Do you have any idea how many times people have posted "I found root for this device!", then posted absolutely no actual proof, parroted some obscure and unrepeatable steps, and claimed, ironically, to be on vacation or away for some other reason and therefore unable to post more detail? It...

Sure. Okay.

KNOX will still be tripped. There's no known way to "untrip" knox. It's like a fuse. Even if it doesn't show as modified inside of android's settings, it will still show in ODIN mode.

As with anything, it's often how you use it. If you don't fill your internal storage, then it's not "broken and completely useless." In fact, unless you load a ton of apps that prevent loading to the sdcard, it actually becomes difficult to fill internal storage once you move your data to...

Based on the filename, it's an engineering kernel for both the S7 and S7 Edge (which implies it came from samsung.) These kinds of files have traditionally been allowed to bypass the normal rules.. (similar to posting the original boot image on a device without source.)

With no references? No author? No information whatsoever? Not even the rar password? It might be extremely dangerous. Downloading random things and shoving them into the boot partition of your phone is... beyond stupid. (I'm actually surprised that a moderator didn't immediately delete...

Please do NOT close this thread. Instead, just moderate the thread (and the people trolling it.) While I personally don't think this thread will go anywhere, the seemingly random directions that it's going MIGHT go someplace and MIGHT actually find something. Please remember that this is XDA...

In what way is it "much better"?

No, sorry, I can't. I don't have a 6P. (In fact, I don't have the older nexus 6 anymore either.) Take care Gary

The SM-G930 never released with lollipop... It started on Marshmallow.

No links to reddit threads in question? While I don't instantly disbelieve you, you're a brand new user that's never even posted before who is making an accusation... (Of course, it does seem odd that the original app was pulled from the play store with no explanation.)

No need to post the same question in multiple threads. There's so little activity in the AT&T S7 section, that most of us read all the threads. You've been answered in the Q&A thread...

Display Scaling does NOT appear in the display settings after the update. It is still accessible via alternate means (such as accessing via nova launcher, etc.)

Samsung Pay works fine with the display scaling set to condensed (and did even before the April update.) Sent from one of my mobile devices.

No change log, but the April update is available on the normal s7... Sent from one of my mobile devices.

Okay.. I wonder if he's related to one of the "samsung reps" that work in Best Buy stores.... or the ones that come visit AT&T stores on occasion. For the most part, they are really good in reciting the marketing material, but when it comes to details, they are clueless. In fact, at least as...

While I tend to agree with the majority of your post, I think this one statement I quoted might be a bit too absolute. My understanding of SPay is that it relies on the KNOX fuse to determine if a phone is modified. If true, then if an exploit is discovered and implemented which grants root...

I'd strongly suggest to change the "get data" text to be more specific. Perhaps something like: "After [Device Administration] is enabled, this application will need to connect to a Licensing Server to verify licensing data. Therefore, please ensure Internet Connectivity is enabled." (BTW...

okay.. promo code took a few minutes before it started working. VERY first impressions: These days, Android users are paranoid... The "first time setup" screen explains why it needs Admin/KLMS rights, but then claims it needs to connect to a server to "get data." Being it asks for device...

Sure.. why not? I'll give it a try.

You are misinformed.

Rooted or not, you wouldn't get that space back. The pre-installed crud is installed on the system partition which is a separate space from where user apps (and all data) are stored. If you rooted and deleted those apps, the space would just go unused. (And really, those apps don't take up...

If it makes you feel any better about taking the gift card, I also have a 4/18 date, and no shipping notification from either samsung or FedEx. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using XDA-Developers mobile app

If your phone is on a charger, it won't go into doze. I thought I read somewhere in this thread that the problem was being experienced even when the phone was left plugged in.

If the OP is advertising his own product, he's breaking the XDA rules... 11. Don’t post with the intention of selling something. Don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. Proprietors of for-pay products or services, may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or a free version...

What games are you all getting in the 6 free game promo?

Find a best buy with a gear vr on display... pop your phone into it and it should start the process of installing and setting up an account. If the BB employees give you a hard time, act like a clueless paranoid that wants to make sure that the phone you bought from AT&T will work with a gear...

