Hello guys. I am having an unusual issue. When my phone rings in my pockets, many a times the call gets received while trying the remove the phone out lf my pocket. Calls which i dont intend to answer get answered or sometimes get disconnected. Is anyone else having the same issue ? Any solution?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] docc:
Happens to me too. It's because of the edge display. I don't think anything can be done about it.

Is it possible to save whatsapp incoming media directly on the memory card instead of the internal memory ? if YES can sumone pls guide me the same ty
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] clavicle:
Have you guys tried option in Settings>Display>Keep Screen Turned off ?

Perhaps this option should address your issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] swiftfury:
That's not gonna help, screen is going to turn on if a call comes in regardless of that option being on or off.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] docc:
Found the solution. Turn off single tap mode under accessibility in settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Chirag22ster:
I had already put it off. But didnt work for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dj_richard05:
Guys can anyone please recommend me a good screen protector. I just purchased my s7 edge yesterday. Was using the gadget shieldz on my note7 earlier which was very tacky and rubbery but that really covered up both the from and back. Any screen guard (film or tempered) will do. Really appreciate your help.

Armorsuit

http://www.amazon.in/gp/aw/d/B01ACX...=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=armorsuit+s7+edge

If you follow the instructions in their website ti the letter this is the best one I have found, installation is a bit hard.

On a side note, did you return your note 7 because of the recall?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bala_gamer:
went to Samsung main Service center in Chennai yesterday to check water resistance of my s7 edge, also asked them to remove some dust on the top, to my surprise the sc guy was totally nice and offered me to replace the front lcd , i simply accepted the offer. They loaned me an s5 till my device is ready ,within 4 hours got a message saying my device is ready, yet another sweet surprise when i saw the device was it was looking brand new(i had a dent on the bottom right of metal rim due to a drop), even suspected that they gave me some other device, later the sc guy explained that the front glass panel comes with the complete body of the device (includes metal rim and all the front facing parts like speaker grill and finger sensor button). Now my device is looking brand new since i had a small scratch on home button ,2 scratches on screen (yes i use it without any protection :P ) and a small dent on the bottom metal , everything is now gone with the all new body, great job samsung, you owned one loyal customer here :) :)

Edit:

they also gave me a report of water resistance which said the device status is good :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] swiftfury:
Yeah that's going to help, although that option is already turned off by default.

---------- Post added at 10:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 AM ----------

Wow that's great, service here in Ahmedabad is horrific from my past experience, not sure if it's changed now because if the note 7 disaster.

But you went in to check the water resistance? Do service centres show that? And they offered to replace the LCD? Sorry I'm just confused cause I don't get the connection between checking water resistance and replacing LCD. But yeah good for you, almost brand new device without any hassles.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dj_richard05:
Is a wet application like the Gadget sheildz?

P.S. - Just packed the Note7 for return. My friend goes to Dubai soon and will return it. Waiting for the Note8 now.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] swiftfury:
Yeah, wet application.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bala_gamer:
Yea service center show you the report, they have a separate software and a kit for it.

The lcd replacement is done as I requested for cleaning dust in between screen and rim. Don't get it confused with led screen replacement, looks the screen is inside this lcd/metal body for s7e, hence they changed it alone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] prmah:
There are some devices which have problem with graphics, for which Samsung is replacing LCD. I am not sure but some devices brought before june. ( i bought mine in april)

I went to samsung service center because my 2nd sim signal is getting dropped repeatedly ( later on comes out to be a sim card issue), but they offered me to replace the LCD for free.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bala_gamer:
nice, i believe they are changing the lcd as its one single chasis for the device with led screen motherboard and back glass stacked on the back.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] abu46:
[MENTION=228377]Bala[/MENTION] by lcd you mean to say the screen?

I also have some dust creeping between the glass body and metal chassis on my edge 7
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] swiftfury:
Yeah same for me, funny how I never noticed it until now.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bala_gamer:
The SC guys mentions the top glass over the screen as lcd, its molded with the side rim body, so replacing the top glass will eventually replace everything on the front side
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Dpk1:
Lucky you! Well, here at my local Samsung service centre it's entirely the other way round. One has to literally battle it out to have any kind of issue resolved, let alone any thoughtful screen / chassis replacement offers! I had issues with my S7 (flat) screen uniformity and touch for which they took my device in twice for about a week (total) and didn't do any repair/replacements. I tried to escalate the issue via customer care but all the chat (for about 2-3 weeks) didn't do any good either. They kept assuring me each time that my issue will soon be resolved but to no resolution. Finally, I got rid of my S7 and bought myself a new S7 edge with a flawless screen. Had to swap that too with another (DOA) though, for earpiece and camera issues!

Anyway, all the service related issues aside I absolutely adore my new S7 edge!

