[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
Here's something odd. I got one of the first of AT&T's first batch on August 14th. I exchanged it today for a green battery replacement. Configured the exact same way the new one is noticeably smoother and snappier. The previous phone would get jaggy when scrolling and transitioning every once in a while but not regularly. It had the latest update AT&T pushed out after launch (itself an iteration ahead of T-Mobile) which is the same firmware that came pre-installed on the new one. The only difference was the 132ishMB update that made the battery green which I installed right after getting the new phone. So either: A) something I did configuring my old phone slowed it down, B) there's a h/w or s/w difference between the two, or C) there's more to the 132ishMB update than turning the battery green. Regardless I'm even happier than I was with the original death defying phone.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jmitr:
Let me try to help here.

Ill go over my device history quickly.

I started with pdas in 2003 and then windows mobile. I was using an HTC Kaiser when the first Iphone came out.

I switched to Android with the HTC Desire in early 2010. I have mainly been an HTC guy since then with the Desire HD, One V, S, X, One M7, M8 then M9. I have had other devices as back up phones.

My son had a Nexus 4, HTC M8, and now a Nexus 6p

My Wife had an Iphone4 and Ipad 2 then discovered Android with the S3. She upgraded to the Note 4 when it came out. I bought my Mother in Law the Note 5.

My first Tablet was the original Samsung 10.1 then the Nexus 7 and now Nexus 9. I use an Ipad at work as an "EFB" (electronic flight bag). That is what we use for all manuals and plates. I fly the Airbus for Air Canada.

So yeah, I'm a big techie an a "fan of technology". I have mainly been an HTC fan but have experience with numerous other brands including Nexus handsets and Tablets. I feel I am qualified to give an opinion as I am fairly unbiased. Okay, that's not quite true. I am a huge HTC fanboy (who is currently using a Note 7).

So, why did I switch? I'll tell you.

1. Screen size.

Yup, biggest point.

2. Screen quality

Nothing beats Samsung here. I prefer my M7 screen to my M8 or M9 truthfully (colour accuracy) but the Note series (or Samsung in general) beats the Nexus 6p.

3. S pen

My Wife doesn't use hers. I have missed mine since retiring my last stylus phone the HTC Touch (Vogue). Loving it again.

4. Camera

Not the best, but the most consistent. Anand Tech's latest review said the M10 beats the S7 and Note 7 but hey, not by enough of a margin for me.

So, why didn't I wait for the Pixel phone? Quite frankly 5.7 inches of full on screen (no software buttons) makes a huge difference over 5.5. Also, I am willing to bet screen quality is better. Did I mention the S pen?

What do I miss? Well HTC has nailed touch response. The M7 was good, the M9 was the best. The Note 7? Meh. Not bad at all but HTC has it beat. And....Sense. Touchwiz has grown up, but sometimes the changes feel like change for the sake of change. No thought behind why. Sense just makes sense.

But, I love the Note 7. Hands down the best smartphone I have ever had. I am thoroughly enjoying it and I am sure you will to.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] DeMi-GoD:
I'm loving it.. Seriously... I'm already getting more than 6 hours SOT first charge.... Amazing huh? No lag whatsoever and hadn't got got at all... Even while charging and being on Skype video for an hour. I haven't even disabled any bloatedware yet. There is an update ready though. I hope that doesn't mess anything up.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
Or D) the old and new phones are the same (apart from the battery), and a small number of both batches have lag problems for yet-unidentified reasons. You could have gotten one of the bad ones first time, but the second one was good (as the odds favored it to be).

I had a serious UI-lag problem with my first phone too, but not with the replacement so far. It did take a few days for the problem to show up on the first one, so I'm not ready to celebrate quite yet.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jmitr:
Numerous people have said this.

I still have both and decided to rapidly open and close apps using multitasking, copy and paste etc. I have done this same "test" many times comparing HTC models to one another.

I can subjectively (because jamming with ones fingers is far from scientific) say touch response is the same. Apps seem to open the same but general UI speed seem more "fluid" with snappier animations. Also, I have yet to suffer keyboard lag in the second. The first would manifest itself if say Showbox was downloading videos while responding to a text etc. None here.

Some tips beyond the regular developer options and changing animations to 0.5. Use package disabler pro and disable that cheesy cheetah mobile interface (device maintenance). You will have stock battery and storage options, and the entire UI speeds up.

