I had the nexus 5x. It becomes a slow after few app install.

Camera I think nexus 5x is better for quality but the speed that s7 takes makes up for it.

Overall I think s7 is years ahead of N5x. And with themes I can make it have dark screen everywhere and get rid of TouchWiz icons.

But.s7 absolutely needs a case. I just cracked the rear glass by the phone dropping out of my pocket while sitting down. Less than 1.5ft drop on to a tile and crack!!

Get insurance and a case. I'm sure glad I got the phone and insurancs.. just have to wait for the phone to release.. lol

First of all I'm not a nexus fan I'm an android fan. This forum is for people to share their opinion. Not for users to bash others for theirs. How about you Samsung pole riders have some class and respect others for their opinion. I'm not even dogging the phone. It probably will be great. All I said was that its over hyped and that it wasn't MY cup of tea. And I shared my factual experience. Just because your phone works a year later doesn't mean I'm lying about mine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Keep it polite please, we all have different opinions but lets not let the thread become a flame war
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] the Doctor:
I don't use cases on my phones. Also, three weeks ago was just two weeks before 2Q16 and >4 months after the release of Marshmallow. It still hasn't rolled out to all phones in all regions yet. And, let's not get started on AOSP/CyanogenMod for Samsung devices. They never release full kernel sources compete with drivers for every component, so a complete, working and stable ROM is in the very distant future.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] NaimC:
The reason I criticised your post in particular is because you're referring to a device as overhyped, even though you don't even own it! You may not have realised it, but the S6 and S7 are two different devices, and your supposed experience with one, is not automatically indicative of the other. You've literally pre-emptively assumed the phone is overhyped on baseless merit, and then come in to a thread about how good the device is, to randomly share that.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] garylgray:
Just like the thread is about it being a perfect phone. Lol. That's hypocritical.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] NaimC:
How is that hypocritical? These are mostly opinions from people (like me) who actually bought one and have first hand experience with it. As I already stated, you trying to downplay the device as overhyped without even properly experiencing it, and then feeling the need to sing the praises of a Nexus device instead, just reeks of saltiness.

Imagine if you will, a thread about how the Nexus 6P was a perfect phone, and someone coming in to the thread and posting something akin to "The Nexus 6P is overhyped, trust me I used the Nexus 5 so I know. The iPhone 6S is much better." Such a post would likely be seen as equally inept.

At least mention specific things about the device (not over devices) that you think prevent it from being perfect, or something more useful and relevant.

P.S I don't think the S7/S7 Edge are perfect, there's really no such thing. But in the context of the thread, they're closer to perfect than any other device currently on the market, at least for my current needs, for the reasons outlined throughout the thread, as well as in numerous reviews and previews.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] garylgray:
I've spent extensive time with it first of all, so please don't assume that I don't have one in my possession. Second, just because YOU own one doesn't make your opinion of it any more valid. And if I saw that in a nexus thread I'd say, oh that's that guys opinion. I don't agree but I wouldn't flame or bash him either. That's not what XDA is about. Now please, leave me be. I've said countless times, its my OPINION. I like what Samsung is doing, I just don't think it deserves all the praise. And I'm entitled to think that. No matter how much YOU love the phone. I don't understand why it pains you so much that I enjoy something else better. Lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] hella356:
I'd say (for me) the S7 is the closest to perfect of any phone I've seen. If there was a version of the S7 that had the polycarbonate body, removable battery, & same size & weight as my S4, I'd call that pretty much perfect. The point is that "perfect" means different things to different people.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] NaimC:
Of course you have extensive experience with it now ;) Lol. Despite a complete omission to mention that or any specifics about the S7 in your initial post, instead opting only to talking about your experience with an S6, which you thought sucked. Sounds like backtracking to me.

Also, it doesn't pain me to hear you preferring another device. Instead I welcome it. Talk about missing the point. I'm not the one going in to Nexus theads to bash the device based on my (supposed) experience with a different, older device, and then praising the S7 instead.

But let's just leave it at that. You are indeed entitled to an opinion, even if it is a baseless or bias one, though people are naturally also entitled to an opinion about your opinions too.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dandroid13:
Well, there was the beta back in january. And I'm not talking about it in a bad way, it sucks because it's AOSP and lacks all the great things that TW has.