If you don't mind answering, I have two questions. Do you feel any difference in the screen (brightness or touch sensitivity) compared to the older display? And did you have any issues whatsoever with your previous display? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bala_gamer:
the display is the very same mate, its just the outer lcd that has been changed as per the service center guy, i had no issues with display before and now , it looks gorgeous and same :)

For a second or two saw lte + symbol on status bar today with jio. Have anyone seen it before?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Jey_lo:
hey bala,

I have the same lte+ symbol appearing on my phone for a split second or two on more than 20 occasions approx :angel:.

All with my jio sim and i have not seen this with my airtel 4g. Hope jio is coming up with much higher bandwidth in future :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] abu46:
Hello guys,

I am seeing a uniform gap on the back panel of my 4 day old s7 edge, it where the back glass panel meets the metal rim. Its only on the sides and not at the top or bottom part!! Some dust has also seeped between the opening.

Is this normal or should i be worried of a manufacturing defect??
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bala_gamer:
Goto SC and ask for water resistance report, if the report is good, no need to worry as there is a seal inside the back panel and mobile body
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] toocool7610:
My phone also have dust on the top where glass and rim meet, is changing the screen is permanent solution or temporary?

---------- Post added at 12:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 AM ----------

Bro is changing screen is permanent solution for dust? Because my phone also has dust on top where glass meets rim
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bala_gamer:
If it's cleanable they might clean it without changing I think, else changing the top glass is the solution
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Jey_lo:
Hey bala_gamer,

Can you tell me the location details or contact information of the service center you visited?

I have a problem with my display, so i want it to be checked by a good service center in Chennai.

Thank you in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bala_gamer:

Guys any idea which case is best for our edge ?? Is spigen good ??

Will need to protect edge by accidental touches..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] docc:
I purchased the spigen neo hybrid with a kickstand. It's a good case but it's causing the screen guard to get lifted up at the edges due to the tight fit which is why I had to cut a few mm from the screen guard.

Good case otherwise.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kannanX10:
just now received spigen Liquid case and it seems good so far...............also received gadgetsheildz screen guard but yet to apply it will abt it tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] docc:
Came from a 6s plus.

The S7 edge has made me switch to android which is something I would never have considered. There's far more innovation on android than ios and VR is one of the biggest reasons for someone to switch.

Keep the 6s though if that's an option as you will definitely miss it at times.

Got the Spigen Crystal clear ultra hybrid.

Brilliant as always as I always put this series on every phone.

Since the Wife is also getting the edge, this goes down to her and I've ordered the Crystal Shell which offers even better protection.

---------- Post added at 10:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 PM ----------

Have a 6S Plus and after the disaster that was the S6, thought I was done with Android. But this has redeemed Samsung and android for me.

For a absolutely diehard apple fanboy who religiously buys every iphone day 1, today my first full work day with the edge was amazing. Doze kicked in and the standby drain was miniscule. Super happy. And yeah for the first time since the original Galaxy S, I won't be rooting this one. Kinda felt jealous seeing the Wife get Ota updates while I always had to scamper to sammobile to check if Odin firmware dumps are available. Also have started using the stock browser instead of chrome. It supports ad blockers and have installed adblock fast. No more ads and the stock browser is just so much faster and better than chrome.

Overall super happy. Having bought all Galaxy flagships since the S, I thought I was going to stay with Apple full time after the S6. This device has changed all of that. Finally an android thay can stand up to an iPhone.

PS: still adore my 6S Plus. It's not going anywhere ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] zabaknilesh:
Can you share prices and source of shop for spigen ??
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] twisted_mind:
Tekkitake.com

They are spigen official India partners. So 100% genuine and based out of bangalore.

The ultra hybrid is 999/-

Crsytal Shell is 1799/-

You get a 10% discount if you like them on social media through their website.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] twisted_mind:
No idea but if you're eligible for a free gear vr, it'd be a good idea to stay clear off rooting until you redeem it itself :)

has anyone got the silver titanium variant ? Pre-ordered with a dealer sometime last week. he said he has got black and gold, but not silver and he has no idea when samsung would supply the silver variant.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] zabaknilesh:
Yes I had pre ordered Silver Titanium on 15th and got delivery on 18th from Reliance Digital . Also got 2 % cashback !! .

Currently searching for a good Case which can really prevent accidental touches to edge of phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] aravindun:
Oh ok thanks for confirming. I have enquired with lot of dealers here in Chennai and they said that samsung has not provided the stock yet. To my surprise, I contacted samsung customer care and their reply is that Silver titanium is not launched in India.

This is really surprising and frustrating ...

S/W Update - G935FD

Hi Guys,

Currently have the below on my G935FD device.

Baseband : G935FXXU1APEQ.

Build : MMB29K.G935FXXU1APGF.

