How can I get root?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benjg_:
well i wanted to do the same as you. after unlocking the bootloader i wanted to root the phone but used a tut for an older version of android. I got in a bootloop and i fixed it by flashing original .img files on the device. Then i was running on 5.0 lollipop. So if you really really want that root acces, i would say downgrade your android version after unlocking the bootloader and then flash the files from motorola. Then follow a tutorial for android 5.0 for XT1092
[Huawei Ascend P7] HowlingSoul:
First I installed an official kitkat firmware of P-L10 in my P-L12 (that also came in with kitkat) following a tutorial, everything worked perfectly. Then I updated my phone, now is (pL10) B839 emui 3.1 and lollipop 5.1.1, and a few weeks ago I unlocked the bootloader, installed a custom recovery and flashed the root. My question is, if I downgrade the firmware (unrooting my phone) to the one my phone came in, will I recover the warranty in case I'm obligated to send the phone to repair?

If doing that wont give me my warranty back, is there a procedure that will?

Thank you.
[Huawei Ascend P7] zaabolla:
when downgrading to your initial kitkat rom, the phone lost root by itself, no need to unroot, and i think yes, you will recover the warranty.

be sure in system settings/about phone, you have L12 and not L10, cause you have an L12 at first

Okay, I'll partake. I received the T Mobile S7 edge this morning at work.

The S7e is fast as hell. I've been setting it up and playing with it for the last 3 hours. Things that would lag on the S6 no longer lag. For example, downloading a theme from the Samsung theme store and then installing it is super fast. Or going into settings> applications> default applications...that used to lag out with the S6, but with the S7 it is instant. I even forgot to change my animation speeds in developer settings to 0.5 because I just don't have to. The finger print scanner is freakin' bananas, much faster than the S6, and it seems quite accurate as well.

For anyone on T Mobile that had an S6 and suffered from CELL STANDBY DRAIN when WiFi calling and/or VOLTE were on...so far, both are on and I have had no significant cell standby drain. The phone has been on for 9 hours, SOT is at 3 hours, battery is at 45%, cell standby is only accounting for 3% of battery use:good:. Android system is at 35%, but I think that's related to this being the device's very first battery cycle. Keep in mind that the phone has been restoring all my apps and data from Google and was trapped in an office with bad coverage and weak WiFi for most of the day. I really think Qualcomm's 820 SOC is better at the signal/reception thing when compared to the Exynos. Yes, I prefer Snapdragon for 2016. Thank you Samsung for sharing that FinFet-thingy-process.

TW on Marshmallow is the best version yet, I think, mostly because of the speed, but animations are also pleasant. I guess I'll never see 6.0.1 on my S6, which is going back to T Mo for the JUMP trade-in credit.:eek:

I haven't tested the camera besides checking the focus speed, which is very impressive.

Build quality seems good. Not a huge fan of the curved edges, just don't see much of a purpose there except to complicate screen protection. But they didn't make the flat S7 with a 5.5" screen and a 3600mAh battery, so I had to get the edge, I'll learn to love it.

That's enough for now.

please keep us updated on the battery life
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] brouwerchris:
I played with it for half an hour in a TMobile shop in Holland and feel very tempted to buy this fast monster, could anybody from the USA perform a n Antutu benchmark and post the results so we can compare the Snapdragon 820 to the Exynos version ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] skivnit:
The benchmarks were already posted in a benchmark thread on the s7 forums.

About the exynos modem thats the only thing that worries me. As on the s6 cell standby is horrific andbthe ssp wake locks are killing the battery

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Dr. Fed:
I let the phone trickle down to 13% battery this morning before I recharged it. SOT was 5 hours (4hrs 59 minutes). Not bad. I was getting 2.5 with the S6.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] PlatinumNick:
um i was expecting a little bit more but i guess it will get better with time
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] wawaweewa:
This was mine from last last night (i work 11pm-7am) i slept around 7-8am woke up at 2-3pm trying to drain it to the end so i can finally charge it. Always on display is activated and i am definitely amazed with battery life on this
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Hoggles:
I've had my S7 Edge since the 29th. T-Mobile of course.

I'm coming from an S4, so this was a huge upgrade in every way. Camera is amazing, in pretty much every regard. I slapped Nova 3.3 on it (for the black app drawer) and it runs lightning fast. I was happy to see that the edge apps work with Nova.

