Samsung rolls out maintenance update for the Galaxy S7 edge in the UK today, which brings “shape correction for skewed photos” and stability improvements including better palm touch rejection.
What network you on?
I am on EE, I have got this update notification, I manually downloaded the update and flashed via flash fire (to avoid wiping the device)
But I still keep getting the update notification.
Making me think the update I Downloaded was not the last version.
G935FXXU1APC8
Do you have a different number to this.

Got mine through Carphone Warehouse, bought outright as i'd previously been with EE and got fed up with their lies about upgrading my phone... so after a week of dealing with them, i went 'sod it' and cancelled my EE contract, went out to Carphone Warehouse and bought the phone there.
Currently on a BT contract, 20gb data, unlimited text, unlimited calls, £20 a month for 24 months... perfect for me
Rooted and using TEKXnesis HYBRID Rom, and absolutely loving it
I already got this update Ratley in the week lady week via manual flashfire[emoji14]

So I updated the ROM to the latest version.
Still have the identify unsaved numbers!!!! Yay!!
I was able to test the touch responsive on the new update.
The way I tested, was hold the phone in your left hand normally.
And try and tap a icon in the top right corner.
The palm of my hand would touch the bottom left icon activating it.
Since the update, this touch appears to be ignored now. So a good update with a little less irritation.

Yes I do. I downloaded it from SamMobile. The Samsung Pay app starts up with a little video introduction but it doesn't let you register any cards so it's not active server side yet. It's clear that it will be any day now though.

oh alright.
I got Samsung Pay semi-working on my G930F without flashing any rom. I couldn't access with fingerprint but with a PIN. Same as you, I can't add any cards, it says "failed to connect to server" right after I press the "next" button (the arrow). So I guess it's not even sending a ping to the server.
As a side note: the app in google play still appears not compatible and it doens't detect I have it installed. It's like if I have a whole different version.
UPDATE:
I "tapped" into SP's communication when sending the info of the card that I want to add and this is what it shows in both Samsung Pay and it's framework

It's a Samsung issue. I have the same problem on my S7E but Paypal works well with the fingerprint feature on my LG G5.
This is sillly. Samsung should release several firmwares for G930F and other variants according to carriers. For example a firmware with wifi calling and volte for tmobile US and Samsung Pay.
I think no matter if we have the app running or not. Their servers must be checking a combination of PDA and CSC and maybe more stuff and once the server realizes our phone doesn't match the criteria, it prevents the card registration. I don't know....
Android has always been about mods. We need leas root if they provide a wide enough customization and freedom for their (samsung) devices

I'm looking for the cheapest S7 black but they appear to be holding their value.
Any suggestions?

So did I.
About Samsung Pay, I can't believe it's STILL not out over here. I bought the S6 when it came out last year all excited about being able to use Samsung Pay. One year later(and one phone model later!) still nothing!
Any of you guys got WiFi calling up and running?

Following the recent update I've got WiFi calling working on both my S7 Edge and S7. Both bought from Vodafone.

Hi how do I check if knox is tripped
Hi.
How have you got this to work? I am in Vodafone and received the software update 2 days ago yet I still do not have the WiFi calling option. I am looking in settings, under applications and then phone. Should appear underneath 'Vibrate'.
Mine updated to PD1. Is there anything you did to enable it?
Thanks
I spoke to a technician in Sprint and he told me the S7 only has one antenna the note 3 has two.
That is the reason why I cannot talk and internet at the same time.
Anyone has any experience on this or can verify this?
Thanks

Guys anyone can shed some light on thus issue? I spoke to a samsung tech guy and told me the reason why the kote 3 can be on data and voice at the snaw time its because the way it connects using g2 and g3. The s7 its using lte and the carrier is jot ready yet to provide that kind of service. Any one can help on this issue?
Also is there a way to force the s7 to use g2 and g3 only?
Thanks

I1 founs this article:
Unfortunately you cannot do this anymore on Sprint. I will list below as to why.
The older phones had two CDMA radios put in them (such as the S3 on Sprint). One dedicated to voice -- another dedicated to data. Therefore you could do voice and data. GSM has always been one radio .. because that one radio can do both tasks at the same time. They got around it on CDMA by simply adding another radio in there and dedicating each one to one task.
Now a days they're getting rid of that second CDMA radio. So therefore you can only use talk, or data -- not both at the same time. Now if you're using VoLTE it will allow voice and data since the call will be going through LTE (as data) and .. data will be data. So it is technically then all data. Verizon can get by since they have VoLTE ... Sprint doesn't yet so .. No other work-around except to just use WiFi while on the call.

Does T-Mobile have anything like AT&T numbersync? Managing a second phone number seems it can be confusing for the people I call from the watch. I understand AT&T numbersync makes it look like one phone number across all devices.

Not at the moment but T-Mobile claims to be working on adding number sync to plans sometime next year
I now see tmobile said that in Oct 2015...

Verizon has something similar with their tablets. I have an iPad that I can text and call from using their messages + app and it shows as my phone. This works while on WiFi also!!

I don't know for sure as I currently have a tmobs S3 because VZW doesnt sell it yet.
All anyone having any issues or better still can confirm they still have Spotify working on their S3, it was fine with my S3 and S7 Edge, but noticed the other day when i click the app or widget the screen goes blank an if i use the widget says phone BT disconnected (its connected as my S3 is).
I have an S8+ and have the exact same problem.
Used to work fine with my S6 Edge

I think it's because of the latest update of the gear app.
It used to work on my galaxy s6 edge+ but after the last update it keeps saying that Bluetooth isn't connected
I uninstalled just the gear app and then reinstalled fresh problem solved.
Finding this on a steady stream of apps assume the update over rights and leave junk behind causing issues ...

I recently bought unlocked S8+ SM-G955U.
Unfortunately it's network options are very limited, in comparison to AT&T S8+. Can't seem to find tethering options or HD voice (enhanced) and I need tethering for work.
Contacted Samsung guy at bestbuy he says he can't help.
Any advise?
I have the unlocked SM-G955U1 and it has tethering in the Notification Center.
Not sure what could be the deal with yours.
Try settings then connection, In connection you will find Mobile hotspot and tethering. exynos version. FD955

Mobile hotspot and tethering is in connection tab on Universal o Unlocked s8. I have Unlocked s8 plus and it's there.
