Verizon Will NOT Comply!! Rock your Note 7

Status
Not open for further replies.
Verizon has decided to allow Note 7 owners to be able to use their devices through the holiday season... but on January 5th, the kill switch will be thrown and the Samsung OTA goes out.

I won't tell you what to do, but I bought a good Note 4 cheap and I'll rock with it until the Note 8 comes out ;)

Uh, I though you used to have a very good Note 4 Chief.... :)

But again, if you thwart the Samsung OTA update killware, your Note 7 won't become inert, and at that point you can continue using it like normal, indefinitely - because Verizon has stated they won't be cutting anyone's services at all, for their part.

That there are still ignorant people like you, spouting that nonsense, is a testament to the abysmal level of herd ignorance our general population has fallen down to, these last several decades.
They're just trying to get your goat, John! Pretty small when you think about it! Nobody wants to admit that we are right, not one more incident of an overheating phone! The recall has no power to force compliance on consumers nor are there any penalties for not doing so! Best of all there is no expiration to this recall although I think Samsung will try to impose one! When and if that happens it's time to file with the FCC! People have gotten some amazing concessions from both Samsung and the carriers! What dog these guys think they have in this fight I can't imagine. Must be control issues!

And done.

Some people still want to use their Note 7s and that's ok.

Some think they should all be returned, that's ok too.

Either way, Verizon will be pushing the update, just after the festive period so I think this thread has run its course.

Any issues with the lock, please hit me up via PM. :)
