Hi everybody.
This is my second S7 (I also own a S6 and a S5) and I'm having touch screen issues.
It seems less responsive at the edges sometimes, especially bottom and sides.
I have evidence of this while writing through qwerty, as it's sometimes missing "p", "a", space or caps lock.
This is also happening while trying to delete emails with stock client, as I have to tap several times the trash icon.
Now I own a white S7, previous one was black. Same issue.
Never happening with my S6 and S5.
This is very frustrating.
Anyone else?
mine sometimes does this at the bottom right, but then I can't replicate it. I'm pretty sure it's a software issue bc the entire phone seems much less sensitive to certain touches than my note 4 did.

There are lots of apps in the Play Store for testing the touch screen.
Can be also tested Via *#0*# and this confirms my complain

Same issue here. See my thread buried by time: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/dead-sensitive-horizontal-stripe-screen-t3335987
The sometimes not responding left and right sides are bugging me as well.
Funny (or not so funny) thing is, that i went to some local shops with display units. literally ALL OF THEM had the very same issue, although its difficult to reproduce without a screen protector.
I am forced to use a keyboard with customizable bottom padding in order to properly type (Perfect Keyboard). Did get a replacement for my first and even my second S7, same issue pertains with the third. Is this some kind of mass production issue? if it was software, it should apply to a much larger userbase, right? Or are most people mashing their screens with such force so they dont experience the issue?

That's something I really want to understand. Just to decide whether ask for a replacement or a refund.
But this, I repeat, is really really frustrating. Then I read that this is the best smartphone ever... ?

Being a guy who has dealt with these type of problems quite a lot. Sorry to say. If your device is still under 7 days of purchase you will get a replacement. If all device of that particular production unit has the same issue, asking for refund will be kind of tough depending upon your dealer. But most dealers around the world deal with these type of problems with a free repair by replacing just the front unit of the device.
If you get a refund by any chance and you still wanna stick with Galaxy S7 as your next device. Try a online dealer. Considering the situation here, my local online dealer is selling the Global version(without warranty) whereas Samsung officially sells the Duos version.
BTW where is your unit made?
Both units from Vietnam. CSC ITV no brand Italy.
I purchased them online so I can opt out within 14 days by law.

Have the same problem. I just got my unit and I noticed the problem in less than an hour.
Then we can officially talk about a touchgate

It is the first day using the S7 officially. The problem happens a few times today and it is something that does not bother me. It's difficult to happen, but I know it is there (and it is a very expensive gadget).
I don't know if it can be fix with an update. But trying a multitouch test app, if you touch the middle of the screen and then go to this blind spots without taking your finger out off the screen, everything works. No faults.
I'm going to keep it for a while to see what happens.
This was my situation https://youtu.be/MLUi6hFl7c0

Okay that's just weird. I can't get it to do that on mine so maybe it's not totally widespread, I don't know. Interesting. I hope it's software and not hardware.

I think that's a hardware issue because if it was meant to be software it was affecting all devices. I assume there are two or more touch producers or plants, and some of them were faulty.

Hi Guys,
I'm in the same position. Bought my s7 from an online company called becextech. they seemed reputable. reviews were good.
got the phone, and instantly notices how buggy it was for texting/typing. missed presses, space bar not registering, backspace wouldnt always work.
Thought perhaps it was just me. Nope. went back to the s6 and it was perfect.
So i sent the phone back after just 2 days. Spoke to the company via email. Even attached the video that was linked above to show them what was happening.
They replied last week and told me that they couldnt find any problem with it. Which i can't believe. I just KNOW my fingers weren't missing the keys.
It kills me to think that they are going to do everything they can to deny the problem. And I'm going to be stuck with a phone that I dont want to use, and won't be able to get rid of.
Wish I'd never bought the phone

Nvidia, from this point of view is bad. It has no service centers and no spare parts. You have to find a bad tablet to disassemble the spare part you need.

For the sake of completeness I tell you that I replaced the broken screen of a new LTE version with that of a WiFi with kill switch (bought on eBay). The screen works perfectly, but the stylus pen does not work anymore. I had to choose the minor evil.

