    phone is crashing some nights when I plug it in beside the bed.. and then it restarts with brightness on 100% on that awful three logo, blinding me in the dark :D can someone link me to where I can read about flashing firmware stuff to get rid of the three branding?

    id like to put on the nougat beta too to get the faster finger print scanner too if that's a real thing, wrecking my buzz with the long delay at the moment. been retrying the beta app but i might just do it through odin if I don't get in

    I got an ikea one. Think it was 35 yo yos,but you can also plug in a USB into it at the same time,so it charges my phone & eyepad at the same time. I find it brill.

    I had 2 of these for my Note 7 before it got returned, Samsung Fast Wireless Charger.

    The fast wireless charging is great, the only thing of note is that when you have fast charging turned on the fan in the charging unit makes a small amount of noise so I had one beside the bed which I only charged at normal speed as the fan noise can be annoying at night. The one on my desk in work is always on fast though.
    Definitely worth it.

    Has anyone been able to get the Nougat Beta working in the last few days? I've tried a few times but the app keeps giving me a server error.

    An S7 has exploded in a Canadian man's hand. I suspect it was a rogue app overheating the phone rather than a flaw with the phone itself or the OS.

    Still, not good new for Samsung after the Note 7 and washing machine recalls.

    no completely bone stock only ever updated when it asked me to. Just from googling I have the boot loop issue apparently. I have a lot of stuff to do today so will just leave it off and hope it fixes itself

    I know the reply is too late but updato.com has them with better download speeds than samfirm. They do take longer for newly released firmwares to be available though I think.

    I got it through that site in the end.

    Currently stuck on "NAND Write Start!!" on odin for at least half an hour.

    Not sure what to do whether I should plug it out and try again or leave it longer...

    Got it to finish flashing just AP, didn't help

    Just did BL AP and CP, same thing where it's not working.

    Is my only course of action to try it with CSC too, and lose everything?

    The Samsung micro USB mains charger is an official Samsung product for charging your Samsung device. It outputs 2 amp for ultra fast charging and comes complete with a detachable USB charging cable. Made from the highest quality materials and to the strictest standards it is ideal as a spare or replacement charger.


    If it isnt a fast charger after their description ill be returning it.

    Has anyone found there micro USB socket has went loose to the extent that if the lead isn't in a specific spot it won't charge. Tryed new leads so it's not them.

    Would this be a warranty thing. Phone isn't even a year old with night and sometimes day charging

    When I plug it in it clicks but it definitely 'wiggles' a little. No charging issues but mine is only 2-3 months old... it'll probably cause issues. I've already been looking at wireless chargers as a work around :/

    Has anyone on here flashed any custom roms? Even stock based ones or the beta program (I see it can be got on xda).

    I have to be honest, im a little bit annoyed with the laggy performance, simply not good enough from what is allegedly the premium flagship of 2016.
