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

How many people are using good lock and whats your favourite bit about it?

I'm only now getting round to checking it out and before I install I was wondering if it is worth it or not. Can anyone point me in the right direction of a good guide?
 
Add me to the list of people experiencing the dreaded 'mediaserver' battery drain on my s7, but I have only really noticed it since the last update. My overnight idle battery drain has at least doubled and my current battery stats since I took it off charge before work this morning show Mediaserver at 37%, Android System at 23% and Screen at 8% :(

I have cleared Chrome cache, force stopped the app and rebooted to see if it helps, if not then next stop is to format my SD card I guess...

I use it and love it. Looks like stock android and I much prefer it. It's also customizable which is great. Some people have reported battery drain issues, but since I've installed it, I've had zero drain issues.
 
Jinxed!

Mere days after I post about the Samsung fast wireless chargers being fine but only when used with the Samsung mains adapter, my USA sourced fast charge stand has started to fail! With the power connected the blue LED flickers randomly, and when the phone is placed on it, the charging starts and stops multiple times repeatedly.

I can’t really send it back as it was a free review sample.

The pad based wireless fast charger at home is working fine however, so I think it’s a fault with my unit.

I think I will just buy a Tronsmart or Choetech wireless fast charger to replace it with.

It doesn't happen with Chrome dev or Samsung browser.

I looked at this a while ago and was immediately put off by the horrid pink UI it had. I was led to believe I could change this, but couldn't see for the life of me a way to do it.

I've just got a couple of normal wireless chargers now, one for home and one for work, so I'm no longer concerned about battery life as most of the time its over 80% now! They're both upright chargers too which is handy for a sneaky browse at work ;)

Go into settings for Good Lock and select routines and you can change the colour scheme from there.

Yeah but man why have they made it so difficult to actually pick colours you want. It's like a bloody puzzle game lol.

Got my S7 Edge coming today. Got the phone free on a £35.99 a month tariff for unlimited minutes & texts and 5GB data. Hoping it's a good upgrade from my Note 4! I'm tempted to pick up one of the wireless chargers, anyone care to recommend one? It must be a fast charger.

I can really only recommended the genuine Samsung one, I have 2 of them (one flat regular and an upright fast charger one), the fast one was on hukd there for 14.99 from o2 ebay shop, mine just arrived yesterday, definitely worth a look as it's rrp is closer to £40.

I also have an Anker charger that was a tenner, it can be temperamental sometimes especially with the Samsung wall charger, I find it can't cope with the 2A flow, with a 1A charger it works a treat, albeit slow.
