    Galaxy S7 Edge - early issues thread

    I'm not an expert on it, but KNOX is an extra secure mode of running apps, and I believe it uses encryption and also blocks the apps inside KNOX from touching anything else on your phone. Best bet is to look it up though if you want facts :)

    Yes. I have had that problem. Usually goes away after a couple of minutes. Hopefully that gets fixed though!

    Galaxy S7 Edge - early issues thread

    I had the same issues you mentioned, and here's what ended up fixing all of them for me: I was using an old SD card, class 10, but much much slower than I thought (20mbps/10mbps). I took that out, wiped my phone, and it ran absolutely perfectly after that. I purchased a new Samsung Pro 64gb...

    I get the SD card notification after a reboot, but it lets me dismiss it and it does not return until the next reboot. Is that the same behavior you're seeing? As long as I can dismiss it, it doesnt bother me.

    Thank you captain obvious :) I do know what water is. I clearly said that the phone was completely dry, and this was for several hours after drying as well. So the water does get a little further into the speaker than it should, and definitely more so than Xperia phones I've had as well as the...

    Good to know, thank you. I waited almost an hour, and fully towel dried the phone, and the charger was acting crazy for a while. Not an ongoing problem though, it did resolve itself.

    Have not seen any problems with sync in any app. Data connection has been rock solid.

    I worded that poorly. I should have said that AFTER I turned ultra power saver off, it had trashed the google now launcher settings. So it may be a known issue, but it persists after resuming normal power mode.

    Galaxy S7 Edge - early issues thread

    Hoping we can get a thread for anyone experiencing problems with their new S7 Edge. This isnt a hate thread, I love my new phone. I am seeing a few possible issues though: 1. Straight from the box, the device is running very hot, only when screen is on. (yes, I've rebooted and closed all apps)...

    Thank you, I did try a reboot. The device is very hot and still lagging, and as far as I can tell there's nothing going on. No downloads or any app installs etc. My Nexus 5, Nexus 6P, iPhone 6, and iPad, never had this problem. Even in the same day 1 setup scenario. Really not worried yet...

    Got my S7 Edge! First impressions: BEAUTIFUL hardware. The best I have ever seen, all things considered. Major problem though, LAG LAG LAG LAG LAG....good god this thing lags.

    Awesome, UPS just updated....mine shows as being on schedule to deliver tomorrow! I have regretted every galaxy device I have ever bought, due strictly to touchwiz. This device has literally every hardware feature I want though, and that's a first for any phone for me. Also, I think they have...

    So amazon prime definitely does work on the zoom then? Is it played back through flash, and if so, how is the quality? Thanks!
