I will make sure to keep a close eye on this thread

Gotta rename thread to "Good Buy Kaiser"

Mine is on order already, expecting an arrival of mid to late August. £525 GBP. Gotta raise some money now...anyone want a faulty Kaiser??!!!

Why does everyone seem to announce they're departure with the Kaiser?
See, I would get a Touch Pro too, but :
525 Pounds = 1 045 USD.

NOT only the cost, but what major functionality differences are there ( other than the D3D )? Not many i know of. It is a bit sexier though...... ill wait a year after its release when the prices are reasonable, or hang onto my Tilt until ATT rolls out 4G.... since i see no major technological advantages at this point......

i love my tilt, but hey if att is getting the touch pro, then kaiser get out the way and touch pro here i come, by the way matmaneyre, ill take your faulty kaiser

Sorry, just checked back on this post. Sold my faulty kaiser on ebay for £195. Well impressed. That's gone towards my Touch Pro. Well pleased with it btw. Its excellent so far. Had it since August 15th.
Oh and announcing departure from the Kaiser is like saying good riddance to a huge disappointment from day one, what with video driver issues and all the other problems I had with mine.

Is the touch pro the one where they drop the WiFi feature?

The Touch Pro does have wifi.

I think the tilt came out around March 07? for at&t...I waited until Oct 07 to get it, price came down, early adopters worked out the kinks etc. I'll hang onto my tilt until the touch pro has been out a little while..and to let the price come down after the holidays. Looks like a great device, but I'm not in THAT much of a hurry

oh, does this mean no more hergila?

ATT S6 edge screen is scratched/swirled out of the box.

edit: Story of my process last night.
So I got my phone in the morning, and opened it up to find the screen was swirled and scratched and looked really bad in any light. Luckily my mom preordered the S6 (I have the S6 Edge) so I went over to her house to compare phones or to see if she had any scratches on hers. Her phone was absolutely perfect and was a good side by side of what my phone should have looked like. So I went into the AT&T store to activate and talk about getting a replacement or something.
I told AT&T about my concerns about the swirling and scratching and the worker that was helping me looked at it and then tried to justify it. He told me that it looked like a "geometric pattern" so clearly it wasn't from shipping and it was clearly from manufacturing. I think he was trying to comment on the concentric circling of the scratches, so I got what he was saying, but regardless of where the damage came from I felt like they should be responsible for it since they are the ones selling the phone.
Well, I asked what my options are. He told me that I couldn't activate the phone because then I wouldn't be able to return it to an AT&T store to get it replaced. He then told me that it was Samsungs problem and that I should contact their support to get it fixed, since it was a preorder he claimed the phone came straight from Samsung and not AT&T so they aren't responsible. A manager walked over to see how everything was going and when I mentioned my issues, he basically just told me that it sucked. He then walked away. On my way out I told another manager (I am assuming they were both managers. They had dress coats on that said Manager and had the AT&T logo on it.) The other manager said basically the same thing.... "Bummer." And that was it. I walked out with no options from AT&T.
I contacted Samsung and their support told me that I need to talk to AT&T about it since Samsung only manufactures the phones and AT&T sells them, so it's AT&Ts problem since they are the ones actually selling the device. So I got the official run around.
My only bet is to go back to AT&T on the 10th... which I'm supposed to be out of town, so I'm not sure what I'm going to do.
Going to try to contact AT&T today and see what they say.
Like T-Mobile people were complaining about, the screen is swirled straight out of the box. It looks really bad.
I can try and get pictures if people want. Just figured I'd get a thread started to see if anyone else has the problem.
Edit: Picture here. I'll take more tonight.

Some closeup pictures please. I was checking with someone else on other thread who received his AT&T device. No scratches on his. And maybe you should update the existing scratches thread.

I went to the att store and they basically said I have to talk to samsung about it.

It's the same exact swirl pattern that people on the T-Mobile forums are talking about. It looks like an old cars paint in the sun.

