    my s7 edge goes mental when I plug it in to charge at night. freezes, last night had to be restarted twice, every other time it just goes unresponsive, audio playback will stop, then eventually it'll just go back to normal when it's done updating stuff :(

    FYI did the update earlier, my fast charging has stopped working :(
    WTF Samsung! First my note 7 has to go back and now my edge s7 loses fast charge after a software update!

    Forget it, I found a pin bent on my official Samsung fast charger (micro usb) :/ that's a bit crazy after only a weeks use.

    Sorry for the long post...

    Something is eating up my storage space on my s7 edge. It started yesterday out of the blue, everything going slow with warnings in notifications saying space criticaly low. So I deleted podcast addict with 2gigs of podcasts etc. Everything was ok for a couple of hours, then the same message again. So this morning I had a notification on google photos "want to save space,delete 2000 pictures from device already backed up". Did that and had 2 gigs free, checked out 20 mins later and it was only a gig and now I'm getting warnings again

    Try this app below, it will visualise what's taking up space in your phone and help find the culprit.

    Got any notifications of anything syncing?

    Cheers,
    The latest now is looking like a fresh reset. I rebooted earlier to see what storage it would show after and it got stuck in a loop. It eventually booted up and looks to be in some kind of safe mode,icons and texts are bigger,apps have lost all their permissions and the keyboard is back to stock. So frustrating i dont know how it all started

    Anyone else find the charging plug a little loose in the port? Nothing major and not falling out by any means but there's room for it to wiggle left and right. No issue now but I don't want to wait till I have an issue if it should be tight

    No, it should be stiff and somewhat difficult to insert into the port. There should be no room for movement when charging.

    Tried it earlier on with no success. Servers down for everyone at the moment. Might only be starting next week or later.

    Beta supposedly starting today but I still have the same issues as before on BTU CSC.

    It's gone live in Korea and somewhere like Vietnam or Thailand going by the language so should start here soon I'd reckon.

    Do you need to use a VPN in the UK to register? I keep getting server error.

    I'd say even if we don't get picked it should be possible to flash it in the next couple of days. No sign of it on UK servers yet anyway.

    I read about the AOD and apparently it is like the Note 7.
    Didn't know about the blue filter light though.
    Beta is not compatible with the Gear VR in case you use that.
