I did twice with in 2 month, luckily i have my mobile insurance. When i bought my mobile i availed the insurance also. 1st time screen replacement cost around 14k, and i got the claim amount 10k, second time i applied the same and waiting for the insurance process to complete.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bindi:
Thanks...I bought mine from a friend and which had no insurance from beginning. Now I'll have to spend nearly 14-15K on this. Although this crack happened while I was using official Samsung flip cover which I thought was sturdy enough, but results said otherwise. Considering this, I will now opt for something else. There are plenty of cases on amazon India which can do good enough job for protecting the back glass, but I couldn't find any reliable case for protecting the front screen. Could anyone here recommend a case for front protection. Looks and weight are not a deal breaker for me anymore! Protection is only thing I need...I definitely understand the level of protection based on fall/surface/height etc, but medium to high protection will do for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] rajaa_sekaran:
Even i am also finding some gud protective case...I heard this one is good... but not sure..

what was cost of insurance and company ??
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] amankapoor4:
I am happy rather then spending 2500 on case, I spent 2800 on insurance, I keep it naked all the time. I have also realized since I keep it naked I am more careful.

Mumbai travel

I am from Mumbai too. I am using a Spigen slim fit back cover. I usually keep it in the trousers pocket and ensure that the screen is always facing my thighs so that any hard impact over the phone is taken by the back cover.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dheerpat:
Any chance of it slipping out of pockets while boarding or alighting from local ? or banging it on the middle pole or doors?

seems slipping it in the bag is the best option when commuting on job. btw do you get those envious stares:cyclops: from commuters. i remember how people used to enquire regarding my OPX.(believe one of them.flicked it later though:rolleyes:and how it helds in mumbai rains:laugh: have ordered a clearview case off ebay lets c how it holds.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] v_square:
Broke the screen within a week I bought this device. I paid 13.5k and got it repaired at the service center. Actually I insured every device before this one, but none of them shattered or got damaged. Bad luck this time.

Anyways, for the protection I purchased spigen rugged armour and it offers enough protection for the back as well as the front, while also being super slim and light. Although I'm running naked for the past 2 months and I'm not going back to a case again. I kinda like it this way. Each to his own I guess. :laugh:

I bought the device during December and the Rs 950 screen replacement offer was going on that time. Will i get a screen replacement for rs 950 by showing the Bill or is there any other procedure?

You get it by default. You don't have to show any proof.. But carry your bill, just in case..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] :
No issues here. Its loud enough.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bindi:
Brave man...Like I said, I cracked the screen even with a tempered glass and Samsung clear view Flip cover. Keeping it case-less is something I wouldn't try now. I have tried many cases for this but never found any which has an edge on front side to protect front screen if dropped face down.

Guys can u help me out with an issue with firmware?

Did anyone else notice samsung member app and samsung pay app pre installed after nougat update?

I notice both apps preinstalled in my phone after nougat update and even upday briefing app instead of flipboard.

I am worried because on BTU firmware those apps and upday are preinstalled and i had triedd BTU firmware for nougat beta and since then everything screwed , earlier i used to get volte and LTE on marshmallow then i tried BTU for nougat beta and no volte anymore only 4g. Ever since official nougat released for indIa , i tried flashing INS nougat via odin , it worked , it shows everything correctly in samsung phone info app but preinstalled with BTU bloatware.

I tried reflashing older versions of indian firmware , as old as May 2016 build but all builds have samsung member and samung pay app now preinstalled and same jio not working.

I even did odin nand erase all but no luck..

Can any one guide me how can i delete remaining btu files in my phone and make volte work again on my phone with no samsung pay? I already did hundreds of factory resets , wipe caches and all.

