Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge

tbh unless you're a professional photographer, they'll always come out blurry when the object you're taking pics off is moving

This is with any Google account you try to use on the play store? It could just be that the Google account you're using is linked to a college or something, and they have it disabled.

Nope nothing to do with the email, Play store just doesn't open at all no matter what you do , of course the fella I bought it off never told me any of this the prick

You can try resetting your phone and start as new. Take back-up of your data before that.

Paint has started to peel off my home button, out of nowhere! Anybody had any experience with this and getting it replaced? I know it's been mentioned here before but don't think anyone got it fixed, could be wrong though.

Phone is still under the 2 year warranty, contacted Samsung support and there only suggestion was to send it away to the UK for 7 business days for an engineer to look at. Couldn't say whether they would replace under warranty or whether I would need to pay. Decided against sending away as I can't be without it for that long. May be in London at the end of the month so was told to call into a Samsung Support Centre for them to look at it.

Amazed that there is no Samsung Support Centre in Ireland, there is one on Belfast but not going to travel up there for it.

When the glass started to lift off the back of my S7 Edge I brought my phone into the Samsung shop in Dundrum Town Centre and they sent it off for repair.
All done under warranty. I had my phone back in 3 days.

How recent was that and was it done free of charge under warranty?

It was about 6 months ago, all done free of charge.

I got my phone in April 2016 so it was done under the standard 2 year warranty.

My quick charging has stopped, do I need a new charger?

Mad expensive. My edge finally gave up the ghost so ended up picking up a perfect S7 in Cex for 270.

brianregan09

That's where I got mine just before christmas for 250 . Am i better off just going in and getting a new one again ?

Yeah I would say get a new one or second hand one the edge screens are glued on thats why they are so expensive. None of the cheap repair places will even touch them at all.

Do yourself a favour and stick an otterbox defender or similar chunky full covered case on it if you do get a new one.

brianregan09

I have a hardcase on it , I was getting out of the car and it fell out of my pocket must have hit a stone on the road or something because it's fallen a few times before same with my last phone the S6 and nothing ever happened , It's not an edge I have either just the standard one

Yeah I was the same. Had an otterbox commuter one that just covers the back and sides and same as you let it fall, it happened to fall face first directly onto a pebble on the ground or something. So got the defender which covers the front too for this one.

Any sign of Oreo?

Mr E

Just out of beta for the S8. They're working on Oreo for the S7 now. A few more months at least, I'd say.

mutley18

I was looking to buy an S7 Edge, should I wait until the S9 is out? Would the price likely drop by then?

long_b

Just got the March security update on Eir

Ardent

I feel like this Oreo update is never going to come!

Oreo update available this morning. I'm on Vodafone

Mr E

Nice one. Downloading.

BionicRasher

Oreo update installed. On Vodafone.
Like it a lot so far. Still digging into it but I like the small changes so far

Got Oreo on 3 this morning as well.
Not seen much to get excited about yet.

guil

Downloading now on Vodafone. Thanks.

MiskyBoyy

Oh wow, picture in picture feature is very nice

BionicRasher

Snooze notification is also good

Mc Love

Nothing on Virgin yet

How has the battery life/performance been ?
I'm kind of reluctant to update my s7 yet as Nougat left me with a big decrease in both !

Mr E

Seems the same. I'm always near a charger anyway...

Anyone received the Oreo update on Eir?

Mc Love

Do carriers release the update or does it come directly from your manufacturer?

Carriers release them, most of the unbranded phones get their updates first you can check it here if there;s already an update for your phone.

Asked same question to Virgin and they say they dont release OS updates :pac:

Ardent

Downloaded this morning (Vodafone) and it's great. Love the UI enhancements, battery life is really good so far, and finally have LDAC to go with my Sony Bluetooth headphones. Very happy camper here.

Mc Love

how much would be expected to buy one second hand? 350-400?

rizzee

I bought mine for 380 new in box from a shop in Dublin over a year ago. Seem to be still going for strong money. Stretch 400-500 and you're oging into S8 territory and a seriously well-worth upgrade from the S7e. S9 release is dropping the price down too.

frozenfrozen

Good update a lot faster mine had slowed down but back to nippy again

Reckon Eir will be another few weeks. If memory serves correct, we've normally got updates way after other carriers.

Can anyone tell me what this notification symbol on an S7 is? Its like a smiley face without eyes, its in the top left of the screen. Does anyone know what app its for? Its not o my phone but on a screenshot i got.

I got mine on Eir yesterday morning. Goes by your firmware version. I switched mine to EU SIM free one ages ago, doesn't have WiFi calling though which I think you get on Eir.

Got my Oreo update yesterday for my S7 Edge, I am on Vodafone.
