    No problem at all with a cover. I left mine on the desk for a couple hours but I didn't put it in the pocket for about 12 hours.

    I also both a 360 cover does the job and even with the screen protector the screen touch works perfect

    I haven't scratched a phone screen since I had a Nokia 3210 and have never used a screen protector.

    Are they really needed these days?

    Anyone having issues setting a password for a mobile hotspot? Can enable it for the hotspot to be open but can't set a password with wpa2 psk. Doesn't give me an option to add a password

    I've ran out of patience trying to get anything done using the mobile hotspot. I think it might be down to the Three network instead of the phone.

    I'll have a 4G connection on my phone, then I set up the hotspot and within seconds its gone!!!

    Try using a USB cable? I don't think you need a password for that?

    I haven't had any problems using my phone as a mobile hotspot, just works, I'm on Vodafone.

    I think the issue is 3. I have a work phone that is on emobile as well. Both are with me as I travel around and the 3 network is absolutely dreadful in comparison.

    If I had changed my work number from emobile over to 3 when I was getting the phone (it was an option I considered) there's no way I could do business on it.

    My work phone (7 edge) is on Vodafone and my personal phone (6 edge) is on Tescomobile, there is no comparisson between the 2 networks, Tesco Mobile is like the dark ages, if it wasn't for the fact that I'm on €25 unlimited on Tesco I'd have moved years ago.

    Just checked there, just turned on the hotspot and touched the password and was able to change it, if I go into more I get the option to change the security settings and stuff.

    I was going to finally purchase the wireless charging windscreen mount for this as they're around £45 on eBay at the minute. Is there any overheating issue with having these constantly wirelessly charging when full or will I need to install a switch so I can switch off the charging at times?

    With regard to wireless charging ,will the phone charge through a leather cover ?

    Something strange is after happening my S7 edge! This morning, I noticed that the time display was green. Thought nothing of it, and I was using the phone throughout the day with no issues.
    Got home from work and took the phone out to answer a call, and my screen was all distorted with green colours, like I had dropped it or something even though I havent dropped it all.

    Just did a factory reset and screen is fecked. Can't use it! Will Samsung repair it even if I bought it from an Amazon seller?

    I'm going to submit a claim through Ireland, even though it technically came from Italy.
