You didn't want to wait for the new iPhones later this year which supposedly will be more like the Samsung phones?

I'll have another upgrade by the time they come out, so it will work out well. Corporate plan, ftw!

is there anyway to add data as a shortcut to the top menu?

Agree with all of you for the battery decline. Now when my battery hits the 15% mark it'll shut off if I don't charge it right away.

I thought i was the only one with lags and battery problems

Is the new update any good, i dont really feel like updating to the new software

start at 3:11.

thats a good tid bit of info that i didn't know about.

My s7 keeps getting stuck at the home screen and tells me to wait for 60mins to restart, then after 60mins it starts again on another 60mins

I can't turn it off or boot it to safe mode/recovery mode but download mode works thought

Any idea what I should do/ can do before I get a new phone that's not Samsung (I do want to fix this before I get a new phone)

Try downloading smart switch, hooking up your s7 phone and performing a emergency recovery restore or initlization by entering IMEI and serial number. after that if it still doesnt work, try booting into recovery mode and factory restoring and clearing cache.