And before anyone asks, device maintenance was enabled on both and developer options stock settings for my "test".

Edit: received my new phone on the 15th so more than enough time for "lag" to kick in.

Edit2: Barry I quoted you but the tips are obviously for the OP.

Many users have complained about the monotonous default themes of certain social networking apps and what to change it. This article will show you how to change your theme with easy steps.

Parallel Space introduced Theme Store in the app, which is really amazing: if you are unsatisfied with the current default looks of Facebook/WhatsApp/Instagram/Messenger, you can edit those Apps and change the default looks into customized themes in Parallel Space.

You can do it without having knowledge of coding since there are more than 5 ready-made themes available. All you need is 3 steps.

1. Download Parallel Space in Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lbe.parallel.intl

2. Now open Parallel Space and swipe right to enter Theme Store.

3. Pick your favorite theme and click “Activate this theme”.

The icon would be changed correspondingly in Parallel Space.

Parallel Space is an app which allows you to sign in two different accounts on a single Android device simultaneously. As one of the top-ranked tool on Android, Parallel Space helps more than 40 million users log in to their multi accounts at the same time on one device by cloning.

The newly updated version of Parallel Space introduced Theme Store, which provides stylish themes for cloned apps in Parallel Space. Many more customized themes are yet to be added.

After taking the APH1 update on my phone, I can no longer downgrade to PG5, and I also can't flash the PG9 U firmware. I don't know what Samsung/Verizon did, but it's ridiculous.

I'm now stuck on the APH1 firmware and can't get on the U firmware at all.

I haven't tried rooting, but there is no Odin firmware for APH1 yet, so I'm not going to try until there is, so that if I mess up my phone I can fix it.

Why would the updated bootloader stop the root? Ru sure? Tmobile had there bootloader updated after the root exploit and was still able to root. It's a developmental kernal, can't see anything on update that would affect the exploit.

If the U firmware gets a upgrade and it's a matching bootloader version as any US carriers bootloader, I would bet it would be able to flash again.

Root does work. However you cannot flash U firmware over PH1 simply because there is no U firmware on bootloader v4 yet. Once there is you will be able to.

For me a lot of it is this is not the most conventional root, not very stable for me and battery life suffered a lot compared to stock, and flashing U firmware has not been very cooperative for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JediDru:
So thoughts.... I am on the latest U firmware on my 930V. Should I consider flashing back to the stock Verizon rom? Everything is working great. I do plan on jumping ship from Verizon in the next year or so. I am blown away at how well this phone runs stock and only flashed the U in preparation to take it to another carrier afterwards. Is this a bad idea?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] MArtyChubbs:
Tried to live with root, but the battery and stability was horrible. Now, I am using the engboot to do any data back up or restore tasks in TiBU then flashing the AP again to unroot. Data is maintained, but now I have to live with ads. I use adguard, by it feel like it hurts battery life. Will try and quantify that soon.

Being able to count on my phone to make a call and hold a charge is too important to me. Rooting the phone to set it up after a reset saves me time. Unfortunately, rooting with our current method is too prohibitive for daily use.

I have a 930U that I use on Verizon. I use the 930V firmware because I like having visual Voicemail. I have rooted 3 different times and gone back to stock everytime. I suppose it because of the engineering kernel but root with the S7 is just not stable. The battery life sucks and you have to do so many things to fix the lag it has just become not worth it. Also the 2 latest updates from Verizon have been good on battery. I do like not having Verizon logos all over my phone.

PH1 doesn't break root. You just can't downgrade to older firmware's or flash any U firmware's. PH1 is still completely rootable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] bart77:
So you can't Odin flash back to a stock image if you get in trouble or want to unroot. I guess I'll stay on PG5 for now.

Ph1 upgrades the boot image therefore you cannot Odin flash back to stock pe1 which is the older boot image.

You can still root and flash stang5litre which is the pe1 rom, but you still have the ph1 boot image.

What's the deal with the bootloader version? Which versions can do or can not do what?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JediDru:
If you are on a newer bootloader you can not downgrade to a firmware that uses an earlier one. Some folks who have cross flashed different firmware on their s7s can be stuck and unable to go back to their original phones firmware if they have updated the bootloader. You then must wait for your phones actual carrier to release an update that has the same or newer bootloader just so that you may go back.

I was on the U firmware for a few months and actually just flashed back to stock verizon a week and a half ago after I heard being stuck is a possibility.
