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

Guess Ill see more how it goes tomorrow. At 78% with 1.5 hrs of the screen being on. Thats like the old one. Who knows maybe this one has an issue. Guess time will tell.

I'm on T-mobile and my battery also drain faster than before..sucks! All the settings are the same as on the old N7

I backed up my old note7 with smart switch.i use outlook for my calendar Contacts etc.got my replacement note7 .used smartswitch backup. And all is well.phone is great fast ,great battery.love my new note.

I made my own thread on this but I'm havin an issue where multiple vibrations cause the phone to make rattling noise. Irritating. Everything else is great. Maybe the fact that I only used smart switch for pictures and manually dl'd apps. I went to exchange but they were out of stock...this is a terrible process and if I didn't only feel comfortable with the note i'd go to a different phone. got me trapped.

My new notes s-pen is more inside the phone. My old note7 s-pen would stick out some but would be alot easier to take out.

I've had a couple of random dropped calls, when I've had full bars and in 4G LTE coverage areas (I'm with Verizon). With my most recent dropped call, the other party was on a landline, so I'm not sure if it's just random or something more.

Also, it takes a little more effort to plug in a USB-C plug for charging. I am using a third party USB-C plug, but it seemed easier with my first N7 to plug in. Weird.

If the dropped calls persists, I may go do another exchange sometime this week/next weekend.

Yes, I also noticed its harder to plug in the USB C. My old note 7 was extremely too easy to plug in.

My S-pen was not working well. It skipped a bunch and was not very responsive. I was not too happy. But I put a new tip on and now its smooth as butter. I think the first tip had some residue or something on it that was making it stick and not flow well.
I was also having trouble setting my fitbit as a trusted device. The fitbit app was syncing fine, but it would not pick it up in the smartlock settings. After the update though, it fixed itself.
The battery in my new Note is way better than my original. I can make it all day without extra charging. My first one I had to charge before leaving work to make it through the rest of my day.

My wife's new, non-exploding, Note7 has the same issue. We're on AT&T, if that matters. It's making us crazy. She needs an audibl alert for texts, but silence for emails. Not an option any longer!
Let me know if you figure anything out. I'll do the same. Probably going to for a factory reset tonight...

Thanks again!
Brian

Re: Note 7 - Verizon Message+ Notification Tone

That's weird. I'm on Verizon and mine has the email category there, though I never use it. I just want my email notifications to show but not speak, so to speak. Don't know why it wouldn't show on yours.

I have a problem I just found, trying to set up the emergency contact/sos feature. On the first phone I had no problem putting my daughter in there. On this one, for reasons I cannot fathom, it will let me add my son-in-law out of the contacts but not my daughter either from the contacts or as a straight add to the feature. Any clues, anyone? Same contacts, nothing's changed.

Note7 replacement devices still at risk of overheating reported to a local television news network.

Same.. I unplugged in and screen was off. Came out of a 15 min shower and it was at 96%... Meanwhile my iPhone 6plus (almost 3 years old) was also off the charger PLAYING PANDORA.. and was at 99%... this phone.. I swear to god

Does the iPhone even do fast charging yet?
People obsess way too much over battery life. If that's your ONLY criteria for a phone, get the iPhone.
If you want a more fully-featured, customizable phone, your have many options.
Personally, I put the camera near the top of my list. I can't have a small screen, either.

I think this is a good thing, not bad.

No link to the story? Local news is probably more along the lines of carrier reps as far as accuracy go.
My local news takes every opportunity to slam anything Android. They put the iPhone on such a high pedestal.
To be 100% accurate, there isn't ANY phone that doesn't have a slight risk of overheating. IPhones included. That's just reality.

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?

So far none for me. Better than the first one. For the record, I did not restore it. I set it up from scratch as a new phone.

My charger port connector is different. It holds the connector much better than the 1st phone. To the point of being a PIA to remove!

That's a fairly common complaint actually. Mine is also tighter, but I like that.

Only issue I have is sending pic in text message to one friend. They can send pics to me just fine but when I send one to them they don't get it. I sent the pic to another friend and they got it. The original person also sent pic back and forth with another person and no issues so it just seems to be between the two of us that they don't get mine. Other than that it's been running great.
