[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] J.Biden:
I just got the S7 Edge (Exynos = International version) last week, and I couldn't be happier! I moved from a Sony device which has been a real champ through my two years with it (and it's still kicking ass), but I felt like I needed something new. Nothing caught my attention before Samsung announced the S7 Edge. It was, and is, freaking beautiful. I was close to buying the S6 Edge last year, but I didn't do it because of the battery, but this year, hell yeah.

The display, as you already know, is amazing. It's the best mobile display in the world today, and you know it. It has an SD card slot which supports up to 2 TB of memory (Samsung says 200 GB since that's the biggest one you'll get today, but it supports 2 TB). The battery, ooh - the battery. It's ridiculous. My Exynos device just won't die in a day. I'm a medium to heavy user, but good lord, I'm struggling to get it under 50% after a day. I really am.

A buddy of mine has the 6S Plus. He "hates me" now, since I got the S7 Edge. He can clearly see that he has the inferior device. The iPhone is still very very good - for a certain type of people! But some people expect somewhat more out of a 1000 dollar device (yes, that' what I paid for mine), and I have never held a mobile device that has felt as expensive as the Edge. I have the gold version on top of that, so it feels like handling a gold phone (without the weight of gold, of course) when I pick it up. It is fantastic.

Bloat? Mine's not a carrier version so I don't have any carrier bloat, but I do have the Samsung bloat. Luckily, it can mostly be disabled, so that's not an issue. Most of the bloat doesn't take space either since Samsung uses "shells", i.e they don't install whole apps at start, but Chrome f.ex is only 10KB on my device when I disable it (I prefer Samsung Internet with adblock), and it won't "balloon" up to its regular 100MB or whatever unless you update it through the Play Store. It's the same with Facebook etc. The device also comes with 4 GB of RAM, but 512 of those are dedicated to the GPU, so we have 3.5 GB for applications.

I came from a relatively bloat-free Sony device, scared for the Samsung bloat-monster, but I freaking LOVE it. Your little reboot issue must have been a weird bug or glitch, and the US models have received a huge update since you got rid of yours, correcting a lot of bugs and issues (correct me if I'm wrong, people), so I would get the Edge again.

Keep in mind that I have the Exynos version, so keep in mind that some thing will be a little different. Do I recommend this beast? Yes. It's definitely a head-turner, the hardware is the best I've ever seen and the software is solid (but you could encounter a bug or two, like you did).

You wrote a lengthy post, so you deserve something better than "get the s7, it kicks butt", or whatever. Got any questions? Not a problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] kappatau808:
i did not read the whole post but i see last part about crashing. all phone crash and freeze and whatever, that's why we have replacements. my first smartphone was iphone, then i went samsung, then one plus one and then s7 edge. they all have issues of apps crashing or freezing, phone freezing and some models having crappy battery. you can't try 1 phone, have a bad experience and say that phone sucks without trying a replacement. you have popping sound from camera you say? get it replaced. shutting off by itself get it replaced. they say there's no stock? then have them make a note on your account that you are returning a phone for replacement but there is no stock so they should extend your return grace period atleast till there is stock. yea i don't get this 3d touch, i was watching a demo video and the guy was opening an email he said if you press and hold it gives you a peek of content, and if you hold longer it opens the email. why not just open the email, would have been faster. 3d touch to me is like saying iphone has touch screen! some of phone features today sound good but are really useless to me, like i dont even use wireless charging.

i left iphone because it got boring, everyone with an iphone had the same phone as me.i now have galaxy s7 edge because i am on tmobile jump so i can upgrade by the time a new phone comes out. and so far it has been great, battery has been great and it looks awesome. i had issue with SD card so i had it replaced, tmobile mailed me a new one in 2 days.

that being said,i am not as into cellphones as i once was. i got the s7 edge because i had tmobile jump. O down and just pay an extra $8 a month i think to replace my old s6. alot of the other brands are looking good now since they are almost half or less than half the price and can run the same apps as the expensive phones.

not being rude or anything but if a phone not turning on freaks you out, i think you need a no phone month or something. it's just a phone lol.

also i notice some comments about iphone being boring... i know right?

every phone model from every brand will have phones with issues that is why we have warranties.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] lvnatic:
I own an ipad air 2 and I wouldn't trade it for any android tablet in this world. For media consumption, gaming and other light stuff that you do on a tablet, the ipad has no competition.

