I received mine early, next day delivery.
The phone works great, except for the camera. It has issues auto-focusing. If I double tap the home the camera remains unfocused for a lengthy period of time. Sometimes it will remain unfocused. Doesn't matter whether it's attempting to focus near or far, set to auto or selective focus mode, or opening from lock screen or camera app.
Did you remove the plastic?

I LOL'd then realized I haven't taken mine off either, yet.

Wow, I feel like an idiot.
I didn't realize there was a small bit of plastic attached to it.
It would explain why the focus worked when I "cleaned" the lens.
Also realized there are 2 pieces of plastic, on both the flash and the lens.
The plastic on the camrea doesnt cover the lense, so what the point of removing?
I made a post on this in the main S6/Edge section. I'll make it in here too. Be careful not scratching the lens or flash. The flash one is very hard to get off. Stupid Samsung doesn't put tabs on them so it would be easier to pull off.
You don't have to pull them off but I like to since maybe it's causing a glare.

I have a faint white line next to the tower. Not sure if it's because of the protectors.

So I removed both covers, and it's helped some, but the auto-focus is still a little slow.
Here's the screwed up part, if I pick up the phone while facing screen side up and then double tap the home, the auto-focus is sluggish (takes 2-5 seconds to focus)
If I leave the phone screen side down and then flip it up, double tap home for the quick cam, the auto-focus is quicker (camera is already focused by the time the screen activates).
If I flip the camera screen side down while it's having trouble focusing, the focus may catch and actually work.
I don't think this is normal.

My devil of a son threw my new phone on the floor and cracked the screen pretty bad requiring me to change it. Left a big hole in my wallet too. After changing the screen, I found that my s pen is acting a bit weird. In air view mode, the dot is off by around 2 mm.
I also noticed that the pen sensitivity has also reduced.
Is there any fix for this problem?
I have tried using reset s pen app from the market, but it doesn't seem to help either.

First; turn on auto rotate if it's already on turn it off and on. Then go to display setting and recalibrate horizontal and gyro, finally go to your home screen and scribble the spen around the screen with it held at all angles and draw into the corners. If this doesn't fix it then maybe it's a hardware issue.
If the sensitivity is not right there are two options I know of; open open up the cover/button and adjust the dial underneath, or do as I did and slam the spen quite firmly onto a hard flat surface. (I actually layered mine between two coasters to protect the funny shaped end and hit the side with it at about a third the strength I imagine youd need to break it - it worked wonders for mine. )

Thanks for all your suggestions. I Did what you suggested. Claibrating the gyroscope dis nothing much. Slammed the spen but doesn't help.
Opened the spen and tried adjusting the screws inside... Didn't see much difference.
Guess that leaves me with the only option of heading to the service center and talk to those experts out there.

I dont want to create one more thread, so i will write about my problems here. I have similar problem as OP has.
My wacom sensor behaves strangely in the corners and the edge of the screen.
Here is a picture that demonstrates the problem clearly. All the lines should be straight, but they are not.

Inspired by this thread.
Since it's raining outside today Imma stick indoor and carry out this small project that I've had in-mind for quite sometime

-A cheap PnS camera, in this case I used a Kodak Star MD300 but I guess any camera is fine.
-A screwdriver.
-A scissor.
-3M foam tape.
-My N5 with Nilkin case on.
Disassemble the camera and take this little plastic gem out:
Put two stripes of 3M tape on the case, close to the lens:
And then just put the lens on top and push it gently to secure it:
Make sure the lens are aligned by get a blank image and look at it through the N5 camera, of course there will be darkened corners (vignetting) but make sure they are even:
And that's it, your are good to go.
Here are two samples:
Congrats for your project, the result is impressive!
i tried to do it with this camera http://www.letsgodigital.org/en/news/articles/story_5706.html but it didnt work.
I dont know if its not the right lens but all i could see from N5 was a blur picture.
Maybe it dont need to be a digital camera?Can you help?

What we did here is actually putting a close up lens on the N5 so you have to put the phone very close to the subject to get a sharp picture.

I just took the camera i linked you and made it into pieces and i took the lens.then i put it in front of the camera,but the results wasnt the expected.
You don't have to take the clear protectors off the camera and flash but I like to. Plus I thought maybe it was causing a glare even though it has a hole.
It's not easy getting off especially the flash one. I did it carefully because I didn't want to scratch them. Samsung should have put tabs on them so it would be easy to take off.

Plastic on the flash and camera

I used my index finger nail not much of one and just moved up from the button of the flash. Just a little at a time. Once you see it move or come up some then you can use your index finger and thumb to peel it off. Maybe a girls longer nails would work better. Hehe. Just be careful and go slow. Oh boy that sounds bad. LoL
You could have a rep at your carrier try to get it off. Then if they mess it up you can blame them. I would think as long as you don't take a screw driver you should be ok. LoL

Use scotch tape. Cut a small piece and carefully stick it onto the film edge avoiding the cut outs for the lens and flash, then pull up slowly to lift off the film. You can get the whole film off or at the very least a small portion enough to take out the entire film.
i got it off finally lol i had to keep picking at it, eventually got my fingernail under there
Maybe I'm being over sensitive but I've noticed 2 issues:
1. I came from the s7 edge & the home button was very stiff and had a satisfying "click" the note 7 button seems pretty squishy in comparison.
2. My S-pen seems to kind of hang out at a slight angle when in the phone. Like, instead of continuing the straight line of the bottom of the phone it kind of angles slightly downward toward the corner.

My button seems very sturdy/click. As for the stylus, seems normal, maybe very very slightly out. But not bothersome.

Actually looking again, seems flush mostly
It is flush for the most part but it does kind of have a downward slope and the button isn't super soft but it does have kind of a sweet spot to it and it is definitely not as stiff as the s7 edge. I'm just extremely skittish because I had a ton of issues with the note 5 and I don't want a repeat of that experience.
Hello. Some weeks ago I sent my Nexus 5X to the technical assistance with the problem I described here https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/brick-apparently-reason-t3680715. Now they told me that they won't repair it under warranty because they found traces of liquid/oxide inside it, so they are sending it back to me unfixed. Now I find this odd because the only encounters it has made with water were in the form of small quantities dropped on the screen (the amount you can drop by moving a glass in the air too quickly) which I dried immediately and the symptoms seemed to point to a bad contact. Anyway the repair center provided an image in which seems that actually some liquid has made it inside the case, but I can't recognize which part of the phone it is. Here's the image:

So the questions are: which is the part in the photo? Do you have an idea about how could have a liquid made it inside the phone (I think that is unlikely that it was by dropping something on the screen)? Do you think that the problem I experienced is compatible with a water-induced short circuit or any other damage by liquid?
Thanks in advance for your answers and explanations
I actually thought that was a picture of the shipping box before I read your post. I took mine apart to where I could pull the motherboard off, and there definitely wasn't blue tape holding something down. The only thing I can think of is that is maybe the back of the screen. Which would be after pulling the metal frame off.
Check out these pictures. If you go all the way toward the end steps, you can see you get all the way until there is mostly the metal frame inside the plastic and stuck to the back of the display without seeing anything that looks like your picture.
Their picture honestly seems to be an entirely different phone. But of course they may have changed assembly and parts at some point. I would take it apart when you get it back, take pictures and if nothing looks like the picture they sent, see if you can appeal or whatever. Maybe you can just point to the 3rd party teardowns and ask them to point out where they claim the picture is from.

I think it's under the battery, the blue part looks like the battery adhesive but it's normally black,
It was was to get behind there it would of had to enter via the simcard
