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

I'm getting this while its on charge with AOD or side clock is on ...if those are off it doesn't do it ...time for the service centre I think

Damn, luckily I don't use AOD, so can wait until new phone.

I don't usually ..but I do use the edge when I'm away ...think this is going to have to wait till after go away end on January

Then to find little S4 mini that's the household backup phone :(

*Update Just rang service centre if new screen needed then 1-2 hours or at the latest next day

I wouldn't choose the Edge again. The Edge panels offer nothing for me, but the amount of times it has registered a false touch when I'm holding the phone in landscape orientation makes me want to throw it.

My thoughts exactly. The edge is not being used, and its annoying when holding the phone in one hand as it registers the grip as a touch.. Only good for 1) the additional battery 2) it looks nicer.

If the S8 follows the edge design of the Note 7 it won't be a problem

I didn't trip the edge screen once on my note 7 compared to S7E(quite a few) I've since learnt to hold it different ;)
 
Having seen the Nokia 8 specs and quick videos of it, I think I may sack off the S8 idea and go for the Nokia 8.

- Snapdragon 835
- 6GB RAM
- 128GB + SD card
- OIS+EIS 3.0 24MP camera
- Nokia TANK build quality that we have been used to from old skool Nokias (HMD = the same guys who ran the Nokia of old anyway, and Nokia have board level decision making at HMD)

The things I want to see confirmed before I decide are:

- IPX rating
- Fast wireless charging
- Theme engine to be able to install a Material theme like I have on the S7
 
For some reason my fast charge seems to have stopped working. Nothing has changed with the charger. Looking at the settings soon as I take the charger out fast charge becomes enabled.

Anyone any ideas?

Try a different cable, mine did the same when I used the wrong cable by mistake

No AMOLED though :(
 
Hi all, I am a little stuck I had to send my S6 for repair via my insurance. However they have said they cannot repair and must offer me a replacement. They do not have another S6 64gb though and have offered me a iphone 6s, Z5 or HTC 1m10 32gb. What do I do? The Z5 does look like it compares but I really loved my s6.

What would everyone else choose or try to do?
