www.otterbox.com Thing is, you'll be paying full msrp. But, to insure a costly device like that (with our sales tax (Puerto Rico), the total sale runs just shy of $1,000! a $57 investment to protect it, isn't excessive... as I had stated earlier, I got a no name "full body protector, with holster & built in screen protector" and it came yesterday... plastic isn't plastic, there are many, many different kinds. This protector is cheap ($8.89USD if any of you are from outside the US), and it is as its' cost; cheap! The "rubber" is more like TPU, which I do not care for, so I cannot wait for my fav. company to get of their collective arses, and start making cases for the note7. Seidio is pricey, but good, Otterbox is VERY good, but I don't like the tactile of it. I was a die-hard Seidio fan, but their color selection had been horrible, (I know it may be just me, but I like to keep my phone as cool as possible, so I got a white note3, with a white case... my transition to N7, I got the lowest heat collection (silver), and I'm looking for a similar case... white, light grey, silver; I don't care for esthetics, I just want to keep my phone cool.. I guess it's the old geek in me, from working in Network rooms where the AC was so high, to protect the computers. I also had a N3 overheat on me, and shut down... permanently!) That's why I bought an SG Ballistic one year... I really liked the workmanship, and attention to detail; the soft (real) rubber edges, and hard body protection the goes over it. The corners are doubly protected, and I've dropped my Note 3 several times, (mostly as a demonstration, that I'm confident in the case... yeah, really!). I'd recommend what I did: buy a POS "full body" protection case, and for $9 you'll have semi-worry free protection, until you decide on a final protection investment. With that in mind, has anyone actually had a unicorn beetle case in their hands? I saw one, that looks almost like the POS case I had delivered yesterday, but it's about 3x more expensive. I figured it may either be just as crappy as the one I have now, or a quality ver. of it.

Im soooo excited. I just pre ordered my note 7. Thought my days of new phones were over with them doing away with cheap phones with conttact and hubby and i being retired. But i decided i wanted a gear fit 2 and hubby surprised me by saying why don't we get the note 7 with free watch and csn get the vr headset later. Soo the gear fit is with me now (ordered online with best buy and store pickup and they sent me a text a few hes later that the watch was available for pickup . Yeah). Cant wait for my shiny new phone. Ordered the blue (closest to purple they got ha ha ha)
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] durandetto:
I have the unicorn beetle pro and it is really well made. Close to the quality of the defender, just thinner.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
I also have the Beetle Pro. The only negative for me is the holster doesn't snap open like a kickstand. I also normally have my phone snapped into the holster backwards with the face of the phone pointing outwards and it does this with the Beetle pro it just doesn't seem like it necessary should do it like there is some resistance when clipping it in.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] durandetto:
My defender for the note 5 was the same way when snapping it in screen out. I thinks because the back is more rounded and slightly thicker.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
There is a video on YouTube of a guy unboxing the Sprint Note 7 that was uploaded yesterday. Hopefully this is some indication that we shouldn't be too farther behind!

Wonder what has the better resale value, the gear fit 2 or the 256gb memory card. I don't need either...
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
I am in the same boat, I don't want a fitness tracker and I already have a 200GB SanDisk Ultra memory card. You'll probably only get maybe $100 for either of them on eBay.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mac01843:
I spoke to a sprint tech today, he told me that the S7 & Note7 both have single radios, (like the all the Spark phones, and later "enhanced" LTE phones... that won't allow text/browsing, while talking; how is this advancing in technology... because the processor is faster, and it's a bit lighter/thinner? I'm a big boy, I can handle a thicker and bigger phone. I cancelled my pre order, this evening.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
I don't think I've ever used that feature probably because I rarely make phone calls. I still have the Note 4 and compared to the Note 7 it's a nice upgrade. All I really care about is a better screen, better camera and snappier phone and I will get that with the Note 7.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mammothjojo88:
Its only Friday and I am anxious for my new note 7!
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Well the T-Mobile forum is reporting they have been charged and started getting shipment tracking numbers. Knowing Sprint though I doubt we'll get it early, maybe 1 day or delivered on the 19th.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jbadboy2007:
Talk and surf wont return until there is volte
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] JWnSC:
That's one feature I miss on my old note 3. Sadly it was stolen out of my truck. Was one of the fastest phones I've owned running tamesek's cm13.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] DruoGaby:
my card was charged yesterday...my rebate and sim tool kit shipped out yesterday as well..nothing on phone yet...the rep said i should get my phone on the 15th...thats monday...if so ill be golden...and my card was charged before some of my tmobile buddies
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] blaque72:
My card was charged the day I pre-ordered Aug. 8th but going by the order status on sprint it still says will ship by 8/17
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkManX4lf:
Yes same here.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
Ordered sd card with no issues and already got my $20.00 samsung card for using samsung pay....now on to the $50.00 rebate...hope everyone is having as much fun as i am!...

