There is now a 303K Nexus 4.

I have RMA'd 8 Nexus 4's. I have used every model except the 210k. I've noticed many improvements in build quality.
With the 302K, we got the little nubs and a more solid feel. Almost all of my Nexus 4's had creaking and build quality issues.
This 303K is perfect. The striping/banding problem with the display has been significantly reduced and the build quality is perfect.
This is the best Nexus 4 I've used. No problems at all. This will be my last RMA. I am keeping this one. :good:

Glad to hear that. Thanks for the information. Google has been quick and effective. Maybe I will send mine to see if they can replace it...
How many days did it last from u sent the buggy one untill u recieved the new one?
Thank you!

For me, the RMA's have been extremely quick. They ship me a new device in two days flat.

can i check if your phone is rooted when you RMA? I called the nexus hotline and stupidly tell the officer that my phone is rooted with custom rom.
Initially he wanted to direct me to manufacturer then I told him that I will insist on RMA with play store as I am going to restore it back to stock and relock it.
So now he needs to let his specialist know to see if they can still allow me to RMA it.

oh so yr is rooted with custom rom and you reverted it to stock and relock.
They accepted all without any issues? I am worried that they will reject and I end up having 2 devices. Moreover, I am in SIngapore and i have to pay taxes for the faulty phone if play store rejects it.

Yep. No problems so far. I did the exact same procedure for every device. With some of them, I noticed a problem right away and didn't bother to do anything at all. I just called Google right away.

Nah, they know what we do with devices... that's why they sell soo much.. phones. Flash to stock, relock BL and send it. Don't worry they won't reject it.

ah thats what I was thinking too.. its a developer device and they expect us not to root?
Was taken aback when the customer service officer says the warranty will be void and blah blah.. Guess I will wait till what the specialist instructs..
my Rev 10 212k powerbutton is failing on me.. zz

Yeah the one I ordered a late march was a 303k version as well, and nothing has gone wrong with mine yet.

ah crap. google play just replied and they are biting on the fact that I had tampered with my phone's software and voiding my warranty. I have written another long email hopefully they can allow me to just rma.
This is plain rubbish. A nexus device but dont allow root.

Does only nexus 4 from USA have this type of serial number?

When I bought my N4 on March 28th, it was also a 303K - and I grabbed it from my carrier rather than through Google Play (didn't want to wait for shipping, and it was only $7 more, so I decided it was worth the convenience). Also, it's one without the new little nubs. Aesthetically and functionally, it was absolutely perfect! Screen was beautiful, especially when using AOSPA with it's nicely tuned kernel. Still fragile, though, as it's first fall less than 2 feet did shatter the screen. To be fair, it hit concrete face-down, so I'm not really surprised it broke... and to answer hoangtungst, I got mine in Canada.

That sucks but to be brutally fair you can't argue really. They make no secret of the fact you void your warranty by rooting.
Sorry
Just out of interest would anyone pay a bit extra for a "true" dev phone in that the warranty remains intact for any software changes?
Thinking about it tho, that would leave lots of grey areas and loopholes, such as turning of thermal throttling and physically damaged the CPU etc.

Mine is a 302k, it doesn't squeak, it does not have nipples, and display is perfect. 303k just means produced in Korea in march 2013. I assume that more important is the hardware rev version, the external parts are subject to modifications without any advertisement, and they are just related to the end of old parts before starting using new ones...

You said that your power button is failing? Just tell them, how does a button failing have anything to do with a custom rom put on the device?
If you fried something in side the phone from overclocking etc then yeh I could get why they'd reject it.

Really 8? Why did you send the last one in? Cause you wanted nubs and a new lens? I highly doubt you got 8 defective units. So stupid

I had the exact same thought. I don't know of anyone who would have gone through the RMA process 8 times for legit reasons. You would move on to a different device long before you dealt with 8 RMA's. Google should have told you to pound sand when you requested the 4th RMA.

