Did you choose to ship to the carrier when you registered? My phone is Telus, but I chose to ship directly to my house when I registered for the replacement.

I think they are sending those all out first, because for the ship to carrier option, they have to call each person individually to get the address info of the store you want it shipped to.

Has anyone had any funky issues and lag since the green battery OTA? I had tons of lag, crappy battery life and weird overly issues.

I did a factory reset (ug) last night, and it's been perfect since.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kjkwok:
i had chosen to ship directly to my house wgich is what is weird, i thought it would be the most simple. but its like impossible to get ahold of anyone who has real information other than that hotline..this whole recall is pretty frustrating. i would assume selling customers timebombs and saying sorry you would ship them a new phone instantly regardless .
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GibMcFragger:
What color are you waiting for? It seems the ones that already shipped are old stock that had been deemed OK (produced end of August). Maybe they ran out and are awaiting new production.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kjkwok:
i guess noone knows for sure what their deal is. mine is a onyx black and my girlfriends is a coral blue. But ive seen people in toronto and calgary receiving those colours, maybe cuz theyre closer to head office... just wish i could get a solid answer from somebody from samsung, buts itd all runarounds.

I've been using the note 7 without a case or screen protector ever since I applied for the exchange last week or so.

I've been careful with it and haven't dropped or manhandled the phone, but I do see a lot of micro scratches on the edges of the back glass. No scratches on the display side though.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] THS1989:
Same here. The front gorilla glass 5 is VERY good.

No scratches. Resists fingerprints.

The back..not so good. It isn't the same kind of tough gorilla glass I think.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Got a slick wrap on the back and naked on the front. So far so good! ?

Dear Note 7 Users,

I need a small help...

Can anyone send me a screenshot of their spen icon..asap

Thank you a lot guys.....
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] funkydude101:
I bought this for the back because I felt it was slippery compared to my Note 4's fake leather back. Haven't actually received it yet, so the verdict remains to be seen.

I want the spen pointer icon that appears on the screen....

My Ghost Armor screen protector lifted also. The edges of my case pushed it up, so I trimmed it bit. Lol.

When did you registered online?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rajeshr:
Two versions of the Ghost Armour are available - the regular size one and one that's a bit shorter for use with cases. I had to them switch to a smaller one because the regular one kept lifting when used with a case.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GibMcFragger:
Nice thanks! I'm still in my two weeks. Maybe I'll switch it while I still can.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] THS1989:
Happy with mine. 10h SoT. Just need original screen protector now.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] solar742:
So Samsung live chat gave me different number to call 1-855-747-6520. I hope I'll get my replacement soon (blue coral).

Just received my Coral Blue replacement ...got email for Sept 15th shipping....black square label...return UPS box supplied...no need for me to go to a return centre...phone built Sept 16th.

Time to speed test against my existing "non exploding" unit ..not expecting any difference
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] note3or2:
Just received email from UPS. I am getting my Blue replacement tomorrow. Funny thing is it has to go back because I already returned my phone to rogers and got full refund.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kjkwok:
my girlfriend got her email from ups today as well for her coral blue, funny i applied for the replacement a week before she did...maybe theyre going by colours and ran out of black.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] solar742:
I'm getting super impatient with them. They said to wait for an email or parcel by Friday and if it hasnt arrived by then I have to call them for them to "escalate" the issue. I had to wait 30mins just to talk with someone luckily I used skype to call them 'cause I would have had to waste my minutes on them. I'm also one of people who registered for the replacement on the first day too. This is the second time I've called them.

---------- Post added at 09:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 PM ----------

For her shipping time was it mailed from Ontario on the 19th of September? (I live in Vancouver as well)
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kjkwok:
im thinking they ran out of blacks and just got a shipment of blues.....pretty choked about this whole ordeal. Im on livechat with them right now hoping to get an answer...maybe they put those who call and complain on a naughty list of sorts lol
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] adsam3927:
Interesting that I just read the letter and nowhere does it state anything about the S-PEN needing to be returned...just device

I think I may keep the old pen

Really? Power saving mode? 1440p? What's the point of using your note 7 with it's features when you won't even use them? Everyone has a charger nearby. Enjoy your mediocrity settings.

Finally got ups tracking and should see my Coral Blue by tomorrow (tuesday) sometime (filled out the online exchange form the morning after it went live on the 7th). Also got an email for a return waybill to ship my old one back. It's strange some got theirs early and by FedEx with nothing but instructions with locations of drop off points. I live 2km from the Mississauga office and get a shipping waybill. They're really unorganized!

