OWNERS: What do you NOT LIKE about your Galaxy Note 7?

[Paul Paradis]

All that style of case are made with the same lip that comes up, and covers the edge screen. The lady with the UAG was in front of me getting her refund from her zagg.

Being that this is my first Note7, and my first Android, I dont like that they didn't give you more notification options for things like the edge notifications and lights, LED options for different accounts, and so far I can't seem to be able to add/use my own custom sounds for notifications. You would think that a device and OS that allows you to do so much, would have already had these options out of the box, and not force you to use questionable 3rd party apps for it.

I'm unsure how I feel about this phone.

I like it a lot but other times I feel meh about it...

Things I don't like:

-Fragility gate. I haven't experienced this myself (thankfully) but hearing stories about people's phones breaking from slight things like being in a cup holder makes me nervous.

-Occasionally lag. But to me I've experienced this in every Android phone I've owned since the G1 so my guess is that it will always be there.

-Lack of updates. This phone will probably not see nougat for a long time. I knew that when I bought it but it still a paint point.But this will always be a sore spot with any android flagship until samsung and other OEMs get the balls to muscle the carriers into allowing them to handle their updates like Apple did.
I'm also wondering if samsung will continue to get security updates of reasonably fast like they have been.

-Bloatware. See last point.

This phone is great. Don't let me persuade you one way or another. I like the Note 7 a lot but to me the note line no longer has that little extra that used to make it so special to me.

Don't know if its it's been mentioned but the gallery app. Coming from a Note 4 I'm not use to the set up of the 7.

These speakers suck!

My note 7 speakers are very loud.
Have you gone in and turned the setting up ?

I feel like this phone was a Snapdragon 821, 6GB of RAM, 4000 mah battery away from quieting everyone. If I'm Samsung, though, this is the exact phone I release because even without all that, it's beyond excellent. The S8/S8 Edge? Going to be tough to beat that combination next year.

I think there still would have been complaints at the same rate, but different dynamics

Yours has more than one??

The speaker sucks. I hate most of the bloatware can be disabled, and not uninstalled.

I will say that with the Note 7 I have come to dislike Tapatalk. It seems as though when I write out a post using my s-pen it looks like this.

 

[WeAreAllUnique]

But when I tap it out on the keyboard it looks like this.

I do not like all the hate. Why do haters gotta hate? Taylor is such a wise woman!

I agree on all counts so far. Didn't have the same reaction when I got my N4. Liked it immediately and was never on the fence about it. The biggest things I don't like are the glass back, the contacts setup (kinda sucky compared to previous versions), and the white on screens everywhere - thought by now they'd at least have the option to make it a night color, too.

They do. Its called themes. You can change all of that by downloading (many are free) and applying something lithe the Dark Material theme.

Thanks. I'll go look. I'm talking Sammy, and natively on phone. No app needed.

Says phone not eligible.

 

[toenail_flicker]

Found others and they need root. Need to wait for that.

Says phone not eligible.

It's not an app, it is part of the OS -- so native to use your words. There are simply so many choices, having them come pre-loaded would be a mistake.

I am not sure what not eligible means or why you would get that message. Long press on the home screen then select Wallpapers & themes. On the new page that comes up, you can select from Wallpapers, Themes and Icons. Slide over to themes and there are a seemingly unlimited number to choose from, paid and free.

Not sure where you are, or what service you are on that would make this unavailable.
