Samsung Malaysia Electronics (SME) has announced that the firm is pushing back the device’s availability to September 2016 due to global supply constraint. Will it affect the arrival of the pre-order units?

Smoking hot + it's Samsung features! Jelly ka?

Anyone tried the Spigen screen protector? Which case does it work with?

What's next?

If based from my previous experience with S7 edge, spigen SP work flawlessly with all types of spigen cases 😂

To be honest, if replacement unit is really still a problem, Samsung should just kill the note 7 and move on and try to make a come back with a greater phone in Note 8, instead of trying to do damage control.

If they sell the new batch "safe" Note 7 at half the price, I will be willing to take the risk and get one for use. But will leave it at home if flying overseas though.

Thought of getting the Note 7 to replace my aging Note 3 but somehow the safety issue is still out there. The leaked Injustice version is damn nice.

Safety.... it's security if the burning of the phone enables you/someone to gain access to accounts/vaults/passwords..

Who is going to order? Can get one for me?

lipoting in...been reading since V7, still hoping note 7 is still worth and safe to buy...
very like the blue coral color..

Hahaha if Samsung do sells half the price.
Sure very good sales.. Explosion / overheat issues just gone like that. People forget about it

finally i realized what is the culprit of battery drain. wipe the cache, battery seems improving by alot, and temp run cooler as well. recommended to everyone who got their phone, to wipe their cache beforehand. prior to that, phone is tend to get hotter easier too. now it seems that i managed to tame this beast

tested with numerous of battery savings options such as disable bloatware via package disabler pro, not so much, pretty much limiting the capacity of the phone, and then using greenify with excessive dose mode, really a road warrior but big trade off with no instant notification.

currently, everything enabled with just mid power saving mode, only changes that i tick is reduce brightness to 80%, and now battery is 56% ish, with 3h 20m SOT with Waze 27m 30s, Gaming (Clash Royale 9m 4s, Clash of Clans, Sky Force Reloaded 1h 9m 40s, Pirate King 11m 28s), Internet browsing + LYN roughly 20mins). Im quite satisfied.

Okay. So it's because of the cache..
Thanks for the tips

Protective film sells for 25USD

My always stay around 32c - 38c normal usage show by gsam battery monitor. Sometimes It does feel warmer in pocket than my other phones. I'm guessing maybe the AOD Caz display face inwards

As I remember that it has a not so good review from Amazon

Im sorry but where to register online for the accesories or phone for samsung?

I forgot the webpage......

which cache did u wipe?

It's in recovery mode. Go to wipe cache partition.

No. Terrible advice. Glad that you are not working with Samsung.

thanks! would this affect anything?

I don't know but after close monitoring with my old faulty unit I had heating issue randomly occurring via the soc itself not the battery and my personal theory was that the soc or the cooling has a flaw and the heat from the chip might cause the general flaw in battery design to blow or start smoking.. I normally perform a hard reset everyone it starts crossing 70 celcius and it will be fine soon after..


Attached thumbnail(s)

No it wont. Actually it's recommended to wipe the cache partition regularly to keep the phone operation in tip top condition. Certain issues will go away after the wipe. I do wipe cache in all my smart phones once a month. And so far no issue at all. It's like doing a massage once a while to get rid of those pressures and tensions (I know this metaphor is suck). LOL...

Wipe Cache Partition is a MUST AFTER updates...

This post has been edited by azhar75: Oct 7 2016, 12:40 AM

My pre-replacement unit loves to hang, boot loop and overheats for no reason. There is once it hanged when doing the green battery sign update, it was the hottest it ever been, then I cooled it down with an ice pack. After a day of use, I switched it off and cannot be turned on anymore. According to service centre, the motherboard was cooked.

if sell at half price everybody go grab already

If Samsung sells Note 7 at half the price with disclaimer and no warranty, no one in their sane mind will buy it (RM1,500 can buy many other reliable phones), Note 7 uncontrollable overheating kills the motherboard of my pre-replacement Note 7 and many battery explosion issues, it is just not worth it even at quarter the price now. I rather have Samsung mandatory buy back all Note 7 and salvage whatever parts they can and make better Note 8, they got 1 extra year to get Note 8 right or go bust.

no warranty different story dont think samsung will ever take risk... if still have issue, they will recall...
but my replacement set for note 7 so far ok, pray the news is not really.... hopefully.... another call up is just... might as well refund d... wait next note

Finally, the battery temp seems okay.
But I love the new replacement so much. The battery life on this phone is the best compared to my other previous phone.
I got 18 hours of battery life but still have 19% left on my phone. Unplugged 7.30 am till 1.30 am avg. SOT 4hrs 31 mins. Mostly on 4G data Digi. Only a few hours on WiFi.
Forget to take screenshot. Will monitor again today.

