    Help Video on tv?

    Hi! I am going to record portions of my grandson's school program on my s7edge today. I would like to show the video to my family on my hd television. I have no idea how to do it. Is it possible? Do i need a converter component? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Help Phone is running incredibly slow

    My S7 Edge has never really felt faster than my S4. I just ran a benchmark on it and compared it to the online results, and it performed pitifully. Power Saving was turned OFF, so that wasn't the issue. Could someone with my model run AnTuTu Benchmark and see if it runs similarly?

    What is Device Protection Manager? Draining battery.

    I'm at the end of my rope - Google is no help. I've been having battery issues with my S7 and went in today to clear some stuff out. Deleted a few things and then checked again and this app showed up - Device Protection Manager, which looks totally different from the Android Protection Manager...

    S7 intermittent fault - how can they "repair" it?

    I bought mine in May 2016. It started to crash, seemingly right after the last OTA OS update. I removed various apps one by one and eventually did a factory reset and it was still crashing. It normally reboots but sometimes it just hangs. At one point it hung and the hard reset would not wake it...

    Does your S7 get warm?

    Just curious if this happens to others. Mine sometimes gets warm even when I'm doing basic stuff like web browsing. Yesterday there was a software update and during that process it got very hot. Like almost burning hot. Is this partly because it's made of metal? I know it's hard to describe...

    Google Doesn't Listen Long Enough

    My Galaxy S7 Edge is "OK Google" enabled but Google will not listen to me long enough to enter a complete search. It usually captures one word before displaying random results. For instance, I tell Google "Derek Jeter" and it responds with "Barrett". Very frustrating as it happened suddenly. My...

    Help Adding Custom Ringtone Orig from iTunes

    Trying something for the first time. I've done it with "normal" music files before but not iTunes. The interwebz says it's possible, but I can't seem to find an article that is very helpful. I followed instructions for creating a ringtone in iTunes. It saved the file in iTunes and can be...

    I have come across a pair of bugs with the S Planner and Clock stock Samsung apps on my S7 Edge G935F (unlocked). Any advice will be welcome. S Planner: It simply won't save an event. I've tried restarting the phone and force-stopping the app, but the app won't save a newly entered event in...

    How to get around the SD card path using the volume serial number

    This is all over the internet... With android v6, all file paths use the volume S/N e.g. storage/3367-44fd/DCIM/etcetc where 3367-44fd is the volume S/N of the SD card. If you change the SD card, all the config is lost. If like most people you kept your pics and movies on it, you have to...

    S7: any way to show HH:MM:SS on lock screen clock?

    I have googled all over the place and there isn't anything that works on android v6 that shows seconds. I don't really mind if it is digital or analog but it's nice to see seconds for a quick check the phone has not crashed or frozen! This happens rather often...

    S7 Browser 'Auto-complete' - Disable???

    I'm trying to log into Microsoft and download an ISO of the O/S I have on my laptop. Everything legal, no pirating. MS offers the ISO file of your O/S if you purchased it already installed with no OEM install disk. Everything goes fine until I'm asked to fill in the 25 digit product key. When I...

    Sync'ing music to my SD Card

    I just got an S7 and I'm adding a SanDisk 2ooG micro SD card to put my music collection on - about 140G. I'm looking for an app to sync the iTunes library on my PC with music on my phone (on the SD card). All of my music is MP3's - none of it is DRM'ed. I'm assuming it will be over USB, not...

    Locked Samsung S7 Android monthly security updates

    I was thinking to get an Optus (Australian carrier) Samsung S7 phone on a post-paid plan. I wonder how the Android monthly security updates work: is it like in the US that phone owners have to wait the carrier to push them even when they're ready available for the unlocked version of that phone...

    Hey guys. Yesterday, I rooted my S7 Edge (successfully, using the method on galaxys7root.com), got SuperSU flashed and everything was fine.

    VPN and WiFi Hotspot

    One of my favorite features in the S7 is its ability to share WiFi (i.e. act as a WiFi extender / repeater). Since I travel a lot I like to connect my Chromecast in hotel rooms. However since hotel WiFi's need you to login, I wouldn't be able to connect my Chromecast to the internet. S7 solves...

    I have just upgraded from Galaxy s5 to s7 and I can't figure out how to make my home screens continuously scroll?
