I just now got it on my AT&T S7 Edge. It's installing as I type this.

Do you see any consistent patterns in when it shuts down or freezes up? This could include things like - does it always die at approximately the same battery percentage, and if so does it come back up (as B. Diddy mentioned) at a much lower or higher percentage than it shut down at? Does it...

Swappa currently has 9 of them on offer, ranging from $110 - $150 in "Fair" to "Good" condition. But, yeah, given the age I'm not surprised that any carrier is done trying to carry them - it's probably not going to be possible to keep a reliable enough supply of ones in saleable condition any...

Good point - thanks for the clarification. I perhaps should have been clearer - if you are talking to AT&T towers but not via a "partnered" arrangement on your AT&T-branded phone, you get updates. Straight Talk, Cricket, AT&T Prepaid, AT&T Postpaid, and probably a few others use AT&T towers...

The no-app way is to enter the service menu and change it from there. Warning - an incorrect setting in here can give you a really bad experience - however the setting I am describing will be reset by a toggle on and off of "Airplane Mode" or at worst a reboot. Change other options strictly at...

If you do not have an AT&T SIM in an AT&T-branded phone you will not receive any updates. You may be able to load it using an offline tool, I haven't ever tried it. Sometimes the stores will do a quick flash for you if you go in. No promises. If you go in when they are not busy and are very...

Re: i have been getting the same popup on my samsung s7 Sounds like you have an application running in the background that is serving up advertising from an ad network that has this scam buying ad space from them. Best bet is to disable any apps you are not using - I do recall on the Note 4...

Mine doesn't - I'm just trying to remember how I turned it off. I think I set the default system notification sound to "Silent" and then override the sound for those apps I want to make notification noises. This is on a stock/unrooted AT&T Note 4. I may not be remembering it correctly but...

Huh, changing the home page to blank has always worked on my AT&T Note 4 after a reset (in Chrome at least, I don't use anything else).

No sign of any pink lines on mine. I've heard of the problem, but never heard of it being particularly widespread.

Does yours show up on screenshots (take a screenshot of a white screen and upload it to a computer or Google Photos or something, and look at it on another screen). Alternatively you can use SideSync or Miracast to show your phone screen on a TV or another screen. If it doesn't show up in a...

Cricket is a subsidiary of AT&T and uses AT&T towers and frequencies. You should be perfectly fine buying an AT&T model of S7 Edge and using it on Cricket. There should be no need to SIM-unlock it from my understanding because it is using AT&T. However, it wouldn't hurt if you are buying used...

You know, "spoke too soon" is strong with me right now. I am literally waiting for my AT&T S7 Edge to load Oreo right now... ROFL!!!! EDIT: Nope, my bad, the AT&T site loaded the S9+'s data when I searched for the S7 Edge while the update was loading - it was the March 2018 patch. Sorry. LOL

https://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-Galaxy-S7-Android-Oreo-update-delayed-May_id104292 PhoneArena is usually pretty good on details and light on rumors, but take random Internet story as random Internet story. Assuming it is close - it looks like, at best, the carrier-unbranded update is...

The OEM batteries are also ones that are the most subject to duplication. I've seen more than one "Smasung OEM" battery where they actually posted a picture that says "Smasung"! I've had excellent luck with Anker.
