Picked one up today. TMO USA.

Cool. So I picked up the HD7 this AM here in NYC. All my contacts, emails and calendar imported from Google with no problem. Putting some music and photos on and I downloaded the Facebook App from the Marketplace. So far so good...lets see in a couple of hours.

Picked mine up as well so far it is great. Exchange came in with mail, contacts, and calendar just fine.

me too
got mine too, i'm liking it so far.
had to tweak the outlook setup because of a university email (off site exchange server), but downloaded everything pretty fast.

Just a note. If you have a contact whos mobile number is listed as a home phone it wont show up under messaging or allow you to SMS that person. You have to change it. I didnt have to do that in Android.

Got mine today as well. LOVE IT!!!!!
I gotta say, Android does not do this processor any justice... I knew it was smooth by reading reviews but this thing blew me away from the first swipe... Even the iPhone has to work hard to keep up
I know it has limitations and I'm not gonna dismiss them as not needed like a lot of people do... All I'm saying is that im willing to grow with the platform and enjoying every minute of it

yeah.. this device is ridiculously fast..
it makes my galaxy S feel slow and I know the hardware isn't as good in this phone as it is in that one..

Yep, ordered mine today. Hopefully (since I payed for express shipping) it should be here tomorrow. Can't wait! Glad to hear all the good stuff about it as there have been many haters talking about how bland it looked and nit pick the things it doesn't have yet.

I picked mine up today as well. The only things I am missing from the Nexus One are an XDA app, an Engadget app, and Swype.
I'm sure these apps will come in time.

so i went to play with one at my t mobile store and all they had was the dummy unit! Wasn't this supposed to launch today!?

Terrible launch IMHO.

Agreed

Why are you calling it a terrible launch some stores don't have the unit. you should have gone to another tmobile store to check it out and a lot of 3rd party retailers have the demo as well.
you just do not wanted to put in enough effort to research and blame the whole world for it

My t-mobile store had one on saturday that people could look at..
Looks like your store is fail..

The T-Mobile store I went to on Saturday when I went to pick up my HD7 had a live demo. I got to play with it while the rep activated my phone. They were all pretty excited about the phone too, surprisingly.

Well...phone will not sync with Zune. Sucks really. I will keep trying but it doesnt look like its going to work. I drag music to the phone icon and its says syncing on the phone...but nope..nothing is there....even if i click summary in zune and hit sync it says its doing it but its a no go. Hmm.

Drag it into your collection first.then right.click and add it to the HD7.

Picked mine up today. Love it. Coming from Android.

Im having a hard time between HD7 and MyTouch 4G. Let put android and window phone 7 aside, which phone is better?

Spec wise the MT4G wins hands down. Faster CPU/GPU, More RAM and HSPA+. I was in a similar situation but then opted to go for the HD7 simply because I am interested in the OS. Hoping it's better than the Android and iOS. Also hoping in the next update we get flash capability or Silverlight/html 5.

I absolutely love it! Granted I've only had it 2 hours. Stuck to hand.

Best app for stolen phone

I am looking for input from people who have used the apps out there. I have read a lot and see the articles, etc but I am looking for some real world experience.
I want an app that cannot be disabled, wiped, or the removal of the sim would impact. Anyone know what is best?

There's a Themes and Apps subforum for this.

Moved to themes and apps

No matter what if you take the sim out it wont work because there would be no way of relaying the location of the phone without the service the sim card provides.

Seems to me that if the phone can still access the network without a SIM card to make a 911 call, it should be able to allow an app access to report itself stolen or be located.

Seems another reason not to use a phone crippled and limited by a sim card.

False. Some of the stolen phone apps will actually work just because of that fact. The phone detects the SIM was changed, so it sends out its location. However, I'm not sure how it'd work if they just took the SIM out for good. But that's just not really probable. Most people steal phones to either use them themselves or to sell them to people who end up using them.

Try Theft Aware, very good app, can't be detected, nor disabled, and reports location even after sim removal.
Overall, the best protection is insurance. Cover your assets. If it's lost/stolen suspend the service, file a claim, get another. Just had to do so myself, mine was took out of my pocket while I was in a fight at the club.

How the hell did someone get in your pocket during a fight?? Play some defense man! Jk

Try droid seek it is very good. It costs $1 but its worth it. It says that it works without sim card (entirely) but I have never tried it.

Lol, I got jumped. Started off one on one, I beat his ass, his boys jumped in, snatched my phone before security pulled them off, yup....unfortunately cowards run in packs

since we sell it I really recommend taking a look at theft aware. It's definitely the only product in the market that survives a factory reset (if installed with root privileges), works with other simcards (many competitors do that too)
and - theft aware will soon offer a web remote interface where it also works without simcard (if a wireless lan is available)
here are two coupon codes offering a 40% discount on theft aware. be quick. each one only works once.

+1 solid app

yea might have to look into getting an app like droid seek or theft aware.
after a gruely 5-6 days ive got my phone perfectly the way i like it and everyone knows thats when something happens to it.

if its already gone try plan b from the market and install it. It will gps it to a very good location and send google maps to show you where it is to your gmail acct

With hard reset and flashing to. stock with oneclick won't this app be useless?

How to get the 100GB of OneDrive?

