I recently did an RMA with Google because mine would get hot. At times it got so hot it actually started to kill pixels on the displace(they started to turn white) right where the CPU was. I was surprised that they sent me a brand new unit and not a refurbished unit they did the previous 3 times I did an exchange.
Now I am contemplating selling it or just keeping it as a backup when and if I purchase the new Pixel. Right now I am so turned off by any thing LG made.

I would definitely sell it. A brand new N5X (especially an H790, if yours is) is fairly rare you could easily make $300 on Swappa or eBay.

H791 is the International version. If you're selling internationally that's fine. However, it's missing quite a few US bands, especially band 12.
H790 is specifically the US version, with basically all the bands you would want for every carrier.

They didn't. They just told me they are sending a replacement. I did 4 replacements total and this was the first time they sent me a brand new one.
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
So I opened it and decided to use it. If anyone gets a brand new replacement made in 2017. Here's a few things you should know.
The USB C cable is cheaply made. It's not the same as the stock one from 2015
They added a USB adapter. Micro to C.
The phone starts of with 7.0 instead of 6.0.
I can't tell if they didn't any changes internally but this phone runs cooler than my previous phone even after 15 minutes of straight use.

Can you swipe the switch in developer options to unlock bootloader and reboot and see if its still in the same position. I guess people have been having issues with that with replacements, just curious.

If it's brand new RPMB should be flashed. Given that OP's is on 7 he should have no issue.
My refurb arrived with 7.1.2 already updated and the bootloader unlocked just fine.

The Android version you're on is irrelevant.
Shut your phone down, then hold the Volume Down Key + Power Button until you get a scary looking screen with an Android. There should be a line saying "LOCK STATE: LOCKED", and if you have a somewhat old refurb it'll also have a line saying "NO RPMB".
However, since you said your refurb came with 7.0 I don't think it should be an issue.

What camera/phone did you take that with? My 5X photos do this all the time. Like when I take a picture of a check for depositing on the bank app. I have to really put it vertical for it not to do that. Even at like a 45 degree angle it'll do that so I have to prop it almost vertical. I'm assuming you don't have another 5X that you used.
Oh, I forgot add I also received a new 5X as a replacement, but back in June. My theory is they were going through so many replacements they ran out of refurbs and they had already decided to stop selling it due to the obvious hardware issue. So they had no reason not to use up the new 5X's and I think they still had some coming on the boat.

I'm trying to replace my 32gb black Nexus 5 and have been waiting a month for it to come back in stock since a rep told me it will be back in stock soon. I messaged them back a few days ago and they have just told me that they wont be produced anymore so they only offer refurbished ones.

I've removed my name and the senders name except for the first letter since I'm still trying to get a replacement and don't want anything to go wrong.
So.. If this is true.. for anyone thinking about not getting the Nexus 6 because its too big and getting a Nexus 5 instead.. looks like you have to hunt it down in retail shops since its not going to be produced anymore.

That's weird. The US play store shows both 16gb and 32gb black versions in stock. Maybe they are just selling off whats left?

Support does not equal produce.
The Nexus 5 stock they are getting in now are from unsold stock from retailers that are being forced to return unsold stock in place for the new Nexus devices. All Best Buy Locations have done this, Sprint is doing this, and T-Mobile is not too far behind either. Google is just reselling the returned stock direct on Google Play to burn away the remaining stock to those desperate enough that would not upgrade to the N6. That is it.
Nexus 5 will get Software Support for another year, but production has halted for some time now. Google is just trying to burn away stock directly (Hell they did this when they offered to swap out broken screened N5's in the US for new ones for free.) Just accept that the N5 is on its way out already.

First things mentioned on the page "Nexus 9, 6, and Player" Not really advertising the 5 much huh?
Also tablet stock is not remotely the same resale market as phones. Google is selling the returned stock of N5's because they know there will be people out there crying the blues over the N6's size at launch. Its padding, padding to soothe the size whiners and if Google can still profit from it why not dissolve the stock in the best way?

I had dust behind my camera lens of my Black 32gb and they could not replace with Black or White only Red.
They did offer me a full refund, so I took that now awaiting the elusive Nexus 6 in the UK!
i dont know about that the nexus website has a page dedicated to the 5
.google.com/nexus/5/
I somehow doubt they'll drop the N5. But taking this info into consideration, then maybe they'll just drop the 32GB on the N5 and have it exclusive to the N6. Not that that makes much sense either.

