That's interesting no lag or stutter at all, smoother then nexus 6p. I must admit I do find that hard to believe however if what you say is accurate then I could give it more thought.

I wonder if anyone else has found it buttery smooth.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] masaforce:
im still waiting for my preorder. #TeamFinland #LateAf... Jesus christ i just want my note man.. been waiting for ages and everybody else already got it. Im already getting over the hype lol.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
Yes, my 6P feels slow in comparison to the Note 7 (Exynos).
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
I'll have to see this to believe it, the unit i tested in CPW stuttered lag. Even the reviewers on youtube all suggest there is lag.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] B3501:
I hate lag also and my Note 7 is great, I see no lag or stutter, no overheating. It runs great. I was worried about Touchwiz but it's fine.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
This will be a first if there's absolutely no stutter or lag in note 7. Still not convinced as every Samsung phone I've owned has shown lag.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ljaaya1946:
Mine also is smooth as silk, its a great phone, i'll wait for a new one. I gave my details to samsung customer care yesterday. I also kept my old phone, while i wait, i change the option of fast charging to off. Also i charge phone when i am awake and keep a eye on it. Honesty it doesn't even heat up while charging. I also sometimes shut it off when charging sometimes. I am not worried that it will catch fire. I think the ones that have a problem would show symptoms, just like us when we have problems we have symptoms!
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] B3501:
Agreed, there's just no lag or stutter. It's the first time I've seen it on a Touchwiz phone. It flys.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ljaaya1946:
yes agree, i had a note 3, 4 (long time) and short time with a 5, but note 7 is in another category all together in the way it operates. I didn't use touch wiz because i have been always using Nova with no animation. I really like this phone it's beautiful to look at great in the hand and works without fault.....
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bjhill2112:
I'm debating. Dropped mine today from about a foot onto tile and the screen shattered. Using a Spigen neo hybrid too... I'm so torn. Love the Note, but wtf!
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ljaaya1946:
Thats a real bummer!!! Good news i would think it is still covered for a replacement! But according to corning glass it could happen 20% of the time and 80% it should be ok. maybe the angle it hits the ground and surface. I for sure have no expertise in these matters...But i feel for you and all of us that invested in this phone....we shouldn't be experiments for these large companies to test their products!
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] JulesJam:
I returned for a refund and now am back using my Note5. But I will rebuy the Note7 once I am sure the battery issue is fixed.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jah:
Super smooth after disabling bloat and adjusting animation
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
How did Samsung mess up? Its a developing story and they responded as soon as they could. Do some of you sit anxiously waiting to catch your next breath??????

They've identified the issue within a couple of days and are working on a resolution plan which is why they are saying they'll contact us in the next week once stock and plans are understood!

The problem has been the messages coming from retailers and we all know they are full of sh.. just to get you off the phone!

Give them time. I'd rather this was managed that rushed with mistakes.

If you fancy an iphone then what are you doing on Android waiting for the note7. If you jump to the LG...good luck there. I've never even seen v10 in the UK! And how do you know they won't have an unlucky problem...**** happens

Do phones catch fire when turned off?

I'm sure the real reason for leaving phones with customers until exchange is that they know the risk is low so why inconvenience customers by taking their phones off them and potentially leaving them without and at the back of the queue having refunded them. It doesn't work.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
Wow man. Easy tiger I think people have the right to be annoyed frustrated considering the nature of the problem. Battery exploding I mean it's pretty bad, yes they are trying to resolve the issue but people expect better especially when you fork out around £700.

As for sharing info, experience, sentiments and considering other options is nothing new. No one should feel threatened by it. This is the way of the world, it maybe not right or wrong but it's the way it is.

So dude join the discussion and take it easy.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
Sounds like it's all over for note 7, at best maybe available in select markets.

Thorough testing could take months which will impact the launch of S8.

Best start thinking about purchasing another phone or keep the old one.

Good alternatives out there Iphone 7 plus, pixel XL, Lg v20

I wonder the people who voted to wait for replacement will be doing now?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Plus Carriers are working on deactivating all imei on all Note 7, so Note 7 will be brainless, for safety that will make everyone turn in the Note 7.

Polls tell the Truth

rest is just a hype to give Samsung a bad name

Love my Note 7 keeping it for sure ;)
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
It's all over boys.

Someone is gonna get a beating in Samsung.

Glad I preordered my Pixel XL.

Using oneplus 3 in the meantime which isn't bad considering it's only 329.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
Rumour flying about which will interest all those note 7 lovers. Apparently there will be several variants of S8 and variant will have 5.5 screen with 4K screen and s pen. So those who are holding of buying anything at this time best wait till mar and see what Samung launches.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] statikk1:
We've had Note 1 2 3 4 5. Now bad note7 and now no note 8. Why?! Why suddenly ignore all the people that have bought and supported the notes over the years.

