Loose earpiece grill

The ear piece grill on mine is loose. Checked my note 3 and it's not the same. Check yours just in case. I may sound a bit picky but I just spent $749 + tax on this. Gonna get it exchanged.

Will t-mobile even exchange for that?

the one on my Note 2 kinda does that. but i never noticed until now until you brought it up. hmm...guess it didn't bother me or it didn't really cause a problem.
the one on my Note 3 on the other hand....it's rock solid. like welded into place.

They will but you would have to send it back since it was purchased online.

Yes you do have to send it back but after you get the replacement. I've done exchanges with them before. They've sent me a replacement but they have to put a charge on the account. If the defective one doesn't come back then they don't remove the charge.

is higher on the left side... I noticed that too...
man... to be honest... I completely understand your felling and frustration... even a small imperfection like this can make me crazy too. In my case I always inspect the screen looking for dead pixels (I usually install dead pixels app from the store)... and I have returned many phones because of this. (Including Note 3) In other words... like you mentioned... is your money, and if you are not 100% happy... return it... better live a week or 2 without the Note 4 than a year or more with the problem in your mind every single day...

Ya I'll be fine as long as it gets replaced. But since I bought online they will have different stock status than stores. Hopefully they've reserved some for replacements. I'll find out in a few.

Just checked my white note 4. The speaker on mine is fine. I'd return it if I were you.

It looks like assembly problem. It appears that your speakers grill sits on top of foam gasket (this would be a reason why it springs back).

That sucks and I still don't get why online and their stores are separate. One thing I liked about AT&T is being able to return to store even if I ordered online.
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk

Thanks guys. Glad to know it's not on all of them. I don't mind waiting a few days for a replacement. I'm on the phone with them now. But ya, I also hate that I have call if I bought online. And if I buy at a store, it has to be the same type store, meaning if I bought at a corporate store, I have to go another corporate store.
UPDATE: Ok they had to reorder me a new phone (black). It wasn't out of stock so they are going to ship it to me overnight at no charge and will get it on Wednesday. As usual, they are charging me for the new one and will refund the charges on the 1st phone when they receive it back.

They need to make orders upgradeable mid shipment.

I guess I got lucky the 2nd time around.
Not quite sure how UPS works but with FedEx ground it cannot be changed either once it ships. If it was express then they can switch between next day, 2nd and 3 days.

One of my friends received Android 6.0 on his Boost Mobile LG Stylo today. Not bad for a $179 phone!

Google does the update and then sends it to Samsung for testing. IF Samsung decides the update is worthy and fits into their business plan for the life of the phone, they will test the update and correct things that are specific to the S6. IF that is completed then they send the update to Verizon, who in turn, decides if it fits in their business plan and the planned end of life for the product. If Verizon decides to pass it along then they update the code with their specifics and then they release it to the phones.
All of that has to go good before we knaves might see an update.
Unfortunately Android updates and timeline does not fit into the end of life plans for phones by the carriers. That is why we usually only get one or two updates.

Just saw this while searching online tonight.

If you do get a new phone I strongly suggest you get the Nexus 6. A bunch of support and you can unlock the boot loader and get any ROM you want it's awesome. I've been loving mine!

Starting to roll out from Samsung. Verizon will likely take forever to send it out though....

Another bit of a tease http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/02/16/samsung_starts_marshmallow_upgrades/

So is note 7 Rom developing coming to am end?

Just wanted to see if devs are still going to be developing for this device with all the issues that are STILL happening apparently. It's such a shame because I absolutely love this phone. TEKs and OVERDRIVE roms looked real promising. I would just to keep a phone for 2 years if of developing is going to die off.

well considering a 2nd recall by samsung will most likely happen within the next few days according to t-mo. i would say the development for the n7 is done period. i got a feeling the n7 won't be back on the market after this either. samsung will probably scrap em all and move on to the s8 or even the note8 which will most likely need to be renamed as this whole thing has literally damaged the notes name.

A true bummer, I really don't want another phone but I guess I don't have a choice. Back to a note 4 I guess until a note 8 gets released which might not even happen. I've been a note holder since the note 2 (except a note5 which I wasnt impressed with)

The Note4 is my daily driver again, took back my replacement Note 7 yesterday.
It's basically got all the functionality where it really matters, the S-Pen.
The other features that were heavily marketed were of no consequence to me.
I definitely notice the difference between the two as for overall performance, but, it's not an awful experience by any stretch.
Throw your ROM of choice on the Note4 & ya got yourself a very comparable experience.

My phone before this was actually a note 4 and the only reason I went to a note 7 was because my phone was stolen. I was running abstrak rom (now discontinued). I'm probably going to see what mm roms they have for it now. Since I have to purchase another note 4, it will probably be on mm and I dont even know if it's rootable. My old note 3 and 4 were excellent phones, it just pisses me off that Samsung stops updates for older phones basically forcing you to upgrade phones. That being said, I'm sure the note 4 will never get a future update.

