[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] pingufanpoy:
1. There is a pro mode where you can adjust iso manual focus shutter speed contrast can also shoot in raw.

2. Build quality on the phone is good, they always advertise that the phone is easy to hold. But it isn't, the sides are bezelled and smooth making slippery but people get used to it. I bought a case the first time but it just makes it bulky.

3. Right now our oreo upgrade has battery drain that's not completely fixed, like drains 20 to 30 percent battery overnight. Compared to 5 to 10 percent in nougat. No other bugs except that. (edit) I think its fixed only losing 1 - 2% in 4 hours screen off.

4. Exynos processors are the only s7 phones that can use custom roms.

5. Battery drain in oreo (supposedly fixed now in ERG2) I think its fixed only losing 1 - 2% in 4 hours screen off.

6. Pink lines happen on some phones not all of them ask before you buy. Dead pixels are a result of burn in on amoled displays if the colors never move, the screen in those squares will start to burn and cause a black or brown dot. The aluminum edges on the phone get hot when you play games or watch YouTube like holding coffee.

Amoled have better blacks and contrast if you go the custom route we also have a flicker free mod so the screen doesnt flash 3 times per second like when your recording a lcd monitor better battery life due to shutting down black pixels. High vibrance and saturation.

LCDs offer better whites lower battery life. Accurate color reproduction. Kind of regarded as dull color.

Other phones comparable to the s7 are lg g6 ip68 records in 4k 18:9:5 lcd 2880 1440p display 340 dollars it has a better camera than the s7 is also dual pixel and has laser auto focus and dual rear camera.

We have s8 and s9 ports with Bixby vision and Bixby voice.

But since both phones are old we will be stuck on oreo.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Flyagaric:
I only bought S7 on Amazon.de Prime day - less than 300EUR. For the price (a brand new phone, official distribution) it's a whopper. Carefully thought this through. Only mid-rangers can be obtained a this price level, out of the new releases, which is not an option for me. One of last usable compact phones (as Pixel, Huawei P10 and Sony Compact aren't much my liking, at all). Below 145mm in lenght, mini audio-jack, waterproof, still quite strong SoC.

You've got all questions answered above already, but I only want to come back to:

Ad.6 - As far as I remember, on the US market Samsung uses Snapdragon 820(821?) SoC only, due to different modem needed for your radio frequencies there. All custom ROMs available here (XDA) are for Exynos, so you would need to stay away.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] waingro808:
#4 you need Exynos for ROMs

Unlike LG's, there are no common issues with the S7 or any S series. I bought mine used ten months ago, and it has been fantastic. You will not be disappointed at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mangojain:
Just to add- battery drain is not necessary on Oreo. I'm actually getting even better bl on Oreo than on Nougat (first with a stock rom and now a custom). On an absolute basis too, the bl is fabulous, both in screen-off and screen-on mode (i use fhd mode).

And from all I've read, the Exynos variant is much better.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] maXDAmn:
this is my real experience with buying used samsung phone from another country/region, basically you can not repairing it on the official samsung service center. i don't know if this is only on my country or perhaps another country/region too, so if you want to hold the device for long run (2 or 3 year) please buy it from official local samsung experience store and don't import it. btw, i don't have any issue with camera, software, or real life experience with the device.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Salazar33:
I didn't get neither notification nor email i thought nobody replied at all. Anyways, thank you all for the info i so appreciate it, especially [MENTION=8951003]pingufanpoy[/MENTION], like a lot.

The feedback seems so positive and i'm even more positive about the phone, i found an S7 G930FD the international dual sim one (Exynos), with 64GB internal storage, 2 cases and a charging dock for 305$ (weird number i know), and as far as i tested all working fine, i wanna have it for few more days like that before starting to mod or whatever just to confirm all is clean.

At first i thought about LG V20 actually but when i done some research some users reported couple of the same issues i had with the V10 which i guarantee nobody will like, and i didn't find much ROMs for it so i didn't really find it a good option. I believe the S7 is also IP68 rated even though i haven't tested it out myself yet but it feels solid in general.

Now pingufanpoy mentioned how screen burn in happens when you have a static display for too long on OLED or when it gets hot, i think i can report the same case or something similar with the LG V10 which actually use an LCD IPS panel, i don't think its called burn in for this case but when the phone gets hot and it does a lot, the screen holds the colors of the image even if you change the screen or turn of the display for quite a bit, till i actually turn of the phone completely and let it sit down for some time. the V10 was the worst LG experience for me after the L7-ii. From my own experience, LG with its modular phone parts make its hardware kinda easy to repair and replace, but its software is the complete opposite in my opinion.

For the S7 i guess the IP68 rating will fail if the phone gets opened or something similar so i'm avoiding that.

Before buying i found a mod that uses the speaker and the ear peace together to produce better sound so i'll be trying that soon. Resurrection remix is my favorite ROM so far so i'll be using that as well just hope the camera still retain its full functionality.

So far so good with the phone actually, despite its 2 years old its keeping up really really good, the battery isn't bad but isn't too great too, i guess its cause the phone is used and the battery already gave up some of its power, might end up with an extended battery case. Removing system apps with adb is possible so didn't to root yet, and having the bloat-wares off the phone makes it even better.

Yea if i can help with anything i'll try my best too, thanks again everyone the phone is great and i'm not regretting it.

