why? whats wrong w/ nexus prime?
Considering a nexus prime doesn't exist... There's a lot wrong.
Nexus prime was a rumored name.. It's actually called galaxy nexus.

The nexus prime dosen't exist, it never did, it was the suspected name for the phone for months but since it was launched it has been reffered to as the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, if the place or person you ordered from said it was a nexus prime then it's probably fake.
ok, i apologize for confusion.. now i know

You should just start reading the threads and get acquainted with the current state of discussion on the device. It'll increase your knowledge base and reduce "omg what do i do" threads later on down the road.
Give the guy a break it doesn't matter what he calls it, even less you nimrods know exactly what he is reffering too...

Word, geesh, I wouldn't even waste the time correcting him.
Anyway, enjoy your phone OP. I missed delivery of mines today As an owner of multiple android devices the best tip I can give you is to read the general and development forums starting with the stickies. The best thing you can do for your device is to get fully aclamated with the ins and outs.

Exactly what he/she said, also make sure to read on helpful battery tips(if you already didn't know), so you won't freak out on battery issues.

Its fun to joke about, but seriously do this! I saw someone in one of the early Expansys/Clove/Handtec threads (one of the Euro importers) report that he missed delivery of the phone, and had to go pick it up at the distribution hub. He signed for the package, which indicates that he took the package and was OK with the condition of the materials. He then opened the box when he got home and found that someone at the shipping co had opened the box, taken the phone, and replaced it with something of similar weight. Extremely rough because it is super troublesome to deal with the shipping co and especially the importer who's based outside the US.
I plan on opening mine at the counter at FedEx when I go to pick it up. Not gonna take that kinda chance. I also requested the package be held at the distribution center, rather than taking a chance that I miss delivery and it sits on the truck for too long. Super tinfoil hat, but damn its a $575 package, I'm gonna check that **** first.

I've tried to search around a bit for some help but I'm not really sure what to search for. I found one other thread that was maybe similar to my issue but I'm not sure.
I ordered the note 8 from Staples and it arrived last Tuesday 9/10. I was a really hot day and the packing box was roasting hot. The product packaging was hot and the device was hot. I let it cool but when I finally powered it up the screen was buggy (see pic band of "static/snow" it was worse than that). I did a little search to see if I should return it right then or if it was just a temporary thing. What I could find seemed to suggest it might be the heat, factory reset and see if it was better. I did that and it was better for a day or two. Then it just would flicker a bit late in the day on days when I used it a bit more. Today it's been acting up since I first turned it on.
It doesn't get really hot just maybe a little warm in the 80 degree range maybe where I can just barely feel it.
So, I am bummed out wondering if I need to take it back to Staples or contact Samsung now that I've got it all set up ect. Or exactly what's going on with it? I haven't tried a reset again but not sure at this point it's going to do anything...?
So just looking for some thoughts on what I should do next or if it's able to be saved or not?
(pictures: it's not always that bad sometimes it's just tiny speckles on pictures or text sort of like at the bottom of the bar in the second picture)
Well now the charger doesn't seem to want to work so...
Pretty sure of my answer but feels like one of those moments when you just need someone else to say it haha.

Was in the process of returning it right when you posted that I bet. It was beyond buggy this morning so there was no denying it needed to go back. I think I was in denial because I've been so lucky until now that I've never had to return something that was brand new like this.
First they wanted me to go through the warranty but finally decided I could just exchange it (sadly none in stock) so shipping a new one should get here Fri, knock on wood!
Thanks
It's a pain in the @ss, but better safe than sorry. Probably wouldn't made you pay the shipping on warranty to boot.
Good luck.

I had the exact same issue with my first note 8 received, on the lower third of the screen, and it was getting worse as it was used.
Return is the best option, this is hardware related (maybe a simple connector, but it's better to have a good unit isn't it ?)

It seems that the failure rate of the Note 8 is pretty high. I saw refurbished Note 8 sold everywhere: eBay, bestbuy, Walmart etc...

