QUOTE(confuzan @ Sep 7 2016, 11:30 PM) for those who want to transfer data, you can use smart switch app. can choose to backup to microsd card or USB OTG drive (like sandisk dual), and then put to the new phone and restore. oh... can backup to microSD. not bad... does it backup applications too? i only used the PC version and it can supposedly backup applications too. guess month end, i'll know how useful is application backup... see can restore or not.  so much better than kies.

QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Sep 8 2016, 03:53 AM) iPhone 7 Plus Jet Black probably will be my first iPhone. Haha! Samsung Galaxy Note7 and LG V20 both removed from my wanted list now. Oops not bad actually... not a fan but i have to say... specs wise and pricing... it's good. esepcially the plus and 128GB. so close to note7 pricing (in USA). and, there's water resistance now. front cam also pwn Note7. those who are not picky abt OS can actually consider iphone7. only thing i dun quite like is the note headphone jack. got adaptor... but... troublesome. if they wanna go wireless, go all out la... do wireless charging too and be first phone without any ports.

Some app can't backup & restore i.e. colourdict ...you need to copy all dictionaries data files to device So best solutions is return and get replacement at the same time

QUOTE(stevenryl86 @ Sep 8 2016, 08:42 AM) Everyone? What weed u took? Even the recall are being run progressively batch by batch. Quite rush. Later got other QC problem. QUOTE(eetony @ Sep 8 2016, 08:44 AM) y worry, u can buy iphone7 now Yes I think so too. QUOTE(edan1979 @ Sep 8 2016, 09:07 AM) samsung should learn from this mistake... never rush things again... last time... the device is fully ready 1 or 2 month after they announce it. we usually officially get the phone on october. never got any of this kind of mishap. this time they really rush the production. Samsung never learn. Your new Note 7 replacement will be a rush product too.

QUOTE(kding2 @ Sep 7 2016, 04:19 PM) Guys, if a samsung phone broke down, sending to samsung center to repair is the best option or random handphone shop will do? If it is under warranty, it is best send the Samsung center. Otherwise, it is OK to send to handphone shop but make sure you look for a reputable shop. Samsung center parts and services are expensive. QUOTE(eagleknight @ Sep 8 2016, 03:51 AM) I hope can return my Note 7 and get the replacement at the same time. Also we need transfer Wechat data by wifi directly Is this the only option to transfer WeChat data? Can you share the steps? Thank you.

Seems like many of my friends gonna ditch Samsung and going for other brands especially iPhone.
In my opinion, iPhone specs really catching up with Samsung.
By the way, I not Apple fan. Only Sony and HTC fan.

Your new Note 7 replacement will be a rush product too. personally, i dun think it's rushed job. as others have said and i also mentioned... in the case of battery, hard to tell since this is not really a design issue but rather manufacturing QC. usually find out when sth happens... or sth gets discovered during random sampling.