This phone is the best battery life I have ever had. Even better than my old Note5. So no regrets buying this phone.

Hi Bro, can you please show how to go the wipe cache partition?
Thanks.

Samsung said they have not heard anyone else complain about this. partly coz i guess not many ppl would look at that anyway...

they just asked to try the following:
Engineer has advised to switch on the device in safe mode and monitor is the issue resolved.
In case if issue resolved by entering safe mode, initial suspect it is caused by 3rd party applications.
* To switch to safe mode, turn off the device. By holding volume down key and power on the device until device is booted successfully into the main menu. All installed apps will stop working in this mode.
"Safe mode" indication will be displayed at bottom left corner of the device.

Please send to nearest service centre for further inspection in case if issue is not resolved in that case.


considering i cannot pull up this wifi stats again unless I root my phone, i'm just going to leave it as it is... i dun wanna have to bring it back to SC or reset my phone. i'm already using it as my daily driver.


it is easier to check with NEW phone when you have not many apps installed. that way, the WIFI will end up being on of the top battery use list. to access this list, go to SETTINGS --> DEVICE MAINTENANCE --> BATTERY --> BATTERY USAGE.

just wondering... anyone got a really fresh out the box unit can help to test? on new phone, the WIFI should appear on this list. just click and see how long it's been running.

mine had shown 44 days, which is puzzling considering i've also done factory reset.


dun worry, you're not missing out on much. when i went for the black on, i thought it would be really black and that the front and the screen would blend in nicely... unfortunately, that is not the case. the top and bottom part of the phone isn't really black. more like (as batman puts it) dark, dark gray.


for me... some keep as spares. who knows... if someone (well deserving) from this forum lost their accessories, i might just send to them for free. just like how currently i'm offering the free Glass SP for free, if anyone wants it la... hahaha... bangsar area. self collect la... dun waste extra $$$ for postage.


i heard SIM tray can break quite easily... so, for those who take out tray often, might be good to actually have spare.

yeah, i got roughly 12h+ standby time with SOT of 4h 21mins, with 35% battery left.

wipe the cache... as in? got steps?

never mind... just saw others posts later on... instructions are there...

METHOD 1 - Enter Recovery Mode using Hardware Buttons on Samsung Galaxy Note 7
Step 1 – Turn OFF your phone.
Step 2 – Now press and hold the following buttons for a few seconds, all at the same time: Power + Volume Up + Home.
Step 3 – After a few seconds, you should see the Recovery Mode screen on your Samsung Galaxy Note 7.

Method 2 – Enter Recovery Mode using ADB on Windows
Step 1 – Make sure USB drivers / ADB drivers for Galaxy Note 7 have been installed and ADB is configured on your computer.
Step 2 – Connect your Galaxy Note 7 to your PC with a USB cable and install ADB drivers (if needed).
Step 3 – Navigate to android-sdk-windows\platform-tools directory and open Command Prompt (Shift + Right-click anywhere in the folder > Open Command Prompt).
Step 4 – Type in the following command and press Enter.
adb reboot recovery
Step 5 – Your Galaxy Note 7 will turn OFF and then boot into the Recovery Mode. Navigate up and down using the volume keys and select with the Power button.

my advice... stick to method 1.

and wipe the correct thing!!! very important. else... when restart phone, and if you wiped wrong thing... you get factory reset...

Can't believe samsung cannot slove the issue until now , i guess not only the battery but the soc also cause heat to build up and short the battery.

Switch off the phone. Press and hold the volume up button, power button and home button simultaneously, hold until the phone vibrate and switch on and Samsung logo shows up. And then wait for few seconds. The phone will go into recovery mode. In there, you can choose wipe cache partition. After wiping, then reboot the system.

araree, Spigen & Nillkin... all black color

Spigen


Nillkin


araree

yup method 1 is the easiest way..

Anyone using the phone without any sp?

Without SP atm because can't find the RM39 Ori SP. But using a wallet type of casing.

yes I'm with transparent tpu case only rm29.90 made from baseus. haha

i was using the pre-recalled unit for about 3 weeks with screen protector, even no casing. really love the feel of it..so slim and smooth feeling, nicely contoured. and using the spen was great...it just glides along the screen smoothly.

just before handing back, i checked and couldn't see any scratches. but i must say i didnt check very thoroughly, just scan at an angle under some lights. i didn't particularly baby it or stress it during this period, just trying to use it as normally as i do. i do make sure the pants pocket where i keep the phone doesnt contain anything else though.

does anyone have a good app that can control the sound profile? as in when switched to mute, it will turn off all the volume (including media volume)?

last time using CyanogenMod, got such thing

hows the case? tight enough? the rock TPU case not tight make the button difficult to press.

