[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Fade629:
I don't think Galaxy Alpha will get Marshmallow update, just like the Galaxy Grand 2 didn't get Lollipop update
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] ghaem.xh:
In smartphones world there is no chance to support & updates more than 2 years..it's a trick to force users to change their phones if wana be uo to date..but i think we can use our phone for 3 years if there is no physical damages like battery..at the end sorry for bad english??
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] stleee:
Apple Inc support their phones and tablet at least 5 years, then look at the Android phones, only 18 months

The A3 is getting 5.0.2 maybe tomorrow we gonna have MM update ?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Soul17:
I'm thinking LG or Oneplus? I might wait and see what HTC does. Besides Nexus who updates the best and LONGEST?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] shinyghosts:
Last day and chance Samsung :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Mojar7070:
I highly doubt the ATT g850a will get an update. ATT just has too many devices to keep tabs on and to update each one will hinder their profit on the next batch of new devices. So for me, IF, I buy a device from ATT I already expect updates to stop coming withing the first year of use.

The G850A was a good device, I still have it and use it occasionally. Most of the time I just use it for sport activities or for the gym because of its compact size. Add on a solid case and glass screen protector, and it gets pretty rugged.

Lastly, will i need to insert a Sim card into the device to receive the update (if there is one) or will it be able to detect the update via Wifi??

I think we don't gonna have MM ...why samsung ;-;(I think i gonna buy the nexus 5x or note 4)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] gtrs36:
Someone have Samsung's email?

I think that we should send them a lot of emails about the MM update that we want.

Galaxy Alpha is a premium phone like S5\S6\S7.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] shinyghosts:
I agree with you and I sent an email about MM update and I am waiting to reply.

You can found all contact ınformation here and sent an email which country whatever you want.

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Excting:
that's enough. no more samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Kincadium:
As much as i love my alpha and everything it is and is capable of, it's really not. It's not a flagship. There's a reason it was still $200 less than those on average. Is it a great device, absolutely.

And anyone thinking of getting something other than samsung as their next phone... go ahead. That's the beauty of Android and the entire idea behind be together, not the same. Embrace the different ideas that other company's bring to the table. Besides.. Samsung doesn't care, and neither does the next company you're buying into. It's a business, plain and simple.

The A5 is getting 5.1.1 maybe tomorrow we gonna have the update 5.1.1 or MM ?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] asetmumin99:
There is no 5.1.1 for alpha. That's for sure. We don't even need it actually. You won't see any difference. However, if we are really gonna get MM with new touchwiz and it's not even in developing stage, well, let's say mid august maybe? Or September?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] gtrs36:
or never by samsung..
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] FarazAslam:
How do you know Alpha won't get 5.1.1?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] asetmumin99:
Well buddy,

Firstly, our current rom (5.0.2) is quite stable and works pretty good.

Secondly, today is July 3rd, as we all remember Samsung promised MM for alpha, .... when? A month ago?

So do you still want them to publish 5.1.1 instead of MM? I think majority will disagree with you. Coz if Samsung decides to go this way, we gotta say goodbye to MM. [emoji4]
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] FarazAslam:
I never said I wanted 5.1.1 instead of MM. But yes I agree with you. I wanted to ask you, is it possible to skip 5.1.1 and get MM?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] asetmumin99:
Indeed I don't know, my friend, sorry I misunderstood you. About skipping, actually it's up to Samsung. So then why it's not possible? ))

And which can never be perfect roms , because there is no way to get Fingerprint & HRM sensors work . Our Processor is Closed Source . And another thing , samsung not giving a **** to us , because galaxy alpha market share is very very low. When i went to buy a case for this phone , almoast every shopkippers saying , Is it Samsung phone ? When did it launched ? :P
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] shinyghosts:
And now Samsung Galaxy A8 is getting marshmallow update. But Alpha still Lollipop. It is very disappointing.:mad:

Still on 5.0.2 though
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Stevethegreat:
1) Galaxy Alpha is most probably going to get Marshmallow.

2) Are there any moderators here? I come to be informed on anything that may be new and all I see is b*tc*ing.

Honestly XDA is not Gizmodo, or GSMArena or whatever ... This is a very low quality thread that should be locked, until we'd actually have any new info on the matter.

3) Thread Reported.

Grazie.

Purtroppo la ROM in italiano dal sito ufficiale HTC non la posso scaricare in quanto il TyTn l'ho acquistato su Ebay e non mi riconosce durante la registrazione il SN.

Però mi sembra che su xda posso trovarla.

I would want to change my HTC TyTn HERM200 ROM with the beautiful ROM that are found on this newsgroup, but I am stop on these questions:

1) as I can save my ROM to restore her/it in the case the updating it didn't work?

2) where to find a ROM completes of all the software in Italian.

3) if this rom didn't exist I can take in English one of it and to transform (don't I know how) her/it in Italian?

