are you leaving the Note 7? if so, where are you going?

[justin1578]

Does the s7 actuve have wifi calling? I asked an at&t rep yesterday and they seemed confused. It is on the list to have wifi calling but I don't want to switch to that Phone if it doesn't have it. I need it for my job because I get no signal.

Yes, all of the s7 line has Wi-Fi calling.

DISCLAIMER: I am not a LG fangirl or a Samsung hater, just made an interesting point so please don't attack me. Thanks

So, most of you are gonna stick with Samsung and Note 7. Good for you. I just find it interesting that when LG has the unfortunate bootloop issue with the G4, majority of the G4 owners have said "I'm done with LG, never again will I buy their phones!!!!"

Samsung has chance of exploding batteries and Note 7 owners are like " that's okey. I'll get a new Note 7."

Reality is that hardware faults happen to every manufacturer. But it seems that some manufacturers are forgiven and some are not. Why is that? is it brand loyalty etc? Or how the manufacturer handles the situation etc? This intrigues me....

I give second chances. I'm coming from the LGG4 which I gave 4 chances. After being bitten 4 times LG lost me. Two had touch issues and two just died. I had to hard reset every month to get rid of lag and stutter. So I can give the Note another chance. My Note is in fact performing great.

You really think there is a remote possibility they do that? That would be devastating to the Note lineup and Samsung's image. Can you imagine all the case makers also if that happened and all the cases they have made so far? They would be p*SSED and lose a lot of money too. If that happened, I probably would look into a V20 and take a chance and roll the dice and hope it's not a flop or has issues like the G5 did. Maybe Iphone 7plus, but being away from Iphone for 7 years would be hard to relearn it.

I'm 90 percent sure I will simply wait a few weeks and get another Note. knowing my luck though it would have a different issue and I'd have to go through hoops to get a replacement. There is a slight chance I'd go for V20 if Samsung or the carriers jack around though with the replacement times and such.

No I think there's zero possibility of that happening, I was just making a point.

I was from G4, i did not leave LG because of the bootloop issue, but the G5 is not what I wanted. Moreover, G4 itself isn't that great in terms of performance.

Note 7 however is a great phone once the issues are solved.

I had the boot loop issue on G4. The difference is that I was left to my own to figure out it was a product defect. I had to call my carrier and then LG. I had to then call the authorized repair centre and mange the whole process. The difference? LG never officially said anything about a KNOWN defect.

Samsung, however is saying there is a problem. Send it back we'll do our best to rectify the issue. Done. I think the situation is much different.

Will they notice if I happen to trade in my device with a "lost" spen?

 

[Tarah Sorber]

I returned my note today very sad. Went back to my droid Maxx 2. Hate it lol. I'm wondering if the s7 active would be a good choice.

 

[crystinonfire]

Left for a S7 Edge. I was trying to hold out for when the Note 7s come in, but the thought of using my Note 2 for two to four weeks (T-Mobile's timeframe for replacements) was just too much. I thought I'd just use this S7E until the N7s come in, but it turns out that I think I actually like this phone more.

I've never had a non-Note android, so I'm shocked that I like this phone. I loved my Note 2 and Note 5. Didn't think I could deal without a huge screen and an s-pen. But I discovered that you can download S-Note from the Galaxy app store and get a stylus (or use your fingertip) to write notes. The S7E actually fits better in my hand for one-handed use, and the screen is big enough that I can still watch videos without being annoyed. I'm sure this next comment will cause some debate, but it seems to run a lot smoother as well, IMO.

The only thing I really miss is the 64GB internal storage, but I'm getting the 256GB free gift, so it doesn't really matter.

Maybe I'll switch back when the Note 8 comes out.

 

[crystinonfire]

I'm on the fence, I'm gonna sleep on it for a week. I wanted the Note 7....this may be my opportunity to try out all three colors though. Started out with coral blue, on the black.. Silver here I come!

The silver is really pretty in certain lighting and rainbow trout like

Re: Anyone else downgrading to the S7 Edge?

I'm just wondering is anyone considering trading down to the S7 Edge due to the issues with the Note 7 and now that there is an stigma attached to it?

Is the S7 Edge a big downgrade? I thought about it briefly but would it be better to wait a couple weeks and get a brand new Note 7 than downgrading to the Edge? I know edge doesn't have the Spen and has the smaller screen though and the always on doesn't have the notifications.

However next March or April the S8 will be out and I will be stuck with a dated phone sooner.

It has all the same specs and a better battery life, so I don't really think it's a downgrade except for:
-no pen
-less internal storage
-slightly smaller screen

But isn't the Edge a bit dated now?

I mean if you're exchanging for an Edge wouldn't you just be better to hold out a couple weeks and get a new Note??

 

[spasell]

I still have my Note 3 - my first Note phone - and I loved it so much that I'll never go back to another phone unless forced. I use it still, wifi only, in my bedroom at night in case I want to do things there. It's still fast and solid and looks brand new. Great line of phones.

Let me ask something.

I have my Note 3 and haven't used it in over 2 years. If I do decide to use it but don't have service on it, just wifi, can I update it to Marshmallow?

After 4 Actives (unfortunately using my 4th to type this) I would not recommend the Active. Too many issues thus far for most of us that bought one.

I had the silver S7E, I loved it.

 

[crystinonfire]

What phone is there to go to?

I am staying with the Note 7. Samsung is doing the honorable thing with the recall & T mobile will leet me wait till they get the new stock in... then I will swap.

My work stuff is in KNOX and is easily backed up & personal stuff is pretty easy too.

Seriously, what other device is out there that is comparable?

Stylus
Water resistance
Wireless charging
Memory expansion
Speed
Screen vibrancy
Camera performance

Nothing else is even close.

S7E has all of that except the stylus

Yes, the S7E is closer to the end of it's life-cycle/relevancy, but I honestly like it better than the N7 that I had, minus the lack of a stylus. I was coming from lollipop, so it doesn't feel dated to me. And I actually like the more pronounced curve...makes it easier to use the edge panel, and the screen protector doesn't peel up as much.

Even as I type this, I can't believe that I'm choosing something other than a Note.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Overall I'm happy with my Note 7 so wouldn't I be better waiting a couple more weeks?

Just find a small pen and put it in, they'd be none the wiser.

Unfortunately, you can only update it to Lolipop, unless you root your phone.
