    OK Google. Send text message .. How to set default number?

    My dad is 83 and has the S7 Edge as do I. He wants to be able to send a text message by using OK Google. For some reason when he asks it to send a message to me it offers up loads of different phone numbers. He is hard of hearing and eyesight not crystal clear so this is an added...

    Photos taken with the S7/S7 Edge

    I took the McDonalds photo because I had taken one a month or so earlier with Fuji X100S and was amazed at the quality. The S7 while ok, was no where near the same quality.

    It is a pity the OP is not a duck.

    Does anyone find S Health useful?

    No, I hate it. I only use it to access the heart rate monitor. I wish there where other apps that could use that sensor. I am not an athlete or someone on a health kick. I don't need 99% of that it does. It just seems awkward to to what I want with it. Hate it on the Note 3 too.

    Any problems with accidentally touching the edge?

    Handing the phone to others to show them something is the biggest problem. I have the Samsung Clear Case and have got used to where I can safely grip the phone without touching the screen, although getting it out of your shirt pocket without loosing the call is similar to trying to extract the...

    Turn off burst setting?

    My dad is 82 and is often going into burst mode accidentally by keeping the button held too long. Being hard of hearing too he doesn't hear the sounds from the phone very well so does not notice this is happening. It is a pity it cannot be turned off from the default camera app. I never happens...

    About Samsung clear cover

    If it doesn't touch the screen then how is that the fault of the case? You could equally say "I have heard many users get scratches on their screen from gluing their phone to a brick, any experiences here?" Just have a care where you put your phone and you will be ok.

    Fingerprint scanner security - 15 minutes between attempts

    The only time my fingerprint scanner does not work, I can usually put it down to me touching it in a way that I never did whilst it was learning my print. I have my two thumbs and my right index finder stored. That seems to cover all ways I hold the phone while powering on. This is my 1st...

    In real life, how often do you use the edge? Is it useful?

    To be honest it's no use to me but more of an issue in trying to hold the phone without touching the screen. I prefer the look of the edge to edge screen but I cannot see that you couldn't do the same tasks with a standard flat screen (apart from edge lighting) If the S7 was the same size as...

    Galaxy S4 four times faster then Galaxy S7 on same WIFI 5ghz network

    Mine seems fine. First image is from the S7 and the 2nd image is to the same server from my hard wired Mac. I'd say at least in my case the S7 is wringing every bit of speed from the connection.

    Warning. Do not install Samsung Carmode!

    I need my eyes testing. I read the title of the thread and thought Samsung had branched out a bit by developing commodes. I hadn't thought of installing one anyway as we have a flush lavatory here.

    Heart rate apps?

    I hope your are having fun with your new phone. I am still playing with mine like a kid on Christmas morning :) Yeah I know S-Health does it, but was wondering if the sensor uses a standard API in the hope that other apps will make use of it.

    Anyone using the samsung clear protective case?

    I have it on my gold S7E. I didn't want to hide the gold behind an opaque case. It looks fab. I find that the lumps on the corners are enough for me to get a good grip of the phone. Sorry about the poor photos but I didn't take them with a view to posting them anywhere. The back is clear...

    What keyboard do you use?

    I had been making so many mistakes on the sock samsung keyboard that I have given Swifkey a try. If it doesn't make my typing/swiping more accurate at least it has more control over the appearance.

    Monospaced fonts?

    Does anyone know the name a of a monospaced font that will work on this phone? I have looked through the selection offered from the setting and and also the ones you see if you click +Download but non say they are monospaced or indeed LOOK monospaced in the previews.