So I was reading this article on Yahoo called "Carriers are removing some key Galaxy S6 features – everything you need to know" for the S6. It states AT&T is disabling the 100GB of OneDrive! That is something I definitely want. How can I get this if I want to use AT&T without buying an unlocked phone, I have to buy a phone from a carrier for work.?
Could you just go in the bootloader, flash it and load the default android and still get the 100GB of OneDrive? Does anyone know?

I have heard the only way to get it to work is to go into Best Buy and find a working floor model from Sprint or T-mobile and sign into OneDrive on that device. The 100 GB will be added to your account. Then make sure you sign out of the device and you are good to go.
From what I understand the 100 GB is only a 2 year offer so be aware you may be charged after 2 years to keep the extra space.

That's interested on the 2 year. I talked to AT&T and they said they give you 50GB of cloud storage...I wonder if they charge for it too?

That is exactly what I am planning on doing this weekend when I have some time and I was going to try and see if it works.

There was an update to OneDrive available for me this morning on the Play Store. Updated, and rebooted my phone. Had a notification for 100GB for 2 year offer. Confirmed I had camera backup turned on, and now have 100GB+ storage.

WOOOOOOT, I can confirm that all I did was log off from onedrive and login again after I had applied the update earlier in the day (I didn't check for the 100GB offer). However once I logged back in under settings there is now an option called apply 100GB offer from samsung and now I have 130GB of OneDrive.
Thanks for the headsup.

Same here. Probably not 'enabled' for the Note 7 yet.

ok cool, was hoping it just wasn't me

Same boat

Used it for the first time this morning at the car wash. Worked perfectly.

When you say it isn't working, are you meaning you can log in and setup your Credit Card and such or that is doesn't work at the terminal?
I got everything setup last night but haven't tried to use it anywhere yet.

Go into samsung pay settings and turn simple pay on for the number of options there.

Same issue on my wife's.. mine works fine (Black) hers acts like the service isn't available (Coral Blue)
Even though she was using it on her Note 5...?
What color are you guys that are having this issue? I am wondering if there is something different by color.. I know it sounds weird, but there were differences between my wife's White Note 5 and my Gold Platinum Note 5..

I haven't tried to use it yet, but the app setup fine. I was able to add a bunch of cards as well.

Then yours is fine.. what we're talking about, is it doesn't even allow you to get to the setup. It acts like the app is "coming soon"

I have a black Note 7 and had the same message last night after receiving my phone. I figured that it was not ready for the note 7 yet, and slept on it. When I tried again this morning it allowed me to log in and set it up just fine. Not sure if this is why it worked the second time, but I restarted my phone this morning after all the installs and cleared the cache. Maybe that had something to do with it?

Been using it perfectly since I got the phone yesterday. Added 6 cards and 3 loyalty cards. Got the 20 dollar promo at best buy getting a screen protector last night.

I just got off the phone with Samsung, was having the same issues, Added that card fine last night, went to try use it today and the card was gone and every time I tried to add it, it kept saying "cannot connect to samsung pay"
They had me open the application manager, force quit the samsung pay "samsung pay framework", clear its cache and then click on "samsung pay" force stop, clear its Cache and it Data.
That forced me to go through the setup again, but allowed me to add my card, and now it seems to be working.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

I didn't use it. However, I noticed an update for it within the Samsung pay app settings, under "about". It should be version 2.2.02. I'm not saying that's the cause, but might help.

i setup mines up last night ok. i added two of my cards. One i did the resend for the activation code 2 times. The other card did work never got one. Then this morning i deleted it and readded and the activation card got sent and work this time.
I remember on my s7 edge when i first got it. samsung pay didnt work. woulnt get pass finger print. Call samsung and they said to delete the samsung pay app data and cache.
Once i did that the s7 edge setup fast and easy.
Worth a shot if you guys n girls are still having problems.

Mine worked perfectly at Walgreens and I got a 20 dollar Samsung gift card

it's working now after update

Worked great last night at the movies. Even got the free $20 virtual gift card 2 minutes later. Be sure to use Samsung pay at least once to get your free money!

Samsung Pay working for me just like you see on commercials. I get the same reactions too.
I notice when I took off the locking on lock screen Google pay said it won't work due no lock on lock screen. May be this is same with Samsung Pay.
It stands that if you have stuff like Samsung Pay, Google Pay, etc in your device that you should lock your device too.

3rd day now and I still can't register the cards I had on my S7. Tried everything. I guess I'll call Samsung at some point today.

Unable to find Clear Storage option in Device Care.

Hello. I am using Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Exynos Variant running Android 10 One UI 2.0.
I cannot find the clear storage option in device care. It was there in Android 9.
After updating to Android 10 I have done full factory reset.
Cleared the cache and data of device care but still it's not there.
Is this an error or Samsung just removed it???
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Screenshot attached.
Thanks.

It's been removed as it sent data to a 3rd party in china. There's literally no reason you'd need to use the feature anyway...

I like a junk file remover. Yes I know it should clean out on its own. Still like gaining back the 2-3GB of wasted space even if I don't need it. I don't keep junk mail for weeks or months why should I keep it in my phone is my reason.

I sort of get that although I've literally never needed to clean up 2-3GB on my phone in the last 6+ years. But a junk remover that sends your data to a spyware company in china? No one needs that, even Samsung finally agrees.

I have a tendency to over research things (Asperger's) and cache files can grow quickly in short order. I also use my phone as my main device so I spend more time on it then most. I think I also have anxiety over having enough storage for all the movies and shows I buy. Which is probably what drove me to get the 512GB edition and then slap 128GB SD in as well.
