Samsung Galaxy S7

[DeeinSouthAfrica]

Hi all, any idea when the S7 Flat will get Nougat?

In South Africa? No idea. If you are impatient, download and install the UK version. This has been mentioned again and again in this thread.
Here is the Sammobile link to the countries and who has 7.0

I do, if my battery goes below to 10% and I cannot charge it, I use the Ultra Power Saving feature.

Hi Guys, Sister managed to crack the LCD on her s7 edge. Samsung wants R3900 to repair as this isn't covered under ADH. Anyone know where it can be repaired for cheaper?

Really? Not covered?

I thought it was

You can also change change screen to greyscslae without slowing everything else down. Saves a lot of power cos of that.

ADH is only for a 12 month period commencing from the date purchased. Beware, for some of us, this date is March 11th.
Also, if you bought 2nd hand there is no ADH.

Its crazy to think... Our phones are almost a year old. Longest i have ever had a device...

Must say I am loving Nougat, Always On Display is now truly useful and Grouping of Notifications is very convenient, very happy with it so far.

Doze-On-the-Go also doing it's bit, the phone barely uses any battery in Stand By.

Is root available yet?

Yup, S7 LCD/Touchscreen
Price: R3 180,00
This is the s7 flat not the edge. The edge is R5980. Not worth it, may as well go to Samsung.


eBay are NOT cheaper - when it comes to Samsung parts they have never been cheap.
This is the cheapest I can find on eBay:
A+ For Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge G935A G935T G935F LCD Screen Touch Digitizer Gold
ZAR 3,609.34

Then you still have to find someone to fit, or rely on a YouTube tutorial.

Thanks! guess best to just do it with Samsung then

dont think the second part is correct.

Taken my s6 and s5 to samsung before for a fix, both were second hand and no problem with ADH. Both were in the warranty period.

Only if you have the papers. Ever try walking into somewhere like Smartlab without papers? Not a fun thing to do.
