I stand corrected. It does work, I was just missing one number. Once you press the last # it should take you to this screen automatically. You shouldn't have to press the phone icon. If it doesn't work check your numbers and try again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
Again it doesn't work for me, maybe because im not on the most popular providers?

I remember the store clerk saying to put my sim card in before i setup the phone otherwise the phone will be wiped if i do it later, but it wasn't wiped and no software was added one from any provider.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
What's your phones model number? Is it SM-G935F?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
G930W8
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Interesting. Well maybe the fact that you put the sim card after setting up makes your phone behave like an international phone and the csc was never downloaded onto your phone. Hard to say. I don't know of any other way to change your csc.

Thanks for the FYI.

Did the samsung store release it a bit early in BC? Also, the store was open on Sunday? So jealous :)

The Toronto location said 28th and i'm crossing my fingers this is the case. I'm itching to pick it up later today.

I called too. The gold and Silver edge shipment hasn't arrived, but expecting is this afternoon. Man, this is painful.

According to them, they'll call the parties that pre-ordered, which I won't count on.

For those who bought the S7 from the Samsung Experience store, I got 2 questions:

Was the phone box sealed when you got it? I just noticed that when I brought it home you can open the flap without a seal. Secondly, was there any protective film on the screen of the phone or on the glass back when you got the phone out of the box? Mine did not have something like that protecting it. The Samsung Rep said the phone was brand new but I am starting to think it was refurbished....

thanks

My device did have a protector on both front and back of the phone, but the case/box was not sealed, I assume they all come that way.

You can always download the app Phone INFO *Samsung*:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo

There's an option that'll give you the headset and charger connect count as well as telling you if your device has ever been refurbished, see my screenshot:

Hope that helps!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] oxxshadow:
Yea thanks for the input. Did you buy yours from a Samsung Experience store though? I am afraid that its not refurbished, but that its an open box return.

just wondering here in canada is it possible to use dual sims in the edge phone , 2 sims no sd card ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jproy12:
No I bought mine at a local Costco...

If you are afraid that it is an open box, download the app I mentioned and look at the Charger and Headset connect count, both should be 0 or nothing displayed at all, that screenshot was taken from my S6 Edge, on my S7 Edge I don't have any counts yet, so nothing is displayed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ex-28:
when i run phone info it says original but it doesnt show headset and charger count at all , any ideas ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jproy12:
It's because you havent used either of the ports yet, it's the same on my S7 Edge.

I assume once you start using them, they'll have a count.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ex-28:
ive had my phone scince release date 11th uninstalled and reinstalled no change
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jproy12:
I'm not sure then, I haven't used either of the ports on my S7 Edge since I charge wirelessly and haven't used the headset port.

Anyone else confirm it works?

On a side note, what is the manufacturer date of your S7 edge? And I assume it was made in Vietnam?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ex-28:
2016.02.16 vietnam
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ufojoe:
I installed this app and I don't see those numbers either. I've had the phone since release day and I don't have a wireless charger so I've definitely used the charging port a few times.

Also, mine was manufactured the next day in Vietnam on 2016.02.17.

like ISperfection, we're waiting on our pre-orders to arrive, which is any day now. Some got theirs yesterday on an earlier shipment.

I assume the March 31st date they mentioned is for regular inventory.....geeez, i hope this is the case.

Of course but when you said "new" I just assumed you meant new from Google. I actually bought my first nexus 6p off of Kijiji and one month later it was blacklisted. Lost 350$ on that one. Luckily I was able to sell it as blacklisted on Kijiji for 400$

I've bought well over 20 myself in the past 3yrs and it was my only blacklisted one. Was a teenager though, should have known better. :p
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
Since this all blacklist started, I always make sure that I take persons picture of a driver's licence. I also give one myself when selling. I also ask them to sign a paper saying they sold it to me (so that they can not claim that I stole it).

They think twice before reporting it then. I also don't buy from a teenager without licence,or someone who claims they left it at home.

Note 5 ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ISperfection:
You can check if phone is blacklisted before you buy tho. But this does not help if they report it afterwards. dammm that would be low tho.

Even worse, not stolen but the seller cancels the plan and the phone isn't paid for. Then it gets blacklisted anyway because they want full payment. The carrier technically is the owner so they have the right to blacklist.

What screen protector are you guys using? I have superguardz on and it keeps coming off from the sides and top.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Garrett1972:
If you can trust and prove it, and possibly have to prove it was him or her who owns it too. Say mom or dad (if a teen/young adult) was the seller and it was paid for but registered with Samsung, could the parent report it stolen?

