    I checked mine after seeing this and now I can add a photo the AOD which is brilliant - is it the same for you?

    Does anyone 'wear' the Edge when running? What armband or case do you use?

    hi guys
    Im on of the people that had the Note7 for a brief while before it all went up in smoke...
    so my new replacement phone will be the S7 Edge, should get it next week, now looking for a new cover/case to protect it.
    Im ideally looking for an official Samsung flip style leather (genuine leather) case, but I cant seem to find one....
    so at present I have narrowed it down to:
    Official Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Flip Wallet Cover
    Official Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Clear View Cover Case
    any advice or feedback on either or any reccomendations for a genuine leather wallet/flip style case?

    I used this and find it pretty good

    Anyone know how to a add a location to the clock that is not listed? I know I could just select one within the same time zone but know that would annoy me looking at the always on display.

    So I got my S7 Edge from t-dimension about 3 months ago.

    A few days ago I noticed a vertical pink line appear down the right hand side of the screen.

    It has since gotten worse and is now about 4-5 pixels wide.

    I'm just sending an email to t-dimension about it now so we'll see how good there customer support and warranty is...

    Bit disappointing but I'm hoping they sort it.

    I see this nearly every day at work (Samsung). Samsung will give you a replacement as long as it is a European model. Warranty only valid in the continent it was sold. If it was imported from another continent the only method to get it fixed would be from the point of purchase

    I have contacted t-dimension and they replied pretty quickly saying that they would repair it. The only problem is that I have to send it to them in Hong Kong and it could take up to 4 weeks to repair. They're covering the cost of shipping.

    In fairness that's as good as you can expect. No cost to you and repair under warranty.

    Anyone finding that the phone is unlocking itself in their pocket very easily? I normally just use swipe to unlock but have had to add a pattern unlock to stop it managing to get passed the lock screen and make calls etc, didn't think this was possible due to the capacitive screen


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,777 ✭✭✭sentient_6


    Check settings - display - keep screen turned off

    Supposed to stop screen turning on in your pocket.

    anyone get the OTA latest update? {vodafone}
    Keeps coming up as a reminder and I'm afraid its the one that restricts the battery to 60% - I believe Sammy sent it out to the existing Samsung Note 7 owners that didn't bring back the Note....

    Cool, thanks. It wouldn't be the first time Vodafone made a mistake (with me and this phone, that is)
    So, I just thought would check. :D

    Did the note show notifications for all apps? I wonder why they haven't enabled that on the S7/Edge? That would be brilliant sure it would be an easy change for the S7?

    That's it exactly when I get the last AOD update I assumed it would be the note version of AOD seeing as they were pushing the Edge as the natural replacement for anyone who had to give the note back.

    Seems very odd that they haven't brought across the full functionality. Surely there is no hardware reasons and the fact AOD was built into the S7/Edge from the beginning one would assume it wouldn't be a massive thing to add third part notifications.

    Then again you know what they say about assumptions
