Prebooked from Flipkart on 10th March, it's been been 2 days since the phone was released and still no update, expected delivery is after 22nd.

I have half a mind to just cancel the order and order from a Local dealer, I think Flipkart doesn't understand what Prebooking means, someone who ordered the phone on 18th and selected one day delivery will get the phone before someone who prebooked on 8 days before.

Sorry guys just wanted to vent, next time I will stick with local samsug dealers rather than deal with Flipkart.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Pat123:
Looking at some comments here, I am happy to know we are getting 935F model and no india-specific 935I bull****. This means the phone we get here in India will be easily rootable and we should see lot of development for this soon :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] twisted_mind:
Agree. I had a similar experience with the 64GB note 5 too ordered online.... If you want stuff Day 1, nothing beats your friendly/unfriendly neighbourhood samsung store....

Third party dealers/stores got shafted last year too with the S6 getting only 32Gb models and the 64GB was easily available only in samsung stores Day 1. I have since stuck to the samsung store since i need to have my toys Day 1 :D

Which color you ordered? There is very less stock in stores right now, if you cancel the order on fk, you will loose gear vr. Wait for some time.

Wow bro, an M7 user is ok with S7 edge audio quality. Nothing more needed for me to migrate s7e.

Long term Sammy user, I am. S2, S3, Note 2, S4, Note 3.

In between I bought M7 and it spoiled my ears with fantastic audio quality. But mine had gaps and the screen I felt small.

Still I kept coming back to HTC for the excellent audio quality : Max, M8, skipped M9.

I do not like very high bass.

Bro which headphone you are using with S7E ?

Also I did some digging, as long as I buy the latest manufactures date piece I shouldn't worry about the cracking earpiece... Guys pls confirm this
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] arundavidberty:
I use meelec a151p 2nd gen with my Sammy. Sounds great.

S7s also got a low audio volume output, so be ready to crank up the volume a bit.

As far as cracking earpiece is concerned I received one of the first batches of pre-ordered s7 edge. I have no such issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sachinaik:
Bro do you think if I use FIIO A1 amplifier it should be louder enough to match the M7 or M8 volume levels ?

Anyone else using any portable amplifier with S7E ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bala_gamer:
Crackling ear piece is rare afaik, never happened to anyone I know off here in my place
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kannanX10:
yesterday i went to buy an S7edge for my friend and at low freq 200hz there was severe crackling issue in that device(Manufactured date 23/05/2016) whereas my unit doesn't have those issues...................so its a random issue some devices are having and some aren't...................better test while purchasing by dialing *#0*# and check on low freq

reg audio quality S7E with exynos variant does sound good and better than the SD820 variant
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sachinaik:
I just went to Samsung showroom, transferred my favourite song and listened to it via my LG Gpro's headphone that I am using with M8.

In the quiet AC environment I had to dial down two steps from max volume to listen and it was loud enough for me. May be in traffic (the headphone has a monster headphones earbuds, which provides good env noise shield) I have to go all the way to make it perfectly loud enough for my ears.

In short I felt audio is loud enough for me.

Awesome to hold, fantastic screen, fantatstic build.

I felt it must be heavier, but it was lighter in hand... Vgood...

I am buying it once I reach Bangalore...

This time, I won't root it... M gonna use it like a normal user...

HTC has left a bad taste in my mouth regarding tooting and upgrading... Firmware and Rom are seperate and match versions and omg...

I know sammy has everything in ROM, but I gonna use it as it is and do updates as and when it comes...

Thanks all...[emoji1]

This is unfortunate ...

How will this low frequency come into picture ?

While speaking with someone will it cause crackling sound ?

Or low frequency bass sounds in music causes it to crackle ? In loudspeaker and headphone ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kannanX10:

Guys what is the best case for S7E ?

Also how many of you are using the phone without screen guard ?

Does it scratch easily ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Harsh:
I am using s7 edge since 1st day of release in India(pre-ordered) without screen guard. No scratches or micro scratches at all. And for case I am using samsung clear case with it.

Hello all. A gentle reminder for the above. Apologize for the repeated requests but i am finding it really difficult. I start my day early by 7 am and reach home only by 11 pm. Finding it difficult to manage the battery. I get an SOT of only 3 to 4 hrs. Need to downgrade. I am a doctor and not much into these tech stuffs. There are members who have pmed me to help, but its just that i am a noob in these tech stuff.

