    Locked out of Samsung s7 with fingerprint lock, says try again in 60 minutes! Help

    Did it recently update to Nougat? If so, you might have to redo the print learning. That happened to me Now it is fine.

    Hisense Sero 7 Pro - Unboxing pictures (no video)

    How did you fare with the replacement unit? Is the port OK for charging and do you know if it works with an OTG cable for USB drives and devices like a wireless mouse?

    Sounds like a bad cable connection or a failing usb microport. Read this thread and elsewhere. Make sure it says "charging" before going into light sleep (timeshowing) or full sleep mode (screen off).

    Yes, copying from cloud storage works. So does wireless transfer from your LAN using a file manager like ES File Explorer. Or you can connect to your pc/mac using a cable. Also, if you're one of the lucky ones with a fully functional micro USB port (not me at this point!). you can use a USB...

    Good luck and please post your experience/costs. Unless you just use your unit for games, you are taking a chance sending it in 'as is'. I assume you are running it stock, unrooted. If not, you need to back up and revert to stock or Hisense may not repair/replace. Definitely make at least one...

    Others have had this issue. What works for some is to try different cables. If under warranty, try contacting Hisense to replace cable/charger. They did for me. It still is a bit 'flaky' and won't connect any of my multi-sourced OTG cables. Also, avoid using while charging. Sent from my Z665C...

    ZTE Valet: Can You Post the Pictures and Videos It Takes?

    More than you would guess! I mainly use WiFi (need a strong signal I'm finding) but have used mobile data some. When you do try it, Data usage in system settings gives you a graphical display of cumulative use over a time period which you can select/adjust. It also shows below this bar charts of...

    ZTE Valet: Can You Post the Pictures and Videos It Takes?

    That's what you should get. In my case, they gave me ~9x of each because of an error on Tracphone's end....not complaining. ;-]

    If I recall correctly, any warranty repair requires the owner to pay to send the unit in. If you have the Walmart warranty, others on this forum suggest backing over it with a vehicle and getting your purchase price back. Sent from my AT100 using Tapatalk 2

    That's the SN. When you call, don't say anything about possible defective port on the S7. They will want you to send the S7 on your dime. I did say something and had to convince them to just send the charger/cable. The rep I got was reasonable and the replacement charger solved the problem for...

    I had the same problem. If it was purchased with a warranty that is still under effect, Hisense will replace the cable/charger. They did for me and that worked. It could be the port on the S7, but trying different cables from say phones, Nook etc plugged into your charging block might work as...

    I use Clean Master which reminds me to move-if it can- when installed. However, not all apps can. Does the app you use move all? Sent from my Z665C using Tapatalk

    Wrj54: Thanks for the link and in my searches on Amazon I hadn't caught the Reiko. I think it is OK to post a link on where you got a product and liked it. That's one of the pluses of these forums.

    ZTE Valet: Can You Post the Pictures and Videos It Takes?

    My replacement ZTE phone was received and checked out. I ordered a similar case from Amazon at a bit more ($7.99 delivered) but it is a package including a silicon rubber case, screen protector and stylus (always can use 1 more!). Will report back on it when received. Amazon.com: 3-in-1 Bundle...

    I don't have the problem and gave my experiences with certain apps and stylii. My feeling is it is either due to these factors or an issue with specific units. IMO, not that many people seem to have the problem so I wouldn't say its due to the category you noted..
