Yeah that is what I'm hoping for. The main reason why I'm still non rooted is because I really want to like this phone (size wise it suits me better than note series. Lol force70 would roll his eyes), but as of now, am still undecided. And I dont want to sell the phone that has deep sleep bug to someone that's not interested in root.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
Flash stock and root is gone. No big deal.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
I know. Then the unsuspecting buyer will be stuck with deep sleep bug, and poor bastards never heard of root.

In good conscience I gotta disclose that.

So unless I decide to keep the phone, or I find out deep sleep bug is gone I'm staying away from root.

I'll make a decision soon enough. Right after telus update.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] oxxshadow:
does this deep sleep bug effect non-rooted s7s too? and about the screen sensitivity, I know many people have reported this, but you might have gotten a faulty phone. I can scroll really slowly and it will not register as a tap.

What security patch are you guys on? I have a unlocked S7E from Wind, and using it on Koodo.....and I'm still on the February Security patch? .....is that odd?

edit** never mind....looks like Canada is just slow at their updates...smh
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] theJSN:
I am eagerly waiting the new patch on Telus/Koodo. I don't know if I have especially meaty hands but I can't one hand use the device or take pictures horizontally without the sensitivity getting in the way. Just slightly brushing it with and part of my hand is launching apps and going to split screen. If I hand my phone to anyone to look it, it almost always launches apps or changes the screen. The edge looks amazing, but its just way too sensitive, it almost makes me wish i got the S7 just for usability. I reached out to support and they basically said I was holding it wrong. When I called, they said they didn't hear any reports of sensitivity problems.

We appreciate your time in sharing your concerns. We value your comments as your comments are vital for us to continue improving our products, as well as our business.

We can only advise you to be extra cautious while handling the device and appreciate your understanding.

Here is info on it

I got it as well since there where no other options at the store like Zagg etc

Its pretty good. Here are some pics with my otterbox commuter
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
I don't know what you are talking about. If you reflash the main firmware, root is gone, bugs you speak of that don't even exist on the S7 edge, are gone, it's as if nothing happened. Except for Knox trip.

what are everyone's thoughts on the HTC 10? Is it worth it over the edge as both are same price outright, although I did get $125 off the Edge fro trading in a flip phone lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Canadoc:
Have the clear plex. Install want great. Top corner peeling off.

Going to have top get it re-done next time am near best buy.

Do I have to go to same site or any best buy?

There's a discount that takes off 100
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
Thanked you instead of quoting.

Dude, just a few days ago I asked you if you can test that reflashing to stock firmware after root, does not expose deep sleep bug that has been plaguing note 5. You know the one that we both had or have. Now of you're claiming that you don't know of a issue where on note 5 flashing back to stock gives you permanent deep sleep bug unless you root, I will accuse you of selective reading in note 5 thread that we both participated in.

You were unwilling, which I respect, but stop acting naive. If you did not test it, you do not know if the bug is present on this phone or not.

Right now it is still an unknown entity, as all that root have no reason to go back to stock, and others that have not rooted, probably never will, at least not yet.

If you have tested, than say so.

Thanks.

Yea I heard about that. But I wonder if the HTC 10 is necessarily better than the S7. I know the software is probably better as its closer to stock android, but idk, the edge really is great so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] htc fan89:
Yeah I'm going wait for the reviews but it doesn't have a wow factor that the s7 edge brings

Btw not sure if everyone here knows this but g935f ROMs work fine on the G935W8. Best one I found is not on XDA. Echoe rom http://www.echoerom.com/thread/1649...ew-s7-s7e-echoe-rom-v5-aroma/?action=firstNew

You have to register to view but its by far the most advanced custom rom out there currently for this device

---------- Post added at 08:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ----------

Also considering it has a smaller screen, smaller battery isn't great. Also I prefer super amoled vs LCD and they should have kept the front facing speakers

That's one thing samsung needs to do.

