Does not tweak the phone using any software at all as any other people. I always stick to stock.
At first the battery is not that amazing, after a few days the battery power saving feature kicks in.

I cam attest to that. I own both the S7E and N7 and I would say charging time for the S7E on fast charge from 5 % to 100% would be around slightly less than 1 1/2 hours.

After replacing my phone, I'm still having the white battery icon.... phone is on the latest firmware and I've this Battery status icon after I press the power button.... but but but the battery icon is WHITE!!!

I brought it to Samsung service centre, they couldn't help me...gosh....

Any body having the same issue?

just sharing, blomberg website stated Samsung might going to have 2nd recall

Have you tried to key in your imei number in the Samsung imei site? See what's the result first.

http://www.samsung.com/us/note7recall/

If your number does not pass the check, that will mean that your phone is still a recalled unit.

It still has the fast charge recalibrated with taking slightly longer time, not total disable not working right.

too bad~~~ the design is good, the battery...

I checked. The unit is a new unit and safe but if I board a plane, how to tell those people checking the phone that it's safe? People only recognize Green battery icon!! Samsung advertised that well. green Icon = safe phone...

That's too bad. Have you tried to reset the phone after the update? If not, try it first. May be the reset can fix the issue.

If reset also cannot solve, then I suggest you to complain to SME. Tell them the reason, the problems you may encounter, and ask them to fix it asap. If they claim that they cannot do anything about it, then you should ask for exchange. Afterall, it's not your fault. It's the software problem. Samsung already promised that new phones will have the green battery icon. Yours don't have the green icon. That means Samsung broke their promise (technically). You have the rights to ask for a replacement.

Currently, does airlines allow note 7 on flight - Post Recalled unit? boarding ANA flight soon in november and planning to get note 7

It depends. At this moment, most of the airlines still allow new Note 7 on flight. But due to the recent incident, today some airlines started to "re-ban" Note 7 (recalled or post recalled unit) on flight. For one, a Taiwanese shared this photo when he/she took flight today. Do notice the message mentioned that as long as you are holding a Note 7 (new or old, it doesn't matter now), you are advised to switch off the phone and charging is not allowed.

Your is gold color ?

when I replaced mine from Court the lady told me if gold color must OTA update to latest firmware to get the green battery icon.

If still cannot, then go back Samsung.

Mine was Black so the replacement already with Green battery icon

Also the the replacement phone box, there is a black box after the barcode at the side. The problem one box doesn't have the black box. Please check again

Good morning.

I am looking for a pc of Samsung SP, if you have one for sell please PM

Your unit must be gold color. Need to update firmware before the green battery appears.

I think u needed to update firmware first..
Then the green icon would appear

All four US carriers allowing Galaxy Note 7 swaps for any other device

At this rate, they might just decide not to carry/ sell the note7... in which case, % of demand will drop significantly... probably best Android with worst sales ever... :S

i'm still half-half...

in a way, do regret a bit that i opened by replacement unit. could have kept it sealed.

but... in a way, no regrets also coz its the best phone and suits my needs. many others just don't have all me requirements.

if i have to complain... it's the curved screen. totally tak boleh... when i wanna smart select from the sides... cannot. need to screen shot and use fingers instead.

watch movies (which i do a lot) also not as fun coz ya, the curves interfere with the whole experience.

if it's really issue and they just tweak to minimise... that's still opening up to lawsuit coz that means they know there's an issue and try to hide it.

i dun think samsung that silly to do this. probably, they dun really know what is wrong...

i think OnePlus 3 dash charging can do that...