I am currently Rootied. My questions are

1- I know there is a newer version, is it recommended to upgrade?

2- Can we root to newer version without losing phone data ?(I used CF autoroot). Any other option to root too works as long as i can keep the data

3- Can you please share the file for the newer version or links for the same?

Since some of you already have upgraded, figured it's safer to check and take suggestions before making changes.

Thanks In advance.

4 months, stock rom, suddenly now my s7 edge battery life is down a lot only 3 hours screen on time till 25 % battery after full charge, earlier it was 5 hours or so

Using jio sim for last 50 days or so, but it happened now only please help guys
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bhuvan9111:
It might happen some times when the reception of sim is not good,then the modem seems to pull a lot of power to attain stable connection. Since jio sim was not available for all until few days back the signal strength was good enough for modem now you know that you might not even get the same speeds as before.

Hi everyone i just purchased s7 edge refurbished for 34k

Im finding good back and front screen guard

Any one can guide me

And how to calm vr set online ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] vicedens2002:
Thx for the info. Anyone has got the Sony sensor?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Dpk1:
Samsung sensor on mine (S7 edge), had sony cam sensor in my S7 (sold). Was happy with previous camera and am very happy to use the current one on my S7 edge! Both work good.

IMO, it is more important to look out for a good lens (that comes paired with the cam sensor in smartphones) with acceptable flare and no corner blurring!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Micheal86:
I`ve the exynos version (G935FD) with rooted stock (latest - BH7) and xposed. Disabled Office apps, and some other apps. Using 4G. Getting 4:30 - 5 hours of SOT.

What should I do to get more SOT ?

Should I use stock (rooted) without xposed or without disabling any apps or something else ?

Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

BTW, which build is best for battery life for G935FD variant ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bhuvan9111:
While using 4g we shouldn't expect great battery life since the power consumption by modem while using 4g takes almost 1.5times that of the wifi and in some cases when you dont have good signal it might increase significantly. Getting 5hrs sot is great when using 4g . i herd my friend say that he got more batterylife using stock rooted than custom rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dj_richard05:
Recently purchased mine as well. Using gadget shieldz to cover the entire phone and it takes a while to get used to it. Have always been a tempered glass user but once ur used to this then its okay.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Micheal86:
Thanks for sharing mate.

Totally agree with you that Stock rooted rom is always good for battery life and as well as stability than custom rom.

But what is your opinion regarding my quarries ?

should we use xposed ? Does debloating help to increase battery life ? If so, then which apps should we debloat ?

And which build (Indian) is best for battery life ? I`m in BH7.

Thank you once again for your sharing.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bhuvan9111:
Samsung seems to send out some new firmware for better performance so dont update to that( reports say it has heating and battery issues )

Using xposed will not cause any damage to battery life until some modules eat up in the background.

Disable every single app in system which you think is not in use for you. Or just flash a debloated rom from s7e roms section.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Micheal86:
Thanks for your quick reply and Info.

BTW, would you mind sharing which build you`re using ? Are you using Stock or Custom rom ? what is your setup ?

Thank you once again mate.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bhuvan9111:
I'm from s4 and nexus 5 community. ( since i am familiar with samsung tw based roms and its development , i can help you )

I will provide a good rom's thread link after once i read and go through the pages.

I prefer to use custom rom with a heavily tweakable kernel ( for core users )

OR

I prefer stock rom with stock kernel ( custom kernel which is almost stock with less bull sh#$ )

Root is must and xposed is secondary.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Micheal86:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] toocool7610:
Thanks, disabled jio sim working fine and much better

However I expect more life as before, is it possible that battery might have weakened in last 30 days?

14 hours after full charge I am at 3.50 hours sot and at 37% battery
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bhuvan9111:
I would say that is good for normal device. I dont think discharging and recharging device will damage the battery ( rapidly ).

3.50hrs and still 37% is better than before right. Next cycle of charge you might see even more improvement.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] toocool7610:
Ok at 18 % battery, sot was 5 hours with 1 hour TalkTime, total time after full charge was 16 hours or so

I think you`re absolutely right regarding signal issue.

Same issue here with jiyo (comparatively Fast battery drain).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sheenswizner:
At the end galaxy s7 edge devices Battery very good !!

I experienced in some places where signals are low and specially hilly areas Battery starts draining 20% more than normal.

Background data should be restricted for more Battery life.

I am using note 7 rom from Jessie which is really gr8.

Hi Guys! Got the S7 Edge yesterday and I am super confused about the screen protector. I've already ordered the Spigen Neo Hybrid case but sill unable to decide on a screen protector since I mostly see negative reviews for top brands.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] anmolbedi:
Get a buff screen guard preferably iKare and use spigen edge case thin. This is the best combination that works.