Love the 5.7" inch screen and the s-pen. Prefer to have a differentiated name to the s series. Note has been in it's own class despite finally sharing hardware specs with S7

Come on Samsung.. Get your act together and bring us Galaxy Note 8 next year.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
5.5 inch screen is going the wrong direction lol. Should be 6" and ditch the curved BS.

Now that would be nice
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
I couldn't agree more curved looks good but not practical. Should be edge to edge screen, 6" is bit too big for most but 5.7" is just right. That would be a winner.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
Explosive phone, that image is going to be impossible to get rid of.

Even if some consumers forgive samsung their competitors will keep reminding the rest. Far too much bad publicity.

It makes sense to make note 8 and to rename it S8 pen, or something like that.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] statikk1:
At this point it's wishes and speculations. Let's see what Samsung decides.

Bottom line is the phone is still going to be a Samsung.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] koppee1:
Check the news. Samsung is offering Korean note 7 owners a half price upgrade to the note 8. They haven't committed the same for the rest of the world.

There will be a2 week delay for s8 production to find out what caused the fires. Either way, I think I'm staying away from Samsung phones for a few years. Until I'm sure they gotten things sorted out.

I've already pre ordered my v20 and will pick it up this weekend. And ill return note 7 after that...
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
I'm so tempted by lg v20 the only thing it's not available in the UK. Stupid strategy again by lg, launch a pile of crap like g5.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
We all know things can go wrong. But expecting a solution within 2 or 3 days really is expecting a bit much dude.

I wonder how many other makes phones have caught fire without recall. Bend gate for instance still happens now. Yet apple ignore it.

I'm saying instead of getting upset (because stories are inconsistent), log the phone with Samsung then wait for a response.

No one's getting heated here. I just find it amazing the poll shows how little patience people have for a solution.

Personally I think Samsung in the UK have done a good job managing this. Cpw and the likes certainly haven't.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
That's pretty poor cracked from a foot high within a case. That's very concerning, I think that's most common type of drop. You would expect it to be safe from that sort of height even without a case.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
wow thought the GG5 was supposed to protect from that. Seen a few now with cracked edges and broken screens.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
I think the poll so far suggests most of the voters are going to wait for a replacement.

You're right we should be more patient but equally when there's a mess up its important to hold these multi billion dollar cooperations to account. I think it's unfair the man on the street loses out in most instances.

Inmho samsung are trying to rectify this issue as best as they can.

Now for something a bit political

We are a consumer society constantly targeted nay bombarded by ads to buy whether we need it or not. We just can't get enough, smartphones are the new drug. In some places people can't afford to eat but still have an expensive phone but no credit.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
Looks like most are willing to wait for replacement.

IPhone 7 plus is too tempting and this note 7 delay has been good for me.

Buhbye. Enjoy those fugly wireless earbuds. Just tell people that you are ok and no one stuck cigarettes in your years.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
Lol. Come on mate give credit where credit is due. Apple sure know How to sell a product though.

I'm a massive Android fan but since apple launched plus size I've been pretty much sold. The new home button function with the jet black premium finish

The only thing missing notification light.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] situman:
Yes they do know how to sell a product. The same thing over and over again. They do make good hardware and software, but the fact they treat us like idiots and some uninformed consumers is insulting. Samsung did the same thing with the S4 and S5 and I said no thanks.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
True that's where Samsung lost due to their arrogance and compliance, not listening to thier fans.

Samsung need to either completely revamp ugly laggy touchwiz or ditch it, that's my biggest gripe. Put it down it's too heavy, the penny should have dropped by now.

Apple this year have pushed the boat out and definetly out did Samsung.

I think apple is going to outsell all Samsung phone line put together.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mvtm:
I think i'm going to ask Samsung.com ecommerce team a full refund which i can. And i'm going to preorder the 265GB iPhone 7 Plus in 2 days. I already been refunded and allowed to keep the Note 7 cases by amazon, and i also got the 256GB card, that if i pull the trigger on the iPhone... I will sell it.

Too much problems for me with Samsung over faulty units. I have not owned an iPhone since 2007, and i think i just had enough. I change my Sammy phones every 6 or 12 months because they fail me (motherboard,overheat, defective unit etc)
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] acheney1990:
Dropped mine day one from about 4 inches. It did land toward the edge part and wasn't in a case. Shattered the corner. Sucks I can't use this without a case, feels so much nicer.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
I bought a UAG case from amazon. Can I get a refund and keep case?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mvtm:
They allowed me, i explicitly told that i would wish to ask for a refund but that i cannot return the case. My brother who has the case under his possession is leaving the country and doesn't have time to return/ arrange a trip to UPS, Fedex or etc so i asked politely is it would be possible for me to get the refund without the need of returning the case.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] colint3:
I also found it buttery smooth and very fast. I am quite happy to wait for a replacement. Kudos to Samsung for how fast they have issued a recall. Can you imagine Apple doing a worldwide recall.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
No way 4" and shattered the corner!! Boy that's a fail.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
It's a nightmare sorting out this mess but it's shocking it happened in the first place.

