**** The Official Samsung Galaxy S7/Edge Thread ****

FYI for folks using Condensed Display Scaling - anything using fingerprint sign-in like Android Pay or Natwest doesn't work. For some reason the software sees display scaling as a security risk.

It does work, you just need to put it back to standard to install it, then you can condense it again afterwards. I've tried it and it works fine.

That's good news but it doesn't work on the Natwest app. I turned off condensed display, then rebooted, enabled fingerprint in the app, confirmed it worked, then set to condensed and rebooted. It asks for the fingerprint and then tells me that I can't continue and must use passcode instead.
 
Does anyone know about upgrading with EE? I'm due an upgrade at the start of June, but I want to go on that S7 Edge EE contract for £33.50/month through a third party company, will I have to wait till my contract end date in July?
 
What would people offer for a brand new sealed 32GB Edge in Gold? Work colleague is asking £450 but I might go in with a cheeky offer, no idea where the best "new from a shop" deals are!

Sounds about right - decent price for unlocked. Wont find much cheaper if any.

One on the MM now going for £480.
 
Think mines developed a fault, call quality is crackly 50% of the time if not more despite good signal, could it be a network/ simcard faulty possibly?

I have the NatWest online banking app but I can't see where to enable fingerprint sign-on. Could you tell me where the setting is please?

Edit: ah! I just needed to update the app from the play store. Thanks.

turned my phone over last night and noticed i have some how cracked the lens on the back camera :( not sure how! I haven't dropped it or anything. luckily its only a single crack and you can only see it on photos when the light catches it.

Has anyone had this happen to them? how did you go about fixing it? i have seen a youtube vid it looks easy enough to fix with the right tools, not sure if I am feeling brave enough.

I have gone years without even a cracked screen and then this a month after getting my new phone.
 
Not sure if it's been mentioned and I'm not going through the whole thread either. Radio ad for Carphone Warehouse saying they have an exclusive on the Titanium Silver model.
 
I am having issues with the alarm not going off in the morning.. It seems to only happen when the phone is not on the charger, and so far I have only tried with Alarm Clock Plus (which worked fine on my old S4), but will give the stock alarm a go to see if it is any better..

I have disabled "App power saving" for the app, but it made no difference.

I have come across others with the same problem, and it seems to be down to the new "Doze" functionality introduced in Android v6..

Anybody else having the same problem?