I was ready to call and request a refund when I got home from work too but seeing as it shipped today I'll wait and see if it is delivered tomorrow as it says in the tracking info.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] millicent:
There's no much battery gain difference whether using the power saving mode or not, regardless of the screen resolution. In my case I could save probably half an hour at most in fhd resolution.

However, although myself never seen more than 5 hours of sot i reckon it might be possible to achieve that if thats what you really want. The most important thing is to keep performing less intense tasks while using the screen, such as ebook reading, or otherwise light browsing. Refrain from gps tracking, video chatting, video game playing or video recording. Also no huge transferring over the lte or wifi antenna. Then I can guarantee you can get 8h+ of sot out of 10 hours total.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ronii_lyn:
Man, hearing people getting tracking numbers for their blue coral phones is getting me excited! I haven't received a tracking email yet though :( hopefully tomorrow! I've already returned my phone to the Samsung store at WEM about a week ago and I'm missing it!

10 hrs SOT? In safe mode or something? I can't even get 5hrs SOT
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Haxornator:
I bought mine in Burnaby, BC but I went to Japan for work in early Sept, I'm not coming back to Canada until March. I bought the unlocked note 7 straight from Samsung because Japan hates Samsung and hasn't offered a note since the note 4.

Trying to get it replaced here is a pain in the ass if not impossible.

I contacted Samsung Canada on live chat, first they recommended me to mail the phone to Samsung Canada for return, after which they'll mail the replacement device to a Canadian address.. I reiterated that I'm not back in Canada until March and that I need my phone for work. They said there isn't a system in place to help me with a replacement phone and they can't mail to Japan.

I asked for a manager and was denied.

I tried again the next day and that person said to call Samsung Japan to help me. So I did, Samsung Japan said since the phone isn't sold in Japan that it I must mail it to Canada first, and wait for a replacement, with shipping at my own expense.

This is such bull****.

I left a message on Samsung's Facebook page, I even called in to Samsung Canada and spoke with the rep who wouldn't forward me to a manager but took my information.

****ing Samsung. I'm about ready to throw this phone in the trash if I didn't spend over $1000 on it.

Definitely the last Samsung device I buy.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] equlizer:
My update still allows me to charge to 100% and nothing was disabled. Does that mean my battery is unaffected?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] THS1989:
Pls stop being stupid....

1440p is the max resolution of the display. You realize power saver is customizable right ? It doesn't slow down my phone or hinder my experience. It only increases battery life....

It's not about having a charger. It's about minimizing battery degradation.

---------- Post added at 04:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 AM ----------

Yes 10h SoT. No not in safe mode..... Only with very minimal customized power saver mode.

Not sure what you are trying to say but whatever. I get 10h SoT and that's with data/Bluetooth on with screen at full resolution, good brightness and zero lag. So yes I fully enjoy my note 7.

it's not samsungs fault you moved to a country that doesn't support samsung is it?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] radrcanada:
It is their fault that they sold devices that shouldn't have passed any type of decent quality control. Doesn't matter where you live, it's still a safety recall and Samsung should be replacing the units will little to no inconvenience to the customer. It's not like this person is asking for a warranty replacement on their charger or something. This is 100% on Samsung, I'd be pissed too if they charged me for shipping for something they messed up on. I'm glad I didn't buy the Note 7 before leaving for my trip, or I'd be in the same boat.

Just my two cents. :)
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jahomes:
Any idea as to when the Note 7 will be available to purchase? Thanks.

Black, Rogers outlet in Winnipeg.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GibMcFragger:

I had it shipped directly to my house though, that seems to make a difference.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] marktang:
Just fill out the form and have the replacement sent to your canadian address. Ask someone to send you the phone and just return your old one when you come back. We all got our replacement without mailing our old one in first. It's not such a hassle.

Im with rogers and exchange my phone via samsung site and receive replacement by fedex 5 day later and dont receive Return tracking, only place to deposit but dont have car, so i call samsung last week and take all my information and im waiting for email with return traking printable...but no new since...

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yassinef:
Probably get someone that can agree to sign it for you and ship it to you
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] marktang:
As long as that person has the same address as you wrote down they will let the person sign and take the package. My mom signs it for me some times at the depot no problem at all
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] adsam3927:
Not a bad problem to have but currently I have the old and new unit with me.

I've used the new Coral Blue unit for a few days and noticing it's a little warmer than my older unit.