Sorry to see you have this problem. Both the phones that I've received, mine and my girlfriend's, seem to be scratch free. I tried to scrutinize with the brightest light I could find, the sun etc, but I couldn't see a blemish. The battery life is crap, but that's another story.
Hope you get this resolved.

I just want to use the phone. I was so excited to use it, but I can't activate it because then AT&T apparently won't let me exchange it...
I wouldn't mind the scratches if I was allowed to use the phone until a new, scratch free one got here... but whatever. Stuck with my S4 while everyone else gets to enjoy their new stuff.

In all honesty man, I'd try another ATT store. I think they are just trying to shirk responsibility. Or call them and have them overnight you one. It is their product, their responsibility.

Is anyone getting Edge's that aren't scratched?

My 128gb Black Sapphire Edge should be here tomorrow. Think I'll be taking it to my local AT&T next to my work to unbox it so there is no discrepancies incase the display is scratched.

I called ATT support and they are sending me a new one out.
Sucks because I got the phone on Monday, but I probably won't get to actually use one until the end of the week. Which is fine, just excited.
However, I am going to assume this new one getting sent out is going to be scratched too.
The 128GB models have been fine I think, mostly 32GB models are scratched. Which makes me feel dumb for buying the 32GB model now... Should have just gotten the bigger version.

I used to work in an AT&T store, basically replacing the phones in store is the managers discretion and they never want that on their audit because it somehow looks bad for them, or at least that is the impression our manager gave us. So our store handled those situations the same way, we just kind of keep passing off the blame and hope it will carry the customer out of the store (no longer our problem).
The only way to get something done through AT&T is to call into support as you did, sometimes support will even notate on the account that the store has to replace the device. This kind of forces the store to do so, because there is a trail and the regional manager would get pissed when they discover the store keeps passing off issues. We had a customer do that once and our manager still refused to replace it, so the customer kept calling into support until the regional manager was notified and took a look at the account and then they see notes for weeks that the customer has attempted going into a store for help and been fighting with the store manager.

How sure are you about this?
The reason I ask is that I hadn't really noticed many people posting which specific model they had that was scratched, but there could be some credibility to it, and a bit of shady dealings on Samsung's part if this is actually the case.
Should have my 128GB in a few hours here.

I've only seen maybe one person complain about 128GB version, everyone else with 128GB versions have been fine.
However, everyone with 32GB versions seem to be having the issue. It could be coincidence and have to do with popularity of the 32GB over the 128GB.

So exactly how'd this process go for you?
They gave me so much run around I've got half a mind to go to every AT&T store I can just to curse out random employees until I feel better.
The short of the line of crap they gave me is that the shipper (FedEx) is to blame and that a case will have to be opened with them before -anything- else occurs. This of course leaves me with no device until they and FedEx discuss whatever they need to in order to deal with this bullcrap.
What I'm going to do for now is see if I can wait until the local retail store gets their units in to just do an exchange. If that doesn't work, I don't know... maybe I'll be an ass and let my lawyer give them a call. Frankly I'm just that irritated at this point.

Auto screen rotation

Is anyone else experiencing issue with their screen not rotating to landscape? I don't know if it's me or if there's an issue with the phone itself. I noticed last night my screen wasn't rotating during video playback on Youtube or when surfing the internet.

My thread HERE dealing with people edge not working was a result of a bad accelerometer. Same issues: calendar and apps not rotating. I downloaded a clinometer app and would only see the accelerometer track about 14 degrees off center and then stop as I rotated the phone.
I returned the phone this morning for a new one and all's well. 64 GB Whites are starting to sell out though. I had to drive to a BB about 30 minutes away to get a replacement.

I did the same and found out mine is doing the same thing.
Yeah, I went to Verizon yesterday and they were going to replace it and they didn't have any 64GB white edges. No one within 150 miles does. I have fourteen days to get a new one either by waiting for it to come to the store. I called VZW and they can't do it over the phone and guarantee me a new phone.
So, I will wait for a new one.

Got my replacement and everything is good to go...
You can close this thread.

I'm having the rotation issue too. I've read other places that is a software issue. Gunna have to get a replacement tomorrow.

