I need to keep turning my data off and back on again otherwise browsing the Web hangs and nothing loads. Annoying.

I've found this with my wifi all of a sudden Clov!s.

No idea if it's the latest firmware or not though, seems bizarre as it's just happened all of a sudden.

*EDIT* I've reset my network options (it's in the Backup section of settings) and it seems to have resolved my issue...so far at least.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 now officially features a display scaling setting
http://www.phonearena.com/news/The-...ly-features-a-display-scaling-setting_id80198

Through the latest update for the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge, TouchWiz on Samsung's current-gen flagships now offers a display scaling setting. Essentially, the setting allows you to activate a 'Condensed' display mode that shrinks the on-screen size of the UI elements, allowing for more content to be displayed at any one point.

Note that the Samsung Galaxy S7 update that officialised what was previously a hack is actually the same one that patched touch stability and skewed photos. Samsung just didn't mention the new feature in the changelog, which is why it took a few days for the change to be discovered.




A few weeks ago, it was discovered that Samsung's Android 6.0 Marshmallow implementation includes a dormant display scaling setting. When this setting was initially discovered, the only way to activate it was through a rather complicated process that requires the installation of Nova Launcher and manually accessing the hidden menu. Later, a developer offered a one-button solution which automated the entire process.

Adjusting the DPI scaling setting on the Samsung Galaxy S7 turned out to be a thing that many users are interested in, and, seeing that the feature worked bug-free, it's easy to see why Samsung activated the visibility switch on this setting.

To switch between the 'Standard' and the 'Condensed' DPI scaling setting, just head on over to Settings->Display.

Was talking to Vodafone live chat and they basically just told me I can exchange my S7 for an S7 Edge for exactly the same price plan.

Currently get the S7 with 6gb unlimited calls/sms for £31 p/m (after 20% discount)

I'm going to call them later but I've retained a copy of the chat transcript (he even confirmed several times this is the case), if they don't budge it's straight to their CEO I will go and I won't let this drop as I've had my fair share of woes with them in the past.
 
Checking Samfirmware, the unlocked phones in the UK have not had the BTU/XEU update yet.

I just got my S7 Edge as an upgrade directly from Vodafone and the seal is broken, no visible usage and plastic still on the phone.

I called up to see what's up, they said we do break seals to check the phone and accessories are all in place with these newer devices before they send them out.

Is this the norm these days?

Hey just to let you know I had this too and managed to speak to the handset team directly at Voda UK headquarters and they said this is all OK and was done because Samsung can sometimes be a bit... off with their first deliveries. If you're not happy you can arrange for a replacement but they assured me it's all good. I have asked them to include something in the pack if they do this in the future and to re-seal it or similar to avoid damage going forward, we will see if this gets implemented but i tried :)

Result!

Rang their CS and they advised me I shouldn't have been offered that but they will honor the deal, S7 being collected tomorrow and Edge being delivered! :D