Also with Google Pixel being announced next week, wondering whether the 14 day refund window still applies ? Bought at Samsung Store
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] prox4ion:
Did the store call you? I filled in the address of the Sherway store on the online form but haven't gotten any response yet.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] skadude66:
Not relevant to the Sherway store, but I filled in the form for the retail location closest to me and I got a call from them confirming the location but nothing else. No replacement or call about my new device yet.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cycloneon:
Do the new Note 7s come factory unlocked or something? When I first purchased my now recalled Note 7, Samsung emailed me with an unlock code(since I ordered it straight from Samsung online). Or will I have to actually pay for an unlock code this time around?

Don't really have another sim card to try at the moment.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] darthfire:
It will lock to the sim you first insert but you can call them for a new unlock code
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ambrosios:
you can call them...or you can use the live chat from the samsung.com website. They will create a ticket for you...they say takes 3-5 business days.

I m still waiting my phone to replace register on 8 sept .CORAL BLUE still waiting

any body waiting for coral blue ?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jmitr:
Same here. Two different tracking numbers.

Ill he happy if it is a return label (and box). I live in Castlegar BC. That is a 7 hour drive to the nearest Samsung store and the reason my old Note 7 is still with me.

The 2 tracking numbers and 2 separate emails are odd. I already got my pre order gift a while ago.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] arcane613:
Yeah, I'm still waiting (haven't posted about it until now). FWIW, I registered ~6:30am on the 7th, and my first email said the 12th, then the 15th. Coral Blue. Kingston, ON.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kjkwok:
girlfriend got hers a 2 days ago ( coral blue ) the other email is indeed a return label already preattached to a box. I just got my two emails this morning ( onyx black ) and scheduled to arrive tommorow, about time they send mine out =.=
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GibMcFragger:
The odd thing is that the presumably empty return box coming to me shows a weight of 2lbs.

I called Samsung on the 15th to check my status via my reference number, and she said it was still pending. I requested a Coral blue instead of black and she made a note on my account and escalated it.

I got home the same day and had a black one waiting for me at home. They had already shipped my replacement presumably the day before I called.

Is this now the blue they are shipping me? An empty box shouldn't be 2lbs. That would be sweet!
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] fortesquieu:
I believe the weight reflects what it'll be when you return YOUR phone in it.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GibMcFragger:
I thought that also, but the return tracking number I got at the same time says 1lb.

I guess I'll see tomorrow lol.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] AndrewSE:
Anyone get a call from Sherway yet about their exchange ?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] girn26:
You guys should have got two tracking numbers. One is 1lb other is 2lb. Not sure what 2lb item is

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] fortesquieu:
Must be a stacked of cash in those boxes!
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] AndrewSE:
Willing to bet one waybill is to ship the box and the other for the return.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] girn26:
Could be actually
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GibMcFragger:
Yep. It's the 2lb weight of the inbound "empty" box we are wondering about.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:

Idiots....Sammy could you make yourselves look any worse. ..jeez :what:
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GibMcFragger:
That's what it looks like. The dumb part is that they KNOW I've returned it, because the Samsung Store entered all my info when I did..... Two weeks ago.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:

Unless maybe its a free VR..which it should be for all the crap they put people through
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] millicent:

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GibMcFragger:
I'd be OK with that. They should bloody well do something. I'm flying next month. I can already picture the hassle even though i've got a "good" phone. I'm willing to bet they have no idea about the green-means-good battery.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] marktang:
i seriously doubt you will have problems on your flight. no one is going to check, they are too busy preparing to take off and make sure everyone is taken care of to be bother with your phone.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GibMcFragger:
That's what I'm hoping. :)
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jmitr:
Nope, "they" wouldn't as there has been no new directives from Transport Canada or memos to that effect.

The recommendation to power down your Note 7 and not charge it in flight therefore still applies to all Note 7s.

I have dead headed now and commuted with my new Note 7 and never even got a second look from the crew. While operating my flights and during breaks I have openly used my Note 7 (new) in front of several fellow crew (other Pilots as well as flight attendants) and no one responded any different.

Most flight attendants wouldn't know what a Note 7 looks like. The ones I asked directly about it didn't know, not one.

Edit: Unless it is breaking news on Mobilesyrup first, I will update you guys if Transport Canada or my company (Air Canada) updates anything. The airlines can't change anything until Transport directs them to do so.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kjkwok:

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Ivr been going back and forth on Twitter of all places with samsung on getting my replacement.

I publicly voiced my displeasure with the lack of care on sammys part and general confusion on the exhange CSRs part to the COO or something and within an hour samsung canada were messaging me lol.

Who would have thought. .
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] marktang:
ok apparently you have to be at home to receive that UPS return package. Just received an email from UPS saying they will make another attempt since i am not home and they can not drop it off at those UPS access point. What a hassle.
