[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] TorrentzRock:
Your point is? Yes, the Note 7 has the latest 802.11ac chipset. I also have a fairly new Netgear R6400 dual band ac router. Of ALL the devices in my home, our Note 7's and that router are the most recent. Therefore, they should definitely play nice together OR at the very least - as good as the considerably older devices I have referenced.

The whole point of this thread is pointing out that I believe there is an issue with the firmware or hardware on some of these devices and seeking possible solutions. I am damn near 100 percent certain that it is not an issue with anything external to the phone.

I have diminished wifi speed (compared to my much older Note 4) at every wireless AP that I connect to on a regular basis - not only at home.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
My point is that there may in fact be an issue with the chipset, but unless you can compare it to another device with the same one, you cannot find the true root cause.

I'm going to test my wife's note 7 when she gets home from work
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] TorrentzRock:
Did you miss the part where I said that my wife has a Note 7 as well? Hers is exhibiting the very same behavior. My buddy has the S7 Active (ATT) and, when connected to my network at home, gets the full speed offered by my connection.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
Nope, didn't miss it. I was referring to testing with another device that has the same chipset. That could be the S7 Edge, or S7 as your buddy has. So in that case, there probably is an issue with your device(s). I remember a similar WiFi Issues post in the Note 5 forum also. I was lucky enough to not have an affected device, but they did exist.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Compusmurf:
posts all over the other N7 forums, android central, reddit. We're NOT alone.

My phone my pc 1 IP apart, both connected to AC, both show 866Mbps connection.

I use speedtest.net, same location selected,

My pc gives 153/160 down/up

My wife's S7 Edge, 152/153

My note 7: 88/55

Other than the speedtest.net numbers, it doesn't feel slow, I transferred a ton of data back and forth and it felt full speed. What's the odds the app is jacked?

Here's why I ask that. I go to beta.speedtest.net in the samsung browser, request desktop version and run the same test and I'm showing nearly full speeds there. 148/142 which is close to my enough to be a statistic rounding error to my 150/150 Fios connection but in the speedtest.net app, it's showing what, 1/2 that?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] DVS_Sokar:
The best way to test your local Wifi Connection and considerations:

1. Be sure your Note 7 is your ONLY device connected on your access point.

2. Be sure to close all applications possible on your Note 7

3. Be sure that your Router Software is upgraded to the current version

Expectations and possible reason for variance:

1. By having multiple devices running the background data or active port traffic can be split between your devices in turn causing a slower connection results using Speed Test. (Think outside the box on this a lot of common digital devices have connectivity you may not think of like your Xbox One, PS4, Wii, Wii U and devices like wifi enabled Auto Syncing wall Clocks. (This impact can be marginal or significant depending on the devices and what they are doing.)

2. Know the cap for your Wifi Router specification. If you're connecting on Wireless G to a Wireless G Router the distance, obstructive materials in the walls or around the access point could interfere.

3. Do not have your router next to devices that can generate line noise and therefore interrupt your routers constant power such as Fish Tank motors, Refrigerators and Personal Fans. These items have motors that can cause cooper line noise for the powered circuit and in turn can cause "Dirty" power to be served to devices on the same circuit.

4. If someone in the house is watching netflix, streaming audio or playing online games this of course will influence the data throughput to other devices on the network. QoS Services and TCP enhancements can modulate a PC's throughput and therefore "Strain" your network connections.

The steps above and reason above can explain significant changes in the throughput you observe in running your "Speed Test". While many are aware of these conditions or situations many less informed may not make the connection.

This is why I take user posting of wifi speeds with a big grain of salt there are many things that can influence your connection. For those that say well I am connected to the network in the same conditions my past phone had well did you take in account you "Added" another device. If your old phone was connected and your new one is connected you did "Add" another device that siphons off data.

If you test your wifi under realistic expectations there can be other variables such as the Channel your wifi is operating on is similar to others in your area or god forbid your running a unsecure network and your neighbors are using your wifi without your knowledge.

Just food for thought about this scenario.

I am by no means saying that the Wifi radio is good/bad I just think you should give a realistic test environment for "real" numbers.

Thanks,
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] TorrentzRock:
There is a certain comfort in knowing that I am not the only one Before there is a solution there has to be a problem.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
Try Fast.com. That is the speedtest for Netflix in order to see if you're being throttled by your ISP. Not that throttling applies here, but it is a test separate from SpeedTest.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Compusmurf:
That's what I'm saying. I don't know if there IS a problem.

