Bad news: https://www.rvmobileinternet.com/foxfi-fans-beware-upgrading-to-android-7-0-nougat/
Not many people left grandfathered into verizon, so it only effects a few people, and probably makes the phone less likely to get a virus. My question is does it effect apps like the hacked pandora app and tubemate?
I'm not who you think I am.

Activated my V20.

Seems like a great phone. Love the metal build. Love the fingerprint placement on the back. I've never locked my phone in the past, but I can deal with the fingerprint lock on this phone. However when I use the screen off app button that I loved on my Note Edge it disables the ability to turn the phone back on via fingerprint which is an annoyance.

Still getting used to not having a hard home button and I miss the edge screen, though the 2nd screen is nice.

Hate the loss of FoxFi WiFi. Thankfully it does still work over Bluetooth and USB.

Annoyed that LG and VZW still aren't selling spare batteries. Anyone home?

how did you get foxfi to work with usb?

I agree with the annoyance of not having a hard home button.
The fingerprint reader is lightning fast as well which is nice

Downloaded the windows program and followed instructions:

Worked great via USB and Bluetooth. Would have bailed right away and stocked up on a few Note Edges if it didn't work :D

Thanks for the review, thinking of getting one.

Regarding turning the screen off; why do you need the app when you can utilize the double tap on/off?

I've been using USB for 2 years now and actually find it works better than the WiFi did.

Gd bless you!
My Note Edge didn't have that feature.
What else is new since KitKat?

I know for sure the 1+1 does it too.
Could be more phones as well.
