So. Took iPhone off charger today at 9am. Been using it light to average today. Battery at 77% just now. So I might keep this. I was always lucky to be on 50% when I left work most days. Left work at 98% Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After having an iPhone 7 + and the Note 7, I personally prefer the AMOLED, but I prefer my backgrounds black, and to use minimal colors for the power savings of the AMOLED. But the 7+ display is really really good for an LCD, so much so that the black really looks black compared to what I am...

So this iPhone 7 plus so far is way better on battery than any of my Android phones have been. Even downloading apps today. Guess I'm missing the random google play services and android os battery drain. But dang, it's huge. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah, I got the screen protectors in, you want to buy mine? I returned my Note 7 and don't feel like going through the hassle of trying to return them lol. I did buy mine like a month ago from them, it took a ridiculous amount of time to show up. Never opened mine.

Yeah I still have unlimited data, and was paying full price for it. I really think it is going to erode the residual value when I sell it, which I do every year. So I decided to just try to find something else to use. The Refurb S7 for 370, seems if it's decent shape, then I can resell it...

My iPhone 7+ is sitting at home waiting on me. I also ordered a Moto Z Play , and just snagged a refurb S7 for 360. One of these three phones will remain. Sending back my Nexus 5x.

It shipped like next day, got it in 2 or 3.

iPhone does give you at least a double tap of the fingerprint sensor and it brings the screen down to half.

My note 7 constantly got warm.

I returned my Note 7 to Bestbuy yesterday. They didn't ask for the free gift, or even check the accessories. So the stuff I couldn't find wasn't an issue, headphones, charger etc. The only hiccup I had was the girl was asking for my Verizon account info. I am on unlimited data and bought the...

My Nexus 5X from Project FI should be here this week. Also I ordered one of the Moto G from Amazon for 179. Just trying to make it a few weeks without something blowing up in my hand lol.

Phone on fire in the Jeep, could catch interior on fire pretty quickly.

The themes in TW took care of any of the issues I had.

No other phone to use currently. Waiting on a cheapie to come in so that I can at least make do.

Yeah hoping to return my recalled Note 7 this weekend. So no Note for me until the 8, unless they release maybe a Note 7 Plus or something, or the price drops drastically. I really think the recall is just going to be kinda sticky. I'll probably buy some Android device in the next 6 months...

Eh its just some of the hardware too. I have an iPad and the wife lives on an iPhone, so I am not unfamiliar with it at all. I like wireless charging, fast charging, notification light. I also like not being locked into specific apps for things. And I like Google Maps ;) Yeah I know its on...

Returning mine to Bestbuy, bought an Amazon unlocked phone for now for Verizon, because I sold my Note 5 like instantly. There is now reports of a house fire in South Carolina caused by one too. I'll just slum it with an iPhone 7+ until the Note 8 comes out.

So got mine from A4c that was also beat to sh*t. Definitely used, everything was open. Tried it, and either the Note 7 won't charge on it, or its defective. They gave me the option to return it, or take a refund to the refurbished price. I am choosing refund.

Have 2 256Gbs ordered, delivery end of September. Might cancel one. The more I think about it, the less I think I want to deal with iOS. Problem is, I really don't trust my Note 7, it does seem to get really warm from time to time, but I literally have no other phone to use. So I need...

Got in 2 orders for new phones @ Apple. They were late turning the store on. I will probably return mine, but I have no idea what I want to do. Wife says I'm an idiot if I keep a Note 7, because she thinks its going to be a sticky mess too, especially if it gets banned on Planes, just cause...

This below is what I'm worried about http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68595862&postcount=391

It's not that I like the phone, just I feel like the resell value is going to be LOW in a year. Every year I sell my phone and buy a new one, although the urge is starting to die down a bit. The value of the old phone helps subsidize the new phone. Might not work next year. And the fact that...

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.

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...

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...

You got more info than I did. They just kept repeating the same phrase when in chat with them.

