Phone kept loosing signal and had many other issues. Got RMA for refund from Handtec, sent phone back - no replies to my emails, no refund. Been nearly two weeks now. Will report to my credit card issuer and trading standards.
Just be careful where you buy your stuff!
Handtec are my favorite supplier and never had an issue with them whatsoever. You tried ringing them?

USB charging wasn`t bug.
Loosing reception on regular basis. Had to turn off/on to get back. Often asking for wireless network password when there is none set - worked with other phones and PC. Multiple touches not working in games in landscape mode. Once a day it will turn off itself for no reason.

I find this a little hard to believe, and totally invalidates your claim the phone was doing all of that stuff.

You have such right.
It was asking to type in password to connec to wifi when there was no password set. If you leave it blank, then it doesn`t let you continue, because password field is empty.
Maybe you weren't actually trying to connect to the right router? Did your router have a generic name?

Yes. Because mystical passwords that shouldn't be there is a widespread phone issue
Why bother taking your case off, or wearing out the battery cover clips, or move more the necessarily?
This has never failed me.
Yes. To be honest, though, I always thought that it was power+volume up.
nope, just one button.

Holding it down for around 10 seconds will also do a soft reboot.
You can also open up your dialer and punch in *#350# to do a full reboot.
Thanks for the tip, as a new E4GT and Droid user all these tips and tricks are helpful!
you would think this would be a universal feature on all electronics by now.

When people are shocked that you can "quickly and easily" adjust the brightness of your screen by sliding your finger across the notification menu, then yes, this is definitely ground-breaking news.
Any owner's manual typically holds a few nuggets of awesome like this.

It has nothing to do with trust. He clearly stated his agenda and never gave a timeframe. He even stated a few times he was working on the note abd other phones first since they were easier fixes than our "black sheep" of a phone. He is well know and i wouldnt think that hed take a phone just to take it and not evetually work on it.

The blobs that everyone donated for was clearly a possible hardware issue which means that nobody would be able to fix it without mods made by hand. At best all he could do was look into it. Its not his fault people paid for a new phone just to look into it.
The whole situation is analogous to if Samsung released a new phone where a quarter of them had bad search buttons. It could be a software issue but likely a hardware problem with QA. Instead of exchanging the phone people then proceeded to setup a bounty to buy a new phone to get this fixed. Its looked into and it turns out its just a bad solder connecting the search button. This would of been likely in the first place and people should of just exchanged their phone rather than setting up a bounty for something which has a fair likelihood of being a hardware issue.
You have a hardware issue then exchange your phone.
If the blobs bother you exchange your phone. If the blobs only bother you when you have to follow a page of instructions on how to see it, really. If you need to follow a multi step guide to see it then its not that big of a deal. If it is then exchange your phone.
Just curious...

I play it I notice it with auto brightness on mines so it doesn't bother me. Since my lines are not visible with auto brightness off. It doesn't bother me. Auto brightness is buggy on this phone. Anyway doesn't seem to accurate.

Yeaaa I turned brightness all the way up and it is much better of course but it is just unfortunate that this bandaid is the end all solution. The battery when playing a game and having the brightness all the way up gets effed.

I don't have to do that when auto brightness is on for me I have lines. When it's off at the lowest brightness no lines. If I can't see in the sun I just slide my fingers across the status bar to adjust.

My brother is there right now doing it. He wants to try to win with his S2 but they said if he loses, he has to sign a 2 year contract to keep his phone.
My screen does not record every press. Never misses a beat typing but selecting a thread from a list or a tweet from twitter feed or almost any random thing the first click may not record. I have to do it again. I wish I could increase sensitivity.
Does anyone else have this issue? Any suggestions?
Thanks!
My Verizon note 7 is on the truck for delivery today. I will share my experience after a day or of playing with it. Since it sounds like I can't root it yet I guess I can't tweak it too bad. Do you have a screen protector on yours by chance?

I have the same issue. Typing is on point with every touch but I too am noticing I have to press 2 and three times on things like links and such.

I should have mentioned I had the VZW rep put on a Zagg but it had bubbles and was peeling so I took it off. Problem did not improve. The odd thing is it doesn't affect typing at all. I type fast and no lags nor unrecorded presses. It does happen randomly in any app or screen though. Never when clicking to open an app but clicking on a phone number in missed calls, clicking a link in the browser, clicking to open a tweet or tapatalk thread or basically anything anywhere on the screen. Not a dead spot. The second click always works. It's incredibly annoying when you kind of look for it to happen again and of course it does
MODERATOR - Would this be a legit topic for main thread or strictly a Q AND A thing? It would get more looks in a main Note 7 thread. Thanks

Are you going to keep or exchange? I'm not sure what to do. I love the phone but really hate this issue.
Some claim an update will fix it but I called VZW and Samsung tech support and both said they never heard of any problems at all with Note 7. How can I hope for a fix if they don't know there is a problem?
I've had the same problem. Glad it's not just me.

I have a case on mine also. I'm not sure about taking it back just because of the time it takes me to set up. I can't see it being a hardware issue because the same point of touch will work perfect on somethings but not on others. Kinda torn on if its worth the setup time to exchange. As far as tech support have they ever admitted to a problem with any phone lol.