Initially they were okay with rma. Then I mentioned about rooted then the officer started saying about void warranty and ask me to back to LG

Note 4 gyroscope calibration...

ive searched google and only found the option on note 2. i also found where it said to do a self sensor test on the galaxy s5. tried it , to no avail. i was wondering if any one has experience this issue before. stock rooted. havent deleted or messed with any apps or settings other than the blatantly obvious bloat. its a brand new note 4 btw. less than a month, never dropped or wet. kept in an otterbox defender from day 1. could this possibly be some app messing with the settings? ive gone so far as to set a level on it and test to make sure my world isnt tilted lol. but im spot on. any ideas are appreciated.

When you went back to stock, what steps did you take exactly?

I think if you got phone replaced and you have issues already something you doing is off. As mentioned before give a step by step thing u did to this point. Did you load a backup? What rom? Stock from a fresh download?

tried that already.... i went into recovery and wiped the cache first, then i did a master reset. the replacement tmobile sent me is doing the same exact thing. so it has to be some type of hardware problem or its baked into the firmware.

yeah ive got another on the way. just read a thread on here and on ATT web site were the guy had the SAME EXACT problem. his was going to the right tho. said he traded it in, that one did the same thing. even tried it on the demo model at the store and it did the same thing. im wondering if this may be more common than we think. every one check your phones... and please let me know if you have similar issues. ive downloaded damn near every app to try and calibrate it, but it wont budge. phone was never dropped or any water damage. and yes stock ROM from sammobile. never had a custom rom on it. furthest i went was rooting it.

What app are you using to test this
BAD ASS NOTE 4

Hmm, mine seems to be pretty spot on (without having attempted any calibration). The attached screenshot was taken from the Level tool in Smart Tools Pro, after holding my phone in landscape then laying it down on a flat surface. My setup is DynamicKat 4.2 and AEL kernel 7.3. Out of curiosity, if you check in the app Phone INFO Samsung, what hardware revision is your (the people who are having problems) phone? Mine is rev1.1. Just wondering if this might be a problem that affected rev1.0 devices and was possibly fixed in rev1.1?

How do I access that? I've seen the Rev version some where before I can't seem to find it now though.

I had to search a bit for it too with the app's new UI
After launching the app, swipe right (swipe R -> L, that is) through the menus until you get to the Hardware section. Then you'll find the hardware revision near the middle in that section.

What app are we taking about exactly? The phone dialer app? Kinda confused. You're gong to have to lay this one out for me lol. I'm still on KK 4.4.4
Also thank you for your help and trouble shooting.

will lollipop update ( or this method) reset knox???

im dealing with tmobile going through a warranty exchange process because the accelerometer/ gyro is off. ive tested 3 different phones all with the same issue. all apps using the gyro/accel drift off to the left. im sure these phones are all from different batches because the original i bought in store, the second sent from tmobile seemed brand new all wrapped up in the protective stickers , and the 3rd was sent the same way with out all the protective stickers and ****. im at my wits end with a brand new 700 dollar phone. obviously im a bit ocd with these types of things. if im paying a PREMIUM price for a premium object, i expect premium quality control standards. cant imagine they all have the same exact same hardware issue.
my main question is , when the 5.0 update drops for tmobile will it reset the knox counter? ill update via kies. never installed a custom rom. just root and recovery. just need to know in case the update doesnt fix the issue like they said. they tech advised me that if its tripped and samsung tells them so, it will cost me over 400$. and i cant afford that. any one know for sure? also will the method in this thread work on the note 4? or is there a version that will. if it does reset knox i will not root it until my warranty is up. ( at the time i didnt know reflashing stock firmware wouldnt clear it. it always had before.) thanks in advance.

i didnt he told me amidst our conversation... why would you even post? unless you have information or something of value just save it. your post is completely point less

You can't reset Knox.
It doesn't matter. They don't check.
Just Odin to stock + factory reset.

When i send my note 3 for a warranty thing, they rejected it because i had tripped the Knox flag

I had rooted my note 4 put lots of custom roms. I just factory reset, did a warranty exchange and I didn't get charged from tmobile.

Never in 8 years have I been charged for that. Tmobile uses an outside company to refurbish phones and they don't check either. First test they do is power on. If it does they flash the last update and see if it works if it does they hook it up to a pc and it runs other test if they pass it gets check for damage and sent back to someone as refurbished. Ur free to do as u will but anyone who says Tmobile checks is such a damn liar.

