not to say too late. there's way by rooting the phone and removing the particular update but it's way more troublesome and not so adviseable if you're not a technical IT person.

do update us if you're stuck in indonesia because of the travel ban. call up the samsung center in indonesia for your problem. they will accomodate. you are not the only person with such a situation.

yup. mine also didn't get any push OTA updates as well just like the first time they did for the 60% limit.

will get to enjoy the note 7 replacement still till then.

>30 days already still O-K

IMPORTANT FOR ALL THOSE WHO GOT ADVISES FROM ME ON HOW TO DISABLE THE OTA UPDATE:

DO NOT UPDATE THE APP THAT IS USED to do the process anymore cause Samsung has requested them to remove the feature that will prevent the OTA update. Whatever version that you have, just keep that version.

i think so far the majority in here have interest and/or gone with one of the following:

S7Edge
OP3
P9Plus
LGV20
Pixel

it's difficult to answer opinion because it depends on individual preferences. software wide the S7 and S7Edge nearly identical. the only difference is the edge section of the screen mostly.

suggest you go to a phone shop and experience the demo units first to have an idea.

price wise outside street price is cheaper than via telco.

i'm at a lost for words how it was accidentally updated. was it that you did not do the way i mentioned or that the play store app updated and then suddenly it auto OTA update the phone software?

.. .. pausing the update is really not the right way of doing it..

feel adventurous? since it's already updated, you may as well go down the path of rooting the phone and removing the update manually if possible.

not advised that type of root cause till today, they never shared how they root aka you don't know whether there's any backdoor done in that way.

i'll PM you when i got the time.

Shutting down or pausing is not the right way to prevent such updates

hey there! following might be helpful reading!

I don't believe in live chat/online. Prefer face to face to do things as you get more honest answers and you can seek clarity by asking for higher up superiors to answer.

Case in point when recently clarified with Maxis telco.

6th Nov 2016 is the deadline for when you deal with Maxis telco for refund or exchange. When enquired for later or after the set date, person in charge could not answer but just say the deadline is the deadline and to do it now before that deadline.

Requested higher up to speak with. Then find out that you can go PAST the deadline set by the telcos but in doing so, that means automatically your contract is terminated with no penalties but your refunds will now be dealt with Samsung Malaysia instead which technically does not have deadline for return of the Note 7.

only malaysians with malaysian mentality allow that to happen

that's a wrong conception.

ALL phones have a chance for having faulty built production. which is why all the while i'm on the people are blowing things way out of proportion with the Note7 incident. just google search the modern popular phones of any brand 1 gen or 2 gen back and you'll see that there are such incidences and they are valid incidents. just that the reporting is not as fine a tooth comb as the note 7.

There's no such thing as 100% non explosive modern smartphone. just by seeing how dense it is packed nowadays to battery power ratio is already an indicator that it is much more susceptible for production failure than older gen phones.

goodness. the urgency by some of you regarding return of the money. are you sure that you can afford the phone in the first place if so hard up for the money? i hope none of you all are living paycheck by paycheck or taking loans just to buy high end smartphones.

sorry if you felt belittled but you're not seeing the larger picture.

you're being ill tempered at the cost of your sanity and health.

is being angry going to make it refund faster?

is it that Samsung wished for this scenario to happen?

is it that the person who dealt with you or "promised" you is an all knowing human being?

there are so many variables and factors in between that could delay the return. however, why want to be so ill about it?

for sake of rm3k you feel so annoyed and angry and so hard up for the money? i pity next time your family/relatives in the future, god forbid if somehow they encounter an incident that may cause you that amount of money or greater! i also pity if anyone in your life have to borrow money from you cause you're saying it is ok to remind/harass them daily for the return of the money.

take note that having said the above, i'm not saying that Samsung should take years upon years to return you the money but it's not like they're saying they're not refunding. just that many things can happen to delay it and if so, chill. such anger is not going to make it any faster

ya good on you yvonnesoo, at least you help out the 2nd hand Note 7 person who bought via resale.

Yes. Me suggested It still works.

you need to be very purposely hate your phone to achieve that

omgosh. don't tell me people returned or exchanged their phones without any receipts whatsoever or proof of purchases or nothing.. that's really.. shocking to say the least.

what i meant was documenting the receipts of purchases AND the return. cause if you don't have any proof whatsoever that you've actually owned and/or even returned the product, what if the other side say you never did and refuse to refund? that'll be trouble.

no. if you've followed me so far in the note 7, you should know i'm not the negative type.
