    Samsung Pay - I'm a Moron!!

    Yeah, the banks are slow in opting into Samsung Pay and/or Android Pay, but Wells Fargo is on there now (still waiting for Capital One though). Which is great because it's just in time for me to use it on my new GS7 Edge. :cool:

    Gear VR Promotion Success/Failure Thread: please post whether you are successful ...

    T-Mobile is who I ordered the phone from and my status on Samsung's site now shows "Fulfillment Pending." It looks like many of us are now close to having them shipped. :cool:

    Post homescreen screenshots taken on your Samsung S7 Edge!

    Here's my home screen screenshot so far. I keep it free of all my app icons on the top and middle of the screen-

    S7 edge Battery life

    Re: S7 edge Batter life Had mine since Tuesday. Here's my most recent usage (forgot to screenshot the screen on time but it was almost 3 hours). I have location on, no powersaving modes enabled, LTE connection (T-Mobile with usually 4-5 bars, though it's showing one in the screen shot), etc...

    Always On Display - You leaving on or off?

    Mine is off. Only showing Samsung apps makes it useless. I have my Moto 360 V2 on all the time except when I'm asleep so I can see my notifications, time, etc. on it already.

    "I've ordered my Galaxy S7 Edge!" (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    That's after a few charge cycles. Used about 10% more today (70% left after about 12 hours vs 80% previous day after 12 hours) due to a few hours of voice calls and an extra 45 minutes of web browsing than the previous day. Sometimes there are one or two apps that eat into the battery. Android...

    "I've ordered my Galaxy S7 Edge!" (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    The battery on this thing is fantastic so far. Of course I disabled/uninstalled many apps and such, but it's been great so far. About an hour and 45 minutes of screen on time plus being connected to my Moto 360 V2 (and using the Moto 360 with Ok Google, etc). After over 12 hours and it's only at...

    It's completely normal to get heated up when fast charging. If you turn the fast charging off it won't do that. It says on the bottom of the battery settings page that the device may become hot when using the fast cable charging.

    "I've ordered my Galaxy S7 Edge!" (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    My Gold S7 Edge arrived at 5pm Tuesday. Spent hours setting it up. Only a few T-Mobile apps included and you can uninstall a few and disable the others (except the T-Mobile app). I love it so far. Here is my current home screen-

    No problems on the Netflix offer. As long as you ordered between 2/23 and 3/18 it will be honored.

    "I've ordered my Galaxy S7 Edge!" (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    Mine is now on the way from T-Mobile and will be here Monday. The strange thing is that on My UPS, it shows as shipping via UPS Ground, not overnight, and the shipping date shows Wednesday, the 2nd of March (left New York that day). Still excited to get it tomorrow though. SD card is coming in...

    "I've ordered my Galaxy S7 Edge!" (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    Like some others who ordered over the weekend from T-Mobile (mine was ordered on the 27th around 2am), I received the email update today stating it is expected to ship March 7th - March 8th. I'm fine getting it then as it will still be here before the release date. Although I'm a little upset...

    "I've ordered my Galaxy S7 Edge!" (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    Yeah, per Samsung (I'm paraphrasing here): Costco, Sprint, Target, and Best Buy Gear VR are subject to terms of the carrier or retailer and aren't eligible for the VR straight through the Samsung Redemptions. Those of us on T-Mobile and other carriers get ours through Samsung redemptions site...
