Nice to see I wasn't only one! I took mine back. Ordered a black one

you didn't want to try another silver one?

I noticed a crash when trying to get into the Do Not Disturb settings.

I had a weird event 3 times today.

Home button and previous apps button quit working. Had to use back arrow to get anywhere. Rebooting fixed it every time. Hasn't happened in about 4 hours now. I dunno?

Big fan of the S7 (just like i was of the S5 and S6!)

Have found one issue that I cannot figure out. In short, I cant seem to pair the phone to my 2011 Benz E550 (W211). It pairs but then it does not allow phone or mediia connection. Interesting enough, it does keep the contact connection. Have tried to reset / re-pair the phone several times, same for the head unit on the car. I have paired other headsets to the phone and it seems to be OK. Just to my car... Note the S6 worked fine.

Any suggestions?

I just got my S7 Edge yesterday, its been working all day until now. I'm having this same thing, but a reboot ISN'T fixing it! The home button works to wake the screen, so I know its registering it but once the device is unlocked hitting Home doesn't do anything. The back button works, but he other one does (the one to the left of home.. Task Manager/previous apps?) doesn't do anything either. I tried to uninstall some of the last apps which may have been updated but no luck... I just got everything set up the way I had it before - I really dont want to have to wipe this thing and start over..

Is this rear camera distortion problem in every S7? Clearly visible in the straight lines. I have Sony sensor in my Edge.

This is taken with my phone:

This thread is not giving me the warm fuzzies about my first android phone. Already thinking about swapping for an iPhone 6s if my experience goes like some of these.

I was just thinking the same thing, except I don't use an iphone, I have an Experia Z3.

Anyone having issues with "dead spots" on the screen. I touch the screen and nothing happens, touch again and it responds...

Haven't had issues like that. Suggest you download the app "phone tester" one of the options is multi-touch you can basically touch the screen and it lights up. Would be a good way to test your screen.

Very nice little app. Tells you a lot about your phone. Great tool to have.

I personally am happy with mine so far. Is there any specific issues you're having? Didn't go through every page

I received my edge yesterday. My only complaint so far is that my screen flickers. Especially, when the brightness is set below 50% or with auto-brightness turned on. Any idea why that might be happening?

When does it flicker? Random?

Anyone having issues with Fingerprint recognition?

Thanks - doing that now..

It flickers randomly: on the lock screen sometimes, on the home screen sometimes, almost all the time when using auto-brightness. It seems to be alot less noticeable the brighter the screen is set to,

I actually saw an improvement over the S6 recognition process. So, no issues...

Eh, that's what the forums are for. You'll find issues in every phone thread, especially right after release.

My fingerprint scanner has been great. I come from Note 4 so for me it was a big jump when I don't have to swipe my finger and can just hold it for a sec and it opens up.
When registering your fingerprint do you scan every part of your finger or just one spot multiple times?
