I'm with ya hkklife. I was so keen on the upcoming LG G5 with its metal body and replaceable battery and SD card. But then I saw they went to from a 5.5in screen to a 5.3in screen. Now I need to rethink things.

Maybe when it does hit stores and I hold it in my hands, I'll feel different but going backwards in screen size is not something I want to do either.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beefheart:
I've heard that Samsung have decided against this fantastic feature out the box, something that annoys me somewhat. They probably don't trust people will know what it is and will ruin their phones as a result or perhaps they're scared people will run a class 4 card and reduce the system to a crawl. Either way, it should be an option if you ask me, even if it doesn't happen by default and you have to go out of your way to enable. I'd like to encrypt my S7 Edge, but have a decent amount of storage at the same time. The idea of having my phone encrypted but someone simply being able to remove the SD card and view it's contents isn't appealing at all.

I'm wondering if Samsung don't end up offering it in a future update, if it's something that can be baked into a custom stock build. Root would be required of course, but that's something I intend to perform as soon as it becomes available, I don't care about the Knox flag. I'm in the UK for a start so Samsung Pay means jack to me. And I've only every had a single repair performed by Samsung, and they did it free of charge despite the knox flag being tripped.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] squallz506:
If you're lucky, then it'll end up in the new labs features. I think Samsung should've made it a developer setting out of the box but oh well. I prefer portable storage anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mcwoods:
Completely agree!

That was one thing I was counting on! I mean come on they want us to be able to transfer data more effectively... They have created apps that allow us to do that via phone to phone through Samsung or with 3rd party apps.

Let us do what we want with our phone! I was banking on this feature. If they are afraid people with crappy microSD cards will complain about speeds make it a user agreement before formatting the card that they must accept.

Warning formatting this card and allowing adoptable storage may slow down the device and Samsung is not held liable. Agree and format or Cancel..... Problem solved.

The other thing that really killed me is no IR blaster... I found out after I preoreded. I just figured it would be there... I use that every day.... So now I am going to have to carry around my Samsung Note 10.1 2014 edition.... That I was going to give to my wife once I got the bigger phone.... LOL
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cbutters:
I've found the next best thing... Have you looked into Harmony Hub? It is a little wifi device with an IR blaster that integrates into your TV environment. It works great for me, and I can use it no matter which phone I pick in the future since it is just an app at that point and doesn't need any special hardware other than wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mcwoods:
Does it run any app?

I LOVE anymote! I use it on all my tvs. I have macros set up for each tv to turn on tv, sat box, blu ray, ps4, audio amp.... or whatever I want to use or turn off with push of buttons.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cbutters:
No, you need to use the Harmony Remote App to control the TV with Harmony Hub. Its pretty robust and compatibility is top notch, it even will control Philips Hue lighting as well, but you definitely will be limited to just the Harmony app on your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mcwoods:
OK. Thanks for info..

Does it have macro capability? That is huge for me. I mean Anymote is so robust and is constantly adding things to it. I hate to give it up. I really wish Samsung wouldn't have screwed up and would have spent the $2.00 it would have taken to put the ir blaster on it. I have seen a kickstarter add on which adds an IR to any phone but it looks pretty hideous in my opinion and you can't have a case with it from the way it looks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cbutters:
If by macro you mean something like.... press one button to A) turn on television B) turn on DVD Player C) change to input 3

yes it does things like that.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] umbrokhan:
can you root your phone and use Link2SD app?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] razorseal:
I'm torn on it... what I don't understand is, why didn't they leave it to the user? could warn with a pop up pointing out the intended use and risk of data loss upon removal.

