Hey guys , its been 6 months using s7 edge now , there is a problem i am witnessing now and i want you people's suggestions on it.

In first 2 months i used to get 7hours of SOT and total usage of around 16-19 hours (i mean literally k achieved it) but it since i started using reliance jio 4g , it started declining , now i am not using jio since 1 month still i hardly get 3hours plus SOT even using power saving mode , phone last just 8-9hours with full (slow) charge.

I tried to communicate with samsung care executives, they said they will send a guy in 2 days to pick my phone and try to resolve issue , but it will take 5-6days and dont guarante if they will replace my battery or resolve it completely.

Phone is under warranty and its the only phone i have right now , i cant give them this phone for 5 days with out subsitute phone , i asked them but they denied my request for subsitute phone.

My per hour battery drain (no blutooth,no wifi, no data mode) is 6-7% , i am pretty sure it isnt normal and i. Have already tried all the available tricks to increase battery life.

Any suggestions for my situation?

Hi,

I've bought my s7 edge from Singapore and been 2 months now. I'm witnessing that the paint on home button is peeling off slightly at the edges of the home button.

My question is am I covered under warranty here in India as well?

If not, how much would it cost to get the home button replaced?

Kindly help someone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] pvinodnayak:
No warranty for the paint going off i guess. But do ask in Samsung showroom.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] swiftfury:
Anyone got the September update ?

Nope

Hi there! I have recently started using the jio sim. I feel there is no significant battery drain compared to my airtel (3G) sim. I am getting about 2+ days standby with lte data on all the time (except while sleeping i.e 5 hrs per day) along with 6+ hrs of screen on time and about 3 hrs of 4G voice calling. My usage is the same as before (on airtel 3G). I am pretty happy with this, as I was sure (going by the reviews here and elsewhere) that lte data would reduce the battery backup to almost half of what i was getting with 3G data! Screenshots attached below.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] toocool7610:
Exactly what I am facing, exactly same :(

Have you thrown jio sim out of the phone or not?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] toocool7610:
What rom are you using bro?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] toocool7610:
Any fix for 'after jio' battery drain guys?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Dpk1:
Latest samsung stock rom (no root). Bloatware like facebook, google app, few others disabled.

P.S I am using jio sim in slot 1 and 128 gb samsung evo sdcard in slot 2. I have only myjio app with jio cinema installed. No other jio apps.

I have been trying the whole day today to replicate the pink spots (with hdr on), in all the conditions where this issue was most apparent, using my rear cam (isocell) but have failed to do so. Earlier I used to have 1-3 tiny pink/purple dots in photos clicked with hdr on against bright sky (only seen on zooming it), but after the latest update I don't see them anymore! I hope this issue is gone for good this time!

P.S - 3 days later I realised that the pink dot issue has infact not been fixed. They have only tricked the hdr auto mode to show hdr on when required but actually click the pics with hdr off always!

Hello guys. How is the battery life after the latest BPIO update? Any changes?

Also please advise if there is any improvements in performance. My phone hangs quite iften, especially gallery and while multitasking.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bala_gamer:
new bpio update is perfect, easily getting 20+ hrs of stand by (even with average jio signals) and 5.5+ hrs of SOT. performance is fluid
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Chirag22ster:
PIO update

Did you do an OTA update or through PC?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] swiftfury:
OTA has helped with the battery life a bit, standby drain has improved a lot, I loose around 0.2% per hour or less at night.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] swiftfury:
So apparently we got WiFi calling, I see it in quick settings, but since zero carriers support it, it's completely useless.

Guys I had prebooked the Note7, but going by the latest development it seems Samsung has officially called it off globally. I am planning on getting the S7e & need some answers urgently, your help will be appreciated.

1) is it OK to buy the S7edge from Dubai? Will it work perfectly over here or are they region locked?, getting it at 35k ag official Indian price of 50k.

2) Also buying the S7edge from eBay India a good idea? Are they selling genuine brand new devices or some refurbished stuff. There are 2 sellers from Chennai with good ratings selling them. Just wondering if he ebay ones are exynos variant.