4) in alternative as I can add some programms on my extract ROM
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] bibiner:
Just like the topic. Do you think you need screen protector or tempered glass? I had awful experience with S6 Edge when trying to use screen protector and curved tempered glass.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] gainstatom:
I don't have the phone yet, but I have an HTC one m8 and I haven't been using a case or screen protector for as long as I can remember. I have no damage or scratches to the screen whatsoever, and this is Gorilla Glass 3, I would think the Gorilla Glass 4 on the S7 edge would be much better.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] CuBz90:
Based on tests I've seen on YouTube, the screen appears to be very good at resisting scratches. I'll still be using a screen protector to be on the safe side,.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] emptydream:
Yeah, I don't like screen protector. However, the phone is really hard to fix this though. So I wouldn't take the risk.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] marcgear:
I have always used some sort of screen protection on all my phones however this time around I'm gonna go naked. I think it will take away some of the wow of the handset.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beefheart:
Yes, absolutely no doubt. Just the tiniest of marks on a screen bother the hell out of me, so I put a screen protector on and change it once every month or two. Pity the glass ones on curved screen phones never make the grade and don't sit properly.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] albie999:
I have used tempered glass as well .. but if they are not good on S7 Edge ... what we gonna use this time. Don't fancy putting on the tacky plastic ones
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beefheart:
I've checked out videos of traditional film protectors being applied to the S6 Edge, and it seems a tricky process but one that, if done properly, will result in a very good finish. I've been my family and friends go to for applying screen protectors for years, so I'm confident I'll get them on ok.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] albie999:
Well, hopefully Vodafone (for us) start shipping soon, and we can get to try them out. If you do find a good one, then you probably would anyway, but share the link ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beefheart:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65632079&postcount=468

Don't hold your breath. In fact, I'd get on the phone to them and make sure it's not happening with your order as well. I only know one other Vodas**t UK member on here who pre-ordered the S7, and his was stuck too.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] albie999:
Oh crap, I hope that does not happen to ours, as mine is still in that state on the order tracking page
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beefheart:
Told you mate, get on the phone to them now. They're so utterly useless, you won't find out there is an issue with your order until it's not delivered by the 11th and you call them to find out where it is. By which time you will need to wait another couple of weeks. And don't use Live Chat.

Despite what I was told this morning, I have zero confidence I'll get mine and the wife's handsets by the 11th.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Dr. Fed:
I'm using one. All it takes is one little piece of sand, or a sliding drop on concrete.

Normally, I prefer tempered glass. We'll see if any good ones become available soon. For now, I'm using the Skinomi. I put it on Tuesday night, and wow did it look like crap. 24 hours later, though, it looked really good. And now, even better. Strange magic.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] albie999:
Right then, I have just spoken to them, and they have "assured" me that the phone will be delivered on the 8th March, as promised .... suppose will just have to wait and see
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beefheart:
Sounds like what I was told on Tuesday via live chat with someone in India I think. I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but the woman I spoke to this morning was in the UK, and when I brought up what I'd been told on Live Chat, she specifically stated that Live Chat is always with someone in another country, as if that made a difference. Perhaps the information they have access to is different? Either way, we're off topic in this thread so fingers crossed you get yours on the 8th. I suspect that will be before mine, despite my call this morning.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mklass:
Wonder if screen protectors and tempered glass will affect the quality of viewing for gear vr.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ron9349:
if putting on a screen protector...

I also do not like to use screen protector. I do not use one on my ipad. However, for a phone which are more likely to be put into a pocket with keys and other hard object, I do think it is wise to use one . Also, it all depends on how you use your phone.

I have used "ArmorSuit MilitaryShield" brand of protector on my Camera screen (LX100) and on my Microsoft Band 2 screen. And i don't even notice I have a protective film on those screens, it does not make the screen feel tacky. A side benefit of having the protector on my Band is the finger print doesn't seem to be a problem anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ekjl:
Definitely should. No matter what Gorilla Glass version it uses, you will always get hairline scratches. Always. No matter how careful you are.

I don't use cases at all 'cause it takes away from the beauty of a nicely designed phone.

I have the Note 5 currently and on the front I have the Mime Feather+ Glass screen protector. Amazing stuff. Highly recommended. However though, I may opt for a film screen protector to start until Mime comes out with an all clear glass in the Feather+ line. I looked at their S6 Edge product line and they only have the Feather Glass and the glass have different colors along the top, sides and bottom; I want an all clear glass.

