It's smooth because it is as basic and limited as it gets. It better be at least smooth if it can't do much else. But for basic phone operation, if that is all your need your phone for, it is a solid choice, no doubt. 2016 - you can't reject an incoming call if your phone is locked - really...

Curious why. You stated earlier you only use the phone for games and communication. What would there be to check other than communication (for which you would be notified by the notification light)?

I went to iPhone briefly (6 months) and I never got used to that. You end up checking your phone 20x a day for no other reason than to see if you missed something. How else are you going to know when you move away from your phone for some time? Hated that!

Touchwiz is fine for me too but I can't stand how the carriers aggressively push crap on us and load the phones with stuff that no one uses, especially FB. Google does that too but I use and like most of their stuff already so I'm okay with it.

:-)) Sorry, don't know if there is one coming out but would buy one in a split second! I feel the S7 has finally made it to a level I would consider "well designed and put together hardware". Not much left to wish for, everything is just about perfect. Now if we could only get pure vanilla...

I've disabled all crapware except the Google. Use package disabler pro and have turned off almost all suggested packages, use Greenify to put it into doze quicker but nothing else (an experimental feature under advanced), have limited the background usage on a lot of apps, No VOLTE, no WiFi...

I was all Android from day one. Switched to Apple last year and at first loved it. After a few month I started missing Android. Almost went to Nexus 5x and 6P. Finally made the jump with S7 which I mostly love. Finally quality hardware running Android. It's not perfect but it's pretty damn...

I'm on Tmobile (US), bad service at home so all wifi there and perfect service at work, PDP with 93 packages disabled, phone is pretty optimized overall, very few apps running fore and background, 3 email account refresh every hour - looking at almost 7 hrs of screen on time according to the...

I only used Greenify for that one feature and worked fine, the phone went into doze pretty quick (few minutes). After the latest firmware update, it seems to have stopped working. At the same time, the update seems to have improved battery life dramatically because I thought the phone went into...

Hi guys, is the Smart Manager app that comes preinstalled on the s7 good enough to keep the phone clean of residual cache files, empty folders etc.? Or do you all use a third party app for this and if so, which one? I had one installed but it was infested with ads and was sucking battery juice...

Hi guys, so I noticed on my TMo S7 that if I disable all default packages (all pink colored), everything works fine except I can't send picture messages via Hangouts which is my preferred messaging app. For those of you who use PDP and have seen this happening on your phones, do you know...

I've tried the same with a file hosted on a server and it does not work. It didn't work on my iPhone when I had it either though.

^^^ Exactly!

Would love to know how you have your phone optimized. Mind sharing?