I ordered my Nexus 6 on Motorola on 11/6. It finally ships on 11/29. I ordered a 64GB Cloud White. Moto sent me a 32GB Cloud White on 12/2. I'm trying to understand how this happened. The box says 64gb, the packing list says 64gb, the internal storage of the phone shows 23Gb total space left. Bootloader shows 32gb Variant. Contacted Motorola on chat and the rep just basically said sorry about this give me your number and email and someone will call you...then proceeds to exit the chat promptly. Still waiting for that call.
Damn, Homie.
My heart goes out to you.

Doubt they are actual simians, but I'm sure they are some poor bastards getting paid slave wages in China to do it. If they thought they could use an actual monkey and increase their profits they would be working around the clock on ways to implement it.
I'm sure they will get this sorted out for you, however.
I would refuse to send the 32gb back until I received the correct device. Even if they had to put a hold on a card for them to ship me the correct one and I return the other. If they didn't bend over backwards, I'd contact my credit card company and see what they can do about it. That's just me though.

I would think that would be more than enough proof they screwed up the phone during manufacturing.
A few people had this issue. Use Fastboot to fully wipe the phone and then re-install the Factory image. Some phones had an odd partition issue and showed just 1/2 data.

Ok so many different forums started... I'm leaving my rant here.. Haven't read all these and I'm not...I'm on phone right now with Verizon as I'm writing this... I ordered the s7 edge to replace my note 7. She said
(1)Samsung is going to send out an update to disable our notes.
(2) when you trade in your device your locked into a 2 year contract. The 1 year upgrade Samsung doesn't apply to us.. She said that it only applied to new devices... She said that the note 7 is being played add if it never existed. So I asked well my phone is cracked on the back I can go through insurance and get a s7 and keep my upgrade. She said no assurion is acting like the phone doesn't exist also.. What about the money I paid into the insurance.. She said today should be refunded also back to you.
So in saying this. Buy the phone you want for the next 2 years, make sure the refund you also your insurance money. I don't know what I'm going to do or get now... As I told her if the phone never existed I would still have my note 4.. Not locked into a 2 year contract for a inferior phone

That's why Verizon and Samsung can kiss my ass. I'm not downgrading to make them happy. I'll take. My chances. Something happens, I'll buy a Note 4. Screw them. The Verizon people are clueless idiots anyway. You ask 10 of them, you get 10 different answers.
Call back, you will get a different answer. If you don't like that one, go to Chat and get a different one again.
Like this one. "There will be no further updates to the Note 7" then.... "Samsung will send an Update to disable all Note 7's".

If you block updates then this isn't an issue but the carriers may disable the IME#. Normally if an IME is disabled the phone doesn't immediately stop working, it can just no longer be activated.
Ha, well I've been ignoring the green battery update for a while now, and I'll continue to ignore it. I cancelled my order for the S7 Edge even though the clueless Verizon tech told me that upgrade wouldn't be held against me and I'd still be able to upgrade anytime if something I like comes out. I'm not green enough to fall for that one Big Red! Taking my chances also, until the next Note drops or something similar.

Hey, it's something. But I don't recall anyone's data catching fire. Besides, the real injuries were suffered having to deal with the phone swap....twice. But looking on the bright side I suppose $2.67 is nuthin' to sneeze at. That is, for the lawyers because they can multiply it by 2 million.
I actually called them, to get in on it lol...But waiting to hear back from them to see if they can put in an addendum to add the carriers. About locking is into another 2 year contract.. Now if that could be achieved it would be worth it

Hope it works out for you. I know there will be other lawsuits in the future. One's that may yield a bigger settlement to us users.
It's pretty typical for members of a class action suit to have to agree not to hold Samsung accountable in the future when the suit is settled. This mean any subsequent suits are not able to be brought by the members that signed on to the last one.
Oh I'm not signing up to be in lawsuit.. Just wanting to give more ammo..I mean you're right..About more lawsuits, but the next one and the one after that will use the info from the previous litigation I assume

If Verizon tries to charge me for a device they willingly erased all charges for they be facing a class action lawsuit. This recall is also voluntary. Samsung had to put the recall out, but we don't have to participate. Verizon just wants us to, to clean things up on their end. I don't foresee them being allowed to charge us for something they dismissed. People don't participate in recalls all the time. They don't repossess or pull car notes if the owner doesn't participate.
Where does it say in the text message from Verizon that this is voluntary.. Everything I see from Verizon said this is mandatory..ok I'm wrong. Samsung is saying it's a voluntary recall, but if you call Verizon they say it's mandatory... And they will be turning off phones.

