My phone is still on G935FXXU1DPLT, from back when I upgraded (manually) to 7.0, will I eventually get an update OTA, or will I have to manually flash using Odin going forward?

I flashed back to stock XEU and it updated automatically

Got a custom slickwrap for my S7 Edge which I was a bit dubious about, however it just came today and it's exceeded my expectation in terms of picture reproduction and quality of the material!

Have to say I've not seen an system update for months, thought it was just quiet. Am I missing something?

On version 6.0.1 G935FXXU1BPH1

I just realised Fast Charge is no longer working on my phone.. Its normally charging over night so dont pay attention to it.. Having googled this it seems a lot of people lost Fast Charge when they upgrade to 7.0.. Does Fast Charge work on your upgraded phone work? (sorry if this has been covered earlier in the thread)

Edit: Wired using Samsung cable/charger.. and yes, the option is enabled under advanced battery settings.

Stopped working for me, I changed cables and it's worked fine again.

Quick question chaps. I'm going to use my S7 Edge to video myself tonight on a gig. Phone on mini tripod placed to my left at about waist height and will probably use the front/selfie camera to monitor myself visually. Is there any difference in visual quality from the main camera, and do both cameras record in stereo?

The rear camera is quite superior, if you're on a tripod and have the storage/backup battery options go for 4K!

Samsung browser has just been updated, it was quick before but now it's lightning quick.

In the Play Store?

I had been off Wi-Fi for 2 days but when I reconnected, it auto updated the Samsung browser so it should be on the play store.

The symbol has changed too and a few added features.

My s7 edge screen is scratched really badly.

Any solutions apart from changing screen?

Don't fancy spending £200

How deep are they? Just surface scratches? Try a glass scratch remover.

One is a bit deep, the rest not visible unless the screen is off. Saw some reviews of one cleanser on Amazon they said it worked on gg3

Anyone know where the cheapest place to buy a new simfee or paygo S7 is in the UK is?

Seeing as I look like I'm going to have to flash back to XEU anyway to get updates, what is this ROM like? Specifically things like camera, audio quality, smoothness/performance compared with stock?

Camera and battery are aweful. But I don't need great performance on either. The rest is very good, much quicker than stock.

I got bored and moved onto superman ROM, which is a modified stock ROM, so camera is the same, bit better battery and runs a little slicker.

Thanks mate. I don't think I'll bother then. The camera is important to me, and frankly, I wouldn't want less battery than I have now.

Got an firmware update today, three branded s7 edge.

Now on April 2017 security patch

Silly Goose On The Loose · 14 Jun 2017 at 11:04

I don't understand why the BTU firmware always seems to be behind the carrier firmwares on security patches.
