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

Is anyone else having issues with the Samsung Backup service? It's meant to take full phone backup every 24 hours with phone plugged in on WiFi. But I tried to do a manual backup and it just errors with generic "Server Connection Failed" message. I am on EE with an S7 Edge.

Tried restarting phone and wiping the Samsung Cloud cache. Still get the error. Bugging me as like knowing all my settings etc are backed up. I emailed Samsung and they asked me to send the log file to them but using the below instructions I just get an error "invalid MMI code" when I attempt to dial in that keypad combination.

You on the beta ?

Been few reports it not working on beta
 
Just the default dialler app. And no not on beta either. Got latest firmware on phone from Samsung.

Be interesting to see if anyone else gets same issue here. Could be server problem. Can anyone get it to work right now?

Edit: Dialler app I use is called "Contacts" - assuming default?

Update: Adding an asterix to start of code fixes that particular issue so I can atleast generate log now. But be good to know if other people get same issue with Backup atm on S7.

Yep that's what I get. When you say you are on beta.. do you have to manually download that or something? I just got latest update from Samsung automatically on phone but get same as you.

Edit: Just read up on beta process. So no I am on current release firmware and get same Backup issue. Guess prob might be with Samsung server?

I signed up for the beta test the other week but haven't heard anything. Do they send you an email or are you meant to check somewhere?
 
What protective cases are people using?

I've got a speigen one but it's cracked at the bottom somehow while sitting in my pocket after about 4 months.

I use a wireless charger so compatibility is essential but I'd also like some protection.

I did have a thin flip style case prior but I found it didn't fold away well or stay shut so it bugged me.

Any recommendations? :)
 
I went to install the Samsung Members app to send some beta feedback but it says "This item is not available in your country". I'm in the UK, any ideas??

Got the Ringke Slim in black, very nice profile and provides sufficient grip.

Looks like Belkin are first to the market with a 15W Qi charging pad. No surprise at the price given it's a Belkin. Gonna get one in I think.

Considering I've measured the wired fast charge current at 12W, I expect the 15W Qi to be the same speed at charging, so saving an hour over existing fast wireless.
 
Remember the Samsung one was also 60 at launch, so expect it to be half that in a few months.
 
I just got prompted to download a 48MB update for the Samsung browser on v6. Haven't had much time to use it yet, but it now has a feature to easily manage extensioms and there's a button that takes you back to the top of the page. I've really missed that feature since moving over from iOS!
