Note 3 is still the best phone aside from note 4

Reporting back after the switch. After a few days on g3 I totally regret switching. At the time it seemed like a good ideal, giving up the "older" not great condition note 3 for a newer better condition and spec g3, but now I totally miss milk music, s pen, and roms. Now I have to go for note 4 knowing no other switch is gonna be as good as the note 3 and switching back to the note 3 would be silly. I know its not development or this rom related but I just Hope this helps someone who's thinking about switching

I done the same thing and return the G3 after a week. Note 3 beat the new shiny G3 hands down.

I'm thinking about either t mobile note 3 on att straight talk sim card or note 4. Right now I'm just waiting on feedback from the T-Mobile note 3 on att thread to see if people are doing it without much issue
One thing I gotta give to the g3 is the camera, overall very good. They just don't have any development even after unlock

Love the note 3 but have seriously considered the g3 as a trade from a buddy of mine. Is it really that much better? G3 is a sexy looking piece of hardware

Trust me the note 3 with S5 Rom is way better than the G3. I returned it in 2 days. Just something about it. I hate the ui. And it has overheating issue. And I think the Note 3 takes better pics. Go look at the G3 pic thread. They look washed out. With not much detail. The screen is nice, but I prefer amoled screens. I guarantee the Note 4 QHD screen will stomp the **** out of the G3's!
Overall I wasnt a fan of it.

G3 stock rom really needs work. I noticed it'd mistake scrolling up and down a page as a touch sometimes, touch sometimes doesn't register, keyboard not as accurate either. These can all be fixed but they lack development, now it's bootloader unlocked, development will come but I just don't have the patience for it. I traded my note 3 back. G3 camera is really good tho in my option, laser focus is fast. G3 hardware is great on paper, it just lack the software to back it up I feel

Should. But not sure. Because I never tried with tmobile. But I've heard it does. U might want to Google the note 4 radio bands before u go that route. I know for sure u will get hspa+ but I'm not sure about LTE. For me hspa+ works fine. I have LTE now but my Verizon M8 only gets hspa+ which I'm ok with. I have Wi-Fi at home so that's where I REALLY use data.

I'm toying with the idea of getting an oneplus one and sell the note 3. Should break even. I have no issue with the note. Just bored :h)

I got bored too, traded my note 3 for g3, and regretted. The lucky thing was the guy traded me back so I didn't have to go through any trouble

Note 3 is better, true that.

I used the s5 rom didn't really like it all that much to be honest seemed alittle different

^^^ Probably true, and with only an estimated 24 in a million having the battery issue, this is a much greater risk.
Wait a few months and nick a factory refurbished device for a fraction of the price. There will be lots of them.

Yup! It's a bad situation overall for all of us owners of a Note7. :crying:
And yes!! true that!

After some deliberation, I'm going to take advantage of the exchange. Chances are, I'll probably JUMP to a newer device before it's paid off, but could you imagine trying to sell the first generation Note 7? I'm very impressed with Samsung for being so proactive about this. I agree that there is a 99.9% chance of this being a non-issue, but why risk it.

Oh, sorry, that was theoretical...it would presumably be the Note 8 next year or something nicer in the future. I came from a Note 4 and did not use JUMP for the Note 5 due to not supporting the SD card.

The S7edge may have the same innards but IMO it's nowhere near the quality item that the Note7 is. After using one as a loaner for a few days, I find that for only a few dollars more you're getting WAY more quality from the Note7. The Note's software is more refined and feels so much better in the hand. The S7e doesn't appear that much smaller but in fact it is. I'll be glad to get back into the Note7... I miss you S-pen!

Samsung could be looking at another recall...

According to this article....
http://www.ubergizmo.com/2016/10/samsung-note-7-second-round-recalls/?utm_source=mobilerepublic
Sprint is also letting users switch there Note 7 for ANY phone.
http://www.ubergizmo.com/2016/10/sp...swap-for-any-phone/?utm_source=mobilerepublic
If there is another recall I might go ahead and get the Pixel XL.
Sent from my SM-N930V using Tapatalk

Verizon should step up and do the same thing as Sprint. At this point, the Note 7 should just be taken off the market.
I'd like the pixel XL, but the Verizon is adding bloatware and handling updates on their version. Do some research on the absolute disaster that was the last time Verizon had a Nexus. It's a total joke.

Whoops Samsung! The Pixel phones look decent. Not sure why they decided to only go with IP53 rating but how often do you really jump in a pool with a phone rated higher anyways. When I had my Note 7 it was a pretty cool phone. I started to get used to the edge screen by the time I took it back to Verizon. I switched to an iPhone 7 Plus 256 and it's pretty damn sweet. I have been experiencing some Cell and GPS issues so I might have to go to an Apple store and have them replace my phone. I signed up for the beta program and have iOS 10.1 beta 2 which now includes the depth of field dual camera effect that they demoed in the keynote. I have a feeling that we are going to see a lot of phone problems over the next few years as these big manufacturers try to beat each other to the punch each year with their new products.

yea, this is totally crazy that Verizon has already said that they'll allow people to exchange their notes, during the initial recall they waited forever to even acknowledge that there was a problem, even though we were all receiving text messages from Samsung telling us to take the phone back.

Let's sit and think for just a minute. Other than whining about some app not working or not being able to root the damn thing, nobody on XDA has reported any type of problem with their Note 7 smoking. Most of us here a capable of doing some really stupid stuff trying to make things go faster and yet nobody burned one up? This seems more like the press making something out of nothing and some of you just wanting a V20 or a 7 Plus or a Pixel. Ya know what, in 5 months there will be something even newer and faster....... Get over it already.

