I want to thank the members who responded for all the thoughts and opinions. I also appreciate the comparison and contrast. I might keep the Mophie after all.

I do have issues though.

With case attached I get complaints of not being heard clearly or I'm broken up. Looking at the speaker opening, its a straight well, 3/8 inch deep.

I'm wondering if I beveled this opening, I have to be heard better. Opinions?

An issue with Mophie, Inc. is they don't include any instruction at all. You must go online and even then I had to write them for clarifications.

Another problem comes that the phone charges first and the Mophie might take an additional 1.5 hour or more from discharge. Since I'm a pessimist, I decided that I'll have to go to the trouble of splitting the Mophie case and charging it separately each time, something I don't look forward to doing each time.

I'll be writing Mophie again to ask exactly where the battery is and if I can bevel the speaker well to fix my call clarity issue.

From Mophie support;

To charge your phone with the juice pack, please try the following steps:

1.	When charging your juice pack, be sure to allow the pack to fully charge. You'll know it's fully charged when all 4 LED lights on the back are solid after pressing the button on the rear of the juice pack, directly beside the lights. On average it takes 3-4 hours to completely charge the juice pack, and if your phone is in the juice pack, your phone will charge first, and the juice pack will begin charging after your phone is fully charged. To obtain the best results, leave the juice pack in standby mode while the juice pack is charging.

2.	If you charge the juice pack after depleting the battery, it still may be in "charging mode" when you unplug it from the charger. Make sure the juice pack is in standby mode by ensuring the phone is not receiving a charge, by holding the button on the rear of the juice pack reserve for about 5 seconds. If the LED lights flash from left to right, it is in charging mode. If the lights flash right to left, it is in standby mode. The juice pack should be in standby mode until needed.

3.	Once your phone battery has depleted to about 20%, press the button on the rear of the juice pack for about 5 seconds, until it begins charging your phone.

The memory flex cables are designed so that they can withstand being bent in different angles for extended periods of time. If you do come into issues with your memory flex cable over time we will be able to replace it under our two year warranty.

If you are continuing to have issues charging your phone, please reply to this email to let us know.

So I got a response from Morphie.

"Thanks for reaching out to us Shrekopher. Although wireless charging would work when using the new wireless charge force vent mount, a normal phone without one of our wireless juice pack cases on it won't stay attached to the vent mount as it would be missing the magnets inside the our wireless cases."

Basically the stand uses standard QI, but the case has additional magnets that allow the case to stick to the mount. It may be possible to put magnets on your case of choice but would require modding to get it to work properly I believe.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] ShrekOpher:
So it looks like there is a cheaper solution for the car mount. http://www.droid-life.com/2016/06/06/best-car-mount-galaxy-s7-s7-note-5-spigen/

Picked one up it will be here Thursday I'll let everyone know how it works.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Gurule92:
Looking forward to it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Chris_c81:
Good for mounting only. Suppose benefit of Mophie one is it charges wirelessly too.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] ShrekOpher:
True, But I assume if this can hold the phone up, then the morphie solution may be able to as well. If the Morphie solution wasn't $50 i'd give it a try just to find out.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Gurule92:
Yea its a bit pricey
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] firechicken25:
has anyone found a waterproof battery case? Since it was talked about in here.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] nitrous²:
What? 99$ for 3300mAh? Better get the original Samsung Backpack for the S7 Edge for ~69€ at 3100mAh. I have it. It also has wireless charging and doesn't look as bulky as the Mophie case. In fact, here in Germany, you can get it for ~55€ on Amazon DE.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] firechicken25:
Yeah but my biggest concern is some people have said that it charges the phone real slow through wireless charging. Plus the mophie adds more protection around the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] nitrous²:
I can confirm that. However I find that the remaining charging time calculation is inaccurate. Many times it would show charging times of up to 100 minutes but usually be done with charging to 100% in less than 80 minutes. For half the price it is worth it, though.

