    New Update Sprint G930PVPU2APE1

    I downloaded and installed yesterday for the Edge, but don't see a thread over there. Only 2 things I have really noticed are: 1) Settings icon showed a notification number before the update was finalized. Same as when you would have a text the message icon would show the number. I don't...

    Cases for the S7 edge

    I bought an Incipio at the same time I bought my Edge and didn't really like it from Day 1. Felt too flimsy and slick to the touch. Finally after 3 weeks of looking around online, I ordered the SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle for $18 on Amazon. I am very surprised at how well put together this case is...

    Samsung promotion status.

    Somewhat funny, but mostly frustrating story for me. I bought 2 phones. One an S7 Edge, one an S7, on the same date/time and from the same retailer. Submitted 2 separate claims one right after the other using the same receipt, but it had 2 distinctive line items and was very obvious I bought...

    Galaxy S7 Edge screen issue, can I get some help?

    Re: Galaxy s7 edge Screen issue During video playback only, I get green and black dots. It doesn't happen all the time, but I have noticed it in YouTube and while while watching March Madness using that app. I've watched previews of movies through the Google Play store and did not experience...

    No internet connection problems with streaming apps like Pandora, YouTube and Sirius.

    No, mine were turned on because I was on power saving. I assume if none were on for you it's because you don't have power saving on? Good distinction to make!

    Galaxy S7 Edge "No Connection" Issue Leading To App Issues

    All, I have fixed a number of these type issues by going into settings->battery->battery usage->more->optimize battery usage. Click the drop down and select all apps. Shut off the optimization in the app list for the specific app seeing issues. It appears some apps do not play well with...

    No internet connection problems with streaming apps like Pandora, YouTube and Sirius.

    I figured it out. Go to battery->battery usage->more->optimize battery usage. Click all apps in the drop down. Go through the list and shut off optimization for the specific apps (ie Pandora, Sirius, YouTube). Should cure the issue. I really didn't figure it out all on my own. Had an issue...

    No internet connection problems with streaming apps like Pandora, YouTube and Sirius.

    I still have the issue with iHeart Radio, but do not have it with Sirius. I suspect it has something to do with power saving, because the only time it happens on iHeart is when I am unplugged from a power source.

    Galaxy S7 Edge "No Connection" Issue Leading To App Issues

    I have the same problem with iHeart Radio, but do not experience it with the Sirius XM app. Happens on both wifi and over the Sprint network for me. I've set the app in power saving to 'never' and have ensured the apps are set to never restrict background data.

    Do you use always on display?

    I shut it off about 30 minutes after buying the phone. Looking at my watch is just as convenient. :)

    Green streaks while watching video

    Anyone else experiencing any green pixelation or streaks while watching video? First noticed it while watching basketball via the March madness app but have also seen the same while using you tube. Only seems to happen in areas of the screen with fast movement occurring.

    apple to android for first time ..ordered the S7 edge.

    My 16 yo son switched from the iPhone to the S7 last week and says he is glad that he did. After hearing him talk about how much he liked it my wife may be switching as well. I can also confirm the transfer of data from iPhone to S7 using SmartSwitch was as easy and painless for his phone as...

    Samsung Pay was refused by Store.

    There is no difference in the processing fees of a CC transaction whether you swipe/dip the actual plastic as opposed to using the same CC through the Samsung Pay app as for all the network knows it was a card present transaction. The woman just doesn't understand her processing fees from her...

    Gold or black?

    I will tell you I had my heart set on getting a silver one, until I walked in the store and saw how badly fingerprints stood out on it. The gold looked the same. Certainly probably doesn't bother most, but it did for me and I went with the black.

    Gmail Doesn't Work On S7 Edge

    I have spent a week trying to figure out why the heck the native email app would not work correctly. I also have Good (POS in it's own right) for work email and it would not pull new emails either unless I physically opened the app. It appears this has now fixed those issues as I have turned...
