My S7 Edge hang last night with only facebook apps running....the display is on, but all other functions freezes, touch screen, all buttons, all cannot use, tried to call the number straight goes into message

Battery status at 41%, so decided to leave it untill battery drained off, however after like 90 minutes, it came back to life with battery status 33%

I switched it off and charge the battery to full, this morning seem fine....

Anyone experience this?

Are you on the latest software update? That will eliminate a lot of hang n reboot issue.

Also, keep the fb up to date too. Fb tend to act weird if you do not update for a long time.

Hi guys... Just to update regarding my phone. Sent it in as initially there were purple lines on the screen, then the screen went dead totally. I ranted quite a bit as they were saying it's my fault for leaving the phone charged overnight.

So have picked up the phone today, no drama whatsoever. Screen was changed under warranty.

For those who say that heat buildup might have caused the issue, page 11 of the manual even reassures that the phone will disconnect if the battery heats up during charging. So yeah, in the end might just be my luck getting a dud unit.

Good for you. If they don't we will help you viral it. 😆

Finally uploaded some of my vacation photos.

Brought my camera, 5 lenses, 3 batteries, tripod and end up shooting 99% of photos on the S7

The S7's not perfect but its so much more convenient and does the job pretty well.

Let me know what you think:

It fix all the issue especially hang or auto restart for most people in previous firmware.

In this latest firmware since updated until now. I never face single hang or auto restart issues.

New added feature include condensed mode, share photo or video of motion photo, shape correction in camera.

Agree no more hang and auto restart but do you notice the battery life slightly worst then the previous stock?

I'm getting 5h + Sot now but previously can go up til 7h+. Did factory reset but still same.

If you be very careful about it I guess it won't be that easy , I've been using my S7 for 3 weeks or so now , the only scratches I've found were on the screen protector and the heartrate sensor , which I honestly don't even know how it got there.

Anyway guys , are there any decent screen protectors for the S7 non edge version , the current one I have cuts off just before the slight curve to the edge of the screen , 2.5D glass is what its called I think. Because of the protector and the VRS Single fit case which protrudes for the front part to protect the screen , sometimes its quite difficult to touch the inner/edge of the screen , eg. landscape dragging down the notification bar.

Here's one of the best SOT's I've gotten from my usage. A lot of messaging , Telegram/Whatsapp , some Youtube , frequent gaming and some net surfing using the default browser.

Also been noticing a lot of unresumable apps , not sure if its because of the battery optimization being used or just Samsung's ram management issues again. I didn't notice as much app reopenings with my previous Honor 3c with 2gb ram though.

Disable optimise battery and app power saving for that apps.

Thanks, I understand now. Just hoping damn tm will fix my WiFi soon, already around 1 no WiFi. Wait for TIME to get here will take decades as I'm in Kampung area.

Ambient temperature, full brightness, Internet browsing, rogue apps are known to cause high temperature. It's ok if u use in aircond environment. I suspect compact high capacity battery play a part too. My note 2 is not as hot compare to s7e doing the same thing test.

Sometime apps try to run background data too after doze.

Often a reboot will help to settle it down.

yes, my note 2 peaked at 42c while s7 peaked at 37c both running the same game at the same room

There are 2 temperatures. Yes the CPU temperature is higher on Note 2 (42c) but the battery temperature was at 34c whereas S7E both stayed at 37c

I only tested for browsing. No gaming.

Yes. It's warmer than my pervious note 2 when only using browser outdoor but ok when use in aircond room.

Camera is even worst.
