How long does your battery last for? Heavy usage and medium? I'm interested in the Note 7.
Anyone else have any freezing or crashing? My wife was using WhatsApp on her N7 and it just completely froze up, after a few seconds the phone completely powered off. It's been ok since then, but I don't think I have had a smartphone lock up on me like that in years. Coupled with the GPS issues I'm having on mine I hope I didn't get 2 dud phones.

Finally was able to get another black Note 7. I had to call around about 5 stores to find one had a N7. They all said the demand has been extremely high for this phone. They said it is a 3 week wait for the blue N7!
Any way got my new N7 all set up. What a difference. No lag at all and smooth as silk. A complete opposite experience from the first defective N7.
EDIT: Thank you everyone for all of your help and suggestions. This group is amazing! So many people always willing to help!

Leather cover has arrived.
Same nice premium feeling as the one from my s7 edge.
I have the same case, feels so nice
Still testing. Just an example, I watched a CBS show video, my nephew watched a full movie, and I watched some YouTube and the battery is still over 40%.
That's one of the reasons why I wouldn't not use a case for a good amount of time. Certainly when I like to resell my phone.

did you just exchange it or did you have to buy one outright?
My phone getting hot worries me. I'm talking wireless charging here. Do y'all think that's a problem? I think it's expected but still a little alarming
I exchanged it for another black one )
At work, I have a Samsung wireless (not fast charging) charger where that happened. It alarmed me so that I stopped using it.
Tomorrow, I'll try it again.
Thanks. I'm pretty sure it's normal but still. I'm not super sold on wireless charging like I thought I would be. I think it might be easier to just pop it on the fast wired charger like halfway through the day and get a bunch of juice back. Especially since it last becomes unusable on the charger do to the lack of touch response.

My thoughts on the Note 7's S-Pen
Pretty much sums it up for me

I liked the video. Unfortunately, I am concerned about scratches so I will probably get the official S view case. Also, I agree on the price. The Note 7 is great, but the price is steep. If I wasn't on the Jump On Demand program, my upgrade decision would have been harder. The good thing about the higher price, Samsung will continue to really push the specs.
Happened all the time with my s7 edge when using fast charging.
On wireless stand it didn't though
I'm in the same boat. Using it a lot. Might wear off but that's OK. What case is that?My thoughts on the Note 7's S-Pen

Thats not the AOD. It shows its own clock and notifications thing meaning it wont show my calendar AOD super dumb
Eh, I've got a slightly better Ringke case on today that lets the blue shine through nicer and the bubbles finally worked their way out of my Spigen film protector. The Note 7 now is almost back to its naked glory. No worries except for dropping it. Can never predict how that will go.
Going to check out a ringke case as well. Have you had a chance to see if Samsung Cloud option is present on the AT&T note?
Just finished applying my Skinomi matteskin to the back and sides, highly recommended if you have to have your phone naked. Very nicely cut and shaped and easy to apply. My edge to edge glass sp (which covers Samsung logo) should be here next week, completing my protection. For anything else squaretrade will take care of it.
I can't seem to find it. It is not in my Samsung apps. When I web search for At&T Samsung cloud all the search results come up with AT&T locker information. Keep in mind I'm a total newbie and may be letting my search somehow get steered by AT&T. I have my Note provisioned at last but haven't fully customized and de-bloated and locked it down from Big Brother yet.