Hello everyone. Greetings from Brazil!
I am going through a very embarrassing situation with my Gear S3 Classic: Every time I walk into (or worse: out of) a store that has one of those anti-theft tag security systems, the systems beeps, like if my watch was a stolen thing. I believe it may be related to the NFC or MST interfering with the detection system, but I also have a Galaxy S7 with both radios enabled and never ran into any problems.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Does anybody have a clue on what may be happening and how to stop it?
I have already tried to disable NFC in settings but it won't stop it from beeping. This thing is really annoying...
Thank you all in advance.

Stupid Question...
If you shutdown the Watch...
OFF
Then same problem?
Only to be sure no RFID Label or something else is inside...
Best Regards
That happened to me the other day in the mall and in some stand alone stores. I wasn't sure if it was the watch or the Note 8. I joked about stealing stuff on the way in the store.

Hello, I recently lost the charger for my honor 8 europe frd-l09 and I wanted to buy the exact same model, the one that comes with the official box, in order to keep warranty active.
What's the code? Was that a quick or fast charger and what's the difference between quick and fast?
If I don't find the same charger and buy another compatible one, will I lose my phone warranty? (Europe)
Thanks.
Sorry, I didn't get you. Can you please say you lost your charger or the phone?

I see now. That was something that you forgot to write up there ?
I don't think there is any difference between quick and fast charging.
Our honor 8 got quick charging also the official charger we get is called quick charger which got output of 2A, so you should get a charger which output of 2A with quick charging. It will be great if you get one from official huawei charger. Huawei got 2 official chargers, they both got the same look, thats why you should be sure to check if it has written "Quick Charge" on it's body. You can get it from Amazon, AliExpress or even your local accessories store.
In case if you don't fine the official one then you can get a third party charger with output of 2A with quick charge(as I already said). You will never loose your warranty if you use it. BUT if you use any third party charger with higher output and anything goes wrong with your phone then Huawei will not be responsible for it.......

But what if my screen breaks, I send the phone back to amazon/honor/huawei and they see I don't have the oem charger anymore? Do I lose the phone warranty for a lost accessory?
And also, do you know the exact number code of the official charger for honor 8 europe? I think it's the same as the huawei p9 one but I'm not totally sure.

If you break the screen that means you are definitely loosing your warranty, hey won't fix your phone unless you pay them. And if anything goes wrong wrong probably Huawei will not know that you don't have your charger so you don't need to worry about that.
Talking about the model number I really have no idea about Europe but I believe my friend @Rommco05 can help you with it.

Phone warranty is not linked with accessories. If phone breaks, just sent phone.
Quick Charge 3.0 although not compatible offers pretty much the same charge speed to Honor 8, as the OEM charger.

This is the one: HW-059200ehq

You can get it for cheap on aliexpress like this one or from any other seller, just search Original "Huawei fast charger"
I've got a spare one from there for my H8, i'm happy with it, look very much like a genuine and work well with fast charge as expected.
If it's just for the warranty matters, you don't have to return the charger to the service center if you phone got a problem.
Would it be possible to add a Bluetooth USB dongle to these headunits to enhance bluetooth quality and functionality? I know on my android box I was able to add a bluetooth dongle to enable bluetooth keyboards and wondering if it would be possible to do this with headunit since the bluetooth chips do not seem to be very good and have bad bluetooth streaming quality?
Try it and let us know!
I have just tried it and can't seem to get it recognized by the unit.
In the Factory Settings, i changed Bluetooth to NO because if not it will just pick up the internal Bluetooth chip. Once i do this i have no options for Bluetooth in the settings. I'm not sure if there is a way around this.
Do you solve?

I can confirm that the Comfast wu725b -dongle works as replacement BT. My HU has the SD-968 module that does work like once in every 5th cold-boot. Bought the Comfast one and changed BT to MD725 and now all works great!
What about the Wi-Fi, does that work?

Installing comfast dongle can you pair with other devices (not only phones, OBD)?
It's working no matter what BT setting I choose (as far as I can remember), so I'd guess it's still using the internal one.

Goodmorning. I'm facing a problem with the battery draining. Gsam says "combined app cpu" is using the phone too much. The phone never go to deep sleep state, so the battery go down no matter if the screen is on or off. There's a way to fix it? Or is it a miui issue?

For now my fix seems to be disable miui optimizations...
Now it last a day 12-14h with 5h screen on on 3g data.
Got similar issue. Some time it goes into deep sleep, some time not. Decided to root the phone to try fixing it.
