Regarding the navigation bar i dont think you can hide it anymore. Ive been using gestures for a week now and prefer it. Seems a extra step to swipe up to show the navigation bar and then press the back button. #2 have you turned on reduced animations under advanced features in settings.

Battery life is abit strange on my exynos version. Heavy usage screen on time for me is 5-6 hours which is as good as most new phones ne I've had in the past but it is stand by time when the phone is idle which is draining much more than expected. Hopefully something can be done in a firmware...

I think T mobile are getting there wires crossed somewhere. It isn't possible for the systen/user data to be as low as 3-4 gb on a modern Samsung phone.

Who says the system/user data should be no more than 3-4gb? Mine is at 29gb. That includes the OS, apps and everything else Samsung bundles in.

Settings, lockscreen and security, intelligent scan, toggle screen on intelligent scan.

You can set face/iris unlock to start when you swipe on the screen so you can still see notifications on the lockscreen.

Hello, anyone upgraded from a S7 to the mate 10 Pro and was it worthwhile? Overall I'm still happy with my S7 but it's coming up to 2 years old now and the battery life is pretty poor now but I'm still happy with the screen and camera. So anyone has done this upgraded how do they compare? Also I...

I stream Bluetooth in my a car an hour or so a day and don't notice any significant battery drain from one hour of usage. Is the audio you are playing stored locally or streaming? I wouldnt expect 4-5 hours of bluetooth to kill the battery especially if the screen is off most of the time.

Nothing you can do really other then claim off insurance or live with the crack, as far as tesco and samsung are concerned glass doesn't just crack without reason, and proving it wasn't you is almost impossible.

Plan on using my s7 edge for another year then will have a good look at mid - high range Chinese makes like honor or xiaomi. I buy my phones sim free but cant justify the price of the s8 and probably future samsungs phones at £700-£800.

I would try again and stomp you feet with them. 3 weeks out of warranty isnt good enough for a well known issue. This pink line could potentially effect every single S7 produced.

Samsung may sell twice as many as Iphones but most of them are J and A series. If you compare S7 sales against iPhone 6s then it's probably twice as many if not more 6S sold compared to S7. So there is alot more demand for top end Iphones compared to top end androids. That's why they hold value...

A common issue, Samsung will repair under warranty as long as the phone shows no physical damage

S7 should get Android O. Samsung tend to give the top end galaxy phones two major updates.

Alot of it is down to apple doing a much better job at supporting iphones for years, android phones are almost irrelevant and stop being supported after about 18 months.