I actually don't know if it's something I'd use. I like to use my SD cards for data storage for things like pictures etc. now when my S7 comes in, i'll pop out my sd from my Note edge and put it in this one. there goes most of stuff moved over. you can't do this with the adoptable storage. I'd have to put all the pics onto my laptop, and move them back.

and yes... very sad with the IR blaster. not something I use often, but I love it when I do. it's sad to see it go. I liked using Peel because of the interactive tv guide which shows me what's playing, and I can just tune to that movie.

why remove such a small feature but so unique to this phone!? :( I guess we'll hopefully see it in S8
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Bjray:
I actually wouldn't be surprised if Samsung did this on purpose to see how many, if any would cry and be upset by removal of the IR Blaster. And develop the S8 according to the results.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] m3@twad:
yes, i have that. Love it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Zethmir:
You can encrypt the SD card so it will only work on the S7 (atleast I could on my S7 Edge). I hate the way the SD is used right now and I am with you on enabling Adoptable Storage in a dev option or lab setting somewhere.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] timeToy:
You have to understand the MASSIVE performance penalty you get by writing on the SD card (SD card is maybe x10 slower than the internal storage). If you enable the adopted storage feature on the 2015 Moto X pure for instance, it will have unintended consequences, like inability to record video at 1080p, or a lot of UI lags and stutters and overall sh1t UI experience.

I personally do not think this is a smart feature, I do use my internal storage and SD card differently, I need to know where I am writing to.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] flarbear:
That depends on the SD card. The only source I saw quoting that 10x performance penalty in connection with adoptable storage was referring to Class 2 or 4 cards which guarantee a minimum of 2MB/s or 4MB/s. Also, those classes refer to the minimum guaranteed write speed. Most cards write much faster in general, but they must be able to guarantee a minimum write speed sustained under all conditions and so their class speed is a conservative figure and isn't necessarily descriptive of their average performance.

The internal storage on the S7 Edge is around 280MB/s read and 99MB/s write. Many UHS-I cards are rated for 95/90MB/s(r/w) which is close on the writes, but still lags a bit on the reads. In my benchmarks I have a UHS-I U3 card rated at 95/90(r/w) that benches at 90/80(r/w) in a computer, but only 60/40(r/w) in the S7 Edge micro SD slot, so the SD slot may be the limiting factor here and the ratio might be more like 2.5x performance difference on writes. A few forum members have some UHS-II cards on order to test when they get the phones, but many sources are saying that the phones only support UHS-I which means the maximum performance on either reading or writing will be less than 100MB/s - possibly on par with the internal memory for writing, but still close to 3x slower on reads.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] timeToy:
You own numbers show a x7 factor slower for the SD card.

When I test my Note 5 internal memory (still not have my S7 Edge yet) I have 340MB/s read and 150MB/s write. (8.5x factor)

I stand by my assessment, that even with the fastest micro SD card you can buy, there is MASSIVE speed difference between the 2 different storage type, creating some UI issues when the OS finds itself writing your launcher cache on the SD card...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] flarbear:
Oh, I agree that there is a big jump in performance with the internal storage of these phones, but you don't need to fabricate numbers to prove this (or write in ALL CAPS).

Which numbers show a 7x factor? Or even an 8.5x factor? Are you comparing read speeds to write speeds?

280 vs 60 is less than 5x for read.

99 vs 40 is around 2.5x for writes.

340 vs 60 is under 6x.

150 vs 40 is under 4x.

Where is the 7x? Or the 8.5x?

Granted, 2.5x for writes and 5x for reads on my S7 are still a big step, but you don't need to bias the argument by looking for the biggest number in a page of orange numbers and comparing it to the smallest number in a page of apple numbers.

Also, which benchmark are you using? It's starting to look like the A1 SD benchmark is hitting RAM cache that biases the results (and it even warns about this when you run the benchmark.)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] flarbear:
Switching to Androbench gets new numbers that are a bit closer to what is being reported for the Note 5:

Using 64MB test files:

S7 Edge internal: 426/128 sequential read/write

Samsung Pro+ microSD: 80/66 seq r/w

Bumping it to 512MB test files to make sure the measurements aren't dominated by RAM caches:

S7 Edge internal: 427/153 seq r/w

Samsung Pro+ microSD: 80/70 seq r/w

Compare that to 92/83 for the Pro+ on a laptop SD card reader.

