The iPhone 7 and El S7. Contacts, calendar events, SMS messages, photos, music, videos, call history, memos, alarms, wallpapers and etc could be moved from old phone to new Galaxy phone with ease via Samsung Smart Switch. Note: We're not comparing the iPhone 7 to the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 until the have been solo resolved. For faster speeds and more storage. Can only hope so. Turning off notifications doesn't help at all, as it pops up randomly in seconds.
Samsung continues to improve on what they started last year, with the latest Galaxy S flagships, the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge boasting an even more refined design and build quality, the mandatory bump to the latest and greatest processing package, a better camera, better battery life, and the vaunted return of key features, including expandable storage and dust and water resistance. Problem 1 — Pink line appears on the display Some users have noticed that a pink line now appears on the screen and cannot be removed. This will reset the individual pixels of each color. Something to keep in mind is that it might take multiple attempts to fix the problem. Problem 2 — MicroSD card issues To the delight of many fans, Samsung brought back expandable storage with the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge. However, users have come across a few issues related to it. For starters, there is no adoptable expandable storage. Secondly, a couple of persistent popups related to the microSD card appear randomly, multiple times during the day. Finally, the microSD card also seems to make the device take a touch longer to wake. However, a lot of users have found this to be a hardware issue, and the only option then is to pick up a replacement. Samsung has released a software update this month that fixes this problem, so make sure that your device is updated to the latest software version. Problem 3 — Buttons and capacitive keys become unresponsive Some users have found the power button and volume down button to suddenly not be working, and in other cases, the capacitive Recent Apps key and the physical home button seem to become unresponsive as well. The latter is an issue seen mostly with the Galaxy S7 Edge only. Boot the device into Safe Mode you can find the steps on how to do so below and see if the issue persists. Press and hold the power button and volume down button for a few seconds, until the device restarts. In the case of the first issue, even these buttons seem to be unresponsive, this restart method does work anyway. Turn off Car Mode in the settings, and see if it fixes the issue. However, users have found the audio from the speakers to sound distorted. Make sure that you wipe down the device as soon as it is out of the water, and if you are especially worried, the old bag of rice trick works as well. Avoid using a blow dryer though, as the intense heat may affect the components. Problem 5 — Connectivity issues A lot of users face connectivity issues with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when they pick up a new phone, and the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge are no exceptions. That said, these devices did suffer from a serious Wi-Fi connectivity problem, but that has been addressed with a software update. Go into the Advanced settings in the Wi-Fi menu of the phone, and look for Wi-Fi Frequency Band. Change it from the default Automatic selection to 2. Re-enter the details and try again. Problem 6 — Device freezing Some people have found that their device seems to be frozen on the Always On Display screen particularly after it has been left aside for a long time, like overnight. Back up the data on the card if possible and then format it while it is in the device. This seems to have fixed the issue for most users. If the problem re-occurs, you might have to get a new microSD card. Boot the device into Safe Mode you can find the steps on how to do so below and see if the issue persists. Problem 7 — Text in apps and toggles in the Settings menu are misaligned A lot of users have found that text in apps are out of position and that the toggles in the Settings menu are out of place. This displacement seems to be more prominent with Google apps, but can be seen in other third-party applications as well. Go to Display settings in the settings menu and there you will find the option to toggle between the three different resolutions. Change the screen resolution to 1080p and set the text and display zoom setting to normal. Once rebooted, you can go back and change the screen resolution back to Quad HD, but the alignment issues will have gone away. This works when the screen is unresponsive. Tap that button to boot your device in safe mode. So, there you have it for this roundup of some of the common issues that Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge owners face. You can also keep the discussion going in our and forums! The Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge are both fantastic smartphones, and are the best currently available.