The benchmarks say it all:

Also, AT&T is hella expensive. Sprint is not ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GSLEON3:
Ahhh, Sprint is also CDMA... No swapping out for local SIM cards while traveling.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cuboosh:
not to mention sprint is going under!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Snowreaper:
How so? Please elaborate.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] casenickles:
Have you seen their $99 plan, no company would willingly implement such a plan if they weren't in trouble.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tiptoekirk:
They may not go under but they are seriously in trouble.. I have a friend that works for sprint and we were discussing this topic the other day.. Plus there customer service sucks and you get overbilled!

Get on the SERO plan if you switch over to sprint, its the only way I would ever sacrafice quality network coverage over cheaper service....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] idj1975:
I ditched Sprint for AT&T myself.

Customer service at Sprint was horrible, coverage was crappy for a "major" area, & their phone selection really does suck.

I'm wondering if I should go back to my 8525 from the Tilt now though... Maybe if I can find a good 6.1 ROM for it...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Gimik:
god that's depressing
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fitdocsr:
I switched from sprint to at&t as well. Network coverage was not good and data was slow as molasses. Mainly I wanted more bars in more places.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Snowreaper:
I too am a former Sprint cust and would never go back. I hated their poor coverage and terrible customer service. Was just wondering if there was some actual facts or just general Sprint hating. ;)

So the Titan is faster and the only real dif is the tilting screen?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hidavi:
AT&T, Verizon and Sprint all offer that. You fail.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cuboosh:
no..hidavi YOU FAIL.

sprint offers everything for $99

att/verizon offer VOICE ONLY for $99
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hidavi:
Well, damn, you're right!

The other two are only $40 off though so if they can get more customers this way, more power to them!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JimmyMcGee:
So by this reasoning, Cricket, a **** cell company if ever there was one. Is going under even though they just expanded into my area. They lack a lot of features I require so I don't use it I'm just saying because a company is offereing Unlimited Plan doesn't mean they are going under.

They are however, Going under. You can just see it, like an old man walking down the street. Back in the Beginning when it was the Original AT&T(soon to become Cingular), VoiceStream(soon to become T-Mobile), Verizon, and Sprint. Sprint was the "odd man out." They were barely fourth. Now Years Later they are still fourth, plus they tired to swallow that Fifth Place player, Nextel.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JimmyMcGee:
This sounds like an AT&T commercial.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] P1Tater:
Here is what I dont understand.

If you are returning your phone because you are upset or whatever, why post and tell everyone. Quit cluttering the boards with bull**** threads. We don't care.

In other words.........

DONT GO AWAY MAD, JUST GO AWAY.

Anyone whose upset a this thread can suck my balls :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Cavey.co.uk:
I thought about this a while back. My Hermes -> Kaiser upgrade was driven by an insurance claim and not being given the newer phone as "Nearest fit". I don't feel that the Kaiser is worse, but tbh I made more use of the "flash"light than I have of the GPS and I don't really count the tilting screen as a feature, more a gimmick.

The biggest improvement is it came with WM6 as standard, and that supports 8Gb SD cards, but then I could have flashed that onto my Hermes if the mood had taken me.

Given the choice, I honestly have to say that they don't really care which one I got. Neither played Sonic as well as my wizard did, but I still prefer them both to the Wizard for pretty much everything else.

So maybe I still don't understand why they seem un-able to out-pace my old 486DX2 laptop with 20Mb of RAM and a 2Gb HDD (played Doom really well, also works for opening/editing office documents (Office95), web browsing (Opera 3), ICQ, IRC, email and as a door stop), but I still can't really find a phone available on the market that I would actually prefer to this one.

Needless to say though, when it comes to renewing contract I shall be moving to a monthly tariff, not one tied to a 12 month contract. There just hasn't been any real improvement since the Hermes that would tempt me.

Can you provide proof like with LTE Discovery screenshot?

If true, you're going to be a hero and cause a lot of excitement...

Even with root and "enabling" via T-Mobile network hidden menu, no one in the past few months could get LTE band 71 to actually be used on US998. We gave up.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] cstark27:
OnePlus 6 meets that requirement. Then next month the Pixel 3 will be out with B71 already confirmed and will be unlockable.

Maybe the Moto Z3 Play, E5 Play/Plus (only the versions sold by TMobile) can be bootloader unlocked but not sure.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Yeah, but he wants a premium phone. ;)

[MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] I've seen your name pop up quite a bit about this band 71 functionality, but haven't read anywhere you personally ever got it to work. Yet in this thread 2 people claim they got it to work. Any updates? Have you ever gotten it to work or seen actual evidence others have? Thank you kindly!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
I don't use T-mobile, I use AT&T so the T-mobile Band 71 wouldn't show with my SIM card. AT&T doesn't use Band 71 and I have no roaming on the AT&T Prepaid plan I use.

I do know we cannot flash T-mobile modem as I was hoping, due to the different RSA encryption LG/T-mobile mandated for the H932 (different from all the other North American variants, for some reason).

But yes, others say they have gotten Band 71 on rooted US998, with T-mobile SIM card using various tricks like the Shortcut Master Lite, etc. I have no way of confirming what they say.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] cstark27:
And more importantly, I don't think anyone has provided definitive proof so I'm just going with misunderstanding on their part until then. :fingers-crossed:
