I seem to be stuck in a similar position as many of you guys... my 6P has been nothing but stellar since I got it back in October but the HTC 10 (being new and shiny) is sorely tempting. My main reason for being tempted to try it out is because my Galaxy S7 is rather annoying... it has a superb...

Yes, I've also had continuing issues with the fingerprint sensor on my S7. It's a step up from the swipe style of the Note 4, but it's nowhere nearly as accurate as the one on my Nexus 6P... the 6P gets it right 95%+ while my S7 struggles to get a 50-60% first-try unlock rate. There are...

I think you might have posted in the wrong sub-forum. Regardless of whether you meant a Galaxy S3 or a Galaxy Note 3, the battery is likely to be fairly old by now and have gone through enough charge/discharge cycles to the point where your phone would probably benefit from a new battery. The...

It seems like she 'takes care' of her phone like the mafia 'takes care' of its competition. Without you observing the phone at every moment for the whole day, there's no way you could say that she's treating her device properly. If she puts it in her pocket like you says she does, that excessive...

Re: Tried two cases already. Desperately need a silicone or TPU, thin, grippy case ASAP. HELP! Honestly though, if you want thin with minimal lip you need to get the eBay ones. this one seems like it's similar to the eBay style of 0.3mm TPU cases but I can't be certain. I ordered it today so...

Re: Tried two cases already. Desperately need a silicone or TPU, thin, grippy case ASAP. HELP! Check my post here. I've included a link to the Amazon page as well as some closeups of the case on the phone. It's a thin TPU gel-style case that isn't too bulky and lets me swipe in from the...

Like others have said, there's a lot of differing ideas (some more snake-oilish than others) but the general consensus is that you should avoid stressing the battery. Stress in this context would mean things like extreme temperatures (i.e. very hot or very cold), full discharges, physical shock...

Do you have any closeups of it on the phone? Generally speaking it seems as though most of the early screen protectors either have issues with halos (even plastic/PET ones) or are small on purpose and leave a huge gap on the sides but if this is truly edge-to-edge, I'd like to see it before...

Frankly, I'm not familiar enough with the inner workings of Android to definitively say one way or another about that. From my own experience however, on some of the phones that I own where the recovery mode is locked out by the carrier, clearing the cache from inside the settings menu seems to...

For ultra thin TPU cases you can try something like this. I've also ordered some ultra-thin 0.3mm cases from eBay, but seeing as how they're shipping from China/Taiwan/Hong Kong, shipping is going to be slow(I ordered a week ago and they said late March to early May, so I'm guessing I'll be...

This is in the wrong section, but yes, I've noticed the fingerprint scanner isn't super accurate. With dry non-sweaty fingers I seem to get a 60-70% success rate, whereas my Nexus 6P would get 90-95%. I'm guessing it has something to do with the shape of the scanner (long skinny oblong vs...

That's a nice way to cause stress fractures on the glass. Sony Xperia phones had issues with its rear glass panel shattering (probably due to people setting down their hot/warm phones on a cold surface) so I wouldn't tempt fate by "watercooling" your S7/e via placing it under a running faucet...

Restarting the phone weekly is fine, but there's no real reason to clear out the cache too often. I only typically do it when troubleshooting for wakelocks/quickly draining battery, after a system update (e.g. x.x.1 --> x.x.2), or after an update to the Google app or Google Play Services. You...

Interesting. Perhaps it's due to it being a new product but at 25 GBP a pop, I sure hope they get that fixed soon. I'm going to stick with a traditional PET/plastic screen protector until someone finds an edge-to-edge halo-less TGSP over here in the US.

Re: Galaxy S7 Cases Tauri TPU Gel Skin As there weren't many thin TPU cases available, I ordered this one off of Amazon a couple of days ago. It's cheap, it fits very well, and the buttons are slightly harder to press but still clicky and responsive. As a temporary case until the thinner 0.3mm...