Well after doing the run arounds with Verizon they're finally sending me a new phone. I called the local stores and there's not a single one within 60 miles that has the white 64GB Edge in stock. I was very hesitant doing it over the phone, but they said they didn't have any certified like new devices yet so that I would most likely get a new device. I did tell them though that I would send it right back if it wasn't a brand new device. Its a shame there's not a simple fix for this issue.

I was in the same boat. No white 64GB edge within 200 miles. I went through the same thing on the phone with Verizon. I had to explain to the CSR on the phone that it is not a warranty claim nor an insurance claim. It is an exchange and there is absolutely no reason for not getting a brand new phone.... But they wanted me to send the phone to them first and then they would send me a brand new one after receiving the bad one. Good you are getting a new one. I actually went a got a black one from the store. I had, had enough of Verizon and just wanted a properly functioning phone.

Ya, if it's not new I'll just swap it out at the store for a regular S6. At this point I'm just hoping they keep their word and it's a new device. I'm not a very patient person and with as much time as I've already put in with Verizon, it's not worth it to keep swapping phones.
How's your replacement working so far?

Gave droid-life some info on the issue and they did a write up. Hopefully it'll get some more attention and we'll get a definite answer on the cause from Samsung soon.

I'm not patient either... Especially when it comes to stuff like this. You should call Verizon after you get your phone and see if they can credit your account for all the hassle. They credited me $40.

Nice! If the same issue pops up on the new phone I'll definitely be doing that.

So far so good. I'm doing a fast charge to see if that makes it kick the bucket, then I'll add my apps again. If it goes bonkers in a few days, I'll move on to the S6. Anyways, what I wanted to post is some disappointing news (for me). It'll be hard to tell unless anyone else has this issue and can download the "Phone Info Samsung" app. My original phone that had the issue was made on 3-29-15 in China. The phone they replaced it with was also made on 3-29-15 in China. If its hardware related, surely I'm screwed.

Got my edge on launch day and was fine for one day, then wouldn't rotate. So, I replaced it. Agaij, for one day it was fine and then started to not rotate again. I wasn't going to replace it every time this happened, so I waited it out and as of yesterday, the rotation is working fine, like it just fixed itself.

the phone i have that is not working was made on 2015.04.02 (not sure if February or April) and also made in China. I will check when i get the new phone to find out.

I'm having the same problem. I honestly didn't even realize it until I started seeing people with the issue... Now it bothers the hell out of me. I'm going to try to get a new one from a store after work today.
Although I find it hard to believe it's a hardware issue when this many devices are seeing it. Working right out of the box and then all of a sudden it stops is pretty indicative of software in my eyes... At least that's what I'm hoping for.

So is note 7 Rom developing coming to am end?

Just wanted to see if devs are still going to be developing for this device with all the issues that are STILL happening apparently. It's such a shame because I absolutely love this phone. TEKs and OVERDRIVE roms looked real promising. I would just to keep a phone for 2 years if of developing is going to die off.

well considering a 2nd recall by samsung will most likely happen within the next few days according to t-mo. i would say the development for the n7 is done period. i got a feeling the n7 won't be back on the market after this either. samsung will probably scrap em all and move on to the s8 or even the note8 which will most likely need to be renamed as this whole thing has literally damaged the notes name.

The Note4 is my daily driver again, took back my replacement Note 7 yesterday.
It's basically got all the functionality where it really matters, the S-Pen.
The other features that were heavily marketed were of no consequence to me.
I definitely notice the difference between the two as for overall performance, but, it's not an awful experience by any stretch.
Throw your ROM of choice on the Note4 & ya got yourself a very comparable experience.

My phone before this was actually a note 4 and the only reason I went to a note 7 was because my phone was stolen. I was running abstrak rom (now discontinued). I'm probably going to see what mm roms they have for it now. Since I have to purchase another note 4, it will probably be on mm and I dont even know if it's rootable. My old note 3 and 4 were excellent phones, it just pisses me off that Samsung stops updates for older phones basically forcing you to upgrade phones. That being said, I'm sure the note 4 will never get a future update.

