Rooting is fine for screen repair or physical damage. I'd your phone is rooted and you want it fixed software wise they will not help you.

I rooted anyways. Piece of cake

Just Google how to root G935F. Anything that version is exactly the same as ours G935W8 except for flashing firmware on Odin.

When the file has been decrypted, I assume extract the files from the ZIP and use the AP to load onto the phone via ODIN?

Edit: nevermind, found the info, use Odin 3.10.7 and insert all 4 files then go from there!

What? Why? Just disable the apps. There is barely any bloat ware in Canada to begin with. I am rooted and I just remove them or freeze them.

Just called the Samsung Experience Store and was told that the Galaxy S7 Edge (Black) will not be available till early April due to a Shortage...

I'm actually pissed off!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
I guess phone providers get priority. Samsung also underestimated the demand for the s7/edge.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Zer0_:
But really.. the set back is a month extra? Why do preorders when you dont even get it in time.

I preordered the first week too

Same here , waiting on my koodo order to ship. It sucks that people who ordered this Monday are already receiving shipping notification. I'm so impatient. I'm going go tomorrow and get one from the store. But, I still can't use it until my dam screen protector arrives. I might as well wait...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Zer0_:
I expedited my screen protector shipment so I could get it before the phone comes in. Cost extra money, but it would have been well worth it.

Just sucks that now the phone has been delayed 2-3 weeks for me, so it was kind of a waste of money to have it expedited :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sc2ascend:
You're not alone, we're in almost the same boat. I pre-ordered a little late from the Samsung Experience store at Sherway Gardens and didn't get a concrete date, just 'up to two weeks after March 28' for my silver S7E. So could be March 29 or midway through April. I'll be here waiting with you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Zer0_:
I think I might just end up buying it off someone on Kijiji. We'll see...

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] lailainoob:
I'm really pissed at how Samsung handled this, they're like oh let's give the information out through a small channel and let it trickle down!

If I hadn't checked that one post on Reddit saying that the Samsung S7 Edge Silver and Gold were getting delayed till the first week of April and confirming with the store, I would've spent $30 travelling down to the Samsung Experience Store and getting nothing in return, absolutely furious at how they never bothered to contact the customer first.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] capvtmundi:
Got my tracking number and it's next day shipping ....getting it on Friday .... very excited
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sc2ascend:
Yeah, it's quite sad. I just want my new phone, my current one isn't doing so well. But Canada usually gets shafted so this is par for the course.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
No.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
Lol now you're just showing off. ? You do know very well that it does not come with stock rom, with any Canadian carrier. To top it off, settings database is not accessible anymore, so we can not easily edit it, even with root. Just skim reading through csc files, points to this particular setting being in system ui package now. Don't have time to mess with it further. Not even to try editing default setting, that is mentioned in others xml, which would possibly be loaded after firmware reset, or changing csc (with pre-edited files). Can't be bothered to setup again and my tibu backups are a mess right now.

So if someone must have custom quick toggles, custom rom is the way to go, cause nobody has shared how to achieve it without one.

Not sure if everyone is aware...

If you bought your s7 or s7 edge in the last 2 weeks (so you are still within the return window), you can get free $100 in accessories from the Sherway samsung store as well as a Kate Spade case from Samsung for free...

In essence, with all the deals, you should have:

128 GB microSD

$125 ANY phone trade-in credit

$100 in accessories

Kate Spade case

If this has been posted before, I apologize. I just got this myself so wanted to share.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] brar.arsh:
Were you without case?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] oxxshadow:
where did you fix it? I heard people with Note 5 screens that broke walked into a Samsung Repair Centre in Mississauga and got it replaced for free. I remember reading about it on reddit and on RedFlag Forums.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
I have had 2 phone screens replaced for free, while rooted, note 3 and 4. Not this time, in fact I brought the phone into the place in mississauga ahd paid $300 for the screen replacement, when I got the phone back I got warnings that the phone was overheating and that it could not be charged at all. I brought it back and they said the mainboard had to be replaced and that rooting caused it. I said that is bull**** and the problem was hardware because I have never seen that message ever before until after the repair job. They wanted another $350 on top of the $300 and blamed me for the damage.

After yelling and arguing for 20 minutes, they said they would exchange the LCD and see if that was the issue. They will call me tuesday and let me know if that fixes it. If not then I refuse to pay $650 to fix a broken phone and I am better off getting a new device.