Glad it's buttery smooth for once but I've read some comments to disable animations and remove bloatware to have lag free experience. This was also the advice for last year models and the year before, unacceptable don't you think?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
Mine is buttery smooth and lag free on stock with animations on. Honestly. I'd suggest you try and get a weeks use with one (difficult at the moment I know).
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] masaforce:
1. Im still waiting for my phone

2. I like the note7 more than the iphone 7+

3. Im tired of apple and ios devices, after using only apple phones for 5 years (i have all iphones from 4 to 6 and The 6+.

4. Im overall in love with the note 7s features.

5. Almost laughed when i heard that that guy is buying a 264gb iphone. Jesus christ bro you need to calm your sht, are you gonna install gta 5 on that phone? Oh god these android fanboys moving to ios..

---------- Post added at 09:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 AM ----------

Okay samsung fanboy, calm your tits. Are you really going to waste your money on buying a iphone 7 plus, WITH 264 GIGS OF MEMORY. Jesus christ you clearly know nothing about apple devices. If you buy a iphone, whatever you do u can NEVER fill up a 64 gig storage. Its enough for anyone. 128 gigs is already too much. ~ Masaforce the iDevice expert since 2011.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
I have over 200gigs of pro photos I like to keep on hand to view, not in the cloud. So id use the storage easily. Not impossible to fill up at all.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
It's difficult to fill up 265gb memory. internal memory is always better then external. It performs far better, many use their mobile for recording 4K video high res pics daily and with 265gb you will never have to compromise what you keep and delete. For me 128gb is more then enough. I've managed to fill my 64gb card on my android phone. Almost filled 80gb on my iPhone 6s Plus. I've got loads of apps music pics videos games.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] masaforce:
Ive never managed to fill any of my 64 gig iphones. Still always had all games i could think of on em and everything. 19997654 photos too

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
I was wondering with all these different issues being reported with note 7 was it perhaps rushed out just to beat iPhone 7 launch?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] situman:
I'm fine with Touchwiz as a matter of fact. IOS is light because you can't do anything other than change your wallpaper. Doesnt take a genius to update IOS.

I doubt Apple outdid Samsung in terms of design and innovation this year or for the last 2 to 3 years as a matter of fact. I can't think of one thing that they did that made me go "damn Apple is back." Its more of the same. And those ridiculous BT earbuds.

It's unfortunate for Samsung with the negative headline right when its biggest rival is releasing new phones. I still, in some ways, believe this is some sort of publicity stunt to keep the Note 7 in the headlines. Every new phone introduction has reports of batteries exploding.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mvtm:
I'm a super power user. I have a 64GB S6 Edge that is full and i have to keep deleting uninstalling stuff,and also a LG G3 with 120 gb full (i dont remember, well the maximum storage the G3 had with a high speed SD). I understand 128GB are too little for me. I install a lot of 10GB games, i overclock my phone, i keep most of my data on apps and then in photos.

I do crazy bunch of stuff with my phone, am not partial to one brand or the other. Like right now for me, it is the same the Note 7 or the 7 Plus, i might be (Today!), keep the Note 7 as i just woke up today when yesterday i was seriously picking the iPhone, that the screen difference... maybe it would impact me of going away from the Amoled, i've been using for 7 years or so.

I'm really torn in between, will see a lot of iPhone 7 Plus pics... I have only 2, most 3 days to decide.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
I've used both 6s plus and S7 edge I was also concerned prior to purchasing 6s plus about the screen resolution but after several days I couldn't really be bothered as iPhone worked flawlessly.

Now that I've got jailbreak it gives it whole new lease. I must admit rooting losing, flashing roms got too risky especiallyas you lose warranty.

Also apple jailbreak tweaks are pretty neat and work well. Don't need to flash rom or create rom to have the look or tweak you want.

It's less complicated and risky without having to lose warranty.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jackdforme:
I am with you. Been android for year and love where it is today. Love my note 7 but like a fickle child I am now seeing the iphone and the last one I has was the 5 and left it because it was small and sucked. This one is shiny, new, large and probably still sucks, but DAMN that marketing machine. I found myself in an IOS trance for a full hour yesterday combing review sites etc.

Here is what I said to myself to stop

YES ANDROID IS LESS FLUID. YES IPHONES ARE THIN. YES THE NEW CAMERA IS PROBABLY GOOD

NOOOOOOOOOO, STOPPPP.

