Will AT&T turn off the phones in time if you do not return it? Maybe a couple months or ? I wouldn't be surprised if they did.
Thinking of my options and if I can hold off until the S8 release. BTW, I don't fly commercially, but they could cripple the phone so bad it could be pretty useless.

In just got a text from ATT saying that on Oct 15, all Note 7's will officially be banned on all flights by the FAA.
As for a shut down, its possible, but not confirmed. If it happens though, it'll most likely be a few months down the road. Enough time for people to find replacement phones. I wouldn't be surprised if it was soon after the S8 launch.

They're not going to remotely shut then all down.. Even in the policy and texts you notice that they say you're 'highly recommended' to return it. When it comes to installments, legally it may be smarter for them not to charge people, because then the 'loan' may be subject to lemon law or something similar, but that's over my pay grade.
For those worried about being shut down, just look at the Quickfire. That phone was recalled and people still have them on the network (probably only 2 or 3 after all this time). Point being, they can't just shut em off unless they can prove it's harmful to the network. While the note can seriously damage itself and possibly your leg, a defective battery can't hurt the network so we should be safe.
As silly as it is, I just can't bring myself to return it.. I've switched back to my 7 edge because work doesn't want us using Note 7's, but I'd like to keep it just on the off chance theres any new info. Definitely not paying $900 for a marshmallow device without updates though.

They've already started. My ver 1 note 7 has its imei magically blocked and I had my imei guys to get on it and there was nothing they could do. Only way is imei swap. Took me over an month to get someone natively American on the phone at Samsung to take my exchange instead of just hanging up like an idiot. I got mine from Craigslist.
So att is blocking imei?
I'm on my note 5..but my note 7 still works

They will block all imei's till the end of this month as I know, even if you try to unlock phone via code they won't provide it officially, I managed to request a code for unlock on this page for 30$ facebook.com/gsmserviceremote , it took 1 day and code worked

If you have yours from Craigslist, don't you think it's more plausible that whoever sold you the phone, may have ripped you off one way or another?
AT&T already stated you can use your note 7 until December 31st. Samsung plans to give everyone a free upgrade to the s8 for all of our troubles if you turned your note 7 in for another galaxy device.

This is so sad as soon as T-mobile let me take this this back I'm going to return my (Replaced v2 Note7) for my money back and maybe buy a used s7 edge til the Note8.
Sprint and AT&T already is letting customers return the newly replaced v2 Note7 for a full refund.
http://www.theverge.com/2016/10/7/13196456/sprint-galaxy-note-7-replacement-exchange
http://bgr.com/2016/10/07/galaxy-note-7-exchange-refund-sprint-t-mobile-att-verizon/
Sprint
Sprint was the first carrier to announce unconditional replacements for any customers with a Note 7. “If a Sprint customer with a replacement Note 7 has any concerns regarding their device, we will exchange it for any other device at any Sprint retail store during the investigation window,” a Sprint representative told Recode.
The return policy will presumably get customers the full retail price of the phone towards another device, and given the big sticker price on a Note 7, customers should be able to pick up just about any other smartphone.
T-Mobile
While T-Mobile doesn’t have a specific policy in place for Note 7 devices, the company also told Recode that customers with a Note 7 can use T-Mobile’s standard 14-day “remorse” policy to return or exchange their phone. The 14-day period starts from when customers picked up their replacement Note 7 devices, so most people should still be covered under that window.
AT&T
AT&T followed Sprint’s lead, telling The Verge that customers with a Note 7 can bring their phones into a store and exchange them for any other smartphone. There’s no specified window on how long you have to bring your device in, but given the ongoing investigation by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, it’s not likely to end any time soon.
Verizon
Verizon hasn’t fully outlined its exchange program, but it has committed to exchanging devices. In a statement, a Verizon spokesperson told BGR “for any Verizon customer concerned about the safety of their replacement Note7 smartphone, they will be able to exchange it for an alternate smartphone. We will provide additional details later today.”
T-Mobile is allowing it too.