Complaint time.... I'm definitely not sold on the edges of the display though. By far my biggest gripe. I was a little disappointed that my S4 actually has as much usable screen width than the S7E. The curved edges for me, just get in the way. They distort text and images close to the edge. My finger has a tendency to sort of slip off the side of the screen when doing anything close to the edge. Kind of annoying. Many websites, even in mobile form, don't fit the edge screen properly. The right or left side is sometimes curved around the edge. Not good. Also, the edges make it slightly difficult to simply pick the phone up. Silly as that seems. The sides are a little too thin I think. Not really sure what purpose it serves at all. Takes away screen space.

I'm on T-Mobile's Jump On Demand, so I'll probably get the Note 6 this fall. I would have LOVED this to be a flat screened 5.5" display. That would have been perfect. Don't think I'll ever get another an edge screen.

I imagine I'll get used to it as time goes by, but I'm already looking forward to August or September.

Cheers!

I wish I read your post earlier. I had actually pre-ordered the S7 last week. After looking at the S7E at Best Buy today I canceled the S7 and ordered the Edge. Now I'm thinking maybe I should've just stayed with the S7. I read somewhere that the Edge is out selling the S7 3 to 1. I also had a S4 and have a S6 now. I only had the S6 for about 5 months but I cannot deal with it's poor battery life any more. My S4 had a much better battery. I had it for over 2 years and never replaced the original battery and never needed to carry a spare. How does the battery on your S7E compare to your S4? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] itsxiao:
Battery life is superb vs my Note 4.

Currently 14hours 40min on battery, SOT of 4 hours. Sitting at 20 percent with another estimated 2h40m remaining. Unplugged at 9am, almost 12am now. So easily a full day's use of work.

The phone feels amazing in hand but I warn you that it is slippery if you have no moisture on your hands. The curve of the phone does little with grip when there's just no friction on glass front and back. Camera auto focus is as impressive as they say. Bloatware hasn't been too bad, some can't be removed like the T-mobile stuff, so I just disabled them. Touchwiz I can't comment on because I swap to Nova as soon as I get most phones now.

Some things I noticed:

1. The recent apps button only lets you close apps now, no more shortcut to the ram usage

2. Data button no longer in notification drawer, can't add it either

3. Volume increase is not linear, it's actually exponential. I only seem to use the last 3 or 4 notches on media volume while the first 3/4 of volume media is useless

4. Edge panel is a hit or miss. It's basically the same as what Pie control does.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Hoggles:
I've had my S4 since May of '13. Great phone. Original battery as well. It was definitely starting to degrade though. Battery life in the S7 edge is fantastic. Over 5 hours of screen on time regularly. And that of course is pushing it pretty hard, testing it out in the first week and all.

This time around, my main focus was a larger display and battery. That's why I went with the edge. A little bummed with the edges in real life as I mentioned. It pains me to say this about a gorgeous device like this, but I honestly feel it's a hindrance to the experience.

Not in any way trying to bum you out before you get yours. You do have a buyer's remorse period, of course, if it doesn't suit you. I'll hold out till the Note 6, in part because of the VR, Netflix bundle....and I have to wait at least 4 months to do a Jump upgrade. I have no doubt that I'll love the time spent with my Edge.... Just not my cup o tea :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Eddie Hicks:
Thanks for the reply. The larger battery is my main focus also. I also thought that the Edge would be bigger than it is. I was thinking is was more like the Note 5. I really don't want a Phablet. But after holding the Edge it's really a good size and doesn't appear to be much bigger than the S7 or my S6. If it don't work out I have 14 days to return it. I'll just have to pay the $35 restocking fee and get the S7 or maybe even something else.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] robertc88:
Got mine from BB this morning, AT&T variant gold Edge and it is a beauty.

Setting it up and updating all the apps ran smoothly. Fingerprint scanner is great, the display is great, audio sounds fantastic vis headphones and I'm not sure what DAC is it this but it doesn't matter I guess, the size is great (I admit it is slippery BUT hello Apple, are you listening regarding the size), no lag so far but I'm not finished going through my entire analysis routine yet.

Could this be the android device we've all been waiting and hoping for? That remains to be seen but WOW!!

This thing is da bomb so far! Run, don't walk. You can return it but me thinks not! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] inzimam:
I have to agree about the edge. Coming from an LG G3 with the same 5.5 inch screen, the Edge feels small. The curved part of the screen is useless, complicates buying of cases and screen protection.

It's pretty to look at though! So I think I'll stick with it for a year and see how I get on. I'm just worried I'll drop the phone and crack the screen with the smaller drop while my LG has flower across the room in its case and its still perfect

Hey here is a little tip that I just realized coming from the note 4. Is it me or does every single widget now work on 3rd party launchers? My apologies if the s6 or n5 where the same way but on the n4 most Samsung widgets only worked on the TouchWiz launchers.