So we sit around a little over 5x slower on reads and around 2x slower on writes for these UHS-I U3 cards spec'd at 95/90 read/write.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] PDXMatt:
Before you come down hard on Samsung let me post to you what Android Police has to say on the issue.

"Google discourages using adoptable storage if:

Your SD card slot is in an area where it may be regularly ejected (i.e., the SIM slot) and/or your phone has "sufficient" internal storage already, which is probably these days 32GB or more. Adoptable storage is apparently intended as a feature for phones with very limited internal storage and for stationary, IoT types of devices.

LG has done the same, and does not have adoptable storage on the G5."

Greetings fellow members,

I'm plagued by an air bubble on the bottom left corner of my screen and I'm unsure on whether it is under the screen protector or under the screen itself. I am unsure as a (tempered glass) screen protector was immediately placed on the screen after the plastic packaging has been taken off.

I would like to ask for the opinions of everyone. I have attached a pic of the air bubble at the bottom left corner.

Thanks!
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aytex:
I also used a tempered glass and there we're huge air pockets, i slept it off and the next day it was gone

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1c3_5n0w:
Hi, thanks for your reply. My air pockets were not huge per se. I slept it off, it has been a night and it's still there the next morning. I tried using a squegee as well as a microfibre cloth to get that air bubble or whatever it is out but to no avail. Will be replacing my screen protector today. If it still remains, I guess I would go for a warranty claim.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krasCGQ:
Hi,

Is it occur after applying screen protector? If yes, you could remove the screen protector and clean the screen protector with plastic tape. I'm doing this trick when I found that after applying it on my phone screen.

UPDATE: I have changed my screen protector and stall vendors, no matter how hard they tried to remove the air bubble, could not. I am really disappointed and it is my first encounter with a phone with an air bubble between the glass and LCD. I will do my best to get customer support from Asus and am praying that everything will go well. I will update my thread in case anyone encountered the same issue and is looking for support as well.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inelukis:
Hi all,

I'm actually using Arter's Back-to-Note with Arter kernel.

The device is an Italian WIND branded one over I flashed first the ITV firmware to get rid of bloatware, then the H3G one for better compatibility with my carrier network and in the end some custom roms.

Now, I'd like to update to Marshmallow but I don't know which version to flash through Odin.

At the moment, I'm thinking about the Italian Vodafone one, the French unbranded one or the Cyprus one.

The main doubts are:

- If I need a particular PIT file to flash these firmware;

-Which is the best firmware to flash?;

-Is possible to downgrade to Lollipop then?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex3105_:
Hi, i'm Italian also, and i have your same phone branded Wind.

- i don't think you need a particular PIT file, because if it was necessarily, Odin had to ask for it when you passed from the branded rom to the ITV one. (i did the same, without the PIT file, and everything went fine).

- if you flash the french one, the SpO2 measuration in SHealth will doesn't work, if you don't use it, you can flash this one or the Vodafone one (i chose these ones because are the most nearly cities)

- i had read that you can downgrade, but i am not sure, i haven't tried it yet. i'm updating to Marshmallow, only because i've tried all but my signal doesn't work, i don't really like the Marshmallow TouchWiz, if the signal it's not gonna start working, i will downgrade

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avignon:
I acquired my Nvidia Shield TV about 6 weeks ago.

All was fine - I paired a bluetooth keyboard and a bluetooth mouse to it with no issues.

Then sometime in the last week I lost mouse functionality.

The mouse pairs & connects: it behaves as it should in the "settings" section - pointer points, highlights, right & left buttons function properly.

However when I go to Kodi, the moving cursor is present but there is no button click functionality.

This is new - the only event I can think of is a forced auto update that occurred in the last week.

It's very annoying, since I often use a mouse on this device, right-clicking to bring up context menus, etc.

I tested function with the following mice - all behave exactly the same way:

Microsoft 5000 bluetooth mouse

Logitech ultrathin bluetooth

Logitech USB receiver mouse

Wired Microsoft USB mouse.
