    Frustration with S7 and Do not disturb

    We had an S6 and now upgraded to the S7. My wife likes the notification reminder for texts but would like it silenced at night. We thought setting it to Do not disturb with Alarms only on would work but we still get the notifications and the reminders. Why doesn't this work?

    Can someone tell me how to unlock my screen using only my fingerprint? I keep trying to set this up but every time my screen needs unlocking it asks for my pin. It will unlock without my pin if I use my fingerprint but I can't seem to get rid of the pin unlock screen. Is it even possible?

    I have owned many Android phones in the past. I love the S7, but from day ONE, it was almost unusable. I mean, it cannot go without a charge, practically speaking, for more than 4 hours - if you use it at all during that time. Of course, if you just leave it in cool location, turned off, or...
