can i play oculus games with another vr headset on my S7?

Hey guys. Today I was fiddling with my friends s7 edge's Facebook app settings and saw that he has an option to Upload videos on the app with HD resolution, and I only have the option to Upload photos. We are on the same version of the app and both on the s7 edge. I'm running on 7.0 at the...

Hi Guys Im having trouble flashing new Roms to my S7. When I enter TWRP recovery, it shows my device as 0MB and it doesnt picK up any files. I looked into this and read that Encryption should be disabled on the handset. I followed instructions to do this and noticed that there is no option for...

Dear XDA, I am having a difficult time to choose from the two phones because of the following pros and cons. Galaxy S7 Pros: Nice camera Good availability of accessories Reasonable price - 580$ - the least price. Cons: Poor durability with breakable back and front glass Less performance as...

Is there any possibilities that the Beta of the S7 Nougat be ported to our devices?

So you know, I know, and everyone knows the Galaxy S7/Edge allows you to double press the home button to open the camera quickly. If it was your first time doing it, then there's a pop-up that tells you what you did. You go into the Camera settings to make sure that's enabled. Now every other...

Hello, I'd like to have a dualboot option on my galaxy s7, with totally different roms and kernel (one of them is a N7 port). I know this is possible on some devices, but I'd like to know if this is possible on the S7. Currently I'm just backing up my phone and restoring the other rom each time...

I just got a Sprint phone and I am in the process of unlocking it. Once I unlock it, should I flash the Sprint S7 with the T-mobile S7 firmware since T-mobile is my provider? I know I won't get wifi calling and VOLTE, but I figured the preconfigured settings on T-mobile APN etc will make it...

In april i purchased a huawei mate 8 nxt-l29. Definitely a step up from a galaxy s5 like 1000 steps up. One of the best devices ive ever used. Recently earlier today as of writing this, i switched from the huawei mate 8 on metropcs to the samsung galaxy s7 on sprint network. It took me a grand...

1. Hello XDA, how would we go about determining what bootloader version the S7 or S7 Edge has (v2 or v3) 2. Does it require root to do this? 3. Can we determine bootloader versions by looking at the download screen? Thank you :) Edit 1: would the below pic show the bootloader version? would B2...

If you're like me and you don't really like the soft-keys, you should also like this workaround. So I absolutely dislike having to press the physical home button especially since I'm coming from a history of Nexus devices and the fact that it throws off the balance of the device annoys me. (Yes...

I've bought the international version of the S7 (the only one available here in Portugal) which is the SM-930F on the last tuestday (2016-09-16). During the wednesday, I've noticed that the battery drained really fast, but I thought that it was because of the whole first-day configuration /...

Has anyone noticed their battery getting incredibly worse over time? I bought my S7 on release (non edge). And since then, I've noticed that it doesn't last no where near as long. Today, for example I started my day at 7:00am when the battery was 100%. As of 30 minutes ago, the battery reached...

Good afternoon xda-people, I was wondering what kind of libs or drivers are not in the publicly available source code? Because I thought that it would be possible to 'just' pull the libs and stuff from current Kernel or within /system/lib/ Now I am not a pro if talking about reverse engineering...

I have two issues with my device. Firstly I can't seem to find the multiwindow settings. I want to set the setting to "Always display in multiwindow view" but can't find it. Secondly I am unable to sync my Facebook calendar to S Planner. What must i do to fix these issues?

Hi guys I just upgraded from Note 3 to S7. One feature that that i am missing the most is the multiwindow. When i was on facebook app and tapped on a link, multiwindow would automatically open giving me both chrome and facebook etc. I know how to activate multiwindow on S7 manually but isn't...

Does such a thing exist? All I want is essentially the S7 Touchwiz on my S6 but I can't seem to find any rom that offers just that. Don't need any fancy crap, just essentially a stock S7 rom on the S6. If it's not possible then fair enough please let me know as there is so much to wade through...

I am considering buying an S7, and would like to know whether the OTG connector can be used for Ethernet connectivity. I have seen contradictory answers online - hence the question.

I'm trying to unlock the Hotspot on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Cricket. I can't find any guides; there are several for the Sprint variant, but I can't find any for Cricket and the method doesn't seem the same. I bought my phone retail for sticker price - I own it and no goofy contracts. Cricket...

I seen on other forums you can basically create a working PIT (Partition Information Table) From a Working Device, obviously based on the Same Firmware set you are running, now that root is up and running, the idea is which mmcblk to dd to get it done Here is a link for reference I found on...

I have thee co-workers that have the S7 Edge. Of the three, two have gotten broken screens, on the edge, just from carrying them in their pocket. In each case the VZW reps have advised them that they "see it all the time" and that these phones are terrible about this due to the "flexing" in your...

Hey guys, I don't know if it will help much with getting past the lock on the bootloader, but I was able to get the build.prop from the /system on the regular S7. Would changing anything with the build.prop help get the bootloader unlocked?

Hey guys, what are some ways to check if a galaxy s7 is fake? I want to buy one on craigslist but I saw a video where some guy posted about a fake s7 from china and it looks so alike. Literally 1:1, so what are some ways to check if a Galaxy S7 is real? I know a few ways but would definitely...

