Everytime I have to get back into my phone I have to put my pin code in. This is beyond aggrevating as many times as I have toget back into my phone when the screen shuts off. I didn't have to do this with my Note 7. Just got my S7 Edge today.

Where in settings is a way to disable having to put the pin in?
 
Settings - Lockscreen and security - secure lock settings - secured lock time - set between 15 seconds and one hour
 
Unlock by location; e.g., when connected to home wifi:

Lockscreen and security > secure lock settings > smart lock
 
Settings - Lockscreen and security - secure lock settings - secured lock time - set between 15 seconds and one hour
This is what I do-usually have it set to lock after say 1 minute, but if I'm exercising I'll set it for after 30 minutes. Also, make sure you don't have it checkmarked "lock instantly with power key". The fingerprint is nice because you just place any registered finger for a moment and it's unlocked.
