Has anyone gone and stuck the stock UK Firmware on their phone yet? Would that affect Knox on the phone?

Tempted to do mine as can't be asked waiting for slow updates from Vodafone.

I've done it...stuck XEU on however and that hasn't had the update yet so going to revert to BTU.

Although to be honest I'm unsure how readily available the update has been for 'flat' S7's, which is why I'm trying the switch to see if it forces it.

I'm on Vodafone also, easy to do and won't mess anything up provided you follow the instructions. :)

Got the S7 flat and enjoying the device but have noticed the fingerprint reader has roughly a 50% failure rate. I've added both thumbs twice, I'll try adding the same finger four times to see if it improves.

I know most people are happy with the fingerprint reader but its been pretty bad for me, when it works its great but finding it very hit and miss, I even have my thumb registered four times and doesn't always work.

I do get slightly dry skin so wonder if that is making any difference, maybe a few tiny bits of rough skin at times mess with it?

Think I'm going to delete all four and start again.

I have skin like a rhino and my fingerprint scanner works pretty well. The heart rate monitor not so much.

Register it from every angle, including upside down.
 
I'm the other way. I would like the EE firmware so I can use wifi calling and calls over 4G but don't have a clue what I'm doing. Any decent guides?

Thanks. I do use moisturiser though so I'm wondering if its the difference between them being dry and not dry at times, never found my 5X to be this sensitive, will have to experiment.
 
I've been trying to run my battery down all evening and despite playing a movie at max brightness it seems to amazingly sip battery yet casually using it for other more standard tasks like web browsing or Facebook or another app it seems to drain more :D

I'll get the screen shot up but I got almost 7 hours SOT which I've not got on any smartphone for a long time, I think from memory my old Z3 did a tad better at times when it was on KitKat
