[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] xSkyer:
Hi!

I`m planning to buy Samsung Galaxy S7. Is Edge worth paying more? Curved display looks great and I heard that battery is better. How much longer it lasts?

I`m upgrading from S6 which has terrible battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] drummerman:
Re. battery life, head over to the relevant thread. I just posted my screen shots. Probably about 1 - 2 hours extra SOT over the S7 all else being equal.

As to 'worth it' ... only you can decide whether you need/want the bigger screen and curved edges.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] xSkyer:
2 hours? Wow. I think I should go for Edge version. I'll post my verdict later
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] drummerman:
... but you won't find a glass screen protectors that reliably stays on with a case :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beefheart:
Only downside of the curved screen for me, I do miss my glass protectors. But as long as you accept they never work and don't bother wasting money on them then it's not a major problem. I've had a Zagg Dry HD on mine since it was around 3 days old and it still looks and feels fine.

As for the question, the S7 Edge is by far the better option in my view. The hardware might be the same but the extra size in the screen, the curve features and bigger battery all make it the obvious choice between the two.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] xSkyer:
I didn't use any screen protectors on my S6 and I have only 1 visible scratch next to the Samsung logo after 7 months.

How about Always on Display. Is it useful in general?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beefheart:
That's one scratch more than me, which is the point of screen protectors. I also don't buy into the claims they ruin the feel of the screen. A screen with a good quality protector on feels different, but not in a bad way for me.

As for AOD, I used it for a few days when I first got the phone then turned it off. They claim it only uses 1% an hour on average, but that is still between 16 and 18 percent a day for me. I find it a bit of a gimmicky feature that, in terms of notifications, doesn't really show anything more than the LED does. Less so in fact because, without Xposed, AOD only shows missed calls and messages. Things like WhatsApp aren't supported.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Shipoftheline:
I went from the S6 the S7 Edge and the battery life in a VAST improvement, HUGE
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] s8freak:
Agreed I average 6 hours SOT

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] cata88pl:
Hello !

I saw on internet that liquid coating for screen protection is getting more and more attention.

Did anyone tested something similar, or "Liquid Armour" protection ?

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] cata88pl:
No one used something similar?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] H00pyFr00d:
I used it once; Snakeoil. It did nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] cata88pl:
I understand, it is big fake. Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] daviiiiiid:
I've used it on several of my devices and I can say it actually works. It does wear off though. You have to re-apply every year or so.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] lambstone:
It's not snakeoil. These liquid coatings do work. HOWEVER, I can only confirm that the oleophobic coating works though, not sure if it does anything with relating to anti scratch properties
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Hunkman:
I have installed the wet type screen protector on my S7 edge from Gadgetshieldz. I have been using them for a while, never felt like installed(Invisible). And saves from the key and coins in the pocket.

https://www.gadgetshieldz.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-screen-protectors-covers-cases.html
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] swiftfury:
That's a Film screen protector, that's not what this thread is about, the discussion is about Liquid Screen Protectors. Oh and by the way, Gadgetshieldz is not that good, for the best Film protector, look for IQ Shield or Armorsuit.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Hunkman:
Thanks for seeding a knowledge about the liquid protectors and how to get sure about it's placed well?

For me, Gadgethshieldz works better than the IQ shield.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] ecmperalta:
I saw some tests on youtube showing that it doesn´t work, some videos of people telling that it works...

for me it´s like homepathic medicine haha
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] lambstone:
Except homoeopathic medicine work! Nah, just kidding. Its a bunch of medication for retards.