And, lights out.......

You guys believe a Note 7 V3 will ship with rootable firmware?
I seriously doubt it, we caught a lucky break on this one & some on V2 were left out in the cold w/a phone dead for development.
It's a nice phone without root, Package Disabler apps help a lot,along with a decent Ad Blocker, but, not enough for Round 3 on the exact same phone.
I'll check in on the next iteration,the Note 8,or whatever they'll call it.....

When Samsung has a major fiasco they recall all the product gather all the staff in the court house and destroy the product in front of them and the manager of that department is then banned from the company for life. Korean custom. Not only did the guy lose his job he disgraced his Family for generation to come. Going back to Note 7 the product is being discontinued it was announced in German newspapers today

GREAT!! *sarcasm*
My Note 5 was messing up and I got the 7 for the upgrade.
I'll have to debate this, as mine was one of the ones that wasn't a replacement or recalled. But with no rooting ability, or way to drop back a version to gain root...might have to go back to the Note 5.

I never even attempted to try the software update. I didn't like the stupid green battery icons or grouped notifications. I still have my v2 on original release firmware with updates blocked. I like the phone uprooted but I do not like the current software for it. It's a shame because I love phone otherwise, but without future root to make those small tweaks on the v3, I think I'll wait until I find something I really like. I've always been a Samsung guy that being said I'm not a real Fan of pure Google type phones. For some reason I really like touchwiz (ya I know).

every one help me decide it's 10am now

I'm in the V20 camp as well. The only thing that makes me nervous is if I hold out for the pre-order I'm worried they'll stop allowing the returns. Has anyone gotten a word on how long they're allowing the returns for? I love this phone but the stigma around it has me over the whole thing sadly.

I have the same concern. I am going to attempt to get a loaner phone from t-mobile so I can return my note 7 asap in case they stop the returns.

Right now this is a voluntary return and not a mandatory recall. If things comes out to be the worst then there will be another mandatory recall. So why not wait to see what happens before doing anything?

We don't know yet. Samsung's wordings seems to show that they will be resuming manufacturing of the Note after setting up better QC. But they can change plans very quickly at this point in time. So we don't really know what is going to happen at this point in time. If they are discontinuing the Note at this early point in time then there will be a mandatory return type recall.

I don't know if you are joking or not. But if you are not joking then your Note will be the first confirmed China made T-Mobile Note 7 to have this problem. Would like to know if this is true.
If you want to return then either Samsung 7 edge or LG V20. Samsung 7 Edge can use the Gear Fit2 and Gear VR.

I was using my gear vr with my dji phantom 3 pro. Flew for maybe an hour and 20 mins removed the note7 from the head set and noticed the two bubbles instantly I thought dead pixels but turned the device off and they were still there and the fact that color still shows through the spots tells me it's bubbling

I can't tell if that is a pixel issue or glass separating from screen issue. Either case has nothing to do with battery over heating. This is not from over heating battery problems.
Regardless which one is the issue these are warranty issues and can return (under T-Mobile's new return policy for Note 7) or exchange. If want to exchange under warranty then you can return device and get a loaner phone from T-Mobile to use until new Notes start manufacturing again or wait for recall. That is unless you want another device then take advantage T-Mobile's return new policy for the Note 7 and get another device.
Again: This is a manufacturing defect and not an over heating battery issue.

Delete delete

I just contacted T-Mobile on their twitter help page. Apparently they don't have a return window for the replacement units either. So if for any reason you're not confident in the phone, you can take it in for a refund and exchange. It is a voluntary return at this point and not a recall, but they will allow a full refund outside the 14 day window for the foreseeable future. So we should be able to hang out to our phones until the v20 comes out from what I understand.

Excuse me.... I don't want to just return out of the 14 day window... personally love the note series I've had the 3,4,5,and now two 7s my 4 was rooted running overdrive n5 port till I could buy the note 5........ And this has to do with battery overheating because if it wouldn't have gotten hot the adhesive wouldn't not have bubbled..... as there was no issue before........... I really wish I would have just kept the v1 note 7 since mine was a China model with no issue

Its more of a confidence thing at this point. The phone has this black cloud over it (metaphorically). I'm tired of the jokes and the Note 7 memes popping up everywhere and co-workers asking if the phone has blown up yet. I know the chances of the phone burning up are slim to none, but now I'm paranoid and constantly checking to make sure the phone isn't heating up. I love the phone, but it's rapidly becoming a love/hate relationship to the point I'm starting to resent the damn thing, as dumb as that sounds. If people want to keep their phones, more power to them. I'm just frustrated and over the whole thing.
/end rant

What if I kept the Note 7 for say... 6 months. Could I still return it?

