Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge

Installed Oreo on my regular s7 and ended up bricking my entire phone ðŸ˜¡
I ended up having to wipe the entire phone and start fresh to fix it !
Update itself seems to be fine, the process of getting it, not so much !

It's hardly the battery warning notification? Pops up on mine occasionally but disappears quickly.

Bingo!

Sounds like you were more interested to know what it was than me!

Haha, I was looking through App settings and turned out I had it disabled myself... then noticed the icon and said I'd let you know.

Does the Google assistant recognise music work for anyone else?
Mine listens for the song ok but has never got a match, thought it might work on Oreo but it's still useless. I even did a fresh install.

Are you serious? :pac:

What carrier is the phone?

I assume you've manually checked for the updates too?

Why don't you manually install Nougat or Oreo yourself via Odin.

Very easily done using method like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qis2ML8A2Bw

Received another update just there. Presumably to fix this issue. About 180mb so quick to install.

Hi guys, I am looking to buy an S7, seen this one on Amazon, works out about €340. Would this be advisable rather than forking out €500 in a shop in Ireland? Any advice would be appreciated.

Spend the extra and get an S8.

Guy:Incognito · 23-05-2018 08:28PM

Anyone know is the edge any cheaper to get a screen repaired on now that it's a couple of years old? Missus had one for about 6 months and there's damage on the front and back. Thinking of spending the money and getting it fixed.

enviro · 23-05-2018 09:24PM

I've been quoted €299 and €250 by local phone repair shops last week.
There could be cheaper options though, I didn't price around for alternatives.
Brand Lab on ebay do a screen replacement service for about €120, you must send the device to the UK and also only available if there are no dead pixels or blackspots , so they are just changing the other layer of the screen and not the complete LCD I would suggest.

Folks, I've been getting an error message on my S7 since last night when I charge it saying as below:

'Check Port
Moisture has been detected. To charge your device , make sure your charger/ USB port is dry'

Phone charges for 10 mins or so and then error comes up and it won't charge anymore. So far I've tried power off and on again, also system settings and clear USB port cache and not luck.

Anyone have any suggestions to get this sorted. Phone hasn't got wet or anything of the sort so not idea why I'm getting this error. Charger seems fine too. Pain in the hoop.

Cool, I'll try that and if that doesn't fix it I'll get on to Tesco Mobile, phone is only 6 months old

skerry · 28-05-2018 11:10PM

Tried blowing out port as suggested.. ..no joy. Charges for about 10 seconds and then that stupid error comes up.

Might chance a factory reset and if that fails it's back to the shop

Did you try stick it in a bag with a few dehumidifier sachets or rice etc.?

Happened me before on old my S7 Edge and also on my friends S7. Pain in the hole but it does happen.

I'll try the rice thing later this evening and maybe leave it powered off in a warmish room (shouldn't be hard to find one today.....scorchio)

I wouldn't mind if I actually got it wet but its been nowhere near water so no idea why I'm getting this error. Feicin things are supposed to be water resistant either way.

Seen a few threads about it in other forums and its a common issue and sounds like a dodgy software or maybe hardware thing.
