I am using it, works flawlessly!

*Takes out phone to pay*

- Sir, Apple Pay/tap is not supported

- Just let me try once and you'll see

.... *APPROVED*

- How did you do that!?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyclops1055:
Why don't you just use the RBC Wallet to Tap and Pay?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyclops1055:
I figured it out, the option only shows when using a lock type, my screen lock type was set to none as I was using a third party app for the lock screen.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] d1egoaz:
There are still lots of payment terminals with no tap/NFC support
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyclops1055:
Well I'm with Scotiabank and I've been using their app to Tap and Pay, I haven't run into a place where it didn't work yet
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] zainmerchant:
Guys, a little help please?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TRoN_1:
So anywhere where tap-n-pay works with credit/debit cards will also work with RBC's wallet on our phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyclops1055:
I'm thinking that it should, but I could be wrong, I use the Scotiabank app and haven't had any issues
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] itzik_man:
Yes, I am using the RBC wallet and the Scotia wallet, so far without any issues. I prefer the RBC as for the fingerprint option (no fingerprint option with Scotia).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TRoN_1:
Cool! So who needs Sampay if other banks are working. Root and Sampay don't go together.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] itzik_man:
I guess Samsung pay in Canada went sour. (smart) Canadian banking institutes found a way to by-pass it and distribute their own pay system (accept CIBC), which is working pretty good.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] d1egoaz:
That's correct if supports tap and pay RBC/Scotia should work.

I've found several places where it won't work, like ATM, Costco, Rogers Arena, Canada Place, some liquor stores, Skytrain compass vendor machine, food trucks...

That being said, there are also many with NFC support.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TRoN_1:
Tap n pay is NFC isn't it?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] crutzulee:
Has anyone found a tap and pay option that works with this phone and the PC MasterCard world elite card?

I haven't rooted this phone because I really would love to use this phone with this function..i have many other cards some of which work with different apps but I really only use this phone card daily..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] orlans21:
I just wish samsung pay were available to all banks already AND that it was available on the gear s3. Canada gets screwed over so much with electronics
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ma678:
I got volte and wifi calling on my s7 edge bought from Samsung Experience Stores after changing CSC code to Fido via the secret code a few pages above.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TRoN_1:
When you activated wifi calling,

1- it re-directed you to fido page

2- you entered your phone number

3- they sent a text with verification code

4- you entered code and filled in 911 info

5- then wifi calling was activated

Did all that occur? When I enter verification code, it says my device(unlocked S7E reset to Fido) is not supported.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
Please note that experience store also sells provider phones.... Unless There was some mixup or refurbished unit, the imei would not be in rogers/Fido database and would be bumped off
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] itzik_man:
We are not screwed with electronics, we are slow, very slow with updates!

Beside that, Samsung pay is about Samsung agreements with Canadian banks, so in this case it is not up to Samsung only. They will love to have a financial holding in every country around the globe AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ma678:
Yes.

It didn't register before I changed my CSC from XAC to FMC.

---------- Post added at 07:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 AM ----------

I bought it brand new and unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TRoN_1:
So, no call to Fido to add IMEI?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ma678:
Not at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TRoN_1:
Well, screw Fido then. Maybe phones that were never locked work with Fido. Mine was locked to Telus, then unlocked and reset to Fido and doesn't work, despite their efforts to fix it by adding IMEI and account/network reset and whatever else they tried.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ma678:
Have you tried to change its CSC to FMC?

Hey guys! Anyone with a Canadian s7 edge manage to install the s8 launcher? I keep getting the the package conflicts with an existing package error.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] oxxshadow:
try clearing TouchWiz launcher app data and then install
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] that be me:
The only way I've found to install these updates is after a factory reset. Clearing app data and the "race to install after a reboot" method din't work for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dmalott8409:
I'm still on APK3 bootloader. I've been using SuperStock v2.4 rom for a couple months I believe. If I want to update to a new custom Nougat rom do i have to flash full stock firmware first or can I get away with just flashing bootloader and modem before flashing a new rom?

