I'm still using the factory screen protector, also; daily prayers there's not a bad drop. Zagg's hybrid Glass Fusion+ is now available and in stock, so hopefully we'll start to see more of those reviewed in the coming days. C'mon Zagg... slide in there for the win!!

Thanks again for the follow up and feedback!

Glad to hear it is better... better enough to keep the glass on and not lift? What makes the install process better? And lastly, are you able to use a case, and if so, what kind? I really appreciate you taking the time to follow up on this. :)

Thanls for the suggestions. I have used WiFi calling for some things, but for my home location, it's not enough. WiFi calling is good for some things, obviously, but may or may not work right with emergency services; that's not a chance I'm willing to take. I didn't have to pay for the microcell...

The cellular and GPS radios are certainly improved in the N7, but Samsung has always had weaker radios than most mfgs, and it is mindbogglingly frustrating. The gap in my N7 vs iPhone is less than ever, but there is still a gap. Where I live Verizon has the best network for coverage, without a...

Thanks for all the answers good info!

For most updates on most phones Verizon is typically last, T-mobile typically first. So yes, at some point, they will likely release the update with their own tweaks. ETA clarification - referencing Android phones only (not Apple).

Thanks Rushmore, was hoping the battery expert would chime in. So the techs that advise not to let it go below 40% are saying that based only on the longevity of and repeated heat produced with a longer charge? That's been my understanding, but if that is wrong please correct me. I know that is...

And it largely depends on your charging and usage habits. (ETA: As in how often it's charged and total battery hours.) My Note 4's battery wasn't failing, but it sure wasn't the same usage I was getting in the beginning. Then after I retired it for the (first Note 7 and had to pull it back...

This is mostly true for people that upgrade at least every 2 years. Beyond that, there is significant decline.

I've even seen it said not to let it go below 40%, and that letting it go to 20% is bad for battery life. All in whose professional/technical opinion is accepted and/or promoted.

AT&T has the display options, but not the notification count on the bar. The carrier updating timelines are just about the same for each phone released. This is not new. I suspect they will all eventually have most, if not all, of those options.

It's wayyy easier than that. Settings > Sounds > Notification Sounds You'll need to do the below in each of the 4 options - Default, Messages, Calendar, and Email. Leave them on but choose 'Silent' as the sound. That should do it! :)
