Eh honestly I think the way Samsung was trying to implement it was less confusing than standard Marshmallow. But nice that they left the code in there.
Got a tip for us?

I would not be women wear far more rings and handbag contents lets not even go there
My wife's iPhone (and no, not making this an iPhone vs. Galaxy thing, just an example of typical smartphone use by a woman) goes in and out of her bag probably a dozen times a day, maybe more, she's owned it since launch, and it has no scratches on the display. And the other guest on All About Android was a guy and IIRC, he said he noticed scratches on his S7 as well.
I'm not claiming it's a prolific design flaw, just surprised is all as the video that was posted earlier in the thread by the guy testing the durability of the S7 showed it being pretty resilient to scratches. I guess time will tell if it becomes a more widespread issue.
Not yet. On vacation for another week, so no access to my computer. But I will be doing this once I get my hands on a 128gb uhs-ii/U3 SD card with a minimum read/write speeds at 150mb/s. New Sandisk cards are hitting the streets next month with nearly double that speed, so may wait.
Had to verify that the S7 had uhs-ii capability first though and it was confirmed on Reddit via Samsung.
Only way I will do this is if the SD card can come close to matching the internal drive speeds. Otherwise, it is pointless IMO.
I just read about this. Very nice.
However, now that I'm using jump on demand I actually will keep mine not adoptable. But this is great.
Agree 100%. Wish this would have been put in Settings->Storage as an option.
My S7 arrived today and im impressed! Im coming from a Note 4 btw. The camera is insanely good, the autofocus is near instant. The loudspeaker is loud and bassy, the Display is gorgeous, Touchwiz much leaner then on my Note 4, Build quality is superb, the Fingerprint scanner is as good as the iPhone 6s. I cant really find a negative on it yet.
I hate to say it but def not blown away by the battery life. Today was really hectic and aside from a bunch of calls, and Google searches over lunch I hardly used the phone. Sitting here at 50%. Meanwhile my 6splus that I took the sim out of yesterday and left on my desk at 50% charge, now has 40%.
You do realize that a phone with no sim means the modem and radio aren't actively searching for a signal and therefore not eating up battery life. Not to mention the screen was off.
Try doing the same thing with the S7 that you did with the 6S. $20 says you'll find the iPhone depleted and the S7 only used a few percent of the battery.
Not rocket science here.
The S7 takes better low light pictures of course. But they both take great pictures the best in any smartphone I have used. I don't see a difference other than in low light.
Ran a speed test from two separate apps on the internal and SD Storage. I'm using this card ....
The RED SD card icon is the actual micro SD.
The Storage speed below is shown on the bottom in the Recent Test bubble.
Ueah
Yeah, the actual read/write is always going to be lower than the potential read/write figures on a phone. (The rated speeds are Sequential, not random. Makes the card appear faster than it is in actual real life use.) That is why I am looking to possible wait for the Sandisk UHS-II/U3 SD cards that are coming out next month. The S7 can supposedly handle UHS-II cards at the rated speeds. I hope this to be true if I'm going to spend over $200 on a 128gb card.Ran a speed test from two separate apps on the internal and SD Storage. I'm using this card ....

And the write speeds would actually be over a hundred? If so, that's damn good.
"Supposedly". Cards aren't out yet to verify the claims. For the price, it better be able to do random write speeds over 70mb/s! Sequential write speeds better be around 250mb/s.
We'll see soon. If true, these cards will match the internal storage speeds. Only way I would use the adaptable storage option.
Still I am a bit worried about the standby time. In my short time with the phone it is measurability shorter then I'm used to. Hopefully it was just a lark.
The stanby times will not be the same as your iPhone. I have a 6s+ and no other phone can touch it's standy time. But the S7 shines in so many other areas too. It just comes down to your preferences and what is most important to you. My S7 has consistently been getting 6-7 hours SOT.
Does somebody know how to watch motion photos (taken on the S7 edge) on pc or mac?
It seems that the motion photo .jpeg files (8-11mb) are about double the size of normal photos (3-5mb). But I have not jet found a way to "watch" the motion photo jpegs.
It would be a slight bummer if it is not possible.

Anyone finding volume via headhones to be low on the edge? Same headphones as the iPhone, where 60% is a perfect level on my iphone, the edge is requiring 80-90%. Making subway and gym time tough. Same via Bluetooth.
i listen to music on my S7 through wired headphones. I haven't noticed a difference tbh.

The new galaxy devices are indeed outselling last years model. Korea may have seen less, but "experts" believe the country as a whole are souring on the preorder idea.
Selling great everywhere else.

Hm. Do you have adapt sound enabled? I tried thinking it would make a difference but it hasn't seemed to
My phone was at 52% when I went to sleep and I just woke up and it's still at 52%.
What are you listening to?
For some reason Tidal sucks, I have to crank it much more than Spotify for the same exact music.

You have always on turned off?
