Just Incase
[General Topics] brockmo:
So just today I go to make a phone call (HTC P4000 - Canadian CDMA Titan) by hitting the button and nothing happened. I reboot, again nothing happened. I did not make any software changes or drop the phone at all yesterday. It just randomly stopped working. After further testing, the jog wheel works (along with the click on the jog wheel), the directional pad in the middle of buttons below screen (along with the click) works, and the power button on the side (to turn screen off, or hold to be prompted for reboot) works. Everything else does not: the IE and messaging button at the top above the screen, the 2 function keys below the screen, as well as the windows and OK button below that. ALSO along the sides of the phone all buttons do not work (comm manager, camera, voice record, ok.... power does work though keep in mind).

Does this sound like a physical issue or possible software or OS corruption of some sort? What is bizarre to me is that the OK button along the side works, yet the button right below it (comm manager) does not work. It would make sense that this button (the power) would be wired differently as it's more essential i suppose. What are your thoughts? Anything I should try or does this sound 100% like hardware... if it is that's ok cuz I have a warranty through my carrier for the entire length of my contract. Thanks for any tips or advice in advance!

[Sony Smartwatch 3] blouz:
Hello,

Since Android 6, my smartwatch 3 needs a very long time to get a GPS position.

I use it only for running, with ghostracer or runkeeper.

Time to get the position was between 30sec and 1min before android 6 update.

It is now between 20 minutes and 30 minutes. The behaviour is the same with ghostracer and runkeeper (or wear GPS)

I also have an issue with Google Maps where the map stays gray as if there was no internet access. But I am not sure it is related.

I already tried a factory reset of the watch without success.

Do you see any other way to correct it ? I did not find a way to downgrade the watch.

Thanks.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] desantim:
Experiencing the same thing... I picked up a Moto360 Gen 2 for cheap, I'm infinitely happier with it as a watch. I think I am going to unload my Sony, and pick up a Tomtom tracker for running. $100 or so, direct swap for me, and infinitely more appropriate as a tracker. Half the time I go running, my SW3 fails to pick up a signal the entire run. Or it picks it up and loses it at some point during my run. It's basically useless for tracking at this point. I've owned a lot of devices, it's by far and away the worst GPS reliability I've ever seen.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] wizzbang3:
Hi,

I know most data points to an edge display only, but there has been two sets of prototype pics of dev models with flat screen plus the leaked iris scan video was flat. So 3 pieces of data.

Are we doomed or maybe a flat model a few weeks later?

P.s why don't they realease an S8 plus edition, nice large screen but no s-pen,,? The pen doesn't interest me and the note 7 doesn't if it's curved :(

I need that big display thought too! So regular S series not for me sadly ?

Thoughts?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jcadduono:
Pretty much doomed. Flat Note 7 is just on hand as a design in case the curved one has terrible sales from what I can tell, which will be very very unlikely.

There's rumors going around that the S8 will have a 5.5" UHD screen but everything's just rumors at this point :p ...

Make sure you actually get the Note 7 with the curve in your hands before you dismiss it though. I thought I'd hate the curve but it's not nearly as unusable as I'd imagined, and many of the cases out there mitigate curve damage nicely while keeping your fingers off it accidentally (ex. Caseology Wavelength).
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] wizzbang3:
I use glass screen protectors, so a curved screen does not appeal at all.

5.5 inch is a little small but perhaps I'll consider it.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jcadduono:
I'd take a stroll through http://xdaforums.com/s7-edge/accessories/curved-tempered-glass-screen-protector-t3320688 and see what you can find if absolutely necessary to have a glass protector on a curved screen. Unfortunately it's a very long thread and not much have had success, but maybe a brand will stick out that we can watch from the Note 7 side of things.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] wizzbang3:
Thanks, it's not worth all the trouble and worry though, I just won't reward them with my money sadly.

I still hold some small hope they remedy this mistake, but Samsung have a habit of being stubborn about doing stupid things for a generation (battery size, microSD) by the time they fix the flat screen, they'll do something else annoying. Like removing the physical home button (#1 reason I buy their phones)

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] TechBSwift:
I have owned the s7 edge, s6 edge, note edge, note 5 and let me tell you it's not that big of a deal. Yes I prefer the flat screen model because glare in the sun sucks in the s7 edge. However in doors you learn to love the edge sexiness. Also writing with the spen won't be a big change
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] chipworkz:
I have had the Note 3, Note 4, Note 5, and briefly the S7 Edge. The reason I returned the Edge was because of the locked boot loader and at that time, I didn't want that. The phone itself was very nice and I liked the Edge screen for the most part. It felt a bit gimmicky but some of the Edge panel features are nice. I didn't really have an issue with the Edge screen as far as holding the phone or touching the sides by mistake. The issue I had which I think was addressed later was miss taps while scrolling. The thing was constantly launching things while I was scrolling which drove me nuts.

If there was a choice between a flat or edge model, I am not sure at this point which I would choose but I would lean towards getting the edge model.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] notefreak:
I don't know. The one on Androidauthority doesn't look flat to me and there WERE two prototypes, one flat and it was said Samsung had abolished it:confused:
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] boufa:
It has been very widely reported that it was an internal video with a test unit. The flat version isn't coming out, period. All sources, and all leaks point to a curved model only.

If you need flat, then you need to look elsewhere. At this point that would be away from samsung.

I remember last year or so, when they moved the headphone jack, and a few other things, people were screaming, loudly, that it was turning into a iPhone, and the designs were not different enough to make a clear distinction between the top Samsung/Android phones, and the iPhone. The curved edge screen is that difference that was being looked for. In the end they have gained many more customers to the s7 edge and I would suspect the note 7 as well, than they will lose from those complaining about it. Remember how the removable battery and ir-blaster "mistakes" were going to bankrupt Samsung.

