Just curious what other Verizon owners are experiencing. I love this phone and am keeping it, warts and all. But from other forums I'm getting the feeling that the Verizon model has a lot more issues than other models. My main gripe is I'm getting a total freeze of my phone, nothing happens on screen and button taps do nothing at all, this lasts for about a minute then the phone comes back, but everything runs very very slowly, then eventually it will run normally again. I'm also seeing a ton of lag, specifically something will run or animate very slowly and stutters, like for example if I close an app the animation of it shrinking can sometimes be fast and smooth, other times it's slow and stutters to the point where you can almost count the frames. My wife has a Note 7 as well and she had one episode where she was using WhatsApp, her phone completely froze on her and then after a minute or so just rebooted.
I've also had issues with wifi calling dropping calls left and right. I've had issues with the phone not wanting to switch from a weak crappy wifi signal to cellular. GPS was dropping a lot initially, but I haven't seen that issue lately. Battery life overall hasn't been stellar, but I hope that just means it is still breaking in.
I'm on Verizon and experiencing the same crap.. love this phone as well. I have disabled all the bloatware too

i have experienced the same i am not sure what gives but i hope an optimization patch is released for it soon.
Totally agree. I got the Moto Z about 3 weeks before Note launch and that phone is fast. I figured the Note would be just as fast. Nope. The Moto is very fast to unlock with fingerprint. Note has some delay and goes to lock screen then open. Bit hokey if you ask me. I get a lot of lag doing normal things. Was using Nova, thought that might be it so went back to samsungs launcher. Kinda helped. Just does not have the zip I thought it would. Might forgo the s pen and swap with my wife. Hopefully N will help, but we all know VZW will f that up too.

Good lock is better and faster imo. I couldn't find it on galacy apps but worked just fine from here.

Lol so how do we figure out screen on time then because according to you if i go into my battery settings and it shows screen on 9 hours that isnt possible
My phone is running buttery smooth! Slightly over 2 days battery life! No complaints.
For those with the issues, try a factory reset and dont disable anything. Run the phone and see if it still happens. If so then you have gotten bad phones.
I'm just now reading about some of these issues people are having. I've got a pre order phone. Delivered on the 19th. It's been a dream from day 1. Better than my note 5 by far. My 5 was dropping calls and battery dying in a day. Haven't dropped a call nor run out of battery. My s6 edge plus was horrible. Only had it for a day. This looked similar so I was a bit nervous. Other than it having an issue with either the gear app our the bluetooth sending ringtone to my gear s2 on all calls regardless of ringer settings I've got zero complaints.

I haven't had any of these issues on my Note 7. I have had it one week now. Battery life is decent, but I don't know what the stats look like since I am always near a charger. I took the ota halfway through the week and it didn't seem to affect anything one way or the other.

Perfect device? When a product needs you to buy something extra to make it perfect, it's not perfect already.
Plus the camera literally blows.

The perfect phone has a better than RGBG pentile screen.
I am running Liquid 1.3, Trexcell 3800 battery, and Franco kernel. Getting 5 1/2 hours screen time, about 18 hours total with very heavy use (4g, wifi, no power management, 3d games etc). I love the camera after putting in the high quality mods, it's no standard point and shoot but it's good enough for me!

I've reverted from the latest 4.2.2 jelly bean ROMs (primarily MMuzzy) back to 4.0.4 ice cream sandwich, because I was getting horrible battery life. Back on ICS I'm getting almost a day of battery life with 2-4 hours onscreen time, and because of that odd backwards switch I lost that ability with the camera. Even then, there was still some lag getting the camera app running, and then it took a while to focus on the subject you were trying to capture.
Good suggestion to anyone who didn't know about that, though.
Probably the fact that I can't seem to find a good GLASS screen protector for it that will fit with my otterbox commuter case and that won't start to peel up after a few months.
Besides that with the phone itself....the radios. I've owned low end android devices with specs much worse than this phone and I always had better reception.
Oh and the USB port. Just got a insurance replacement and it has USB issues off the bat. Dealing with it as long as I can because I'm hearing asurion no longer offers the 32gb nexus.
Waiting for the next one.

It's a 16gb version. That's the only difference. There was a thread somewhere in these forums about it not too long ago. Someone got an asurion replacement and found out it was only 16gb and when he called they said that's what they had now....found it kinda odd because I just got a 32gb version from them maybe 4 days before the thread popped up.

So I upgraded on Thursday and is in love with this device . But after a day I noticed the device getting warm then hot in the matter of minutes. I troubleshoot the best of my abilities but no avail. Factory data reset, unistall bloat, calibrating the battery still no go. Then I stumble across a YouTube video for s4 with the same problem and the video suggest turning off all the toggles. And it worked!!!! I'm still going to return my device but this was the solution that worked for me.