Thanks

Mishaal Rahman posted a tutorial on how to get the mobile data toggle back! https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...ttings-tile-toggle-on-samsung-galaxy-devices/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kwarwick:
That process works! In that article they only tell you how to add Mobile Data, but if you also add "Hotspot" the Mobile hotspot quick toggle is restored too.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLoserman:
Oh sweet, I'll try that out too. I think those are the main ones that we're missing.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
It worked for the launcher and weather but not the weather updater or bixby
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] h_zee13:
You mean installing the launcher after a factory reset worked?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
No I mean the method where you disable lockscreen and reboot the phone worked to install the launcher but not bixby.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] canadoc01:
Can anyone help? Am on stock Nougat.

First week or so the battery life was amazing with standby drain less than 1 percent per hour.

Now past week or so it has dropped where it loses 3-4% per hour.

My android system is now my biggest drain. At first it was next to nothing and now it gets over 15% by the time I recharge.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] canadoc01:
Ok tried a bunch of things one of these seems to have worked as now phone is fixing properly again.

I turned off location history. Think this is the big one. Not sure if you can use Google assistant without it on though. Also disabled all the gear VR stuff with a package disabler app
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] iivoodoo:
Don't know if you did this yet but turn off wifi and bluetooth scanning, and limit google syncing in the background. Those two tweaks should also help.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] canadoc01:
Yup been a few days and battery life great again. I can live with out Google assistant as I am fine with the regular Google when holding down the home button. Battery drain down to under 1% /he in stby so no getting 24+ hours use with 6+ hours SOT
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] slightlyevil:
On the SM-G935W8 from Telus running nougat 2QB6 (official) and Google play 7.6.08.N-all [0][PR] 1249245622, under settings->Device certification it says Uncertified.

Never noticed this before. Apparently that part of Google play is purported to be buggy in the sites I've read about it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLoserman:
Just an FYI I was able to get my battery replaced inside the 1 year warranty. I think if it holds less than 80% of its original charge then they replace it. I went to a Samsung Experience Store and they sent it in to get it repaired and it took 6 days.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Florad77:
Hey, I'm looking for an s8 rom port that works on our model. Has anyone found any of them to be working?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] fortesquieu:
Maybe they just reset your phone and send it back to you :D:D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLoserman:
Lol hopefully not ;), I had a problem with one of my capacitive lights and they replaced that as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] slightlyevil:
Ok, I know you've got your thinking caps on...

This week, my S7 Edge (SM-G935W8 running nougat 2QB6) developed a glitch regarding fast charging. When I plug in my phone to charge it says "Cable Charging" but does not fast charge. However, if I go to battery settings prior to plugging it in, it will fast charge.

To recap, plug in phone - Cable charge. Unplug phone, Run battery settings, plug in phone - fast charge. Or if I just bring up battery settings then plug it in - fast charge.

Since I have not changed any settings, I know someone out there has a solution.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] squall458:
Try a factory reset after backup.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ma678:
Mine does the same. I believe we cannot change charging mode when plugging in a cable.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jayzero76:
Quick question have a galaxy s7 edge W8 version. Looking for a stabile version good battery life. Do not feel like charging my phone twice a day anymore
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] slightlyevil:
Your mileage may vary, however my fast charging became increasingly sporadic. After trying to fast charge in safe mode and with the phone turned off, I was of the opinion that it could not be software. I searched online and followed various remedies then I noticed with a magnifier that the pins in my cable were not all at the same level. One pun was higher than the rest. So I bought a new cable and so far so good.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TheIgster:
New update from Rogers today. May 1st security update it seems. Didn't notice anything else new. At least we're still getting security updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] squall458:
I got the update too. Thanks for the heads up! I wonder when 7.1 will be rolling out...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CrEdge:
Unlocked SM-G935W8 - No update. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] that be me:
Got it on Rogers as well. We likely won't see 7.1.1. If we do get a version update, it'll be to a version of Android O.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] slightlyevil:
Anyone on Telus see the update yet?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ma678:
Just got ota on Fido.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] pappcam:
So basically just Rogers/Fido so far. I assume the other carriers won't be far behind.