Anyway, anti-scratch properties can't be proven but anti fingerprint can be tested and proven
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Oldsc0ool:
It doesnt work though. My screen cracked with it

[Blu Pure XL] jim262:
This phone has a lot of potential, but it will never be anything more. The reason I say this is because of Blu's business model, which I was unaware of when I bought the device. They do not have an R&D department. They are just middle men. Gionee makes most of their phones and they simply rebrand them. That is why they offer zero support. They can't. The don't have anything to do with the phone other than distribution. So there will never be upgrades to software unless Gionee makes it, but that probably won't happen because they are not in software development business. They primarily only make the phones, so support is not a major concern for them as well. Blu just constantly buys phones and throws them out there. There was this phone, which was quickly forgotten as they transitioned to their next phone, the VIVO 5. There was supposed to be an MM upgrade for this device. I don't believe they ever saw it. Now they are onto the ENERGY XL and the VIVO will be forgotten. They will never release any code or info on the phones, because they can't. They don't own it or have created it. They just middle man and rebrand. Hence, there will always be little to no development for any Blu device.
[Blu Pure XL] tbirdguy:
This has been covered many MANY times here on XDA... Maybe you could have done some reading before purchase. I for one dont make purchases without at least reading some reviews and seeing what other people have said about the company / service / product.

One would assume a member of the XDA community would have the forethought to do the same.

Thank You for your opinion, but this isnt the venue for venting about buyers remorse, there are sites like amazon for that.

If you dont like the software on the phone, learn to code, or buy another phone, but spouting all the hate and bile about a self professed rebranding reseller is neither helpful or productive, so lets keep this forum about moving forward, not about personal regrets you project onto a company.
[Blu Pure XL] jaybirdhawaii:
thanks for the comments .. puts a lot of things in perspective about the phone .. perhaps it's time to look elsewhere for my next one ..
[Blu Pure XL] jim262:
No this may not be a site for buyers remorse, but it is a site about facts and the fact is BLU does not own anything and therefore can not produce updates, release code, stock roms, or anything else beneficial to development. Is that better? BTW, I did research this phone and the vast majority of reviews were positive.
[Blu Pure XL] tbirdguy:
And once again if you had done even a TINY bit of research about the brand, you would have known this... they do not try to hide this information... so once again I am TRULY SORRY you bought something you dont like, and I am VERY GLAD you have learned from the experience and have grown from it...

Learn to code and help out instead of complaining...

As far as positive reviews, I love the phone, using different launcher and exposed its good phone... dont know what your beef is with the company or the phone... they could have locked the boot loader or encrypted it to the point we cant even root it, but none of that has happened... so quit being a "negative Nancy" and look at the brightside
[Blu Pure XL] jim262:
I can't code this phone and apparently not many can. There is no source code to work with that has been released and I don't have the time to reverse engineer this device. This site is about sharing information and if I can help some to not make the same mistake I did, then I have succeeded. So please don't shoot the messenger, BLU is who your issue should be with.
[Blu Pure XL] tbirdguy:
to shoot the messenger of this ancient news i'd need a musket... and also you wouldnt be one being shot, as this isnt even "news" its "olds"

There are A LOT of people that CAN code for this phone, we just only have 2 or 3 that are busy as hell, so we dont make much progress... once again if you want it served up on silver platter, learn to code, or put up some reward money (thats how we got root btw)

but "the airing of grievances" is for festivus not for xda, so quit banging that head on the aluminum pole
[Blu Pure XL] jim262:
Once again, it is not a grievance only a warning to help others in making a decision about this device. There I have said it for the last time.
[Blu Pure XL] tbirdguy:
griev·ance

ˈɡrēvəns/

noun

a real or imagined wrong or other cause for complaint or protest, especially unfair treatment.

"failure to redress genuine grievances"

synonyms:	injustice, wrong, injury, ill, unfairness; More

an official statement of a complaint over something believed to be wrong or unfair.

"three pilots have filed grievances against the company"

a feeling of resentment over something believed to be wrong or unfair.

"he was nursing a grievance"

REED MOAR...

Feed your head...

your major point seems to be "I bought a really well reviewed phone"

And are upset no custom roms or updates available...

http://bluproducts.com/android-software-updates

kit kat is latest updates the advertise, you have lollipop but still arent happy, to the point you had to come on a community site who actually read, and like the phones they purchased...just to bad mouth and spout negativity toward a phone that most people who purchased are very happy with (hence the plethora of positive reviews you mentioned.)

this isnt a place to vent your personal experiences about a uninformed purchase you made (nor is it a place for me to decide ANYTHING, i AM NOT a MOD) but my suggestion is to do more research next time, maybe see if there are roms available for a phone BEFORE you purchase it, and research the companies record for updated BEFORE you purchase... being angry after the fact for making a poor decision not only is "crying over spilled milk" but also unbecoming and unhelpful...