I've wanted a Nexus 7 for awhile now. I noticed Office Depot was selling the 32gb version for $229. And I was planning on going and buying one later today. But, after reading through this forum, I'm wondering if it's even worth buying one? Most of the threads I've seen are people just having problems with it. I don't want to drop over $200 on something that has touchscreen issues and random screen cracks. Are all of them this way, or just some? If so, is there another android tablet in the $200-300 price point that would be a better option?

The touchscreen issues are gone for me since the 4.4 update. But the screen has randomly cracked for me, in the left up corner (still working). If it worth buying one ? I don't know, this is a good tablet, smooth, fast, has a beautiful screen and all but it has some issues... I would say it depends of which phone you have.

It's slightly out of my price range. I'ma gonna be leaving here in a bit and pick a nexus up. Hopefully I don't get a defective model. If I do, I'll probably just get a kindle fire hdx and wait for cyanogenmod.
I got the nexus. So far, so good. Updated to 4.4.2. Used a screen test with no problems at all. The only thing I've noticed is a slight audio skip when switching from portrait for landscape mode on the youtube app.
For me, even considering some touch issues, it was worth it because the n7 was my first jump into android as well as a tablet form factor. I have not even scratched the surface on what there is to learn.

Don't worry about what you read here, if you go to a repair shop, you're going to see nothing but broken cars. For every device that someone is complaining about, there are 10,000 that work fine. It's just that the other 10,000 people don't post on xda.

You tend to only see bad experiences on forums because that's what most people use them for.
The good experiences are usually never reported.

If I'm remembering right, there's a whole thread in the general forum devoted to just that. OP, you might want to go hunting for it. Giant pile of testimonials from people who love the tablet. I had a screen lifting problem on my first unit, but my exchange has performed flawlessly so far.
Is there any real issues with buying refurbished? I'm looking at Walmart which says refurbished but not Manufacturer refurbished. Thoughts?
I got a return from there groupon deal. I think Walmart and group on have the same resources for getting refurbished tablets. I don't see a problem. I got a 90 day warranty.

A lot of people think the Groupon tabs and the WalMart tabs come from the same source. Groupon says manufacturer refurb'd, so if they're the same WalMart's are too. I'm receiving my Groupon tab tomorrow, I'll post back on the condition.

Thnx. I ordered one yesterday and it's scheduled to get here Tuesday. I also bought the $74 dollar 2-yr warranty against everything. I figure I'll check it out once it gets here and can always return it if necessary.
I'm sure I'll figure this out once I get it and start loading stuff onto it and using it, but the one thing I don't want to happen is for it to crap out on me when I'm in the middle of class...
Is there a list of tests that should be done on it upon arrival?
From what I've seen here, the Bluetooth could do with being tested. Battery as well, make sure it lasts about as long as the others here. From what I've seen, some have excessive light bleed, too. I'll be checking all of that on mine first thing.

Yes definitely test anhy devices screen and basic functions. I've had issues with my Nexus 5 (had to get 3 replacements). This returned Note 10.1 2014 is fantastic. Bluetooth works and the screen is perfect. Anecdotal evidence though.

Yes, but Groupon also has a 90 day manufacturer warranty, too. And it's cheaper than WalMart. Anyway, all I need is maybe a week to make sure it works as advertised. After that I'll be rooting it, so I wouldn't be able to return it anyway.
Alright, I've had a day to play with my Groupon Note, reporting back now. Basically, it's perfect. It looks brand new, can't tell it's a refurb. The screen is awesome, Bluetooth works fine, and even while it's still stock, I've got none of the lag some people talk about. I love it.

I've never had a Note phone, so I don't know how they click, but my pen clicks. I actually had a little difficulty removing it at first. I have to hook it hard with my fingernail to get it out. Has a very audible "click" sound when taking it out and putting it back, and I can feel it, too.

For the manufacture refurb note 10.1 2014, does it come with replacement tips for the S Pen?
Thanks!
Mine didn't, but I'm sure you can find them somewhere. I wasn't even aware the tip could be replaced.
Edit: Scratch that. The pen doesn't come apart whatsoever. If you need a new tip for some reason, you'll need to get a new pen.

