My real problem with giving up my Note 7 is losing Grace UI

[drewood31601]

I realized this morning that I really can live with going back to my Note5, but I hate to give up Grace UI. I love the direction Samsung went with the TouchWiz skin and the thought of losing it is causing all types of anxiety in me.

at least you have a note 5 to go back to. many of us including myself dont

I almost traded mine in but decided at the last minute not to. You do have my sympathy

I hope that Grace UI update comes soon.

Well radio on the way to work this morning. Apparently celebrities aren't giving them up this time. The one on the talk show said he flew in to Mississippi with his. He said the statistics were higher for cancer than his N7 exploding. They asked what happens if they don't let him fly back with it. I'm renting a car and driving back to New York. Lol! He said no one can say why it happened or how, but recalled it. He said so far he has not seen nor heard of any more catching fire. I got the s7e but I'm still gonna run my N7 to see if it really will flame up. Yep $900 risk to run high processing apps to heat it up but ya gotta wonder why no one can make it go boom but itards.

Just received my New 64GB N5 and refuse to unbox it. I bought it so at least I have it if I'm tackled to the ground forced to turn it off. I'm not going down without a fight! lol Just not charging it overnight. and might leave it on a fire-proof pad at night.

I got the s7e yesterday, and have activated it, but I'm hanging on to the n7 till I can't return the s7e. Never know what info could come out, or what could change...

Very doubtful the n7 will ever be supported again tho, even if Sammy does, Verizon will likely tell them to pundits sand.

I'm sure I will eventually give mine up, but I'm gonna procrastinate a little more. This phone is just so damn good. How did this mess happen? No resale, no support, and possible crippling updates will be my only reason for letting this baby go. Does anyone know if any if the ones in China ever had issues?

I place mine on a glass top for overnight charging. Or u could get a small Pyrex dish. Just to be safe from the media and itards. Sorry I just can't stand apple any longer. Every case I have seen the owners of these exploding N7's have an iPhone, not an old one ,but a brand spanking new one! Get real here. Statistics don't add up. I got an s7e but man I just can't turn off my N7! It's like Apple paid people to destroy an N7 to squash the one phone that could have brought them to their knees.

Never in a million years I would think it would be soo hard for me to give up a phone....lmao. My hubby thinks I am down right crazy...lol. But it shows how we have grown accustomed to having one and on top of it the luxuries/specs that come with them. I will give mine up at the end, just trying to make a choice between the LGV20, the Note 5, Axon7, OnePlus 3, Asus Zenphone Deluxe 3 and the Moto Z Force....sigh. One thing I do know, is that I will never be caught without a backup phone ever again. I am actually now looking for 2 phones.

Good question....

GraceUI is one of the reasons why I have decided to be done with Samsung. Not because I don't like it, I do. What kills me is the fact the s7edge is a flagship 2016 phone and they haven't gotten around to adding GraceUI to it yet. This is a company that has unlimited resources. The s7 edge should not be so far behind the note in terms of software. I am tired of Samsung's general software support.

The note7 was a gem, and it is painful to give it up but I am not giving Samsung any more business.

 

[LeoRex]

I have to believe that Samsung will try to push a lot of the newer UI stuff to the S7 line and maybe the Note 5 as well. 1) To try to keep those users happy and b) No Note 7 to take away development resources

 

[donm527]

For Note 5? Any info/links that say they plan to? Or wishful thinking? Can they do that without having to wait for a full OS update? Cause Note 5 people just got Marshmellow right? If there is any Nougat we could be talking mid 2017. Could they update the Spen software separately that has the new features like the gif creator or translator?

I hope that Grace UI update comes soon.

Agreed!

If you're listening Samsung, the $75 bribe is nice, but if you really want me to stick with Samsung, bring the Grace UI to the S7 Edge (and make sure at&t gives it to us in a timely manner)!!!

I sadly traded in my replacement Note 7 and got an S7E. It's nowhere near as good as the N7 but at least it will be getting the Grace UI in the near future.

Nougat for Galaxy S7, S7 edge said to bring new Grace UI

I have literally walked into T mobile with all my accessories 3 times. As you can sees from my signature I'm 0 for 3. I concede, I feel like a 5 year old "my phone, you can't have it".....

What has really annoyed me is that I had to send my first note 7 back and I was waiting for a replacement but second recall happened so I couldn't get my replacement I'm in UK so I got the s7 edge well Samsung updated the aod today but dint include 3rd party apps or double tap with I think is really out of order since I had the note so if they don't add that to the s7 edge Samsung can do one