BLU is a company with a reputation for selling CHEAP, REBRANDED, CHINESE phones from GIONEE... this is all COMMON KNOWLEDGE and very easily found out with very little effort... (one would even say less effort than the tirade post you started this whole debacle with, certainly less keystrokes)

SO by all means maybe do some more research (I tried to help with the definition of grievance for you, since you obviously you chose to ignore it, or do not know it)

also your "warning" is akin to standing outside McDonalds (or fast food grease hut of your choosing) and warning people entering they "served you a cheeseburger, when you wanted a cheeseburger with onions, but didnt look or ask if a cheeseburger comes with onions, AND THEY ALSO SERVE CHEAP FATTENING FOODS HIGH IN SODIUM"

the basic point being you cant flash a rom to a device, so now you have sour grapes and have to spit whatever tripe you can to "warn" people on a place, that IN THE TITLE OF THE WEBSITE states "Developers," im sure we need it... thanks for all the help!
[Blu Pure XL] Heisenberg:
XDA isn't a place for venting because you didn't research before buying.

[Greenify] rfgamaral:
I have an HTC 10 and some apps came pre-installed as system apps, like Facebook, Instagram and others... I have Greenify donation package and I also use the Xposed module.

I have enabled the option to greenify system apps and I'd tried to hibernate Facebook. It somewhat works, the app is hibernated successfully. But when I open it, it doesn't seem to wake up completely. I mean, sometimes the feed is not updated, I swipe to the notifications pane and pull-to-refresh but I get an error "Can't connect at the moment", I try to open an external link that someone posted but I also get the "Can't connect at the moment" error message.

At first I wasn't aware of what was causing this but I then remembered checking Greenify and I stopped auto-hibernating Facebook. Now, every time I open the app, everything is working. Which makes me think that the problem is within Greenify.

I don't know if the real cause is because Facebook is a system app on my phone or for some reason Greenify can0t properly handle hibernation on the Facebook app.

Can anyone advise?

Hey guys , i`m new here, i was wondering if you could help me with my galaxy note 2 shv-e250l.

I got tired of samsung 4.4.2 kikat touchwiz and also my phone started getting laggy.

I would be very greatfull if you could help with step by step tutorials, i have never installed a custom rom, or a custom recovery, i`ve had a galaxy xcover1 before my note2, so i couldn`t really try any custom roms on my xcover.

I noticed that there`s a marhsmallow rom (android 6.0) and i would like to know if i can install it, or if i could install a cyanogen mod.

Also i`d love to hear what custom roms you use on your note2 phones and what are your thoughts regarding the experience you had with them.

Thank you, and have a good day.

How to install Kali NetHunter on any android device?​

hey everyone what's up? :)

#Sorry for my bad English#

the offensive-security did not port nethunter for any android device.

but if you use this method you can install kali nethunter on any android device!

Important!

by this way you can just use the kali chroot. it means wireless hacking,HID Attack's and..... NOT WORKING!

What's we need?

1. 8GB or above internal storage

2. custom recovery

3. cyanogenmod 12 or above

The File

go to the kali nethunter download page and download One Plus one's NetHunter (do not download for nexus !)

Unzip the file using winrar or 7zip in a folder and remove the "anykernelzip folder". after removing,repack the files ito zip format using winrar or 7zip.

copy the new zip file into your sd card or phone storage and flash it using your own custom recovery.

after reboot do not open the nethunter terminal!

first you most open the kali nethunter program (dragon icon) for verify the kali chroot.

after verify,just open the kali nethunter terminal and enjoy :)

install gapps

wipe dalvik,chache

boot and setting up phone
