Any new problems now with your replacement that you didn't have before?

No problems on my end. Fresh start.

What carrier did you have and who swapped it out?

This is something I am worried about.

I got my replacement yesterday. I let it restore from a backup, via samsung cloud, and I noticed that it is a little laggy as compared to my original Note7. I am considering wiping it before I set it up with my other email addresses and Samsung Pay again. And just go back to setting things up manually.

Can anyone say that this method would make any kind of difference?

I didn't have lag...or if I did it wasn't enough that bothered me (I wasn't trying to compare it to anything), but I was having some other little issues, such as my custom ringtone wouldn't "stick". I finally did a FDR and just redid it from scratch (I had used Smart Switch to go from Galaxy S7 to Note 7). Now my ringtone sticks no problem...any little things that were bugging me are gone. I know it sucks to do it this way, but if you have ANYTHING customized, honestly it really is the best way to ensure things work as well as they possibly can.

Actually, mine old one scared the hell out of me yesterday - I went to turn it on at the house to do a backup, then a Factory Reset before going to AT&T for the swap - it wouldn't turn on! I shut it off, fully charged two weeks ago and put it in the box - dead as a door nail - put it on the wireless charger. Would not charge - blue light, battery symbol but no movement, not charging ring symbol, no percentage. Tried a wall charging cable - same thing - DEAD! Aghhhhh!

Took it to AT&T anyway, explained it to them and the Rep asked me if I had checked my IMEI Number on the Samsung site and I had - he just smiled and said "Don't worry about it" ??? What's that about?

I'd like to know, too???!!!

Same here, no problems whatsoever. No lag or stutter. I don't restore from the cloud. I always just backup my apps to my sd card and then re-install them.

perhaps categorize it under "things that are better with your replacement", since I don't know how many there may be..but, my signal seems to be improved with this latest (ATT) N7.

My notifications & missed calls are not showing up on the Always On screen unless I set up a secure screen and then enable notifications. On my first Note 7, the messages & calls showed up by default without needing the screen to be locked with a pin number and iris and/or fingerprint.

No issues with my original Note purchased on release day and none whatsoever thus far with the replacement yay

What problem did you have with your original N7 that seems, so far, not a problem with your replacement?

On several occasions my original N7 seemed to lose connection to the cellular network overnight. People trying to call me the following morning would not get through until I rebooted the phone. So far so good on the replacement.

I'm sure there will be another excuse, this is Verizon.

Even though this recall is not Verizon's fault they have handled this recall worse then any of the 4 major carriers. My friends have Note 7's on AT&T and as soon as Samsung announced the recall on September 2nd my friends were able to trade in their defective Notes for loaner phones and we're given S7's.

They also were issued a refund for their screen protectors & given a $25 bill credit. Tomorrow they are picking up their new Note 7's.

Well my new Note 7 did get really hot when I was restoring the phone and using it. However after the first charge it cooled down and just got warm. Not sure if this is normal or not. I know my first Note 7 did the same thing when using it for the first time.

Verizon is doing them online today. Though it seems to vary in terms of replacing--how they are handling the old phone. But they are available.

My S pen is not as easy to remove. It gets lightly hooked up on something. Not a big deal however.

On another note...I used to have a toggle for fast charging. I can no longer find it. It used to be in advanced features. As anyone located it?

Some of the S Pens have issues. Did you send your recalled Note back yet? If you still have it, switch out the S Pen.

Switched them out and its the same.

My replacement works way better then my "faulty one". The first one wouldnt recognize a long press on the screen. I had to use my thumb and press hard. This time around no issues with it.

 

[souffoue]

Us verizon users will let you know when they actually start to replace them. No commission on the replacements, so getting the pass around. Tomorrow is the 21st, wonder if they will actually start the replacements or have a new excuse

I'm very frustrated with Verizon. Different answers everytime I call to see if replacements are in. The last rep I spoke with at the store I got my original note 7 told me they wouldn't get the replacements til after Sept. 30. I then asked how that would work since we were only given until the 30th to replace them. She laughed and said that was a good question and she had no idea!

Are you happy with your replacement N7? Obviously it has a safer battery, but are you noticing anything else that is better or worse than what you had with your original N7?

For example, if you had lagging issues before, is that now lessened? With the new battery, has your screen on time improved?

Maybe call the 800 number and have them check when the store you want to go to will have them.

Well that is not good. Maybe you need to swap that one back out before the 14 days are up because I don't imagine the situation with the S Pen is not going to get an better as time goes on.

I never had any lag issues with my old one, hope the new one is just as good.
