Very true.. Couldn't blame them. Many newbies on this thread compared to the S6 / S6 Edge thread.

No, you dont. Use super glue to stick the 4 sides of the chip on MicroSD. Use your finger to press and hold it for awhile till it stick and try to insert it into the phone slowly, to make sure the chip is not being pushed out.

It just like FC topic the most asked question in car thread...and thread owner start to ban FC discussion...it time to implement similar thing on this thread too.

This is not easy. If use super glue.. next time wanna take it off how ? Scare SD card spoil also. Gonna reconsider this mod..

So fast

Until now I yet to see how silver and black looks like, the time when I bought last Sunday and want to see silver but they only have gold stock, i love it so i just take it...Last time my S4 is black, so definitely i won't go for black anymore.

should just add a FAQ page here

The problem is even this is FAQ, but the answer is different due to millions of SP and casing out there.

how to root as well

This I didn't notice. Haha! I no longer care on root. My last root phone is HTC One M8.

FP? Damn!

Gold platinum reporting in!

somehow if root this phone = trip knox = no Samsung Pay (coming in Q4 2016 in Malaysia)

Can always choose the ignore la.

If everything also cannot ask then what's the point of having a discussion forum.

Which DNS changer works in non-root S7 edge? Want to by pass the stupid censorship imposed by the service provider. (This one is least asked question i believe )

Yup correct! waiting Samsung Pay coming.

If the above are considered non sense, what else you guys expected to discuss in this thread? I notice when ppl report other issues, most of the reply are "this never happen to my unit".

Hmm... What to talk here, let's plan for a gathering!!

Yup...but for those looking for more technical discussion will need to read the post one by one to filter it out. Especially when 3-4 hours haven't follow up and you saw the notification '200+ new post', end up 90% of it is regarding that topic after scrolled through all is a big blow. But yeah, we can't avoid that actually, this is the nature of forum. I believe this type of question will be lesser and lesser will time goes by becos now still new, ppl treat it like a baby.

+1 here.

It's not like flagships these days are lacking anything.

You can, the super glue you will need to put on double sided tape, so next time if you want to reuse the sd card, just remove the double sided tape.

+2 here.

I don't see custom ROM any better than stock ROM, most of them sacrificed the stock camera performance which is unacceptable for S7.

But who know what will happen after 1 year usage.

has anyone bricked their phone trying to do 2 sim cards + sd card

Won't brick la...don worry la. But not sure the upcoming firmware update will block it or not la.

It's really up to the community.

So.... which is the best sp and casing for my S7E ?

JK JK

UAG case
Never let me down
Still intact even after heavy use

I mainly root for restoring those backup and remove bloatware and tweak for battery life. Leaving the custom rom scene for quite sometime already because its just too time consuming :

i use THIS

100% internet freedom

but need to switch between adguard & dns changer.

For the price we paid, we should expect... no... demand that the highly paid professional engineers at Samsung to do all the possible optimizations for us.

At least better than what hobbyist end users could accomplish.

How's the case? Is it bulky? Compared to cases such as spigen rugged armor and crystal shell?
I loved UAG before on my S4, but i felt it was bulky back then

True also haha!

Yup, agree.

Exactly true, custom ROM now mostly is reduce features and never mean better now.

wth, my S7 just rebooted too. Was surfing on stock browser and switching to playstore then suddenly freeze... after few seconds auto reboot.
Guess the issue not only happened to edge version, something really wrong with either Samsung touchwiz software of the hardware itself... Did a cache wiped, will continue to monitor and see any improvement...

Unless the developer collaborate with original vendor, else after market mod is just like reverse engineer, sure have something they won't know forever no matter how hard they try.

I will root after warranty gone, but just meant for more freedom in customisation or OS backup based on stock ROM, i will never try custom ROM anymore.

anyone here uses the Gear VR? any best sellers to recommend?

Was just doing some reading on MIL-STD-810G 516.6 so prominently advertised for some cases so thought I'll share.

Hi guys. Some of you been wondering about screen protectors. I recently just installed the Ultimate Shield. I've gotta say it's one of the best screen Protectors out there for its money. Just follow it's instructions included and it'll be perfect. I'm using the Spigen Rugged armor case and it doesn't cause any bubbles. Maybe its because I let it sit dry for 2 days before putting the case on. So that's about it. Good luck!

I think this is common problem for new launched smart phone, considering so much hardware and function in a piece. I believe next firmware update will address the problem. Anyway, do you factory reset your phone when you newly bought? I did factory reset when i brought back before i install anything.

In my entire life i never ever bought a newly launched product that less than 6 months, but this time i dun know why I'm so brave, bought it after released just a week. Potentially will get buggy phone and price will be dropped very soon, and not cheap u know. But but, this is also the only phone that make me tempting so much, i have to admit i attracted by the camera the most (Although i owned a DSLR).

UAG case always similar bulkiness and similar design.

Hi guys, my friend Going to Korea for holiday, do you think I can get a cheaper the standing Samsung wireless fast charger there.? Plan to ask him toe buy it for me

these bugs might be solved with a firmware update. shouldn't be a problem with the hardware after being so many years in the market.