Any changes besides just a security patch?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CrEdge:
I actually hope that we'll get June's patch instead due to the delay.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] oxxshadow:
I just noticed that they added anti-malware service like on the S8 more bloat lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] slightlyevil:
Has anyone not on Rogers/fido seen the update? Nothing on Telus so far
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] pappcam:
Got it on SaskTel yesterday so I assumed Bell got it as well as those two seem to be one and the same when it comes to updates on the S7 but I checked Sammobile and it looks like Bell didn't get it. I've never seen SaskTel get an update ahead of both Telus and Bell.

Interesting.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] slightlyevil:
According to the Telus Software Update page, they won't be pushing it out until the 19th.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] lgsshedden:
Bell update today OTA
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CrEdge:
And I got it today as well... I suspect my "unlocked" model isn't truly unlocked.

It reset itself when I first inserted my Virgin Mobile SIM, has built-in Virgin apps, asked for an unlock code when switching to Freedom (good thing the Samsung store provided one free on phone call), and always seem to update when the Bell releases their firmware.

How else can I check?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Why are you surprised?

That's normal, they lock to the first sim then you use the unlock code to actually unlock it. Nothing new there.

Sent from my S8+ exynos , S7 Edge exynos or S6
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CrEdge:
I bought it directly from the Samsung Experience store, and they said it was unlocked.

What I want to know now is whether it'll continue getting firmware updates from Bell, now that I've unlocked it to Freedom.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLoserman:
Download Phone info Samsung, then check what your CSC is set as and you'll know who you're getting updates from.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CrEdge:
Says VMC, thanks. I assume there's no easy way to change that other than rooting and/or resetting your device? I'd rather do neither...

Would it be beneficial switching to XAC? I'll get faster updates and no pre-installed carrier bloat right? Or maybe GLW for possible future WiFi calling support?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLoserman:
Don't switch to XAC. That's what I was in before and I always got my updates last, after all the carriers had released their updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CrEdge:
OK thanks. No need to switch then.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] slightlyevil:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLoserman:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TheIgster:
Really surprising they are almost keeping up on security updates. Rogers now on June 1 security patch. Nice.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CrEdge:
Got it here as well. Though I wish they'd stop removing my mobile data/hotspot quick settings tiles.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] pappcam:
Yeah that's somewhat annoying but at least it's an easy fix on a computer.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] canadoc01:

Rooting totally borked all my sensors, had to Odin back to stock. It sucks but I've given up on root for now I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] slayer2333:
Hello folks,

I tried recently to downgrade my S7e from the latest Nougat down to the earlier MM firmware. I purchased my phone in December 2016 and it came with the APK3 6.01. I experienced 2 weird things when trying with Odin:

-Flashing earlier versions of 6.0.1 (e.g. APD3 or APG1) leads to complete (write) operation failed in Odin (only APK3 is flashable);

-Now that i downgraded (to APK3) i get the same issue i had in Nougat, Spotify is now a system app :confused:

Anyone experienced the same issues or am i doing something wrong ? Does it mean that the Nougat update also updated the bootloader to a newer version that is no more compatible with older MM firmware than APK3 ?

Other than that, if it is actually possible to downgrade to earlier version of MM, can anyone let me know what MM version provides the lowest battery drain ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ma678:
Just received OTA BQG4 on Fido this morning.

