I just got the iPhone 7 to replace my S7E. I had terrible battery life and the phone lagged at such weird times. While I think the hardware was probably better, iOS just kills it in the software department and close integration with the hardware. The S7E was my first Android device and I was a bit disappointed. I'm really happy to be back on iOS. And iMessage.
The Notes app has been broken for a few days now. Hope this fixes that.
(I launch it. It shows up. Within a few seconds it crashes. I suspect my data on iCloud might be corrupted or something...)
I think it is hit or miss and probably a carrier update issue. So far I have not noticed it using an AT&T SIM in a Verizon model (i.e. with the Qualcomm modem), but oddly some Verizon users are reporting issues.
I'm quiet impressed.Looks like you're the first hater here, but you already knew that.
In other news, my Note5's headphone jack works flawlessly.
No pairing issues, no sound drops, etc.
Frak bluetooth.
I'd rather deal with a wire than with intermittent, random silences.
That was fixed in the T-Mobile 25.2 carrier settings update![]()
So it's not just me? I've had a case open with Apple concerning connection drops w/ AT&T. They occur randomly throughout the day. Right now I've got a Genius Bar appt. for tomorrow (assuming it's hardware) and was planning to visit AT&T for a new SIM card this afternoon.
When it drops, it always follows the same pattern:
- start some data action (app download, FB feed refresh, etc.)
- get 5 bars w/ AT&T and no LTE icon.
- get No Service
- wait 3-6 seconds
- service gets restored
You can see these (in order top to bottom) in the image I posted.
I've seen this with both 10.0.1 and 10.1 beta 1. I was hopeful the new AT&T carrier settings would help but they didn't.
I'd say this happens about 5 times a day.
Does this update fix the issue where people who don't have an iPhone constantly bring up issues they don't really have in online forums?
Yeah for you lucky guys on Tmobile. No fix for any of the other carriers, I've seen complaints on Sprint, ATT and Verizon. Hopefully we get something soon.

With my 7+ on Verizon I get no service, but not for seconds, it lasts for several minutes.

I believe it only addresses the issue of someone complaining about someone else complaining.
Same things they always say. Lies.
iOS gets released to hundreds of millions of people and you're bound to find bugs. This is an absolute in the software industry: More people using your software equals more bugs found. Apple patches them (like they do every year) in a timely manner and life goes on.
When Google releases a new version of Android the adoption rates are abysmal. So it appears that new Android releases have fewer bugs when the real issue is there's not enough people using it to actually build up a database of issues. If you actually looked at the number of issues discovered over a period of one year you'd see that Android has just as many as iOS. The difference is the complete cluster**** that is the Android update model which means it's a crapshoot when you get these fixes.
By the time 3 months goes by iOS 10 will have received several updates and fixes. If you're on Android you're lucky if your phone even gets Nougat after 3 months.
Tell me how it goes. Last time (a week ago) I updated my phone, I couldn't use it for a few hours, and was worried I lost everything.
Fool me once...
Wonder if this fixes the issue with not being able to get 4G on Three in the UK.
You have verizon? Same is happening to me.
"No Service" after turning airplane mode, even in areas where my 6s showed full LTE bars

I think there might have been something wrong with your phone then, the battery life on the S7 Edge is very very good, much better than any iPhone. Always-on display and fast-charge is great. Most of the hardware complaints people have with the iPhone, even the 7 series, are resolved with the S7 Edge.
Although, I do agree with the integration, mostly that I can't sync bookmarks with the built in Internet browser. I probably could with Chrome, but that doesn't support adblockers, which is a real pain. Outside the US, most people use WhatsApp, so iMessage largely irrelevant. I was a reluctant switcher after being an iPhone user since the original but lack of decent innovation pushed me to the S7 Edge and I don't regret it. Oh, and split-screen apps are great too.
But I don't want to come across as a troll, I just wish Apple had kept up with the competition more.
"They" Why does there have to be a "they"? I use both Android and Apple and love them both, I'd say the majority of users on here are the same. Maybe if "we" moved away from this us versus them mentality we could move on to some good conversation, instead of always being stuck in this quagmire of insults and fighting over what corporations which only care about your money do.
Enjoy your phone!!

After being bitten by the iOS 10 brick update and after last years iOS 9.0.1 update that removes phone features from iPhone, I'm hesitant to update to this until I get the all clear from someone.
