tommym65 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 If you have bought a GS7 Edge or Note 7 since August 3: Are you aware that Samsung is offering your choice of a free Fit2 fitness tracker or a free memory chip for GS7 Edge & Note 7 buyers. Check the Sprint web site for details. My daughter's phone died a couple of weeks ago and she bought a GS7 Edge on my account. The reselling store was not aware of the promotion, but I was shopping at a local Best Buy for a Fit2 for my other daughter, and they told me about it. I pulled up the Installment Agreement for the GS7 Edge and submitted it through the Samsung web site, and just received a verification that the purchase qualifies and that I should get the Fit2 "within 12 weeks". $179 retail value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JossMan Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Just traded my iPhone 6S in at my local Sprint store yesterday and swapped for a Galaxy S7, it feels great to be back home. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JossMan Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Question for those of you that have owned this device for quite sometime now. Where is the data activity indicator while your using LTE data? Did they do away with the upload and download arrows on the S7? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsa Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 The latest flagships on sprint all perform pretty well in my opinion. The htc 10 performs really well if you would like to stick with htc, the s7/s7e/n7, g5 perform pretty good as well. Would love to stick with HTC. I don't love the Samsung interface. But just based on the camera & display reviews I think I'm going to either do the S7 or maybe the Nexus 6P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a loyal HTC user, but the 10 was released too late for me and I went with the S7. Wireless Charging and Samsung Pay are the bomb. Touchwiz was a bit jarring after Sense, but a different launcher mitigates the impact. All in all, I'm happy with this phone.

conquereddroiduser Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 My S7 got the September security update. No sign of 3x CA in the engineering screens. I admittedly didn't pay attention to the change log. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twospirits Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 It states Touch and Security but doesn't really go into too much detail. I'm updating now as I type. TS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascertion Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Does anyone know why kind of modem/radio is in the G930F variant? I'm trying to find out if it's 4x4 MIMO capable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraydog Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Does anyone know why kind of modem/radio is in the G930F variant? I'm trying to find out if it's 4x4 MIMO capable. It should be, given all US Galaxy S7 models are using Snapdragon X12. That said, I don't know if Permissive Changes are being filed for the GS7 models on carriers other than T-Mobile.

ghostkilla1388 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Thinking about getting a S7(non edge) only question is will it work with a MHL adapter. My note 4 did but x pure doesn't.

Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk I've read the same online, some people sanded it down to fit but got mixed results of it working or not. Doing some research some say it's a module in the phones not software. I bought a cheaper one at bestbuy for my note 4, if the Samsung one works with the s7 I'll just get it.

Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk If the device is running hot, the CPU will throttle itself to prevent heat damage. That's probably what you're experiencing.

Jones Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Update to the always on display feature... Go to settings > display > always on display > about always on display and click to update. I use the feature and now there are more clock options, colors, and background images. I think you can use any background image you want now. Which is cool, but will probably eat more battery than just using the clock/calendar. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
