[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] supercakefish:
Techradar was able to compare Snapdragon vs Exynos power consumption, seems like Exynos is slightly more power efficient, at least on WiFi:

"I ran the techradar 90-minute full HD video test on the Galaxy S7, with screen brightness on full and the handset connected to Wi-Fi, with accounts syncing in the background. Starting at 100%, the Exynos 8890-powered S7 dropped just 13% during the video. That left it with 87% in the tank, which is a very impressive result. Meanwhile our US variant, running the Snapdragon 820 chip, lost 16% in the same test.

Both comfortably beat the iPhone 6S (which lost 30%), Sony Xperia Z5 (25%) and HTC One M9 (31%)."

I just went to bestbuy at my location and they have the edge 7 no contract but is locked to verizon, my question now is, could use it in europe since im going back to my country ??
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Xileforce:
I'm not entirely sure on that one. Sorry :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Tectas:
If it's locked to verizon no unless you let it get unlocked, the U.S. models also don't support all bands available/needed in europe afaik.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Xileforce:
I think the hardware should support the proper bands. The same SOC is going into numerous other phones shipping in Europe.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Tectas:
Sure, the question though still is, will there be a modem by Samsung supporting the bands for the snapdragon (not hardware but software).

Honestly, when I bought the GS6, I was so excited. I loved the screen, loved the form factor, and I personally thought it was the best match for me. The ONLY thing I didn't like about the phone is TouchWiz. I don't use most of the features TW provides (save for the fingerprint sensor), so flashing something else isn't an issue to me. The camera hit would be my second biggest heartbreak. However, the camera would likely still be high quality, enough to rival most last-gen phones. I can live with that for AOSP customization.

Of course, a year later and CM is BARELY starting to get off the floor for that phone, and guess what? I loved what was available. Clearly not useable, I still dual-booted that and TW, and when i didn't need the broken features I found myself booting more into the CM side than the TW side. It's nice to be able to swap. And THAT'S what I think the issue is for me. I want to be able to choose what I use, when I use it. I don't HATE TW's features, so when I get sick of CM I boot into TW. Choice. That's what AOSP and Android is supposed to be about, and I think that's why most people prefer Snapdragon and other open source SoCs if given a choice.

tl;dr, YAY Snapdragon, boo naysayers - I'm going to dualboot and just use everything! Take that!

I have the Exynos version, Canada doesn't have the Snap dragon version. I would have prefered that version but looking at reviews on it I seeing the SP is a hair better scoring not far enough to make a big difference between the two.

Regardless, I'm loving it. First galaxy I've owned that works flawlessly, smooth like butter. I've owned the S5 and Note Edge, the note edge was a headache.

Sad news for SnapDragon fans...

So far I remember US/EURO shared the same version of the CPU until the new S7.

Yesterday i was envious of people who were lucky enough to leave in an area were the SnapDragon 820 is available, mine is an Exynos (what a relief)

Now i realized the CPU is not important, it's rather what you can do with it.

So disappointing that Samsung is changing in a bad way over the years, but who care ?

We are the 0.1% who care about this...

The Next year i will be EXTREMELY cautious of reading devs feedback before I buy

Samsung you suck...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Tectas:
Ahm, no, the s series used 2 different SoCs at least since the s3, it just didn't at the s6, because of the heating issue of the snapdragon 810...

That pretty much shows what I thought, the Exynos is a powerhouse and extremely well optimized to the phone. Gives better battery time, better real life performance, less throttling and running more smooth in the UI. Still the SD820 is absolutely not a bad chip, but I would prefer the new Exynos.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] supercakefish:
Android Police tested Snapdragon 820 S7 vs Exynos 8890 S7 and found this:

"So, are the S7 and S7 edge with Snapdragon 820 processors fast? I mean, I guess? Here’s the thing: these phones don’t feel any faster to me in day-to-day usage than a Galaxy S6 on Marshmallow. I mean that with complete sincerity. The only areas I really notice speed improvements are the camera and 3D performance (i.e., gaming). And in some areas, they actually seem slower sometimes.

On the Exynos version, though, I do feel things are faster. Apps load more quickly. Web pages scroll more fluidly. Hell, even the lockscreen feels more responsive. None of this is particularly encouraging for those of us with the Snapdragon 820 version here in the US. That feeling appears to be increasingly corroborated by informal testing.

Is it a bit odd that apart from America, where Qualcomm’s close relationship with US carriers ensures quick approvals of handsets with fewer certification hurdles (read: money), Samsung felt the best chipset for the Galaxy S7 was the Exynos? For a while, I thought it was simply a supply constraint or cost issue with the 820 - enough could not be produced for the whole world. And while that may well be true, why use it at all then? Surely Samsung could manage Exynos capacity for the US if it did so for the rest of the world (except China). Could it be that the 820 was chosen primarily for its ability to reduce the cost of doing business for Samsung in America, as opposed to it being “the best” chipset for the device? Comparing the two really has me wondering at this point, as I already prefer interacting with the Exynos version of the handset versus the noticeably slower 820."

