I like the S7, but come on Samsung/Google. They pander to the dumb iPhone users. Make the operating system they way it was intended. Default App choosing. Back button kill. Messaging. Keyboard. Sleep mode. SDcard adoptable. Bluetooth. Stupid bloatware. Ugh. HURRY GENIUSES!!!! PLEASE. HAHA

Can't wait for root

I know the golden rule of rooting. "Never ask when root will ready" but I've had the phone a day and I'm begging. Haha.
Package Disabler Pro - Remove Bloat.
All In One Gestures - Re-Map the hardware buttons.
Adoptable storage - http://www.modaco.com/news/android/...e-adoptable-storage-on-your-s7-s7-edge-r1632/
There's already Hotspot mods for Sprint S7 that I know.
I just used a material theme that made the UI dark. Also used a material dark SwiftKey theme. So far I got everything looking great.
So far I'm not desperate for root altho i would love it.

You guys realize this isn't Sprint's fault, right?? It's ALLLL on Samsung doing this crap.
Yes
Although this is about the T-mobile CEO, it honestly sounds like he's the only one who cares about it, and is actively trying to come to an agreement with Samsung about the whole thing:

Mannn I want an S7 soo bad but once again Samsung f***ing us over. No root, and the Exynos version has better battery and better performance, so disappointing that the US got the short end of the stick.
Looks like I picked the wrong time to jump ship from HTC....
To me no root is a huge deal breaker. Im returing this phone today and waiting for the LG G5 or the next Nexus. I have the nexus 6 and I love it other than than the broken charging port but I can deal with a broken charging port for multirom and the best support. This phone with stock android and by google would be one of the best phones ever!
Samsung, what you have done to the user community is unconscionable. Don't blame Apple, the carriers, or your mother-in-law. You have made a marketing decision to shut the US user community out from the ability to have phones that are configured the way the users want them. You can't claim support - the same user community has been rooting their Galaxy phones for years without causing you much grief.
I suspect we now know the *real* reason you went with two processor architectures. It's only the US-based community you are hurting.
I switched several years ago to Samsung, and have bought many devices for my organization in the past. I waited a year for the S7 to correct your stupidity in removing the SD card slot from the S6. I'm not waiting another year - or even another three months. I'm looking NOW for alternatives. We all know they are out there. Once I leave Samsung, it will then take, not a really good S8, but my new vendor doing something equally stupid to cause me to consider switching back.
Dr. Kwon, are you listening? Do you even care?
I have edited the title now that it has gone to a full recall. As I get more information, if any, I will post it here.

Yep, just posted about this (accidentally) in the Q&A forum. It will sure be interesting to see how all this shakes out. I don't want to give up this phone, though... What a financial disaster for Samsung, but they can probably stomach it.
...
Damn...this will really suck. I'm pretty sure the turnaround time to get a new Note 7 will be bad. I use my spen a lot and I created a bunch of notes with he new Samsung Notes app which isn't backwards compatible with any of the other note phones.
Even if I backup to the cloud, what other device can I use to view Samsung Notes?
It looks like we will all be getting new phones...

I wonder how that will work. I'm okay with waiting for the Sprint store to get them in stock and then I go exchange it, but if they want me to send it in then wait for a replacement, that's a no go...

This kind of scares me though. Sometimes my phone gets unbelievably hot while charging specially overnight. I wake up because I get burned by my phone and have to disconnect it from the charger so it can cool down.

That is not normal. My note 7 is perfectly cool (battery temperature below 90 F) while charging overnight.
All of the major news outlets are picking up on the recall: http://money.cnn.com/2016/09/02/technology/samsung-galaxy-note-7-recall/
Has anyone asked or heard anything from Sprint? I'm guessing we won't hear anything until all of the details are worked out. I've kept an eye on my phone and no overheating thus far...
According to a different article that I read as of yesterday (9/1) 35 devices out of the 2.5 million or so sold have experienced the issue. Percentage wise it's a very small risk. Just be careful and don't use cheap aftermarket chargers... (I know, I know, several were reported to use the Samsung charger).
Personally I wonder if it's a scaling problem (i.e. battery size) with their fast charge technology... This is the largest battery they are fast charging as far as I know. (I did NO research to verify any of this).