I think you are on the right track. I'd say bill of sale, with ID, call with email follow up to the carrier that it is paid for, not locked to a contract and the original purchase info to be as in the clear as possible. Sounds almost crazy, but with phones $1000 now or more, better safe than sorry.

That being said, I've sold Kijiji items with no issue, including phones. My Note 2 wasn't paid for and still on contract too. Used the money to buy the Note 3. So, they could have assumed I was scamming. Samsung details, Google Android - lock my device ID still showed up on my account - and probably does with Samsung. But I'd never do anything with it, they paid cash and a good price. Plus it is way out of warranty anyway.

Interesting to think of what can happen and what people have done. Most are honest, but those real scammers ruin it for everyone else.

I'm still trying to figure out if I like the new task switcher. So used to cards, but the list is nice too, see more apps quite quickly. Sure, you don't get the mini card/screenshot but I generally know what I was looking at last. Seeing the split screen option is nice too, even though it is on the card view too. Seems easier to view a lot of recent items easier.

The colour scheme is a bit limited and I had the phone reboot this morning and Good Lock seems to have disabled itself. Odd. I've had a few random reboots. So subtle and fast that it was hard to notice it happened. Both before and after the Good Lock install.

I wish it was simpler to figure out in stock Android what is causing crashes. Right now I don't want to root, hoping for Samsung Pay to support my banks. Or at least Android Pay to hurry up and get to Canada. I think that one will work if rooted, correct? If I can avoid rooting I will. I used Titanium Backup all of the time, but this time Samsung Smart Switch did a really great job keeping almost everything. Almost better that Titanium Backup and Helium. In fact, I bet some old app from my Note 3 I carried over might be an issue. Not sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Yeah, it is a bit buggy but I love the new routine function. Got one for home and one for work. It changes the colour scheme of the drop down btw. To answer your other question samsung pay will not work after rooting but Android pay should. Samsung announced the would be rolling out sp to Canada sometime this year but no news about Android pay.

update on Samsung Sherway Garden, went to pick up my sis Gold S7 and they told me that S7 Edge Silver just came in but no S7 gold edge yet.

Silver is looking dammm good too but i still prefer the Gold. They have both colors on display now.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] xcha0tic:
Bit of chiming in, no issues for me. Have had a great experience with my phone luckily I haven't experienced any issues I've seen some people report.

Also for battery I've gotten 1d and 14H with the first day being used as normal and the last 8 hours being used lightly. I believe I ended the first say with around 40-50% and thats standard usage minus game playing. So I was very impressed I could have stretched it to 2 days most likely but I decided to throw it on the charger. I threw it on the charger when it was at around 8% left.

Only gripe with the phone is only color available near me and with videotron was black, I would have loved the white or silver. Bur nonetheless sleek, gorgeous looking phone.

Loving the new good lock, mainly like it because of the notification grouping lol.

Finally got my silver s7 edge from the sherway location. It's everything and more. :)

FYI, they call you "once" and if you don't pick up, they move onto the next person on the list. They don't leave voicemail. I was lucky to call them back when I got a missed call. To add, they give you only 2 days to pick up the unit. I get there's a high demand and they want the units picked up, but still sh1tty tactics on their part, imho.

Side note, I hit the bet buy to get this custom cut screen protector. $30. So far, I'm close to refunding the product. The install was poorly done. It had some what it looked like water bubbles and dented grooved that aren't self healing. Also, the cut seemed off, covering a part of the lens ring. No affect on the photos though. Overall, it feels very similar to the tacky feeling zagg protector which I do like. Ymmv. Lastly, my typing has been compromised. My typing is less responsive. I'll give it the weekend to see if things improve.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] blwc:
Picked my silver edge last night...yes it's nice.

I went right over to the Best Buy across the street from Sherway and got the front and back screen protector and I too am not impressed by the look and feel after 24 hours. It's more the installation job that I have issues with. I have 2 big bubbles on the screen still...and they don't look to be disappearing. I will probably head to a different Best Buy tomorrow and get the front protector redone...since it is free from here on in.

Do you mean that you had BestBuy apply the clearplex screen protector? If so can you post pictures of what it looks like on your device? I am very tempted to do this because so far having read through many threads it does not sound like anybody has had success with any of the tempered glass screen protectors. It seems that this company is known for doing protective work on car windshields so i suspect it is a fairly durable screen protector, but my question is how it affects the clarity and the touch sensation of the screen. I absolutely love the screen on this device and I would hate for it to be somewhat marbled as it gets from some of the other type of wet apply screen protectors out there. I also don't want anything that might room how nice the screen looks. That is why the traditional glass tempered ones or the crystal clear pet ones tended to be good. The problem is that the pet ones are not durable and the glass ones don't seem to work because of the edge-shaped screen.
