Awesome comparison of video playback on the note 7 compared to the S7 edge.
Man, hope you can get it sorted out quickly, that would really suck if you had to wait an extended time to get your replacement.
On a more selfish note, I really hope it was just a lemon and not a bug in firmware as others have posted.
Yeah, it's weird what the do to the systems sometimes. On my S7 I can't sort my settings into a long list, I have to keep that pages view instead, while t-mobile kept that option in. But on AT&T I can turn off the back light of the back and multitasking buttons, no such option on the t-mobile variant.
Quick question, do you have an SD card in the phone? If you do, have you tried turning it on without it? I remember my Note 4 had a wierd issue where if I had an SD card inserted at boot up it would boot loop until I removed it.
When you turn off iMessage on all devices associated with my iPhone, how long until iPhone users can successfully send me messages? I turned iMessage off on my iPhone and iPad and my texts are not consistent as far as coming through to me.
Wow, Samsung is pretty fast this time. Just got a email, my 256gb card is shipped and should arrive on the 23.
You need to make sure they're texting your number and not your Apple ID. Other than that, not sure. I've never had a problem with imessage before de registering my number when switching devices, in my expierence it's been instantaneous.

I am leaning towards a defective device.....I was getting horrible battery life....more lag than I have ever had. Was even getting a delay on display touches. Sometimes it would not register my touches so I had touch icons a couple of times for it to register.
Wow, that's really bad. I don't think I've ever had that sort of problem on a phone before.
It's on my AT&T S7.
Wish I still had my S7 edge(T-mobile) to check. Either T-mobile took that out or I just plain missed it.
Good luck. I hope your exchange goes smoothly. Blue is nice but really you can't go wrong on any of the colors. I wish I could have one in each color! I've just been using mine as a camera since we haven't had time to properly set it up yet. The camera is totally blowing away anything I've been able to do with the iPhone in comparison. What I like is the wide angle selfie camera. Now at restaurants I can get myself in with the rest of the family and not have to take two photos on sections.
Thanks for the suggestion. i tried removing the SD card and the sim card and it doesn't make a difference.
Looks like you missed it, just checked my broken t-mo s7 edge.
That is a seriously cracked screen!
One last thing to try ..... Smart Switch might detect a bootloop and do an emergency recovery on the device. Happened to me once when I was fooling around with custom firmware on the S6 edge. Emergency recovery also saved me several times back when Samsung was using Kies.
Yup, and it was in a case too. Still trying to find a place to repair it on the cheap, the AT&T rep said it didn't matter how well it's repaired, as long as the screen turns on and isn't cracked they take it and payoff my t-mobile balance. Thinking if the iphone is decent, I might just wait until they have an iPhone bogo to do it. Last year AT&T had a bogo on the iphone around thanksgiving.
Thanks! At this point i really think it is a defective unit. I would rather get a replacement so as to not have the problems that led to the factory reset to begin with. Now if TMO is out of stock I might try those steps!

Yea, good point. They might prioritize several phones for critical situations, vs just telling them it's laggy.
Yeah I am hoping they have emergency stock for replacements like mine. They can see how it bootloops and the Knox hasn't been tampered with so confident in that aspect. We will see tomorrow
Wow, what were the details on how it cracked? I have to call squaretrade tomorrow to get warranties going on my 2 Note 7's, always better safe than sorry.
I can say I'm not experiencing any of those symptoms, sounds horrible, take it back Jamez!
Battery life has been stellar!