NO WIRELESS CHARGING

TERRIBLE SCREEN TO BODY RATIO

IOS IS A TWEEN GIRLS BEDROOM OF A COLOR PALATE THAT YOU CAN'T CHANGE

WIDGETS

NOTIFICATIONS

MAPS

MAIL APP

SD CARD

SO MANY MORE BUT MOSTLY **** APPLE FOR SELLING ME LAST YEARS HARDWARE AT THIS YEARS PRICES

I hope that helps you pinch and wake up.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dlang123:
I have a Note 7. Originally planned on picking up a replacement Note 7 when they released. But with the FAA bans coming and crap, and the way that Samsung did the voluntary recall, I'm more worried that it is going to be a sticky mess with the phone. Sure there are going to be refurbs come up soon. Sure the one I swap for won't explode (probably), but I'm more worried on in a year, when I buy a new device and go and sell my Note 7. How will anyone know my Note 7 is safe, besides me saying "Yeah I did the recall". They don't seem to be declaring a list of bad serials. Just seems like there is going to be a sticky mess for a while.

My problem is I sold my Note 5 the first week I got the 7. I have no phone to fall back on. I am thinking of picking the IP7+ up just to have something for 6 months (getting one for the wife anyhow) and then resell if I really hate it. They keep value a while. Moto Z Force? Looks interesting, but I am not a fan of Lenovo. No idea what I am going to do, but have decided I believe to return the Note 7, and just slum it for a year.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jackdforme:
Slum it with an iphone 7+?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dlang123:
Yeah. I haven't had an iPhone since probably the 4? Maybe even 3GS? Mainly because 4G hit our area early, and I locked into unlimited on Verizon at the same time so have been on Android. Rest of the family have iPhones, but I'm the geek that has to fix all their stuff. Kinda feels like slumming it going to Apple.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jackdforme:
I know, I get the feeling after a week with it I am going to be like, wow this POS is big and I hate IOS.

Plus I am a G apps user so everything in my life is google. I don't think I can do it. I have until 5PM today to decide...
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kansatsusha:
They take too long to re-release it and i might wait to go to S8 or something else. Don't think I be going to iphone7
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mvtm:
The Gorilla Glass 5 issues concerns me also.

The way i see it, i can choose between a Coral Blue Galaxy Note 7 320GB (already have the 256 Evo) or a Jet Black iPhone 7 Plus 256GB.

I'm more inclining to my Note 7 as i would enjoy more the S pen than the stereo speakers, but what i find intriguing about the iPhone is the dual camera. I think i still like more the Note 7 but i would have to go with the recall, there's no way i could use my current Note 7 with the battery issues.

If you tell me to pick. If my current Note 7 with the battery issue or the iPhone 7 Plus i would go with the iPhone.

But if i could choose between a well Note 7 and a iPhone 7 Plus... i might go the Note 7, just because i'm used to android, like amoled screens and the s-pen always on would be handy for me.

My brother comes to my country this Sunday. I can tell him to bring me my Note 7, or i can tell him to UPS it back to Samsung.com for replacement this Saturday. It all depends how much would i be willing to wait for the Note 7 to reach my hands. I do not live in the US.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dlang123:
This is about the way I feel. And I keep bouncing back and forth. I have an iPad so iOS isn't new territory to me.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BarryH_GEG:
Assuming folks here keep their phone a year or longer, what's really changed? The Note7 launched in some markets 8/18 and I got mine in the U.S. on August 15th. That's three weeks ago. Other region's launches may be delayed up to 4 weeks. It's the same phone I wanted to buy three weeks ago and now that I've used it I'm thrilled with it.

The exchange program is a pain in the ass but it doesn't change the phone or people's motivation for buying it in the first place. Following the recall on XDA has been a study of human behavior. The anger, indignation, fear, hostility and emotion is a bit bizarre when applied to the facts. Those facts are some Note7's have or may have a battery problem which can cause them to overheat. Samsung doesn't appear to know which individual phones are specifically affected so they're replacing them all. Hence the pain in the ass. So if folks are abandoning Samsung and/or the Note7 on emotional grounds that's their prerogative. But realistically nothing's changed in terms of the phone itself. Personally, I'm keeping my original possibly hazardous Note7 for six months or until I knick the aluminum frame or scratch the glass. So with a new phone on stand-by I'll have a pristine phone for the full year I'll have it. To me that's a gain, not a loss. YMMV.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jackdforme:
I agree. Buttttt, something new and shiny happened while we have a new opportunity to have had the phone and gotten rid of that new car smell. When do you ever get to rent a new car not on vacation? Seriously I know I am a mess but the fact remains that I am a mess.