On the back of the phone, I've used a film protector called Clear Coat. My local phone dealer uses Clear Coat so I had them put it on for me. It's super thin, edge to edge, and feels great. I may have them put it on the front for me as well when I get my S7 Edge.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beefheart:
But drop that phone onto a hard surface (which even the most careful person does occasionally) and that nice Clear Coat protection on the back may as well not be there. Unless you're very fortunate, you will have dents and marks on the outside edge or, worse, a cracked back or screen. The key for me is balancing the look and feel of a premium phone with protection. And a thin, transparent protecting cover like the Spigen Liquid Crystal is perfect for that. You keep the overall look of the phone, but combined with protection for all but the most severe accidents.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Onyok:
Just like most folks here wouldn't take the chance of running it naked. Have one on its way. For now this would suffice http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BG2EJYS/ref=pe_861660_138883610_fxm_4_0_n_id until there's a good TGSP out there! Hopefully, they'd come up with something really soon!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ekjl:
Yeah, that's the down side with no outer protection. I've had my Note 2 and Nexus 5 cracked on cement. But I have no problems just buying a new phone. In the past, I've always bought a case along with my new phone but ended up only using it for a very short time before ditching it. I think the only device I have in a case since the very beginning is my iPad Air 2.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beefheart:
I do have an problem buying a new phone, or more to the point the wife would. My household insurance covers my phone with virtually no excess, but despite that I cringe just thinking about being blase with it's protection, especially one as expensive as the S7 Edge. I'm quite particular about keeping my phones looking good. My Note 3 is now playing up and powers off occasionally for no reason, being nearly two-and-a-half years old. But regardless of the issues internally, it looks brand new.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ekjl:
Lol the wife has a major problem with me getting a new phone every so often. It has to go through her first. But we've always mutually worked it out.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] CuBz90:
I'm exactly the same. I always have a case and screen protector ready to apply before I even get the phone. The S7 Edge is stunning so I'm not taking any chances!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] bibiner:
So sad that malaysia won't have any good curved tempered glass for sale. Right now on s6 edge. Screen protector easily broken. The only curved tempered selling is from China and once applied, left and right side of the screen become unresponsive making typing message very painful. They don't even sell normal s7 here. So sad, guess I'll have to skip this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jtw_111:
Screen protector, no. I don't like how they look and feel. Case, yes. But a minimal one...no clunky Otterboxes or anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Eran Says:
I have this screen protector; it's great, full coverage and slick to the touch. The only problem is that any of the cases I like push the edges of the screen protector up.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BG2EJYS/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_fuC8wbCEDRPB9

I have this VRS Shine guard and love it. It's the perfect level of protection and it looks fantastic but it pushes the screen protector up.

I https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BCZFKA6/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_yqC8wbKW2G2QN

Just got this case and it doesn't push up the screen protector up, offers really good protection, but it's too big for my taste (keep. In mind I came from a note 4) and it's not very good looking

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BLI4FWI/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_ntC8wb4D4GGPB

I need to find a way to use screen protector with the shine guard case but I haven't been able to make it work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] stevae:
actually as funny as this is going to sound, my case and screen protector really make the phone. first, a minimalist case like the spigen neo hybrid is just as beautiful as the back of tghe phone, maybe more so. and there is NO FINGERPRINTS. next, i decided to buy the IQ Matte sp, and it does two really great things. first, it completely eliminates fingerprints. there is NO fingerprints on my display, ever. the second thing is even better, it eliminates almost 100% of the glare that kills this phone. my screen is always very silky looking, and it is still very crisp and clean. yes the feel is a little different, but you get use to that within a few days. i have zero scratches on it, as it is also self-healing. and it looks regal. while everyone else around me is always changing their angles to see better, i have perfect view from any angle now, because of no glares. hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Semseddin:
Bought the S7 Edge yesterday and babied it as usual, today i saw a hairline scratch on my screen. On the contary i have used Moto Maxx ( latam droid Turbo variant ) for a year without a screen protector, no scratches at all. Very disappointed about the s7 edge screen scratch durability on day 1. I am definitly putting a protector on it, otherwise it can look like **** in no time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] AvivEliyahu:
Does the case lift up the edges of the screen protector?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] stevae:
no, not at all. the trick is, when you apply the screen saver, to use plenty of the liquid, and get it in place quickly. then keep pushing evenly on the sides, to make sure you have no wrinkles and that all the edges are matched up around the sensors, home button, camera and sides. then keep squeezing the liquid out from underneath it with the squeegee. i went into the bathroom, and turned on the hot water for several minutes before i began, to get the dust out of the air. then i cleaned the surface of the display, and left the cleaning cloth over the display until i was ready to put the protector on. that way no dust could fall on it. mine is perfect. there is no scratch or wrinkle or anything wrong iwth it. it is on just right, and you can't even see it. but you can tell something is different about mine, when you look at others. as mine does not have all the glare. good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] AvivEliyahu:
Great. I'm just scared suddenly do the move to normal screen protector and not an tempered glass one. Since it's not as protective as glass
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jc83:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] stevae:
if you put a nice case on it, and a good screen protector, it will be completely taken care of. a warranty from foursquare can't hurt either. only $5 per month.