I hope someone guides me though this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
Your issue seems to be really unique. Flash your phone through smart switch recovery option. S Pay and S Members are now standard to the India N firmware aswell
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Farani94:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] anshulajain:
Maybe a factory reset would help. I am using stock Nougat (unrooted) usually get ~4 hours SOT, 14+ hours since last charge w/ 47% battery remaining. This is when the display is in FHD and not QHD mode. Hope that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] deathfrag:
Am I the only one with s7 edge who hasn't received the Nougat OTA update in India? Or there are sad people like me who don't want to root/flash & are still waiting for the official update to hit their phone? :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Chirag22ster:
I have done a factory reset. These values are on FHD mode. QHD is even worse.

Open Galaxy App store and search for secure folder. Update the exiting app and post that just set it up with your fingerprint or pattern. The secure folder app would also show up in your app drawer.

Is there any way to get it on our 32GB model??

Hardware is exactly same I guess except storage.. It should be possible!!

Anyone has any ideas??

For sure it does but the effectiveness on the latest INS N rom is less as compared to the Beta1 rom. You could have easily squeezed 1.5-3hrs additional SOT on top of the regular SOT depending on the usage.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gts24:
All,

This phone is perfect...... until depending on LTE...

I'm about to send my Nexus 6p back for a refund. I go to a few sports bars and whatever else around a decent sized metro area with excellent Verizon Wireless coverage. I have unlimited data on Verizon so I don't care about constantly switching over to whatever wireless is available.

Prior to the Nexus 6p I had/have a Samsung Galaxy s4 and it seems to be a coverage king (for a small phone).

Tonight was my breaking point. I did a fresh wipe/install of 6.0.1 build MMB29M based on this thread's data https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=197102 . I then ventured out on the town to see how things would react. The phone absolutely does a better job switching back and forth between wireless and LTE without needing to toggle airplane mode like I had to on MMB29Q .

However, the ultimate test was being in my favorite pub and trying to stream watchespn. This phone just utterly chokes when attempting to do this, hell even browsing the internet is painfully slow at times. I tried 2 additional places where my OLD Samsung Galaxy s4 would just roll through content like nothing, the nexus 6p continued to choke/stutter/stammer blah blah, just horrible.

The ultimate point where I am about 99% sure I'm returning this phone was when I picked up my partner's old iphone 5, fired up watchespn and it began streaming content instantly in fantastic fashion on the same Verizon network.

So to sum it up an iphone 5, or samsung galaxy s4 = perfection on Verizon LTE.... with the Nexus 6p chokes and has horrible signal apparently.

What exactly am I missing?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiquidHonesty:
You're not exactly alone. I switched from AT&T to Verizon last week....same phone, same rom, but different carrier. Even though Verizon has much better coverage where I live (Maui, Hawaii) I get crap service on the my 6P. My wife has far better service and signal strength in her Droid Turbo. Heck, half the time my phone won't even ring... Just pops up and says "missed call".....it's really annoying.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d08speed3:
I'm in SoCal and I'm getting the best LTE I've ever gotten. Other day I got 101MB DL from speed test. I'm pretty happy. I'm on the 2.15 Radio BTW.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaely123:
I remember when I had my S4 and it was fast on Verizon and I do notice that the 6p is slower. Also I wish that we could just stay on band 4 only because sometime I get kicked to band 13 if I download giant files.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gts24:
I really want to understand this as well. I finally pushed down the 2.15 radio via ADB in fastboot.

So now I'm on 6.0.1 build MMB29M with the 2.15 radio.

I will not be able to test the signal issues until I go back to my favorite pub in town tomorrow night.

I agree with your point about band 4, WHY does this phone lock onto XLTE band 4, full strength and then randomly decide to go over to some lesser band while sitting on my desk? Literally don't even move the phone and it bounces around bands like a jack russel fn terrier :eek:.

**Edit, phone has stuck on Band 4 for quite some time now sitting on my desk. Not sure what to attribute it to. (2.15 radio? MMB29M build?)