My point is, there's a lot of development for the S6, custom TW ROMs, kernels, scripts, mods, you name it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] the Doctor:
And back to my original point, that comes at the cost of tripping Knox, potentially losing your warranty, breaking Samsung Pay, etc., etc. That's a big downside to anything Samsung for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dandroid13:
Sure, but TW is fine, you can apply a theme and it looks just like stock Android, it used to bad, but not anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] the Doctor:
I'm a certified flashaholic since 2011--applying a theme won't feed my addiction. That's why I'm keeping my OnePlus One to tinker with :D But, yeah. TouchWiz looks a whole lot better now than in previous years.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] matheus_sc:
after see some videos s7 have same problem than s6, ram sucks, its far from perfect, i will keep my nexus 6p.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] gekkehenkie11:
Same here. I'm pretty sure people moving from the 6p to the S7 will be disappointed. I know Touchwiz just isn't for me, the ram management alone would drive me crazy. 2.8 gb used after running a memory cleaner, that's just horrible. And although I'm sure the S7 will run quite nicely, I'm also pretty sure it just won't run as smoothly as the 6p. Everything on the 6p just flies !

The display will be nicer on the S7 and if you're a gamer, then I'm sure games will run a tad better too. But I'm pretty sure I'd miss my 6p.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] lopri:
If you use your phone in rough environments you probably will want to invest in cases. I know it is a luck of draw when disaster happens, but for me glass construction held its own fairly well against occasional drops. Waist-height drops have not caused any damage to my glass phones to date.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dema1995:
Look at youtube...there are many videos that show the ram management of s7...far away from s6...s7 can run the same app of 6p...if you want i can link you the video..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DSF:
[MENTION=5542666]Dema1995[/MENTION] please link that video. Honestly i've expected more from samsung after ultra bad multitasking experience on the s6.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dema1995:
https://youtu.be/MQ8pTGCcW7A

Not bad for the s7...samsung will improve after launch for sure..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] gekkehenkie11:
I'm not sure I'm following you. The video shows that it shuts down the apps. How is it showing it's not bad ? Or are you referring to the load times ? Those are (very) good indeed but that doesnt have to do much with memory management.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dema1995:
S7 keep in memory two games and many apps

The clock is probably a bug...

Nothing to do with ram management like s6
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] matheus_sc:
In some vídeos only mantain 7 apps and 0 games
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dema1995:
I'll test tomorrow maybe :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] gekkehenkie11:
To me it seems like Touchwiz memory management is killing the app
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dema1995:
Maybe, but....why???
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DSF:
It's preety bad considering that the s7 has 4gb of ram!!

And don't be too sure about that. Don't forhmget many of us got high hopes that the s6 multitasking will be fixed with a software update. And here we are after about 1 year and we still got this problem. And it's a shame. (I have the official android 6.0.1 and yes, the issue is still here).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dema1995:
What do you want? Do you use 7492538 apps at the same time?? Once I can manage 4-5 apps (plus two games) at the same time I don't really care about ram management..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DSF:
Do you use chrome? Do you open couple of tabs in background?

If not, you wil not understand me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dema1995:
I'll try as soon as possible...but many feedback said that ram management is good..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DSF:
S7 with 4gb ram is near onpar (in some cases subpar) with nexus with 3gb of ram. If we conpare with iphones, it takes lessons from 6s with 2gig of ram :).

Also i've seen a comparison with some huawei (i think mate 8) and oh dear, so much better multitasking experience
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dema1995:
Yes, it's true but nexus devices have maybe half features than samsung
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Spike96:
About everyone complaining that it is not a Nexus, you're damn right it's not.

The Nexus 6P was also close to perfect phone. I loved a lot about it. But still, when buying a phone I consider hardware specs more than software.

The S7 has the SD card and waterproofing - something I cannot say that same for the Nexus 6P.

The SD card is essential for me. I travel with my entire music library on me (~60 GB). While I can buy a 128 GB Nexus 6P, why would I pay an extra $200 for the same amount of memory I can get on a $50 SD card? Yea, internal storage is faster, but that doesn't matter when it comes to simply playing music.

Plus, waterproofing is so nice. Not essential, but it makes me wanna give it that "perfect" label.

The "perfect" label is there for me because the S7 embodies all of the positive features I have ever seen in an Android phone into one device that does not show any compromise.

[I left out specs like RAM, camera, processor because they're so similar when comparing the two phones]

Nexus devices are nice with development. But, that's not to say that the hardware specs don't even need to be considered. C'mon guys, show a little pragmatism.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] FalconFX:
Straight BS. I had the OPO for over 1.5 years. Battery life is just as good as day one.

It will be the same for atleast 2yrs before you start noticing any drop in endurance. And i too prefer having all day battery life than baving to carry a spare one to change it mid-day
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stevethegreat:
It depends on how much you use it. What you say is physically impossible though, I straight up don't believe you, as it goes against how lithium cells work. Every 300-500 full charges a phone loses 25% of its battery.

Measure the mAh of your Oppo, you'd be surprised how less battery it already holds. You've just grown accustomed to it because it happens little by little.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] FalconFX:
You dont have to believe me. I have no reason to lie. But yeah. I consistently got 5-6hrs SOT everytime until last week when i got the S7Edge.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stevethegreat:
No the reason that I don't believe you is not because you're lying. You think you're telling the truth, like those people thinking that they found faster than light particles thought they were telling the truth. It's just physically impossible, so you're certainly wrong.

