Certain country usually get update the fastest. Usually european countries. If you device model is the same as theirs, u can manually flash their latest firmware using odin and get their quicker ota in the future.

I'm from the iPhone 6 plus and I really miss it's standby time. My s7 Edge can drop 6% overnight. And that's about 7 hours of me being asleep. I didn't have to worry about my iPhone having WiFi on or location on or what not. Android oh Android.

Mine drop 2- 3% over night. LTE on, sync on, location always on, no power saving etc. etc.

Hi everyone,

I'm terribly disappointed with my new S7 Edge. On Sunday night as usual I plugged in my phone for it to charge. The next morning I noticed that there were purple or greenish areas on the screen. Brought it to the service centre on Monday, they said it's probably my fault for charging it overnight. They were telling me I shouldn't have overcharged it and should've removed it from the charger at 100%. I was dumbfounded, so I took the phone back and emailed Samsung for confirmation. And they replied the same thing! rclxub.gif

The phone's gone from bad to worse now. When I switch it on I can see that the backlight is active but there's nothing displayed. Have no choice but to send it in now. Not sure whether or not I get to claim warranty for what has happened.

Happy to hear people's views on this.

Been charging overnight for years since s2 time. Never had such issues with amoled screen. You should make noise and ask for warranty. Is there anywhere in manual say cannot leave on charger once full? If not they must give u claim warranty. Also ask them to proof leaving on charger will cause this. Is for them to prove it to you.

I use whatsapp daily for work and swiftkey is my default keyboard. Don't have any lagging issue. Is it u got too many things running in background?

My friend just bought an used Maxis set , model number is SM-G935FD

When the phone first bootup there is a Maxis splash screen about Knox features !!

Just curious : Is this the latest firmware update as non telco sets?

Were you at somewhere with bad connection/signal? How hot was the phone? You should monitor the temperature if it frequently happens. From what i have observe before 2 of the major battery drainer usually unable to be captured
1) bad signal causing faster drain
2) hot battery causing faster drain

Bad signal also heats up the phone which heats up the battery and causes more drain.

That too. biggrin.gif Would be good to know if the device is sleeping properly or some some silly wakelock keeping it at max cpu speed all the time. To be honest, the battery page from settings don't really tell much.

I am back to Samsung world. Yeah!
the ads is seriously killing me. I root all my Samsung phones but for this one, i am still deciding to do it or not.
Argh.

There are adblockers that don't need root. If you are using stock browser you can use Crystal and activate ad blocking within the browser settings.

Thanks for the suggestion, i normally using adaway.
Can recommend which ad blocker that i can use?

I love to download wallpaper from Zedge and watch movie from movie box, the ads is insanely keep poping up.
*
I am using Block This. Most ads are blocked. You can test it. Google for it since as u know all ad blockers are banned in play store. tongue.gif

Done with the installation, indeed it does block all the ads. Great!!! but i do have a bit of concern as this creating a VPN to monitor the network.
This may open a bridge for the phone to be hack. I am not saying adaway is safe neither but this VPN does worries me a bit.

Anyway thanks for the info mate
*
Yeah there was a concern on this but without root there isn't much choice. Plus it is a local VPN. Not sure how secure it is cos not an expert in this field.

I guess at the end i might root my phone. Aside from the ads, i can use TB to freeze those bloats as well.
By the way, do you use screen off app? after the new update, whenever i lock the phone by using the app, it will redirect me to the pin or pattern unless if i lock the phone using power button then i can use fingerprint.
*
Yup after update if you lock using any 3rd party app to lock the phone, cannot use fingerprint to unlock. Stupid MM security issue.

If you just wanna freeze bloat can use Package Disabler Pro. No need root. Becos all these non root app my phone still unrooted. unsure.gif

the only real ad blocker for non root is adguard. fullstop.
hint: use luckypatcher custom patch for adguard (not dowan support dev but cant afford subscription. im ok with one off paid app)

only adguard has adv features (https,black/whitelisting, etc) others are crap.

adblocker plugin for samsung browser is another lame plugin. crystal is clone (forked) of Adblock Plus.

adguard will handle ur ads nightmare.
*
Adguard also uses VPN right? Means ada kunci kecik itu juga?

I tried it as well last week, same problem still persist. No signal at all.

Its something new for samsung. The revamp UI is unique. is about time samsung ditch Touchwiz?
*
To be honest, TW is pretty good now, fast n smooth. Just lack options and functions to further customize your home screen. Come on gimme icon editing Samsung. We know it can be done cos we did it with root before. bangwall.gif

Goodlock is just the systemui and lock screen so don't think it will be replacing TW. Maybe just an additional app for it. The drop down notification UI actually just look like stock android. Nothing really special for me cos i see it all the time on my oneplus one previously. tongue.gif

Also even using the latest version of good lock the signal status will go blank suka-suka so i also uninstalled oledi. LOL

The service is working just not showing the bar.  Unless there are other solution for the 3rd party lock with fingerprint i have to use it.  I need the greenify lock + hibernate function.

Lol I have the same problem as u. Need to use greenify lock + hibernate function. But actually i tested with the latest good lock also kenot use fingerprint unlock. Earlier version is fine. rclxub.gif

this will work.

If i set the nexus imprint with this app but use other 3rd party locking can ah? rclxub.gif

Oh i forgot.  I saw some non hibernate apps in greenify which doesn't get hibernated unless i manually do it. Even i leave for days.  So i think mm doze not dozing it or not entirely.
*
Its hard to say. When you turn on the screen the app might have been waken up to its original state from doze. So greenify might show it as active again.

Saw someone mentioned that doze uses gyro to detect the phone is lying on flat to doze. So it might not work if in pocket.  Not sure how true.

It does. Phone must be flat like u not using it.

Greenify will surpress until we turn on the app again.

Btw without root u cannot have automatic hibernation unless u use insecure lockscreen. Otherwise need to manually greenify.