What SP u r using ?
Will it be pushed up by the casing ?

naked screen?

Samsung brand PET SP.
As for SP lifting, depends on what case you use.

My Experience,
SPIGEN RUGGED ARMOR - not ok
Nillkin Frosted - ok
Rock TPU - ok
araree TPU - ok

considered tight, but very slim don't think it's very protective towards the phone, but its a looker. button pressability ok.

i think i will get x-one case edition from trader here. now in dilemma x-one vs mobile outfitters, but mobile outfitters sp hard to use right?

I m. Using w back cover type of casing only. No cover to protect the screen also. I have been using phone without sp for yrs. love the touch and feel of it!

there have been numerous posts saying x-one SP is not working well with the phone..u sure u wan venture into this decision?

that why, but i just want to get back case protection. for rm89 i think is ok lah, hahaha. but not fixed yet, heard that sp is super durable, maybe after the screen warranty is over, and then move on to mobile outfitters i think by that time should be cheaper. but the camera lens and home button screen protector is needed.

camera lens and home button can buy from sakurazz

Been using without SP for 2 weeks for the previous unit. No visible scratches at all.

I played Sky Force with S-pen pretty much everyday but still no scratches. I even try scratching it with a key also no problem. So I will be using the new unit without SP too.

wat abt fingerprints?

yeah i was thought of him, gotta find a time to go meet him, coz our based location is really the opposite. hahaha. wonder will he willing to install it for me for such nicky picky thing. hahaha

Looking nice & sexy black

guess I'm not the one who also addicted to Sky Force lol. High 5. played with loaner phone S6 Edge + the heat really intolerable. Note 7 before wipe cache quite warm too, after wipe so chill jer.

If no warranty, means big no no even if half from official price.
No one would take the risk

Thanks for the information

my take on the RSV, let Samsung themselves to offer with their trade in program, and if you think its worth, just let it go, if not why not just use it? It wasn't that bad afterall.

U can try this VolumeSync, can sync notification, media and system all together so don't have to turn down one by one
Google play - VolumnSync

I have araree tpu smoke case too, no lifting issue and hairline texture on the back won't b oily with fingerprint however buttons r very firm to press.
Now using VRS simpli lite with kick stand. Also no lifting issue but minimal protection.

Been using with naked too but with only casing. It's a fantastic experience though.. I really take good care of it.

No finger print, if got, can be wipe off very easily. With stupid screen protector, spen didn't work well..

hehe..ok pulling it out now

I never let the phone stay inside my pocket.. If got also a while and I will make sure my phone are free of any silica, like sand and dust, keys and coins.. Although someone here said that won't scratched by key. I just to make sure everything is going well without any incidents haha.

Most of us are using naked too...

IS this a real game?

If you're asking if GTA is a real game or not, yes it is. And they mod it already.

Been using without any SC since replacement. Got some (not only one) hairline marks on front glass. However you really need to see them at certain angles with bright light.

Don't bother them much, but it feels a bit heartbreaking my note 7 is not in its perfect condition anymore.

Decided to buy official Samsung TPU SP but may not applying them yet. May be wait after one year after screen replacement then put SP.

received the an email from Maxis today (like finally !!) asking me to double confirm the color i want.

initially opt for Gold but now heart fluttering between Gold or Black
gold seems like exclusive and black is so damn sleek but very norm

which is better ?
can share some of your honest opinions and criticism

You can check out S7E first at any Samsung shop. The colour for GOLD is the same, but Black is slight different on the side bezel. N7 bezel is something like Gunmetal colour.

when will they start selling note 7 again?

that's as good as no scratches. I've got some faint ones on my s7e as well, and i believe these are scratches on the oleophobic layer. which can be replaced.

i can't see these faint lines unless the screen is OFF and i tilt it at extreme angle under very bright lighting. and this doesn't happen during 99.99% of the time i'm using the phone so i don't even bother about these small details.

you guys are worrying about these SP and wraps and spending too much money on them. most of you have already tested going naked on pre-replacement phones and agree with the durability of the glass despite the GG5 video.

furthermore, samsung gave us 1 year screen protection warranty. you can replace the screen for free if you think it's not so perfect for you anymore. so just enjoy this beautiful phone naked and don't sweat the small stuff.
