Ken H., 09 Oct 2016I agree. ..feel the same . Too many suspicions and doubts a... moreFeel the same too. 90% of the accidents happened in USA and they never say anything about the Apple's explosion. Samsung's note series is the top brand that's why the American want to KO it.

Pedro-TheNeighbor, 10 Oct 2016As much as I want to keep using a Note7, the integrity of i... moreYes total agreed with you. I too hope Samsung will change their mind and make their new phone with removable battery. The note 4 is actully a really good phone. But sadly you could no longer get the original battery anymore. Of course you can buy aftermarket but it will die after 4 5 hours. So thats why I just give up and switch to note 7. My note 7 works perfect! Exceptional battery life. With light use it will last 2 days. And I have no issue with the battery at all. I even play games while charging and so far nothing happened. he battery is not even hot.

Techlord777, 10 Oct 2016Is there really a practical difference between 1024 and 409... moreExtra levels of sensitivity does help (been using Wacoms for decades!)
The Apple pencil, by default and most first gen pencil software, required 100% pressure to achieve 'FULL' width line/darkness.
It is stupid and impractical to press the pencil that hard against the screen.
Within a few months many software applications gave the option to adjust the parameters to make say 50% pressure represent 100% 'hardness'. Once the software allowed this tailoring the pencil was nice to use... before that.. too much sensitivity we could argue!
The real improvement is the 360Hz sampling rate.
The Apple Pencil, when being used, ramps the screen digitiser to 240Hz and that made drawing high speed circles 'very round'.
Why would I want to draw 'high speed circles'?
Probably don't... but, cursive writing is written quickly and is 'smooth'. A high digitiser sampling rate means that the cursive writing doesn't have straight lines when they should be wavy. Important when we are trying to interpret symbols and characters... we need accurate reproduction.
Sure.. the new Stylus will work on earlier Notes (anyone returning a Note 7; you can keep accessories, yes?!), and offer improvements... for me the .7mm nib is the real deal.

Tech Lord, 10 Oct 2016What did he say in that deleted post you replied to, before... moreContents of the deleted post that you could read my reply too....?
'anon' (although also has five to ten other logins...) was chiding another user, an owner of a Note 7, for their poor exploding and 'bad' phone. Then proclaiming how great their note 5 is.
This same user (I believe), when they had a Note Edge/Note 4, would jive everybody about how great it was.. then they got that Note 5 and they would annoy all Note Edge forum readers by taunting how cheap and dodgy the Note 4 was vs their 'premium' Note 5.
They didn't take well to critisism about non removable battery and no expandable memory, hence 'no upgrade from Note 4'.
The user, being so vocal for the 'greatness' that is the Note 5, has undertaken constant negativity for the Note 7 forum, and was attempting to aggravate the solemn Note 7 user who reluctantly has to retire their phone.
Saying some sillyness about "laughing last is best"..... (hence my reply)
It is sad to have to return the Note 7.
The reason no one wants to is no other flagships come close.
I even considered jumping ship to iOS, but one look at the iphone 7, and it just concreted my belief about how revolutionary the new Note is...
That same aesthetic that makes the Note 7 outstanding (vs most other phone designs) is also, in my opinion (IMO), what is causing Samsung its present woes!; the super flexible glass front and back providing little rigidity to the svelte aluminium frame... this phone has the ability to bend!!
And the battery isn't designed to flex!- it ruptures cells, and makes smoke escape from device (computers run on smoke; when the smoke escapes they stop working)..
Have we seen any exploded phones in rigid cases? (I haven't)
I think people sit on the Note 7, flex it, look at it, think 'fine', and go about continuing living a merry existence until their phone goes boom.
I could be wrong- but looking at the facts; phones never been used, are fine.
Samsung found no faults in lab environment.
Something in the 'realworld' is compromising this phone; possibly altitude adjustments effecting the cells; but I would seriously hazzard it is phone flex.
Samsung being able to cripple these phones via an update, and their present ineptness at convincing the world the issue has been isolated and corrected, is cause enough for me to move on (I hope not too, please Sammy, make it work out!).
Presently I have a replacement unit in the same rigid case I kept my origional in.
It is a tech21 wallet/foldover case. (It sucks/not recommended-The magnetic clip launches itself at the screen all the time; and it is metal..)
I would recommend the Spigen cases as a starting point. Get the two part frames that have a rigid and a soft component...

I believe that, this is big defilement against Samsung. Samsung shall thoroughly investigate these incidents from beginning. Found guilty or guilties... And this is a fact that, Note 7 is only and unrepeatable..!!!

What you said is really interesting for me.
I did not know, that the first Note N7000 had 256 pressure levels. I thought that it had none at all or maybe three or ten.
Great thanks again.

Techlord777, 10 Oct 2016Is there really a practical difference between 1024 and 409... moreFirst Galaxy Note had 256 levels of pressure sensitivity. Note II and 3 had 1024 levels of pressure. Note 4 and .5 have 2048.
Yes, the 4096 on the Note7 with 360 Hz instead of 240 Hz response has a very smooth effect. Note7 S Pen requires lesser pressure to exert to make heavier lines. Absolute pleasure when drawing.
Here are my time-lapse drawing results:

I can make thin and thick lines much better. Writing annotations is very good as well.

Anonymous, 10 Oct 2016I still waiting note 7 or note 8:)Guess what? Note 8 is already there and was actually released nearly four years ago. But that was Note 8.0. Do not confuse them, if possible.

Anonymous, 10 Oct 2016True. Note 7 pulled down Samsung.
Not Note 5, not S6.
Not... moreNote 5 is not shipped in many countries.
In some countries, the Note 4, S5 and Note 3 (next to S7) were the most future-proof phones after such a long time.
Remember, many Cars, Ships and Planes are multiple times as old as iPhone 2G.

And does 1024 on the Note 4 mean 512 on the Note 3? If so, then where is the purpose of more pressure levels? I have nothing against them, but they will barely improve anything in a practical way.

Anonymous, 10 Oct 2016At least Note 5 is not exploding and not cheap plastic!What is so bad about plastic? Why do you consider it as cheap? It is robust and does not break, scratch or slide out of the hand.
