Well of course it's easy money if you move a screw and say it's redesigned and charge for a redesign.

Also, I don't think I've seen anyone say the Note is a redesign, everyone has said it's an iteration of last year's model, same as what will happen to the iphone this year.

To consumers it is. To someone who builds/designs the phones, it's a redesign. It requires the engineers to bring the phone up and figure out to move the antennas, and making the phone waterproof. So removing the headphone jack. Again, it is still considered a "REDESIGN". facts are facts.
 
Here are some pictures I took with my s7 edge which has the same camera as the note 7. Although there could be differences in software/unit variance

Beautiful pictures and that baby....agggghh too much cuteness!

One of the things I am really looking forward to is comparing my IPhone cameras to my Note 7 camera.

Apple never said any such thing. That is INTERNET rumors as usual. Again, you are hopeless with your other friend.

You actually are the one embarrassing yourself. I posted the definition of redesign and you are blinded to ignore it. Sorry if your opinion doesn't match up with the facts presented to you. I have a great life. I don't deal with lower people like yourself who say that isn't a redesign. Or it doesn't take a redesign to move the antenna on the phone. Any person will laugh at you who designs things.

And honestly, I could care less how much you spend on Apple's out dated hardware. If you were smart enough, you wouldn't be spending it all the time on their "computers" with 2 year old technology in it.

I guess I could say I have spent over $15k on technology stuff over the last 3 months. But who cares.
There you go again dealing with lower people crap. Talking like you are more important than any other person when you clearly aren't. You are a freaking engineer not some world leader. You earn a good amount and clearly you work hard for your money. Good for you but so do I. I earn plenty and many people report directly to me. Does it really matter that i'm a director in my company? No would it matter if I made min wage? No....this isn't a competition.

We are here talking about tech.

Obviously we disagree here when it comes to how we judge the meaning of the word redesign.

Time to move on and talk about what this thread is about.
 
turned off the developer animations. We'll see if it helps out..thanks

That's the brute force way of trying to make a [phone smoother :) A good solid OS shouldn't need to do that. My Nexus 6P has them on 1.5 seconds, which is a lot longer than normal, but I love the smooth transition and animation that gives, and it is indeed hot butter smooth at that long of a setting, no lag whatsoever. But set it to that on my Wife's Note 5, and holy cow it's laggy and chugged slow.

I was going to give the Samsung Cloud a try, but I'm having an error every time I do a manual Backup.

The problem seems to be with backing up the apps, which takes the longest. It's like their server times out when the percentage under Apps is around 70% upload, or it can be one app that it can't upload properly. The storage is unlimited for backups, so space can't be an issue.

All the other backup selections backed up just fine, but the Apps selections is a problem.

I even deleted my backups, and tried again. Same issue.



Says Network Error as cause of failure.

Fails when the APPS category is around 70% upload.
When on Wifi or LTE, (charging and unplugged)

The Backup data should be in the Gigabytes. It's not uploading it properly.

I deleted this several times, still the same issue trying to backup.

Yeah, I don't like turning off animations. Its just jarring to me.

My last post towards you. You have already proven your opinion is like fact here when in reality you can't admit you are wrong. You won't change what the facts are sir. At least we agree on something. Let's move on. We both aren't going to win.

Sounds like it has some issues. Samsung are on the right track by doing this but seems odd why it hasn't completely worked.

Otherwise would be a great comparison to the iCloud backup. Keep trying lol

Jeepers, about a gazillion posts ago I conceded you had a valid point. Now you can't even take a little joke. :eek: You are way more grumpy than me. Did you recently switch to decaf? o_O

Same. Also turning off animations is akin to putting a plaster on a stab wound. You are masking framerate drops, but not actually solving the root cause. It also doesn't resolve any physical lag in applications / keyboard. It's a flawed 'fix'.

Are you on AT&T? If not what carrier?
 
I am having second thoughts regarding the blue coral, I'm thinking black onyx might be a safer bet. Depends whether i can switch colour order and keep my Gear VR2 eligibility, if I lose it by swapping I'll keep the blue.

If you don't open the package, would you be able to go to the store after you get your gear and swap the phone for the black? Not sure how the return process works over there, here we have 14 days to return or swap, we just have to pay a restocking fee if it's been opened (depending on the retailer, some don't charge a restocking fee).

Worse case if you don't like the blue, I'm sure you'll be able to find someone to swap it with, I think the blue will probably the second most popular color choice behind black, it does look really nice in the videos I've seen.

I imagine they'll be able to change my order to black, just requires the sales team to do so - they are only on Monday to Friday so I'll call them after the weekend :)

Hey guys just got my note 7. Switched over from an iphone 6s plus after having iPhone for the last 9 years

One thing that is really bugging me though .... theres like a pink hue that is on the top of the screen. Also it looks like it's a long the right edge as well.

Anyone else see this ? I have definitely seen this type of stuff on other android phones with the Q HD display. Is it even worth trying to find one without this issue ?

Very faintly and I didn't notice it until you asked. It's really faint and has to be seen on a white background. I've got slight tints on iPhone edges so I'm not sure this would bother me. But everyone is different as to what would bother them.

When I looked at the s6 edge I noticed a very aqua tint on the edge that newer devices don't have. That bothered me a lot back when I saw it.
 
Yeah its just faint at the top but noticeable on white for sure. And a lot of what i use is a white background and so is the drop down quick menu

Honestly probably wont bother me after a month but I always notice this stuff on my new devices.

Edit: Yeah I definitely notice pink along the top edge and the right edge specifically. Sort of bothering me tbh

They can't be serious. They must be trolling.

I hear you. On iPads any kind of gradient triggers my migraines when I do a lot of reading on a white background. I need a very evenly white background. But tint on the very edges is okay. I see it on the right side. It's there but very hard to detect on the top.

Oh man, now even if this Note turns out to be a complete bloated lag wagon in a few months, I think I will have to stay with Samsung and kiss the big iPhones goodbye. Unless Timmy has his crew pull a miracle with the selfie cameras.

I just took two selfies here in the car. No makeup. Not much sleep. :eek: I look like hell boiled and bubbling over on the 6S Plus selfie. On the Note 7 I merely look like heck. :D As far as I can tell I don't have the special beautification processing turned on. Is it on by default? Everything just looks better from the lighting to the view around my head. All colors look better and more realistic to what I see around me in the car.

And no I'm not posting those pics! I don't want to get suspended for scaring everyone. :confused: Let you beautiful young people conduct your own testing!
