I m now using a cheap Goosperry flipcase to protect my phone when I am out
It is cheap ( only RM 28 from lelong)
The phone edges are well protected and access to the edge is unhindered
It adds a very slight bulk to the phone but I love it as the original phone itself is too compact for me. I feel great using it with the phone
And I don't believe in using any form of SP on my phones
I am still waiting for my Spigen Rugged Armor backcase from Ebay. I will use this only at home

I was using my previous Samsung fast wireless charger n charging time was about 2 hours....a quite good time I'd said. I am using an original Samsung fast charging adapter n cable that comes with the fast wireless charger.
I noted before if I tried to use other QC adapter such as Aukey or Tronsmart the charging time isn't as fast ??
However if one charges it with any case on the charging time will be increased - I didn't test it this time but is based on previous experience using S6e n Note5

I had never like to use Chrome or the stock browser in all my Androids. I did not even bother to test this in the S7 Edge
Personally for me it is always Next or Boat Browser

Here comes the problem haunt me, I move my Apps to SD Card, after reboot, the apps is gone (data are still intact in SDCard) and I have to redownload the Apps again. WTF? seriously?

benny888
Should I format my SD Card in my phone before I start using it? Since I using 64GB which is exFat instead of Fat32.

Also, anyone here using adaptive storage?
*
I am using a used 200gb exfat card ( from my V10) with it. I just slot in and used it as normal
I don't have your type of issues at all. I move a lot of app to ext sdcard too through settings

I think this phone is having some software issues, while surfing 9gag and replying in messenger my phone random froze, after holding power button few second suddenly screen go black and back to lock screen, then the whole phone become damn lag for few min only back to normal.
*
I use same app too n till today my phone hasn't freeze or lag at all
Sometimes such problems are due to other incompatible unofficial app you could had installed
Also avoid installing any system manager, anti virus, auto task manager , battery booster app - such app results are usually only temporary but is essentially unnecessary

Am using the Samsung Fast Charge Wireless pad now and it charges my S7 edge wihin 2.5-3 hours . No regrets getting it.

That is too slow...you should hit 100% in 2 hours
Are you using Samsung fast charging adapter n cable
It does make a difference

If it is confirm original, then it's a steal at RM189. But heard that there are fake Samsung wireless chargers in the market. So just beware. Good luck.
Yesterday I placed my S7 edge on my wireless fast charger at 27%. The phone stated it takes 2 hours to charge to full. So if it's from 0% to 100%, theoretically it should take 2.5 hours, right? I don't turn off my phone or set to airplane mode when I wireless charge, though.

Also, Samsung rates the Note 5 taking 2 hours to charge on the same charger too. So with additional 600mah capacity on the S7 edge, it certainly should take longer than 2 hours?

And yes, I'm using the original fast charger head and cable that came with my S7 edge. Even my wireless fast charger is purchased from official Samsung outlet.

Not sure if it's because of my Samsung Clear Cover and Clear Coat back skin slowing the wireless charging? biggrin.gif

Either way, the wireless fast charge doesn't heat up my S7 edge at all which is just sweet. happy.gif

With case on, the charging will be slowed down

I already uninstall the FB apps now using FB via Opera  also kena random reboot, so far only once and few times screen froze for 20seconds,it might be TW M6 need updating or WhatsApp also need updating

I had never faced such issues at all even using Facebook app -- NO random reboot or sudden freeze since day one
And if it is TW-MM issue than every user will be affected ??

Hmm... that was weird... I think could be something to do with some apps that I have disable by using the Disable Package Pro... I check again later.

Actually pointless to use DPP as TW this time already very lean. Any app you wish disable just do it at settings/app

Reading all you guys problems with SP only makes me satisfy that using a flipcase is more than enough a good protection for the display
I had never believe in buying such stuff n need not worry what type to buy either
In my past 8+ years using all type of phones I had tried not to install any such SP n all my devices remain pristine without even a single hairline scratch. Only xperia series I installed a SP due to its easily scratchable anti shatter film
I guess this also depends heavily how one take care of your phones
You can said I m not a smart user but than is your opinion only

You can customize what colour LEDs you want for different apps. I dont have any problem with mine.
*
The problem is many users doesn't bother to explore further the phone features
Eg one can set any color ( up to 7 choices) for led notifications
One just need to dig down settings/notification/advanced notification etc etc to choose one choice of color

In terms of hardware, the Samsung wins hands down.
Software wise still not as polished as ios. But Samsung has done a very good job trying to improve touchwiz.
Hence I still carry both phones around. biggrin.gif
*
I had never like iPhone IOS. However I am still keeping my ip6s+ just to keep myself updated on IOS. My assessment ios9 is getting worse with time
I will never use the ip6s+ as main phone. Heck, it is not even my secondary phone. Just take out few times to play with it but still unimpressed. The ip is good for gamers but than I don't play games on phones
And being a bad habit of mine I will upgrade it too to ip7 just to be updated n test out.
My main phone s now LG V10 follow by Mate8 n S7E.
Had been trying to sell off my other 128gb Nexus 6P but get only ridiculous offers. These buyers didn't realize is a 128gb n not the usual 64gb

Typical of all Samsung phones
Nothing surprising - price drop after a month
Best time to buy is 3 months after launch
