Holy shit i did not know how amazing rapid chargers are, i have this at my desktop and bed
rapid charger and it charges my note4 in 1 hour? two hours from dead. My wife went on a trip and took my charger, so i just rumaged and found a ipad charger, its like 2 hours and it's still 24%
It's so shitty, i have to swap out batteries and let my stand alone battery charger, charge it up fast instead.

Android 7 was released today. They started pushing it out slowly to Nexus devices today.
If you want it right away sign up for the "beta" and it'll get pushed to your eligible Nexus device almost instantly.

Went from a Note 5 to a Note 7 as well, and first thing I noticed was the resolution, while I think even better, was out of whack? Everything appears bigger. I had to adjust my keyboard (Swiftkey 4 life!) to a smaller size, but even other apps, the text is bigger, and I'm not sure why? It's like the whole phone by default is in some kind of accessibility option that zoomed everything in. Totally weird.
As for the always on, I don't mind it and leave it there, although I'm constantly clicking the power button still to turn the screen "off" and then just end up turning it on. When the Edge screens fist came out a couple years ago, I thought that they would be useful for a phone sitting on your desk, and you could see notifications and stuff on the edge... then realized in practical use, you can see your whole phone, so seeing notifications just on the Edge is stupid. I hope I can find some use for the Edge, because as of right now it's pretty stupid.

Thanks for the info. You weren't kidding, I got the update nearly the second I hit "accept" to the Beta.

Man this Note 7 is seriously nice. I think I may just keep it! Still haven't used all the features but it's a serious upgrade from the iPhone 6s. The screen is just ridiculous. I'm not a fan of touchwiz but its not nearly as bad as I remember. All in all, I might just be converted until the iPhone 8 with an AMOLED screen. Then we'll revisit this.

I know the USB C adapters are hit and miss. Anyone got a trusted brand that wont blow up your phone? I need a couple 6 foot cabled and a one foot one. Is there anything special that they must contain to be compatible with quick charge? Some cable I see listed on Amazon have 56k resistors built in. Thanks in advance.

This is the accessories package that I ended up picking up to have my Note 7 in tip top shape! I've got a million Micro-USB cables, so I got 4 adapters so that my car charger, and a few around the house/work still worked. It was nice that Samsung included with the Note 7 1 Micro-USB to USB-C adapter.

Yeah, it's buggy, try refreshing, because they are showing up for me, but sometimes won't. It's weird.
If you quote my post, you can see the links I think.
Quick note on the Anker adapters, someone used some testing equipment to and the Anker seemed to have better numbers for pass-through current, than others. It's why I went with those.

After having it for about 5 months, I can say without a doubt that the blackberry priv is the shitposters phone of choice. Being able to type on a physical keyboard with no screen real estate taken up by a virtual keyboard is fantastic. It's not the perfect device, but for the shitposter on the go, it's the only device.

256gb SD card, or Samsung Fit 2 smartwatch. Ugh... 256gb SD card has subjective value because of sales and diminishing value of storage. Fit 2 could see limited use, as who knows if I'll like it, and I could wear it a week and then never again.
Tough choice bros!

With googledrive/dropbox why do you need such a large card anyway? have fun with the smartwatch (i've only had the pebble, so i wouldn't know about the fit2 tho)

Fit2 I'm finding pretty handy - checking notifications quick, controlling spotify, declining calls I don't give a shit about for the moment, etc without even picking up the phone have been pretty handy thusfar for bonuses of it. Plus the theoretical health tracking benefits once we start our exercise regime.
It's a no brainer to me to go for the Fit2 personally.
Although do make sure to measure the wrists that will be using it - pretty sure 90% of adults are going to be Large for them, I'm quite small wristed for an adult man and I'm 3 notches from being out of the range for Small.

Vaclav, what receipt did you upload to Samsung for your free Fit 2? The receipt I got from Verizon says nothing at all that I ordered a Note 7. Will that work?
