I tried re-starting the phone and worked fine for a few minutes, now it's back to that annoying double beep, search/keyboard etc.

Help! Can someone try waking up "Ok Google" from the home screen? I'm getting 2 overlapping beeps and then google search screen with keyboard automatically pops up, as if prompting me to type in a search or press the mic button for voice commands. Anyone else had this issue and know how to fix...

After I surrendered my Note 7 due to recall, I went for Note 5 (brand new 64GB) from T-mobile with the plan to upgrade to the next Note the following year. Now I have my Note 8!

Did a quick comparison using a dSLR and Note 8 :) Left: Nikon D810/70-200VR2 at 200mm f/2.8 Right: Note 8 x2 live focus.

Nice, thanks for the info. I am now able to create action memos also have them save directly to Evernote my note taking app of choice. Any one know how to re-direct off screen memos to be saved directly to S Note (which has option to save to Evernote). I know my Note 5 off screen memo are saved...

Ok, the fix was short lived. My Note 5 will not wirelessly fast charge! It still pauses! I have a Spigen CF backed case that is low profile and it used to be able to fast charge without any issues. Now it pauses 5 seconds after I put it on the fast wireless dock. Is there something going on with...

Thank you! About to lose it until I googled a fix and found this post! I have 3 fast wireless chargers (2 at home and 1 at work) and all of them kept pausing with my Note 5 after 10 seconds I put them on the wireless chargers. It worked if I remove the case but this is not a viable work around...

This is the first time I pre-ordered something. I'm usually the wait and see type of guy, but having the S7 Edge and seeing how great the phone was, I was eagerly waiting for the Note version of it. Also, since I really liked the sPen experience with my older Note Edge phone the announcement of...

Re: What would you replace your Note 7 with? I'm back to S7 Edge so I could still use my fast wireless chargers around the house and at work. Plus I still have my old S7Edge spigen cases lying around. What sucks for me was I did the T-Mobile jump and even paid early to upgrade to the Note 7. I...

Re: Mourning thread ,N7 , what was your fondest memory ? 1) Note 7 sPen + swiftkey + Evernote = paperless home office and work environment. I can attend meetings, take down notes with the sPen. The sPen looks professional too as your client sees you as taking notes not texting on your phone...

Re: Official Samsung statement regarding the Galaxy Note 7 I would consider a discounted Note 5 for my troubles. It would be a good compromise for me as I wait for the next Note iteration.

Re: Time to switch I'm in the same boat :( I had Note 4 Edge which introduced to me the benefits and use of sPen but the battery and freezing got me to give it up but didn't want Note 5 so I exchanged it for an S7 Edge. S7 Edge turned out good for me and couldn't wait for the next Note. It...

My first Note 7 didn't have screen protector. I put it in my pocket without issues. But when it went into my wife's bag one time, it got scratches in 4 different areas. It sucked because it scratched easily but my wife's S7Edge in the same bag didn't have any scratches. Now with my new...

Please God no. I've waited for the Note 7 since the S7Edge came out. I thought to myself since my S7Edge performed so well that I'd definitely get the new Note. (Had Note Edge and got S7Edge temporarily while waiting for the next Note phone). I even paid extra on my Jump just to get the Note...

I wish I did! There were scratches in 4 different areas. Really light ones but one was a little deep that really bugged me. I got worried and sent the unit back before the 14 day return period. Had I known about the recall announced 2 days after I mailed it I would have held on the Note 7 until...