I thought about waiting for the US version, but only 32GB and no quad DAC killed it. Korean model is definitely the one to grab.

Just pop in a 1TB MicroSD card. lol

Yea I just called T-Mobile also and their reps are clueless about the G6. Guess T-Mobile doesn't care about the G6 and probably thinks all big sales are gonna be on the S8.

What tech sites said TMobile preorders would start? They all said VZW
Now Verizon and Sprint giving away 4k Smart TV's and ATT giving LG Smart Watch on top of the free Google Home.
Seems they're all trying to win back the T-Mobile customers! lol
Its a war!!
Yet us T-Mobile folks are like what the bloody heck is happening with not even preorders yet.
Only reason I can think of for no preorders yet is because they don't have them in stock yet since they usually ship them out right away.
I WANT MY G6 DAMM IT!!!! @$#:!$

Yea I've still been around here in the LG G4 tmo section for the past twoooooo longgg years. Then was with vzw's LG G2 before that.
I've really like LG's style and become a die hard convert! lol Though with the G6 I will surely miss the volume buttons in the back of the phone that made them so original.

I loved my G4... I suffered from the mystery screen break and then moved on. Had a V10 for a while but that second screen was useless and also made it impossible to change screen DPI, unless you did it per app. If you changed the system DPI the phone went into bootloop and you'd have to reflash your ROM to get it back.
Preordering is not really useful. There is never a stock issue on opening day at a store. The only potential reason to preorder is TMobile has a habit of shipping early.
Big T usually ships early so I thing I need to order a case probably this week. Verizons already shipping thiers on March 31st.

Hopefully we get them a day or two early like some did with the Pixel.
I probably should have waited for the note 8, but I miss my note 7 so bad I just couldn't wait. Currently running Pixel XL.
Got mine in too, I've been on a Moto G4 since I turned in my Note7. Got a Black Plus and even went ahead and ordered some case off amazon already. Almost went with the bestbuy deal but i've had issues with them in the past. I should have probably waited for the next Note but damn I miss having a good camera.
Ordered 2 S8s 1 black 1 grey and 2 S8S+ 1black and 1 grey. It's been 10 years since I've been a Verizon customer (coming from Sprint). It will be good to be back.
I ordered as well....does anyone know how to sign up for our free gifts? I went to samsungpromotions.com after I checked out but I can't figure out where to go.
NM you have to wait until you receive the phone.
I have ordered the s8 plus from Koodo in canada. Should arrive 04/17 according to them. ?

I know what you mean. I have the note 7 and then with everything that happened I was so over Samsung I jumped to Apple and picked up a 7+. That was a big mistake. I was going to wait for the note 8 but I just needed to get out of this phone.
Anyone on Verizon consider ordering the international variant? Or it still the case that it's missing bands that work with CDMA? This is when I start missing my gsm phones.
PS
Ordered s8 midnight black at 1205am EST, 4/21 expected delivery date.
PPS
Did anyone else get the warning that the s8 will not be eligible for an annual upgrade? Isn't that why we joined an early upgrade Plan?

Interesting fact: all the s8 devices on display in my local Verizon store are SM-G950U and SM-G955U. This leads me to believe that big red is selling software customized Unlocked models.

Well, generally carriers carry their own one off model number to identify the bloat that will go into the phone.

I did not. I ordered using my 2 year contract. All in $400.
Indeed, this is evident in the history of Samsung devices for Verizon (SM-N910V, SM-G900VZKV, SM-N915V, SM-G920V, etc) it is just interesting to see that it is a U vs. the usual V coding this time around. I'm hoping this will lead to easier root and bootloader access but only time will tell.

OK I see what you are saying. Hopefully I will not have the desire or need to switch to something else for at least 2 years. But you never know. I would keep my Edge longer but I have an annoying issue of an over sensitive screen. It drives me crazy.