Having read all about this with the SD810 I was at first glad to get the Exynos, then the Benchmarks from the SD820 came in and I became jealous, but now... Heat and battery drain are enemy #1 for small devices that are considered life essential.

Just in case anyone didnt belive the arstechnica article, gsm arena has come to the same conclusion. Exynos has a substantially better battery life.

To quote reddit:

Exynos:

Better general performance

Better Battery life

Better dev support (Root available)

No slowmo camera dropped frames

Better DAC

Snapdragon

Better 3D Gaming performance

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Xileforce:
What RAM score are you achieving? I'm getting like 6k on my snapdragon version. The 820 has higher clocked RAM and a faster memory handler, so it should be at least as fast in RAM. The reason apps launch fasteeis because the exynos uses all 8 cores to do so. There's simply no way the snapdragon can compete, especially while also being clocked lower.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] supercakefish:
Higher than all the Snapdragon 820 benchmarks I've seen online. Scores above 10,000 for RAM;

My understanding is that volte and wifi calling won't work on tmobile with an intl or exynos device? Can anyone confirm this?

---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 PM ----------

Because my thoughts are to get a Canadian w8 model with exynos and unlocked bootloader for use in US on tmobile, but i don't want to lose naive video calling and volte, don't really care about wifi calling personally.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] chenxiaolong:
You will lose wifi calling, video calling, and VoLTE with any model besides T-Mobile's. I've looked into the framework and found that they're still using their own custom IMS code for those features instead of Google's implementation introduced in Marshmallow. So unfortunately, the situation isn't any different from previous Samsung phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rx8Driver:
Could we incorporate TMo's IMS code into Google's implementation?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Jomari29:
lol, post S7 release, people be wanting Snapdragon, only if they knew... Exynos ftw
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] chenxiaolong:
We'd actually want the opposite--to have Samsung use Google's IMS implementation. If they had done that in the Marshmallow builds of TouchWiz, we would be golden as AOSP 6.0 actually supports T-Mobile's VoLTE and Wifi Calling already. Samsung's current IMS implementation is carrier specific.

I'm looking to buy the SM-G935F and hopefully port some of the TMO VoLTE code to the international ROMs. Most of the VoLTE code is already there since some UK carriers have adopted it, but T-Mobile ROMs have some extra code and configuration to allow seamless handoff from Wifi Calling to VoLTE and vice versa.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] spankmatic22:
Do you think the w8 model will work well on at&t ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] chenxiaolong:
I'm not sure. I've never had service with AT&T, so I don't know what bands they use and what carrier features they have (VoLTE, etc.).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rx8Driver:
I have read on the Canadian forums that folks are roaming in the US on AT&T...on the w8 model.

Hah! You know what, this is the only place I've experienced any lag on the Edge (Exynos). It's such a simple game that I suspect it's a very... incredibly badly optimized "game", even though it seems to run better on lower spec'd devices. It's not a hardware issue at all, so don't go swapping your Edge for a HTC Desire or anything freaky.

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OGhoul:
Hello,

I picked up a used unlocked M9 (originally AT&T) for nostalgia, and it's got 5.1 on it. Ideally, I'd like to convert to Dev Ed and possibly throw a ROM on. However, I am unable to get the phone to fastboot.

- Windows 10

- I don't have any USB 2.0 ports, only 3.0

- Phone is 5.1

- No option to disable fastboot in Battery Settings

- USB debug is on and PC is trusted

- Allow OEM Unlock is enabled in Developer Options

I can see the phone via ADB, but fastboot just doesn't. I am in download mode.

Since my Win10 install is fairly fresh, it could be that I don't have the full adb/htc driver/etc package installed. Can someone point me to that?

Any suggestions on getting this thing to cooperate?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iElvis:
By "unlocked" you mean carrier unlocked, not bootloader unlocked?

I'd start with re/installing the drivers. Very often that's the issue. But odd that it shows up in abd but not fastboot.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
Install the android sdk + htc stync (and uninstall htc sync but keep the drivers).
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OGhoul:
Carrier unlocked, yes. I'm on Fi and it did eventually pull a signal. However I stopped short of activating via the Fi app.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nvaduy:
Select DOWNLOAD MODE then type fastboot ...

(because FASTBOOT M9 replaced by DOWNLOAD MODE)
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OGhoul:
Right, however for whatever reason, Fastboot wouldn't detect any devices attached.

I ended up trying out the WinDroid Tool, and it solved all of my issues.

I've got a JVT-Jem-Prod04.

But now it doesn't Boot anymore (idk why). First there's the normal KF screen and Athen another one with a grey bar on the top, Wtf?View attachment 3659595

So I tried a few tools like KFFirstAide, the system.img recovery tool and another one that said it worked even though I hadn't it plugged in xD

But in the better apps it says always that he's waiting for the device.. Always. Nothing happens on the kfhd 8.9...

Twrp is not bootable and Windows says that it can't recognize this device if I turn it on/into the bootloop.

Maybe I've got the drivers set up wrong? Or what could it be?

Thanks in advance.