EDIT: Also, the phone doesn't fit perfectly enclosed in the Backpack. The surrounding TPU material supposed to cover the metal frame is short by ~1mm. As a result, the buttons don't sit flush in it and are minimally harder to press.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] firechicken25:
Are describing the fitment of the samsung pack?

Well here in the US, the samsung pack is $90, mophie is $100 2yr warranty, zerolemon is about $70 6 month warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Misterjunky:
re: samsung battery pack

I am in USA too, "California"..

I just checked Amazon.com and they have the Samsung Battery Pack for $50 bucks with free shipping.

Here is Amazon's link: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Gala...sr=8-1&keywords=battery+pack+s7+edge++samsung

OR you can get the Zerolemon battery back for $60 with free shipping at Amazon as well.

Good luck,

Hi guys,

My Jasjam (Hermes) has loads of apps installed. (My 2GB SD card is full) - almost every app you can think of!

It has really caused performance issues having so many applications installed, after I restarted it, it would take a few seconds to display programs once Windows button pressed. (same with settings this would take 4 seconds first time after restart)

I tried all reg speed modifications, memmaid/pocket mechanic, many restarts etc, not much difference.

Then I backed it up, (spb backup) done a hard reset, (the phone was then lightning fast without anything installed) restored the backup and now so much faster and more responsive - I dont know why but this worked.

I'm very happy now and thought I would share this with you as I have been searching the internet for the last few weeks for a solution.

It's quite normal - OS have to "read" every icon from every executable or dll. As workaround try make some folders in Windos\menu start like "multimedia", "connectivity" etc. and move some shortcuts into them. U can also use program like Wisbar Advance that can overide start manu and cash icons - in Your case it will eat some serious amount of RAM.

In my case using backup after HR always makes my device slower. It was the same when using Sprite Backup and SBP Backup.

I got this downloading app from the android Play Store a while ago and they have since removed it about 1-1.5 years ago.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Duncan1982:
Really like this case the in hand feel is great and looks good to. Wouldn't say it's the best case out there for extreme protection (this is general protection designer type case.

Can't fault it as it is what it is and overall I like...but if you want that extreme protection this one is not it...

The fit is great in term of alignment of cut outs but in terms of tight fit (it's not ) I think this is due to the plastic bumper rather than metal the.

Overall score 7/10

I found a way to enable wifi Hotspot. I stumbled across a file on the root of my SD card (external) while moving some files around. I decided to try and edit this file and wifi Hotspot works even after a reboot.

Mod Edit - hiding since it doesn't work as a Wifi Hotspot hack. Also revised title to better reflect situation.

Download ES File Explorer (you could use any other file Explorer, but I used ES).

Navigate to the root of the SD card and select the file shown.

Once you tap on it to select it, another prompt come up asking what format to use to open it. I selected text file.

Then it wants an app...

Once open, mine showed "2" so I tapped the edit button to change it.

I deleted the 2 and entered "1" (why not?) lol

Then I tapped the button in the top right corner to save and got the following

After that I went into my Hotspot settings and turned it on.

Grabbed my work phone and connected

Verified on my S7

Then I went into about phone to double check that I was on the right software version (the one that doesn't allow us to edit APN settings)

Hope this works on other phones.

It survives a reboot. We could probably change permissions to read only once we confirm this works for more folks.

If this works for you, hit the like button.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Kidmet:
So since the update (I never tried hotspot before) I've been able to turn my hotspot on no matter what. I haven't changed any settings on my phone. Maybe they took the lock off but will charge you if you use it? Has anyone take the update and NOT been able to turn hotspot on?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] daddymikey1975:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] townsenk:
Are you sure you accomplished anything here? On my S7 I've always been able to turn hotspot ON and OFF. And it allows connections, but that is only when your already connected to WiFi. As soon as you activate mobile network. The subscription msg pops up. I am using the PC5 update and the APN settings remain greyed out. I have that dun_status file and editing it appears to have no effect what so ever. The only way to get hotspot to stay on without the subscription msg is by rebooting and quickly activating hotspot before everything initializes. I'm sure this hack will be patched soon as well. I'm not sure what cfg_dun_status does. It may have something to do with hotspot but I'm not sure we're there yet.

