Question guys is there a way when on nova to click the page you want to view instead of scrolling through each page. I know on touchwiz you can click the page indicator under the apps

Is there an option on Nova to remove app drawer and put all apps on homescreen like on TW launcher?
 
Guys, I got offered an S7 like new for 400€. I might bite.

What app can I use to check it's not a clone phone and it's a true S7? Some kind of app that shows the CPU is Exynos? Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Nice! That's the one I have too and I love mine. So easy and convenient and it is propped up so you can see notifications

yeah big reason i wanted it so can leave on the charger without looking down on my charging pad. No issues with trying to switch the light on to put my phone on the dock like with my iphone. so much better than the charging pad

Is that Nova in your screen shot?

If so I wondered how you got the clock and weather widget on your home screen?

I didn't think these were available unless you used the stock touchwiz launcher.

Curious to hear your impressions. While the Huawei Watch is a beautiful hardware, I'm still not impressed by Android Wear, and it's already prompted my switch back to the Apple Watch/iPhone combo. :(

Surprised to hear that as my Note 5 can usually just about last a day of my heavy use.

The battery life isn't bad on the note, but the battery on the s7 edge is just better, it's very close to the 6s plus. I really think the note 6 will be a beast though with battery if what is rumored is true.

Yeah will do

I'm used to the gear as I had the gear S so it's something I'm used to on past Samsung devices

I'm sure it will do what I need it to
 
There are only two reasons I haven't dropped my iPhone for one of these to use alongside my Note 5. They are my heavy investment in iTunes & the number of friends who use iMessage. As to that last point a number of them are on What's App as well but don't seem to like using it.

The one think I always here from iphone users on why they don't switch. They will miss iMessage and or FaceTime as all of their friends and family use iM and FT.

I just find it interesting that they have both services but always seem to prefer me to use iMessage.

the only times imessage is needed (imo) is when n wifi only. If everyone is on cell data it doesn't matter who is using what. My friends are a mix of android and apple and the only difference text wise is the colour of their bubbles.

So are mine. But the ones on iMessage only seem to want to use iMessage even though they have what's app as well.

This is so true. Whats the big deal about iMessage as text options are unlimited on almost every single carrier now a days and its a blue bubble versus a green one. What am I missing here? I can still send pics and videos easily to my wife who is on iOS and I am on the S7E.

I always thought this would be a factor but it really isn't and hard to understand others that say it is at this point but I am probably missing something.

Group messaging is one for imesage users. On imesage you can text from your other IOS devices the same as your iPhone. But it's not a issue for me as I always have my phone with me. Even when using other IOS devices.
But I am with you.....I can text all my friends and relatives who have the iPhone with no issues at all. I send pics and videos with no problems.
