If You Wanna Keep Your N7, come in

[Joeykool]

I'm seriously thinking about keeping my Note 7. Hoping this nightmare will go away.

I would keep mine too but I think they are going to cripple some how.

If the phones get killed (like ime shut down) before I get a replacement, I am going to wipe my rear with the N7 before it's boxed back up.

I seriously hope we get a shut off notice, it would really suck to be at work using the N7 when the phone signal is killed. Can you imagine the carrier mess/lines if they shut this phone down in a short timeline. I already have 8+ hours at best buy from this N7

I am not keeping mine but will research the phone I want. So until then it's being used or until it becomes obsolete wateva comes first. Hopefully, no more than the next 2 weeks.

If we have to accept the demise of this phone, can we at least get our panties out of a wad while doing it? I don't need a lecture about the dangers of keeping the phone.

I did my research, I want a v20. Problem is they are not out yet and won't be for a little while

Don't stop believing

Yes Samsung has officially discontinued the Note 7

Which also means it will no longer support it

Samsung permanently stops Galaxy Note 7 production - BBC News

Hmm.. Sux big time..!! i got it fully coated and Nice covers as well.. probably first time i got emotionally lost for a freaking mobile phone..!! Samsung had to do this to NOTE 7 noh...!!

Keeping mine, the only way i will stop using it is if they somehow disable it. So come on people spill the beans this is my first Android phone how do i disable the auto updates.

I am looking at V20 so far (but I have nightmares from an old LG phone I had....lol), the Axon 7 or the Moto Z play. I need something with a large screen, supports SD card and greater than 32 gb......no iphone please.
By the way can we pre-order the LG V20? I know right, shouldn't even be talking about "pre-order" right now...lol.

And for now not thinking of an S7 Edge or Note 5, not in the mood to give Samsung more money. And to think I just bought a Samsung washing machine. And I have the Tab S2.

I don't think it can be disabled, honestly I doubt they will disable them anytime soon. What will probably happen is no support first, no updates for apps and so on. And carriers probably putting a time frame on when phone can be returned.

I had a v10 and loved it until the update which destroyed the battery life and started giving me call issues

Havent been in the NOTE Club as long as some of ya'll. The Note 5 was my first and it sure made an impact. Im addicted to Notes. lol. Shoot im officially a samsung sheep. Walked out with my Note 5 and a Tab A w/spen. Within the year of Note 5 release i have purchased 7 other samsung products and received 2 free.

Been watching some comparison videos. The v20 look enticing but how well will it work with my samsung watches? It definitely wont be compatible with my Tab Pro S and samsung flow. Then stuck with a VR because im sure most edge7 users got one free already. cant forget SAMSUNG PAY!

Wouldnt even mind samsung replacing my note 7 with a note 5 as long as its a note im good.

It all depends on your needs. Note5 does not have expandable storage and only 32gb. I was running out of space with barely anything on it. The S7E has the same camera and expandable storage. The V20 I read has pretty bad battery life. I don't care about flipping batteries in and out of my phone. The Pixels has huge bezels and on screen controls that reduces the usable screen size.
I want to keep my Note7 as well, but know that I can't now. There is no other phone out there that I would be excited to get right now.

Wrap it in aluminum foil, put it in the freezer over night, let it sit out for a few hours then you should be good to go. The freezing will disable the chip that receives the updates, but the phone should continue to work just fine.

My issue is that there is literally no other phone that I want. I am pretty much married to the Note line and the SPen. I didn't go for the Note 5 because it didn't have an SD card but I had the 2, 3 and 4. I guess I could live without my SPen for a few months but I don't want to get stuck paying for a device that I don't really want for two years.

Ok good just saw on CNN that we have starting October 13th until December 31st to return or exchange the Note 7. Hopefully, carriers will oblige by this.

The Pixel XL has 128GB models, but no SD card. Do you need more space than that? That is the phone I am moving to. I pre-ordered one.

Wow can you imagine if this thing caught fire while you were doing VR? Now that is some scary stuff.

But those people are "not afraid".

Again, should you do something like that, then you're placing yourself at liability should anything happen and cause harm to you and/or anybody or anything around you. You will not be able to make any claims against Samsung.

Who will you blame at that point?
