Not sure what I'm doing wrong, fully charged at 3 today, at 15% now
Edit; 1.34 am

Battery life on mine is amazing!

Did you check the battery stats to see what is draining most of the battery? Rapid battery drain is often caused by apps.

A factory reset can also fix these issues. I know it's a pita doing that though.

Not happy with this, rebooted 2 time's. Not happy at all and just stumped. Closed all the apps et al. Still draining.

Going to drain completely. Didn't do that out of the box.
Will charge fully and see what happens.
Must check then, knowing it will be no different....

Totally dead this morning, sending it back Monday, replacement to follow 2 days later
Edit: 9% going to sleep. Shouldn't have drained completely in 6 hrs

Anyone using the Otterbox symmetry on there S7 edge? I was wondering about getting the black case for my gold edge thoughts?

It's a great case. I have it on my s7 edge since I bought it and I'm happy enough. It does take away from the form of the phone a little and it's obviously not as nice in hand compared to no case but if you're looking to protect the phone you can't go wrong.

As for the black on gold I can't help you there. I specifically got a black s7 edge just so that clash wouldn't occur.

Third party site too. Still says processing. Fingers crossed I will arrive with no charges. Ordered on Monday 6th of June.

Any update on your shipping yet? No word on mine! I ordered Weds 8th June

Edit: I contacted them through the chat on their website and they say order has been shipped this morning and they will send on tracking info when available... I'm clearly just being impatient!

My tracking number came quite late. I emailed them to ask for it (they are quite responsive during Hong Kong office hours). I think they have to ship from Hong Kong first to the UK, then it gets a tracking number for DPD.

Once I got the tracking number it was here in 2 days.

So you're saying it'll arrive reallllll soon :D:D Smashed my Xperia Z3 up roughly two weeks ago and my patience with this old HTC is wearing thin!

Well my replacement Zagg glass contour arrived today for my Edge. Fitted perfectly and looks pretty good. Slight clicking alright when typing fast but barely noticeable to be honest.

Just hope it stays on okay when I put my case back on!!

Got an email with the tracking number today around the same time I missed the delivery. Must collect tomorrow and will update when I have my hands on it! No mention of customs on tracking number website or on failed delivery receipt.

I got my my refund today as i was afraid of the clicking. Badly need a new case before I put any new protector on too.

Actually finding it pretty good so far.

Case fits well with it on so far, no lifting.

I ordered from t-dimension on Saturday night, still says it processing but i am hopeful it will be delivered this week(UK address)
I think the largest size anywhere is 32GB, it has a micro-sd slot anyways so can beef up the storage that way.
I am investing in a case for the times when i think a night will be messy or etc.
And considering a wireless charger but not sure which one, looking through amazon for a few so might just go by reviews.

So was delivered on Friday to my work place and picked it up today and love it
Box comes sealed, with asian plug, with uk converter.
Fast charge works using this converter, but should i use it?
Is it safe to use a foreign fast charge with a plug converter?

Any questions on it feel free to ask.

Ya I used it in Insomnia yesterday. Wouldn't work in Tesco immediately prior to that though

Just bought the S7 from Three for €519 on a 24-month contract and a monthly tariff of "unlimited calls to any network in ROI, 5GB of data per for €19.37 per month."

However, will it be a 4G or a 3G service? And does it matter much? (I'm based in Dublin)

That sounds very dear.

Interesting. I thought it was a good upfront price given that the monthly repayment is only €19.37. Here's a comparison price from Meteor, or this from Vodafone. €19.37 x 24 = €464.88 + €519 = €983.88/24 = €41 per month over 24 months (including new S7). Where is cheaper?

Got mine for €530 online sim free from t-dimension. Not tied into any contract.

But would you spend less than €20 a month anyway? I've been spending €40 a month with Meteor so really moved just to cut that monthly bill by half, and that €519 was the cheapest S7 I could find.

Ya as stated, people ordered from T-Dimension and so far no problems on the phone or even the shipping itself. open lock not tied to any network and contract