3) Are the Dubai/eBay Variants Volte compatible?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] x017in:
Where do you find in quick settings?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bala_gamer:
its OTA, no complete package available yet i believe

It would be useful with making calls from jio hotspot i think, that could be the only reason for samsung to enable this feature

its the PDA/name of the latest available stock rom
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Chirag22ster:
Guys Stand by battery drain on BPIO.

On Wifi 6% drain over 6 hours

On 4G 2% drain over 6 hours.

Strange. But i am happy.

Hi guys,

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] gopalbose0:
Its never gone i still have this issue but to replicate it the situation has to be perfect. I only notice it by manually decreasing exposure and with incandescent lighting with the camera pointing at both the light and window showing outside views.

I have recently purchased S7 Edge and was going through this thread.

Just want to know how you all guys are rooting the phone? Doesnt it trip the KNOX and invalidate the warranty?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] x017in:
Yes it does
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] honest1212:
So basically, it invalidates warranty and people are fine with it? :confused:

I would also like to know, if there is someone in the thread who has rooted s7 edge and had to give for repair. I just bought my s7 edge. I'm used to rooting my device on the first day, but because of knox, extremely hesitant to.

Facing battery drain and it would have been much easier to get details using better battery stats

Network not found issue

Damn! Now, i'm facing issue with the SIM card. After some time, I'm not able to make any calls or do anything as it says, Network not found. (even though range is still appearing as full)

After investigation, what I found is that when I put the Network mode to LTE/3G/2G (auto connect), this issue happens. However, if it is put to any other mode, I'm able to make both phone calls or access data.

Anyone knows whether this is a software issue or hardware. Seems like I'll have to give to service centre, then :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] x017in:
No good tempered glass.

Hello , Can any of brother enlighten me about rooting?

Has anyone here has a rooted s7 edge?

I am stock since begining but i am considering root to be my option , as i cannot install custom fonts (other than samsung ones) and wanted to try greenify too.

But i heard that rooting breaks fingerprint sensor and it cannot be used again after root.

Is that true ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] rajat_delhi:
That is totally incorrect. Fingerprint works fine with root. Search xda for correct supersu and twrp.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Farani94:
Any supersu and twrp for 935f will work on 935fd as well? Coz i guess we all got 935fd in India.

S7 edge is my first ever samsung phone , earlier used moto X series and before that iPhones so i know about moto Phones , simpler to root and install roms and all but with samsung it seems difficult to me with hell lot of models for same phone.

Anyway should i root? I have few months warranty left , tripping nox will void warranty , will it be a big issue in India? Pune/Mumbai?

Xposed framework , greenify and ifont root access will be worth it i guess.

Thank you so much for help.. bro

---------- Post added at 03:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 PM ----------

Any supersu and twrp for 935f will be compatible with 935fd as well? Coz i guess we all got 935fd in India.

4/5months of warranty is remaining , knox will trip if i root , will it be a problem in India (mumbai/pune) ?

iFont root access , xposed framework , greenify would be enough i guess to justify my need to root for me.

S7 edge is my first samsung phone , I have earlier used moto X series phones and before that i had iPhone , know about rooting moto phones , so simple and easy , but samsung phones seem difficult to root as they have soo many variants of same phone.

Any word of help would be appreciated.

Thanks alot :)

Sharing my feedback after using for couple of months

I have been using Galaxy flagship since Galaxy S4 launched. Galaxy S4 > Note 3 > S6 > S7 Edge. Bought this phone over iPhone 6S, though i have used iPhone 6 for a year. No question as iOS out performs Android on OS department. Sharing my feedback on S7 Edge.

Build - 8/10, masterpiece architecture, glass body leads to scratches. I don't want to cover up my phone with back cover as it ruins the beauty.

Hardware - 8/10, Samsung's exynos does well. No lag witnessed.

Display - 10/10, greatest part of the phone is AMOLED display.

Audio - 5/10, since this is water resistant, they had to compromise on few audio aspects.

Battery - 8/10, Lasts long for whole day on hefty usage.

Design - 8/10, Edge makes the phone more charming, but Samsung should give up copying things bottom speaker design.

Software - 9/10, Touchwiz have evolved at its best. Features like AOD & multi-window is best.

Camera - 9/10, best camera in a smartphone. Unbelievable even Apple couldn't match up camera with Samsung flagship phones. Give the phone to a pro photographer, he will try matching up with the DSLR.

