Note 7 embarrassing performance (Xda-developers)
yeah I saw this yesterday, I was excited to use samsung at last after I saw everywhere that touchwiz is improved but this post destroyed my dreams.
Good good. Let the hate flow through you
well I already pre ordered so i'm trying to view the positive side and hope for OTA software fixes from samsung
Something weird happened, I logged on to my credit card account and I saw that the deposit wasn't taken anymore (the operation was canceled), I called my bank and they said CTC canceled the transaction, did it happen to anyone? I'm kinda hoping this happened because after the Gorilla Glass 5 scandal I'm really dreading using the Note 7.
This is all too shady for me, that's it i'm calling a refund

Yeah khalas. I called my bank now and they assured me that it's canceled and that CTC wont be able to debit my card anymore, so until these issues are ironed out (software but especially the scratching of the phone, it's unacceptable) I'm sticking to my S7 edge.

I know. Aslan I'm really happy that I can save this 850$ and put it towards something else later on, maybe the iPhone 7 Plus. I'll replace my S7 edge with a OnePlus 3, I've really been wanting one.
Bad News ! (Just Google to See the Recent News of the Cause of Shipment Delaying and Pulling Out Note 7 from the Market) !


The Note 7 has been heavily linked with a global recall since two separate instances of fires while charging have been reported, and now it seems that the brand is going to be pulling shipments while it investigates.

Samsung Delays Galaxy Note 7 Shipments: Maybe It Has Something To Do With The Exploding Batteries? - See more at: http://www.techtimes.com/articles/175839/20160901/samsung-delays-galaxy-note-7-shipments-maybe-it-has-something-to-do-with-the-exploding-batteries.htm#sthash.3yDUMJGc.dpuf
CTC just sent me an SMS saying the shipment is "delayed" and that we can cancel the preorder if we like. Maybe this is related to this news.

I would like to know how that goes coz i'm also very interested in the OP3.
Better wait for next Google Nexus, it will have for sure daydream VR
0.1 percent of devices are affected. They are pulling shipments to make sure they can further minimize on that number. Don't make a big deal out of it.

i owned galaxy S4 S5 and S6edge. all of them the battery start to consume huge power after they release a newer model. in my opinion the made this to push you to buy the newer model. eventhough for S4 i thought it is the better life ended i got a new Samsung original battery, but nothing changed. i will not buy any other Samsung phone anymore. right now i am looking for a better android phone. have a look on the new google phone if you want to switch to android. i carry both S6edge and iphone 6 plus. the iphone battery is much much better than samsung. note i found a solution for the battery problem. reset and dont update the system. i did it for Galaxy S5 and it is working fine now. btw i did it by mistake since i was giving the phone to my father and it worked fine.
They must rework Note 7 power source and rename it later Note 7+
I wonder who would buy this phone knowing nobody will re-buy it later from him by fear of explosion, renaming it once they are sure they fixed the hardware problem will help sales

I have a Note 2 and I experienced no such thing. In fact, my battery life only got better after each update, and I use WiFi or 3G and maximum brightness all the time.

I'm not sure there is enough electricity in Lebanon to charge decent quantity of Note 7 :)
Supposedly, Samsung has pulled the plug on the phone and are working on the Note 8, due in the spring. ofc, would not be surprised to see the phone sold by 'reputable' Lebanese companies.

Anyhow,I for one am looking forward to one of the new Google Pixel/iPixel phones---they seem to be much more of what one wants in an android phone, without the bloatware. I don't know when they will get here, but I have family in the gulf that can probably bring one back if need be.
RIP Note7. Probably the best allround device of 2016. Hard to feel bad for Samsung, they rushed the release to beat Apple to their 7 release. And look at what happened. Samsung can bounce back from this, but they need to do something big with the Galaxy S8.
As for those Pixel phones? They're priced like iPhones and they're missing key features. No thank you.

The Pixel XL then if you want the size of Note 7.
BTW it remembers me a lot of the Nexus 1 in the back design and of course HTC quality signature, I hope it also has the superb audio DAC from the 10
