Hi guys. Bought my s7 edge yesterday. Waiting for the gear vr code now to come on the my galaxy app.. Can anyone give an estimate on how long would it take to get the coupon and upon ordering how long is it taking nowadays for Samsung to ship it?

BTW got silver titanium colour. It's just superb.

Today ordered a simple screen guard from eBay and also the spigen neo hybrid case from spigen site. Thanks to the member who shared 10% off details On tekkitake website for spigen cases, earlier in this forum. Saved me a few bucks.

Anyone from the second lot of buyers who bought Gear VR for Rs. 3950/- have received complimentary Rs. 3000/- estore coupon please?

I bought vr for 3950 and got it delivered to me two days back, but I haven't got this Rs. 3000 coupon till now. Will it be coming along or is it just a hoax as reported.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] whosaysjohn:
I also haven't received the 3k coupon till now.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] charming.arpit:
First of all dear, its not a hoax. I have already used this voucher to buy a Level U headset from Samsung eStore now. I was one of the lucky fews who got this Rs. 3000 voucher from Samsung.

Rest is your choice. If you wish to believe you can, if you want to consider it as a hoax, then too, its your choice. Good for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] charming.arpit:
I got this offer delivered to me through MyGalaxy App...

Attaching the screenshots for people calling it "Hoax" :D:D:D:D:D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] clavicle:
If you could have replied earlier it would have been easier for all of us. It took four days for you to reply back, so what should others think?

So this offer may be for earlier few lucky ones like you not all [emoji12] .
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] charming.arpit:
Do you think that you are my customer and I am running a business to provide prompt services to you. Am I getting paid to provide quick responses to you? ;)

Haha... Anyways, yes if you do not get this offer soon, then you could consider me a lucky one to have got free voucher of Rs. 3000 by Samsung. And that reduces my effective cost of S7 edge by additional Rs. 3000. Anyways, I am really happy to be one of those lucky ones. :D

I searched almost 10 shops around my house in Bangalore and couldnt find any tempered glass/normal screen protector. Some shops had them but asked me not to buy as it doesn't stick properly and customers complain. Can anybody guide me where can i buy a good screen guard online? What do you guys use?

Any idea what xda stands for?

Guys. How many days exactly did it take for the Gear VR coupon to appear on your My Galaxy app? Please share.

The guy at the store told me it won't take more than 4 days. But it's almost a week and still no luck. Samsung care has no clue either. All they say is wait wait and wait. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] clavicle:
Yes, it usually takes 3-4 days. Have you activated your account or you can call Samsung estore or start a chat session with them from the app only?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kreativegeek:
This is precisely the carefree attitude Samsung follows in India, when I finally got my phone after repairs last month the earpiece issue was spotted at the service center itself, they rectified one issue and other just came up. This is the level of quality check and testing they do after repairs. I actually taunted the service engineer that It was my fault buying high end phone to expect this kind of quality. It was repaired in one day again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] v_square:
I've done everything on the first day itself. I've also had a chat with one of their representatives through the My Galaxy app itself. They have told me to wait for a few days. Let's see. Anyways thanks for the confirmation regarding thr number of days it usually take.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kreativegeek:
If you use the VR headset for beyond 45 min - 1 hour it would definitely cause some disorientation and eye fatigue, it is advisable not to use it when you are tired or about to go to sleep because the amount of light projected on your retina directly also disturbs natural body sleep cycle.

It is difficult to justify Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge's premium tag, I would suggest stop bothering about about what others have to say in order to compare your phone in terms of specs because mid range phone manufacturers have already upped the ante with 6GB RAM and Snapdragon 820 SoC on the way to become a common config.

The quality of AMOLED screen and Night Photography with reliable battery backup (works in my case with S7 Edge), Free Gear VR offer is unbeatable compared to other VR headsets being offered for free with new launches, I am saying this despite facing a harrowing time dealing with Samsung Service Center and giving in my phone for repair in 1.5 months.

Forget about the shipping part. Consider yourself lucky if you get the coupon even. :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] rohanwadhwa:
Why so? Are they not sending the coupon now?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] rohanwadhwa:
Have u tried contacting Samsung about it.. As per the Terms it should be recieved on the 4th day I think.?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] clavicle:
Try to reset the My Galaxy application, delete its cache and data and re-login. The coupon may be regenerated. If your phone was registered during the offer period you will get it. The coupon generation is IMEI dependent. Like in my case entire phone had to be reset due to change of the motherboard, but when I reactivated the My Galaxy application it regenerated the same coupon for me, though I have purchased the Gear VR it still keeps asking me to buy the VR set. So certainly there is some glitch at the level of Samsung servers, but you will get the coupon if it was generated for you.

All the best!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] v_square:
I've done everything possible. It's quite apparent there is an issue on their part. And yes, I've already contacted them but they have no clue either. I had a chat with them first through the My Galaxy app. The guy told me to wait. Interesting part is, I also sent a mail to them to which I haven't received a reply yet. Feels so much ignored after paying such a lofty amount for the phone. If you tag your products with such a premium amount and consider yourself a premium brand, I guess you should also act like one.

I upgraded from S6 Edge only because of battery and VR offer, only to be disappointed like this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Chirag22ster:
Hello everyone. I have noticed some significant distortions at the left lower and right edges on front as well as rear cameras. The faces at the edges look distorted.

Can i get a replacement. I had boight it offline.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] v_square:
After going through the hassle of endless mails and chats, I've finally got the VR coupon. Thanks everyone for their suggestions.

