Are you guys experiencing the same issues as release week~ units? or have custom roms eliminated the issue...?
Its $679 for 2 yr Snap 600 or same price for Exynos5 on newegg at the moment...so, choices! I received a broken note 2 and have gone through hell & back again with tmo to put a GS4 Replacement EIP up with remorse because they botched up the first order for the GS4 EIP Replacement so badly.
I doubt there will be many people here with the 5/16 Batch since there werent so many to begin with since it went right into backorder again to point they're shipping as received with no real date anymore.

If you go into QA & Help and in general theres a multitude of issues many people are experiencing...
Well I've had mine since the 30th, and I think I'm like most in saying I've experienced no real issues. An update came out within a week that improved performance among other things. Every phone as bad copies, and it's luck of the draw if you do get a bad one. Fact is, people are 100x more likely to leave a review of something is wrong verses everything being OK. So I don't think you have anything to worry about.
Nor do I think they've changed their production setup. If anything because of continued global demand, production line employees/suppliers may be under more pressure now and likely to make oversights.

what issues bro ?
i'm getting one from the 5/16 batch. going through exchange via buyers remorse. ordered yesterday morning and will be here monday. my brother got a release day (online) phone and his is perfect. it's become the norm for me to usually have to exchange the first phone...
whats wrong with yours if I may ask.

Lol ... paranoid people find issues in all batches. Have zero issues from the device bought on launch day.

I was one of the few (many) that got the phone from the original batch on launch day and had problems with the wifi. After much research, attempting every "fix" I could find and my own trial-and-error I determined that it had to be a power-related hardware fault within the Broadcom chip so I sent the phone to Samsung. They either couldn't fix it or didn't even try because they've shipped me a new phone. Hopefully it'll be from the newer batches - I'll know Tuesday and will update with results!
I dipped my entire phone into glitter then pissed on it. And it still works flawlessly.
...
I got my device on launch as well, so far the only thing that has been bugging me is the lag due to getting the T-Mobile My Account app keeps FC'ing. I'm thinking if I should root the phone and get rid of a few stuff or just flash a new rom altogether. Still waiting on when the Google S4 will come into play. I still have time until the Google version comes out that I can return my phone =)

Had mine for less than one week and i have not experience any issues.... no problematic lag or heating... not sure what else was "real" issue?? i am running the new OTA update as well.. so that might have "fixed" some of these problems.
could be a case of a few (maybe very few) phones causing lots of "noise" (problems being reported) ... just my 2cents
the wife had the same issue - i uninstalled the "my account" updates from inside the play store - and then there was no upgrades the next time i went into the play store. works much better with the "factory version"
I have the dlink wifi issue. I tried running a linksys router to one of the dlink port which worked but I have to turn bluetooth off. Really odd. I'm getting another one tomorrow so I'll post if the new batch is any better.

Hey guys,
I saw this smartwatch on Indiegogo the other day and I think it's pretty sweet.

Looking at the specs sheet alone its definitely something.
What do you guys think? Get it or wait till more is out?

Well if that's the case, I doubt it'll be anytime soon. Seeing as there hasn't really been any leaks for a Google smartwatch so far.
Kreyos it is....for now.
I love the voice search thing. Hopefully it has full support for Google Now. A watch is useless without voice recognition.
However, I like to be able to stream music remotely to it and plug in my 3.5mm headphones. I know that's asking a bit much, but I think it's somewhat reasonable. Does anybody else think that should be a thing?
I'll wait for a Nexus watch. Google will have the most optimized watch for Android. Hopefully.
I backed this up the first day it was on indiepop. We'll see come november how it works with android phones. Even if an nexus watch does come out, I highly doubt it'll have a speaker, voice control AND be waterproof.
Ive been looking for a good smart watch for a while, have been waiting to see what comes about.
The nexus one i cant see coming out for a good 6 months + yet,
The new sony watch looks gorgeous but function is a bit boring, the greykos function looks good but i think
it looks ugly!
I thought so too at first, but I guess the design grew on me.

Haha. Smartwatch was implied, my good man. There is no way a watch can achieve its full potential if you can't enter text into it.
I've been using Casio watches for like the past 10 years. Great stuff, but I'm ready to make the switch to Smartwatches.
Just went ahead and the pledged for it.. Hopefully it's worth the 129$