True test will come tomorrow evening. It'll be make or break, time to figure out if this thing goes back.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsalas187:
Are you guys saying the 2.15 radio is better than the 2.47 radio? I've had pretty good performance with the 2.47 on Verizon, but I'm curious if the 2.15 is better.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeyac02:
Where does it show the radio version?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gts24:
Not a chance I "upgrade" to this release for at least a little while. Sure would be nice to see some traction from google on this first.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsalas187:
Bootloader screen is the easiest way to see it. You will see boot version and radio version.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bouchigo:
It's a security patch, not a bug/issue fix. And yes, we may have to wait until N for the LTE fix, or it may never get fixed.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farfromovin:
So for me 2.15 and 2.47 work the same. All I've ever used is 6.0.1 with both radios. FWIW, the 6p performs just like an iPhone 6s and a Note 5 on VZW at my location.

I work in a very crappy signal area, only VZW gets service, and it's anywhere from 0-2 bars of 1x, 3g, and LTE rotating all day on all VZW phones.

Outside that area, my 6p performs as expected with VZW on the 2.47 radio.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsalas187:
2.47 radio works best for me also!! :good:
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjskalet:
I have been bouncing back and forth between 2.15 and 2.47 and 2.15 is giving me better signal, i am in Richmond, VA and we have xlte and all that jazz and when i get a good connection speeds are phenomenal but i do have a lot of problems with it bouncing back and forth between 3g and 4g which i have never had happen before. on 2.47 i was stuck on 3g for some reason and whenever i reboot i end up on 3g which sucks
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gts24:
For all of those who are running the 2.47 radio. 2 questions

1. What 6.0.1 revision level are you running? As stated in that google problem thread ( https://goo.gl/GROfr2 ), someone mentioned 6.0.1 build MMB29M is working well for them, but that ships with the 2.50 radio which is clearly problematic, so it makes me think I'd be ok to get the current 6.0.1 build and simply run the 2.15 or 2.47 radio.

2. What revision of Google Connectivity Services are you running? ( https://goo.gl/4X6FB4 ) Anecdotal evidence seems to indicate this is also causing issues. Even on the 2.15 radio, I had issues running the latest version. I did the "uninstall updates" and my phone seems to perform better, I'm hoping this isn't a placebo but it is another "fix" mentioned in the google thread: ( https://goo.gl/DbwuUy )
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsalas187:
I'm on the March release of 6.0.1 but I always flash the 2.47 radio after I update. My Google Connectivity Services is C.1.6.7. I'm running a stock rom and Attached are screen shots. Are you doing clean installs or dirty flashing?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gts24:
When I rolled back I wiped everything and did a clean install via ADB. I'm also running the stock ROM. I'd like to stay with the stock OS for at least a little while because it seems solid otherwise.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gts24:
Also, this is my first XLTE capable phone. This phone regardless of radio version installed will not stick to XLTE. Does that make sense? Is that how XLTE works? I'm confused greatly by that, if i have 5 bars of XLTE (verified great signal in LTE discovery) why would it not stay on that?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoff5093:
Same here. I live in New England, and I have the best service (speeds and dBm signal strength) on the 6P than I did on my previous G4, Note 5, Turbo, and more.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gts24:
Well, I'm probably going to try this later today.......

Android N preview has been posted, and it has a new radio of course. radio-angler-angler-03.61.img

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zachmanthewise:
I probably -shouldn't- flash this radio on Marshmellow, right?

Or is that safe? (I'd be willing to try it, the constant 3G/HSPA hang I'm getting on T-Mobile is crazy, especially since I get 4-5 bars of LTE here after a reboot)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gts24:
I can' t vouch for the safety of flashing this radio with Marshmallow as the OS.

Secondly , what radio and OS revision level are you on right now?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zachmanthewise:
I'm on the Feb security update (which I think is 6.0.1_r13), radio 2.50.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gts24:
As others have pointed out in this thread , 2.15 or 2.47 seem to be the consensus pick as the most stable/functional. I would probably start with 2.15 then try 2.47.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gts24:
OK all,

I flashed the 3.61 radio on my current Marshmallow install. Much to my dismay it booted up on 3g..... :rolleyes: , it took about 10-15 seconds and locked onto LTE, then transitioned to XLTE.

I'm going to be out and about around town today, and in a spot where I know I had problems before. I'll report back later.
