it is pretty easy to find the informations now

if the fingerprint scanner goes in the back, it kills it for me. Whatever happened to integrating it in the screen?

Going to skip for s9. Tiny batteries for those screen size is a buzz killer.

Absolute agree to this. What about having the phone on the table and typing, browsing.
I hope it is just an experiment and it's gonna be revised on the 9 series.

Hi guys, just thought I'd let you all know about a free cool new app I've released on Play Store
DockClock allows you to turn your S5 (or S4) into a cool clock while it's docked or simply charging, and is specifically made for AMOLED screens which only light up the pixels they're using which creates an awesome effect, especially at night.
It also moves the clock randomly every 15 seconds to counter the renowned burn-in effect suffered by AMOLED screens.
Download it now from Play Store!

Wow. Much needed app for me.

Glad you like it.
Great app. Just what need. Only problem is sometimes on my S5 clock is outside of screen. I can see hours but not the minutes...

Thanks for the feedback, I only have sub-1080 screen phones so was kind of hard guessing the X and Y for the locations of the clock. Easy to change, looks like it needs reducing a little on the X. Shall change this now, expect update in next couple hours.

Right that last update should have sorted it.
Lots of trial and error using an AVD in 1080p which nearly made the computer go into meltdown and was terminally slow, got there in the end
Enjoy.

Attentive Display

Found this gem of a feature hidden in the display options. Has this been brought up? It's pretty great!

Many phones offer a similar feature, I know Samsung does and I think LG might as well.

Coming from an S5 myself, I can say this implementation from Motorola is much improved or better. I actually had it disabled on the S5 (along with everything else) as it did not work very well.
On Turbo it is picking up detection even in a very dark room and it actually re-initializes the screen if it goes dim. I'm keeping my sleep at 15-30 seconds with this feature.
My Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 has this feature. Doesn't work very well at night time where the Turbo seemed to pick up my face no problem in just about pitch black conditions. Very happy with it and leave them both on as well!
@geoff5093, just realized you are like 20 minutes from me, I am from Londonderry, actually go through Goffstown just about every other weekend to play paintball in Weare... small world!

Haha, it really is!

Those who have S7s already, any hardware quirks/flaws to look out for?

My S7 Edge is coming tomorrow and I'm always paranoid about things like stuck pixels, dead pixels etc. Have any of you noticed anything that would make you want to exchange for another device?
Yeah. My S7 has way too many pixels. [emoji23]

got my s7 last wednesday and i absolutely love it!
no dead pixels, vibrator is strong, buttons work well and are responsive, speaker sounds fine, and the glass front/back are perfectly clear, not a scratch on it. And the Titanium Silver color is beautiful! I really don't want to put a case on it!!
Samsung has never let me down in terms of hardware flaws out-of-the-box.

No issues yet. Only quirk is installing apps. I Cannot find the option to disable "allow Google to regularly scan".

I dont know, maybe the glue or any protection more than normal, see this vídeo bellow, 3:38 second and you will see, all s7 edge have a green tone when have in a white image, for me it's annoying and is why I won't buy that model, I love the edge but this feature/annoying thing for me it's impossible, I constantly see and see the problem.

thanks for bringing more Note 7 features over to the Galaxy S7 Samsung!
Is the Always on Display still moving on the new version? Turned it on for a little while but doesn't seem to for me.

Don't worry it's still moving but pixel by pixel it is not noticeable for us.

Not pixel by pixel, but sometimes it is on top of the display, sometimes on the bottom, sometimes in the middle. Position changes every day I think.

Yes, that's new too, it shows what song is playing on whichever player U have. But notifications from apps like facebook, whatsapp etc. are still not available. I hope they will bring that feature with 7.0
Sadly, the update doesn’t enable third-party app notifications

why you dont like the s8+ ??
Slow charging , looks like qc2
Very narrow width
Feels like the inside of an obelisk
I'm not impressed with the curved edges
I'd prefer something like the mi mix
It's not bad.
It's just not outstanding.
Plus severely hyped.