Been a fair while since the last post here, but just to let anyone seeing this know Kreyos STILL haven't sent out these damn watches.
The first 5000 have been sent via ship to the US but now have apparently been stopped by the US longshoreman contract negotiations, this being the fourth delay in shipping.
I've backed out and bought a Gear Live watch instead.
Android Wear shows far more promise than Kreyos' watches and I suggest anyone that wants their watch before Smartwatches are a thing of the past should just ask for a refund and get something that can actually ship before hell freezes over.
I remember there being some issues with last year's model as well, but luckily our unit was okay.
Just as the Nexus 7 was announced, I was already scheduled to be in New York as of tomorrow until the 6th (I live in Canada), and the device would be shipped to my grandparent's house. The device is there and waiting for me tomorrow.
I worry because if my unit has some sort of defect, there isn't any Best Buy nearby where I would be able to exchange the unit (32GB).
Is there a great likelihood of there being something wrong, or it just seems like the majority of devices are defective since those are the people that post their defects? Also, what options do I have to resolve the problem if there does happen to be something wrong?
The things I plan on looking for are:
-Random coloured pixels
-Dead Pixels
-Dust under screen
Any others that aren't as obvious?
Thank you for the input!
Some people also reported that there's a jumpy multitouch issue. Personally, I don't see this on my Nexus 7 so YMMV.
I have no issues with mine, and I'm assuming most are Ok. You've got to consider those with serious issues are likely the minority, just people aren't making threads when they have a perfect tab, just those with defects. If you do have a defect, ship it back for another from whomever you purchased it from.

If people didn't tel you, you wouldn't know any better and be on your merry way. My 2012 N7 creaks a little when you squeeze it, but I wouldn't have noticed it if no one told me. Ditto on the lens rattle on the N4.
Buy it, go home, and enjoy it in ignorance.
I have no issues with mine; I'm a very happy camper indeed. Part of me wants to say that there are a good number of hurt iPad mini users trolling these boards looking for issues and then magnifying them. Right now Android has a big target on it's back from iSheep and WP fanbois. But of course there is a chance of getting dead pixels, bad displays or lint under the screen. It happens to me all the time no matter if it's Android or iOS devices. But this time it's different because now Apple/WP fans are the underdogs while Android is the king. And every wants to kill a king.

Mine rebooted randomly a few times as well. Haven't updated to latest version though. I personally wouldn't risk exchanging it because you risk worse hardware, and the reboots should only be a software issue. Perhaps you could try a factory reset? Or updating to latest version if haven't already done so.
I've been lucky with this one, but Asus is the real issue here. They consistently have QC problems with their tablets.
I had no problems with the 2012 Nexus 7 and I have no issues (yet) with this version.

Maybe it's expectations of perfection and anything less is considered an issue? Some are genuine but then again,a stuck/dead pixel happens on lcd monitors all the time, yet it doesn't get reported as often as something that gets people as excited as the N7 has. Same with laptops.

New Note 7 update is rolling out to limit the battery to 60%. Dont take accept it if you plan on keeping it.
Also, they might blacklist all Note 7 phones, so you might want to think about that.

Still rocking my "safe" lol....replacement Note 7, and was lucky enough to root (store didn't update the the phone during activation). All OTA's blocked, so no 60% for me, thank you.
Happy to hold my Note 7.
Not happy with Samsung's tactics.
Still waiting for a report on just what caused Note 7's to flame out and then just as suddenly stop.
I'm still using my Note 7. Still deferring the update that caps battery at 60%.
No point leaving this phone until I absolutely have to. It's the best smartphone I've ever used.
I feel sorry for those folks that got duped into returning their phones......not.
I am struggling with the "no 3rd party updates".....never happened.
I am pizzed to have been booted from Verizon's network......never happened.
The lack of security updates have made my life hell.....not.
When Play Store booted me I began to cry.....never happened.
When Sammy sent out the apocalyptic EMP laden hammer down it also took out my hearing aid.....never happened.
Got all my Sales Tax back, every payment back, still charging to 100%. Use it daily.
THIS IS TORTURE!!!
Oh, and my Upgrade eligibility is still in tact.......think I'll commit suicide for Christmas this is so terrible.
Still using mine and must say it runs cooler then my last three phones. Kinda funny to see some people's reactions when you tell them what phone you have ( oh no it's going to blow up).

How did folks get duped ? You are not allowed to carry the Note 7 on a plane and some public transportation. Emails were being sent not to charge your phone in University libraries and many public areas.
Okay, you got yourself a free phone now, thats cool.
I got a little less than $1,000 check from Sammy for turning in my Note 7.....this happened.

Foxfi works on the Note 7.
My VZ hotspot works fine. Just used it earlier today.
Using my Note 7 with no problems just a fast and dependable phone. In fact I doubled down on the Note 7 by purchasing the "Samsung Note 7 Battery Back Pack" for $38.95 on Amazon. Had the back pack for a week now an it is great to have on the go battery reserves.

What the hell man? I'm coming from a Note 5... Never had a problem with Bluetooth or wifi.
No matter what I'm streaming through with this pixel 2 xl, it skips and stutters. Often stops songs half way through and starts playing the next track.

You can check your manufactured date then maybe compare to your replacement, my production date was well after the device had any complaints. Just something to look into.
Mine works fine but Bluetooth is sketchy in my Ram... Meaning it works but doesn't display anything in the radio display. My s9+ works fine.
My Bluetooth and wifi are solid. Sorry you got a bad experience. I hope exchange fixes everything.
Exchange it if you are within the period or RMA it. At most you will be without a phone for a week while they ship you a new one.