And, lights out.......

You guys believe a Note 7 V3 will ship with rootable firmware?
I seriously doubt it, we caught a lucky break on this one & some on V2 were left out in the cold w/a phone dead for development.
It's a nice phone without root, Package Disabler apps help a lot,along with a decent Ad Blocker, but, not enough for Round 3 on the exact same phone.
I'll check in on the next iteration,the Note 8,or whatever they'll call it.....

Shame on Google and Verizon lol, that's some outdated way of business even Apple does not do it any more.

When Samsung has a major fiasco they recall all the product gather all the staff in the court house and destroy the product in front of them and the manager of that department is then banned from the company for life. Korean custom. Not only did the guy lose his job he disgraced his Family for generation to come. Going back to Note 7 the product is being discontinued it was announced in German newspapers today

GREAT!! *sarcasm*
My Note 5 was messing up and I got the 7 for the upgrade.
I'll have to debate this, as mine was one of the ones that wasn't a replacement or recalled. But with no rooting ability, or way to drop back a version to gain root...might have to go back to the Note 5.

I never even attempted to try the software update. I didn't like the stupid green battery icons or grouped notifications. I still have my v2 on original release firmware with updates blocked. I like the phone uprooted but I do not like the current software for it. It's a shame because I love phone otherwise, but without future root to make those small tweaks on the v3, I think I'll wait until I find something I really like. I've always been a Samsung guy that being said I'm not a real Fan of pure Google type phones. For some reason I really like touchwiz (ya I know).

Where to buy the official Envizion 360 camera

Hi. I asked Wonda mobile. They didn't have it but followed up and obtained one fo me. It was about $125.
It was shipped together with Mate 10. I should get it in about 5 days. Will let you know how it turns out.

Ah I could have asked them to send it with my phone when I ordered from them.

I'm still not completely convinced Wonda is sending me the official Envizion 360 Camera. Although the image of it they sent me looks a lot like it. However the associated box did not have the word Envizion
on it. Everything else looks like Huawei's ad for it. Maybe the model is indicated elsewhere on the box where I couldn't see. I'm inquiring about it. Hopefully everything works out!

I received phone and camera. The delivered camera is called the Huawei 360 Panoramic VR Camera. Model CV60. I looked it up on internet and the specs seem nearly the same as the Envizion 360 except that, from what I read, the Envizion is 30g and the CV60 model is 50g. Maybe that info was not correct or different materials used or they are truly different devices. All else, as far as I can tell, was the same including resolution and performance. Maybe the word Envizion was used when applying for patent in US. Also, I just tried it and it seems to work as shown in a youtube video about the Envizion.
So it seems like it is the same or equivalent. Regardless, I'm fine with this. If anyone knows more please feel free to chime in!
PS. I haven't had a chance to play with the Mate 10, but, one thing for sure, the camera does a nicer job than Mate 9 in lower light. Also like running navigation from fps. A nice touch! (no pun intended...)

So Wonda Mobile sell the camera as an optional add on when you buy a Mate 10 but they also sell it separately if you ask them. £109 plus DHL shipping.
Anywhere in Europe that also sells it?

I pre-ordered mine and received that camera as a bundle package. Currently trying to sell that locally as it's no use to me, my recording skills are so poor that I rarely record anything. As I 've seem some Polish re-sellers have that camera in offer.

I bought mine here, yesterday

Perfect thank you

Its really a nice attachment. Have enjoyed using it.

I just purchased mine from eBay, am looking forward to taking some 360° snaps...

Sorry for the hijack. This is driving me nuts though.
I received the Huawei 360 VR camera as part of a bundle with the Mate 10 today (Vodafone Australia).
I cannot get it to work though, and I'm not sure if it is the camera, or the fact that the rom upgraded once I hit wifi.
When plugged in, the camera light comes on for a few seconds. Nothing shows up in the camera app though.
ALP-L09 Phone running rom v8.0.0.128 (C346).
Anyone else having this issue?

I got mine from Trendy phone. They sent me a second hand one and I paid full price. Really annoyed. Buyer beware.
