I wonder if anyone else is having the same issue as me, I got the marshmallow update last week and the phone was working just fine. Yesterday I got another android update and now my touchscreen barely works without really jabbing at the screen, Typing on the keyboard is virtually impossible.

Any fixes before I send it back?

Make a backup

Then factory reset through the menu and see what happens

Marshmallow update? The phone ships with Marshmallow!

Just looked and it seems you are right, Pretty sure it was lollipop when I first got it lol

That's my next step before sending it back.

Beta Nougat has now officially ended!

The notes say they plan on releasing official OTA in January.

I bought a SIM free S7E, will that mean I get OTA Nougat earlier or am I still at the mercy of my provider (o2)?

mrk · 30 Dec 2016 at 11:15

SIM free = Samsung OTA :cool:

I know its been said before but to confirm our 7.0 beta FW will just be upgraded to the 7.0 official right? Same process as the N6P.

mrk · 30 Dec 2016 at 20:02

Correct, but iirc it will be 7.1.1.

gizmoy2k · 30 Dec 2016 at 20:44

Anyone have adb working on the Nougat beta?

Device is not detected, I cannot seem to find much online

Trying to get Gsam stats working properly

mrk · 30 Dec 2016 at 20:46

Fine here. You need to have USB debugging turned on, and have a fully working ADB on your PC.

I noticed that i can zoom in & out of SMS messages by using the volume up/down buttons on my S7 edge..

But It really annoying me now that this way of zooming in & out does not work for the internet browser....... :mad:

You can also use pinch to zoom as well

That'd be too easy.

Always on display is pretty good now on Nougat, can double tap notification icons and go right into the app in question.

Although, as you can see in the photo above, AOD background appears to be grey and not black, even when set to black. Anyone else get this issue? Ignore the darker band, that's just the screen flicker being captured on camera.[/QUOTE]

Nice, just noticed you have an orange clock. Can you change the colour?

Ignore - found :)

mrk · 1 Jan 2017 at 20:55

Yes, just change the layout setting for AOD! There's a bit for font colour etc.

Just bought the Edge over Christmas.
Have been using iPhones, but I really wanted a big screen and the price of the 7 Plus is just eye watering.
See how the next 12 months of Android goes

Oh, also got the Hauwei Watch to go with it.

But pinch to zoom can be a pain as you sometimes click links by mistake....

Which get even worst after a few beers.......

mrk · 2 Jan 2017 at 10:18

Clicking links by mistake when zooming never happens as it's impossible to do that due to that on Chrome and Firefox. What browser are you using where this is an issue?

It is possible as I done it many times...

Using the S7 edge stock browser..

mrk · 2 Jan 2017 at 10:45

The stock browser has that flaw then, as it's not possible in other browsers like Firefox or Chrome.

Use a better browser