I'm curious... with your estimated shipping date of April 30th, what does it say is the deadline for claiming the 6 game bundle? For example, on mine (with an estimated shipping of the 18th), it has #4 being: (I'm just wondering if they realize that the date of 4/20 would be impossible and...

Same.. However, when I check my claim status on the "https://promos.samsungpromotions.com/info/checkstatus" site, it still says "Fulfillment pending." Well, I guess that does make sense. Obviously, it hasn't been fulfilled yet...

I just noticed that the "terms and conditions" for the Gear VR have been updated on the samsungpromotions.com website... ... (and so on... ) Source: https://promos.samsungpromotions.com/GearVR/en-us/Rules

With the mix of music I listen to, those automated playlists never work out. As well, they don't allow a "I like song A, but I like song B even more." Why am I even arguing this? If a person can't see the limitations, then they probably don't apply to that person. They DO apply to me...

Not with a playlist, it won't.

How about 3800? There are only about 1200 unique tracks in the list, but some are in the list multiple times. What I do is to take songs I like more and put them in the list multiple times. Of course, I only play that playlist shuffled... The end result is that my favorite songs play more...

The problem with Google play music is the silly 1000 song limit in playlists.

I just played around with the settings... It only impacts a boot or reboot (which is powering the device off and back on again, or selecting "restart" from the shutdown menu) (which is NOT standby/resume or screen off/on) Assuming you have a fingerprint and password set up (if you have a...

Had the same issue. Here's the fix: Go to the application manager, find exchange services, select the option for Permissions, and give it perms for your contacts and calendar.

"this update" ... Not at all. You're OP references a specific update, but doesn't give any information as to what device, what version, or anything else. It doesn't say "Anyone else get any update on any device?" I'm not harassing you here... The generic S7 subforums are a mess right now...

"both"? You're in the generic non-carrier "Galaxy S7" section of the forum. Your audience includes people using several other models of the same phone. As far as I can tell, ONLY the "T" S7 got an update today. "A", "V", "P", "F", "W8" (and God only knows what other variants exist) didn't...

looks like a minor bug fix or carrier update. TMO is pretty good about releasing those in a timely manner. (Other US carriers are less so.)

My Best Guess on this option is that it controls when data is able to be read. "Do not require" allows the phone to read the data before the screen is unlocked, while the other option requires the screen to be unlocked first. Why would it need to read the data before unlocking? Well, it my...

It should come encrypted by default out of the box. In fact, I haven't seen any option to DECRYPT it. So, any benchmarks you see are for an encrypted device.

Without knowing which specific S7 you have, this message is pretty useless.

Do another test (without the reset) with both wifi on (test a) and with wifi off (test b) to confirm the difference. If confirmed, go into wifi advanced options and turn off anything that might allow automatic connecting to ANYTHING. Also "forget" any stored AP's. Retest again where wifi is...

I got frustrated with the wait - and put my n920i up for sale.

Try this (if you haven't already): More connection settings -> scan for nearby devices -> OFF. Also, look for a setting (that I can't find on my AT&T variant) for telling the phone to never search for an initiate a BT connection (instead forcing the connection to be initiated by the other side...

Keep in mind that I'm only trying to help you troubleshoot this issue, as it isn't "normal" (in my experience...) Do you have any devices paired? If so, try to unpair them all (actually delete the pairing from the phone) and test with BT on. If there's nothing BT paired to the phone and BT...

I'm actually very unhappy about that announcement. It means that my kids are going to be stealing my phone often. :( Well, maybe I can get them to steal my wife's phone instead. (We did the AT&T buy one, get one.)

I've always left bluetooth enabled on all my phones and have never (yet) seen this type of issue. This includes the galaxy S7 (snapdragon) and Note 5. My bluetooth environment is: phone is paired with exactly one device (car head unit) and nothing else. For the most part, there are no other...

I have a pretty much stock S7, and my alarm didn't go off this morning. This was configured using samsung's own preloaded version of the 'clock' app, and the phone was on a charger (which should prevent doze.) Thankfully, I have kids. They are noisier than any smartphone alarm clock could ever be.

Isn't Oculus owned by Facebook now? That makes it creepy. VERY creepy.
