Sounds like you need to have the screen replaced. In UK it's about £60 so probably cheaper elsewhere and then backup all your Photos to Google Photos for free. My S6 just bricked and all my pics are available through my laptop

I just had a crazy moment with my S7 story. I have had the T-mobile S7 and decided to try a 930F for rooting. I bought one off ebay (even got a white one). It arrived and just seemed off... the screen didn't seem right, the software and resolution seemed off. I tried to Odin the autoroot but it didn't have a download mode but instead a "factory mode" that would show up with the home/down/power combination. That mode had all sorts of tests I could run. After 30 minutes, I did an imei check and found it wasn't an S7 (adb would show it was a 1280x720 screen at that). Luckily ebay processed my return request quickly.

I saw a youtube video and the fakes look almost the same as the real S7.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Nextstep:
I have owned every Galaxy since S2 plus the Note 4 and Active S6

This is the first time I have ever had a Samsung with screen burn.

Just a few weeks old, then again it could just be a defect but never noticed it before. I do like to read on the phone but I have read on phones for years, so nothing different.

Really noticeable when scrolling on a website or anything with a white background.

What are my options, try Samsung warranty or maybe let it be. I am worried it might wear out unevenly and I plan to keep this phone (first ever) for several years.

I can't see any burn-in. Maybe describe what your burn in look like or what being burned in.

Or maybe it's just a bad screen uniformity not exactly a burn-in (see this http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s7/help/hows-everyones-screen-color-unfirmorty-t3333600 )

Get it fix under warranty

I was a little bit fearing that you guys with the Snapdragon would end up having some issue due to eat being higher than the Exynos one. I live in Canada, we normally get the same S series as you guys in the USA. But this time, we got the exynos and I was surprised and SO happy when I discovered it.

:) good luck dealing with Samsung. I have the SD card issue (connect/disconnect/reconnect/...). I have been dealing with them for 3 weeks. I ended up having to send my device to a Samsung authorized Service center. They said: Need to replace the motherboard + screen since it is impossible to do the task without changing the screen. Cost 690$ CDN. 450$ for the motherboard and 150 for the screen plus 15% taxes (yes I live in Quebec lolll).

Then, they called me with the estimate. I said contact Samsung since its under warranty and I have tones of emails back/forth, and phone calls with there executive management department. Every time I speak to one person, I have to repeat the all thing to another one. They seem to not keep tract of their records, email exchange, etc.

Now they say I have to pay for the Screen replacement. I am still fighting with them on the fact that the motherboard cannot be replace without replacing the screen... Over and over. And I am a Lawyer. I have spent over 15 hours on the phone with them to date and still my phone is sitting to the repair service. They would not talk to each others. Extremely weird all the story. But I kept tract of everything and I am sending email to everyone I have dealt with all the time. All this to not have my phone for 2 weeks now... and at least another week before it gets back.

They will have no choice then to pay (of COURSE) and I know it... this is my job to do so.

Lol and re-Lol. I have owned 2 S1, 2 S2, 3 S3, 2 S4, 3 S5... and they just dont seem to want to deal promptly with their hardware issue. Really frustrating. I am charging 350$/hour... I have lost a lot of money (time) on this. I will sue them for it in the end. They will be easy for me. They wont even send a Lawyer in Ottawa (where I live) since they have no representative here. And their legal fees will be over 10K to fight. My demands will be around 5K to date.

Good luck :)

Every Samsung phone I've owned has had horrible screen burn in, even with brightness at low. I finally quit buying them but my old lady still does. She decided on an iPhone last time because of the screen burn. So from the galaxy s all the way to the galaxy s6 every phone had burn in.

Hello, I bought a Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G9300 that does not include google services and its applications and I would like very much to be able to have them installed on my phone. Is there any way to do this? I have already tried to install the package from OpenGapps and it does not work. Thank you very much in advance!!!

I have got same problem. I have rooted my phone and install TWRP, so can I replace firmware with G930T?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] lost_:
See this thread. What people are doing with the Edge 9350 seem to be applicable to the 9300. I'd bet there are more info on Chinese forums if you can make out what is what.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ferkar:
Thank you.

I spent more time in chinese forum, now I have only rooted G9300, but still I can not run google play services. I tried flash G930TUVU2APC8_TMB2APC8_TMB_USA_T-Mobile_6.0.1 official firmware to my G9300 but it didn't successed because of different PIT file (g930T has bigger system partition then g9300). At this point, resizing g9300 partition can be possible?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ferkar:
Ok, now all of Google services are working on my G9300. The all steps and necessary files are below.

1- install CROM _V1.0.4.apk and run for unlock the bootloader.

2-install Samsung-Usb-Driver-v1.5.59.0.

3-install Odin3_v3.10.7

4-flash G9300-PC9-Auto-Root-0403_3 with odin.

5-wipe data partition in TWRP

6-install open_gapps-arm64-6.0-pico-20160329 in TWRP.

Hey guys i am facing the same issues as you did SM G9300 chinese model and no google apps. Could you please explain a bit more what needs to be done to get them? :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ferkar:
If you already download all files from link (you have to put https at beginning of the link :)) you have to follow the all instructions step by step. Before of all you have to unlock your bootloader by using CROM (just download apk, install and run). Copy open_gapps-arm64-6.0-pico-20160329 file to phone's SD card or internal storage. At odin stage, press AP button and select G9300-PC9-Auto-Root-0403_3 file. In Odin options only Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time box have been checked. For enter download mode press power + home + volume down buttons until you see the download screen on the phone. Just press start button and wait 10 seconds in odin, then your device will be reboot in recovery mode (you will see TWRP screen in chinese). First time when device in recovery, root process will be done. Then press install button and select open_gapss from SD card or internal storage. Confirm to install and reboot system. you will see google account manager while booting system. Sorry, my english is not well.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cls2:
Hi, thanks for the instruction. One question, does this root method mess up the front camera? I heard people not being able to take multiple photos with the front camera after rooting their SM-G9300.

Other people have reported issues with phone not recognizing SD card after rooting, and not being able to play video files after rooting. I am not sure if these are false negatives. Have you experienced any problem after rooting your SM-G9300?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ferkar:
I have only front camera issue. There is no SD or player issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cls2:
Good to know. Thank you!

Someone suggested that the front camera issue can be solved by using a third-party camera app, not the Samsung native app. Maybe you can try that.

One more question, after rooting the phone, can I uninstall some of the bloatware apps such as the Samsung and Baidu stuffs that I never use? If so, how do I go about to do that? I have flashed Customized ROMs on android phones before but other than that I have little experience with rooting.

I am now very tempted to root my phone, as I really need Google Apps...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ferkar:
Yes, you can uninstall everything with system app remover application which you can download playstore.

Stuck on wipe step

First of all, thanks for sharing the instructions. I have a Chinese S7 and it's very frustrating to be forbidden to access Google Apps.

I am stuck at the wipe step. Twrp returns the message that it cannot mount some folders. I have tried to MTP to access that gapps file that you shared, but no sucess. Any clues?

First time twrp can't mount data partition but it's not important. On twrp you just goto wipe and press format data. Then twrp can mount data partition. Finally you should apply 4th and 6th steps of above instructions.

Hey guys,

I just purchased an SM-G9300 and was really hoping to root it. I'm very happy to see there is a dedicated forum here for this. I am also confused why rooting this variant causes a camera issue. I have read through this entire post and thought I saw some who have rooted without the camera issue, but most seem to have the problem. I had the SM-G9008V Samsung S5 rooted without any problems, so, I'm sure someone must have a solution to get the s7 chinese variant rooted without problems.
