**** The Official Samsung Galaxy S7/Edge Thread ****

[Jabbs]

There was a nice looking angled wireless charging stand that got a pretty good review from somebody on here, Robbie (MRK) maybe?
Not the fugly Samsung round one.

I've done a search but can't find it.

It would need to work with my S7E and the missus' S7

Anyone know which one I'm on about?


Thanks

This one I use has been mentioned on here before.

I've noticed the Always On Display leaving a burn in the screen for a few minutes, anyone had this? Going to turn it off now.

Been using this about a day now and have to say I'm impressed.

Anyone else find the Samsung browser better than chrome? Much faster and doesn't resize text randomly.

I've not seen this myself, but I've only been using it for a few days.. I must say thought, that the new version that moves just a few pixels every minute is much better than the random movements it had before - when you ended up glancing at the phone every time it moved expecting a notification or something.

Dolphin browser FTW!

Dolphin browser FTW!

This is really sad considering I'm into tech, but I've only ever used stock or chrome on android!

I don't bench out my apps as much as I should really. I bet on missing a lot.

Mines not had an update since the one a few weeks back. I'm normally a week or two behind when people start posting they have had an update. Might be a sim free thing?

I haven't had an update for a few weeks either, using a SIM free Edge. The last update I had was the one that included the display scaling, just checked again and it tells me no update available.

So me and my fat fingers have not been getting on with the s7 edge so it's now sold and I am now using a normal s7

 

[xb8browney]

Which network?

It came in the last update.

Three

Great, the woman in the Three store lied them. To my face.

Urgh, really don't want to be carrying around 2 phones. Oh well

A quick way to check before either paying for it, or taking the phone out of the box in the shop next time is that any dual-sim phone will have 2 different IMEI numbers on the barcode sticker of its box.

Anyone know how I'd flash only the modem from the latest UK firmware? There's 5 different files inside the firmware zip, which ones the modem?

People are too paranoid. That was 5 years ago. Who cares if they share what sites I use, what difference does it make?

Because it totally violates the concept of incognito mode?

They've been suspected of sending data to a IP in China before.

If you care so little for your privacy I suggest you continue to use it, but leave others with a modicum of common sense to use something with actual security.

 

[Klunt Bumskrint]

That's fair enough, I never use incognito mode anyway. Are they even doing it anymore? I will do more research into it.

That link is from 3 days ago.

Ive got the Sky Go app up and running on my Edge and although I don't use it very often the few times that I have its been fine.