And get a full refund?
Say i waited til the s8 or Note 8. Could I return it then for a full refund?

If it becomes an official recall, yes. Do you want to take the chance that they'll disable the phone?

Try it and see.

Been talking to tmobile and samsung chat.
This is looking very ugly.
Samsung says the refund and $100 bill credit will end. It has an end window.
Meaning if the note 7 is return outside of this window. You will not be refunded the price of the phone.
Tmobile says that they wont have s7 edge in stock until Nov-Dec.
They also wont let you get a loaner phone. You must exchange your phone for another phone one and that ends that.
So if we keep are phones and samsung kills them off. Lets says Jan 2017 they kill off the phone (nagging update, samsung app, market not working etc..) And give you a deadline for Feb 2017 to return the phone and you dont. Then your be left with a brick that tmobile wont give you any money for in exchange.
So i really thing samsung needs to get sue here. Because this makes no sense.
They want you to return the phone but there arent making enough replacement phone (s7 edge seems to be the best replacement)
Then they are going to make a deadline for the exchange.
The Lady in the chat says that they havent said anything about it yet. But it is in the works.

If Samsung disable the Note 7 through software, then you will have to root it and flash a Tom. Which is what I do will all of my Samsung devices anyway.

They also wont let you get a loaner phone. You must exchange your phone for another phone one and that ends that.
So if we keep are phones and samsung kills them off. Lets says Jan 2017 they kill off the phone (nagging update, samsung app, market not working etc..) And give you a deadline for Feb 2017 to return the phone and you dont. Then your be left with a brick that tmobile wont give you any money for in exchange.
So i really thing samsung needs to get sue here. Because this makes no sense.
They want you to return the phone but there arent making enough replacement phone (s7 edge seems to be the best replacement)
Then they are going to make a deadline for the exchange.
The Lady in the chat says that they havent said anything about it yet. But it is in the works.

Not what my T-Mobile store said. They told me to keep the note as long as I'd like saying that it's better than jump because you could turn it in at anytime you want and wait for a better phone to come out. Liability says they can't just block you from returning the phone.

Yes tmobile said you can hold on to it.
Samsung is the one who said, they will put a deadline on the exchange and bill credit.
Tmobile only knows what samsung tells them.
So while tmobile say keep it and all is fine. Samsung can put a dead line on the return and screw all that up.
Also samsung can not just kill the phone but they can pull all support. So you lose samsung pay, store etc...
Also naging messsge to return the phone (like they did with the v1)
And they said that outside the US they slow down charging speeds and max charge percent.
This is all stuff they can do in an update.
True you dont have to take the update but they will probably do this in the furtrue.
I love the phone and would love to keep it. But if they kill off all support or mess me up on money then i gotta exchange it.
But as of now the way things are going is im going to have the phone until Jan cause there no s7 edge in stock and it would seems that samsung is making more s7 vs making the s7 edge.

January is fine with me! By that time I will have gotten over my grief and still get a full refund!

Been talking to tmobile and samsung chat.
This is looking very ugly.
Samsung says the refund and $100 bill credit will end. It has an end window.
Meaning if the note 7 is return outside of this window. You will not be refunded the price of the phone.
Tmobile says that they wont have s7 edge in stock until Nov-Dec.
They also wont let you get a loaner phone. You must exchange your phone for another phone one and that ends that.

That was uncalled for and a wasted post.
Thanks for the info guys.
I may just keep it for a while until they have some S7 or S7 Edges in stock. As much as I want to keep it, I just don't think it is worth the hassle.
I still have my Note 5, I may just keep it or maybe have it as a back up if I get the edge or s7

sorry if I hurt your feelings no harm done it was just really difficult to read your post. "Wasted" a bit of my time to understand what you were trying to say.

I am not the one you should be apologizing to. It's just irritating when someone puts a post that has no relevance to what is being discussed by every in the thread. If you felt you wasted your time by trying to understand what is going on, you should simply ask or refrain yourself from participating.
Moving on.

Take what each side tells you with a grain of salt. Several reps told me there is no timetable because the phone has been recalled. No matter when you return it they have to take it bask.

I spoke with T-Mobile yesterday and they told me that I had 30 days to return the phone... I will call again to see if another rep tells me differently...

I hope we get some clarification on this some time before the middle of next month. Every day that goes by with no reports of new 'explosions' just makes it harder to let go.

Exactly my thought, when was the last reported N7 flame up? Only thing making me thinking of jumping to the S7 edge is the gear Vr... But not enough to make me want to give up my N7v2...
I haven't heard a single recent problem... Anyone else?

That's what makes me think it was a conspiracy. I've heard some people mention that that Apple people took down the Samsung Giant. I mean really I'm sure there are still thousands and thousands of people with these phones and not one more report. Pretty sketchy to me.