Nah, I don't think that is it. I think people don't want to worry about there phone burning down there house, exploding in a hotel room, a plane, etc.
I think we can all agree that the relative failure rate is very small however if you are on the receiving end of that failure... It could be explosive
Im not turning my current Note 7 in until Samsung confirms that the issue with the plane is not isolated and is recall worthy.

Has the investigation even finished yet? We really need to wait for the results, for all we know it was a random occurrence that just happened to be a Note 7, or the person did something to cause it to do that. I guess that's the nature of our instant, always on world, news flows out before anybody has actually checked it.

I think this is sabotage. Yes the first event was no doubt real. I also saw several news and forum reports about another exploding phone and it ended up being a totally different device. I'm just worried if I keep this phone I love, and all production and sales are halted, we may never see updates or support ever. That I may not be able to live with.

I spoke to two Verizon corporate stores last night and neither one knew anything about being able to exchange the replacement Note 7's.

My guess is they need a couple days to get the message out. I also suspect att is going to force Samsung's hand by the end of next week with their Friday deadline.
Also, take this report with a grain of salt too...but another reported safe phone is alleged to have popped.

Reps over the phone seems to know what's going on more than anyone else, I finally had gotten my replacement and it was fine. The phone it self was a great phone but my family and most all my friends are apple users which left me in the dark. I was also having issues finding a tempered glass with the edges and when the otterbox defender came out I had isssues with that as well, it drove me crazy. Battery life was honestly okay but felt that it should have been better. Long story short me and the wife weighed my options with the phone and I decided to get rid of it by edging up and getting a matte black iPhone 7 256gb. Don't flame me yet, money isn't a issue so I paid about $396 to get out of that phone. Of course this was around the time when the whole plane thing happened too. I didn't think they were going to open another investigation on it but since they did I guess I'll be the first to confirm that Verzion will return or exchange your replacement Note7 for any other smart phone. I found out last night when I called them about it and they did agree and state they were letting customers get something else and I'll also be getting my edge up money back which is perfect. I don't love my iPhone but I don't hate it either, I will say battery life on this thing BLOWS the note7 out of the water. I haven't been able to kill this thing yet and with heavy usage about (21hours) I only drop to 50%. Anyhow if you guys are looking to get into something else like the pixel phones or iPhone or whatever nows the time to do it. I might be picking up a pixel on the side just to have later down the road but of course a unlocked version.....

The only way I will give up my Note 7 is if they make a mandatory recall and will not provide service for the phone. In my opinion there is no other phone on the market with the same options and styling.

Check your Vzw accounts. Credits!

Since Verizon is not selling note 7 anymore. They are all canceling the note 7 contracts and giving your upgrades back and billing your credit for what you have paid for the payments plan back.

I am thinking of going to a LG V20. First I will check to determine whether it might end up having a Verizonized Interface like the Note 7. I guess checking in with the V10 and G5 owners be a good indicator. If so, bye bye VZW! If we keep the Note 7s, we'll never see Nougat (or any update). I might even put up with the crappy resolution and go with an Iphone 7 plus (401 or 402 ppi .......Yeacccch!)

I'm hoping they'll let customers keep their note 7's as they're not going to refurb them, since it's being cancelled altogether.
I haven't been able to confirm nor deny whether it's possible to keep the note 7, but I'm hoping.

so far so good!

It looks like you are correct. I just logged into my business account and it suddenly shows that line eligible for an upgrade.

128gb Pixel XL in Silver just ordered. I'm done with phone swaps. I still keep the 2gb monthly bonus data. Unfortunately the Pixel isn't eligible for the Annual Upgrade Program which was a big part of why I bought the Note 7 knowing if it was poor it was only for 12 months. Did it online so they charged a 20 dollar upgrade fee. I will be calling tomorrow to get that refunded along with 35 bucks for the hand laid carbon fiber case I bought for the Note 7 that is now worthless... even as a paperweight lol. I'm also going to make sure I get the 300 dollar (over 24 months) credit for the Note 7 trade in and the Daydream Viewer. Even if I don't get the 35 bucks for the case I can sell the Gear VR, 256gb SD card and Fit 2.... It'll work out.

Is Verizon gonna credit me for the $65 case that I bought from Best Buy and the car charger, wireless charger and extra cables etc...? I doubt it. Thanks big red.

why would they if you bought them from best buy?

Was a rhetorical question really. I wouldn't expect V to refund me for something I bought elsewhere. Still sucks though. I sure hope Best Buy will honor a refund given the circumstances.
The thing that ticks me off is that the N7 had pretty much dominant specs when compared to other 2016 model phones/phablets but it is what it is.
What other modern phones (on vzw) are root friendly and have big ars screens? Was eyeballing the pixel but No MicroSD is a big bummer for me and who knows about rooting Android N (7.1) Moto Z looks pretty nice. Apple is NOT an option. Made that mistake already for 4years.

Nah. It's not. Close, but not the same. The s7 edge curved screen sucks too. The note 7 is better, but i dont like either one.

Same here

Moving to the Apple world.. Dont like anything else in Android world.. It feels like my favorite new puppy just passed away.. Feeling extremely sad, gloated.. How am I going to survive without stylus.? Beautiful camera, stunning screen and lots of productivity.
May be iphone plus 128 GB and Mr. Softy's Surface for its stylus. will help me tide over for a year till the Big Beautiful Samsung Note rises from ashes...