Cool thx, I'm going to return then.
I'm going to wait and see if turns out to be a second recall. Looks like the carrier are getting jump on it maybe they know already there's going to be another recall. If they do recall it again you can forget about software updates from the carriers. Now I have to decide if I want to get the LG V20 or go back to the iPhone SE if they do a 2nd recall. Battery life on that little phone was awesome. Only phone I managed to get 1 1/2 days of usage before having to charge it. What a ride from the anticipation of receiving the device to this now. At least I got 2 256gb memory cards out of this ordeal.
ATT may stop selling the Note 7
http://www.technobuffalo.com/2016/1...-in-unprecedented-move-following-latest-fire/
keeps getting worse for the Note 7. If that happens most likely the rest of the carriers will follow through.
Wow this sucks, theres no other phone that I like out there right now either. Pixel looks nice but no sd cards kills it for me, the 4k will eat up the sd card, even with unlimited cloud storage. v20 is eh.... and iphone 7... well its an iphone...
Wow I just got my replacement today lol. I'm hoping it's just a one off that exploded I really like this phone and I don't want an official recall on V2.
The Pixel is the only other choice for me too but I don't think the camera on the Pixel will produce the depth that the note 7 does and I love those deep looking shots.
Just returned the Note7 v2 for a full refund. Using an LG G3 as a temp phone for now, tired of all these crap.
Welp, time to return my V2, and get another replacement Note 7, and do the 256GB SD Card trick again :'D. Then return that for a $50 restocking fee and get the Pixel.... /sarcasm
or was it?
I got mine the other. Everything is perfect, which I'm quite surprised lol. Did a back up restore and I thought it would get hot and it didn't. It wasn't even laggy while downloading and installing my apps. I seriously hope there is no recall. This phone just rocks at least for now.

It's over. Even if all three are proven to be false or another recall happens and they actually get it right, no airline will ever let you carry a note 7 again. Even if you get past security the little ***** sitting next to you will probably freak and scream you brought a bomb on the plane.
The average person thinks every phone is a iPhone or a Galaxy, you honestly think they will believe your device is safe if they find out it is a note 7?
If tmobile had any class they would give us at the very least our previous pre upgrade phone free of charge until the next note or whatever you decide to upgrade to. Instead many of us will be forced into buying a phone we don't want, wasting a Jump, etc.

I agree. I wish I could go back to August and just not buy the phone. I traded in my s7 edge and paid $180 to upgrade early. Not to mention the deposit for 2 notes. I will never see that money again. So I can get another s7 edge and be out the cash I paid to upgrade early and have to start back at payment number 1 out of 24. Feel like a rape victim from law and order.

I'm so glad I got rid of this epic failure of a phone! Unfortunately I decided to keep my wife's Note 7 so I now have to go through the whole [email protected] return process all over again..
I'm jumping ship. I can't keep going from device to device. I tinker way too damn much.
I need a device that I can root, hack hotspot and live with. I'll find it somewhere.
Sprint choices are slim.
Still have my original Note 7 (not replaced). Staying with it for now til I figure out what I want. Going to press Sprint hard to allow me to upgrade once a comperable phone comes out. Been with them for 17 years, so if they wont let me upgrade theyre losing a long time customer. Probably going to get an S7e, just really pissed about it.

wait until Oct 20 when the Google Pixel is out. I saw rumors it might work on Sprint network :good:
Went back to my Note 5. Returned Note 7 at corporate store already. The return actually went pretty smooth.
From what I hear there won't be a replacement. If there was I would keep my replacement one till they fixed the problem even if it was 2-3 months down the road. If I thought they wouldn't send a kill switch down and would actually support the phone with software upgrades I wouldn't even care and keep this one, but I have no use for a phone I can't get accessories or support for.
'my phone is running fine'.......I'm sure the one's that caught fire were running fine up to that point too. Just something to think about.
stay.
if there is no replacement. i'll wait until the Note 8 releases then walk in like "this is on recall, right?" and hand them my 7.