I've wondered the same thing. It's amazing (and nice) how fast these batteries charge, but I'd be okay if it was 25% to 50% slower. That would still be pretty quick.
Even better yet, use a battery that can handle the current fast charge rate.
My phone charges cool also but i don't wanna worry about future issues, the phone is fairly new

Wow..
I called the Sprint store I got my phone from and they said don't bring it in because Samsung is replacing the phone directly. It sounds like the carriers are not going to take responsibility for any issues.
SMH
I love this phone. But how will samsung give us new phones? I called my local sprint store and they said don't bring it in? Are we supposed to be without a phone for some weeks or more? It is crazy, to think most of us just got this phone a few weeks ago.
this is just a little info i want to pass along that i learned from tmobile today. it's not meant to be an iphone vs. samsung thread.
i talked to a couple different reps today and they all told me the same thing. if you have a note 7 you can exchange it for an iphone 7 next friday. you cant do the pre-order because they would need to get the note 7 from you first before doing the iphone exchange. so you just take your note 7 into a tmobile store next friday and they will reimburse you for everything you paid for with the note 7 and you will even get your jump back. at that time you use the reimbursement to pay for the iphone 7 and use the jump that you just got back.
just wanted to pass along some info in case anyone else was wondering.
I'm pretty sure most people know this but thanks anyway. You can exchange it for any phone you want, no reason they would exclude the new iPhone. This is exactly what I plan on doing, I will be at the store at 10am on release day! Figured this is the best time for me to try out a iPhone, the timing is just to coincidental lol.
And, why downgrade to IPhone 7! Smh

That's your choice to make but just a small tip. Go to the store at 7:30 am on the release day. The stores here in New Jersey open early but they do not advertise it.

Let's use a little common sense when posting about an Iphone in a android based community. Honestly not many people in here would even care about that and to top it off why go to a phone that does less than what you have now. I know I know it blows up but you do know your chances of getting hit by a car are greater than your phone blowing up right now. I bet you still go outside and drive a car or get on a plane, etc..... You people kill me.
Thanks for the info but I dont see how this is the place for it. also, this was not a bashing post....
Thinking about going back to iPhone as well. I shouldn't have to compromise settings just for this phone to work.
As an Android/Samsung Fanboy it's a damb shame to have to go through all this.
The 6s Plus NEVER gave me any problems. Even with 2gb of RAM, it NEVER lagged. Hell, the battery was hard to kill with heavy usage (4hrs of youtube background play, fb, text, browsing XDA, etc).
I'm trying to give Sammy a chance but damn.. hopefully the results of these replacements can change my mind.

I think better comparison would be driving and texting or being distracted by phone in general: the same people panicking about faulty batteries think nothing of using the phone while driving and I'm guilty as well, just glanced at the map to check traffic ahead, same time as the guy in front stand on breaks, I barely stopped without hitting him and I drive a lot with years of experience. Probably more than 500 people die each yr. because of phone distractions. My phone charging station is on marble table in kitchen for years (convenience of multiple outlets at above waste level), accidently right next to smoke detector. Most likely it would be non event for me even if it burned to crisp. I put my life in much bigger danger when I'm cooking, but that's another story. As a side note advice, for those interested to buy iphone7, get iphone 6 instead put the tape on headphone jack and viola, you got iphone 7, you can thank me later.
Yeah but then they will lose out on the new shiny black one
Just placed an order for the jet black and was told it would be shipping in NOV lol, so i don't know what ever comes first new Note 7, V20 or iphone
Considering that the Note 7 is the most expensive phone T Mobile sells, it seems obvious that you would be able to exchange it for ANY other phone they sell.

Thanks for the info, I've been trying to the same, got no help at the store, went through 4 phone reps who refused to do it, and finally one gave in and pre ordered them for us. Wish they would've told us that we can just go get them at the store on Friday. They're saying that the phone is already sold out and that be shipments would come out in October or November

Thanks! the hard brick on the one plus one was due to me flashing colorOS which is a Chinese OS for the OPO. I did something wrong and it hard bricked. I took it apart, removed the battary and did my Odin like setup to get back to CM12S before this was a tada look at this recover it was dead and not responding with 100% battary life prior to the brick. Took me all of 3 hours to fix it. to me that's a hard brick that I revived lol. An uncommon HB for the OPO with only 5 others with the issue. Least at the time.
I know I could find or help aid in the search for root and so on if I had an s8 plus. I'm so so close to having enough cash for one. Been trying to get the gofundme thing off and going so I can get to work on finding a solution

lol again, its not hard bricked if it was fixed with a simple battery pull but by all means lol..
i just dont think someone should donate an S8+ to anyone other than an experienced dev as well as I dont think anyone would be willing to do that either lol
in all reality someone doesnt even need the phone to find exploits/root and trust me it is not easy.. experienced devs take a long time if even ever to come up with exploits and it has only got more difficult..