Oh, does anyone know anything about the vulkan enhanced games to be available just for the note?
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
I used to have the Menu and Back key lights off permanently on my previous Note 4 and cannot find the setting on the 7. Has anyone found this?
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] allofthepeople:
I caught my guy about to leave it at the wrong house lol glad I was sill watching for him.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] reverepats:
Yeah man super wierd. I'm trying g to figured if this is a hardware thing, something that csn be improved over a software update. But that's exactly how I would explain it as you did.

Someone in the note 7 community on G+ did ask the same question. Some poeple did agree, but others said they didn't notice anything like this. I may contact samsung just to simply ask why this would be. Thanks for the feedback

I was able to get 1080p to work after setting battery saver to mid, and select customize, change resolution to max, then exit. Then select battery again and select none and the resolution stuck...factory set to FHD (for max you want wqhd)

Even better!
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] durandetto:
I have the same message just no tracking number.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] fgr:
I had that message too, then it changed to the one with the tracking number when they actually shipped it.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] durandetto:
When did you submit yours?
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] fgr:
I'm curious,

Have you done any speed tests on the card to see if it lives up to it's claims?
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Not sure how, but I will. Any particular app you recommend?
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] fgr:
For the phone I used one from the playstore called "A1 SD Bench". There are several others, but I haven't tried them.

I like to test speeds on my desktop and I use a program called "h2testw.exe". I believe it's what Sandisk recommends.

I attached it. It is an exe file, but we can't upload them, so I changed the .exe to .txt. Just rename it back to "h2testw.exe". It's a stand alone program, so it won't install, it just runs.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
I don't have a computer to test it but I did with the app, I think I did it correctly?
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] fgr:
No picture....

Ya, my memory was that program was kind of confusing. Oops, there it is.

---------- Post added at 06:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 PM ----------

That doesn't look to bad. I don't think you'll ever get the claimed speeds in a phone.

I'm using a Sandisk 128gb. My read was a little higher at 75MB/s and my write was slower at 17MB/s.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mac01843:
Did my research, Spanky... order cancelled. Do your research, and you'd know this.

---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 PM ----------

Yes, this has been a reported issue... another reason I'm glad I cancelled. Maybe next year's Note 8 will be better. Sorry, ladies and gentlemen.

---------- Post added at 06:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 PM ----------

LG V20 will have specs approximating the N7, but at about $200+ less. I'm not an LG fan, though. The edge thing doesn't do anything for me, and I'd like them to stop making glass phones... big, ugly and tough; that's what I want in a phone!
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] bignibb:
I haven't been able to do this since my note 3 and i would have to be in a 4g area to use data while on the phone, if i had of know i would have lost that feature i wouldn't have upgraded
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] TrofeoSC:
Anyone having trouble getting their sprint phone that they preordered from Best Buy?

I ordered 4 phones and received 2 on the first day and now they are telling me to wait for their email to tell me that the phones were in. They are telling me that there is nothing they are able to do about it!!!!!!!

