Who is still using their Note 7? - Note 7 Questions & Answers

Who is still using their Note 7 even though samsung told us to stop using and power down our phones? Im still using my Note 7 while waiting for my replacement but I'm a little concern now since I saw those news headline about Note 7 incidents one after another.
Are you still using your Note 7?

Yes, still using it!.

I'm using mine, I dont have any problems with it, it never gets up to past 38C fast charging 3.0 + intense gaming, performance is amazing no lag or shutter even in pornhub with multi window. I cant complain about anything with this unit, I'm afraid they would actually send me a device that doesn't run as well as this one. I love this damn thing!

The ultimate test !

I am using mine, i haven't had any issue with it. I take extra caution when charging. I don't fast charge, charge when i am awake and keep an eye on it. It doesn't even get warm when charging. The phone seems to be a winner. I will replace it when i can....but still i was told not until Oct 1! Like the other user, I can only wish to receive a replacement that is of the same user quality as the one i have now!

Still using mine, waiting for replacement, best smartphone I've ever had.

I do but I've taken some precautions....

Still using it with no issues.
Samsung UAE told me yesterday in a live chat, that it is safe to use it if I don't experience any issues...
Interesting, isn't it?
It is still the best phone I ever had...

Every day.
I will wait patiently for the replacements.
My free 256GB memory arrives tomorrow.
I do not plan on jumping ship, IMHO Sammy has acquitted themselves quite nicely. T mobile as well.
The media and fans of other manufacturers have let themselves go.

Still happily using mine, runs like a top.

What is pornhub:highfive:

i am still using mine until t-mobile gets in the v20. then i will switch mine out. i only charge it during the day and luckily it doesn't really get hot during usage.

I don't believe i can best the comment the guy that did the porn hub test which by the way is impressive and reassures me I have a great phone. Currently I'm charging it and temp is about 31.6 C. On one hand I want to replace it, on the other hand I'm afraid the replacements will be tuned different. I game heavily on this with a case on and it doesn't get any warmer than any of my other Android powered phones I've had. Im impressed with this phone. I'm curious on where everyone's phones are running temp wise and how yer using the phone. Thanks guys.

love mine! planning to keep using it unless I can replace another exynos variant.

Still using mine though in the last few days its started showing some worrying trends with the battery just going from 40% 50% or 60% to 0% apart from that its running beautifully as others have said i hope the replacement runs as smooth.
I am now charging in a baking tray however just to be on the safe side and fast charge is off... i think first thing i will do is turn fast charge off on my replacement when i receive it as well. I cant see how it can be good for the battery in the long term.

What kind of issues did they warn you for? Cause in my mind I'm reading this like 'Well if it's not exploding then you can use it!' :')
People still using it might want to read/do this for extra peace of mind:

Overheating problem

Hello,
I recently noticed that the phone is overheating after a prolonged use, especially during a HD game like dungeons defenders). So, the phone is quickly burning and unusable.
Maybe someone else has this problem ?
Thanks

Paranoid? Not really, no. Just found it odd that someone would ask a fairly normal question and then wink at the end. It's like asking someone if they'll fix your car and then winking at them - they'd be wondering whether you meant it as some sort of weird euphemism!

Is your phone overheating?
All phones heat up a bit when gaming, especially these newer 3D games. Does it overheat? No. If it did, trust me you'd know lol.

If the heating interferes with the performance i'd call it overheating.. lets let him answer that.

No, the game runs fast in high quality, even if the phone is overheating.
But, the battery's temperature increases to 55°C.
My fingers burn when I'm playing a game :'(
PS : Idle temperature is 30-35°C.

You're probably right, but the phone is normally not released yet
But, I will ask for a replacement next week.
Apparently, it's not an isolate case : i saw on french forums that other people have the same problem.
We'll see next week if it's a problem appeared just on a few series, or not, when the phone will be sold in other countries...
funny thing, i heard One S is overheating as well
This doesn't sound like a reasonable complaint!! Its a full kitchen; a monster phone with a monster SoC; 4 full-speed cores + 12 GPU cores. Of course it'll heat up if you light it all up! LOL!
My advice is just don't push the performance envelope while you're charging the phone. The combined heat from the battery + the SoC can create some unpredictable results. I killed an HTC Diamond, a Sensation, and my HD2 screen TWICE doing just that (gaming hard while charging and once running IGo GPS for 4 hours while charging).... the end result is invariably unhappy

