Just all of a sudden I can't make any app a device admin. It's not greyed out. Just doesn't register the click. Google yields varying results.

That's interesting, I've noticed a big drain with Android OS as well recently, might have to give this a try. Was looking in to it a little further, apparently going to apps and resetting app permissions under apps can help a lot. Just did this myself will report back with any findings.

twospirits Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Well, I no longer have the S7 Edge. This past weekend, as I was entering the house, a big gust of wind slammed the storm door against me. Making me loose my grip on the S7E and it (like in a slow motion scene) fell on to the edge of the stairs and destroyed the display. aarrgghh.

Luckily besides a scrape on the frame and a slight crack near the earpiece the screen itself is unharmed. Guess you'll be moving onto an S8+? Might be my goto soon, Note 8 isn't looking too promising. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twospirits Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Well that same Saturday, I went to the store and was debating between fixing it, replacing it with another S7 Edge or move on to the S8+. I really wanted to hold out for the Note 8, but Miss "I'm throwing you a curve ball" Life lady got in the way. So I now have the S8+. Ironically, I didn't think much of the S8 or the S8+ when they were unveiled, but after using it for a few days, I have to take back my words and say, it really is quite impressive.

TS Awesome to hear, that's why I never went to the S7 or S7 Edge it just wasn't worth it, both performance and feature wise my Note 5 stays right with the 7 series. But the 8 I would hope is a lot better, maybe I'll go check it out soon I am getting that itch, and plus I never use the spen anyway lol. How are you liking the battery life of the +? better than the S7 Edge? Edit - Well the temptation got to me, just put in my order for the S8+, it will be here tomorrow. Good deal online no activation fee so it was $82.24 out the door, also ordered a case on Amazon for $15 which will be here tomorrow as well. Not a bad $100 spent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an S8+ and it's a nice phone, "standby time" is excellent. On a full charge just before bedtime and 9 hours later the battery is still at 100% (I'm hardly even using it). Unfortunately, I had to switch carriers because of my daughters, one is working and the other is going to start college where Sprint doesn't have good coverage, that's the only reason. The town where I live, Sprint is faster than Verizon.

Galaxyguy Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Does anyone know why Sprint stopped updating the software version page for the S7? I've also noticed this for other models too. They haven't updated these for a few months now. Below is the link to the page for the S7. https://support.sprint.com/support/article/Find-and-update-the-software-version-on-your-Samsung-Galaxy-S7/WServiceAdvisory_542_GKB95567-dvc10180008prd?INTNAV=SU:DP:TS:UG:SamsungGalaxyS7:FindAndUpdateTheSoftwareVersionOnYourSamsungGalaxy&question_box=Find%20and%20update%20the%20software%20version%20on%20your%20Samsung%20Galaxy%20S%207&id16=Find%20and%20update%20the%20software%20version%20on%20your%20Samsung%20Galaxy%20S%207 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