Using speedtest from the default browser on the phone I get readings I would expect, but using the speedtest.net APP, I get about 1/2 or less of the speed I would expect.

using another speedtest site, dslreports speedtest, I'm getting expected speeds.

---------- Post added at 08:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 PM ----------

Fast.com matches my pc. :) Only thing that seems to be lying is the speedtest.net APP
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
That is a good sign it may be an app issue. I know the iOS SpeedTest.net app has seen a bunch of updates recently due to incorrect results.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] TorrentzRock:
So, Speedtest beta (browser) is consistent (Chrome, Firefox, and Samsung) with Speedtest app. Fast(dot)com is slow as well. I have booted to recovery and cleared the cache partition, reset network settings (backup and reset), and still no luck.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Chr0nicDreamz:
Ran speed test on my wife's Note 7, same results as mine. Her S6 fly's through it though.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] TorrentzRock:
Well, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I found a fix. The bad news is that the remedy is a factory reset. I do have to say, the built in backup and restore (through Sammy, not Google) works amazingly well. It takes forever but it works. I had numerous folders in the app drawer and on the home screens and it restored every last one.

I have blazing fast internet speed again.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Chr0nicDreamz:
So, is this an issue with smartswitch?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] TorrentzRock:
My thoughts exactly. Both me and my wife used Smart Switch to transfer from our rooted, TEKHD rom running Note 4's

Home wifi:

LTE:

The icon just shows 4g now, not lte - clearly lte speed though. Tmobile users, are yours like that as well?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Chr0nicDreamz:
Wow, huge difference. Look like an fr is in my future.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] TorrentzRock:
It is a huge difference and now it works as I would expect from a 900 dollar device. Factory reset is always a pain. Setting up a smartphone the way zi like it is time consuming. However, the backup / reset built in was a huge help in saving some time.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Compusmurf:
You know.... You probably could have gone into "safe mode" and done the wipe wifi/bt/cell part and avoided a full reset.

Sorry I didn't think about that before you wiped. oops? :angel:
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] TorrentzRock:
I tried that also, it didn't fix the issue.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Compusmurf:
Should have unless there was some other app or something causing you issues. Fortunately multiple different speedtest sites are telling me 1 thing and the app is saying different. Knock on wood, don't think I'm having "real" issues.

I wish I had faith in the backup app like you do. Mine hasn't ever completed a backup. Always fails at 68% on the app/apk/data settings.

Of course, I have a few specialized apps from work that don't appreciate backups. (Main reason I don't want to reset and experiment, to much of a pain to reconfigure)

As long as you have it worked out for you, awesome. :)
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Chr0nicDreamz:
yeah buddy, FR did it for me, no longer seems to struggle in hitting that 180Mbps down, its almost instant.

OP: make sure you're note 7 isn't using an IPv6 address. This was a problem that I had also with my note 4 and note 5. I changed to IPv4 and everything was resolved.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Compusmurf:
Did you do that on the phone or the router?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] i killed tupac:
i just did a side by side of my Note 7 on wifi, got 56.45 down, 2.45 up. The S6 got the same.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] TorrentzRock:
The problem has returned. This is maddening.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Compusmurf:
Maybe the update which TMOB hasn't done yet will fix it. :) Seems like most others have already received it.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] TorrentzRock:

[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Compusmurf:
August update. Go visit the OTHER note 7 subforums here. :)
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Chr0nicDreamz:
No issues here. Been going strong since the fr
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] TorrentzRock:
I decided that I just have a dud. I am convinced that something just isn't right with my device. In addition to the slow speeds, it is often hot to the touch, and I am lucky to get 5-6 hours on a charge if I am using it at all.

After much argument, threats to take my 4 lines of service elsewhere, and a little cussing - I convinced TMO to send me a replacement phone prior to returning this turd.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] NXLTrauma25:
I was having the same issue and after three or four times of factory resetting I found the issue, at least for me. It was smart switch. Once I set it up clean I was fine. Not sure if it was an app or series of apps that had bad data (considering smart switch rarely transfers the actual data of an app I doubt this) or if it was smart switch itself.

Now my speeds are fine.

Sorry that it wasn't something simple like that for you.