If he wanted to fool us he would edit it anyway..
I really don't think it's even good as an april fools..
I'm quite sure 55 would leave permanent trace on the phone, both physically and performance wise.
Playing heavy games while charging will result in additional overheat. I have most of today's phones since I own a retail dealership and I know what I'm talking about.
I'm quite dubious about believing that the phone could ever possibly reach this kind of temperature.
I'm only running on the nexus one for now until i get my ONE X through, but still smashing games whilst charging the phone quickly gets up to 40 degrees C however at that temperature throttling kicks in.
The highest iv ever seen my N1 go is 42 degrees, now if they have shoved all the power under the hood in the new ONE X i find it hard to believe that they would not have any kind of throttling to prevent overheating

but 55 is too hot to handle.. well, not really, but still pretty uncomfortable..
i cant imagine alighting from the bus or train, locking my phone and slotting it into the pocket of my jeans, all while it is at 55.. that might not fry my legs, but still, not very cool..

I can't imagine you alighting from a bus or train having been simultaneously gaming and charging. And frankly, in the absence of any evidence, I don't believe anybody's phone hit 55 or anywhere near, unless we're talking fahrenheit. ;-)

HTC One X - yes or no?

I have a pretty hard decision to make and I would really like to hear your opinion. I have a chance to extend my contract and replace my Galaxy S i9000 with the One X, but I'm not entirely sure if that's a good idea. First I'd like to state that I love the size of both the device and the screen. Now I don't really know how the battery is gonna do for me. I usually listen to music on my earphones for about 2 - 3 hours a day and I don't use any kind of data connection, just Wifi. Do you think it will get me through about 13 hours? Now I've read about the screen flickering issues and that part concerns me a lot. I understand that HTC released some updates. Did those updates completely remove the flickering problem? And I have one more question. How hot does the device get when you push the Tegra 3 to its limits? I would really appreciate any kind of feedback from you, the One X users and please let me know if there are some other problems that I didn't mention (I don't count the rainbow effect as a problem, since I won't be trying to crush my device). Thank you
13 hours sounds like a lot, but turning off wifi when you don't use it and the carrier data connection would save battery. there's only 1 other phone to pick from for Android and it's not out until about June, so if you can't buy at full price and go month to month and you don't want to wait until June - then get this one. there are also a bunch of threads about all of this. i would hate to have to mod this section.
i'm getting mine next week, but i'm paying full price because i'm on contract from the GS II until Oct 2013. after that, i'm switching to Red Pocket or something like that.
I know, I read all about the problems but I would just like some opinions on the worth of the device and how it does on a day to day use. I really don't want to spend so much on a device and then be sorry for that decision for 2 years. I have to have my decision ready by Monday and the opinions from you guys would help me a whole lot. I read literally dozens of reviews but that's just the first look, I need some information about the daily usage.
I reach 13 hours with 2.5hrs screen time on a daily basis

1day and 14hrs with 3hrs screen on time and that is with wifi on all the time...go for the phone mate. or wait till the s3 gets released and then make your decision. both great phones and great in their own rights....build quality of my phone no issues..minor software bugs but waiting for the update to come so it should sort it
So you guys are satisfied with the phone and it's the best phone on the market now, right? I guess I'll buy it on Monday then. Thank you very much for helping me with this decision

Sorry for coming in late, but I would also highly recommend this phone. Battery has been running now for 1 day and 4 hours without a charge. I haven't used the phone a great deal in the last 28 hours, however WiFi and Bluetooth have been enabled throughout.
Battery showing 60% charge.
It's a great phone!
+1 for the One X. I listen to music from the phone easily 3-4 hours a day, half of which is in the car. I noticed that if I turn the wifi off when I'm out and about, the phone can last a damn long time playing music. I haven't tested exact usage, but from memory, a forty minute drive used about 1% of battery or so.
Also, I have no hardware issues at all. Absolutely perfect phone. Only time when the battery really drops fast is if you are using it heavily with say a game, or internet with brightness set above 65% or so
Thank you guys, you have been really helpful. I just wasn't sure about the overall quality of the device and how bad those "problems" are, but you made it clear that the One X is worth the money

With constant music?
Anyhow, the Tegra 3 is supposed to have the support core which may improve battery life significantly when the screen is off (even if listening to music?)
Maybe I can try some tests!
I only just got mine.
Then there's always SetCPU (and it's profile functionality).

Here's a screen shot of mine 3G streaming a couple of hours of Rhapsody over BT today with not much display on-time. From my experience, Wi-Fi drains the battery less than 3G. The display is the big battery eater so for music with the display off you should make your 13 hour goal.

