Samsung Galaxy S7

Spigen. You need to recess the camera lens do you don't get scratches. Spigen have excellent cases that do exactly that.

So last night I decided I'll try the wireless charger from my S6 to see if it will be more reliable with my S7.

Well.

I woke up this morning with my phone on 97%. Checked the battery stats and it stopped being on charge almost 4 hours before that. So I guess not.

Back in the drawer it goes.

I have 5 "fast chargers" received from China that charge like this.
They say Samsung Fast Charger on them but have no fans, that's why I'm selling them at R295 each.

I bought one of these snug wireless chargers

A wireless charger is just a coil with a fancy outside.
If you just want a standard wireless charger I can sell you one for R165 that does the job equally as fast as one that is R445 and has a fancy name.
On the other hand a genuine fast wireless charger... I can't wait to try one of those on my S7.

Did not work for my s5. Scratches right on lens face. Spigen overrated.
Also, turns elegant device into pocket tank.

The one that came with my phone is very close to fast usb charging.

Then it is probably a fast wireless charger. They use induction, so there will always be heat - and a power loss to some degree.

Yea it is a fast charger. I put it next to my bed at home but brought it to work now. Very convenient.

A how to do it. Most we know, but still worth reading.

As per last, why bother?

I'm just asking. I root because I use Titanium Backup. Did the software copy all of your old phone stuff (apps + data) to your S7?

Mine did. It didn't get all the settings right though.

Yea, just put them back to back then plug then into each other.

I only did the back 2 back thing.

I used My Backup Pro as my S7 Edge arrived totally drained at 0%. I couldn't unplug to use the OTG adapter so I just transferred everything from my Tab S2.

Hmmm... That could be an issue with apps that have tons of settings. That's why I love Ti. I also want to disable the heads up notifications, and you need root for that. I hate having my whatsapp messages just pop up in front of the screen and then everyone can see them. I prefer the older style, where it sits in the top left corner.

Cool.

Does that actually, like, stick to S7??
If so, what is to prevent you from getting sticky shelving paper and carefully making your own skin?
Another suggestion...
If you just want to prevent the camera lens from getting scratched you can get sticky clear plastic that the kids use on their books. You will have to measure and get a bit creative, but it should save you a pretty penny. That way you can cover the camera lens and then put any protective case you like on your S7.
