Not my picture sadly - never seen one either outside of road kill.

Still evolving...

I think I found the problem: if I go into Settings > Sounds and vibration > Volume, I can set everything to 0 but media, and if I change media, it changes all of the other volumes as well... So anytime I adjust the media volume, I'm turning it off of vibration mode... I have my setting for...

Hey guys, Quick question: How can I disable bluetooth from enabling sound every time it connects? For example, I'm swipe down, hit the speaker icon to turn it to vibrate, and everything's good until I connect to a bluetooth device (car, bt speaker, etc) at which point I get a sound (assuming...

Mail/UPS/FedEx it back to your home address a day or two before leaving.

Re: I PHONE 7! You can - should only need to pay the restock fee. I've used all platforms - Android, Win, IOS, WebOS, BB - they all have their strengths. With the death of the Note 7 I ended up going 7+ (256) with no reservations, but I'm also perfectly comfortable using any of the...

Re: Samsung Offering $100 to Loyal Customers Is it really loyalty if a bribe or other incentive is necessary - I don't think that word means what they think it means (unless it's after the fact - and not to be weighed in the decision). Perhaps it should be relabeled a consolation or reward.

So then it's up to the individual to discern which is more likely: Samsung fast tracked production to time a pre-iphone/pixel launch? (or) Samsung didn't have the requisite safeguards in place to prevent QA/QC issues in a fully incubated product? The business decision to compress schedules...

D.J. Koh chose to accelerate the launch of a new phone due to rumors that the iPhone 7 was an iterative update - according to people close to the subject. The internet is crawling with anecdotal evidence of this (starting with Bloomberg), however I doubt Mr. Koh is going to step up publicly and...

Are you asserting that Samsung did everything right and still botched it up? I don't know which is worse.

Re: Am I The Only One Waiting For the Results of the Investigation? The truth will out - but it will come from a 3rd party analysis and then passive confirmation by Samsung. The fact that Samsung's estimating this to cost them $2.3b USD solidifies my speculation.

Re: Am I The Only One Waiting For the Results of the Investigation? Samsung halted production and put together a replacement program - they no longer need to offer an explanation. The decision to halt production was an internal initiative, I suspect the investigation is concluded and the...

Re: Stupidity or Incompetence? This line of thinking isn't following the path of least resistance. Consider for a moment that Samsung simply rushed production and cut corners in QC/QA to bring the phone to market faster. It was a gamble that didn't pay off.

Re: Stupidity or Incompetence? 1. Maybe - seems like a short-sighted approach, and why pick the Note 7, why not a more popular device? 2. Samsungs a leaky bucket already - it would be more damaging to sever their relationship as a supplier with a larger entity. Batteries are already made...

Re: Stupidity or Incompetence? There are mechanisms in place to prevent this sort of thing from having an effect out of band with the supply chain. It's a fun thought experiment, but doesn't really hold up. But let's go down the rabbit hole, who benefits from this?