Discharge your phone to 0%, then take an Amperometer that also measures AH connect it between your phone and charger and start measuring. You'll get about 15%-25% less battery than when you first bought the phone.

The SoT tells nothing, it equally has to do with software/firmware optimzations which may be getting better lately, it's also heavily depended on brightness (which you may well have lower than in the first days)...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] FalconFX:
I know what you mean. I have a laptop. And in HWmonitor it shows that it lost around 10% over 1yr of use. But the battery is quite big, so the dramatic drop is logical. But for a significant ly smaller battery. I think even 5% drop in capacity is pretty dramatic over the same period of time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stevethegreat:
The loss is statistical and has to do with how lithium cells charge and discharge. There is a statistical expectation that each time your phone discharges some cells never charge back. Do it long enough and an asymptote with 0 Mah will be created. That is to say that your battery lose charge faster at first but less as time goes by, you'd never actually reach 0 battery but you will reach to a point that the battery life is useless for you. Thankfully that takes upwards to 5 years of heavy use, however long before that your battery would already hold quite less charge, it is inevitable.

My 15% figure is what I find out for all/most of my phones after a 1 year of medium/heavy use, so only holding 2500 mah by the end of the first year is very realistic expectation for S7. If you find an Amperometer that also measures Mah measure your S7 edge right now and then a year from now , you'll found out that my quoted figures would closely resemble your figures as well ... batteries lose charge, that's one of their great weaknesses in fact. Tesla motors knows this, that's why they include servicing of the batteries as part of buying their cars. Now if you keep your phone for a year or two that's a non issue , for the rest of us it's a big issue...

Hello fellow modders :cowboy:

new user here :]

i need help solving this issue on my Sony xperia z1 c6903 ver 5.1.1 lollipop

i tried to root my phone today using kingroot i did it before but it failed so i decided to give it a shot today and suprisingly it WORKED!

Then i installed super su me which can replace kinguser with SuperSu

i pressed the button and kinguser got replaced by superuser

after that it reccomended me to reboot the device but after i did MY PHONE GOT STUCK INTO BOOT LOOP!

I tried going into recovery mode and download mode but i cant because it keeps rebooting

i tried downloading flashtool and downloaded the firmware and the xperia drivers but the problem is usb debugging is off and i cant enable it because i cant get past the boot screen

i made a huge damn mistake i was happy when it got rooted but now i regret it now

please help i tried searching for 5hrs and nothing i didnt find a solution for it

the only thing i wanted root for is to get the stereo mod and the ability to transfer apps to my sd card..

thanks

love and respect

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pertsavk:
Get the PC Companion and use the rescue. It will download the newest official firmware for your device and force flash it. I bought a half dead, bootlooping, red blinking Z1 for a few euros just for fun. Started the companion, studied it a bit, went on according to the instructions given and now the Z1 is very much alive. Took me a couple of retries, so be patient. You'll lose root and all data but hey, the Z1 will be resurrected.

BTW, the Z1 is a nice surprise. My daily driver is a Z3 running stock lollipop, just some junk disabled. I thought the Z1 would be a lot less capable device but no - it actually feels somehow snappier and overall smoother. Besides, it doesn't feel like a toy in your hand like the Z3 does. The only other phone (still) giving the same feeling of greater rightness to me is the good old stainless steel Nokia 8800. Now, if I could just find those plastic flaps somewhere for a reasonable price...

Hi, I upgraded my T-Mo MDA Mail to WM6 at the weekend and all is fine except for now my phone does not seem to be displaying WAP Push messages.

Did you check to see if you lost your WAP connections settings after the upgrade?

Go to Settings - Connections - GPRS and check. If you lost just create a new on with the correct settings for you mobile operator (you can find it on google or just call for support)
[HTC Excalibur] B4PJS:
A WAP Push message is basically a text message with a URL embedded in it. All my inter settings are set up correctly (I do this sort of thing for a living) I just never actually receive the message :-s They should be delivered into the SMS inbox.

Hi everyone,

Ever since my first Android device one of the first things i did after unboxing was unlock and root :cool:

Now with this device i dont see the necessity of rooting it, because everything i needed root for is adjustable.

The only thing i miss it for are the ads in the apps.

Who is gonna convince me to root it? ;)

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan-H:
If it trips Knox, then it will be up to the repair centre the phone goes to and the carrier, regardless of EU, UK or any other LAW as Knox trip does invalidate warranty. Just because you are lucky enough to get a phone fixed after it's had custom software on does not make it the norm. And if you're refused warranty, good luck challenging it, Europe or not.