Oculus no longer supporting the Note 7!!!

So i was using my oculus gear vr at work and it was working fine. I tried using it just now and it said it had to update. It doesn't let you do anything till you do so.... So after it does a screen comes on it that basically says "oculus is no longer supporting the Note 7. For further details contact samsung directly" .... dammit! It was working fine. My note is V2 (yeah in aware of the news) but still.
What to do? Any work around? I have several paid games that I can no longer use.
Edit: I guess ill try reinstalling the app and uncheck "auto updates"

and the abandon note 7 ship begins lol

nothing, it just reinstalls the latest "updated version 2.15.4." I can't find anywhere to d/l previous versions of the oculus apk. I really don't want a S7 but it's looking that way! Dammit samsung.. . Get your $hyt together

Wonder if theres a way to stop the update. I've backed up all the Oculus apks just in case, but where to go from here.

I can understand the Oculus reluctance to support the Note 7. I didn't experience it myself, but phones typically run pretty hot in VR equipment. I'd suppose they don't want any exploders that close to someone's eyes. Lawyers tend to get a bit cranky.

I'm rooted and I've tried restoring various combinations of apks. Nothing works. You can't even play your own movies on your phone. It requires wifi and as soon as wifi is enable, it refuses to go forward without updating. I haven't tried enabling wifi, but blocking the oculus servers, enabling local wifi, but not internet, or any hacking to change the phone id.

From an email I just got:
Customer safety is our top priority. While Samsung investigates multiple reports of issues on the Samsung Galaxy Note7, Oculus is removing support for all Note7 devices on the Oculus platform.
If you have bought content in the Oculus store to use with your Note7 and you’d like to be refunded, Oculus will honor that. More information about the refund process is forthcoming, and if you have any immediate questions, please go here.
For more information regarding the Note7, please visit Samsung’s information page or contact Samsung directly.

So i guess Internet is mandatory to use the oculus software.... I was thinking that maybe installing a previous version apk while having all wifi and data off and then choosing to not let oculus update automatically would allow us to use the software.
Ugh... S7 edge!

If you have root, change the phone model with the buildprop editor. I did this on my note4 to trick oculus into letting me install AltSpaceVR, since it said it requires Note 5. I bet that'll make it work.

I'd like to try that, but I'd need the build. prop from an S7 edge or equivalent supported by oculus. I don't know the phone model text required, and there's lots of identifying info in build.prop about the Note 7. I'll hunt around for build.prop info on the S7, but if anyone can post it here, I'd appreciate it. (I had an S7 edge until a few days ago as a loaner.)

Okay, using root, I changed /system/build.prop and substituted SM-G935T into the ro.product.model. It works! At least mostly...
It knows who I am, but some of my apps aren't there. I also can't play any of my local videos. It can't find them. However, I could play facebook videos and I think it's allowing free games, etc. I've only been testing a few minutes.
I also tried SM-G930T, which also passes into the home area, but you can't merge your eyes. It's not displaying correctly for a Note 7 screen.

Please test SM-N920T. Let me know if that works better than SM-G935T. I didn't even think about the Oculus app adjusting for screen size

I think I may have found a work around for the VR issue. I edited my build prop so that my note 7 looks like the s7. after restart no more prompting to upgrade oculus and went straigth to the apps page.

How can I use Samsung Pay?

I've installed the latest version of Samsung pay and when I put my thumb print it just flashes and nothing happens. Is there anything I need to do to make it work?

I wiped data and now it says can't connect to server and I got the note 7 warning with version 2344

This seemed to work. But I haven't tried it yet at a store.

You do know there is a recall on the note 7 and samsung is shutting down everything for them.
I used mines a few weeks ago. but a few days ago. I got an update sayin that will be the last update and the note 7 is no longer going to be supported with samsung pay.

I used a updated 7 Edge apk and it works ?!