My batt is now in 51% and has been used for 13 hrs with screen on 1.40hrs
I have no issues with screen or anything else.
Can't complain about battery life but my use has been light so far.
That's why I love the XDA community, it's always ready to help Thank you once again and wish me luck in getting a problem-free One X
Had this phone for a week now and it's a perfect device. No issues at all, build quality is awesome, software could be a bit more tuned and optimized, but really, this is the best smartphone on the market at the moment. I'd give it 9/10. Sretno

Heat issue

Hey guys just got my G4 but i feel the phone easily get hot just on light usage like browsing the web for 5-10 minutes. Or just watching HD video for 5 minutes... Is that my device defect or what? Anyway mine was dual sim one thanks
Mine doesn't heat up on usage. The only he warmed was on extreme heavy usage using camera with tons of stuff on, or using it as gps.
Yeah this is actually probably the coolest fun I've used. I could have cooked eggs a few times with you note 4
Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk
My G2 used to heat up.. The G4, not so much. It's warm, but never hot to the touch like the G2.
Ok thats weird because mine heated up alot anyway if the phone has auto on feature? Because i just realized when i unplug the cord the phone booting itself
Maybe try a different player? Something is not right. My H815 runs cool.
Mine one also have heating issue. Yah it doesn't become untouchable but the main problem is I do not feel the heat on the back, I feel it in front, so it gets uncomfortable while talking outside in the hot summer days like these here.
too much heating on the lg g4
hi,
my lg g4 is heating up like crazy, specially on the front side which makes it really difficult to talk. also when the phone is in my pocket for over 3 0 minutes untouched i still feel the heat on my thigh and battery drops by 15-20%..... anyone with any solution to this?
Comparing between our Note4, G2s and G4s ... the new G4s generate more heat (warm) ... I can barely feel the heat on our G2s & the note4 is cool.
I don't play games at all. I think the G4s get better over time (it was much warmer the 1st day vs. the 2nd ...)

no... - i mean of course any phone will get hotter when exposed to hotter ambient temperatures...this is just common logic....seriously??????!!!
Did a bunch of 4k recording today and as it was being backed up to my google photos using LTE it did get super hot. Afterwards it did cool down.

On pace for over 8 hours SOT. This phone is a beast!
I had a much better one two days ago, but I didn't get a screen shot.
I average well over a full work day with more than 7+ hours of SOT.
I don't use a dark theme, but it's not a bright theme either. No power save use ever. I use bluetooth and headphones to listen to music throughout the day. Plenty of web surfing and media related tasks. I don't play games.
I believe I get better battery performance following charging via wireless instead of the Rapid Charger. It's just been my overall experience so far.
here is mine, I wonder if reboots Often help?

Not happy with my battery life at all. Even used Package Disabler with little success.
Don't know why it says 6 hours of screen time, I get about 3 1/2 and do intermittent quick charges as it drops into the 60-70% range quick.

There is something different or wrong, mines won't drop to 60% tell well the end of the day.
Rebooted after a few changes and waiting to see how it behaves, might need to factory reset. So far not impressed and over my return period (exchange for another note 5)

Crazy battery life haven't charged yet
Over 2 days lol sot over 3 hours never got this on my previously Note 4 , just imagine if i was a hard user would get sot probably over 6hrs and instead of 2 days , 1 day for having more sot.
Running On Samsung Galaxy Note 5 N920A
This version of the Note has me the most disappointed. I got less than 12 hours of use out of the phone, with it in ultra power saving mode for more that 50% of that time, just texting. I had my Note 4 with me as well, using that to listen to music, watch Netflix, and read on the Nook app, with wi-fi turned on but no cellular, bluetooth, or gps turned on, but I had over 50% battery left when the Note 5 died.
Battery life is great on this thing.

My battery has been good but not great and I think I know why. For some reason my Android System always seems to be whats eating up the most battery so I took a look at the running apps and found the following. Doing a little research before I disable them. The one that stands out to me is the IQ Service Agent.. I hope that's not carrier IQ.. See Screenshot:

AT&T never actually stopped using Carrier IQ. They were just doing a better job hiding it (or getting the phone manufacturer to bury it so deep that it's nearly impossible to remove.)
FML and I can't root my phone and get rid of it.. IT's causing my Android System to go nuts and always consume the most battery... This is disappointing.

FML and I can't root my phone and get rid of it.. IT's causing my Android System to go nuts and always consume the most battery... This is disappointing.

AT&T has a 14 day return policy. If you are still within it, why not return the phone and get something else?
Yeah I'm within the 14 day return policy but nothing on the market is better than the Note 5 in terms of overall package. Guess I'll just ride it out. I like the Note 5 a lot and I guess if I can get a full day of use that's good enough.. Plus Marshmallow should fix a lot of issues that plague Lollipop. Here's to hoping we actually see M before the Note 6 is released..

