I have also ordered galaxy s7 edge from shabbeerhf1

Can you guys confirm if it is the exynos variant and the dual sim variant is only available for exynos processor?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kuduku:
I had purchased after it was confirmed its Exynos

All dual SIM are exynos only , no Snapdragon dual SIM exist
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] fundoozzz:
So does that mean Indian firmware can be flashed on it easily? The only requirement is that it should be an exynos device?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kuduku:
Yes

any exynos can be made Indian official OTA receiving after Indian odin
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajeev:
Me also bought from shabeerf. G935FD. When i receive its does not have voLTE and having some other regions firmware. I simply flash Indian firmware and everything is ok.. Its a old story between.. Shabeerff is really nice seller

If in warrant isn't that 999/ or that offer has come recently?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajeev:
That offer is for some other models i think. Not sure
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kuduku:
Its guaranteed available for s7 and edge but the only question is that its a new offer and whats the mobile purchase date
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Dragneel96:
It was available after note 7 recall

After note 7 recall, samsung gave an offer of one time screen replacement. In Oct and November.

One time screen replacement promotional offer was also present at the time of release i.e., March and April.

Also samsung has released this offer again this Diwali (Never mind offer)

I rooted my phone and lost warranty. When my phone's screen got cracked I visited more than 4 service centres and they told that due to rooting they will charge full amout. That is 15000 for screen, 1800 for battery and 800 for the adhesive which holds the back glass intact.

Fortunately I filed a consumer case against samsung and Samsung did all the repairs for free even though my device was rooted. Because when I purchased there was one time screen replacement offer( which doesnt come under warranty terms and conditions). I used this loophole and gained advantage in arguements with samsung.

Also, if u buy a phone from other country(imported), Do not insert sim card immediately. Flash official Indian firmware via odin and then insert a sim card. Now your Indian warranty gets activated (if u dont do this, imported country warranty gets activated)

Also note that your warranty starts the day you insert your sim card. This can be useful in few cases like

1. Waiting for an appropriate promotional offer by samsung.

(Activation of phones in different months gets you different offers. In case of S7 edge - Gear VR in March16 and Oct 2016.

One time screen replacement in March16,April16,Oct16,Nov16,Oct17)

2. Delaying warranty period ( if u insert sim after 6 months u get extra 6 months warranty. Some issues start appearing after 1 year :p )

Using wifi/Jio4Gvoice only without inserting simcard gets you lifelong warranty lol (though its impractical) :D

Guys got mine a month ago, when I compare headphone out the volume is at least 25% lesser than bluetooth out esp with bass.Could it be some issue with hardware or is it the same with every one?

Tried across Spotify,Saavn,Poweramp pro all have same results with 3 switched headphones ,disabled play audio and adapt sound as well..but still it is not close..

P.S: Checked and saw the same behavior on S4 as well, blue-tooth audio out is way more punchier than headphone out. Noticed it more here due to the weird wired headphones that dont fit in the ears itself and i keep hearing outside noise
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] toocool7610:
Now today both touch keys behaved erratically, back key was not responding, same for left side touch key as well

But now again working fine,.............. What the hell is the problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Mandeep148:
thanks for reply,

can you do me a favour, can you click a pic of screen? i actually want shinny look exactly like glass. i just want to check hows the product look like, i would really thankful to you.

I ordered gadgetshieldz one.

I hope this one will good.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Mandeep148:
Bro. Should i use shampoo which is transparent or any like dove white one(shampoo pouch) ?

Colour matters? And how much amount?(1 or 2 spoon)

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] badelemental:
Use very mild shampoo like baby shampoo and for a small bowl of water a little over half spoon is enough.

Initially you will get some rainbow effect but it will dissappear in 48 hrs. To make the edges stick fast use a hair dryer.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] techsammy:
Cool idea. I will definitely try it out.

But it needs to be remembered that the shampoo should be taken in tiny amount otherwise it will slide more and won't stick effectively.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] badelemental:
Exactly. And I am quite happy with Gadgetshieldz and Ringke Fusion combo.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bala_gamer:
I'm using the device with nilkin frosted back case and no screen guard, I think almost all the tempered glass will come off soon cos of the curved design.

Morever s7 users with isocell camera sensor, do you have pink noise around the corners when taking pics in dark environment
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kannanX10:
no...........i dont have any pink noise in my low light pics with my Isocell S7edge..................if possible upload some pics
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Mandeep148:
Do you mean grey back ground at night low light.

Its normal. Don't worry chill.

Thanks for reply bro.

Is shampoo colour matters? I use dove shampoo its white.

Aur any shampoo?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] badelemental:
I don't think color matters as you are going to use very less quantity and even if some water remains it will evaporate in approx 2 or 3 days. But make sure not to put much amount.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bala_gamer:
Not grey, pinkish tone on image corners post taking the image
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Mandeep148:
oh, you mean in picture its visible too?

then might be defective piece..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bala_gamer:
Yours an isocell camera? Can you post some low light pics?