Attached few shots which was taken from selective focus feature.

I have tried slickwraps but originality won! Here are few shots.

After using for couple of months, there was a vertical red line started appearing on display. Later realized its defective display. No scratch found as i look after my phone well. I don't have practice of keeping my phone desk or floor unless there is a tissue paper on it.

After pathetic customer support from Samsung, I have indeed handed over the phone on my 5th day. Samsung have horrible support in my opinion. I have shouted at them several times. The phone is in service center and at the moment using Mi Note 3. Of course I miss my S7 Edge.

Will update again when i receive back my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sai444:
Have to agree the device itself is a masterpiece but the customer service is pathetic and the guys so called technicians are not having any idea about the device( at least in Visakhapatnam) .I went to service center for display issue ( wrong colours and yellow whites and also during AOD the entire screen is lightening up) it took them 1 hour to understand even when comparing with another s7 edge and now they are saying it will take 25-30 days minimum for the screen replacement and I have to leave the device with them for the entire period.

Working method??
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Farani94:
Do we need to flash dm veirty patch or anything? Or just simply use cf autoroot and then flash twrp to again root access?

What are the best usage of rooting in s7 edge?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Farani94:
I wanna try google assistant , xposed firmware , wiper and iFont for me (never mess with clocking).

Anyway i tried rooting with auto CF for 935F and twrp 3.0.02 For the first time rootchecker came with rooted as result but after i installed superSu stable build , it stated with " proper root is not installed" and " superSu binary update" and all. I searched through forums , saw youtube videos , read alot , tried flashing cf auto root and then twrp 5 times (with auto reboot checked and unchecked alternatively) but no luck .

Twrp recovery gets flashed via odin , even superSu is flashed but says no root.

I tried flashing a kernel to test if devices is rooted but got stuck in bootloop and then had to flash stock firmware.

I am hundred percent sure i did not make any mistake in the procedure , i double triple checked every step in rooting , but end result is same for all.

Tried using older versions of odin , twrp and cf root for 935f but no luck.

Can anyone help me with that? Or with any other method to root our exynos s7 edge?

Whether here or on my personal whatsapp chat?

Pleasee..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] rajat_delhi:
Install twrp and then flash a custom pre-rooted ROM like hydra or superman ROM and see if it works.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] :
yes no need to install cf root.. root is very easy these days.. if you going to use custom rom just flash TWRP and then install the custom rom.. almost all custom roms are pre rooted

HOLY CRAP! Just after a SINGLE DAY of owning, the screen has a lot of minor scratches which are easily visible when light flashes on it. One major kind of (can feel it). I'm seriously disappointed!

I'm glad I didn't pay more than just 28500 for this piece of crap.

I used my Redmi Note 3 without a glass for a month and it doesn't have a single scratch. And that too, it wasn't baby cared like this S7E.

:(

Should've ordered the protector earlier :|

But.. Really? Such cheap quality glass?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] :
i dont think its cheap bro. its gorilla glass 4 isnt it ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sandeep121sp121:
Gorila glass 4 is like piece of ****.. scrathes all over even with normal usages. I never put a hanky in the pocket where my phone is.but still this happen to me .

I search various forums and youtube video regarding how to remove scratches ..

Oleophobic coating is the solution. Toothpaste baking soda ..etc are the option. But none work for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Farani94:
Finally done with successful rooting , problem was there with twrp version number , inwas trying latest build number , then i tried one older build and it worked.

Installed iFont and xposed modules.

Well let me share with you people one experience which might be good for people also thinking about rooting or no rooting.

The one obvious benefit i experienced is about battery life , it was good , usuakly 16-18hrs of usuage with hundred percent charge with 4-5hrs sot , but my main problem was standby drain which was too much , 8,9 % drain in 6hours at night , after using forceddoze and setting it up according to my need , i got 4 percent of drain in last 10hour 20 mins while wifi and notification was on.

This is actually far better than any other phone i owned (except for iPhones , their standby is great too). Even since last 30mins i am using this phone and lost 3 % of battery (even while typing this post on the phone).

So if ppl are confused why to root their phone , i would say to achieve great standby battery life they should root.

Thank you so much everyone for the helpl and advices :)