Must have been unlucky because this is my first phone in a year that never gets warm, the Htc One and LG G2 got so hot I could just hit autoupload with 10 apps in que and then use them for handwarmers on a cold night. I'm amazed that when I have it tethered for hours it doesn't get warm whatsoever whereas those other two devices would get so hot I was afraid they would eventually die prematurely. My guess is some things could have been addressed eventually, maybe not but my Note 3 is just perfect out of the box thank goodness.

Saying it isn't normal is quite a leap. Remember that the back cover is very thin plastic. Don't just assume something is wrong unless your phone actually hurts you or powers down due to the heat.
G2 and Note 3 (sd800) get warm pretty quick. Neither gets hot for me. Not yet anyway. I think throttling stops my devices from getting overly hot. Obviously ambient temperature plays a part. 75 degrees all day for me. Indoors
Have two Note 3's and 1 G2 on my family account. Replaced one note 3 already for cosmetic issues.
Mine got pretty hot on the first day when I was busy rooting, flashing, and deleting stuff, but now it only gets slightly warm if I'm doing something data-intensive.
Most phones will get hot when using either wifi or the mobile data radio a lot. My S3 used to. It was never too hot to touch but always concerned me. My Note3 however has been quite cool. I played Bloon TD5 for a few hours yesterday (I was very bored) and it got a little warm, but thats about it. If it concerns you, take it back and have it replaced.
I got an update yesterday. Today I tried and downloaded asphalt 1.5gb game. It didn't even warm up. So I'm guessing the update..MAYBE fixed it.

My phone just started to overheat and I am not sure why. The area near the camera/flash is where I feel most of the heat, specifically the SD card area so I removed the micro SD card which worked great for a day and now its back to overheating. What's worse is that it happens overnight to the point where my phone shuts itself off due to battery drain (the phone was not charging and had 100%).
Bout to call tmo for a replacement.
overheat using 3G
I am facing the same issue.
Just bought last week and i find in below case my phone gets overheat. BTW to me, overheat is the set gets so warm that if i put in my ear, i cant even talk cause its HOT.
1. if i use 3G browsing for like 10/15 mins
2. downloading something via WIFI for like 30/40 mins.
i really dont understand whats the issue. how to solve this ? its insane i paid so much for this phone but if it heated up this much... how to use ! damn ...
I've woken up to my phone being extremely hot but it has only happened because of a rogue app I installed turned out to be that Themer was the culprit. I uninstalled Themer and haven't had any issues since. Keep in mind I had Themer installed for about a month and every time they would push out an update I would get over heating problems. Though Themer is still in beta I'll just wait till the official version is released.

There is a minor lag problem and most likely it won't bother you. But the phone has heating problem. It only occurs when a resource intensive application is running. Of course if you like rooting and custom roms, ths heating problem goes away.

(1) No carrier or manufacturer bloatware. (2) Monthly security updates. (3) Actually getting version updates.
6 months with my 5x and no lag. A smaller portion of users were experiencing slow downs but that was resolved with OTA updates.
Anyone still experiencing slow downs is related to usual Android stuff, ie. bad apps.
Thank you guys, I have ordered one.
I will tell you my experience when I get it.
I'm using this phone without lag issues.
I saw a few people on reddit who said that the latest update (May) has improved the performance of the phone.
I just picked up a SW3, and upgraded it to MEC24H. So far, I am pretty happy with it. I'll get a full day out of the battery, and that was with the just got it fingers playing with it more than I normally would.
I've heard some bad things about mwd49b on our watch, my watch keeps asking me to update, should I just avoid the mwd49b update for now and stick with MEC24H?
Thank you!
You can deny the card when ask for upgrade but I do not know if they ask again and again later ?

I've updated and have perfect battery life, easily 2 days. Yes, I'm a light user, but still......
I'm absolutely happy with the update. GPS is fine, in short everything works as it should.........
The latest update works fine on my watch. I even dirty flashed it, no hard reset. The only problem I have is that the watch would not fully charge when turned off. It will overheat and stop at about 60% charge.

Well I've found the update to be perfect here and same battery life as before. Strange how different people are having different experiences
Noticeably shorter battery life but the watch works much better. If you don't like to charge it every day or (almost) two - don't update but the update itself fixes many problems that occurred right after the update to 6.0
I've updated and my watch lasts almost for two days, I'm happy with the update but I'm waiting for the further fixes, mainly fixes for the battery.

I just picked up a SW3, and upgraded it to MEC24H. So far, I am pretty happy with it. I'll get a full day out of the battery, and that was with the just got it fingers playing with it more than I normally would.
I've heard some bad things about mwd49b on our watch, my watch keeps asking me to update, should I just avoid the mwd49b update for now and stick with MEC24H?
Thank you!

Since accepting the update on my SW3 GPS has become unusable for any long-term tasks. It might last 20 or 30 minutes returning (relatively) accurate values but then accuracy shoots out to 64m or more and renders it useless for any serious application. I have two watches and they've both started doing the same thing. Personally I'd stick with version 5 for now until they fix it.
Interestingly enough yesterday my battery life restored close to normal after about a week of horrible drain. I did not do anything to the watch...