You have to also install the framework APK dig around I'm sure you'll find it then it will work fine

Here's the link for the Samsung Pay apk http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsun...ease/samsung-pay-2-5-02-android-apk-download/
Here's the link for the Samsung Pay Framework apk http://www.sammobile.com/apk/samsung-pay-framework/
Here's what Samsung Pay should look like after you update:
There's a newer version out (2.5.02) but I can't seem to find the apk anywhere, so until it shows up this version is the newest I could get. Also I had to disable Samsung Push and Samsung Galaxy Services or Apps (can't recall which it was in package disabler pro) in order for this to work. Hope this helps and good luck ??.
Newest version is out yay!

Shanda. I want to be sure I follow you. If I follow your steps I can use Samsung Pay on my Note 7 and connect to my Gear S3 Frontier? I'm wary of updating directly through Samsung Apps.
UPDATE: So, I did this and had an unexpected outcome! I downloaded the .apk with the highest number (2.7.46) and when installed was prompted to install a sim card from Korea!!! That version was uploaded in Dec while 2.6.0 was uploaded just today!!! Anyway, the version with the largest number obviously doesn't belong on this page as you'll be prompted for a Korean sim. Why it's there, I don't know. Other than that, everything went fine! I will try now setting up SP on my Gear S Frontier and let you guys know if that goes alright.
LATER: So this is what happened. I started setting up SP on my Gear S3 and got prompted to update the app on the phone!!! The first time I backed out, but the second time I tried again and was still prompted to update, I went ahead and tapped 'Update'. All that happened was that the SPay app on my phone went to the page showing the update status which was 2.6.0 since I had just side loaded it. It did not try to update again through Samsung's servers, whew!! I had to reenter my card then confirm with my bank to get two tokens activated, one for the phone and one for the watch. I'm now in business!!!
After all that it seems all Samsung does to disable SP on the Note 7 is to not allow it to work if you update directly through their servers. That was the little bit of info I needed clarification on since I've seen some people post that you need a 'compatible version' which really isn't true. You just must side load any future updates for it to work on the Note 7.

Yep, side loading newest apks works fine on my Note 7. Life can't without Sammy pay. So convenient.

Thanks for your reply!!! I'm wondering if it's possible to have SP enabled on both the watch and phone at the same time? I was using it on phone alone before. Now that I set it up on the watch, I see that my card has disappeared from my phone screen!! I had my phone out in a line today so just decided to pay from the phone and noticed it was no longer there.

Hi RaymondPJR,
Sorry I didn't see your post until just now. I'm glad you were able to get it working, if you have any other questions or need links to the apks I'm usually on https://note7alliance.com/, I hardly check XDA anymore ?.

Thanks, it's still not there although I have all three boxes enabled. I seem to remember selecting a setting to use the Gear S to keep my phone's screen unlocked. Maybe that setting is what's causing SP to no longer display on my phone. I think SP requires some authentication enabled on the phone to be able to use it.!

New version of Samsung Pay available. I thought I'd skip it, but it refuses to work anymore unless you update it. It's available in the link Shanda gave on the last page.
EDIT: Ignore above advice. I got fooled into loading the latest version, 2.8.30 which is a Korean version. Apkmirror doesn't distinguish between what countries the .apk's are for. However, someone pointed out to me that the SP .apk's for the US would be over 60 mb in size. The correct one is 2.7.03 for the US. They are too large to attach else I would.

And if you are dealing with SP on the Gear S. First update Samsung Pay on your phone. Then open Samsung Pay in Gear Manager app. It will then do it's thing, the two will match up, and you'll be good to go.

Anybody getting this? SP on my watch is working fine. On my phone I get this notification and using fingerprint as security unlock is greyed out.
EDIT: Damn, it's the wrong .apk!!!! Anybody got the one for this country?
EDIT: Ok, I found the right .apk through the app called 'Aptoide'. I have it installed but haven't set up my card yet. However, I don't get the 'use Korean Sim card' error.
EDIT: Giving up for now. Getting that error again, seems nothing works.
EDIT: Giving up must have been what it took. Got it installed finally! Just need to call the bank. My phone now reports that version 2.7.03 is the latest not 2.8.30:laugh: Latest SP framework version is 2.7.51 as I reported above.