That doesn't seem very probable that they can't get my two other phones by just making a call. The phones were all ordered at the same time at their store.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] MrsHoneyDip:
I ordered 2 from them because me and hubby went into panic mode when Sprint's shipping dates kept changing, so we had a total of 4 coming. Only ended up with 2 on release day, one from Sprint and one from best buy. I cancelled the best buy order cuz they told me the same thing. And I placed my orders at the same time as well.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Well, the T-Mobile preorders will be delivered Monday and still not a peep from Sprint. All these people getting the phone early may make it harder to grab these preorder bonuses....
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mammothjojo88:
Shame. Hoping to get my note 7 sooner..
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Yeah....good old Sprint for ya. If they do ship "by the 17th" as stated online we should have it at least 1 day early. I believe they ship them next day delivery.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mammothjojo88:
I will get mine from the store so I am not sure of that process...
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] durandetto:
I doubt anyone gets it before Tuesday. Shipping info just went out, no way they get them in one day with the weekend.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] PvtJoker:
I pre ordered mine in person at the store. Rep said that if they get it early and can release it early then i will have it before the 19th.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] saulc1981:
I seen some of you got the phone from the sprint website and paid 200 or so. I almost made that mistake but by calling sprint and asking about it and you know the drill guys make the suggestion that you might leave to another carrier I got the phone at no money down and just paid for the shipping. 12 dollars, yup didn't pay the taxes either for the full price of the device and got them to waive there one time fee. I almost left to att cause they are offering the gear s2 but I go through data like a mad man. I just hope that the brains here at xda can root quickly and give us xposed.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
I also almost went to either Tmo or At&t but run through data like crazy and my current plan of 2 phones with unlimited everything for $100 is hard to beat. My monthly data usage average is around 40GB, At&t or Verizon would crucify me [emoji23]
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mammothjojo88:
T mobile customers are getting their note 7s tomorrow. Many of them have an overnight shipping attached to their delivery.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Sprint will be next day/overnight also, which I assume will be shipped on the 17th per the website.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mammothjojo88:
Looks like stores might get it early also if that's the case.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Yeah they could be. At this point I really don't care anymore seeing how Sprint most likely won't give it to us early like how the Tmo people are. Kinda tired of checking for shipping info and nothing ever updating. The actual release date is right around the corner anyway so screw it.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mammothjojo88:
Guess we all have to occupy our time until then lol
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] brownchm:
The note 2 was my first note and i loved it as well. I was kind of hesitant to get it, but it won out because the droid dna didn't have either an sd card slot nor a removable battery. [emoji106]
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] rdcrds:
It just kills me that the other major phone carriers are shipping now and people will get them on Monday and Tuesday and of course it will be the middle or end of the week for us. Nothing stopping them from shipping early like TMO or Verizon. I would not care but we will be at the back of the line for the free SD card or watch. Plus the fact there was really no special on it besides that from sprint.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mammothjojo88:
Yeah same here. Shame really.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Yes it sucks but I'm sure they have a decent supply of all of the bonus items and you know some people just won't know about the bonus or forget a few days which will give us time to grab ours. After all, it would suck if we missed out on our choice of bonus item but it is free so can't complain too much. It says "Ships BY the 17th" and it's next day delivery so I think we will have it on or before the 17th.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mammothjojo88:
So shipping Wednesday then?
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
I would assume so, hopefully it's overnight express shipping. I did a Facebook chat with Sprint and they were talking about some "Direct 2 you" crap where a Sprint employee delivers and sets up you phone for you. You would have to make an appointment just for them to bring you your phone. I surely don't want or need this crap, I guess it's for older people who can't do it themselves? I'm pretty sure I opted out of this "service" so I'm double checking.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I have had my note 2 for 4 years now and I have only once used call and internet at the same time, and I was on WiFi anyway. So, yeah I suppose I will still be excited... :confused:
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] brownchm:
I think they have items for each carrier otherwise they would run out instantly because 250k of each would go fast.

---------- Post added at 05:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 AM ----------

Maybe they have already shipped them and they just wanted to surprise us when we got home to our new note 7.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mammothjojo88:
And so the week of the note 7 begins...
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] oscarm1985:
Patiently waiting for a note 7 like a kid on xmas morning
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mammothjojo88:
Called my local sprint store and they couldn't give me an estimated time of arrival, they also mentioned that me getting the device might be delayed, because of shipment. Guess they shipped by order or something.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] TripleAgent:
Ordered from Best Buy to avoid the mail-in rebate and get my 256GB SD card immediately. Made sure to ask if I can pick up the phone at store open. They confirmed they will already have them, so i can come in whenever i want on Friday.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] MILH0U5E:
T-Mobile people melting down is great... Amazed how many thought they would be getting the device early.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
When did you place your order?

