No, there is a problem there.
Kill all recent apps running. Reboot into recovery. Clear cache. Reboot. Monitor for improvements.

So the one vodashop in Tygervalley Centre told me that the canal walk Vodacom store sometimes has technicians on site who can fix Samsung phones on the spot. Is that true?

Just called to find out when the collection will happen. Was told it's not happening today as they have no loan phones (tried to get me to give it to them without a loan phone again, I declined as I want a hostage due to other posts on mybroadband).

They say they will call me when one becomes available.

How do you backup an S7 with smarts switch considering my loan phone might be an LG G3 from a friend?

Also, is it going to be best to wipe my S7 before handing it over?

I just turned mine off (has password and Fingerprint) but likely best.

They ended up sending me a s5 after all my emails and Facebook messages.

I used switch on windows but that was because I knew it would be a Samsung to Samsung.

This was with mostly WiFi usage.

Wow thats amazing. This phone never dissapoints.

Are you mostly on WiFi or 4G?

I can tell you now, as frugal as the Modems are in these newer Smartphones, they still chow far more battery on HSDP&4G vs. WiFi.

Indeed. But I must admit, to get such great stats one has to be on WiFi mostly. Luckily my iPad works as a LTE modem most of the time e.g. when at home, when at work and when driving with my work bag in the car.

I'd say take away 2hours SIT if I was using HSDPA or 4G, it still great performance, thanks to the huge battery this thing has, but I wish the Modems would become more power efficient and our infrastructure improve so we can get similar stats to WiFi.

Yay phone is coming back tomorrow.

32 inches? Hot damn, that's insulting isn't it? "Jump through many many hoops after buying your flagship cellphone and you just might be able to get a postage-stamp-sized TV."

Did anyone get a Software Update notification that turned out to be nothing? Very weird
