Loving my replacement Note 7

[RobertP1]

I had my T-Mobile Note 7 and exchanged it for a SG7E and glad I did it. I am not concerned about the safety issue, I just wasn't an S-PEN guy. The SG7E is amazing and I don't see the Note 7 being worth it, unless you are a S-PEN person. I got my phone and a few bucks back.

I had the SG7E as a loaner and I was very impressed with that phone. I loved everything about it except for the fact that there was no S Pen. I do use it, so I went back to the Note 7.

Yes, I really think they tuned the replacements. My green Note7 is definitely snappier and smoother than my original one.

Green?

I would go back also if I used the S-Pen often

Green?

The battery icon is green on the replacement Note 7 instead of default white.

Mine does seem a little snappier. With my first one I did a smart switch with a cable linking the Note 7 to my Note 5. I never really noticed any lag issues except for scrolling in Facebook but just assumed it was the app. With the replacement, I backed up my old Note 7 to my computer through the Smart Switch program. With the new phone I hooked it up to my computer and did a restore through the Smart Switch program, this is the only only thing I changed when setting it up. Now when in the Facebook app it scrolls much more smoothly but this could have been an update to the app, who knows. One thing I also noticed, unlocking my phone with my fingerprint is way faster. To the point where I thought the fingerprint unlock wasn't set up until I tried using a different finger then the one I scanned. All in all it's running great, stoked to have my Note 7 back, the S7 loaner was a huge downgrade.

Anyone else noticed that the note 7 screen is on yellowish side!
I compared it with the s7 and s7 screen is much nicer and whiter!

My original Note 7 (which was FLAWLESS btw) was the cool blue, bright white... replacement is the yellow white. At first this infuriated me, but I've gotten used to it. You're right though.

I love mine. I just discovered that the iris scanner works through my sunglasses. It didn't do that for me before.

Not new

My themes were not on the theme store and I had to search and download them again. Was this update recent?

Go to Samsung Themes and look for My Page. Then log in. That is where I found all my purchased and non purchased themes.

Now, why would I want to replace my replacement? It is working beautifully. I don't want to go through all that stuff again.

I am trying all kinds of things with my battery to make sure I have one that will give me a lot of time because no, I cannot imagine having to go through setting up one more phone right now.

No one commented on my question..My aftermarket micro USB cable using the included converter to C no longer fast charges this phone as my previous 7 had.. Thoughts?

Still not seeing how the battery life has gotten better and the performance is even faster. I was happy with my first Note 7, so was not expecting much of a ceiling increase if any.

Battery life is about 20% better (was already good for me)

Dead or Alive Plus is an arcade game on MAME that I use to test CPU power for devices. It went from barely being faster with frame rate than the MXPE (808 chip) to 30% faster. That is huge for MAME.

I normally do not rave, but the Note 7 went from great to even greater. Glad I stuck with the Note 7.

Could be part of the firmware update and is more strict now on power thresholds. If the charger and cable that came with the N7 works, that is probably the issue.

Why didn't you just hold out for the S8? It's going to be even more powerful than the S7

Agree with everyone else. My new Note 7 replacement is simply awesome. It is so much more responsive and the battery life is better than before.

I loved my Note 7 version 1.0 and I love version 2.0 even better.

The screen is gorgeous, battery life seems as good if not better, the responsiveness is wonderful, and I've even gotten to like the green battery indicator.

For my purposes, the business functionality, split screen and S pen are incredible.

IMHO there is not another flagship out there as feature rich.

Loving my sleek dark black Note 7 !!!

I went into a video store and paid with my phone-they had this small little card reader by their pc screen and it worked. Loving that.

The only one it didn't work on was electronic dept at a walmart. Could have been the sales clerk though. At any rate it's awesome

And hopefully as advertised more secure with a digital card instead of my actuall card being used.
I had a issue at Wal-Mart it was the girl I asked for the manager and it processed no problem that was with a gift card loaded in.

The girl at the video store that worked there she was absolutely floored that that worked. I get a big kick out of surprising cashiers with the Samsung Pay
