how is everyone liking their S7 right now?

- I find that i am able to accidentally trigger the Back or Multi Window beside the Menu button more often than when I was using my OnePlus.
- Not impressed by the speaker performance on this vs OnePlus.
- Might be a setting thing but screen is sensitive and I get "pop up not supported" or cannot multi window? Anybody know how to turn it off?

planning to upgrade snice I have the samsung s5 and the speaker sucks... is it the same? backside speakers.. ugh..!

MarkyMark 03-14-2016 11:41 AM

Speaker is on the bottom like an iPhone, but apparently it's nothing to brag about

Arirang 03-14-2016 03:07 PM

If you think the s5 speaker sucks just wait until you hear the s7.

My S7 still hasn't arrived!!! It says it was delivered, but went to the Fido store and they said its at their head office (Pepper Wireless?!?!) Dafuq is that...I was #7 on the list when I ordered from Fido...

Your mistake was pre-ordering at a dealer.

I see that. I thought I just order off the Fido website and it just gets shipped to that store and I pick it up...I have learned my lesson

So the speaker..... I haven't upgraded my phone since my Nexus 5. How does the speaker compare to that

My Nexus speaker is pretty poor in my opinion so I doubt it can't be worst right?

People say the speaker isn't as loud because of the added waterproofing.

boibuddha 03-15-2016 06:58 PM

That makes a lot of sense. It's hard enough to fit a decent speaker into the bottom of such a thin phone. Now on top of that, they have to make it waterproof.

We threw my GF's IP4 in a lifeproof case and that made it miserable to use. Poor audio quality and mic reception.

I wonder how the call quality and microphone will suffer due to this waterproofing?

Damb... just found out from my corporate dealer that I won't be getting a VR headset even though I pre-ordered since I have a corporate account.

chin3se604 03-17-2016 12:53 PM

How's the VR ? Did the pre-order phones come with VR games?

Szeto 03-17-2016 02:11 PM

no, the VR games offer is only in the states as far as I know because I asked about it in store and online through Samsung site but the reps don't seem to know anything about it. I think instead of the 6 games we got the 128 gb memory card but oddly enough it wasn't mentioned during the pre-order we'd be getting a memory card?

Did you pre-order from the Samsung store? I pre-ordered from Fido and didn't get any SD card

Yes, I pre-ordered from Samsung. It came with a 128gb micro SD card.

Any idea when the silver or gold edge is going to be released?

ruthless 03-20-2016 06:22 PM

Anyone know where/if I can get a warranty for the S7 Edge that covers damage from drops, etc.

I bought it outright from the Samsung Store and I'm pretty sure they don't offer warranties for accidental damage such as a cracked screen etc.

I know there is Samsung Protection Plus available in the U.S. but apparently not in Canada.

I asked Telus (my provider) and the phone must be bought from them in order to purchase their Device Care Plan extended warranty.

Can't. Most is the 90 days insurance for purchases made on your credit card. I think some baller cards have it for 180 days.

I asked the guy on Friday and they said earliest will be the 28th but he seemed skeptical about that release date. I'm hoping it will be sooner, since I got my Spigen case looks odd sitting unused on my desk

The Samsung store employee told me the silver and gold edge will be released on the 22nd of this month. I pre ordered the silver so Tuesday couldn't come fast enough.

Razor Ramon HG 03-20-2016 11:05 PM

Anyone going to buy an Otterbox case for their S7 or S7 Edge?

I got a $60 gift card to Otterbox.com that I won from a recent Samsung event. It's valid 3/20/16 to 6/30/16 and it's usable towards the S7 or S7 Edge.

I'll sell it for $30 as I don't use a S7 nor are Otterboxes my style.
