Ah okay. In that case you could try clearing your private data and retry entering your log in details and fingerprint again. I must say...it didn't log me in first attempt. Second attempt and any attempt therein was fine.

There is a theme called Android 6.0 for me its the best one yet and looks even bette than Material Dark

Oh cool will try that out in a bit, currently timing a 5-100% charge on fast wireless 
Wired took 1hr 40mins exactly pretty much.
Edit*
2hrs 40mins on wireless fast charge.

Side by side comparisons show that the Exynos 8890 is more powerful than the Snapdragon 820:

I am running that theme too, with a Mars live wallpaper it looks pretty nice IMO.
Apparently you can enable adoptive storage on S7 without root... http://www.androidauthority.com/adoptable-sd-storage-samsung-galaxy-s7-s7-edge-679356/
However I just don't think it's a good thing due to average SD card performance which will slow things down considerably.

Sync (pro) or Replay (pro) imo. Or the new Boost beta is looking promising.
A screenshot or two would be nice for us who are still on the fence about getting an S7E.

"Android 6.0" theme is not as pleasing on AMOLED as the Material Dark theme. Too white.
Relay Pro cannot be beat. I've used all the popular ones both paid and free and Relay just works better in terms of UI and features.
First time user of Google Launcher, much preferred over the standard

Very interesting considering the better scores achieved by the Qualcomm in the benchmarks. I'd be curious to see some gaming side-by-side; a post further up here showed the Exynos GPU really losing out to the 820 in benchmarking.
I just ran 3DMARK SLingshot and got 2168. An 820 gets around 2197 http://www.trustedreviews.com/opinions/snapdragon-820-vs-snapdragon-810
Negligible difference!

Seen a massive improvement on my S7's battery after switching off 4G. It would appear my office is a massive deadspot for Vodafone's 4G coverage and after unplugging at 7am this morning I have 90% at this time of the day.
The constant searching for a signal must have prevented Doze from fully kicking in and turning off 3G seems to have solved it, in my office at the very least.

Does anyone know how to change the status icons and have WiFi display on its own without showing 4g over the top of it?

My replacement device has been delivered today so looking forward to getting it set up again after work. Hopefully the turning off smart stay makes the camera work perfectly at least until there is a fix.
Got a screenshot of what you mean?
WiFi will take priority and the mobile data signal will not show.
seems to be faster than the samsung unit provided, may have to buyer a fast wireless charger now
