My Galaxy 7 Edge

Guys what's up like I'm smacked right now so I wanna tell about my experience with my Sm-G935FD I'm running resurrecting remix with CM 3D launcher with odeee games ( listening?to the weeknd) The battery is really strong I be out in the field and my phone be lasting.... When I get to a charger I still be having like 30 battery other phones my **** be dead when I get to the charger meaning I missed odeee notifications tho... (Edited this like 3 times ⌚ tho..)

Its damn fast. No doubt in that.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mortuus82:
it is fast yes, just as fast as a s8 or note 8 i think, nothing wrong with this phone if u run nova launcher for example, as samsungs touchwiz is just awful.. but the phone and the specs are very good even today.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] jsingla23:
Quite fast

I've been using an S7 Edge for 9 months now and it is quite fast. Nevertheless you might get some lag when scrolling. Overall it is a snappy device, but remember you're living with Samsung's skin. Some love it, some hate it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] alenym:
Gets clunky with time. To make it faster, you have to turn off all the bloat or install a ROM.

Just updated to December security patch and I really need to say this update is amazing. It improved scrolling smoothens and animations in entire UI. They are so much smoother. This update weights only 25 mb but it made a difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] shah22:
Whoa december security patch? And me still stuck on aug patch... wow samsung keep up your tactics of differentiating between customers of different regions
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mpuda:
December security patch for S7 Edge was released few days ago in Germany and after one day I got it in my country which I didn't expect to happen this fast. I live in Bosnia and Herzegovina which is small country but Samsung should keep their phones and users updated no matter where they are.

Hi,

Could anybody point where to find the official HTC French version for an artemis with IPL (G4 I think) by .0001 ?

Thanks a lot

Merci :)

PS : I tried ART_HTCFRA_11240601_026790_FRA_SHIP.exe but the upgrade says INVALID MODEL ID...

PS bis : I also tried P3300_softwareupdate_FRE in the thread below and also INVALID MODEL ID : the process starts uploading and the phone restarts at 2%

PS 2 : And I tried it after USPL (it seems that it worked : I has a "Successfull Install" ... could I verify )

PS 3 : My current ROM version is 1.14.405.1 WWE
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] kuroczyd:
My problem is totally odd :confused:

I managed to change my en htc version to another older one and the SPL version became 1.12, I used uspl and the SPL went to 1.11 as it should be

BUT when I try to upload a french HTC version it fails with INVALID MODEL ID

I am stuck !

Any Idea ?

Question : At the bottom of the window with INVALID MODEL ID I can see : HUEbc568-ASVH55670-HUEbc76:-ASVH55670 What's this ?

S7 Edge Blue Coral

The device is zippy and fast when opening and closing apps.

It just works. I am comparing this to my experiences with the Snapdragon 820 Note 7 which had laggy responses when launching and closing apps.

The Exynos Chip is fantastic

Up to an iPhone level. But some cases, specially gaming, it can be slow.

Should give 5-stars, but ram management is still f*ckd. Considering that my old N3 with 1gb less ram could hold more apps in ram than my new shiny S7E

So if I installed a different ROM, would the RAM issue still there?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Ausboy 2011:
No. You need root and a few lines in the build prop to fix it

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] errorrrr:
there is a HUGE improvement over the S6... full stars
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Ashevar:
Maybe, but it's still worse than an aging nexus 5 which is sad considering the difference in hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] errorrrr:
i think it's at a nice balance right now. it suspends RAM much less aggressive than S6, and not as lax some older custom phones where it can start saving battery by not need to retain apps in RAM...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] DoKaTSuYa:
I don't think it saved battery life, the S6 didn't has the best battery life for killing apps... And reload apps make it consumes more power.

5 easy.. 18 apps is my record waaaay more than I need!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] squallz506:
I have 18 apps in memory, 4 of which are chrome tabs and none are games. I was just looking up verizons customer service number in the Google app. I switched to the dialer and typed in as much as I could remember. Then I switched back to the Google app, and it lost my search results. Typed in verizon customer service again and got the rest of the number. Switched back to the dialer and it cleared the numbers I've typed in. Pathetic. I was getting the customer service number because my unit was scratched out of the box and wanted to exchange it, now I think I'll just return it. My MXPE, which costs half of what this phone does, never had this issue.

Edit: chrome also stutters but I think this might be due to all the ads running. I've always used Ada way before.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] DoKaTSuYa:
You have S820 or Exynos ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] squallz506:
SD820, on verizon.

Also now with 21 apps, everytime I try switching to a chrome tab it refreshes the page.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] BigBSES:
With exynos i never had this issue like you.

I can open easly 10-15 apps and when i switch to copy a number, I tried because of your story, I never had to reload anything, first try I could read multiple times the number and switch to another app an back.