I have a pixel c and after playing with it for a while I don't know if I would go the pixel route for a phone or not. Spec wise it's great and it works fairly well but it's just boring. It's neat but it isn't even in the same league as the N7. The phone could be better or it could be the same. Who knows?
I did see the pixel was being built by hTC though and I decided a long time ago that I didn't like the direction HTC was headed as a company and stopped buying their products.

So I had the first note 7 that got recalled I bought offline from someone, not directly thru sprint. Not one Sprint store would exchange it for the revised version before so I had to call telesales with sprint and they mailed me a replacement. Well now after 4 days of having it, they made the 2nd recall. Will a Corp sprint store take my replacement phone back for a refund or exchange for another phone? Or am I stuck with the revised note 7? I'm not having any problems with mine but I'm sure this phone isn't going to get anymore software updates or support since the recall

They should exchange your phone or refund.
To those of you who choose to keep the phone, realize that you'll be the only one liable for any damages now that the phone has been recalled - even if it causes your house to burn down with your family inside.
Even worse, if you ignore the warnings and your phone burns someone else's house down, they'll also have nobody to blame (and sue) but you.

I checked my account.. I didn't notice no eip balance either
What a trip... my blood pressure is pretty high from this ordeal. I ended up getting the Xperia XZ. As a huge trade off in features, there's very little Sony bloat and no carrier bloat since it's an unlocked device. Overall there's hardly any lag, and Swiftkey is default. Battery life is awesome, too!
Last week I hit up the local AT&T corporate store to return the 2nd device for a refund, and they said they would check if it's within their store policy. Sales rep asked why I didn't want to exchange it, and I told her I already have another phone. She had trouble processing the return, and since it was late she said she'd figure it out and let let me know the next day. A whole week went by, and I tried calling her a few times to no availability. This past Saturday my cousin, the account holder, found out we were still getting charged for the Note 7 so I told him the story. I tried calling the store and no one answered. He also happens to work for an AT&T store in his city, and he couldn't get a hold of anyone either. So he 3-way called with the store and an AT&T rep and got a hold with the manager at the store. He had to "teach" her how to process it for a refund and got a hold of the IMEI off my Xperia XZ. He also scolded her for keeping my phone without giving me paper work or feedback since it's a liability issue. I honestly hate that store, and after speaking with the manager he suggested I stay away from them.
Everything went well until I lost service that night: no data and intermittent SMS. So on Sunday I was in touch with live chat for about 2 hours. The IMEI was mismatched. Got that corrected, but no LTE. Service rep wanted to check to see if my phone supports LTE. I told him YES because it was working the entire week until the Note 7 billing dilemma popped up and resolved. He later concluded my SIM was not provisioned for LTE and that he can fix that for free by sending me a new card. I'm confused this card came off the Note 7 and my Xperia had great success with LTE up until they screwed around with the IMEI on my line. The least I got was 4G. Today, no 4G or anything. My new SIM should arrive tomorrow, and hopefully it fixes these issues. AT&T has been nothing but problematic for me ever since I switched to the Note 7 and joined my cousin's plan.

This isn't going to fix your issue if they have the IMEI of the Xperia device. Take the IMEI from any ATT LTE enabled phone, and give them that IMEI. ATT network does not allow non-ATT phones that don't have EVERY LTE band to connect to their LTE. I went through this issue for about a month with a T-mobile note 5. Gave them the IMEI of a display note 5 in store, and boom LTE all day.
Staying.. I just left Sprint ,,,its only voluntary. I was told check the back of your phone if it says made in China.... keep it. Its not in any danger any more than anyother lithium ion battery pho which is all cell phones.