Samsung isn't terrible when it comes to updating. Especially when you consider the amount of work involved in getting TW ported, and the high number of devices they have.
AT&T, on the other hand, might not accept that update from Samsung until 2017 or later.
I'm very serious when I say that if you keep this phone, accept it how it is today. Assume no bug fixes, no updates and no root. This way, you're prepared for one possible outcome and can only be pleasantly surprised.
(Yes, I'm having to do the same math. You can't imagine how hard it is for me to accept a phone with no root... but it's a good device...)

So after a while, how does your N5X perform and would you still buy it?

Hi guys,
So its time for me to get a new phone again from work, next month.
And as I'm not given an unlimited budget, I'm thinking of getting the Nexus 5X (then I dont need to pay any extre money).
Last time I got the Nexus 5, which still performs great, but its dated and is ofcourse out-performed by my private Galaxy S6.
Two years ago, I actually swapped my personal HTC M7 with the Nexus 5, cause it performed better.
I have the luxury of just using another phone for work, and keep that one for private use, its no problem.
Would you guys think the Nexus 5X might make me do the same again? Swap my S6 for the 5X?
I'm an IT person, so fps drops really grind my gears, in pretty much anything.
How does the 5X hold up on gaming these days? I cant imagine the UI/browsing/scrolling to cause FPS drops, cause that is still flawless on the normal Nexus 5 today.
Anyone else made the switch? Anyone else has this experience?
Thanks guys!
No, it's a medium range phone. Except the lack of biometric sensor, I prefer Motorola Phones.
I'm not totally happy with this phone.
Since the march update the phone is perfectly fine for most tasks. Gaming performance is fine too. But im not to picky. I went from a s6 to 5x. I switched because i killed my s6.... I prefer the 5x.

It warms up a little in Asphalt 8 but no noticeable Lags.
I have the S7 and the N5X and using the Nexus as my daily driver.
Camera is still better on N5X and the experience always best even though the screen is a lot better on S7 and battery life also is better on S7 (tested several configurations with the N5X and can't make it the whole day with a little bit of music, 2 hours of video playing, and a little bit of browsing and whatsapp during the day).
Great phone that you can own for 280€ in Europe now... so best deal ever.
Going for the new HTC 10 the speaker in this phone is horrible.

try the surround sound mod in Nexus 5x themes and apps section . its a lot better now.
For me, the story starts and ends with Android updates, especially security updates. I'd thinkt that as an IT guy that would be high on your list of priorities as well. With the N5X, you'll get them as long as the hardware is still capable of running the latest Android version. Your S6 is nice now, but with the S7 out, how long do you think Samsung will continue to update the S6? I bought a Galaxy S3 on release around July 2012, less than 2 years later Samsung decided they were done and the phone still sits at Android version 4.4.2, with tons of security holes unpatched, even though here on XDA there are Android 6 ROMs for it. I mean, the S3 is *still*, 4 years after release, the most popular smartphone model in the world when you look at how many are still in use, and nearly all of them are vulnerable to security flaws that were fixed months or even years ago. Meanwhile the Nexus 5 was released a year earlier and is happily running the very latest Android version.
Literally the only issue I have with this phone is the speaker. I'll try the surround sound mod for that.
This phone is plenty fast. I switched from a 6P because it was too big. Going from the 810 to the 808 I haven't noticed a drop in performance, but I don't do anything performance heavy.
camera, fingerprint, stock android, quick updates, and dev community are flawless
after the march update, performance is perfect as well, both for normal use and gaming.
the only significant downside IMO, is that the battery is smaller than ideal for my daily use.
Also, and this is a lesser issue, the loudspeaker is sub-par.
I agree with everyone on the speaker, only other thing i wish was a better build quality, i have to use certain cases to get rid of the creaking plastic sound. For 200 dollars i plan on using this phone until the next Nexus.
The speaker is the only downside for me but I'm going to try some sound enhancements to see of it improves..
Despite of the small battery, battery life is still very good.. Performance is good and nexuses are so freaking smooth!

for me the speaker is bad, but since i dont listen music on speakerphone much,its not bothering me.. the only downside for me is charging the phone. not the speed of charging, but the fear of the phone might catch up in fire. few users had experience this. my 5x performs really good, coming from htc m7, would buy it if LG fix this charging burning issue.

Well ****. Lol didn't see that post. Did it say if he was gaming or doing something to stress the CPU? My phone is nice and cool when I charge it but I also don't touch it until its done. Only because fast chargers make the phone get super hot if you use it and charge. Easier to just wait