Same here. I've got more than enough cameras and had no intention to change phones until I played with the demo unit's camera. Its not perfect but sure's nice to have a useable camera with me all the time.

why need to switch between adguard & dns changer?

Ya, that's the point, useable camera with me all the time. I foreseen very useful in dinning place with faint lighting.

I agree!
No need to dip the phone though. Just dip the SP, position it nicely, then squeeze out the water.
I used with spigen's rugged, tough armor, and crystal shell, all good. No lifts on the edges.


Yeah. Quite like em before.

I just bought a normal wireless charger, it seems it charges slower than cable even though it stated fast charger.

Best sellers?

Agree although is looks rubbery, but its smooth enough compare to other screen protectors. Plus they sending me a free replacement after I mess up the screen protector when removing an reinstalling.

bwin999 Please add me into owners list-gold owner here TQ

Sure la, the efficiency of wireless charger is no way near the wired charger in terms of energy transfer, 75% consider good adi. Wired charger can goes up to > 90%.

Hope this phone will survive without sp!!! Ive decided not to waste time looking for sp

Similar as uag tradition design
But, the different with uag s7 edge case is, the uag case follows contour on the back, and now is comfortable to handle

Smash Hit is super fun and free.

I've take the same decision since i used my S6 Edge.
Applied SP to S6e once but the feeling and look doesnt satisfy me. But gorilla glass 4 really durable and i barely see any scratch on my S6e.

Now I didnt bother to look out for SP on my S7e anymore unless i can find the decent one. Dont wanna spoil the look and feel of using this phone. It just not worth it.

agree.

and SONAR was a good VR experience. 3 minutes story but file is 1.1GB.

really need some big file otherwise VR experience will be compromised

They replace you for free? What did you tell them? Mine got a little bit torn.

I do. But its still sitting in the box. Have yet to even try.

just sharing what i did..
i didnt use superglue nor double tape..wat im afraid is should the tape or glue failed the sim card will stuck in there and might cause the tray also jammed forever.and after several trial i found out that double tape will add on the thickness and cause my tray failed to slide in.
what i did was, after peeled off the sim chip (micro sim) i cut it ngam2 the size of nano sim and just put it in sim slot 2 above the memory card.

Nice. The SD still can sit nicely in the tray..

Don't you think this is more risky than using super glue or double sided tape? It won't fall out? Do you often take out your sim?

only one VPN can run at one time.

Any code to apply for ultimate shield ? Cos I buy from Taobao , can't fit well will jelly case tq

Forgot to ask, is your sim taken out from micro sim or nano sim? The gold plate seems bigger than those in nano sim?

This is my advice for sp prob:

No need to apply sp
Its true gorilla glass 1 to 3, still scratchable, if there is a word for it, but its getting more resist to scratch

Starting with gorilla glass 4, when i was using s6e, only hair lines of scratch on my screen, but that after i have decided to abandon perfectionist side of me regarding screen, and i really not protect my screen or even taking care of it

I would be different if i took care of it, even slightest

Saw the review and demo of it on YouTube. Looks really fun to use.

Best price that we could get it is at rm 459 at the moment?

what's the best adblock software?

Yup free, I dint request them as I just ask them if after apply few days, its still hazy and having bubble can I remove and reapply, they say it will be hard because after few day it will be sticking on the phone very well but still can try, after I try I over stretch it and its slightly out of alignment now, then they just say will send me a new 1.

Refer to image2 in my previous post..the sim sit nicely in the tray. it cant barely move..i think (and hope ) it wont fall out.


from micro

If you mean Gear VR - you can try shopee app.

Look for cygoo77 seller from penang area.

I bought from him for 389.20 with free shipping (with 10.00 discount off for app sign up). He left 7 units at this moment.

Still in delivery. Hope to get it by today based on poslaju track, I hope iit's legit. Did talk to him, and he claimed the unit is original from Samsung. Waiting....

Retailers in Korea will never sell cheap unless u buy online. But u need valid address to buy online. Why not get from the taobao posted before?

I have always been using case, not sure why I got a few scratches at the back glass today I check.

Do let me know once you have received your.

Saw a seller in 11street selling galaxy s7 edge together with gear vr at rm 3099. Tempting

So nice. I better message them now.

Sharing for info only. Choetech Wireless Fast Charger T518 White purchased via AliExpress just delivered today. 17 days from order to delivery. Understand from this forum and Choetech site that this wireless charger needs the Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 charger to do Fast Charging so cannot test yet as that charger is still in transit.

Thanks for the suggestion, downloading it now! I thought the highly recommended VRSE stuff, ROSE, Jurassic World, Cirque du Soleil were all kinda disappointing. I ripped a 360 video from YouTube and dumped it in my Milk VR too.

I was scouting for a cheap one (people who got it with the roadshow or otherwise) for more than a week and found one. Try mudah.my etc.

Trying to save on the shipping cost 😁

Just got it... legit. and brand new - unopened.
i thought u have the s7 oledi.

I bought this too, but I din buy the Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 charger...
mind to share the link for the Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 charger ?

thanks

Don worry, you are same boat with me...my S7E now is naked, the body so sexy and extreme nice to look and squeeze you know.

I haven't gotten it yet. 😐.

But by the looks of it. I'm getting it sooner or later 😐😐
