Galaxy S7 Edge - early issues thread

[recDNA]

Sounds like lots of issues. Some people may have them and not even know it like I seldom use video recorder and never use snapchat.

I find that my split screen app keeps popping up like I'm holding down the multitasking button.

I've noticed the same thing on my vzw edge. There's an app on the playstore that disables the multiwindow function and that seems to have fixed it but it also turns off the ability to multitask window... Kind of a crappy comprise

This article shows the Exynos as having a 10-30% better battery life and describes the Snapdraon 820 as, "Relatively poor battery performance", It also notes the poor audio and video slo-mo for the U.S. models which we have seen complaints about on this and other forums.

Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge: Snapdragon 820 vs Exynos 8890

Also, the overclocked quad core Snapdragon is noticeably slower than Samsung's own octa core Exynos as this video demonstrates...

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

Did you ever get a resolution for this? I'm having the same issue. Whenever I try to go into do not disturb settings the settings app crashes.

I did. I opened up those settings by long pressing the DND quick settings from the notification panel. After that, I was able to open up those settings from the regular settings page.

This worked perfectly. Thanks!!

Every morning my screen lock settings are changing from one minute after screen shut down to twenty minutes. What in the world? Seems like a security issue.

This is still happening every single day. So dumb! Probably something AT&T jacked up.

I saw a GS7 Edge on Swappa today that looked like the paint on the home button had started peeling off. It looked black in some places. Thats weird because I thought it was covered by glass.

 

[andrew_ackley]

Anyone seen this before? You think Samsung would cover this under warranty?

My US version of the Verizon S7 edge did a factory reset on its own. I now have no access because it asks for a synced gmail account. I have 2 accounts synced and it recognizes neither. It says it needs the owners email. I am the only owner. Verizon's solution? I wait 3 days to get a refurbished unit in the mail. It's 18 days old and is my primary work number.

Guys I am having an issue with the glass at area arround the speaker grill . There is a spot around it which is a bit darker black and looks like a smudge. When seen under direct light it is very easy to notice. I cannot determine though whether this is something at the top of the glass or inside and whether that might have compromised the water resistance. Does any one of you has a similar issue or experience which such a problem and what is the best thing to do. Here in my country I must wait about 30 days if I return it under warranty so if it is just a cosmetic issue I can live with it.

It does look like the glass might be lifting some, does it change at all if you press on the area?

No, it does not change at all. It just looks like a smudge but cannot be cleaned so I'm guessing it's something inside.

Water damage maybe?

Nope, hasn't been wet since I bought it, which was about two and a half weeks ago.

Seems like the vibration motor on mine has cut out. Anyone else had this issue?

If you can go to the store I bet they'd replace it if they have any replacements on hand.
