    Note 7 installed a bunch of bloatware by itself?

    I believe those particular apps were installed by Samsung as a "gift" for buying the Note 7. They did the same thing with my Note 5. I simply uninstalled them and I have not seen them re-installed. I didn't block any programs including DT Ignite. My experience is that after several reboots over...

    Samsung Galaxy Note7 -- Verizon Users

    I used it also, but I found that the S Pen nib didn't glide over it very easily. And since it doesn't go from edge to edge the S Pen nib catches on the edge of the plastic film on both sides when moving an icon for example. But it is still more protection than nothing.

    Unfortunately, I just had one corner come loose. My rating will be changed to reflect this. I apologize for an early optimism that has been crushed. :-\

    Samsung 30% coupon

    Free shipping for orders over $50.00 only. At least that is the information that was on my purchase screen.

    Disable screen wake when receiving notification

    If you use the Always On Screen option they when you get a notification you get the sound/vibration per your setup and a small icon to indicate what program sent the notification. Otherwise the screen doesn't change.

    Brightness Slider

    No you don't have to swipe twice. You swipe once with 2 fingers to get the whole settings drop down menu. You swipe once with one finger to get only the top portion of the settings drop down menu.

    Missing wireless charging option

    In order for fast wireless charging to work you must have both a Qualcomm fast charge pad and a fast charge wall plug-in module such as the one that comes with the Note 7. In addition, the center back of the phone must be over the wireless antenna in the charge pad.

    Brightness Slider

    Its still there. Use two fingers to draw down the settings menu which brings down the whole menu and the slider is on the bottom as usual.

    Samsung Galaxy Note7 -- Verizon Users

    The curved sides and curved corners on both the front and back of mine are even tighter today than yesterday when I installed them. But I will say that after holding the sides down with my palm for several 10 minutes sessions on each section I then did a couple of 10 minute sessions on the...

    Samsung Galaxy Note7 -- Verizon Users

    I added an IQShield clear HD film front and back. This material really is a joy to use the S Pen on and I get to see my gorgeous phone. This is a wet install so if you choose to do as I did, carefully watch the official S7 installation video on You Tube and then be very patient exactly as...

    Samsung Galaxy Note7 -- Verizon Users

    I particularly love the design and the "holdability" (this is a word -- right? :p ). I really like how it functions, and it seems to run well and battery life is fine. However, I can't get the OOKLA speedtest to work properly on my Verizon Note 7. I am only getting about 1/6 the speed reported...

    Samsung Pay not what I imagined.

    Actually, it is Samsung who purchased the company had the patents and the hardware to allow for use with magnetic strip terminals. You don't have to choose which method within the app to use with Samsung Pay as both NFC and magnetic strip methods are activated by opening the app. If you want to...
