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

[Chris344]

I assume since the thread isn't packed with battery graphs that it must be fairly decent and not a big talking point?

It's a non-issue and very close to my 6s plus

Camera continues to impress, for close up shots of many things it has a depth I didn't get with the Xperia Z3/Z5.

Samsung or Sony sensor?

 

[Chris344]

Wow that's the first time I've seen it like that on a Samsung - not sure if he's on a custom rom or not.

It's always been like this

Thanks buddy. It looks clean and I like the look a lot.

From what I've read, the S7/S7 Edge only supports QC 2.0.

Edit: I believe it's because they are using two different CPUs in production over the world, one definitely doesn't support 3.0 inherently, so they dropped back to 2.0. Kinda a shame if you ask me.

It's is a shame but it was only £9 so it isn't a massive deal, at least I'll have a backup charger if the Samsung fails.

Here's how the carbon skin looks on my s7! Sides fit fine but I prefer it with the back only! can't complain, two skins for £7.50 and delivered in two days

Thats stock Android style, definitely not the usual Samsung style. Changed via a theme maybe?

I can't find or remember where I can adjust the amount of zoom in when I double tap the screen on websites...

Can anyone help on this one please ?

I've got the 6.0 theme and can't seem to replicate it sadly.

 

[kona786]

Double tap then drag for zoom.

Yeah themes don't cover the notification icons sadly. I also dislike the Samsung icons and larger clock.

 

[chaparral]

Double tap then drag for zoom. .

I know you can do that...

But there was a setting somewhere on my S4 where i could choose the amount it zoom in when i double tapped the screen...

EG
125%
150%
175%
200%

So launched the sky news app and my phone stops responding, crashes and reboots. Not good, I'm not used to this happening. What can cause that?

Sky

Enjoying the phone, quite impressed with it.

Also the VR headset

 

[EternalMovement]

Still not received my Gear Vr.

Are you awaiting yours from Vodafone? If so they are still sending them out this week. I received mine yesterday from them. I didn't get a dispatch email or anything from them beforehand. I would chase them up about it if you don't get it tomorrow.

Does anyone know how to stop it from displaying SD card info in the notification sections upon a reboot? Also, how to stop apps advertising their features now and again?

You can block notifications for apps on an individual basis https://www.google.ch/webhp?sourcei...-8#q=android 6 how to block app notifications

This is all easily Google-able stuff...

Surprised that even with 4GB of RAM that Samsung still can't get memory management right.

Surprised that even with 4GB of RAM that Samsung still can't get memory management right.

That is the video I have been waiting for. I was awfully tempted with this phone (see below) with the hardware side but from a usability point of view that is pathetic. No matter how fancy the display, the build, the camera and waterproofing- the whole point of a smartphone these days is that it is a computer in your pocket.

I moved away from Samsung due to this very reason with the S3. I once rooted it with a near stock android ROM Ram management was a peach. Looks like nothing has changed.

It is interesting to see how windows with 4gb of RAM and other android devices don't have to constantly kill apps like touchwiz. I thought unused ram was wasted RAM, what is touchwiz doing with the RAM if not storing apps ready to be used again..!

So basically I'm awfully tempted by this. However, still reports of random touchwiz lag and more importantly with multitasking- apps closing in the background and having to reload again especially games. Sometimes even the stopwatch closes when you have a few apps going. A few videos on youtube showing this, surprised it STILL happens with 4gb of RAM. Anyone care to comment?

Apologies for the rant, this is what led me to iOS.

Ram management looks good here
