Just got off chat with T-Mobile business, and got 2 UPS return labels ready to go. Confirmed no restocking fees on my phone order, and have until April 10 (phones were delivered Mar 11 and 14).

Hopefully my next weekly bonus eBay bucks is a big one (8 or 10%) and, if so, may jump on the F variant listed there. Or wait for HTC 10 announcement.

Im fine stock, i get to enjoy samsung pay and i can use package disabler pro for bloatware. Plus i hated only having e2gb of storage on note 5.

Honestly, I've found that simply using Mozilla Firefox + UBlock Origins is more than enough for stock unrooted phones. Sure, Firefox isn't as smooth as Chrome, but damn is it nice to visit sites and not see a lick of ads period.

I don't play too many games so in-game ads don't really affect me.

I use adguard on chrome and its perfect. Ill stay like this rather than having nexus phone. Been there.. yeah you can freely root and change rom. You'll get addicted and ended up flashing rom from time to time. This is the best phone right now.

Just dropped off the used to be mine edge at the UPS Store this morning. Ordered a Nexus 6p last night. Psyched!!!

Cannot justify $780 for a locked bootloader and didn't like the edges. Terrible for typing and touch input issues with my palm. That was with the Spigen Rugged Armor case BTW. Oh, and I just loved being redirected to the Playstore when going to any site with a Play store app.

After having root for 6 years, I couldn't stand it with the Edge. Nexus 6p has TONS of support and has a nice big screen which I like coming from a G3. Can't wait to unlock it, root it, and then flash a ROM (debating between Resurrection, Pure Nexus, and Dirty Unicorns) and then putting Xposed on the bad boy and tweaking my UI to my hearts content!

Decided I'm done with carrier phones - returned my S7E and going to pay off my Note 5. At that point, I'll be free to leave T-Mobile postpaid and that $30 Walmart T-Mobile prepaid plan sounds great so I'll probably jump onto that and finally, finally, get a Nexus! Or maybe an unlocked Moto X Pure... hmm....

Done with Samsung, done with carrier-locked phones!

I'm returning my S7 today. :[ I can't give up Titanium Backup and Viper4Android. Those are the two greatest apps on my phone especially Viper with its amazing audio quality which far surpasses Samsung's equalizer!

I wanted to ask... how stingy is T-Mobile with its accessories? I could really use that USB connector that came with the phone lol. I once got a free 16gb SD card from AT&T. XD

I kind of already know the answer, but I just had to ask.

No thanks. S7 Edge is nice but not for me. Would rather be happy than possibly content.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] sputnik767:
Here's my take on this. Yes, root is nice. But what's not nice is trying something on a rooted phone, screwing it up, and needing to reset. I know you can make NAND backups, and restore it back to how it was, but still. Not to mention, every update requires another lengthy process to reroot, reflash all of your addons, etc. Then, if you're using a custom kernel, you have to mess with all the settings again. At this point in my life, I am not in high school or college anymore. I am a busy guy and all I want is a phone that works out of the box. The S7/Edge fits the bill. Minimal bloat out of the box, other than carrier stuff that is easily disabled or uninstalled, and is a very fast and very reliable device. The only real benefit to root for most people is blocking ads via the host file. And yes, that is a big benefit that I would love to use again. Having said that, I couldn't care less whether the bootloader is locked or unlocked. Apple devices have never had unlockable bootloaders, and are the most locked-down devices out there, yet they have been jailbroken since the beginning. I suspect root will be obtained for this device as well, whether it's via a bootloader unlock or not. Until then, I have a device with the best screen, expandable memory, water resistance, the fastest CPU out there, 4 GB of RAM, one of the longest lasting batteries, and the best camera on any phone ever released. No way in hell I'd give all that up for an inferior device such as the Nexus 6P just because of an unlocked bootloader. And say what you will about touchwiz, but this is the most unintrusive and light skin I've ever seen on a Samsung phone, and I've had every one since the S2. I would argue that it's actually better than stock, given all the extra (useful) features that it provides over stock, and virtually no bloat.

I am confident that root will come, at which point I will install an ad blocker and call it a day. And honestly, if any of you guys didn't see the writing on the wall regarding locked bootloaders, I will call you naive. Samsung has been locking bootloaders since at least the S5, this is just the natural progression of things. With the current push towards security and Samsung's foray into corporate devices, this should surprise nobody.

Amen brother amen
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Starzboy77:
S7 Edge is a nice phone, don't get me wrong. Unfortunately, the screen hurt my eyes (yes, tried messing with colors, brightness, etc) and the screen edges would often be in contact with my palm causing the screen to not register any touch input. Even with a case. Really annoying. Also the phone was not 100% buttery smooth which I would expect with its hardware. I also thought the screen looked smaller than my LG G3 due to the edges.

The locked bootloader is a game changer though. With no custom recovery your options are hindered severely. Goodbye NAND. Hello ads. Goodbye custom fonts other than crappy Samsung fonts, hello more ads. Goodbye Viper. Hello Samsung basic equalizer. I can go on and on.

