So, I just sent my S7 Edge in for repairs under warranty. It stopped reading SD cards a few months ago (which I didn't care about so much at the time) but then the other day I was presented with a permanent neon green line of pixels running down the edge of the display.

Anyone else have any of these issues?

So i took my s7 edge in today (ADH Samsung), all went well except they would not give me a replacement phone, they said my insurance must take care of it.....
But it clearly states on South Africa's Samsung site, they smart switch the phone.........

My dad did the delivery, so i could not confront them, but before i do, just what to know from here .....?
Anyone else had experience before (ADH), have they maybe stopped that policy now (SMART-SWITCH) ?

I understood loan phone to be part of the premium pick up drop off service, not walk in centres.

ok, did not know that, so only if they picked up my phone they would give my another to use until they repaired it ?

You've always managed to get crazy battery life stats. Do you use battery saving mode & like 1 app? :D

Most i get is about 4H30min Screen on time (no power saving mode - Brightness on auto WiFi, Location and Bluetooth always on)

Same here. Don't see the need to have power saving, low brightness, etc which hampers your experience with the phone, all to chase some SOT stat. When my phone lasts the whole day anyway

Hi Everyone. After ditching Apple, I got myself the Tab S2 and Galaxy S7.

Just 2 questions:

1. I bought a Vodacom contract S7 (has the startup Vodacom logo), but want to try Nougat. Must I wait until Vodacom pushes the update, or is there a firmware version I can use to flash? Does it influence in any way the workings of the phone on the network or warranty?

2. Finding a screen protector that works is a nightmare. First time I found this with a phone. Ever since putting on the Body Glove glass protector (full coverage - http://www.takealot.com/body-glove-...-guard-for-samsung-s7-gold-borde/PLID41473203), response on the screen is not what it used to be. I may be imagining things, but just seems not all touches are registered. Also in the middle it does not stick to the screen, which may attribute to the lack of responsiveness. The lady at the Vodacom outlet which installed the protector, said that the adhesive is only on the sides.

Now, with the Body glove ghost case, it works ok. But I now got myself a very sexy Spigen case (https://www.spigen.com/products/galaxy-s7-case-rugged-armor-black), and it is now much worse. I cannot see that the protector is lifted, but responsiveness is just not there.

Any suggestions on a protector that will work? I looked an Amazon also, and not one protector has a good review.

Thanks for reading.

You can get the BTU Nougat version here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/122404/G935FXXU1DQB3_G935FOXA1DQB1_BTU/ . I am using it and loving it.

You can use Fanie's guide for the install: https://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showth...rs-Guide-1-Flashing-Official-Samsung-Firmware

Someone stole my TabS2, although I blocked it, it still pisses me off.

Regarding screen protectors, if you have a Spigen, you require the Spigen screen protectors as they are specifically designed for their cases.
