[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] meyerweb:
Lot's of excuses and exceptions, huh? (1) Samsung has delivered millions of these devices, and even on the forums it seems to be a definite minority of owners having the problem. (2) Mine was a pre-order and shipped on March 7th, so I doubt it's anything but first batch. (3) It's been two weeks already, and I've used the sd card plenty. I think you're stretching here. (4) Even if correct, that still debunks your argument that all first batch phones have the problem.

I'm sorry you're having the problem, but don't go around making things up and trying to make the problem bigger than it is just because you're mad at Samsung. If you have such a high placed, good friend there, why don't you have him get you a replacement phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Christian99:
I don't fully understand your intervention. If you do not have the problem, I am happy for you. Why even read this post in the beginning? Do a google search and see by yourself. You seem to be working for Samsung. In any event, if my post doesn't touch you, there are undreads of interesting ones you can read about. Have fun.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jrwingate6:
I've personally been running the phone without a SD Card because I have this problem and can reproduce it every time I tap on the back of the phone near the SD Card.

I tried taping it and that fixed it for a few days but it started coming back again. I just gave up on it. If I end up keeping this phone instead of getting the G5 or the HTC 10 then I'll just do a warranty exchange through T-Mobile after I know the problem has definitely been fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Christian99:
Thanks. The other guy is a service provider. Of course. Yes the phone have this problem. Not all, but a lot. I do have a friend with a high level position at samsung Canada and he did told me that there is an issue they are aware of and that it's being fixed in the "next" batch.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Roque13:
If you go to Samsung support you will see the amount of people with this issue. I've personally exchanged my phone 3 times within my 14 days, and all 3 had the same issue. I also tried 5 different sd cards in all of those and same thing happened with all of them. I'm on my 4th S7E and it also has the SD idssue. You can go to Androidcentral.com and see the amount of people having the same issue. You can google it and see the people having the issue. I've worked in the wireless industry and still have family that does, and they are seeing people daily come back with this issue. So this is NOT an isolated problem and is significantly more widespread than you think.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Christian99:
He is a service provider.. No need to respond to him
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] meyerweb:
Me working for Samsung? LOL

I could ask why you're so intent on bashing Samsung, and trying to prove that this problem affects all "first batch" phones, when it clearly doesn't. Based on forum posts, it's clearly only affecting a relatively small number of people here. You undermine your position when you so obviously exaggerate the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Roque13:
It's not just a small number of people. Google.com is your friend. And Facebook and Androidcentral.com and people on here and twitter, so it's not just a few people.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Jomari29:
I've dealt with these kind of kids in CoD, the usual "my uncle works for microsoft/sony" crap, or "I will get my friends to report you"
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] meyerweb:
LOL. It's the same people posting on all those sites. And compared to the number of people here who aren't complaining about the problem, those that are is a small number. Samsung has shipped millions of these phones. If it were a major problem, it would be all over the blog sites, and probably even the mainstream press.

But whatever. Indulge your fantasy if it makes you feel better.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] joyousfrank:
Maybe not related, but I had a Moto X Play before the S7 Edge. I found that the X Play every once in a while would stop reading the SD card, this usually happened while listenning to music so, music player would just stop playing with "unable to read file location" message. Of course this affected every content of the SD card because after this error, I just couldn't access any media files (Gallery, Camera not taking pictures, Browser, etc).

Now, I've had the S7 edge for a few days and the only problem so far is the SD notification on every boot. (Not a problem for me)

¿May be MM fault after all?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Hoggles:
I've had several random SD notifications. One day it happened like 4-5 times in the span of an hour.

Haven't had a random one in a few days now. Just the standard one on a reboot. I have had my S7e since 2/29.

Not really an issue for me...but it is a real issue for sure. Who knows how widespread, but something is going on either with the tray or a software bug.

One reason I'm not in the least concerned, is that I'm on T-Mobile's Jump on Demand. I think I'll try out the HTC 10 in a few months, then move onto the Note 6 in the fall.

For people who will have the S7 for several years... Yeah, I'd want this resolved, for sure. Maybe a tray replacement for those most affected.

