Samsung Galaxy Note7 -- Verizon Users

According to Verizon, you can only use voice and data simultaneously if whoever you are on the call with is also using HD Calling.

I used it also, but I found that the S Pen nib didn't glide over it very easily. And since it doesn't go from edge to edge the S Pen nib catches on the edge of the plastic film on both sides when moving an icon for example.
But it is still more protection than nothing.

Really? I'm not having any issues with the S-Pen and the out of the box film. Only when I try to go outside the radius of the film, which is the curves so I shouldn't be there anyway lol.

I'm just in awe of the blue coral lol. I really need to go get a screen protector asap!!! Still rocking the protective film that came on the phone anyone else?

I left mine on for a week and everyone raving about the screen had me peeking. Then I just said ah screw it! Lol

It's a free feature that you can enable on your account online. Not available on all phones but the Note 7 does support it.

To activate HD Voice on your Android device:
- Go to Settings
- Tap Advanced Calling under WIRELESS NETWORKS
- Tap Activate Advanced Calling and follow on-screen instruction

What keyboard besides Swift Key are y'all using? I'm fed up with the non auto correct on the Samsung keyboard and I don't want to play anymore. This is the first time I won't be using the stock keyboard.

SwiftKey is probably the best out there. Highly recommended.

You people are irritating me. I haven't decided to buy it yet, but you're making me want one.

Its a great phone!

I guess I should rephrase, having the number row above my keyboard like the stock keyboard is important to me...any of the 3rd party keyboards have the option to have the number row?

If you don't mind me asking, why did you switch to Verizon?
Have you noticed any difference in signal strength? Can you use voice and data simultaneously?
I'm on AT&T and contemplating a switch as well.
Thank you

I can get simultaneous voice and data. Also switched because it was slightly cheaper. Signal strength has been slightly better. Data speeds are faster.

That is an option with SwiftKey. I am using right now and it is much better than stock.

Great! I'll try it out! I'm very disappointed in the dang stock keyboard. I waited a week, tried to get it to learn but it won't even try. It was just fine on the S7 Edge, so I have no idea what to think.

 

[MizWylie]

D'oh. I can't stand the SwiftKey layout for punctuation. That's a lot of work for an exclamation point!

I'm biased coming from BlackBerry, but I love the BlackBerry keyboard. Swiping your words up from the keys is my favorite part, and the recognition is amazing.

LOL I just want one similar to the Samsung one. Punctuation on SwiftKey is killing me at the moment.

You should give it a try, you can always uninstall if you don't like it.

I just swipe up and left from the period/punctuation key?

!!!

Three in a row; not sure how it could be easier.

 

[Jaycemiskel]

Yeah, I use SwiftKey beta. They even automatically put the number row key up when you're typing a password in case you don't want it up there all the time. Punctuation is easy, hold the period down, and swipe right for question mark ir swipe to the left for exclamation. The comma has its own button.

Mine works whether the other person had HD calling enabled or not. I just called my home phone and while it was ringing I surfed the net in the browser. Loaded a new web page just fine. You're still using data to make your phone call so you should be all good to use simultaneous voice and data as long as you have the feature enabled