Thanks for your efforts.

I used it in an LG G4 previously, however, before I began using it on this phone, I formatted it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] daddymikey1975:
I'm not sure what the extension is. Es file Explorer doesn't give me an extension when I select properties.

"default,mms,dun".

Also hotspot can work on WIFI for most and it looks like you are on WIFI. Can you go to your data signal and try again. Fill us in on your success. we can hope right guys.

I don't think OP was doing 'true hotspot'. Just wifi sharing. His screen shot shows wifi connected with hotspot on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] daddymikey1975:
Ahhhh crap!

The "type" is grayed out on mine.

(didn't notice that)

Prior to messing with that file I have on the SD card, everything was grayed out.

Back to the drawing board :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] meyerweb:
Was just looking at that file, and trying to figure out how that could do anything. Then came back here and see that it actually wasn't.

But I learned something. I didn't know that kind of WiFi sharing was possible. Not sure what the advantage is compared to just connecting directly to the same router, but it's interesting.

FWIW, I'm sending this using WiFi tethering after the Sprint update. I updated the APN settings prior to applying the update, and they're still working, at least until I get a PRL or Profile update.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] tengtengvn:
I'm not sure if I want a phone with IPS screen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] blackhemi4x4:
I've had both. I jumped to the v10, and was back to the note 5 within a month.

The V10 is good, but not quite there yet on performance and bugs.

The camera is excellent though. I liked that better than the note.

Overall, it wasn't a bad phone for me. My wife still has hers and likes it.

It is a different experience for sure
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Jammol:
How come?

IPS screens aren't bad at all. Colours are pretty on point too especially compared to Samsung and their over saturation of colours.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] tengtengvn:
AMOLED and dark theme save battery. I'm used to the AMOLED screen but that's just me. I don't like how pixels are lid up on a black background. The Moto 360 has the IPS screen and it's pretty annoying to look at at night with an always on watchface.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Jammol:
Ahh okay. I see a lot of people complain about that on the IPS devices. I didn't mind the ones I've owned in the past. I will say that I do love the Amoled screens but I just don't see the hype of the superBlacks that people rave about, though I do love my screen not Cyclops'in me at night though. Lol.:rolleyes:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] jasons1004:
Same here...its a nice concept but v10 has worse battery life than note 5 and the second screen has weird shadowing issues that I could not stand ...not really a second screen...software splits them up...when you load cyanogen on it is obvious and I hated it.... hope this helps..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] tengtengvn:
That sounds awful. I never get the point of the second screen in the V10.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] jasons1004:
Yeah pretty much just a dedicated recent bar or edge app bar...pretty gimmicky....note 5 is such a better device overall...I don't know why every phone doesn't have front facing speakers tho...the only thing I would change really...but viper does a very nice job improving default speaker performance.

I usually don't even need to turn it up past halfway!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] josidhe:
Seems to have a lot to do with how people use their phones. I'm personally a heavy reader, and there's something about Kindle with the black background setting and an AMOLED display. The screen just sort of disappears when you read in the dark, and all you see are the letters floating in your hand. :P

After three Samsungs, I switched to a Nexus 5 a couple years ago and haaaated the always-glowing LCD. Picked up a Note 4, breathed a sigh of relief. Went through the usual annual "Samsung sucks, I'm never buying another Samsung ever again!" tantrum after that and tried an iPhone 6 just to "gain some perspective". Haaaated the always-glowing LCD yet again (and so much more--you can't answer incoming VOIP app calls from the lock screen? What??), and went right back to Samsung with this Note 5.

So I've basically learned two things about myself: 1) I need zero-glow-blacks and 2) whining about Samsung has never changed the fact that they're the only brand I haven't thoroughly hated owning.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] tengtengvn:
I agree. Samsung is keeping the best AMOLED screen for their flagships. The 6P's AMOLED screen is great but you can clearly tell it's not on the same level.
