Worked for me when nougat was released.

That worked, I'm 16hrs and have 19% left

Try turn on using recovery mode by pressing and holding Volume Up and Home keys - While pressing these, hold the Power key too.
Navigate to clear cache, clear it and sorted problem for me.

The Samsung S7 Edge seems to be on sale currently and I need a new phone.

I'd be coming from a Nexus 5 which is a plain-vanilla Android install. Would I likely notice or be annoyed by Samsung bloatware or has it gotten better over the years?

I use Nova so I just hide it all. Doesn't bother me because I don't see it.

I've reserved an Edge in Argos as it's on sale. Does the curved screen work better or worse than a standard flat screen? I've seen people complain about glare so wondering if any here have had issues.

My head was wrecked after I updated to nougat. Spent ages looking before I found that post lol.

Any opinions on the pros and cons of the samsung s7 edge and the samsung s8

Should I get an s7 edge or s8

krustydoyle · 23-11-2017 09:10PM

Folks.. Something really odd is happening my S7.. Since the last update the phone doesn't beep for notifications for any apps such as viber/whatsapp

Any idea how to fix that??

Turn phone off. Hold home button and volume up button while then turning the phone on with the lock button. It will boot into a mad looking menu. Use the volume down button to click through the list until you're on clear cache partition and then press the lock button on the right of the phone to select that option, then after that's done click the option to reboot the phone

long_b · 28-11-2017 11:41AM

Getting a prompt for a large software update on Eir. Anyone know what it is?

WexIan · 28-11-2017 04:00PM

I got the October security patch a few days ago from 3

XDA... I had my S7 for about 2 weeks before I rooted it and flashed a ROM into it.

Best one out there for me I think is Superman ROM,gives you loads of options to select before you flash.

Myself too. Was it the security patch? The phone is new so I thought originally it was an Android update and have been holding off but it's on 7.0 - that's the latest on Samsung now, right until Oreo next year?

Think it might have been the security update alright but it was very chunky - about 440MB

Yeah, which is why I thought "Ohh Nougat update!" before I saw I had it. I've just come from a Nexus 5 and the security patches were generally about 60mb (at least until I stopped getting them).
Did you install it and see any difference?

Mooooo · 05-12-2017 02:43PM

Anyone get an S7 screen fixed recently? What cost did it come to?

Mc Love · 27-12-2017 01:45PM

Just received an update dated 30th Nov, does anyone know when we're due to get the update to next android version

Would anyone have any idea why each time I press the home key from an app I have to choose between home apps “touchwiz home” or “touchwiz easy home”? It is driving me nuts.

Anyone ever come across an S7 Edge unable to access the play store , Took it in to pair in the crescent and they reckoned it was an enterprise phone from Samsung UK and nothing could be done with it, Like I can download all the apps I need from the apptoide store I'm just worried I'll run into problems down the line with updates and such

Anybody here notice poor coverage on galaxy s7? It's fine in good areas, but poor in weaker areas. Phone either doesn't ring or nobody can ever hear me when they ring. I have been using an iPhone 6 the last few days & the coverage has been much better in my known weakspots.

This is with any Google account you try to use on the play store? It could just be that the Google account you're using is linked to a college or something, and they have it disabled.

How do people find the battery on the s7 edge phone