23 March 2016 Vietnam. With no SD issues.

SD sometimes drops w/o warning ... files just not available ... once have had filesystem corruption ... have warranty replacement waiting for me at home to switch to (AT&T was super nice about exchanging, over chat).

addendum: replacement phone arrived and moved onto. build date is 2016.03.12, also built in Korea. Almost a month later than my initial device. SD card moved over w/o issue or reformatting/reloading. Number of apps picked up their directory on the SD as-if it were the initial device (such as Locus Pro which had 10Gb of map data, so that's nice). Now to see if I got all the base settings correct.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Christian99:
Notification on reboot is normal and not a problem. Thank you very much for posting. I want all people who sees the post to provide the information if they want. As of now, I had 8 people all with Vietnam, a week or so in between and only 4 have an issue. Which is not a lot if we take into consideration that most people who don't have this problem will not even come across this tread.

I have the issue once in a while, but when I listen to music and look at pictures at the same time all from SD card, it gets really crazy. Almost not utilisable. If some comments are right (bad tray/connection with SD), I could see this happening when listening to music full volume (vibration maybe in the tray). Some people told me to stick a piece of tape on the SD Card to ensure connection are tighter. I will try. And will also get a new tray for Samsung, although this could be the internal system where the tray goes in which is not compression enough the SD toward the connectors.

notifications about every hour or so.. i get it when i hard reset, i get it when i wake up, i get it when the phone's been idle for a few hours. i get it all. the. time. oh i just got one now. *swipes* i've looked into trying to make the notification stop appearing but that doesn't apply to this. tried different sd cards and no cards too, still get the notification. i don't put anything to my card other than photos, which because it's constantly being unmounted and mounted according to the phone, is constantly moving my photos around in their date of capture. according to the phone, i took a few thousand pictures with obvious dates shown on them, all on april 17. -_-.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Christian99:
Go change your phone. It's a small number but it's a defect. When you restart it's normal. If you swipe it out and it comes back alone it means that for a second or not even your card was disconnected and reconnect. This default will be more and more frequent even on devices that are not currently affected (cold, sun, etc). Trust me I have passed 3 weeks on the phone with samsung who ended up sending me a new device. This device is ok for now but I would really advise every body NOT to play with the tray (out /in) at all. This will create even more the defect quickly. I bet you that ALL devices will have this problem within a year max.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] FalconFX:
Im pretty sure its not the entire tray is moving since it fits very snug in the phone, its probably the sd card moving inside the tray, mb you should try and tape it using some thin tape to the tray, mb that will help.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Christian99:
Yes some people on the net were able to fix with tape. Approximately half of them did. For the other half it did not fix the issue. A piece of tape is a temporary fix for a hardware issue. The tape could stay stuck or melt in there, thus ruining your warranty. It's not normal to have a 900$ phone and have to tape it. But yes, temporary fix. If you can, exchange the phone asap instead.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sultanpprshkr:
let me try the tape method. i know that's not how it *should* be, but i don't feel like going to the store to get a new one. i also dropped the phone and cracked a tiny portion of the screen on the lower part, they'll just blame that on me anyhow. i can get a new phone every 6 months anyhow, and in 6-7 months, we'll see if this is still around or if a new note edge will come around.

ps, i'm a totes samsung fanboy, been one since the Vibrant, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] FalconFX:
Its definition not the best solution, but he doesn't seem to want to go and replace it, so i suggested the next best thing, DIY.

Officially Hardware Issue.

I sent my S7 to a Samsung authorized service repair center. Verdict: They need to replace the motherboard. Its officially an hardware issue, thus not affecting all devices. The ones that are affected needs replacement/or motherboard replacement. When they replace the motherboard, they have (no choice) to also replace the screen. Cost CDN 690$.

I wounder why Samsung just don't send me a new phone as their cost for a new device is around 240$ USD.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] 3waygeek:
I bought the PDAir flip case for the Kaiser last week and got it in yesterday's mail. You can order it from PDAir direct -- there's also a guy on eBay selling them for $18.99.

The case is a very snug fit -- the keyboard slides into a pouch formed by the back of the case and a clear plastic keyboard cover. This works much better than the clear plastic & velcro keyboard cover their Wizard case used -- the Wizard case was pretty loose, and the Velcro doesn't hold up to repeated opening/closing.

