I have the TMO variants, and use this app ' Galaxy Button Lights ' to completely disable them. Bothers the hell outta me, esp at night!

Works great, and is free!

Thanks, I'm going to do the same. The black is too black for the buttons to stay lit during gaming.

Anyone have the clear view flip case for the note 7? Does it actually let you see your always on display now? Or is it the same **** they did with the S7 one.
 
Bleh I may have Gps issues. Exchanged 3 or 4 note 3's, 7 note 4's and 1 note 5 over this same issue. Gps doesn't pick up at all or intermittently drops. Waze this morning giving me issues. Kept telling me to get off the highway, make a u turn and get back on same highway and kept rerouting as if the gps was miscalculatimg my location.

Surprise surprise. Another case update. The speck case leaves a large opening for the s pen. But that also means if it lands on that corner its not protected!

Got mine ordered but I've seen on review that shows it does yes

So I found a youtube video where the guy commented andsaid that the case disables the AOD like it did on the S7 .... it shows clock and everything but that is just the case causing that to show it. I need to be able to see my calendar on the AOD

Shows the AOD but wether it goes off when you click the power button I'm not sure

I would use fold the cover back when in the office anyway though
 
After the first full day with my Note 7, I must say that it is one of the best smartphones I've owned.

Fast, fun, and highly useful, it's an amazing testimony to Samsungs brilliant engineering and design teams. While Apple pontificates about this and that... Samsung delivers results.


No wonder so many people are happy with Samsung.

AOD doesn't work with the clear flip case closed. I have it on my Black N7 and would be perfect was it not for that flaw! I'm thinking about exchanging it for the LED cover, or the S-View.
 
^^again, no one uses their phones like that so in everyday usage, it doesn't mean much to the average consumer.

And don't get it twisted, I'm sure if I put my Note 7 against my iPhone 6s+, and ran tests like the video above, my iPhone would probably come out on top.

With that said, my Note 7 ram management has been fine. Can TW still use tweaks? Sure.

And also the relative performance of the "losing" phone is also more than likely to be perfectly fine when used by itself. I have an iPhone 6s and a Nexus 5X, and if I use them more or less simultaneously the 5X feels too slow as the 6s just butchers it in responsiveness. However, if I leave the 6s aside for a while, I'll get used to the 5X performance and apart from some occasional times it takes a considerable amount of time for the 5X to complete an operation, it's more or less just fine.

I like your case updates but as this thread grows it's getting harder to find them. Should we start a new accessories thread for the Note 7? I've got some Ringke cases I'm testing. I'm not ready to make recommendations yet but my preliminary impressions of them are positive.

Not a bad idea! I'll do it later unless somebody beat me to it

Thank you @M5RahuL for posting those pictures. The black note 7 looks prettier in those pictures. In person the Blue Note 7 looks great and is a lot of fun because it can look exactly that light or go very very dark depending on the lighting. Silver looks slick, too, and doesn't get enough love on forums, in my opinion.

Black is going to look better in a wider variety of cases than other color options, though. The black bezels blend well with so many different case options I've seen.

@M5RahuL thanks, you've made my decision even harder :) both look great

Get both :p

But seriously, it is hard to pick one!

I've noticed bouts of lag, especially opening up video apps like Netflix and HBO GO. Browsing seems wonky regardless of browser. I also have an iPhone 6S Plus, it absolutely flies. I don't quite understand why Sammy can't put it all together. 4gb of RAM should be way more than enough.

With my Note 7, I do not have these experiences. My 7 works great. At first, I will say that my battery didn't last long. Actually, you could see it counting down. However, after a few days, it to lasts a lot longer. Very pleased with my upgrade.
 
Both colours are looking awesome on the Note 7, would be a tough decision, IMO a black N7 with the frame from the blue one would look best...

I may have a dud but I may be at the end of the road with it. I don't have the interest to exchange and set up the phone again after two reboots.

Oh well. iPhone 7 in a few weeks and new Nexus.
