Que? It was a dirty flash

Reading about that issue of yours, seems to start when apps or games are moved to an “external" SD card.

Ah, but the answer is no.

BTU did also not solve the faceservice issue with the dirty flash.

Will just disable it now.

Seems to be related to the camera.

I like that I can choose 30 pics from my gallery and a different pic will show each time I unlock the phone. That's a cool feature.. I also appreciate that TripAdvisor is not 'hardwired' into the S7.

How do I enable that? I've been using an app from the PlayStore for the same purpose on my S6.

On the lockscreen? Just go to settings, wallpaper, select lockscreen in the top left and it will then ask you to start selection

Thanks Fanie. But I guess I'll be sticking to the Wallpaper Changer app. I prefer to keep the lock screen as a constant image and discover a new home screen every time I unlock.

In other news...

Seems this is the Droid I was looking for

Finding this phone quite slippery, will want to find a case to make it more grippy on the sides. Anyone with a tempered glass screen protector, does it make the phone feel noticeably less slim?

Also seems this phone is designed for left handed people. Volume buttons are placed on the left, opposite to the Sony Xpera Z2 where the volume buttons are on the right. Same goes for the 'back' button, assuming Samsung wanted to be different to the standard Android setup.

Same place the back, home volume, power etc buttons have always been on Samsung.

My usage on power saving mode as you can see I'm on the phone half the time and it does a full day. I went with flat as it same cpu but a smaller screen which means it has less work to do.

I had a glass screen protector.
Ended up taking it off as the sides didnt cover fully and it didnt stick to the screen on the edges for the last 2mm. As it bends slightly. (normal s7).
Don't think I will bother with one. Got a solid case for it so should be fine.

People.... these screens are scratch proof! Go waste your money on beer or something else more useful

Already started that this weekend

OTT: Why do you do that thing with your quotes? Do you read bottom up?

Not prepared to take a chance on a R16000 phone. I have a good cover and want my screen protected too. Even my s6 got a scratch...

Until you get that random bit of sand in a pocket/bag somewhere and curse the world.

Well, experience with my S5... I regulary carry it in my pocket with my 500Gb backup drive, keys or access cards. Never had an scratch from those. It fell out of my jacket last year and shattered the screen. Luckily ADH was able to replace it for me under warranty.

The screens are scratch proof, not smash proof

Still not trusting the "proof" part

How's your S4 screen look?