I have owned and rooted 12 samsung devices in my life and not once has this happened. Very frustrating. I also wrote samsung and email demanding they repair it for free.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
Yup. The Mississauga repair centre has progressively gotten worse, and now every time I'm there, I am witness to a visibly upset customer, and the reps **** off attitude.

The sherway gardens is the same, or even worse, since they are retail driven, they will often send customers to Mississauga repair centre, or Costco, or provider, just because the phone is not purchased through their store. Or they'll tell you to contact samsung first (because they really are not, none of them are. Just samsung tshirts). Quite dumb, but true.

The whole experiment, with Samsung offering better service with their walk in repair centre's has gone downhill pretty quickly.

hello all,

I just found out that Costco (Canada) has S7 (both versions) on Sale, 100OFF.

I purchased it as replacement to my old S3.

Is there anything i should look into after i get this phone? Version/Build/etc?

Please advise.

Thank you for your time.

Fido dropped the price of the S7 edge by 150$ on 2 year max plan. so 350

http://www.fido.ca/consumer/mobile/device-list/device-detail?PhoneSKU=S7EDBLK

Pisses me off cause I got mine less than 30days ago but I can only get the price adjusted within 15days.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] s-f-r-j:
What kind of plan do you have with Fido? Is it still worth buying the phone with contract compared to what i did from Costco? Full price.

As i can cancel/return my phone to Costco, i am still deciding what to do :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
Other than old old retention plans. Nothing beats the Rogers small business plans from Costco if you're porting from someone else... After discounts...135 bucks for 2 lines unlimited Canada and shared 4gb data (yeah small, but $10 dollars for 2gb overage, whereas regular shared plans are 40-50 dollars for 1gb overage nowadays). 2 s7 edge for $100 each. Well you end up paying 500 each at the register, but 400 credit each gets applied on the bill, after 90 days.

Anyone find that their S7 Edge has a small gap between the glass on the sides and the metal side of the phone near the power button. Its not a huge gap, but I can fit part of a piece of paper in it. I am worried this compromises the water resistance.

Thanks

You can always download the firmware/ROM with the samfirm tool and use XAC as the CSC since that's the one that has no bloatware and flash everything to your phone via Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] oxxshadow:
have you personally tried this? I am fine with stock rom, but would appreciate updates lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jproy12:
I did try this, and worked perfectly fine. I had done this prior to installing the SIM card in the phone, when the phone was brand new, which was like I had an unlocked phone, but once I put the Bell Mobility SIM card, it rebooted and installed/formatted and installed all Bell Mobility bloatware.

Worth a shot, all Canadian ROMS are the same, just the carriers bloatware differs from one another.

XAC is the ROM that doesn't have any bloatware from what I've read, its like the ROM for unlocked phones/not associated with a carrier.

AOD still does not move...

As of "Always On Display" 1.1.19, 1.1.22, and the new 1.3.07, on SM-G935W8 (exynos) AOD remains stationary. Despite the update saying it moves 1 pixel per minute and large amounts every 60, despite leaving it on for a few hours, it remains in exactly the same spot.

If only Samsung had left things alone, I did not mind the original action of moving every 30 seconds or so. Perhaps they can put an option to restore that action.

Are there any good glass screen protectors yet?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Ipse_Tase:
Definitely not...based from all the reviews I have seen. It's the curved screen that prevents the edges from sticking properly.

I got a wet Spigen protector and while not perfect, it's good enough for my peace of mind. Gorilla Glass 4 or not, too many reports of scratches to leave the screen naked.

/EDIT: my bad: the case I got is Spigen (Liquid Crystal), the screen protector I got is from Bestsinkever.com:

If you have a case make sure you get the "case" version or else the corners will lift up.

Hey guys. I'm at a point where I'm seriously debating rooting my phone once again. One of the reasons for staying stock is Samsung pay. The way things are going it looks like we're not going to see it before the note 6. The other reason is that I had a hard time getting rid of my note 5 because it was rooted. The repair policy with Samsung is very inconsistent. It's hit or miss...

If there's one thing that might help, is the knowledge that, deep sleep bug due to tripped Knox, does not affect this year's generation of phones. They did not make kernel try to writeback cache to read only (due to knox) partition, as they did, in their "wisdom", for 2015 crop of phones.

No thanks to this thread rooted users when I asked, so pulled the trigger a while back and tested myself.

You will still never get samsung pay, when it launches, in about 4 years [emoji1], but does help immensely when trying to sell the phone to a person that does not want to stay rooted forever.
