It will if you enable pen detection while it's inside the device. Says it will use more battery as the S-Pen Digitizer will be always activated, but I don't know how much could drain it.

My Note7 from Singtel has 2 stuck/dead pixels, waiting on a replacement confirmation from them. Other then that I didn't noticed anything else yet.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] shadowpartner:
freeze and bootloop, frequently requiring a simulated battery pull. Starhub set, updated firmware.

Went to samsung and they reflashed my firmware, things were fine for about 6 hours before the freezing occurred again, and it got progressively worse till now my phone can't even be used.

looks more like exynos batch problem , havent heard much on the SD variant , but SG doesnt have an SD variant. was about to buy this week . seeing all the issues will wait for a while .. but sad to see many excited people pre order to get handset before others and now sitting in Service centre...

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] flyinj54:
It depends on where you bought the phone from. It's being handled by the resellers of the device mostly. Where did you buy your phone from?

I asked SingTel and Samsung, they will announce the exchange program next week.

Honestly, mine is working fine. I still hope they can narrow down a way to prevent unnecessary exchange.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] e2daD:
I received a message from the cellphone seller stating that after contacting Samsung my phone was in the 1st line of production which shouldn't have any issues (based on Imei). Only the 2nd and 3rd lines were the "bad ones". I wonder if this is true or not.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] flyinj54:
I read elsewhere that an eBay seller says stated that the 1st round of phones are the bad ones and the 2nd round of phones don't have any issues. I think alot of these sellers are trying to get out of the exchange program so they don't have to deal with it. I think the best bet is to contact Samsung direct and find out what is really going on. As far as I know per Samsung every note 7 is recalled period.

Dun think they will even on your phone to check at all. Probably just take and give you a new one.

Yes, all Singapore models are dual sim models.

The new stock will probably be in from October. After the exchange programme.

How are we supposed to know we have been given the newer versions?

The US gets a blue circle on the box, Canada a black square on the box.

I havent read anything about FD units from Singapore?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BozQ:
There will be an updated firmware later this month. The safe batteries will be indicated by a green battery bar instead of white.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Yeah read that much....not thrilled about it either...what an eyesore it will be.

Hope its green during charging only.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BozQ:
Considering that Samsung devices are being restricted on planes, they are going to need a better visual indicator than just a green icon.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BozQ:
Just got mine exchanged at Suntec earlier.

Looks like Samsung's Concierge members has its perks after all. The exchange was quick and a breeze.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] phantomkids:
What kind of gift(compensation) did they offer?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chyeo1979:

[MENTION=2265284]BozQ[/MENTION]

Do you got the green battery icon?

When and where was this replacement unit produced?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BozQ:
They gave a 3x$10 Capitaland Voucher and one screen protector. Probably original Samsung one. But I kind of screwed up. So maybe I'll just get another one from the shop.

They also gave a goodie bag. In it, a small bag of Famous Amos cookies, bottle of water and cotton candy.

This firmware is not released yet. So battery icon is still white.

But I checked and I think it's still SDI battery.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] phantomkids:
How do you check your battery, and which shop sells the original Samsung screen protector, i went to a few shop, they didn't seems to carry them.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BozQ:
The only legit way to get it is to get this package. If I remember correctly, it's the wireless charger pad, with clear casing and the screen protector for $148.

If you want the screen protector alone, you have to buy online.

Edit - read this to identify the battery.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] maanz "L":
Hi Bros...

Just sharing,

Do u guys have the "little black square" on yr phone box label (screenshot below) when u do the replacements and the "green battery" on yr devices?

Those are not without "little black square" and the "green battery" may not be "real replacements".

" it seems that Samsung is not following these signs for the replacement units. According to the users who have received the replacement devices, there is no white sticker with a blue S on the white barcode label of the boxes. Instead, the small black square is much larger...

Samsung has launched the Galaxy Note 7 IMEI tool, which will allow customers to check online if the smartphone that they have acquired is among the ones with possible risks of a faulty battery or among the replacement units.

The tool, which can be accessed through the official page for the Galaxy Note 7 global recall, will only require users to input the unique IMEI number of their device. The IMEI number can be found on the packaging of the smartphone and on the back of the device. In addition, the IMEI number is also listed in the Status option buried within the Galaxy Note 7's Settings menu."
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] itsjustbilly:
I too have been having the problems you described, intermittently, freezing mid use, getting warm etc, but it has spells where it gets much much worse.

The phone wouldnt boot, wouldnt go into recovery, would partially boot then freeze, would not "hard reset" would not go into recovery, all intermittently.

I couldnt do a factory reset (which i thought might help) as although i managed to get to recovery (after about 5 tries) it couldnt read any of the memory, maybe this is whats causing the exynos phones to lock up, memory errors?

My phone booted about twenty minutes after the photo was taken, and im writing this post on the phone i was having issues with without doing a factory reset (because it didnt work when i tried) but itll be back sure as day, and ill be very frustrated. I hope my replacement doesnt do the same

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BozQ:
The thing is, here in Singapore is unlike US. The telcos will not exchange our Note 7s to another phone, not even another Samsung one. They've pushed all that responsibility to Samsung directly. Makes sense considering we're a small country.

I'm just speculating here, my best guess is, we could be given an S7 Edge, that's their next best model. Plus some free gifts, like the Samsung VR.

Or an alternative option is a $900-$1000 Samsung voucher. We can use it for other Samsung products like TV or washing machines, assuming those don't blow up either.

If you had a previous appointment to have the phone exchanged, you can forget it now. The halt in sales and exchange is worldwide.

Otherwise, Samsung SG just carry on what they do. An update from their Facebook page says they're in talks with telcos to come up with a solution in light of this development. So stay tuned.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BozQ:
Now the latest news is Note 7 is permanently discontinued. On the international level.

Still nothing from SG.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BozQ:

Samsung is now in discussion with telcos how to go ahead from here. Meanwhile, Samsung Mobile Singapore's Facebook page is in meltdown. With majority of complaints demanding a refund.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BozQ:
So...for Singapore. The announcement is...

Exchange for an S7 or S7 Edge, with the difference refunded back to you.

Or get a full refund.

Samsung Concierge members will be sorted out too.

That's the initial announcement. Finer details are being ironed out now between Samsung, telcos and retailers.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BozQ:
Starting 26 October, make an appointment to have your Note 7 exchanged for a S7 Edge. No option for refular S7.

Or opt for full refund via cheque. Actual amount to refund is still being sorted out.

If you're a concierge member, it will be transferred and extended to the S7 Edge. Or $38 refunded to you if you choose refund option.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BozQ:
Samsung SG has an update.

Exchange for an S7 Edge and get $250 refund.

Or get a full refund at retail price of SGD$1168. Regardless whether you purchased it from a store or a contract with a Telco.

Samsung will also refund any official accessories purchased at retail price. Mostly the cases and battery packs.

Concierge members who choose to exchange will have their membership transfered and extend to the S7 Edge. Otherwise, $38 will be refunded together with the Note 7.

The exchange/refund programme is only valid from 26 Oct to 5 Nov.

The lens kit is not due for a refund.