This is why it initially took me a bit to switch from default so I can get the "intended experience" before modding everything until I realized just about everything works with any launcher (I'm using nova).

You should ask this in the S7 Edge Help section rather than taking this thread off-topic.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] pwrmedia:
Received mine yesterday (3/8, T-Mo), and coming from a Note 5...

24 hours in, and my response is one of indifference. Let me preface that response by saying that, unlike many others, I didn't order this phone having a particular set of standards the s7 edge needed to attain. Having been a Nexus-head, it took me until the Note 5 to even begin to warm back up to Samsung phones in general, so w/ that being said...

Pros:

-Design. I was comfortable w/ the size of the Note 5, and have no qualms about the fit of the s7 edge in my hand. It definitely feels like a true "candy bar" style of phone. I feel confident enough in the grip that, as w/ my other phones, will likely leave this one naked as well w/ no worries.

-Battery life. Yes, I'm fully aware I'm only 24 hours in, but there is a noticeable difference in how power usage is allocated w/ the s7 edge. The only "saving" feature I've initiated is the app optimization option for approx 85% of my installed apps, while leaving everything else to run as intended. I'll refrain from using Greenify or any other optimization app for now, as I've made the choice to not root this phone unless can see that the benefits of doing so outweigh the costs of losing Samsung/Android Pay or find that there's a feature of root that is a must-have on the s7.

-Apps Edge. Having played w/ that feature on custom ROMs on the Note 5 that had it baked in, I can now say that I can see it growing on me w/ this phone and replacing LMT. I'm only using 4 feeds (weather, calendar, shortcuts and apps) and that's enough functionality to allow me to utilize more screen real estate. W/ Nova Prime,(immersive mode, dock hidden, double tap gesture to open app drawer), the Apps Edge screen compliments my daily needs perfectly w/ no clutter.

Cons:

-RAM usage. Samsung still hasn't gotten it right. They've gotten it BETTER, but still abnormally high usage. It's too early to tell how this'll impact lag down the road, but hopefully it's no worse than on the Note 5 (which for all intents and purposes, had minimal lag when running basic applications and functions, stock and rooted).

-Inconsistent screen sensitivity. I'd imagine or hope this will tackled in a future update, as it appears others have mentioned this quirk as well.

-Edge feed when screen off. It's been a challenge trying to find the "sweet spot" to activate it. Not necessarily a deal breaker for me, but could become problematic for others if coming from a previous Edge handset.

-"WOW" factor. For as nice as the phone is, there isn't really anything that particularly stands out about it coming from the Note 5. That's not a knock on the s7 edge by any means, I'm just stating my opinion that coming from another flagship device that isn't quite a year old to this one isn't a giant leap forward. The only reason I didn't hold out for the next Note is because I had a J.O.D. to burn.

Conclusion: Good phone overall. Those coming from any device older than a year should be thoroughly impressed; those coming from high-end devices less than a year old may likely echo my sentiments.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] lawtq:
Could not agree more! 100% agree. I've got the nexus 6p and this may ain't good enough to keep. There's no point of there's no wow factor, I only feel like... Meh, yeah its nice.

Gear VR is also nice, but I'm not blown away. I wonder if you return the phone, you have to return the vr too? Lol. It was a free gift
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] manook:
Mine has been sent back as it just cant compete with my Mate 8.

Pros:

Good Gpu

Gear VR was amazing. Having used both the vive and oculus rift (both on preorder too) I was genuinely impressed with the results from a phone. Only annoyance was having to remove the phone case each time to use it.

Camera was excellent.

Cons:

Edge display is bad. Due to curve there is a constant blue hue at either side which was very annoying. Also coming from a 6" device the 5.5" felt tiny.

Battery life was less than impressive. I would have expected alot more from the 3600mah battery but it drained so quick just in general browsing.

General laggy feel but this is due to TW no doubt.

Purchased direct from samsung uk and thankfully they included the return labels in the delivery box which made it alot easier to return.

I was disappointed after having S4,S5,Note4, S6, 6P. There was just nothing to keep me with the phone in the end. If I hadnt had owned the mate 8 I would probably have been impressed but Huawei seemed to have nailed it at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] johanbiff:
the Mate 8s battery is really sick! may I ask what version you had? exynos or Sd820? there seem to be some performace diffrences between them regarding battery and overall lag and RAM management from what iv seen and moste that have this issues are the SD820 phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] manook:
I had the exynos with the Samsung camera. Not knocking the phone as it'll be great for other users, just not for me.

