You have to connect your S7 Edge to a wireless fast charger first. Then it will suddenly appear. Yes, very weird indeed. :lol2:

I have the free one from Samsung. They gave me one free wireless fast charger. Using it now to charge my phone too sad.gif

That's the Wireless Fast Charger Stand right? I'm using that too.

Even in my previous Wireless Fast Charger Pad previously bought with my S7 Edge Onyx Black few months ago, the Fast Wireless Charging Toggle appeared only after I first charged it with the pad.
Yup. YMMV. But trust me, you can certainly YouTube a lot longer on the S7 Edge compared to many other flagship phones in the market.  devil.gif  :thumbsup:

Yep the stand version. Surprised that I still get this kind of deal in Australia too haha.

The G5 can last an additional 3 hours on YouTube when you have 25% left. So SOT is about 6 hours plus too.

Thanks for headup on Samsung Knox, definitely will try if decided to buy this S7.
How about user's experience on the dual sim management / operations? Able to create different preferences/profile on the 2 SIM cards, and swap between the sims easily? If not, any tip and trick to manage the sims, says 1 for private profile and the other for work profile?
I have checked a few Android and Samsung forums but found very discussion on this topic. How this forum is able to help as the ability to create different profiles on the 2 SIM cards for private and work usage, and the ease of switching between the sims are very important in my purchase decision.
Thanks.

There's a sim manager on the notification bar when you insert two SIMS into the phone. Can switch from there. Bear in mind that your primary SIM say your work phone, MUST be in the first sim slot. If not when you select it as a primary sim when it's second sim, it will go back to the original sim card after a reboot. .

You mean I can chose between sim 1 or sim 2 on the notification bar itself (with pre-set preferences / profile for each sim) or have to go to the settings to modify the preferences (change the sim to make call, send sims etc..)?
*
Yes. You can pick which sim to use for text calls and data.

Good lock changes lock screen, notification shade and recents menu. It doesn't change settings UI sadly.

To get thealmost similar nexus feeling I'm using the GNL and disable stock apps. However when replace the stock phone apps with Google phone apps from apk mirror. I can't seem to make a call. Mentioned sim error or something.
*
If you want to use Google Phone app, download the one JUST before RC9 build. RC9 build and above WILL NOT install on non-nexus phones. And if it could be installed, you can't call as you pointed out above.

Yup as I figured the rc9 wont get the Google phone apps intalled on the non-nexus phone. The one I installed is rc8. The apps can be installed but once I disable the Samsung stock phone apps using package disabler. Sim error.
*
I think what you should is don't disable the stock phone app and try calling with the RC8 build.

Anybody experiencing battery drain problem in S7e? My phone after charging to 100% after unplugged from the charger will start draining battery very fast (10% every 1 hour) even though I am not using the phone. And the phone feel very warm (about 40 degree C). This will continue until it triggers the battery saving mode at 50% and then it will cool down and the battery stops draining.

Anyone knows what's the problem and solution?

Thanks.

Some app is running in the background. Make sure you don't have any games running.

Slot 2 is also LTE enabled, though you cant run both sims on LTE simultaneously. One SIM has to be on 3g/2g when the other is LTE

not exactly true. I have mine on full 4G. both SIM slots report 4G to me on the status bar.

If Samsung made their own tempered screen protector that works great for the S7E, trust me, tons of people are going to buy it and there are going to be so much money to be made from it.

One can only dream I guess....

And then the price tag will wow a lot of people too, if Samsung made it. And they probably gonna slap a big ass Samsung ligo on the damn front too 😂

They're like Amazon and Lazada, online hosting website for sellers. No different from any of those, just less items available online I think.

The usb type c benefit both way?
I mean we need usb type c on pc/external hdd only benefit from speed transferring?
Both receives /send port must be usb c
*
Of course C to C is the best way to go, with larger bandwidth and larger current.

But normal A to C will grant you speeds close to the C to C speeds. But the port must be USB 3.0 (the blue one) and also the USB C port on the Note 7 must be USB 3.1 or else whatever port you have on your computer also uselss.

My s7 edge ada lagging when i switch tabs via chrome.

Anyone else?
*
I tested Chrome, Chrome Beta, Chrome Dev and Project Chromium.

No issues with any of them. However, I did notice that if you swipe away your last open tab, chrome closes.

Also, Project Chromium has stopped using flash player. So cannot play videos anymore

I think it will close if opt for home page something.
I remove the homepage, thus, even remove the last tab. The chrome didn't close, just blank page until press new tab.
For me, prefer to use stock browser for its adblock and feel its also fast and smooth.
*
Not too sure hahah.

QUOTE(squall_kay @ Jul 30 2016, 02:09 PM)
Mine to share your experience about the lag because really curious.
Benchmark with which phone?
As far as my experience goes, pretty smooth, as smooth and fast or perhaps smoother than previous N6P. in fact my previous S6e also have good experience and smooth.
My last Samsung that consider fall in lag (occasionally stutter, etc) was note4.
*
Benchmarking against Nexus 6P and LG G5. It's the little tiny stutters that I see here and there, like quitting an app to launch another, side by side you'd sometimes see even the 6P perform faster. not to mention the 6P can keep more apps in memory than the S7e. Stock Android vs Touchwiz, SA will always be faster. No doubt about that.

I had shitty experience with the S6e. Phone will freeze up just by using whatsapp. And heats up faster than I can boil water.
