Not sure if this is the right place but I have a Verizon Moto Z Force and it seems Verizon is randomly installing games/apps to the phone. Google said to disable "DT Ignite" but I don't appear to have that. Any ideas?

bull3964 posted:Retail availability is supposed to be the 20th. So, 26-28 arrival date makes sense if they ship out on the 20th. Probably arrival date, with ground shipping. Hopefully they'll ship from the same point as the chromecasts do, I got mine next day even with standard shipping.

I get the feeling they just updated the firmware for a green battery icon and didn't do anything to actually mitigate the fires.

Samsung are going to be fine. No one cared when updates stopped iPhones from making phone calls. People will always buy what they like. The Note 8 Unexploding Edition will sell just fine. That's just the way these things work.

Hoverboards were a fad toy that weren't going to last longer than six months even without the fires. I wouldn't be surprised if Samsung decides to rebrand the Note line at this point, though. sethsez fucked around with this message at 06:38 on Oct 10, 2016 |

Samsung Press Release: "We're really sorry about all those Note 7's catching on fire and burning people, to show how much we care about safety and our customers we have removed that product from our lineup. We will also be lowering the price of our S7 and S7 Edge products(which don't catch on fire btw) for a limited time by $100! We here at Samsung really care about our customers!" Pretty sure everyone will forget about the Note 7 fires in about 2 seconds if they did this. One thing consumers seem to care about more than anything else is saving a few bucks.

It's most likely not, as people have pointed out. Other phones have the same values set and aren't exploding. Also, you'd hope that some bad kernel code couldn't override hardware interlocks, but then again...

Samsung is fine, people will forget about the exploding Note 7 by the time the Note 8 rolls around. No one outside of internet forums gives a poo poo. If this were the iPhone though, that would be a totally different story, there would be congressional hearings that Tim Cook would have to attend and everything.

Late night shows have made jokes about it. Every person who has taken a flight in the U.S. in the last whatever (few weeks? month?) has heard an announcement that for safety you cannot use a Samsung Note 7.

Most people have no idea about which phone explodes. I mentioned it to several friends and they just go what? If you read this thread you aren't the average/majority user. I powered down my Note. Verizon actually doesn't have anything official about returning it so I'm back to using the beast aka Nexus 6

I predict with 70% confidence that Samsung phone sales take a dip for a phone generation or two before going back to their "natural" sales rate. Consumers in general don't care, have a short memory, and/or figure that the next generation will be fine.

My dad has been a Note user since the Note 2. I've sent him every article posted here to dissuade him from his annual upgrade to the Note 7, including the ones showing that even the replacement "safe" ones are still having the same issue. He just responds with, "Okay I'll just wait until they fix it then". D'oh.

I'm mostly interested in seeing how the remainder of this pans out. Samsung halted production for now, but what happens when they resume? Carriers already stopped giving out Note 7 devices on exchange. I don't know that any amount of "No, really, we fixed it this time" from Samsung is going to get them to start selling this model again. The best thing Samsung can do right now is kill this model, have an independent 3rd party verify what they find as the cause, and have them be transparent about what they are doing on the next generation to prevent it from ever happening again. The Note 7 though, is done. Nothing they can do can redeem the model, it's time to cut losses and move on.

So with the Pixel turning out to not be the phone of everyone's dreams and Samsung royally botching things with the Note 7, what's everyone's opinion on Sony's new Xperia XZ? I'm not too knowledgeable on how far a Snapdragon 820 and 3GB of RAM gets you, but the phone has an SD card slot, IP68 rating, and a really great camera. With my Z3C I've found Sony to be pretty hands off with their skins and apps, though they are slow in rolling out Android updates. Granted this all comes in at $700, but I think you can do a lot worse.

The biggest issue with Sony is that everything but their gaming division is teetering on insolvency so you really don't know the future of that device after each quarterly earnings call.
