I didn't think the white was avaliable?

Come on Amazon, list the silver.

Keep it held down and drag to disable at the top.

Ah thanks! Is there any other pointless stuff worth disabling?

Yes.

One Note
Excel
PowerPoint
Skype
One drive if you use Google
And a couple of others mainly in the folders

Thanks Also from me for this.....

I use excel but I use Evernote which cancels out Onenote. I do use Onedrive + this morning I got notified we get +100GB for having this phone (for two years).
Must admit, I didn't even notice Skype was on there

 

[Chris344]

No problem. Of course, only disable what you don't use. You can always re-enable them via app manager.

There are a few others too. Worth having a check.

It's a shame you can't remove any of that rubbish rather than just disable it. Are you gonna see any battery life improvement by disabling all the bloat ?

I agree. I'd rather have the space back. Battery life won't change unless using them

Fair play. I'll just leave them enabled incase I ever need to use them then I guess.

A drop by about 30% in the rating follows if you turn on the Always on display Finally,
if you want to use the Edge feeds, which require the screen to keep the capacitive sensors on, you will lose in the whereabouts of additional 7 hours.

Ouch!!!

guess I be leaving them two battery drainers turned off then..

I missed that one

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Gal...476294&sr=1-4&keywords=Samsung+Galaxy+S7+edge

And it is being sold by Amazon and not a third party..

Dispatched from and sold by Amazon

 

[Chris344]

Can anyone help please.

I have a signal box from EE as I get poor coverage at home. However, I can get 1 bar of 4G at home thus the phone seems to prefer this 1 bar of 4G over 5 full bars of 3G from the signal box.

Is there a way I can get the phone to not choose the 1 bar of 4G while at home?

It's a bit cheeky. Do they price match?

 

[Chris344]

Also, does anyone know how to stop the notification about selecting the Samsung keyboard daily? The stock keyboard is my default. Thanks.

Looks like you can choose which network mode it can connect to from these 4 options..

LTE/3G/2G
3G/2G
3G only
2G only

 

[Chris344]

You can choose which network mode it can connect too..

Thanks. I saw that but then I'd have to select 4G everytime i leave home. My iPhone used to select the strongest signal (Signal box) but this edge doesn't seem to.