Personally, I have no opinion on the matter, I can't change the design, so I will end up with whatever they release. The positives of the device, as a whole, far outweigh a minor design consideration. I might grow to love it. Not sure, but I'm not running away until I try it.

The USB-C is the bigger issue... I want it, but what a pain in the butt it will be. Adapters, different charging cables... yuk. Once I get my whole family changed, it will be better. It is giving me flashbacks to the days of the dedicated charging cord... better hope you don't need to change your _______ if you didn't bring its cord.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] meboy:

I watched a ton of videos yesterday and it looks really toned down, big difference from the S7.

Only way to be sure is hold one in my hand, so i went ahead and pre-ordered it lol.

Sent from my Note 5 or S6
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
The only thing that should matter is usability. The original Note Edge with one curved side was an ergonomic disaster and impossible to hold without touching the screen. It also made using cases rough. The Note7's edges seem to better designed so that when you're holding it you won't accidentally hit things on the screen or edge panel. Let's face it, design and unique features are a huge part of what Samsung's using to command uber premium pricing. It worked with the S7/S7 Edge based on sales increases so the Note7 is following in their footsteps.

Personally I could go either way (assuming usability isn't affected). I'd have bought it with or without the edge display. Some of the things you can do with the edge panel are cool so it's not all fluff.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] g1herofan:

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] g1herofan:
Should add gripping the phone, my fingers touch both sides of the screen. It's too narrow for my hand.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mix1987:
Its much much tamer than the s7 edge. U can take my words to the bank. Spent an hour with it in a local samsung event. Honestly much better implementation of the edge design.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] meboy:
Agreed. That looks stupid in your hand. Way too narrow and tall.

Thanks for sharing.

How is that screen good for use with the pen Samsung??

I really hope they go back to just flat with rounded glass.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mix1987:
This is the way Samsung constructs their flagships from now and this design concept will most likely trickle unto the budget phones in the next few years. Unfortunately people who doesn't like the edge design are in the minority. Therefore, unless they've got abysmal sales figures at least for the Note, I seriously doubt they will bring back the flat phones.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] meboy:
I think the s7 edge sold well for several reasons.

Least of which was the curved glass.

Things change pretty quick. Already the edge has evolved. They could make it even less on the s8.

Heart rate sensor can go very soon too. I'm sure samsung has data showing how almost no one uses it. At this point that trial is about over.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mix1987:
Well, seeing that the edge outsold the regular S7 with the same specs, I guess its safe to say its because of the edge design dont you think?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] force70:
More like screen size not design. They may well have sold more with a flat 5.5 screen who knows?

But people do like gimmicks or whats "cool"...whatever the latest marketkng attempt is. and most sheep out there would consider the edge screen both and fall for it lol

I have not found it to be useful or practical myself.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mix1987:
Thats why I appreciate the tamer edge on the note 7. The edge bends at a steeper angle, making the grip feel more like a normal phone, especially with the symmetrical design. I like what Samsung has put into the design of this Note.

It feels to me that Samsung's innovation makes Apple look like its not even trying.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
For me, narrow(er) = good. Running through airports trying to use the Note5 one-handed was a chore. Trying to use it one-handed was also the time I felt most likely to drop it. I think it's more an optical illusion though. It's not that much narrower than the Note5.

Even the Note5 was narrower than the iP6+

Honestly, I wish they would make a flat faced version and call it the "Plus" line or something. I really wanna like this phone like the others (Owned a Note 3, 4 and 5) but I dunno, there are a few things putting me off haha
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
It wouldn't be a "plus" it would be a minus. Edge screen devices have always sold at a premium to their flat screen equivalents. Note's have always been Samsung's most premium devices price and feature wise. Where would Samsung position a flat Note7? If the Note7 sells well as-is the idea of introducing a de-contented flat version that sells for less seems non-productive. Especially because a cheaper Note is - A) no longer premium, and B) price wise would be encroaching on S7 territory. If there's a flat screen version it would most likely be dedicated to an emerging market like China or India where price is king and the selling conditions are different. Maybe the 6GB/128MB version for China will have a flat screen. Test mules with flat screens have appeared online.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] force70:
A traditional flat screen note with 6g of ram (not really a big deal there) and 128gb of storage?

Id be all over that in a heartbeat.

Too bad the chinese version would probably not be a good match for our mobile bands here.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
XDA is riddled with horror stories of people trying to Westernize Chinese Samsung devices. Playing with the CSC and partitions and then loading s/w from another region gets a device workable but never 100%. A flat Chinese-only Note7 would be even worse because there wouldn't be a Western region's ROM to load. Trying to convert Chinese and Korean devices to Western specs are a great garage project for those looking for a challenge but other than that should be avoided.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] meboy:
Try a big phone with an edge screen one handed.

I think you have a new problem. Always touching the screen.

They manufacture the screens. They could simply tweak the ratio from 16:9 and keep it flat.

The curve does no good for anything.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Femmetechstic:
From the looks of it I think a lot of Edge skeptics might change their mind, I think the less pronounced curve on the Note 7 might make a bigger difference than people think. Or maybe I'm just hopeful.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] meboy:
Less bad?

How about not having to deal with the still many compromises of a gimmicky aesthetic that adds nothing.

Glass that rounds down to the side bezels with a flat screen would be best.

It would help with edge gestures and look/feel nice without all the downsides like display distortion and accidental touches.
