Anyone interested in my s7 edge before I put it on adverts? Like new SIM free not a scratch on it. Going to get pictures when ive a bit of free time tomorrow. Feel free to pm.

I would send that back for sure. It's supposed to be fixed, not have additional damage.

Anyone get a 30MB BTU update today? Just popped up on S7 Edge this afternoon.

I'm actually thinking of selling my Edge as well, I'm fed up with the edge panel. It is a pain in the ar5e. Must have a look on adverts to see what I could get for it.

Just got my phone back from a warranty repair (the back glass came away from the phone). They also replaced the screen as it had a vertical green line on it.
My new repaired screen now has a black dead zone.

Would it be cheeky to send it back again?

Thinking of upgrading mine too, what's a fair price for these in perfect condition?

Yeah I found a s8 t a decent price so will be selling her s6 edge and my s7 edge shortly. I'd say around the 350 to 400 mark depending on what it comes with etc.

I meant the actual screen itself

Another update available for BTU firmware. 260mb.

Only difference I can see is Samsung Pay is now promoted with a notification.

I installed this update and since then, my home screen icons are shifted down a little. See the screenshots below.

Received the 1st July security update last night. Will this phone ever be updated to 7.1?

What features from 7.1 do you need?

Is it normal to have battery issues after just 17 months? In the past few weeks I've noticed the battery draining a lot quicker and now when it's around 35-40% it will just die completely. When I plug it in it says it's 0%.

Can you get a replacement battery if it comes to it?

Yes, you can contact Samsung and get your battery replaced for free.

Just sold mine for the price I paid for it 3/4 months ago. Time to try an s8 .

biebiebie · 14-08-2017 12:17PM

Looking for your valuable advice please.

I'm considering buying the S7 Edge due to the price dropping since the S8.

Considering the S7 Edge is 1 year old plus some, would owners recommend this phone?

I've done loads of reading on XDA and on this thread but too many pages to read them all.

What is battery life like nowadays?
About how many hours screen on time are you getting on 4G?

Have owners experienced many hardware issues? E.g. pink line on the screen?

Should I buy?

The price difference is the reason I'm going to the s8. For me there's only 160 euro of a difference in the price of the phones and I feel I can justify that with my usage and know that it is more future proof.

Mine had excellent battery life, 4g and GPS always on, around 1.5-2 days til battery low.

I heard the edge itself is supposed to be a pain in the arse. Crappy palm rejection. Maybe they've fixed it in recent updates.

Really? Is this still true?

How cheap is the S8?
The S7 edge can be bought for €440 brand new.

I got my s7 edge for 380 brand new. Sold it for 380 and another 20 for an otterbox I had. S8 for 559 on adverts sealed brand new.

JackieChang · 14-08-2017 11:00PM

I'm looking for an S8 on adverts too. This one can only be used with Vodafone or abroad. Any idea why?

rizzee · 14-08-2017 11:35PM

I wouldn't look at it twice and instead just pay the extra 120 or so for something with a shop receipt that's sim free.

That ad just sounds dodgy . Although a reputable seller but I would leave it.

Same here. The "works abroad" bit was making me suspect IMEI barred, but that would surely mean it wouldn't work on Vodafone either.

biebiebie · 14-08-2017 11:46PM

Yeah sounds suspect.

There may well be a logical explanation. But if so then why not provide that info in the advert?

flangemeistro · 15-08-2017 08:48AM

Do any of you actually use Adverts or know how it works?
This guys feedback is exemplary, he's not going to risk tarnishing that with one Dodgy phone.

If you have a query about the phone make him a €1 offer so you can DM him and ask whatever you need to know.

Darren 83 · 15-08-2017 09:09AM

He probably got the S8 on upgrade and selling it on which is why it only works on Vodafone/abroad, His feedback says it all really.

Vahevala · 15-08-2017 10:42AM

Personally speaking I wouldn't ever buy a second hand phone, I guess I worry that it could be blocked and all you are left with is a brick. Approach with caution I suppose.

Hence why you can check feedback on Adverts.ie and be reassured.

The seller is selling an iPhone because he wants an S8 on Vodafone, yet his second advert is selling an S8 on Vodafone. Am I missing something? Definitely sounds a bit dodgy. Better to buy it new for additional 100 for warranty purposes alone.

Ya and start pricing a new tin foil hat also because a guy with 350 something positive feedback is clearly "Dodgy"

ct5amr2ig1nfhp · 15-08-2017 03:53PM

Tin foil hat - are you some conspiracy theory nut?
Accounts get hacked all the time. The contradictory adverts don't help.

Anyway, this is going way off topic. Enough from me on the seller.