Lots of people in the US bought the international model, because they wanted the different processor, so there is a possibility that US explosions are still international models.

So, I too use Virgin Pulse. And what I see so far is that SHealth only syncs the phones steps to Virgin Pulse. It won't sync any other devices. Virgin Pulse on the Note 7 doesn't even give an option to sync with Google fit for me. ---------- Post added at 06:25 PM ---------- Previous post...

What does this mean in terms of usability? What actual features are removed? Can we still tailor the battery saving stuff?

Actually colors on LCD screens still affect battery life. They have subpixels to them, RGB, and showing like a white background requires all 3 subpixels to be on. Although you never get true black with an LCD like an OLED, it has been proven that colors do affect LCD battery life.

Not sure if I fit into the category, but would love to review for you guys. Have a few of your products already and have been pleased. Note 5 here.

I'd be happy to as well.

Pretty sure I was just using the stock battery tracker at the time.

Finally Did another factory reset, with nothing installed, and this time the battery seems to be behaving. Haven't really started using it yet, but I was losing 35% per day just idling. Now it appears to have straightened out some.

For the most part, my note 4 upgrade has been pretty great, took a day or so for it to fall in line, but after that, haven't had much issues. My Note 10.1 2014 on the other hand, is mostly unusable these days to do short standby battery life.

My tablet will die in 2 days without me touching it. It's weird. I just did another data wipe, and if I leave it like that it is more like a 10% per day drain. But the second I install anything, boom, there goes my battery it seems. Think I will just sell it.

Fyi, when on home if you click the all apps icon, and when browsing all your installed apps hit the menu ellipsis, galaxy apps is an option in that menu. Just lucked out when I found d it. ---------- Post added at 03:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 AM ---------- Last night at 3am...

Select the Applications from home screen, hit the menu button, Galaxy Apps are there.

And means it's time to upgrade for me 2 I guess.

Thanks!

So maybe I am missing something, but where do you get Verizon Sim cards for the Note 4 on StraightTalk? Update: Now I see where Walmart is selling them, but can't find them on Straight Talks site. Interesting. Maybe I will try one.

Still unlimited as well. With no root I do miss my hotspot though from my G2. Didn't use it much, just when I needed it, I needed it.

Thanks, I had seen where lots of people earlier were like "Go download it" but it never worked for me.... Will install it.

Seems weird. Like I mentioned, on my Note 10.1 2014 edition tab, there is just a Galaxy App store application that I can run. I tried to install it on my phone.. bad idea.. So is the only way to access the app store literally through a widget? That seems bad, cause I don't want to waste a...

So I have a stock unrooted Note 4. On TouchWiz I have two widgets, Galaxy Apps Essentials, and Galaxy Apps Gifts, both of these widgets take me to a page showing some apps, and then there is a see more Galaxy Apps link at the bottom. Clicking that link takes me to Samsungs App store. I can...

Ordered an iPad Air 2 for Christmas, and kept the 10.1 2014 as well. Even after factory reset on the 10.1 2014, and nothing really installed and setup much, the iPad still runs circles around the Note. Even have some geofencing rules setup on the iPad that hits the GPS, and it still easily...

So, after a data wipe. Minimally installed and syncing apps, the 2 day drain is gone, replaced by losing about 3-4% at night. Now decisions. The deal was I was suppose to sell my Android tab here, and buy an iPad due to battery frustration woes. Well, it was the deal with my wife. Now I am...

Yeah, it restarts itself when I pick it up and the battery was completely drained. Yesterday I had 6minutes screen on time, and was dead within 2 days of unplugging it. Bought an iPad for Christmas. Can't decide what to do here. Android seems to always have battery issues with the solution...

iPad had 11 days on Standby, 12 hours in use supposedly since last charge. And is at 60% battery.. screw this.. Ordering an iPad.

My standby battery life is terribad compared to my wife's iPad. Makes me want to switch back to Apple. Gotten worse with the last 2 updates.
