Note 7 recall update - Verizon Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion

So I'm sure you all know that the recall is official . If you are keeping note 7 like i am September 30 is the projected date when you will be able to trade it for the newer version. A side note maybe this explains why people are having poor battery life since the batteries were made by an outside source. Just curious as in who is keeping their note 7 and who is not. If you are not what are you gonna trade it in for ?

Sept 30th is the deadline for returns/exchanges period. I spoke with a couple of different Verizon reps and apparently Verizon doesn't know when they are getting new devices.

I spoke to a Verizon employee yesterday and they said that date was for new shipment on phones maybe earlier.

I spoke with a Verizon rep. Like always don't know **** lol

Yea I'd guess they have to wait and see how this whole supply chain is going to effectively launch a second time before telling us everything.
I'll be grabbing a new one, why not if you love the phone. Week or 2 less wear and tear. And if you didn't get black maybe there's a chance to remedy one more poor choice in your life.

The in regards to battery life: I turn off syncing on apps that I don't use daily, and email addresses I rarely use. This seems to have helped my battery life tremendously.

Is Verizon giving a gift card or credit? Would think that might make people exchange.

I have no issues and wonderful battery life.

Same thing with T-mobile dude. They know it is released tomorrow and that is about it. They can't even give me a price when I call customer care! This is crazy.
Same here. Color me surprised...

You think thats frustrating? Verizon hasnt even acknowledged it exists
U.S. Celluar hasn't given a date other than "by the end of the month". We know the prices but that's all!! Seems like everyone is in this waiting game.
I just called sprint and they said that it will be available for purchase, not pre order on the 25th. I also asked a buddy of mine that is a district manager for t-cellular which is a third party seller for sprint and he said he would actual have the phone for sale. Not sure if that is accurate though, because best buy had no clue.

Could the lack of info on pricing be because they are waiting for the official "announcement" tomorrow. Samsung has event planned so maybe that is when they will announce prices for all carriers and flavors??

No, I worked for best buy and Verizon and T-Mobile. Oddly enough, T-Mobile people were the most informed because we had good communication from up top. Verizon was OK, not great, at giving us info. Best Buy is the worst. Not much training, they don't have answers, they pass stuff on that they change hours later. Incredibly disorganized.

[Q] Samsung 200$ trade in?

Is anyone doing the pre order your note 4,turn in your old phone get the difference up 200 back from Samsung?
Is it going to take 6-8 months for a check to come in ? Or is there an instant nature to this ?

If you pre-order from Best Buy then it is instant, but through any other carrier/retailer you'll wait like 8 weeks.
Here's a thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/200-trade-promotion-t2883637

6-8 weeks once its confirmed. Who knows how long it will take to confirm. I will assume it is probably 3-4 months to get the check.
Still odd why no specifics if this deal covers full price or not. The wording is vague and that is being kind.
The bb deal says trade in value may vary, so you could just get $10 for that $10 phone.
The Samsungish promotion is fishy.
sent using mobile data only. no broadband in Rural America as was promised by both Presidents Bush & Obama.
I called two local Best Buys and was told you simply get whatever the value of your trade in is. I'm trading in an HTC Evo 4G, I get $22.00 off of a Note4.
EDIT: But buying through Sprint, their website says Samsung will "match" your trade in value up to $200.00.

Well I called "two" BBs and neither knew anything about it. One guy even put me on hold for like three minutes come back and said he checked all his resources and couldn't find anything but the trade in for phone value deal. If anyone checks and gets other wise by all means let us know. Facts only though guys, be sure to check deep if you hear that so and so said..

Small 'blemish' (?) On the screen

On dark backgrounds or pages, sort of low on the screen, I always see a blueish blob apart from the rest of the screen. I've read that could be from pressure but I'm not very sure.. Any ideas? It's fairly annoying.

I tried chatting with a Moto rep online a week or so ago, told me to email him and I did, nothing back. I'm gonna call today and actually talk to someone. For me it's always there and it's a deal breaker. I've not heard about many others having this issue so I'm sure it's scant among devices but I'm worried about a refurbished phone having issues. But I'm gonna try calling and see what I can do. Do you have the regular manufacturer warranty or Moto Care?
Sent from my XT1575 using XDA Free mobile app
Regular warranty and I "resolved" it in 10 minutes via a chat session. I just explained the issue and they offered me a replacement right away. I paid $25 for expedited replacement which entails them sending me a refurbished (shipped in 5-6 days) with a $300 hold on my CC and then I have 5 days to return busted phone. That was on the night of the 20th. I'm giving them the benefit of business days and the weekend and hopefully it ships within a few days. I too am Leary of a refurbished phone.

Where is our MM

Didn't Samsung say February for marshmallow on our Note 4? Or was it March? Either way no update what so ever this month?
It was scheduled for this month.
Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk
This mo? Don't think so. The note 5, international mind you, has only just started seeing it as of yesterday so I wouldn't expect ours until towards the end of the second quarter at least. Besides you'll see an rdf pop up 1st once they actually start working on it then many more rdf versions until a final release. I'm dropping this phone the day the new g5 drops anyway. It's just uneceptible the g4 has marshmallow since Christmas along with practicality every other manufacturer except Samsung. The g5 looks to be a killer device too. Hope they really sink Samsungs ship with it honestly. Especially after the update fiasco for the note 4 last year. Typical Samsung fashion though. Rant over.

The G5 is a two-lens modular multi-featured camera pretending to be a smart phone.
If I want a modular high-quality digital camera, I'll buy one with a couple lenses I can switch between.
I want a smart phone, and I'm happy if it has nice camera features.
Each to his/her own, though.

Perhaps the release from Samsung was scheduled for this month - but Samsung releases to the carriers, at least in Sprint's case, and then the carrier does their thing with it until they deem it ready to release to their customers. Samsung doesn't set Sprint's schedule

International version would probably get it 1st before anyone then if that goes ok then they would release it to the carriers. At least that's how it usually goes. I've been keeping a close eye on sammobile for that to happen so hopefully soon.

Not necessarily - just because Sprint releases later than the international carriers doesn't mean that they receive it later. It's generally bad practice to openly treat some of your customers as guinea pigs for the benefit of the others, so it's more likely that Samsung sends out its generic rom to all carriers at the same time and Sprint just takes longer to add their proprietary bloat. It's also likely that Sprint waits to announce the upcoming version for the same reason xda devs don't do ETAs - because too many people take "estimate" to mean "promise" and get upset when delays happen.

It doesn't matter - either way brings us back to my original point, that Samsung's release dates are meaningless to us. We could get our update the next day, a year later, or never, with equal probability. The only useful deduction we can make from their release date is that we definitely *won't* see our update before that date, which really isn't very useful at all

Doze? Don't need it. I set my phone down on a wireless charger. It doesn't drain slowly, it charges.
Maybe after 8 months or more when they iron out all the issues, I'll consider it. By then, I'll probably have a new phone.