I have the opportunity to keep any one of these great phones, the Note 5 or the S7. I've been on the Note 5 for months now, and it's been such an amazing phone... it's really hard to change it. But I've had an S7 for the past weeks, and I've been able to switch for a few days, and then go back...

My bluetooth audio output stops after I issue a Google Voice command on my Galaxy S7 in the car. Symptoms: #1 Get in car, bluetooth connects, everything working fine, Podcasts, Phone Calls, Google Maps navigation all performing flawlessly. #2 Open Google Voice and issue a command "Navigate to...

I would like to ask everyone what is their experience in playing music in the background. I am on the fence on buying the phone. I am always on travel(like 1-2 hours per day). Music playing is a big deal to me. I mostly used the offline mode buts that's me. What is the average drain on the...

In all Galaxy family there is this code to see the firmware version of the camera *#34971539# When you enter it, this screen appears: You can see that the "phone to cam" options are darker and you can´t select them. When you click on the first option, the "version check" you can see that...

I'm looking to purchase the international G930F on Amazon. I know those models don't have a U.S. warranty available for them. I've seen mixed messages in various comment sections talking about how Squaretrade will still cover it. Does anybody have any experience with Squaretrade and these...

I'm about done with AMOLED panels and I'm about done with the S7 because of it. Ever since phones went quad HD (Turbo, S6, Nexus 6, Turbo 2, Note 5, 6P, S7, etc), this has been a problem, and unfortunately it still seems to exist on the S7. This is my second one - the first one had it in a...

I'm thinking about it and that's why I'm asking. Hare are the pros and cons as I see them S7 Edge Pros: - Bigger screen - Bigger battery and hence longer SOT - Better screen colors in basic mode, brightness Cons: - TouchWiz, UI not as fluid as Nexus - All glass desgin and the edges are nice but...

In my understanding (correct me if I am wrong) sgs7 us version with SD820 have locked bootloader and anything custom is really hard to do. People need to hack phone to do anything. With International Exynos version on other hand it's not as bad. We had custom recovery on first day and I do see...

I've been using my new S7. It's beautiful and elegant. The design is very polished and it feels great in the hands. Performance is great and battery life is great. And yet I MISS MY OLD NOTE 5 :crying: . So if you're thinking about switching, try and think about what you will really need...

So it happened twice so far. My s7 edge didn't register the new contacts properly the first time. It totally sucks. So guys, immediately send a text when you get someone's number, at least there's a trace. Has it happened to you too? Is there a fix? I save my contacts to my Google account.

Hello xda, I recently upgraded to the S7 (from 1st gen Moto G lol) and loving it. It serves as a work phone, mainly for contacts, spreadsheets and navigation. I therefore have two questions: 1) links to either google drive or google sheets implemented in my contacts are always initially...

Hello, tried to find similar thread but failed to. My S7, int model, after sometime, just stops reproducing any sound... and so, I have to reboot it. Any clues to what is the problem? My model is literally 1 week old. Thanks in advance.

I used the fast wireless charger with the Note 5 and it has been working with the S7 as well. I recently picked up the new Quick Charge 3.0 power brick and external battery pack. You can check them out HERE. The battery pack is housed in aluminum so it feels pretty premium. It isn't in plastic...

Hello, I was an owner of a Xiaomi Mi4c but I switched to a brand new Samsung Galaxy S7 a few weeks ago, the only thing I miss on my Galaxy S7 is a good camera application with a nice shutter sound; I loved the shutter and manual focus sound of my Xiaomi phone. To give you an idea about these...

I just notice a little dot on the glass of the camera. In my understanding it's just a cover and not not camera itself. And because it's just a little bit to the side evey from lens it's not within camera angle but still sucks to see it there. What you think manufacturing imperfection or what ...

Hi guys ! For years I've been using Spigen products and I am loving them. However today I received tempered glass and I am less than satisfied. As we all know REGULAR galaxy S 7 also have curved edges of the glass, not LCD like in our bigger brother "SGS7 EDGE" but little bit curved glass. So...

When I'm in my car and my phone is connected to my car's bluetooth, it occasionally disconnects for no reason. It happens sometimes when I'm not on a call and has also happened twice in the last two days when on a call (not very cool). I've had my car for 5 years and gone through several...

At the moment, I have both devices. Having used the S7 Edge since the release, yesterday I switched to the S7. In shifting back to the S7 Edge just now, I noticed the two device's displays are quite different. The S7 clearly has more saturated colors and looks far brighter. The S7 Edge, in...

I find the video to be a little too compressed (artifacts visible) depending on framerate and resolution. 1080p 60fps just gives me 17mbit/s wich is really low. So what do you think, is it possible to adjust the bitrate somehow? Maybe someone can decompile the app and find the line for that...

I have a rooted S7 Edge with XPosed installed and I changed the DPI to 480. All apps are working perfectly on the phone except for the Samsung Camera app. Is there any way I can force the camera app to the default DPI setting? I would like to keep using this app instead of installing another...

So, I purchased a galaxy S7 (G930F) that turned out to be locked to a google account that the seller claims to have no details of. I have already paid for the phone and would not get the money back. I am now stuck with this phone that keeps on asking for the stupid google account details without...