1. Is APC8 firmware available for India? I am unable to find it.

2. If it not available can i flash some other country file without losing warranty?

3. If no then which is the Indian firmware with best battwry life which I can flash without losing warranty? Please provide the link.

Thanks in advance and apologise for the repeat requests.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] anandgiridhar:

Does flashing one's own latest official firmware (from sammobile) for just doing a clean install, does it trip any counters or void warranty as such?

In two months from now it's going to get released. Probably two weaks after announcement.

Converted my UAE S7 edge to INS (Indian) firmware, including changing CSC to INS (by flashing CSC from Indian firmware). Now Samsung Pay app has disappeared, and Samsung Members app shows unsupported device. These were working fine before I flashed Indian rom. Also, earlier, I used to see under About Device - UAE, which when I had flashed only Indian firmware AND not changed CSC, it showed India. Now with changed CSC that country information has altogether vanished. Is this normal?

Hi

need your help and guidance for S7 Edge Duos (G935FD) bought from UAE on how i can update firmware and csc to indian. i am unable to use VOLTE on my phone i think its blocked in UAE

i have just got my Reliance jio Sim and put it in my S7 Edge Duos (G935FD) bought from UAE .

i am unable to use VoLTE. , there is no option for wifi calling .

could you share what CSC u have in your phone?

what can i do to get VoLTE working on my device.

Please help. i need wifi calling /hd calling

oh i forgot to mention only data is working on my device it shows 4G.

voice calls are not working directly.. only way to make voice calls from Jio sim is to install jiojoin app. i have confirmed with jio help desk there is no issue with voice and data services from their end.

so it seems to be a firmware problem.

someone, please share your firmware details and CSC details etc so i can flash the same firmware and fix the issue..

I have used the Matte it was good but the Display quality was terrible when using VR and on day to day use the brightness was affected to.

How does the regular one any Cons??

Suggestions Please

All the sytem apps are enabled now. Its a big list. Dont know how i would share the screenshots. I am not using any package disabler. Even today google services together with android and android os ate up 45% of my battery. I had recently reinstalled the latest firmware throughpc after which i was getting almost 19 hrs battery life with 4 hrs SOT. Now i harfly get 17 hrs with 2.5 hrs sot. Should i do a hard reset?

---------- Post added at 03:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------

I guess New India Assurance would be the best one. You have to buy a policy within 24 hrs of buying a phone so hurry up.

Dont dont dont ever buy Syska. I did that mistake. Theft not cpvered. Accidental breakage not covered. If u accidently leave ur phone in a but or taxi.. not covered.

Check if you have not denied any permissions to the app.

If it doesn't work delete data and storage of Google play services from application manager, reset permissions, wipe cache from the recovery menu, clear android data folder (some files may be lost, not much loss though) from the internal sd card. Your Google sure settings may be reset.

The issue should be resolved.

I have insured from Times Global insurance, it is costly but covers everything.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] swiftfury:
Nope, not at all. Have not used the matte one, but since it's matte, I am guessing it does affect the quality of the screen, I see absolutely no reason to use the matte above the normal one. The normal Armorsuit is truly invisible and doesn't affect the screen quality at all, it is easily the best screen protector available for the S7 Edge considering the ease to apply and the result, plus you can watch the YouTube video on how to apply it , follow it to the letter and you will be set.

Edit

And to answer your question about the VR, any and all screen protectors will affect the quality of viewing VR, there is absolutely no way around it, to view VR in all its glory, the only option currently available is to go naked, but considering that you live in India, and India is geographically a dusty country, expect a lot of unavoidable scratches since Gorilla Glass and dist do not go well togather

---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 PM ----------

I would advise against using the gadgetshieldz, have been using gadgetshieldz for a long time now, used it on my last two phones with no problem but the quality is not up to par with other protectors like Armorsuit, yes you will have to pay premium for the Armorsuit if you order it online, but the phone is worth it. Or if you have a friend or relative come from the US, get the Armorsuit Protector at a low price. I got it for 7 USD.

---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------

Use the case friendly Armorsuit scene protector, hands down the best option right now.

Sorry for the repeat request . I am not much of a techie guy.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] clavicle:
This is the folder structure I am referring to.

To go to recovery menu, switch off your phone.

Press volume up, home and power on button at the same time. But if you are not sure how to proceed further, don't go ahead as it has powerful option to reset your phone too, so be careful. Here lies option-in to wipe cache.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Chirag22ster:
Thanks a lot. It did help reduce google play store drain. However now its Android core apps causing the drain. 24% in 3 hrs with hardly any usage.
