I heard LGv20s are good.
You heard correct...:ohhh:

I stopped by the store this morning and played with the demo LGV20...That jawn is butter smooth...Same size as the Note7, expandable memory and according to the AT&T employee it has a better camera...

Bad news is they hit me with we will refund your Note7 and you have to pay the remaining difference for the LG...:francis:

Have to talk to my rep see if she can wave that and let me have the LG for $350...This exploding shyt aint my fault so I dont see why they cant give me the same deal...if she can do me the solid again I'm sold on exchanging for the LG...

There's just no good solution here. The Note 5 is trash to me with no expandable storage or water resistance.

The S7 is smaller and lacks the features and I don't like the color options.

The S7 Edge has too much of a curve on the display. I didn't like the curve but the Note7 had a minor one.

Neither of the S7s have the latest Grace UX on them either and Samsung is so slow with the updates they probably won't see it till the S8 is almost out.

I'm not buying any Android phone that doesn't have Samsung Pay either. This whole situation is sad. How couldn't these fools fix this? How did they end up with replacement phones that were basically the same as the original? So incompetent.

I feel you... I'm basically stuck as well.

The closest comparable phones are

  • Samsung Note 5 (which Sprint no longer sales)

  • LG Stylo 2 Plus(I hate LG phones because of the power button on the back of the phone.... shyt is unresponsive and irritating as fukk)and because the camera is shyt compared to Samsung

In addition:

  • I swore off HTC phones after my experience with the EVO phone. I refuse to buy one. IMO, they are only slightly better than LG.

  • I refuse to buy an IPhone because I refuse to let Apple nickel and dime me to death. I'm sorry, but I like FREE!

So if Sprint doesn't let me out, I'll be stuck with a phone I don't want. New S8 drops next year.... too long of a wait and I'm not sure I'll be fukking with Samsung for the foreseeable future either.

:lupe: do you think they will go on sale brehs

No Doubt, bet they'll be cheaper than a Blu phone before christmas. You'd have to be a fool to risk carrying that time-bomb. All those specific accessory manufacturers are kinda fukked. screen protector, cases, sim tray, digitizer's and lcd's and batteries.:francis: They better hope samsung keeps the same external design for a future model phone to recoup their investment at a later date but thats a pipe dream. :heh: People will eventually :whoa: at the sight of a phone resembling the note 7, theres nothing salvageable about that phone. Rep is :trash:. Had a customer ask me to unlock a note 7 from sprint, 3 days ago. The phone was dead and I would have to charge it and handle it :lupe:,:camby:.wasn't worth my well-being:yeshrug:, I referred him to my competitor two doors down.:lolbron:.

So is it confirmed that it's the battery that is the problem? I haven't even read about the note 7. Is the battery sealed inside? If it's just the battery, I would grab one and then see about replacing it with a 3rd party alternative once they are released.

Taking the og battery out as soon as it arrives though :whoa:

I can't tolerate anything less than elite...Mar 2016 for the s8 is too long. Way too fukkING long.

This is the GOAT phone.
This right here. The Note 7 is best phone out hands down... Iphone included. My phone don't even get a little warm when charging... It's gonna be real annoying if it turn out that this is all about people trying to get settlement money. :martin:

From the looks of it, it could be the design of the phone itself or even the software. They blamed the battery the first time and the replacements with different batteries are still blowing up.

You can't even buy it on swappa and I'm assuming eBay will ban it soon.

Nevermind :huhldup:

The replacements that started exploding have the "good" batteries...

Sounds like it's a design build problem...My guess is the phone build is too tight and the battery has no room to breathe so when heat internally reaches a certain threshold the battery ruptures and ignites...
