    Can generic or older charging cables be used?

    Just wondering if the S7 doesn't require the cable that came with it for charging. I know it does for fast charging, but for just regular charging, could I use the cable for an S4, or just any generic microUSB cable? Thanks!

    Accessories Screen protector issues again

    I would class myself as very competent at installing screen protectors usually end up with perfect results. The S7 edge is a different matter though. I am now on the 4th spigen crystal curved protector and even purchased a spigen case as I thought it was the fact I was using the official...

    Notification issues

    Initially, I thought I was having a problem with the Twitter app. I try to set the notification sound to silent but it never saves. Then I noticed the same problem with Facebook. I turned off sounds but they still work. Has anyone noticed this with their phone? I think I'm going to do a...

    Text app

    On the stock texting app is there a way to only have the contacts with mobile numbers come up? There used to be a way on my S5 but I can't find it on my S7. Also any recommendations on a good message app from the market?

    New Samsung user: Calendar does not sync without autosync

    Hey everyone, I am a brand new Samsung user (used to be with Sony for the last few years). I installed Today Calendar (only because it has a transparent widget) and set up my calendars with it, and with the S-Planner (but I do not use this one, I just read somewhere that it is better this way)...

    Galaxy s7 suddenly wont connect to cars via auxiliary cable

    I've checked my phones headphone jack, and headphones and the aux cable to some of my wireless speakers work. The aux port in my car works since two friends have tested them with their phones. Both of my auxiliary cables have been tested and both work on several phones. The only issue seems to...

    Why won't night mode turn off with my custom time?

    I'd rather just turn it off, but there's no option to do it. So I thought the next best thing would be to set a custom time late at night when I'm sleeping. But as you can see in the screenshot, night mode is still active. What gives!?

    Question about playing videos in the music app

    So I have a whole library of music and some songs I'd like for it to play the video that's along with it instead of showing album art or whatever. Is that possible? I just dragged some mp4 files into the music folder and they won't show or play in the music app, only in the videos app. Is...

    Why is Chrome always listed at the top of my battery usage?

    Just wondering if this is normal. I figured that Screen would always be at the top. Also, I don't know what Cell Standby is either, but it seems to use a lot as well. Thanks.

    Messages pin to top in message app

    Hello, I recently traded in my Galaxy Note 7 for a Galaxy S7 Edge. My question is in regards to the software functionality difference in the messages app. The Note 7 allowed me to pin messages to the top of the app so that the messages that I want to stay on top are in front of me and on top...

    Signal strength in Europe vs USA

    I was just in France and Switzerland using my S7 from Verizon. I was amazed at how strong the signals were everywhere, even inside large buildings - hotels, on a river boat, on a 7,000 feet mountain and on the train. I do use WiFi calling due to the bad signal here. But, in my house, I only get...

    Can S7 speak caller ID like my Note 2 could?

    Cant seem to find this option anywhere in accessibility. My Note 2 would say ***** is calling say answer or reject... Useful for when the phone is in the case. So many steps backwards I have found so far compared to the note 2.

    Navigation notification...annoying

    My Galaxy S7 displays notifications telling me how many miles to my home and how long it takes to get there even when I am not using navigation. This usually occurs after the phone wakes up from inactivity. How can I turn this off

    Help Firmwares.

    Hi Guys. Still pretty new to Android. I'm in the UK. Using Samsung Galaxy s7 edge. Unbranded. Below is what is showing on my phone in regards to firmware on the phone. Is that the latest available as I'm sure I've read security updates are released approximately monthly.

    How do I change text notification to mute/none for specific contacts?

    How do I change text notification or ring tone to mute/none for specific contacts? I have just moved from Iphone to Samsung Galaxy S7, and this is one feature I haven’t figured out. I see how to mute a ‘conversation’ but not a specific contact. There are a few contacts that I (on my iphone) had...

    Where in the system settings is night mode?

    I'm using Nova Launcher Prime and I just noticed that night mode is on, but it says it's turned on based on my system settings. I can't seem to turn it off from the Nova settings. So where can I find this in my settings? Thanks!

    How can I write on my screen shots?

    I just took a couple of screenshots and then through the notification pull down I chose "Edit" and it let me use a photo editor (which seems to be default on the S7) to write on the first screenshot. But I wanted to write on the second one instead, but I didn't see a way to switch them. So I...