Even if the edge had root and was unlocked I wouldn't be happy. I just wasn't feeling it. Not a fan of Samsung phones and never have been. It was an impulse buy and it just confirmed my preconceived feelings about the device. For those who own one and love it, very happy for you. I should get my 6p tomorrow. Hope you'll be happy for me too! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] sputnik767:
Everybody has their own reasons for liking or not liking a certain device, and nobody should tell you that your reasons are wrong. The thing about most companies, be it Apple, Samsung, whatever, is that they are establishing a brand. Apple is Apple, if you don't like the iPhone 6S, you're not going to like the iPhone 9S, or 15S, because the basic tenets of what the iPhone is aren't going to change. Their design philosophy is what it is. Same for Samsung. If you were never a fan of Samsung, no reason to expect that to change with a new device.

Now, it's not without it's problems, such as the Edge thing that you mentioned. I think Samsung is working on an update to improve palm rejection, so at least that will be fixed. As far as smoothness, if the benchmark is the iPhone, then this device is at least as good. These are now pretty high end computers in your pocket, an occasional stutter when opening an app is expected. From the reviews I read on the 6P, it's not particularly smooth when you tax it, compounded by the 810 thermal throttling issues that are very well known.

Point is, no device is perfect. Pick the one that fits your needs most. If it happens to be the Nexus because of the unlocked bootloader, then I'm certainly happy for you. I've not had good luck with Nexus phones myself, looking at a pretty terrible Nexus 5 right now, sitting on my desk. I always found Samsung's take on Android to be much more reliable and trouble-free. Also, nexus devices tend to be consistently poor with battery life compared to the competition. With my occasional 24 hour shifts, not having to charge the phone is a big plus. And since I doubt that Apple will ever make a phone that I would want to buy, It's pretty much Samsung for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] ledvedder:
I think I'm returning mine. I jumped to it from an S6, and honestly, I don't feel that much of a difference. Plus, it charges much slower than my S6. And with no root, that's a deal breaker. At this point, it's tough to live without Adaway, TB, and Viper.

You might have a defective phone. Mine charges way faster than my S6 Edge.

I traded in my s6 edge plus for the s7 edge. I would probably not have made the trade because of the locked bootloader. But since I have the s7 edge I will stick with it because this is a fantastic phone.

It's funny I find myself angry about not having root and having a locked bootloader. But really have no reasons why I would root at this point lol

Its like I want it because I can't have it. If I'm being honest.

I would try aosp. But just like my g2. I'd end up going back to stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] shook187:
This generation Galaxy series will probably end up be one of the better selling ones in recent years... it's pretty obvious by the amount of sold-out S7 edges across all carriers.

With that said... it's pretty obviously nobody really cares or knows about locked bootloaders. And even people who root only root for the sake of rooting with no real reason behind it except saying that they're rooted.

Personally I'm keeping my phone, with the buy one get one free offers plus all the rebates there's no way in hell I can pass up the opportunity to have this fantastic phone to what would probably amount to be free once I cash in on all the rebates.

This phone is amazing and the 6P pales in comparison

There is no reason for me to return this phone. This maybe the only phone I'll have that is neither rooted or jailbroken. I spent way to much on this to mess with it. Plus all the freebees that Samsung has given away.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] sputnik767:
The last time I tried AOSP was on my GS5. And to be honest, that was the first time I actually got a decent experience out of AOSP, which actually made for a usable device. And even the fingerprint scanner mostly worked. But I went back to stock within a week. Simply put, battery life was far worse, network connection was unstable, and other little issues here and there. But it was mostly the battery life. I would be happy with nothing more than root w/o bootloader unlock and an ad blocker.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] hella356:
Not returning anything, but I'm not going to buy an S7 or S7 Edge unless we get root. There's way too many advantages to having root to allow me to go stock. Perhaps I'll go with a rooted international variant at some point, but - for me - a locked S7 is overall a ~$700 downgrade from my rooted S4.

That was for the 815 'rest of the world' varients only. Did not apply to the US models. T-mobile varients were the only us models with a bl unlock method, and the only us model with active development.

If askdes says bl is locked, the G5 will be in the same boat as the s7. If you want root/roms get an international version. Catch is that you may end up with a SD 652 if rumors are to be believed.

I'm thinking about returning this phone because it has ALOT OF BUGS. **** I've never had a problem with my note 4 or 3 couple weeks after I got it, it was perfecg. This phone the 4G is so slow sometimes and then 5-10 seconds later it changes from 5 minuites to 20 seconds. This phone is seriously ****ed. My batter is horrible. I get 3 to 4hrs screen on time while others are getting 7hrs to 8. I froze a TMobile app two days ago and it deleted all my contacts except for 11. Glad google has a backup of everything. Also the locked bootloader adds to it because we can't optimize this fkn phones. I bet with a custom rom I'll be getting better battery life. What a gdamn shame. I've done 3 factory resets and battery is still bad. My main issues are the LTE is wonky and battery life eats ?. Great looking phone only reason I've kept it this long!

Its the same Lock screen that says Emergency Phone Calls can be made. I would like to know how to disable it.

does this ask for pin code only when u connect with ur exchange server or every time when u switchoff/switch on urpda ?

if it only asks when u hookup to exchange server,delete ur account with exchange server and than again setup but only this time don't set any Pin code.

and if does it every time u switch on ur device,than i'll suggest u make a backup of all ur important data on the phone and clear the phone's memory,it'll clear the Pin code.to clear the phone memory ,consult ur Pda's user's manual.

hope it will help,cheers
