I've read(minus the ROM).
I was in the same position, pulled the trigger on the Vivo 5, brought 3 of them. Im still pretty amazed by how light the device is, from the build, OS, to how fast it is out the box. GPS works excellent, I've been using it for two days now hard core. Haven't had any issues at all.
Hello, I've been using my new BLU VIVO 5 during the last 3 weeks and I have not found any problems, GPS works perfectly, no signal is cut or there are delays, the duration of the battery is approximately 1 day and a half, normal use , the charging time of the battery is super fast.
Excellent phone!
Yes the battery charges super fast!!
Answer to GPS Question
I have been using my vivo 5 for about 3 months now and the GPS is excellent. I have been using Google Maps to travel all over California and it has never let me down. This is an amazing phone, don't let the price fool you...I have owned Galaxy S3, S4, S5, and S7 Edge and this phone outperforms up to the S5 and is just as good as the S7 in my opinion. Personally I will never go back to $200+ phones as long as BLU keeps up with products of this quality and crazy cheap cost. I am still in shock...the phone just keeps impressing me everyday. Soon it will be the talk of the Cell Phone Industry...I don't see it staying this cheap once the word is out and the public has seen the proof. I'm actually going to purchase a couple more for gifts. Currently not many cases available, but I'm sure once they become popular...and they will, we will start to see more cases and accessories. Plus the phone comes unlocked! And I could go on and on, but the specs are enough to impress anyone. Been using the camera...beautiful pics...and the panorama option is so easy to use and the photos are amazing. Sorry to ramble, but this is my first response about my Vivo 5. Trust me, you will love this phone.
What are your solutions to Verizon's plan to redirect calls made on the Note 7?

Verizon claims “thousands” of its customers still use the Note 7, plans to redirect all calls
Posted: 17 Jan 2017, 17:11, by Cosmin V.
In a strange turn of events, many Galaxy Note 7 buyers in the United States haven't returned their smartphones yet, even though Samsung has already taken all the necessary measures for that to happen.
The South Korean handset maker pushed software updates through all major carriers in the US, but the unlocked Galaxy Note 7 units were targeted too. The software update is meant to prevent the Note 7's battery to charge, but it will also make it impossible for the phone to register with any mobile networks.
Verizon was the last carrier in the US to push the update to Note 7 units, but it looks like this didn't convince some Samsung fans to return their phones. Verizon officials claim that “thousands” of its customers are still using the Galaxy Note 7 even after the deployment of the update that's meant to cripple them.
Somehow, these Note 7 users managed to avoid getting the update and continue to use their phones to this day. Since Verizon has already reimbursed the cost of the recalled Note 7 to all its customers, the carriers now plans to bill those who still haven't returned their phones for the full retail cost.
In spite of our best efforts, there are still customers using the recalled phones who have not returned or exchanged their Note 7 to the point of purchase. The recalled Note 7s pose a safety risk to our customers and those around them.
Furthermore, Verizon said that it will soon put all these Note 7 phones that are being used in a special category so all outgoing calls, except those made for the 911 emergency service, will be redirected to its customer service.
Verizon customers who still haven't returned their Galaxy Note 7 smartphones can still do so and receive a bill credit of up to $100 and a waived upgrade fee.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought it was illegal to charge for a recalled device? ?

Verizon says thousands of customers are still using the Galaxy Note 7.
This is the official word...
Does anybody have a workaround for what Verizon is about to do?
The only way i could think of the phone still functioning would be if the network didn't recognize it as a note 7, it would then allow the phone to function as normal. I believe getting into specifics is not allowed on these forums so lets just leave it at that.

That would involve changing the individual which is not legal and possibly a build prop edit to change the name of the phone. Possible using the imei off a s7 or any Samsung with similar specs. You would pay a good price to have a note 7 unblacklisted. You'd be better off getting a goophone note 7 clone. They were more stable than the real deal when it came to being a safety hazard. But this stuff messed up there clone phone sales. A phone you can't carry no where with out someone worried about it blowing up or catching fire even though it is a clone.

It would just simply be better if they got a S7 Edge + free money for accessories instead of trying to change IMEI. On S7 Edge we've got fully working AOSP based roms(even nexus like fingerprint unlock), as well as me and my team ported FlymeOS 6 recently. Come on guys. Let go, and enjoy all the nice stuff that S7 Edge offers. Even Official Nougat.

Exactly. I went with the pixel XL. I had a note 4 when I upgraded to the note 7. That was the problem free note I had. I keep a nexus 6p as my backup. There are true to heart Samsung fans out here, just to have Samsung pay(get a gear watch to keep sampay), to keep the record front and back video at the same time, Knox, TouchWiz, . Not worth the head aches on a $800 phone that has to be modded just to make phone call out. There are way too many flag ship Android phones that have surpassed the note7 in design and performance. What is the percentage of people that take full advantage of the stylus on the note series of phone. Most don't touch it. You have the Xiaomi mi mix, Huawei mate 9 and the p9 and the honor v8.

Hello guys,
I recently switched to a Xiaomi after my LG G4 died on me. Cash was low so i decided to buy an RN4. Now i knew i was going to probably face this issue i have because my friend has one and the same thing happened to him. Problem was after the official update to 7.0 data keeps dropping for 3-4 mins and then work again. While on 6.0 he didnt have any issues.
So i bought the phone updated to 7 and exactly the same issue. I have the global 4GB version he has the 3GB.

Anyone has any clue as to what is happening?
Thanx
Hello Folks,
I had a Nexus 9 wifi 16GB version ... its a very clean device which i got for a steal deal ... as it had only 16GB storage, i was on a constant lookout for a 32GB Motherboard/screen damage device at a good deal.
I finally came across one such listing which read as a 32GB wifi Nexus 9(with a stained screen, but fully functional), i went ahead and bought it, upon receiving it, the device turned out to be a Nexus 9 LTE 32GB device ...
This is when my Motherboard swapping plans hit a dead end ... Now i have the following options / questions.
Options
1. Use the LTE tab with the stained screen as a simple motherboard
2. Swap the LCDTouchscreen instead of the motherboard as a motherboard sway isn't an option anymore given the LTE version's motherboard obviously will not fit into a Nexus 9 wifi chassis.
to attempt the second option i need the following questions answered ... i am counting on the community to help me cross this bridge ...
1. Are the LCD/Touchscreen assembly the same for a wifi-only and an LTE device ?
2. Both the devices are pretty well maintained and the screen is flush and neat, I read through the ifixit teardown for this device and found that its quite a challenge to replace the LCD/touchscreen assembly, will it be a swap worth attempting ?
thanks in advance.