In the smartphone world tho, it's a different story. I upgraded from my note 3 two weeks ago. The main reason I excluded an iPhone from the beginning is that I would get bored of it, it would practically be like a smaller ipad with phone capability, it wouldn't do anything different.

Make no mistake the iPhone is great, it's very smooth, stable, the apps are superbly optimised and it just works out of the box, battery is fine and it takes great pics. Don't listen to most of the haters here, you're on an android forum, iPhones are great pieces of hardware. The problem with iOS tho is that it's extremely limited. It's so limited that in many cases a jailbroken iOS device is more limited then a stock android device. Take torrents for example, I live in a poor country where torrenting is very popular and I download pirated HD movies all the time. On iOS you need JailBreak for it. If you download a big package, you can't select which files you want to download, it's problematic running the torrent app in the background properly etc. On Android, you just choose one of the many apps from play store, you can select which files to download, which have a bigger priority, where to download the files and so on, while being stock. This is just an example, and there are many like these. IOS is extremely limited, and it's been very hard to JailBreak an apple device lately (the latest iOS versions can't be jailbroken, and there doesn't seem to be any hope for any method in the near future; it's also imposibile to downgrade to an older iOS version which can be jailbroken, so if you end up with a device running 9.2 or higher, get used to the idea of running a stock iphone for a long, long time). A small conclusion you can draw from this, is that Apple sells you the hardware, but the software belongs to them and you can't do anything to change it.

Pros for the s7 edge: best display on the market, no doubt about it (I got 2 friends with a 6s and 2k videos from youtube blow them away, the s7 just looks SO MUCH better), pretty much the best battery life on the market, and pretty much the best camera on the market, all packed nicely in a very premium build quality that is decently water resistant. The software is also very optimised, touchwizz is finally very fluid and responsive and it's much cleaner. Like I said I'm coming from the note 3 and the difference is huge, this is literally as fast as a nexus device.

Pros for the iphone: works well out of the box, iOS is still better then android when it comes to performance and stability (tho the gap is very small now), an overall great product with better build quality. Touch id is also better.

Another pro for the Samsung: they have similar screen size but the iPhone plus is a tank, it's huge and uncomfortable to carry around. Those huge bezels look ridiculous.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ssgunner20:
Sharing my input again. Been a few wks now and phone is great. Got good advice from other threads regarding battery life.

Like others have mentioned wait for an iphone 7 but i wouldnt hold my breath. Sure its going to look decent but again so limited???

[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
Good day All,

I've been trying to flash custom rom on my kindle fire 5th gen 7" tablet, following the guide posted by rootjunky.

With his supertool, i had installed play store, rooted the device and installed supersu and flashfire v 0.27. Everything worked at first, but on the screen to flash the slimrom, i got warning that the device had been modified to block OTA updates and the flash most probably will fail. I restore the device to factory defaults and repeated the process of rooting, but without blocking OTA updates. Now the flash fire doesn't start. It starts loading and take me back into home screen. In supersu i don't see any configured apps. I've repeated the process (restore the device to factory defaults and root again) but the result is same.

Please let me know how to resolve this?

Thank you,

Diyan

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] panxpany:
Hey Note'ers!

I am currently on 5.1.1 TekHD custom rom. If I wanted to flash, say Beanstalk - 6.13, will I be able to restore the messages up to exactly the same place I have it now using TB? Will I get all the attachements etc.... ? I understand the setting probably cannot be restored, but that is easily reconfigurable, but does TB restore all apps WITH their respective data between different versions of ROMs? Are there any specials steps to do it?

I just want to make sure before I make that step. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] WaxysDargle:
before you do anything, make a backup in TWRP.

Titanium Backup is supposed to be able to carry over messages, but this is why you should have a backup. TB is notorious for being a bit squirrely between different ROMs. i would do some research first on google before risking it. you can always revert to backup, though.:o
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] nine5raptor:

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] goofball2k:
messages as in texts? or messages as in email?

For texts, I use SMS backup and restore from the play store. Make sure you select to save attachments/emojis and all those things you want. It will create an xml file which you should store somewhere safe. You then use the same software to restore the messages.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] panxpany:
Oh, I forgot about that. That is a good solution as everything else is pretty much backed up online those days. Thanks man.

[Greenify] TNSMANI:
If you have appops either in your ROM or the Xposed app, this permission is listed there.

However, for me, it never asked for that permission and now while checking in appops, I find that this permission is denied. Still Greenify is working.

