Verizon Note 7:
I have been a pretty good supporter of the Note 7 so far and not had the issues some folks have posted, but one thing I do notice is weak signal reception. Calls are not an issue, but data reception is significantly weaker than my MXPE, Razr Maxx and even less than the Note 4 (not a device known for stellar signal).
My son has my MXPE and is able to play Netflix and Youtube (as example) with LTE everywhere in our home and vicinity, but there are areas where the Note 7 stops to cache or simply does not work with data. My wife's Razr Maxx also has no issues. I've also owned the S4 prioir to the Note 4 and it did not have issues like this. Put the sim with nano adapter into my Note 4 and no signal issues either.
Kind of stunned how weak the signal seems to be and a friend at work has the same issues coming from an LG4. If signal is an issue, this could explain the significantly different battery life results some are comparing with their previous devices. Due to the tech for LTE, the Note 7 is just as bad with drain as every other LTE device with weak signal.