---------- Post added at 06:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------

I've pretty much given up on milking any info out of the Sprint reps. Most of them barely speek English so it's a waste of time. We'll get them later this week, then all this craziness will come to an end.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mammothjojo88:
I placed my order the 10th in the morning.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jbadboy2007:
Then you might as well cancel your pre order because 100% it will not have talk and surf. Do your research we need volte from now on for that unless on wifi
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Dammit that means I can't surf the web during my 8 minutes used per month! [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] galland1:
Ha ha same here.[emoji4]
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
My bad I over estimated. Currently only 4 minutes and I don't remember even using them, weird.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] fatboypup:
As long as it's nothing like the nexus 6p launch ill be okay...
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkManX4lf:
Damn. I pre ordered on the day they started (8/3), Sprint charged my credit card but I still don't have an order status.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Same here, ordered 8/3 at like 6:45 pm EST and still not a peep. We have to hear something either today or tomorrow since it says "Will ship by the 17th". The wait is almost finally over.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] dvdslw:
Just putting it out there in case anyone didn't get the memo, Best Buy gives you the watch or sd card at the time of purchase. They also have the S7 Edge for $199.00 thru Saturday which also comes with the Card or Watch, my wife just got one yesterday and after handling it a few times it has me wondering why I'm wanting the Note 7 so bad? No S-pen but bigger battery and slightly smaller screen, I'm doing the two year deal so $199.00 or $349.00??? Samsclub also has the free gear or sd card plus a $150 Samsclub gift card offer and their 2 year price is said to be $296.00.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
I have thought about this, but I really like the S-Pen. I use it to make funny pictures and take notes. Yeah I know, I could get the S7 Edge and buy a stylus but I really dont want to carry around a stylus in my pocket all the time.

To each their own, enjoy your new S7 Edge.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mammothjojo88:
anything new with shipping and avaiilabilty?
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] allofthepeople:
I ordered right after midnight when it appeared on the site and still nothing here either... I have had everything go wrong with this order. The site was glitching and wouldn't let me add it to the right line so Chat Support told me to use another and they could just swap the Easy Pay. Of course they were wrong and can only swap the phone. I escalated it all the way to Executive Care and no one offered any solution that I thought wouldn't risk my place in line. I decided to keep it like it was and make them fix whatever issues come up as we get to them. After all that, I was really hoping for an early shipment, especially since my Note 4 is on it's last leg. :/
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] ruthlessbeatle:
Still nothing updated when I check the order just a few seconds ago. I was really hoping to come home to a surprise tonight.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] galland1:
Wait till they start shipping orders from yesterday before orders placed on the 3rd. lol
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkManX4lf:
Same here. Same bs about not finding my order number. This sucks especially after they charged my credit card.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] amase005:
I ordered on the 3rd from Sprint and nothing for me as well. I'm thinking we will get them on Thursday or Friday.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mammothjojo88:
so looks like tomorrow might be the shipping day. not too sure but all the buzz points to that.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] durandetto:
Mine still shows will ship by 8/17. I ordered 8/3 around 7 am. Hopefully we'll see some action later tonight or tomorrow morning. Sucks because I have tomorrow off and work 12 hours on Thursday. If it comes Thursday I'll have the wife drop it off to me.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Yeah it does suck, especially because they will need to be signed for. I have a funeral Thursday and work Friday so I'll probably go on the UPS app and see if I can set it up to hold for pickup. I was even considering canceling the order with Sprint and going with Best Buy so I can just pick it up in store Friday but since everything is so nuts about this phone I'd rather not forfeit my place in line with Sprint.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] durandetto:
I'll make sure my wife is home. Even if I have to handcuff her to the front porch. If I have to wait till Monday I will be t-mobile pre-order angry.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mammothjojo88:
I will wait until the store gets it and then hopefully get my call to pick it up.