---------- Post added at 08:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 PM ----------

On a side note you may like this. The AEGIS PRO CASE is coming out soon and looks pretty good. Without a glass screen protector this may offer a bit more protection vs the otterbox commuter due to the front piece. Also if you buy the AEGIS case you get a free wireless charging pad

You have to order the case and add the other item and then apply the promo code AEGISGS7. Pre ordered the case and got the 50$ charging pad for free

Their cases are up there with Otterbox in my view and from my experience

Shipping is free to canada and us. Prices are in USD
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
Ok. Now not sure if you're doing this on purpose, but I'm not gonna get into it with you.

But just so you know, every note 5 in the world has a deep sleep bug, once they root and trip Knox. It is irreversible, and permanent. This includes your note 5.

The workaround is to root (has deep sleep fix integrated).

Now, hard to believe you're that special, that your phone does not have that particular bug.

It might not affect you since you always run rooted (see above), but that does not mean it will not affect person that inherits your phone and chooses not to root.

Almost put sarcastic remark in there, but I'll end just like you said.

Whatever. No need for this subject to go on further.

I went to a different Best Buy in the GTA, no issues. I did show my receipt. I recall another person said they didn't require it, but better safe than sorry. I think it's worth taking a picture of it and storing it online.

To add, "self-healing technology" is probably the weakest feature for me. You add a little dent or groove into the protector, it will not self heal. ex/ adding a little mark with your fingernail, it's not going away.

I have a g935f. I had touch issues on PB6 especially when im lying on my side and the palm of my hand touches the side of the screen and it goes crazy. Now i received the PD1, and the phone pretty much acts, i can reach apps on the other side of the screen with my palm on the screen and it doesnt trigger any unwanted taps or slides :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Canadoc:
So returned the clear plex screen protector. Went to best buy for the replacement to be installed.

I walk out side only to see to scratches the length of the screen and a small Fibre under the protector. I go in and show them. He goes in back with my phone comes back few minutes later and says got out the fiber.

I say what r about the scratches. He says you can't see them worth the screen on so he won't replace it.

It clearly happened during the install. Likely from the squeegee.

Never installing that crap again.

Angie have experience with Kristall liquid screen protector?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Zer0_:
Sorry you had a bad experience. I on the other hand, love the protector!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Canadoc:
It clearly scratches easily. The edges are as sharp as a razor so using it without a casev is hard for the edge features.

There is some orange peel effect too.

Was disappointed.

If anyone has other recommend for a screen protector let new know.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] slightlyevil:
I found a screen protector which I've applied to both my S7 Edge and my Wife's S7 Edge. It's called the Pure Gear Extreme Impact, and is the simplest installation procedure (dry process, not wet) I've seen. Pretty much fool Proof.

ah, just found out that as a first time poster I cannot post URLs, but if you google pure-gear you should find it pretty readily.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Canadoc:
How much? What site? Dis it scratch easily? Issues with cases?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] slightlyevil:
As previously stated, I cannot post URLS. Pricing will probably vary depending on where you buy it from. If you go to Google and type in pure-gear it will bring the website up in the results. From there, press shop the samsung then s7 edge. On the list that follows pick extreme impact screen protector. The site price is $25 but I assume that is USD.

I feel like I saw that one weeks ago on my S7E with Wind too and hoped it was the oversensitivity fix. I could tell it wasn't. Wind is a mixed bag for updates. Sometimes one of the first and sometimes one of the last.

Small fyi for this group. Buddy of mine just picked up the silver s7e after seeing mine (took him about 5 business days after leaving a deposit). Bought it out right like me from the Sammy store. While I preordered mine and got the VR and 128gb card, he got a $125 that was used against the price of the phone, along with the 128gb card. Don't know of about you, but I'd take the $125 over the VR.

I am on videotron. No update via Ota yet.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jark99:
So the general consensus is get PD3 through Smart Switch? And that'll make the Canadian s7e up to date to the most recent revisions? Or do I need to go 1 step further and do something in Odin? (Reflash a international rom)
