    Cases that will eliminate the texting problem with the curved screen?

    The whole point of the S7 Edge is the sleek streamline looks and slimmed down size with curved screen which is a major selling point of this phone. However when you put a bulky case on it, not only does it defeat the two points above, it looks like any other bulky phone out there... "What...

    Got a large G935VVRS2APF2 update that took 10 minutes to load a few minutes ago. How many of you got it and what was it? My phone got quite hot while it was updating. Almost too hot to handhold. Is that normal?

    Help Can't add a "Restricted" number to "Add to Block List"???

    Help After factory or hard reset, are updates current or not?

    Just did a factory hard reset due to problems. Do I need to redo the several updates since March 1th or is it current? When I checked Settings/System updates it said: Your SAMSUNG SM-G935V is up to date. No update is necessary at this time.

    Might be time to return phone for 2nd time!

    I've had more problems with the S7 Edge than I ever had with the Note 4 which had none! First time I took phone back exactly two months after I bought it was because the screen was freezing all the time. Even after getting the new phone, the microSD card only works part time. Usually I have to...

    Game Service problems! How do I disable or delete it???

    Game Service constantly updates on my phone. Like 8-10 times a day. It is a pain in the *ss! Is it possible to get rid of game service altogether? I don't really play games on my phone. Or maybe even just how to stop the notification? I've gone into Notifications, Applications and can't find...

    Took my S7 Edge back for a new one today. Freezing issues.

    Ever since March 11th, I've had the screen freeze on me about 2-4 times a day. I would have to either push the home button or turn the on/off button to get it to work again.

    Help Anyone else get a large update yesterday?

    Did anyone get a large update yesterday. I notice it was quite large and took about 15 minutes. Is that a firmware? or just software updates? How do I find and check what was loaded on my phone? I'm hoping it fixes my screen that freezes a few times a day.

    As nice as the front looks, the rear housing sucks!

    All the reviews are raving about how nice the S7 & S7 Edge looks... I agree about most of it, but for me the back sucks as if you look closely you will see it has too many logo's & fine printing on the back. The next time you get the chance, turn over your phone and look closely under bright...

    This slippery & fingerprint magnet Edge needs some help....

    I love the looks of the S7 Edge, but it is way to slippery and a fingerprint magnet... and the fact they clutter the rear housing with Verizon logo, the Samsung S7 Edge logo AND if you look real hard in bright lights, they have some fine prints with a garbage can that you can see... very faint...

    Low light photo's are quite good with the S7 Edge!

    I was impressed with the low light ability of the S7 Edge. I shot this pic at 5am this morning of Gig Harbor, WA. This was hand held with no tripod, so quite good considering. Not quite DSLR level though. Can I see some of your low light shots with the S7 Edge?

    Help Will my Gear S smartphone work with Verizon?

    I had the Note 4 & the Gear S with AT&T and it worked great. I only connected with Blue Tooth and text mail. I didn't have to pay extra either. However, since I dumped AT&T and signed up at Verizon, and got a new S7 Edge, my Gear S smartwatch won't work? I figured at least Bluetooth would work...

    On my last Note 4 and current S7 Edge I have block calls set up as I get more calls than I like from all over the country. I don't answer any of them, but place them in the reject calls / block calls category then delete them. Yet when any of them call back it shows up as block calls as a...

    I ordered a set of skins from Dbrand over the weekend, shipped on 21st.

    Help How to disable miss call notification on lock screen?

    Whenever I have a missed call, that annoying notification appears on my lock screen. When I press "clear" it goes away temporarily, but after a reboot it just comes right back.