See the sample image below
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Mandeep148:
where is pink?

i think thats just sky by camera 1.7 appurture itself, everything seems normal.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kannanX10:
i don't find any abnormality in your image.................usually sony IMX260 produces yellowish image while samsung Isocell produces slightly pinkish image in extreme low light situations in S7/edge...................so nothing to bother and in your image on right side corner i can see some light reflections nothing more than that........

usually lens issues will generate some sort of purple/pink haze around light source and in corners......
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bala_gamer:
Good to hear there is no problem, still viewfinder shows the pink noise on edges, but it drastically reduces when hdr is on and so is in the pics.

Probably got a good lead on this below

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kannanX10:
In S6/edge Isocell(S5K2P2,samsung was using it since S5) had issues and sony IMX240 was the clear winner but with S7/edge both sensors are equally good while samsung has a slight advantage............if possible post a screenshot of your Phone/Cam firmware(dial *#34971539#)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Dpk1:
Unfortunately, like you I do see a lot of pink noise in all four corners, more so in the right upper part(just where night sky starts) and even in the left lower corner of the picture. To see that the screen brightness should of course be at least 50% (or more). I have used S6 with isocell sensor for about 7 months, so I am pretty much sensitive to this but that's how the isocell sensor behaves in the dark. This is a non-issue with the sony sensor as the colour noise / tint produced is less apreciable in the darkest scenes.

You can have a look at some full resolution low light pics shot with my S7 (sony sensor), mostly in auto mode.

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B7n-BgxJio5vRDNWVnl1Z3dwM28

P.S - Having said that I dont think it is really an issue as all sensors / cameras do have some or other tints in extreme dark conditions. Only few tints are more appreciable than others. So, enjoy your awesome camera!

Hey buddy. Good to see you using the same phone again.

What setup are you running on your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bala_gamer:
Complete stock :) no plans for changing anything anytime soon mate.

[MENTION=4656899]Dpk1[/MENTION]

After some extensive testing with camera I can confirm that the pink issue goes to zero if the camera has hdr turned on or if I use pro mode. The problem occurs when there is a brighter object along with dark areas in the image. My intuition is that the auto mode is trying to over compensate the dark area and ends up with pinkish noise.

First pic with auto mode, 2nd pic with pro mode
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Hunkman:
Ok, you are referring to orange peel texture that is visible in all wet install protectors from some extreme angles. Well I have tried other wet protectors too and you will find it worse in other brands of wet screen protectors. YMMV but by far I have seen gadgetshieldz protectors to be the clearest. I will try to post some pictures. The protectors are very clear on the back, screen of course with some very slight texture being visible on certain extreme angles.

Still I am not on latest update which is 539 mb

Should I update or not how is the battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Farani94:
My s7 edge is now 25month old.

Phone started showing its age.

Its getting slow and hanging more often now but more frustrating affair is with battery.

Battery life has become **** and need to charge it twice or sometimes thrice in a day.

If battery is 10-12% remaining, if i open facebook or any other app, suddenly it will come down to 1-2% and then switch off.

Probably i used my phone extensively and as a result battery is gone now.

I enquired in samsung service center and the guy tells me that battery isnt available and i have to pay 50% upfront and they will order and get the battery in 12-15 days and i will have to give my phone for at least 2 days for replacement and they are quoting me 2400rs and they told me that there will be no warranty for battery nor they take any claim for any damage.

While i know a guy in my town who is expert is high end phone repairing and he tells me that he can get me original battery for 1800rs and can install it in my phone for 400rs and total 2200rs but he also wont take any warranty or guarantee and he has battery available.

I m tempted to change my phone once note 9 arrives as s9 didnt appeal me much, any suggestions regarding my issue?

Where should i do it and will battery replacement be effective?

---------- Post added at 01:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 PM ----------

Just one clarification i got from that guy, this battery is not oem samsung battery but some third party after market battery with same capacity and he assures better battery backup. Im confused.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] nvrmndryo:
Well you are not the only one who is facing these kind of issues, but your seems extreme. With latest updates battery and phone's performance is getting worse.

Have you used and monitored your battery with betterbatterystats? So you will know what drains your battery most? If not then that's the first thing you should do.

And about the changing of battery, you should do it in authorised service center only, don't waste money with 3rd party batteries. If it was costing half then it was fine but it's not. In one city there are many service centers, so try different one. And as I told you u can try betterbatterystats, greenify and custom rom for performance and battery improvement. First try these things then opt for battery replacement. Good luck.

I have a 20 month old s7edge and i dont have any issue other than pink lines on the display ? never had these in any phone i previously had .. regarding software its smooth as new .,,i flash every new firmware with odin ..just battery is giving less backup so i turned off aod completely earlier i had 10% battery drain during my sleep at night now after turning off aod i have just 2% battery drain u should try that too. Or may be need to change battery i have used this phone insanely in these 20 months i asked for battery replacement from service and got the same response so im thinking to pass that. Just using in 1080p mode n get sot just around 4-5 hours which is enough cos i m always around my charger . May be will buy s9 plus after a lil price drop or pixel 2 xl.