I just realized by usb port is fried up and i still have warranty till oct22, but samsung is denied service because i bought it from amazon. Any suggestions guys?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] crutzulee:
That sucks about the warranty not being honoured. Luckily this phone has many excellent fast wireless charging options..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ARNOB:
Yeah, that's what I'm using right now. But not having usb access is not just right.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] crutzulee:
Between wireless charging, removable storage that can be read with an adapter and wireless file transfer you really don't need to ever use your usb po........

.....yeah....I'm just grasping at straws to make you feel better about a crappy situation that Samsung has put you in:(...

Have you tried an after market repair shop? Maybe the cost of the repair may not be so onerous...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ARNOB:
I have complained to amazon about this issue. lets see what happens.

Anyone knows about a good place to replace an S7 Edge screen? Vancouver.

I went to Samsung and they told me it'd take 4 weeks, and would cost around $350. I'm looking for alternatives.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mediumsteak:
After the OTA nougat update my reception begun dropping.

I have attempted clearing cache through stock recovery which did not help.

Subsequently I factory reset, still didn't fix the poor reception.

I am now looking at alternatives, including downgrading back to 6.0.1 through Odin.

Anyone have working firmware links for either Marshmallow or Nougat? SamMobile is down for maintenance and Samsung-Firmware.org is downloading at 80kbps with an estimated download time of 5 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] freerider_4life:
I bought a refurb on ebay for that much. That's an insane price for a screen replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] itzik_man:
What do you mean reception: Wi-Fi? Network cellular signal?

Be more specific.

If the problem is your LTE signal, try this:

Go to > Mobile networks > Network mode > GSM only.

Then > Network operators, after it stops running, choose your operator.

Reboot your phone.

Go back to > Network mode, change back to LTE and run again Network operators, then choose again your operator.

There is a 50/50 chance it may fix your problem, before going back to MM.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mediumsteak:
I meant the cellular signal including LTE, HSPA+ as well as Edge would consistently drop, causing missed SMS, failed calls and a virtually unusable device.

It looks like as soon as I downgraded out of Nougat modem the reception issue was immediately resolved. However, now the system wants to auto update back to Nougat.

I was not aware of your trick and shall try it! Greatly appreciate your input!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TheIgster:
Hey [MENTION=3229287]mediumsteak[/MENTION]. You're not the only one with signal issues. I'm suffering the same thing. Missing calls. No notification about calls. person on the other end doesn't even get my vm when calling. I just tried the trick [MENTION=3179165]itzik_man[/MENTION] noted. Hoping it helps. Guess we'll see. No way to be sure unless I get people tell me again they simply can't call me for whatever reason some day.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mediumsteak:
Hey!! I was able to resolve my connectivity issues by downgrading the firmware, the bootloader and the CSC files back to the factory marshmallow APK3 version.

I also tested the BQB6 Nougat, but the reception problems still persisted.

Once on marshmallow, the phone wanted to automatically update back to nougat without a way to manually stop it - I resorted to using Package Disabler Pro to disable the two Software Update packages:

com.sec.android.soagent

com.wssyncmldm

I'm on Rogers by the way, and my Telus buddy does not experience reception problems on Nougat.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jproy12:
Anyone else got an OTA this morning? Or am I late to the show?

Seems to be the BQH1 update
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLoserman:
What carrier?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jproy12:
Bell Mobility

I hope so too, radio has been garage, at the moment can't tell much of a difference, other than the security patch is Aug 1st
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ma678:
I got OTA on Fido this afternoon. No big change was observed so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TheIgster:
Hmmm...Definitely don't want to downgrade here. I'm on Rogers as well. So is my wife and she does not have the reception issues I'm seeing. My issues seem to be completely sporadic though. Sometimes there is an issue, other times not. Her's seems consistent.

Edit: Did the update to the Aug 1st security patch today on Rogers. My signal strength seems to be better in spots it was never good at all. Usually in my condo at my desk I get about a -111. Today I was getting a -91. Back down to about -103 now, but much better. Maybe they addressed signal issues in this update?
