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

he mentioned lag same old touchwiz i will still try it and see if can see any then will use nova launcher

on my s6 edge, its so much difference when i moved to nova, its like having a different rom the amount of difference it made

I also found the S6 edge to be a bit too laggy here and there even with nova. Apparently Marshmallow has made a big improvement. I'll know on Tuesday!

i had the s6 edge from release day, as soon i started using nova launcher , probably been 8 months and been running super smooth, no hints of any lag,

and tbh i don't expect s7 edge touchwizz to be any different even with marsmallow will soon find out
 
Check this out:


With the wide lens case and the Galaxy 360 camera, you've got a nearly fully fledged cinematic video setup...

The lag was not in the launcher but other aspects of TW. And chrome browser was just a mess on the s6. Very stuttery.
 
I just got off the phone with Vodafone and they're telling me the end of next week now. I guess I'll just have to hang on until then and if it turns up on Tuesday then it's a nice surprise.
 
Don't hold your breath for a Tuesday delivery from Samsung, got this email from them after contacting them.

You could try EZcast. It's a cheap alternative to Chromecast and does not need to go via a router as direct connection via wifi is done.
Need something that doesn't need wifi.

Chromecasts can do both for what it's worth with the right phone config. Do you have a smart tv / miracast supporting unit?
No Smart TV. I travel a lot so sometimes its just a basic TV with a hdmi port and no wifi.

Yeah MHL is slowly dying. Casting wirelessly is the new in thing. The new Nexus phones don't even support it either.

Surely there is something else then that can mirror the phone to any tv, via a hdmi cable?
 
Looked at Chromecast but it seems to be more for streaming, rather than straight mirror of the phone.

Nope, I get perfect 1:1 mirror cast of everything from my S6 in portrait and landscape (games, videos, text messages, emails, desktop, menus) to my TV with Chromecast. Chromecast is awesome!

If that's the case then they must be struggling with the demand.

They use DPD for delivery after all..
 
I'm getting thoroughly trolled by Samsung now, just received an email saying "Soon, the Galaxy S7 edge or S7 will be in your hands".

Still no change on my order status.

Why you so mean Samsung? :(
 
My Samsung order has changed!

The free pen has gone off freebie list and been swapped with GearVR which is showing as “in stock” – Looks like things are hotting up and I expect we will see dispatch updates this weekend.

Mine now has the Gear VR added in the order also.

Just completed my upgrade online, and was informed for a THIRD time, that we would get delivery on the 8th.

I wonder if it has anything to do with not taking up the Vodafone Red/Red Value contract? I'm just on a 'normal' tariff as far as I can see, whereas the Red T&C's state that S7 orders placed before 6th March will get their handsets by 8th March.