I'm quite serious about doing dev work. Not that you may be or may not be referring to me, but in any case, even tho I have a low level doesn't mean I don't have an education, a brain crammed with knowledge and a yern to see future development. I'd love to contribute all I can since I know a decently fair amount about Samsung devices in particular and going through alot of code. Sorry if I sound "noob" but as Ive said, I've got more free time than Obama while he was in office. As sad as that is to say.

I fully agree that it is difficult, but with all respect, the s7 active has been out for a year give or take and no one aside from me has and any luck with flashing a nonexynos rom from a different carrier on it and having it work well with the exception of the lack of 3 buttons. Yes echo rom works but so do some others as well. I'm not asking for a free phone to mess around with, I'm looking for help with donations to get my hands on one. To be real with the not needing a device to do root and find exploits, im more of a hands on kinda guy and by that I mean device in my hands lol.
We should encourage people to help development, regardless of how significant or insignificant. This is the exact reason random people and developers don't put **** out for these phones. People never have anything nice to say! Even if you know the guy has absolutely no chance, why does that hurt you so much that you essentially have to say he's stupid and point out his mistake?

no one has called him,stupid except for you in your post.. if anything I am saying good luck and ifcppl want to give him a free phone then by all means lol
and to add some actual facts to your post, some devs will not work on certain devices because of fake wannabe devs lol.. jcase refused to work on the LG V20 for example because there was some fakes claiming they were devs and taking ppls domatioms when all they did was steal other ppls ideas and work..
its not unheard of for xda users to help eachother out by letting him know its not as easy as 123 and simply getting a non snapdragon rom to flash on the phone.. again, if ppl want to give an inexperienced user a free phone or donations to buy a phone instead of a proven and tested dev then by all means go ahead.. its a free country and everyone is entitled to their opinions.
I was saying the opposite of what you incinuated, i am trying to bring more real devs over here by implying any free phones or donatioms should go to them as we'd have a significantly better chance at obtaining root down the road this way based on what that guy has been saying
lmao people grow tf up

yea bro, grow up lol.. or give him your s8+ so we can root this phone
If I can jump in now, I am a bit slow yes, but I have an education and I've been messing with computers and tech since I was 2. I do agree with the comment of not bashing and getting " more experienced devs" on the matter but them devs were once in my shoes....sure theirs some fake bs ones out here but I say to them m.t.f.o.m.f I cannot begin to tell you of how many times I've had ample times to jump in and help on an important matter for development and chose not to for comments like what I read. Not just on here but on the opo forums as well. No it doesn't hurt me, but the shere lack of wanting to aid and this dude over here knows more and therefore should acquire one first is absolute bunk and just WOW lol. Kinda remember why I deactivated my old xda. Anyways, if anyone serious about development wants to help me prove to these "superior athletic guru types" I have a link in my profile. Damn shame when someone wants to seriously offer help for a,community but as soon as my computer lingo doesn't match, its fast to bash. Instead of pointing out my poor computer English why not just ask what I meant? Everyone is fast to judge these days.
OP3T blasted? Yes in Mumbai, India. Hard to believe but it's true..
Check this out..

You mean spontaneously exploded.
Well for one, it's a Facebook post. There may be pictures, but we cannot confirm how the device was taken care of. For all we know, the user may have kept the device somewhere like a car dashboard and drove while it was being exposed to high heat from the sun, and that may have damaged the battery.
Secondly, Li-Po batteries are prone to exploding even after a hard drop. That's the issue with them. But I don't think it is a repeated issue, as most of us are nearing our two year mark with this device, and this is only one report out of hundreds of thousands of devices.
If it is a device fault, then it should've happened earlier and to many others, like another famous OEM's device *cough*. This is most probably the fault of the victims due to bad device handling.
But still, after seeing this post, I am beginning to look at my phone warily, hoping it doesn't go all Fat Boy on me.

nicely said.
people only want to criticise every phone on the market so dont know if its true and how it was taken care of. so happy to see that someone thinks like u and does ot blame the oem without having any solid proof that its their fault
I don't see any criticism from the OP, so is good that he just posted this news.

I wasn't dissing OP though, I was saying that our devices are safe, since this isn't a device wide issue.

Lol... It's just FYI post..
my 3t is blasting from the first day on very powerful
As a 3t user, I very well know how good is the heat management in 3t. It is relatively cool while charging as compared to other fast charging phones out there in market.
"If you dip your phone in water and then will try to charge then most probably it will blast"
Handling is very important in any electronic device.
First of all, oneplus must postmarton the device to come to any conclusion.