Im having a problem WITH the gallery and is that when i receive a pic from let's say a whatapps group chat, it appears in the camera roll of the stock camera. Is there a walk around or fix to this?

Maybe change the gallery for another?

In the s7 this doesnt happens.

Thanks for the help
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] pete4k:
I'm facing the same issue, whole gallery is messed up. I have thousands of pictures neatly sorted in different folders and gallery mixes them all up together and shows them in date order, absolutely the last thing i want.

post a fix if you find one.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] efrommel:
anyone having this problem?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] xile6:
not having this problem.

Are you guys using "Albums"?

pictures or events will go by date

albums will be by folder A-Z and in each photo it will be by date
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] efrommel:
you use whatapp? If you receive a pic from a group or person is going to appear in the camera roll when you open the stock samsung camera.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] SBERG117:
Did you hit the albums tab up top??? My Gallery works fine...
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] xile6:
No dont use it. But i use other apps and there photos either go into a folder download or its labelt with the apps name.

So it could be a problem with whatsapp downloading into the dcim folder.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] efrommel:
no WA is downloading to the WA folder, the thing is that is viabable in the camera. this doesnt happend on the s7 edge
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] efrommel:
yes, i hit it. the problem is not in the gallery app, is in the camera after you receive a pic from WA it shows in the camera like you have take that pic
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] xile6:
Oh ok i think i get what your saying.

You go to gallery and its in WA alone with your camera folder download etc...

But when you open the camera app and scroll through the pictures. You see all your folders mix in by date?

VS only whata in the camera folder?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] efrommel:
Exactly. in the s7 you will see only the pics taken not every pic by date
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] xile6:
Yea i just tested that out.

I dont remember it doing that on the s7 edge.

It probably has to do with the new camera app.

If enough peopke submit it to samsung via online chat or calling then. They will end up fixing it.

Simply tell then its a Security risk.

I remember they updated the s7 edge. Befor you could doble tap to open camera. Take a picture then view the other pictures in the camera phot.

When they updated it it has a lock screen and wont let you view the other photos until you unlock the phone.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] pete4k:
Is gallery part of Samsung software or is it part of Android?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] xile6:
gallery is android but the camera app is sumsung.

And the problem is the way they are talking to each other.

but both app start from the basic android code so its possible they coded the gallery different, but most of the time the gallery remands the same and the camera app is the only one that gets change.

I remember pull camera app from different phones long ago.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] pete4k:
When you open gallery, it defaults to show all pics together, from all different folders, sorted by date. Now, inside gallery you can choose albums tab, that shows it properly in folders, but when camera access gallery, you dont get album option anymore and it's a mess. It's gallery issue, I don't like the way it works now, but I guess I would have to be rooted to install older version? And we don't have root yet, SUCKS.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] efrommel:

[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] pete4k:
there is something seriously wrong with gallery, or i did something somehow: now gallery picks up program icons as pictures and displays them in gallery under both tabs: pictures and albums. I have about 8 folders with different themed pics, it shows more than 50, mostly single icons. I think I know what it is but never had anything like that on my older phone.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] dkb218:
The link in the camera app to Gallery wasn't given the camera sub-folder address. Hence the reason it picks up everything in the gallery. Simple enough fix for Samsung.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] pete4k:
How about gallery showing all program icons together with pictures on my phone? I suspect it has something to do with "no media" marker but never seen anything like that on any of my older phones. And the idea of throwing all pictures together and showing them in date order somehow doesn't make any sense to me, I mean there is probably very good reason pictures are in different folders and by default camera uses date as name, so they're sorted by date already, even if shown in alphabetical order.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] efrommel:
its the same. like dkb218 said the is linking to the gallery instead of going to the subfolder of the camera. I hope samsung throw a update to this stupid bug. I don't get it man, the s7 have the same cpu is supposed to be more optimized, not worse than the s7

If your device resolution is 1440x2560, then it is an Oppo Find 7, not 7a.

My Find 7 also experience the same thing with all Cyanogenmod-Based ROMs because our device seem to have different LCD panels than those in the hands of Cyanogenmod developers, so everything that is based on CM will suffer the same fate.

The only custom rom that works (even better than color os, I should tell you) is OmniROM. Be sure to follow all their instructions before flashing.

I'm in the mood of a newer android phone no larger than 5.5" but OmniROM support list is very short. I appreciate it if anyone can recommend a 2016 android phone that can run OmniROM.