The case cutouts (for buttons, USB jack, etc) match up pretty well once you get the Kaiser firmly seated -- that can take a bit of work since the case is so snug. These cutouts make the buttons easy to find -- especially the power button.

The only real problem with this case, IMHO, is the lack of microSD card storage -- previous PDAir cases have had at least one card storage pocket. Overall I'd give this case an 8.5 out of 10.

PDA Air book type case

Bought this on ebay $15 + postage another $15 to GB :(

I don't use belt clips, it is a little thick and tight, may wear in. I seem to buy a whole shed load of accessories initially, see what I like, and then re-cycle the rest back onto ebay.

So far i quite like it if I'm walking about, but in the office, I tend to take it out and put it my shirt pocket (why do so many work shirts these days are less a pocket!!?)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] susuwatari:
I have both PDAir and Krusell case and to be frank, I like the PDAir more. However, beware of the screwed in belt clip as it might get loosen after some time, I dropped mine once but luckily on the carpet.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] RemE:
I Agree that the PDAir is a pretty good case, the belt clip post is the only part I changed. For a case that can stay on and be fully functional, and clip into a car mount, this one is hard to beat.

Here's my review and pics of my "improvements";

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1648005&postcount=136

I have since switched to the Pocket Solutions "Signature Series" flip as it's the best of all worlds for me as I can use the phone as a touch screen type and then very easily slip the phone out of the case to use the keyboard and/or show off the phone with no case. It really has the best swivel post I've ever seen;

[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VinnyofLegend:
Is there a newer version of the APK?

"Purchasing" the app on Amazon, installing the Amazon Appstore or Amazon Underground + modifying device model to AFTB and manufacturer to Amazon seems to pass most of the checks but then launching the application goes to a screen with the Playstation Vue logo and a message saying to please update to the latest version of the app (it also says the version installed is 2.0.0).

Unfortunately the Amazon Appstore doesn't recognize the combined installation+purchase to offer an update or push of the latest. This seems to require somehow convincing the Amazon website you actually have a Fire device registered as one of devices for the App store.

However, since the 2016-03-13 build, my proximity sensor has been 'glitching' and not reporting any change.

Whenever I call anybody, the screen automatically blanks out and stays black until the call ends from the other end.

Some change from the build made the proximity sensor reporting false values.

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajdonovan:
I've looked around and can't find my exact issue, so I'm hoping I can get some help if I make a new post!

I unlocked my bootloader through HTC, rooted my device, and then was trying to install Cyanogenmod 13 on it. I have TWRP 3.0.0-0 since the latest one didn't work. It kept giving me errors, and too late, I figured out it was because I still had Android 5.1 on it. I found this out however after I deleted everything except TWRP from the phone. Now that's the only folder that shows up if I plug it into my computer. I do have an SD card, and the files on there seem to be safe. I'm also using a Mac. I presume I need to reflash the stock OS on it, am I correct? If so, how?? I found the RUU file on HTC's website, but I'm not sure how to manually flash it onto the phone, and the files are all .exe, which of course don't run on Mac. I do have the free trial of Crossover, is that compatible?

EDIT: I'm on the AT&T US version if that matters.

I hope this all makes sense haha. Thanks for any help!

When i plug in phone to pc in download mode Lg up tool shows device model as unknown. And says please select a device model which theres no butons to do that.

Lg flash tool 2014 won't flash 20i kdz it errors out connection upon extracting kdz software at around 80% Even leting it sit don't work like people say to do

Ive tried 10n kdz also that says software upgrade in progress fails at 9% then says unplug phone from pc and retry.

There is no Com in the download mode screen at any point.

All i did by mistake was fastboot oem relock bootloader Whilw rooted and on micromods Rom ONLY cause i wasnt sure if that' was the cause of the failed Flash tool errors. Now i have secure boot error 1003. Now I knew that was a No no with Nexus phones but i suspected Lg kdz over writes all that stuff.

Theres gotta be a way with one of the 2 tools Or a way to adb re unlock the bootloader and maybe salvage my Underlying twrp recovery and O.S
