Uninstall the Facebook app, then install Tinfoil for Facebook. It is a wrapper for the web-app, and is far less of a memory hog than the official FB app. It does not push notifications, but those were always more trouble than they were worth anyway.

I love the Google Now launcher because of the cards, but this thread has me wondering whether I could be getting even better battery life if I were to switch back to Touchwiz. Currently, I can go from full at 5am to 30% at 4pm with moderate use, including a total of about 90 minutes of using...

I have had my S7 for almost 3 weeks, and also am very happy with the experience. The only very minor annoyance is that the fingerprint sensor rarely detects my thumbprint on the first click (which is strange because my erstwhile Xiaomi Redmi Note 3's sensor was lightyears better at a third of...

I just manually checked, downloaded, and applied an update with identical build numbers here in Jakarta. However, my download was around 260 MB. I have not noticed any UI or functionality changes yet.

Just to play Devil's Advocate... IP68 rating should mean that one can (briefly) take underwater pictures with the phone. 1,5 meters for up to 30 minutes... Samsung even has an advertisement with the phone receiving a "champagne shower" in it!

I pre-ordered the gold colored S7 here in Jakarta. Carrier:none. Currently shows a shipping date of 25 March. Since that date is a national holiday (Good Friday; Indonesia has national holidays for 5 different religions), I am hoping that it will actually ship the day before. Anybody else...

Thank you very much for the quick response!

I have pre-ordered an S7 in Indonesia; would like to root it in order to remove Samsung apps and make some other changes. How long does it usually take for rooting instructions to be published?

Does this charger work with 220 volt electrical outlets (common outside USA), or does it only work with 110 volt outlets?

I am also curious about this. Waterproofing, Snapdragon 820, plus 4 Gigs of RAM make the S7 seem like formidable competition for the Nexus 6p. When will unlocked versions become available?

I have a rooted Nexus 5 which is still on Lollipop 5.0 because it failed to update both times when I tried to upgrade to 5.1. Is it possible to upgrade directly from 5.0 to 6.0? Or must I first upgrade to 5.1?