Samsung has reportedly halted production of the Galaxy Note 7 in association with China and US authorities after several replacement units caught on fire.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N930A using XDA-Developers mobile app
I read this but you know, out of how many million phones have been sold only 8 phones have caught fire. This doesn't mean all Note 7's are bad. In a mass produced item there is some fallout. Now this is a doozie no doubt but at least give Samsung a chance to investigate. I have a Note 7 and absolutely love it. If I have to send it back I will. But I aint gonna go turning it in just yet. It would be different if there were hundreds catching fire. But only 8 out of how many.... This just my opinion though.

As of now, it's a temporary stop. Not permanent.

This stop is likely a temporary one for safety until they can investigate all the reports. That way if there IS still a fault they have limited output. If there ISN'T them they can just restart.

2nd deja vu happening again , now they are dealing with ion batteries not other hardware or anything , dont think samsung wants a third one , one thing i dont understand is why would they recall the whole set rather then recall the battery
Ugh, how could there be a second issue.
Anyone want to guess at the second issue?
Phone too thin? Part poking the battery? Battery not actually fixed? Different battery issue? Bad batteries made it in? Chemistry wrong?
It's over. Production won't be started again, stopping production is a massive thing and Samsung obviously know they have a design fault . Samsung will cut its losses and scrap the Note 7 because the brand is now ruined and trust is lost. Very sad.
I think it's more An economic decision. Until they are sure there's no problem, why continue production?

If they were confident in their engineering and knew there was no problem they wouldn't stop. They obviously think there is a problem and are winding down. Theyre not going to say straight away there's a fault and "recall", it'll be "were looking into it". The phone is done for.

I really love N7 in term of hardware and what Samsung has done to the Note series to make it what it is today minus the problematic battery. Really hope they can bounce back for the N8. Shame that this may be the end of N7. With it, I do not know if there is a point of keeping the phone since halting production can also mean slow and can possibly stop software supports??!?!?
I'm just curious why there are no such cases in the rest of the world???it seems only in the US and in Taiwan ??
yes that's right
What ever is going on media is slowly killing the device... even me that loved and wanted this phone for ages are starting to wonder. I still doubt that any of new events are true but company like T-mobile with Apple help are killing this device. They don't need any proof they will be always able to fake an accident and this will be always a hit to Samsung... The best phone in world and with such problem it starts to become the worst... Who knows what will happen I'am still waiting for mine. Ordered on AUG17 and now should get it on OCT17 but this can always change. It's so SAD because with this N7 Samsung would 100% killed Apple and would have a more solid ground next year.
No explosion in EU, yet. Only in USA and Korea. Strange

This. If anything the last couple of weeks made me hate the media even more (if that's possible). Hate is a strong word but there's something fundamentally wrong in our society with the way news are transported. Most of these articles are so phony it screams staging.
Nobody knows the true extent of the numbers. Only Samsung and it's not going to ever reveal the true figures. Even if it says it has. However aggressive anyone feels about the news coverage, certain sites have done a lot to verify their sources. Problem is a large company like Samsung cannot move as fast, plus investigating all the issues is not a quick process.
Regardless of the above paragraph , Samsung would not have done the first recall, now be stopping production temporarily if there wasn't a real issue.
I do wonder why there have been no reports in the EU too. It could mean there haven't been any, and or Samsung silenced any that had arisen. Don't forget not everyone wants to take a photo and upload to social media.

We have 230V with a fixed 'zero' and only Exynos models. Perhaps that has something to do with regards to the quickcharging? But only a few phones are delivered here.
I think the 'refurbished' phones after the recall are actually regular production line phones, but X-rayed, updated and repackaged. If the X-ray showed nothing, I think you could still have a gen1 phone that is now bursting into flames. I don't think they will go through the trouble of opening up 2,5m phones and replace the batteries. That is more labour and time intensive than to bring out new units for about $200-250 worth of materials.
http://www.cnbc.com/2016/10/09/sams...ended-production-of-galaxy-note-7-report.html
Full statement is they are adjusting the supply to the demand. US customers which is probably their biggest base, don't want the phone anymore.
