    Loving my S7 Edge so far, coming from the S4 and the improvement in performance is clear to see, only just scratched the surface so far of what this smartphone is capable of.

    Normal vs Fast charge - I checked from 15% connecting to my MiniPC, and it was going to take over 6 hours

    We recently pushed an Oculus Software update that has inadvertently caused some people to experience phone performance issues.

    The team has issued a fix, so please open the Oculus app on your phone and follow the prompts to update your Oculus software. If you do not see a prompt, then your phone has already been updated and no further action is needed.
    We apologize for the inconvenience - please reach out to Oculus Support if you have any questions or concerns.

    What's causing this ring effect?

    Purposely turned levels up to enhance it, but it's visible on unedited RAW photos, looks like coffee cup rings

    According to phonearena Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge receive update that adds features to ‘Always On Display’.

    The update in weight is 8MB, enhances the the Always On Display of both models. Update includes the replacement of previous calendar with the newly designed ones and always on will show the music is being played on your phone’s music apps.

    The clocks on the Always On Display is more customizable.

    The Always On Display appears on both, the S-View cover or a Keyboard cover so now you can add your signature to the screen in any color or font you want.

    This update also decreases the battery consumption 1% of whole battery life each hour.

    Not sure what the N7 AOD was like, but it's still pretty lame, can add a photo now, time/calendar, don't think notifications even work with it yet

    Not on the S7 Edge it isn't, the battery is one of the best things about it.

    Unless you mean Samsung phones in general, then nah not the best time.

    I get about 6 hours SoT with my S7 flat

    Running the Nougat beta atm and getting about 5 hours SoT

    Idle is good though, could quite easily hit 5 days idle IMO if I'm not using the phone

    Looks identical to Nougat, was hoping for at least some UI improvements

    Hopefully there is a lot of improvement under the hood, and hopefully they don't mess up the camera quality with this upgrade, took a while for Nougat to match MM iirc

    there are some minimal changes. like recent apps can be stacked just by title. (like a list).
    edge lighting has more options , like rainbow glow
    s8 camera (without bixby).
    bixby home. (no voice).
    no infinity screern.
    same wallpaper as nougat, but that could change, otherwise its pretty lame.

    this is like a alpha version , i do expect more changes, but more in the sense of stability. I wasnt able to test if phone had places since changing CSC FC'd the phone app.

    im already back to note 8 rom
