    Google isn't throwing much up on this one.

    In the last couple of weeks the adhesive on the back cover of my S7 has started to come away. The phone has been largely protected by a UAG case. I do take it off from time to as I can't use a home speaker system I have with the cover in place. It's relatively difficult to remove and I have been concerned the volume and power button buttons may be affected eventually. Otherwise it's in great nick for a 12 month old phone thanks to the case. Would this be covered under warranty or is that even worth attempting?

    Google assistant is closer to Siri, you can ask it random stuff like "tell me a joke" and it will answer. The voice detection seems much better too. In fact I accidentally triggered it while talking to my dad the other day, which is a nice change from having to carefully enunciate "OKAY GOOGLE" into the mic.

    The changes to how power saving works is really annoying. Previously i left the phone in Power Saving mode all the time and turned on Ultra Power Saving when the phone got really low. Turning Ultra Power Saving off put it back into normal Power Saving mode. But it no longer works like that. If i turn off Max Power Saving i have to remember to go back into power saving and re-enable Mid Power Saving. I cant find any way to toggle between the two.

    Does anyone know how to permanently turn off 'OK google' detection? I thought I would try it but after using for a few days, I want to switch it off as it's eating through my battery.

    I've gone into the correct settings under "OK Google" detection but it keeps re-enabling "Say 'OK Google' any time".

    It seems fine for me. I just had a played around with the launcher and went back to nova. Did you clear data in ate AOD app when you installed?

    I installed the s8 launcher, Bixby and the AoD and all three of them kept popping up that they keep stopping so I just spent the last 20 minutes trying to get into es file explorer to delete them.

    I thought I'd bricked my phone.

    Just go in to app settings go to the app AOD or touchwizz top right hand corner click the 3 dots and then click uninstall updates. Should revert back to the old version

    Has anyone come across an issue where calls or messages don't come through even though there is coverage? Over the last few weeks I've noticed it happening with my Edge. Calls or texts don't come through, but the likes of Facebook messager or whatsapp are fine. Then if I make a call I will get a few missed call notifications or messages through all at once. Doesn't happen all the time.

    I would also recommend Anker. Just purchased their fast wireless charger and it's great. Amazon UK. Costs about 15 EUR

    Anker in general do some great products.

    Anker also have good customer service. One of my 6 foot charging cables broke, I contacted them and they sent out a replacement within a few days.

    Got a Zagg Glass Contour for the S7 Edge recently but the cover I have, Obliq Slim Meta, is causing it to raise off the screen. Anyone know of a good reasonably priced cover that is compatible with the Zagg?