This could be a SD820 issue and not a S7e overall problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] johanbiff:
same here, have the Exynos.. have no problems with RAM what so ever, it holds 18+ apps in RAM
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] spartalord:
exynos here... the same as the above... no problem at all
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] chri55tof:
Well. Comparing my sgs7e to sgs6 i had previously it is a big improvment. What was annoying in s6 was that it couldnt hold the chrome tab, switching between tabs was always refreshing them. Now the content stays. Oh and i am on Exynos (UK Virgin Mobile)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] jtp2293:
Happy to hear that the RAM management is fixed from the S6 to the S7. Going to have to wait a long time before I'm upgrading past the S6, but I digress. I am still on 5.1.1 with AT&T-- never going with a carrier brand phone again. The bloat really tears up my phone. Rookie mistake.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] AthiT789:
Got the Exynos version and i'm happy with the ram management, haven't had any issues with apps reloading and the transitions are always smooth, no animation lag or anything
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] denzel09:
I have 2 phones atm, iphone 6s (no plus) and this s7 edge exynos version with last ADP1 firmware. I must admit that now the iphone 6s has a better ram management.

It's NOT a ram amount problem, the iphones 6s use ALL 2GB, instead galaxy is too much conservative.

With same open apps: play store, stock browser, gmail, setting, signal app and tapatalk.

IF i (with these apps opened in background) use browser for 10 minutes (NOT immediately) for example, i will see tapatalk (or signal, or gmail, depends on the moment) closed and refreshed, NOT on iphone with all ram saturated. Never.

This is really annoying for me because i love to have all in background using always the iphone 6s.

It's NOT a ram amount problem because with those apps opened i have 1.3-1.4 GB free and galaxy ram management tends to close the app after some times, in my case tapatalk i.e (not immediately)., instead use all ram, with 1.4GB free.

This is simply Ridiculous.

Hope with next updates this Ridiculous ram management will be better or i will be forced to use only iphone, again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] nvision:
On Exynos here in NZ, no issues at all with RAM. the S6 Edge wasn't great for sure, the Note 5 was pretty good overall, but the S7E seems to be sorted.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] BigBen60:
It's perfect for my Exynos version, I can use as many apps as I want in background, switch from an app to an other without any bug, It's really impressive !

I always have between 1.5 & 2 GB available RAM. It's the best multitasking I've ever seen
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] denzel09:
Multitasking is too much conservative. I have alwsys at least 1.2 GB free when i.e. tapatalk reloads.

Why all that ram free? It has not sense. ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] denzel09:
I tried rom based on mexico firmware so more updated hoping in something better.

But nothing it s the same.

With 1.4 GB free some apps refresh, it s ridiculous.

Instead to use free ram, system closes apps to free6 ram when there is already free ram available.

Much better ios in this.

I am thinking to sell soon it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] oliver005:
Have the same problem. 1.3+ GB is free, but apps are refreshing if I open them like 2 hours later... What a shame...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Dogtag:
What version of s7 edge do you have. Exynos or SD820. Test with the exynos shows that it keeps more apps in ram and the 820 is far more aggressive with ram cleaning. See here. https://youtu.be/233f0ewFWGk?t=160
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] oliver005:
Sorry, forgot to mention. It's exynos version, 935F. It's not a problem if you open like 10 apps and switch between them, but it's a problem if you open some apps and leave the phone on the table for like 2 hours and then try to switch, it's almost always a refresh.

Got Lg g4 before and I could open some apps today and switch to them like 3 days after, no refresh, all is kept in ram. But on the Samsung it's really bad...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Dogtag:
I guess it's because of the battery saving features of android/sammmy. I personally don't mind a refresh. As long as the battery stays crispy :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] DSF:
I have the same issue. Apps get refreshed when left idle couple of hours. For example opened just a few apps yesterday before going to sleep. Switched between them, all ok. A few hours later app reloads. Almost all of them! Chrome (one simple page), Maps, Keep, Yahoo Mail.. reloaded.

This really really sucks. No solution for that?

[MENTION=396961]Dogtag[/MENTION] funny thing it's that the battery life is not outstanding. iOS keeps the apps in memory days and days and has no issue suspending or with battery life. So this is simply a bad excuse. Also if I am not wrong, my Nexus 5 preserves app in time better, and yet it has maybe better standby battery life than the S7.

Phone uptime: aprox 75 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] J.Biden:
I've noticed that apps keep themselves open for much longer when I disable, or set the app battery saver to "never". I'm guessing that it's a part of the whole Doze/battery efficiency stuff in Marshmallow that's causing apps to "kill" themselves after not being used for awhile. Sure, I can have 15 apps running at the same time if I launch them now, and I'll be able to switch between them without any reloading. The system will close the ones I don't use after some time though, which is pretty logical since no one switches and uses 15 apps. It keeps the ones I'm using open though.

For example, I'm a heavy user of Facebook Messenger, and it'll almost never close that app no matter what. It's the same with Slide for Reddit since I use it a lot. The Netflix app tends to refresh often, but I only use that app with my Chromecast, and I don't really use it that often, so it's logical that it want to refresh the current state of things (playback etc.). Phonograph used to close when I didn't use it, but it pretty much stopped doing that after I set it to never save battery. You can turn the whole app battery saver thingy off, or you can enable or disable it app-by-app. I don't see any issues with leaving apps I rarely use to save battery, but it gets annoying when often used apps close, so I set them to never save battery, and it seems like it helps a lot.