First couple of hours with the s7 edge

Got the phone today and boy do I love this thing!

Here are some notes of the first few hours with this phone.

Model:G935F

Browser: this is seriously faster then my browser on my desktop!( no joke)

Have the addblock fast app integrated and my God it is fast!

Camera: only took one pic so can't really tell yet but the focus is instant!

Performance: this is one fast phone! The apps install quickly and you you can actually use the phone will it's installing without any hiccups. The RAM is good, keeping atleast 15+ medium heavy apps open.

Design: it doesn't feel any bigger than my x S6, Samsung really nails the screen to ratio on this one! It's quite slippery and do get allot of FP on it but overall a gorgeous phone!

Battery: got it with 50% left I'm down to 27% ATM. Can't really tell yet but by all the tasks I did from start my old S6 would have lost nearly 50% after setup and this did it on 17% so I'm more then happy from what I've seen so far.

SW: I actually got a force restart when trying to bring Netflix in to the edge tasker but worked after the restart, seems like the SW need a tune up and hopping for a day 1 OTA. Otherwise it's really fluid and without any serious frame drops. Really like the AOS and the edge feat.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] gpap2004:
Touchwiz is very smooth. The overall impressions of the phone are very very good. Ram management seems to be better than s6. Battery is OK and not draining fast. I can take all day without leaving my phone from my hand. Reception is good as all Samsung phones but not very strong in areas that my x-iphone has better reception. No drop calling. I like the no lag situation of my phone.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] madgalaxy:
Hardware is great and top notch. Built well and feels good in hand. Battery life has been superb and screen is great!

Now software is another story. I am getting lots of lag! Lock screen, Google Messenger, Play store and several games I play. My Note 5 runs better than the S7 Edge in all aspects. I really dont like the automatic oversaturation when you start a game.

Oh and the bloat (but I knew what I was getting into buying a carrier version)! Gonna give it a few more days and may factory reset tonight to see if that fixes it. It will be returned next week if I am still not satisfied.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] furfmonkey:
I am giving my S7 Edge to my wife and waiting for the Note 6

I really wanted to love this device... otherwise i wouldn't have paid off my note 4's $200 and then preordered a S7 lol.. Anyways, i just couldn't get used to holding the phone completely different than my note 4 .i was constantly hitting edge stuff or activating pages while browsing or using facebook.... I guess i just have big clumsy hands.. I also didn't think i was going to miss the .25 of screen real estate but i really do .. maybe its the screens more 4:3 design on the note 4 vs a more 16:9 looking (tall slender) style even when i played with the 4x5 and 5x5 grid settings i couldn't get comfy with the phone..

maybe its just me.. Don't get me wrong its an AMAZING device.. awesome camera super fast no lag etc.. i guess i just don't savy the edge screen and prefer a flat one

I've noticed this too. I was beginning to think I had a defective phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Sychodrama:
Why am I not happy worth my gs7 edge?

I was a happy nexus 5 user. I'm one of those guys that gets his phone from the provider tho. Not buy it straight up from Google. Or I probably would've already had a nexus 6p. But I can't get that from my provider so I "upgraded" from my Nexus 5 to a gs7 edge. I've never had to worry because I could always root and flash my fav rom with whatever war the best hardware at the time. Honestly. I'm not happy with this phone at all. I carry my Nexus with me still because this Samsung does not feel right, and I need to feel secure. Even with Google now launcher this thing lags and is just not as smooth as a nexus 5. This is pathetic... with all this great hardware they couldnt make this phone go through Web pages like butter?. Please someone root this and make it nice.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] quadlt:
Sigh... Another one of these threads. First of all, assuming you're from USA with a locked bootloader, you should have put research into this bootloader fact and understood that there will be no day 1 root, or any at all. Don't whine here now like it was someone else's fault. Second thing, Nexus phones were purposely made for rooting, roming, modding and so on. Naturally, you won't get the same freedom from a brand which was never prioritizing any of the mentioned things. Talking about lag, I once again have to disagree. Maybe it's because I'm running Exynos, or because you might have a defective unit, I can safely say this thing just flies in regards of performance. Haven't noticed any major hiccups or failures so far, so once again, weak argument. Just return the phone if you're not happy with it, there are millions of us loving this phone every day more and your stated problems are really just your own personal problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kittiyut:
I totally agree with "quadlt" - this is a personal problem.

I was drawn to this thread hoping to find out some physical problems, hardware defect, etc. etc. but instead just another rant because "due diligence" wasn't done before buying.

Double Sigh.
