This phone not fully optimise yet.

It do hang on using Chrome in certain site sometimes.

The finger sensor not working in third party apps for example PayPal.

The com.samsung.faceservice not responding and need to freeze it.

No point factory reset, no point worried
. Just wait Samsung release new firmware. I believe pretty soon.

I viewed this as a big failure by Samsung since they are so well established already
How can a basic browser like Chrome can not even work well on the phone ? Anyway I don't use Chrome at all on all my androids and therefore doesn't affect me
Paypal - I had never tried the fingerprint yet
I don't face that faceservice error too
I had yet experience any freeze/ auto restart since day one 18 March using the phone. I still suspect such issues could be due to incompatible 3rd party app, app from unofficial sources, 3rd party unknown apk etc
*
I only face the hang from Chrome. Samsung really shall more testing before release.

That faceservice bugs I Google around it is there since S6 on marshmallow. Something Samsung apps not so compatible in marshmallow.

Also I read if you turn on Smart Stay then your front camera may fail sometimes.

It do is failure Samsung didn't test in proper before release.

UAG is my favor last time but I not going to buy it anymore. Those semi transparent case can simply scratch within an hour. It is too easier to scratch.

The Samsung clear back case also drop quality and easier scratch, mine one already scratch. Now using cheap slim transparent TPU case. I think soon I will use it naked. Haha!

I really don't understand, how you all manage to make a well made phone hang or crash? Mine happened restart it itself and can't power on because I put it in a box with a case. It was too tight, and the box press the case power button and volume place and the phone keep turn and on itself till I open the box again after couple hours. The phone then self restart again then can't power on for 1 minutes. I Google it, found out that Samsung made this to protect the motherboard. I guess the phone resort too many time and when I take it out it was very very very hot. My bad. But till now I didn't even face any hang/crash. Maybe it is because of the not well optimise app cause that problem.  Keep your eye open and alert on those crappy app. Especially those China made app.
*
I never ever install any china made app and all my apps is genuine.

From nearly all report here, the hang is when using Google Chrome and I do face one or two times hang when using Google Chrome browse certain site, no others apps causing the hang yet.

In this case, Google Chrome seems doesn't fully optimise yet for Android Mashmallow

Maybe, I not really sure as my previous phone all under Jelly Bean. Actually Google Chrome often got issue from time to time but I still use it because I want the auto sync bookmark everywhere. Oops.

Maybe is Google Chrome issue, maybe is Samsung, I had no idea. Haha!

It is not the matter how many tabs you open, it is the matter on the site you browsing, I think it mostly cause by bad coding of those advertisement on certain website.

Use Samsung own browser,  better and faster. Switch from Chrome to Samsung browser. The Samsung browser also have the ad blocking feature. So happy with it now.

I know Samsung browser is smooth but really hard for me to switch over as I need the bookmark... Haizz... why Google can't make perfect browser now.

As i told this morning, my phone hang and restart is happened when i browse using Samsung browser, not Chrome. So basically this issue is not isolated with Chrome only.

This I can't tell as I didn't use much Samsung Browser and so far didn't much people report happen in stock browser.

For those who have random reboots/restart, you may refer to the Link here, post#202. It may help but not guarantee 100% work.  sweat.gif

Remember not to activate the smart stay too. Camera bug and cause reboot. Samsung is working on it.
*
Thanks for this link, really need wait Samsung solved it.
  • Smart Stay - I didn't turn on, so not related
  • MicroSD card reinsert popup - I don't seen this message which means my MicroSD card is running fine.
  • Package Disable Pro - I do using this, before I got install this I already face once auto restart, so had nothing to do with it. I need this for now else that stupid com.samsung.faceservice will keep appear from time to time.
  • Samsung Account sync issue - not so true as I didn't turn on Samsung Account synchronization.
So all in all, I can only said the freeze or restart issue is Samsung issue, this issue is happening on S6 Edge 1st launch firmware as well, it get fix after 2 or 3 firmware updates.

So far from purchase on 22/March/2016 until today, I had one time freeze during WhatsApp, 3 times auto restart. (2 times when using Google Chrome, 1 time after the system freeze).

Hi guys. Im trying to get Kies on my old PC. Its not connected to the net. All the official setup requires internet to complete. I tried the uninstalling .NET and installed v3.5 to allow the Kies installation and it didnt work.

So i found this site: http://www.mobileusbdriver.com/samsung-kie...fline-installer . For stand alone Kies. Any if you tried this site? Legit?

Did you install correct version. Either install Kies3 or Smart Switch.

honestly, how many come from Galaxy S6 to S7?

My camera experience has been very bad. S7 camera CANNOT compare with S6. S6 has far more quality than S7. I've tried S6 raw too and the quality is very DSLR like. S7 raw is just awful. Not much details, heavy noise, chromatic aberrations is horrible, I just can't find love for this camera. I think it's just samsung marketing tactics to get people to believe their s7 camera is better than s6. I'm highly deeply disappointed with the camera. Not even raw can save it.

Video 4k are worse than s6 too. While I was shooting 4k on s6, I can zoom in and still have descent video quality. While on S7, the video is just showing alot of smudges. How many of you thinks S7 camera is really bad? I'm starting to think the camera reviews are paid by samsung to have good results.

BTW, the photos looks good viewing on the phone only. I've been viewing them on my Computer.

And yes. I do feel cheated by samsung. Miss my S6 camera
*
I didn't use much RAW and I can't said any on RAW but S7 Edge normal jpg output is superior or similar level as S6 Edge and Note5. I had this two phones before and I even compare with Note5 output before where S7 Edge given much details just sometimes it is a bit over sharpening but others than that S7 Edge camera is awesome and not worst than S6 Edge or Note5.

I already sold my Note5 and some last photos I taken forgot to save out, I can only give the only sample shot I take indoor at shop using both phones.

I have both s6 and s6edge prior to s7edge. Both already sell off.
I can't comment on RAW performance because didn't use it. I also didnt use 4k video, so cant comment also. But for the daily normal photos, anytime anyday I prefer s7e than those 2 phones. So, I do believe all those reviewers feedback on the s7e camera. It's not leap and bound but still better.
The main thing I missed is the 16:9 aspect ratio which better when viewing on phone and FullHD TV.
*
You still can get 16:9 ratio, all my photos in that ratio, just change to 16:9 which is 9.1MP

Nop. Did you even view on computer? Photo is over processing, over saturated. Of course it look awesome on the phone screen. I think s7 users who says the photo quality is good are delusional
*
I already show you the comparison on S7 Edge vs Note5 which can said 99% similar in quality. If you said S6 is greater than S7 Edge then something very wrong in your S7 Edge unit.
