Did anyone restore from Smart Switch? I wondering if I should try that, or should I just restore everything manually?
 
Just got mines. The weight and feel of it is perfect. I'm surprised how bright the screen gets. Gonna fully charge it then set it up.

Can you please check on my biggest concern, I told some friends I'd get back to them as they are interested in purchasing but not if the issue I have is legit.

Try changing screen mode to basic and launching subway surfers game. It immediately goes back to adaptive (saturated funky colors) almost immediately on every demo I've tried. It is the quickest test to see if there is an issue.

Thanks much.
 
Sad to say the annoying headphone volume warning is still there.

Here is a lowlights picture outside of Chipotle

It stays on whatever I put it on. Basic, AMOLED photo, and AMOLED cinema, all stick while playing Subway Surfers.

It was probably the Demo mode that was doing that.
 
Does anyone know how to turn off individual apps' background usage on Touchwiz? Never went through it on this iteration of TW. I try to search in settings, but get an overall "restrict background data" option and it doesn't let me choose individual apps.

I used the USB connect in the box to go from iOS to Android, so I assume I did.

How did that work out? Was the data within the apps restored as well?

Go to applications,
then application manager,
select any app on the list,
tap data usage,
then scroll all the way down.
You'll see the "Restrict background data" toggle for that specific app.

Noticing any heat from the device while you folks are going through setting it up?

Yeah, it gets a bit warm. I was like where was the liquid cooling lol. It's chilled down now. But it's bound to heat up a little, but cooling ought to help protect the internals.

I'm going to truly test for heat issues later on tonight with the Gear VR.

Whoops, sorry, missed your questions. No, the apps didn't restore unfortunately. I had to start Snapchat from fresh and same with What's App too.
 
Didn't do much on cell signal and no power saving modes on.

Anyone else get their attacking number on Sunday, yet it is still sitting in Kentucky for 2 days now?

Just says "Order processed. Waiting for UPS."

Kind of worried that maybe the shipping box fell off the pallet and is sitting in a corner.

Quick question for anyone with a edge - do you get used to the reflection around the edge of the phone - before the side bends? does the image ever not feel straight due to the edge screen?

It's no problem for me whatsoever.

Are you going to sell your other new VR? I hope it won't cause heat issues.

Did music transfer over when you used the usb connect?

I was gonna call UPS in the morning and see what's up. Was hoping to have my S7 by Wed, since I'm on a plane Thursday morning for 2 weeks. Ugh.