I just flew they told me to power my note 7 down that was it
Social media killed the Note 7 not Samsung. The hand was forced because people blew it out of proportion! I still have my day one Note 7 (which is the china version) and I haven't had any problems and doubt I will. People just kept sharing it and the media kept fueling the fire. I don't plan on giving my phone up. They'll have to deactivate them in order for me to consider something else. I'll just end up paying full price to buy the next Note if they decide not to deactivate them.
I'm not giving mine up either. We need to start a root bounty. It's unlikely that any of the good devs will put any work in, but maybe. This phone has potential to be a cult classic. I saw that someone actually got CM 13 working on the exynos Note 5, so maybe that could happen here. I hate this locked bootloader. Sprint has always played nice until recently. I emailed Chainfire and begged him to find a root method, but I never got a response. You guys should email him too.
Out of all the note 7 owners left, no one is capable of rooting it? I just got a message today from sprint, with a video nonetheless telling me i will experience service interruptions if i don't return it

Interesting that I didn't get that message. Rooting won't help service interruptions from Sprint. If you can unlock to use on a different carrier then it's a different story.

PROCESS A FULL REFUND FOR ANY SCREEN PROTECTORS $10.00 EACH AND PHONE CASES $25.00 EACH PHONE REFUND 849.99. THEY'LL SEND YOU A BOX THEN A CHECK FOR THE TOTAL.. DONE PAY SPRINT BACK THE DIFFERENCE OR KEEP THE MONEY IF PAID IT IN FULL... IM DONE.. I use my phone exclusively for my lively hood.. I found a new Note 4 for 200.00 bucks ran smart switch and moved on.... I'll wait for a Month after Note 8 comes out before I jump again on it.

Called samsung today ..they gave me 900 for my note 7 and said 5-6 weeks total turn around ...told me thats just intime for the note 8:fingers-crossed:
Sprint told me let samsung buy the device because best i can get from sprint is $100 usd and they already deleted note 7s from inventory ...so call samsung up...
For thoose that still have a Note 7 ... http://www.sammobile.com/2016/12/09...disabled-via-update-in-the-us-on-december-19/
Sprint just filed a refund of $400 for the 2 year contract price of our Note 7 and reset upgrade eligibility despite it being eligible.
I was hoping to hold out for S7 Edge price drop or the S8. I'd prefer not to downgrade to a year old phone at this point.
The $75 credit is enticing, but the S7 Edge is still $299 on 2-year contract so it's a token gesture. I'll just wait for the S8.
The text I got from Sprint today said beginning Jan 8 the Samsung death update will start being pushed out. The update will stop the ability to charge the phone and remove mobile functionality.

Confirmed, this appears to work. I just got off the phone with Samsung. I was told that they are sending a shipping box and I have to return the phone. 10 - 14 days after they receive it, I will get a check for the full amount plus $35 (case & screen protector). i still have my Note 5 so that should get me by until the S8 comes out.

don't get on here much anymore, but saw I had notifications where I said this would happen and was told I was wrong.
I said this was coming in October and everyone said it couldn't happen, that inside sources said it wouldn't happen.
just...LOL?

lol, just find it funny. I am sure the phones being fairly locked down has a large role to play, but the majority of people on these forums anymore have such a small level of understanding of how everything works compared to even 3-4 years ago.
so, anybody still using their N7? Mine is still charging 100% and Samsung Pay is still rocking

Bone stock.
I still have mine. Still running on Sprint network. Been rooted since day 1.
Mine is running stock as well. but It's starting to get super buggy. , Ariel_PR, what root are you using and does it support S-Pen features?
running Stock, All good here. using nonroot firewall to prevent an update.

I rooted using the Super Leaky Bros method. I'm using the userdebug root with the PH9 firmware add-on (or whatever its called.) Literally everything works perfectly (including S-Pen.) But I don't think Samsung/Android Pay will work since its rooted.
so, you guys gunna get the S8+ or wait for the Note 8?