The only apps I've used today are: FB Messenger, Phonograph, Netflix, Internet and Slide for Reddit. Not a single one of those have reloaded once today (16 hours), and all of them have been deactivated in the battery saver menu. Not saying that this is the solution, but all I can say for now is that is that it looks to be much better after doing this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] DSF:
[MENTION=7382803]J.Biden[/MENTION] thanks. I've disabled the battery saver and see if my apps are kept in RAM.

The idea is, it's late, you start to write a long message on a forum, switch to other app, and you felt asleep. Next day in the morning, kaaboom, your message is lost cos the app reloaded (in this case Chrome). This is a plausible scenario. And only one example when a reliable and robust system is needed
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] DSF:
Just tested after few hours (about 3 hours) and Battery saver being disabled didn't helped at all.. Most of the apps did reload :(. I had about 10 apps opened.

This is so damn pathetic.. ! We have 4GB in vain, once again.. Thanks samsung.

Grrr... It makes me so frustrated...

BTW, I have the Exynos variant.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] denzel09:
Disable app battery saver in battery section is the solution for me. Finally i can have all apps that i need w/o any refresh for days like on ios. Finally.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] J.Biden:
I have the Exynos version too, and I have noticed that some apps just handle RAM poorly. It has to be something there, because the worst app when it comes to closing itself is "TVShow Time". Jesus on a stick, that app has horrible memory management. If I open it, throw it into the background and leave the phone alone for 30 minutes, it'll kill itself. Guaranteed. It's pathetic.

Slide for Reddit is great at handling memory, so is Sync for Reddit, Solid Explorer, Weather Timeline, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Phonograph (to some degree), Netflix (depends) and Samsung Internet. All of these are great, high quality apps made by competent devs (yes, even FB Messenger, lol)

...while the worst ones (on my phone) are, as mentioned, TVShow Time, Youtube, and Google Photos. It may or may not have anything to do with content refresh. The better thing to do in this case would be to make the content itself refresh, and not the entire app, devs? Duh!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] DSF:
@ J.Biden UPDATES

It seems that after restarting, I've opened some apps and left them open while sleeping and when i checked all of them were kept in RAM!

So, it seems you must restart the device after disabling battery saver.

I had Youtube, Gallery, WhatsApp, Slack, Maps, Play Store, Galaxy Apps and Chrome with 1 page loaded. All apps were kept in memory! Cool..

PS: I use chrome with "Merge tabs and apps" settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] DSF:
While the apps stay next day, if I start to use an app more, for example scroll a bit on facebook, or watch some videos on youtube, other apps get out from memory.. even if I have plenty of free memory. I really cannot understand why the multitasking and memory management is so bad on samsung phones. It has 4 freaking gb of ram..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] monaa11:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] monaa11:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] DSF:
The ram management piss me off. I cannot stand this annoying, inconsistent, pathetic Android ram management.. if i come back to another app after using another app for a while it keeps damn reloading! I had this issue with multiple android devices... I think the only solution is to switch back to the limited ios ???*???*???*???*
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] harrymills:
Memory management on the S7 is great. I can load and switch between 5-10 apps with no trouble which I don't think would have been possible with the S6.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] DSF:
Try to use an app more. Eg: chrome/internet browser, youtube. Many times i get my other apps out from memory
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] stefan kuntz:
So if I disable app battery saver, is it going to suspend apps are he background like iOs?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] 1sagain:
All my Apps kept in memory

I tested it out on my S7 Edge Blue Coral (Exynos Variant)

All my apps stayed in the background process from what I saw.

I usually keep a few games (Asphalt 8, Tsum Tsum, and FFIX etc) in the background along with the usual slew of apps such as: messages, Kakaotalk, samsung browser, and a few more other apps.

I have a habit of hitting the multitask button and just swapping from game to browser to kakaotalk to text on a consistent basis throughout the day.

I have not seen anything re load unless it was designed to do so ( IDLE games normally reset as they have to update).

My Browser keeps all pages (snapdragon always reloaded them on my Note 7)

Asphalt 8 just stayed on the whole time

Overall, there is a lot less of waiting around for apps to reload on the Exynos variants compared to what I felt on my beloved Note 7 (Snapdragon 820)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] squallz506:
In chrome it's terrible. I'm not sure if it's due to the ads, since I have previously used Adaway. Scrolling is choppy with lots of frame drops. Web pages will stop loading at 90% and not let me interact with links. Often get a blank screen for 15secs while a page loads. I haven't had a browsing experience this bad since my Optimus V on sprint 3g. Looks like I'll be eating a $35 restock fee. I would've liked to try the Samsung browser but verizon has removed it.

Edit: a reboot resolved the loading issues for now, but scrolling is still choppy. Extremely choppy if you scroll while ads are still loading.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] gsxrfl1k6:
Same, I'm on T-mobile and tried the stock browser as well with the same result.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] squallz506:
