Samsung Galaxy S7 & S7 Edge User Thread

[optimummind]

On the new update, can someone test this for me? Set Location to GPS Only for a few hours & then check Battery Usage for Android System. Is the GPS constantly on for almost as long as GPS was turned on or was GPS active for just a few seconds or minutes?

Got it this morning. Typical permissions resets and inconveniences.

Got that as well this morning, but forgot to do it since I wasn't on Wi-Fi. Doing it now. Thanks for the reminder.

Really wish I hadn't taken through PD3 update. Battery life was twice as good before.

Same here. PB5 was the best for battery life. I don't think the May update will fix it either. I'd love to be proven wrong.

 

In the meanwhile, I've been decreasing my standby drain through an app called ForceDoze. I can now get > 6 hrs of SOT with everything on except sync.

What messaging app is that?

 

Edit: Nvm it's whatsapp. I knew that.

Any short cuts to get to the lte engineering screens?

Lookie here! All 3 factory firmwares!

I have successfully downgraded to PC5 myself, but can't get the PB5 to work, I always get a bootloop.

 

The uploader says he has successfully downgraded from PD3 to PB5 (sans bootloader) soooo your mileage may vary.

 

But at any rate, pretty cool.

OK, thanks. Would GLW446C work also by any chance?

Rokform about to release their locking mount / magnetic mount case for the s7 edge.

Great setup on my bike.

 

 

 

Still prefer the Speck Candy Shell for daily carry where I don't need a mount option.

Anyone download PF2 for S7 yet?

[SturgeonGeneral]

Got the notification for update APF2 just now.  Going to run it now and see what happens.

[optimummind]

The update seems like another good one. My phone's been off the charger for 13 hrs & 19 mins and I'm at 40%battery left with 3 hrs 19 mins SOT.

This is my first Samsung device. I was a bit worried about their history of updates, but I'm impressed. A timely update each month. This is my first Samsung device, but it may not be my last.

Any of you guys using the GS7 on T-Mobile or AT&T?  If so, does SignalCheck provide an accurate dBm value for WCMDA/HSPA?

 

Mine just shows No Connection.  I don't think the Sprint variant is affected.

Anyone else still having issues with WiFi calling enabled and receiving/making HD calls? I just experienced my first ever HD call on this phone by deactivating WiFi calling, but I want both

[pokefan02]

It's one or the other not both

Well it took long enough to happen but an unlocked version for the US market supporting the major carriers has finally appeared.
