Have owned a S7 for about 14 months now. Recently the battery life has seemed noticeably shorter so I installed Accubattery and let it do it's thing taking statistics. Slightly shocked to learn that my still shiny and expensive phone's battery life has dropped from it's original capacity of...

Believe it or not, Samsung actually recommends 50 - 90% charging, and to not leave it on the charger (see Samsung article below). I started looking into this because my S7's battery capacity has dropped from it's original capacity of 3000 mAh to 2300 mAh after 14 months of use. I was of the...

My sentiments exactly. Going to return mine today, switch back to my HTC M8 for a couple months, and then re-assess the situation. If Note 7 is safe and can be used on aircraft, then I'll be back. That is, if ANY phones are allowed to be powered-on in aircraft two months down the road...

This just might be the last straw for me... It's such a shame, I love this phone. But I travel for work extensively both domestic and international. Am going to watch the situation closely and if this really is a replacement phone that fried then I'm going to demand a refund from Verizon. It's...

Man, I WISH we got it off the data. The data is specifically excluded.

Good observation and normally you would be correct, but in my case I get a 22% discount off of the line fee because my employer signed up for Verizon's corporate discount program and that benefit flows down to all employees. So I get 22% off the $40 each month * 24 months = an additional $211...

Ordered mine midday on Aug 3. Blue coral on Verizon. Jumping from an HTC One M8. As of this morning VZ order status is "processing" just like everyone else fwiw. Hate to admit it but I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas :-p I'm grandfathered in to the old 2-year upgrade subsidized plan, so...