[Greenify] lucky92:
I am sorry but I have this problem too. I can not find "draw on top" settings on my galaxy S6 (6.0.1 NOT ROOTED) to make greenify auto hiberation.
[Greenify] TNSMANI:
Without appops in your ROM or appops Xposed, you will not have that option to enable or disable.
[Greenify] kolembo:
I'm Stock 6.1 and unrooted.
[Greenify] lucky92:
so it's mean i can use auto-hiberation options in my S6 ?
[Greenify] waingro808:
Wondering the same thing on my Galaxy S7
[Greenify] TNSMANI:
As I said earlier, for me it doesn't ask for that permission and in fact that permission is denied for Greenify in my setup. So I don't know why it is popping up that message for you and atleast a couple of others.

So you may be left with whatever options your ROM provides and you can try them.

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

[Greenify] kolembo:
SOLVED

-go to Apps Manager

-enter 'more' tab, top right

-select 'apps that can appear on top'

-scroll to Greenify and tap the switch off then on again (it's already on by default)

-enter Greenify and tick auto hibernate

Very happy, Greenify really helps with the 6.0.1 update on the s6 edge+

This permission is only required on devices running Andoid 6.0 or higher. To enable "Draw over Apps", follow these steps:

Go to the Device Settings

Tap "Apps"

On the top right, tap the gear icon

Under Advanced, chose "Draw over other apps"

Find greenify in the list and tap it

Toggle "Permit drawing over other apps" to ON.

For Samsumg devices running Android 6, this setting has been moved to Settings > Applications > Application Manager > More > Draw over other apps

*** On newer Samsung devices the "Draw over other apps" has been renamed to "Apps that can appear on top". Find Greenify and check this option. If it is already checked, toggle it off and on. ***

The option above worked for me on a Galaxy S6 6.0.1
[Greenify] majid_potter7:
solution

finally I find the solution in my nexus 5 with android 6.......that was a bit ridiculous :D:D

go to setting-> app-> tap the setting icon in above, right

tap "draw over other app"

find greenify app and tap on it

turn off "permit drawing over other apps"

now go to greenify app

go to setting and try to check-mark "automated hibernation"

you see a pop-up message is shown in the bottom that say you should turn on draw on top setting, with is a "setting" button in the message (green font). tap on "setting"

you will jump again to "drawing over app" setting for greenify. this time, turn on "permit drawing over other apps".

then,tap the back button. you will jump to greenify setting again. now again, try to check-marck "automated hibernation". there will be no errors.

Hi guys!

I'd like to ask what is the best option, shield pro with a HDD or shield with 16GB SSD?

I'll use it not like a gaming console, but just as some tiny desktop with a various screen. I'm curious, could I change the HDD in the PRO version in future? What is the better choice, if I'll install linux on it?

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miamijerry:
I have read that 16GB version is faster.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LM209:
I did not know that. but why buy 500gb version, if you can expand the internal memory to a hard disk, a USB stick or an sd card anyway.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] honosuseri:
There is a promotion on till the 1st of May where they bundle in another controller with either version (at least they do here in the UK). You could always sell it to recoup some cash, they retail for £50. I love the device, now is a pretty good time to buy to be fair.

Personally I bought the 16GB model with the remote bundled on promotion. I've added a 500GB USB2 external drive I had laying around as adopted storage (thanks to Marshmallow) and it works well enough for my liking. A 64GB MicroSD is ~£15 or a 1TB USB3 external HDD would be ~£40. You could probably get the 16GB model and a 2TB HDD for the price of the Pro model in fairness.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IamSonoma:
I wish I bought the 16th instead of the 500gb. Don't get me wrong, the 500Tb is nice but since I like to run fastboot -w once a week (j/k) it would only take me about 2 minutes to do a good wipe and not 2 hours. I do like stock restyle and full android more than stock. Unlocking the boot loader for root requires the wipe as well.

I bought it when android 5.1 did not hand memory as adoptive memory. Now 6.0 does and drives are cheap.

I bought a Samsung Gear S2 3G smartwatch from South Korea. I presumed this is a locked device by SK Telecom due to its logo upon booting.

I bought this for a hefty price with the expectation that it could work as a "standalone" device. Since I am using this in Saudi Arabia, the capability of being "standalone" device simply doesn't work.

Folks, is there a workaround to unlock it and become usable as a standalone device using the uSIM to connect it in any networks in Saudi Arabia?