Turn off the hdr mode and see if it makes the difference. It happens at low light due to high iso values
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] rohanwadhwa:
I got the coupon as well today... Maybe Samsung is releasing The coupons in batches.. Today is 5th day after purchase for me. Now hope they ship it quick as well...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] chetan_mohanty:
I got the vr coupon and redeemed it today.It shows will be delivered in 45-60 days.Is it going to come from another galaxy? Lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] toocool7610:
Don't worry I got it in 16 days :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] whosaysjohn:
Around 15-20 days or maybe even earlier
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Chirag22ster:
Please see the attached pics. It does look significant.. Look at the two faces on the right side of the screen.

Also tried different permutations and combinations with hdr on and off. No conclusive evidence if its caused due to hdr mode.Dont see why hdr should cause this problems

Please excuse my funny face. Was trying to angle the selfie cam that way.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] usama492:
Guys my S7 edge has been a little heated up at the back constantly.

The android system uses almost equal or more than the screen uses.

The system is getting some laggy jitters as well, any solution or help?

Because of this i am unable to get the most phenomenal battery life being talked about of the S7. Help is deeply appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] toocool7610:
I am at service centre and unable to recreate the problem, how the hell I make them believe bro....... How to deal with the issue please help me
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] techsammy:
Have anyone received this bundle?

https://support.oculus.com/help/oculus/571522416356428
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] clavicle:
dial *#0*# > click LOW FREQUENCY > press 100 Hz button and you will hear the whizzing sound. It is on 100 Hz only, for appreciating better, click other two frequencies and you will get to notice the defect on 100 Hz.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] toocool7610:
I don't get crackling sound on any frequency bro

Any other way to recreate issue?

Let me be clear again, we get some kind of sound in all frequency right?

I get sound in all 3 but no distortion in any
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] clavicle:
So there might not be problem at all. What issue are you facing anyways, what I am describing here is a constant crackling, or a distorted speaker due to high volume that you notice while listening or taking a call. Are you facing this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Chirag22ster:
Distortion

Here is one more example. Have a look at the shape of the tv on left lower edge.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] toocool7610:
On 2 or 3 calls it happened with me that call started ok but crackling and distortion started and kept getting worse and worse on same call till the level that I was unable to understand other party, and had to disconnect the call.

Other than this there is almost always a very minimal distortion on most calls but it's minute and not easily caught by most people....... But as I have very thin kind of ears I can always listen to it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] clavicle:
In my case the defect was very evident in 100 Hz test and that is why service centre changed two earpieces and motherboard.

If defect is not reproducible so consistently I suggest you desist from any kind of repairs. Frankly speaking, repairing this phone is not that simple. Despite all the tall claims by Samsung you never know what might be left out while sealing it properly. I have seen my phone being subjected to all that torture and I never felt happy about it.

Keep using it and if hardware defect exists, certainly it is going to increase in due course of time and that would be best time to get it repaired, or try to find out a particular phone number or carrier where this defect crops up and then contact service centre.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] techsammy:
That can be taken care of if you angle/position your lens correctly while taking photos, next time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] zeph_syk:
I face the same issue, i here a crackling sound in the highest volume level, so I tune it down a level to get rid of crackling sound.

What surprises me is, that it happens to random calls and somedays it happens to all the calls. I was to be frank furious with the experience, in all my heart and body wanted to compromise the issue and get on with it, but i simply couldn't stand the fact that I paid 57K and I have to compromise on basic functionality.

I went to service centre, showed them my problem thankfully he could hear it as well. They replaced the ear speaker, only to find a couple days later the issue still exists.

I read the forums here, i went back and requested them to replace mother board. Which they humbly obliged with. I have not yet received the phone with mother board replaced, i hope the issue doesn't occur.

But simply put, pathetic experience in a flagship phone!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] clavicle:
Yes, it is related to motherboard only, a little higher voltage creeping to earpiece causing all the distortion. It is there on INS sets, or those assembled in India. So much for "Make in India" campaign. Samsung is too happy to sell the phones, only few will notice and very few complain, so Samsung is all happy. Later they may tweak through software the voltage control and you may have your existing phone's issue completely addressed to.

This certainly has been one crazy experience with so called a Flagship device. Damn you Samsung. :mad:

Hello wveryone. Please suggest some stereo bluetooth headphone which would improve the loudness and bass quality . Tried Jabra tag 2 which worked great with my z1, but the sound quality with s7 edge was poor. Didnt like the headpgone of Samsun level U I am thinking if going for sbh54 from sony. Has anyone tried it?

Its bad to possess such phone with a cracked screen. But anyways, you can slap in a Caseology case which feels premium without making your phone bulkier.

1. Check for manual update after connecting to your WiFi network.

2. Make sure you're using SM-G935F.

3. If everything else fails, you can manually flash the latest firmware from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares

4. Make sure you have the current version after flashing.

Great. I'm still waiting... Got a sms from Samsungestore a couple of days back that your order is packed and ready to be shipped and you will get an email soon with dispatch details... But then nothing after that... .

Got to. Tey the vr at Samsung store for a few minutes... Eagerly waiting for it now....

---------- Post added at 01:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 PM ----------

I agree. Spigen neo hybrid is superb though adds a little bulk...

I already had the best suit front and back protector installed on my s7e and must advise prospective buyers that the spigen neo hybrid is a tight fit and it will start taking the best suit protector out from the sides... I think its only because the best suit scratch guard is quite thick.. I am now thinking of ordering a new front screen protector which should be the normal thin type so it doesn't get disturbed by the spigen neo hybrid.

I switched from the one m7 to s7 edge. I can say that audio quality in s7 won't leave you unsatisfied. It's got a decent audio driver. if you're a bass lover you'll definitely be missing boomsound from the htc.

Adapt sound is a nice feature which would let you find the best output depending on your hearing and your headphones.

Is screen guard available for s7 edge?

Is guard also comes in curved?

What if i use it without scratch guard?
