samsung galaxy s7

Hello. (Samsung Galaxy S7) All of the sudden this black bar appears at the bottom of my screen, ..it's a little bit over 1/8".....it doesn't bother me except can't see bottom of the icons on text messages and a few apps. My phone and battery are fine, and internet is fine except this black bar...

Hi All, Today my wife's Galaxy S7 (with Android 8) started to behave strange. It started to want her to install Google Pay (and ask for credit card number) and various things stopped working correctly. It also showed a second Chrome icon (looked a little bit different than the other one). We...

I'm trying to help my mother. We transferred photos via USB cord using File Explorer. Not all the photos on her Samsung Galaxy S7 phone showed in Explorer. For example, there were 16 photos she took on one day and only 9 showed in the phone's DCIM folder, yet we could see them on her phone...

How do you unscramble eggs? So...woke up to my GS7 unresponsive. Only thing seemingly active was the notifications blue light in the upper left hand corner. Without getting into too much detail, at this point I haven't a clue... After reading this, that, the other, and trying one, two...

Anyone know of any good FREE backup software for PC that will allow me to backup my Galaxy S7 completely? Contacts, pictures, etc etc..

Disregard, I got the phone replaced and have learned from my mistake :(

I've had my S7 for about a month and really like it. The battery life has been very good for me lasting at least 12 hrs. under normal use. Today the battery has drained twice as fast and when I check the battery usage it shows weather channel at the top using 37%. I've had the weather channel...

I ended up getting the 128gb samsung pro card, since upfront that's what I saw was compatible with 4k video. I ended up paying around 80 bucks for it and realize it's a very good card. However I'm wondering if I could've gone with a better option with 200gb? I realize the card I have now has...

Lately I've had a few random times there's been high battery drain on my S7 Edge from different sources. The Weather Channel app has done it a few times....so I was thinking it was just problem with that app until it happened again last night & it ended up being the Play Store. Anyone else...

I have a Galaxy S7 running Android 6.01. The default clock app has an alarm clock feature and I can't figure out how to delete an alarm. The alarm display has an alarm clock icon on the left, the time in the middle, then the date, and a little "x" in the upper-right corner. Tapping any part...

Hi guys, I was hoping someone can point me in the right direction/had a similar experience resolved: my work phone is showing the attached set of ads randomly when I unlock my S7. After clicking through one of the ads I thought it might be related to Facebook, but I can’t find any specific...

with the recent cold snap (below 30) my S Health map is showing me all over the place, the steps mileage time and so on are good, but the map is showing me all over the place. I have not had the issue in weather above 30 or so. Any thoughts...

Hello everyone, I've been going mad trying to solve this, hoping anyone could be of help here. I've owned my S7 with Bell for about a year now, and a month ago my AUX port started acting up. When I plug it into my car (Dodge Caravan 2011), I get what sounds like a feedback loop. It's a constant...

Hi I've had my Galaxy S7 for almost a year now but just before Christmas it started freezing requiring a reboot. It would then freeze while restarting and require rebooting again. Sometimes it'd make it to the lock screen only to freeze again, other times it'd boot up but freeze a minute or so...

I have Notification Reminders turned on for messages. When my Do Not Disturb is on, my phone still sounds out reminders. My Do Not Disturb settings are as follows: - Scheduled between 11PM and 8:30 AM - Allow Alarms - Allow Calls from All - All other settings are turned off It appears that...

Hi Guys, My battery was great when I got the phone but has been horrible lately. I am not sure what is causing it...

Hi, I noticed battery drain was quite high today so looked at my usage. I've attached screenshots, but basically I have been on battery since 7 this morning, and wifi has been using battery for all bar 2 mins of this. This is odd as my WiFi has been turned off since 7.30 this morning. I...

Im looking to get a fast charging car chager and im wondering if qualcomm 3.0 will work with the s7 edge. Thanks

I'm about to chuck this thing in the river! Just got the s7. I was so excited to finally be replacing my s5 active. The rep at the store had me use smart switch, or something like that to transfer everything over. Got home and started really playing with it, and nothing would work. I keep...

Hello, I have two problems: (1) On my Galaxy S7 I had disabled 'Slacker Radio', 'NFL Mobile', and 'Caller ID' by pressing down and dragging the icons to trashcan icon. Afterwards, I went to GooglePlay and installed free version of "Avast Mobile Security" app. Then, I tried to disable 'VZ...

I searched and couldn't find a thread, strangely, as it seems it's not just me with this issue https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/forums/v3_1/forumtopicpage/board-id/GalaxyS/thread-id/12286/highlight/true/page/2 Samsung support wouldn't fix it under warranty and I was told to post a letter(!)...

I'm happy with my Edge but where I used to get through a day with moderate use, now I find the phone running dry early evening. Using various apps, I can see the average screen on drain is 20%. Does this sound correct? If so, what steps would you advise to try and work out what the problem...

I used the Clock app every day on my S5. So when I moved to the S7 and saw the familiar icon I thought everything would be the same. Just the icon is the same, everything else is different. The S7 app works great, however the alarm tone called "Pure Tone" is not a choice anymore. I still have my...

I need either a pin or my fingerprint to unlock my phone. Why is it when I have it in my pants pocket it is able to unlock and dial someone?
