Note 7: I got my replacement! Thread

[lizardchest]

is this a Sprint thing

It seems like different carriers are holding up the update according to unknowable schedules. I think quite a few Verizon models show the green icon, but many don't. I'm on US Cell with no green icon/no updates. Samsung Chat told me the update would be out "in the next month."

I got my replacement Note7 from an AT&T corporate store at 9am this morning in black onyx. They wanted the box and everything in it, except the headphones. They didn't want those. The process took all of 30 minutes. I did not do smart switch. No green battery indicator. Made in Korea on 9/9/2016. Located in Virginia.

I got an update for the phone info app today and it now also includes a "recall checker" in the tools section.

Just got my Note 7 from Verizon. One store said they didn't have any and no word on them. Next store said they had some in all colors. Returned my exchanged S7E for a Note hassle free (for a change!). Born 9/5/16

Just called my local VZW. Said they came in this morning and they're opening the boxes now-come on in!

Let the backing up commence-then I'm off to the store. Rep did say to bring as much of original contents that I can.

Has anyone who got the new N7 and previously had the S7E, noticed which is quicker? My temporary S7E is definitely faster than my returned N7.

Man I know the new Note 7's coming in, has got to make a lot of folks feel good to get their new phones. And get back to things as usual.
Feels really great to still have a note 7.

No other phone like it to me.

Hope everybody enjoys their new Note 7's.

Man it feels GOOD to be back with them again.

I have Both the S7E and the Note 7.
Don't notice what you notice.
They are both fast, No lag.
Got to watch what apps you put on it.
And go and put the apps you don't need awake to sleep, and all.

This.
I am totally biased, though. I couldn't appreciate the S7E since I had a couple of weeks with my N7 first. I much prefer the larger screen, memory, S Pen, etc.
I'm sure the S7E is a fantastic phone. But it wasn't my Note, and I couldn't wait to get back into the N7.

Gee, I thought my store was a full service shop but you've got them beat!

Picked up my replacement Note 7 from AT&T corporate store in Washington Heights NYC. Same AT&T box. Only difference is the black square on the label.

 

[Xenuprime]

Thanks! I don't know if I would say it was lag, but I have all of the same setting and apps and the S7e is definitely quicker. It may have to do with / be related to my N7 battery acting up. It would go dead at around 40%.

My Verizon corporate store literally just got their shipment of all three colors and I told them to hold a coral blue for me until 8:00pm tonight. The first store I called said all they have is black and and they've been going very quick. If anyone lives in the glen Burnie area, the Verizon store in Marley station mall has many.

I went black this time. Happy with my choice. Small annoyance but I didn't like the rose/gold tint color on the bottom of the coral blue.

Has anyone gotten a replacement phone from T-Mobile? I've called 2 stores in my area and I get the feeling they dont want to deal with it until 09/21.

Also, those of you who got replacements, did you have any trouble getting your screen covers or accessories replaced? Did you get the $25 credit from Samsung?

I want to keep my s pen and charger/adapters as extras. They can have the headphones if they like.

I got my replacement note 7 and best buy put a new screen protector at no extra cost and didn't charge me for the actual screen protector either

There was a guy in my local BB trying to get a TMo N7 exchanged, but he bought his at TMo. The BB guy had to explain they have no point of sale record if he bought from anywhere but BB. Kind of surprised the guy tried to exchange there, but he said no help yet from Tmo.

Have any verizon customers gotten a replacement yet

I noticed that Verizon had Note 7's available for sale online today so I stopped into my Verizon store close to work and they had about 5-6 of each color. I had returned my original one in shortly after the recall so I just purchased the new one today. I was in and out in about 30 minutes. Happy to have my Note back for sure!
