I'm on the line with Samsung right now and they're walking me through a backup and reset.
But if this doesn't fix it then a new Sim card is in my future.

^i have that issue too, my s7edge is at samsung repair depot for 2 weeks now, this is the 3rd time i have sent it in. First time with rogers and seemed fine for a while then started happening again. Went to samsung the second time since i was told they would be faster, they replaced the antenna and did some ajdustments and it started happening every day. Got pissed off and sent it back in again. Now awaiting either a final fix from them or a replacement device. The fact that all calls and texts both outgoing and incomming do not work until you reset the phone is a big pain in the ass.

I have tried unmounting the SD card, deleting apps that I recently updated/installed, updated the OS, deleted Oculus (I read online that is a problem for a lot of people) and disabled a bunch a different apps.
However I still have the same issue. I am thinking that it is a hardware issue and I will have to take it in to be looked at

Just an update. Got my s7edge back from the repair depot and 2 days later it started happening again. Lost network connection, this time it kept happening all morning no matter if i restarted or turned off my phone. Took it straight back to samsung while it was having the issue and now they took the phone back and are processing a replacement for me. Currently on a loaner phone by them again. Such bullshit.

Are you asking what that line is or just the funky characters/icons come from?

Both! I changed it and now i can read it. Can't seem to find where to get rid of it. Is it a feed from a Samsung app?

It comes from any app that plays music (so Android's native music player, Samsung Music and even Spotify). It was part of the most recent AOD update.
The characters for the title name? Not too sure. Probably some fancy font that has those characters.

That would depend on if you will be rocking an OtterBox type of case for the phone.
If yes, the case will end up peeling the edge of the full-screen tempered glass. I even let the screen protector sit on the phone for 48 hours so the adhesive could cure, but it still ended up peeling after I tucked the phone into the case.
Avoid the Sukix, Sukix Galaxy S7 Screen Protector Tempered Glass Full Screen Protector Film for Samsung Galaxy S7 by Sukix http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01KPROSHI/r..._DYpkyb6NM01C0
Only has adhesive on the black portion of the glass, creates a pocket of air between the phone and drastically reduced touch sensitivity

I honestly wouldn't bother with a tempered glass screen proctor for the S7. Gorilla glass 4 is pretty damn good and does not scratch easily.

Well Samsung seems doomed right now. With the Note issues and now a reported S7 exploding and the wash/dryer fiasco would you buy another product from them?

I just got my replacement S7 edge and it's working well again.
Samsung makes a great product, but they're going through some real issues right now. It reminds me of Toyota back in 2011 when the recall fiasco had their stock price tumbling.
They'll pull out of it.

My Edge has locked up twice in the last week. Only a 3 button reset restores it. Fuck.

Anyone having issue with sending text messages. It seems randomly it will send 2 of the same text out but on my side I only see it being sent once. Also started happening just today where when I try to send the text message it won't send out. When I resend it, the message got sent out twice.
Really strange.

I've got two main issues with my s7 edge
1. I lose total mobile/data network, forcing me to reboot the phone to be connected to signal again. (I replaced Sim and did a hard reboot - no luck, I still get this problem intermittently)
2. When dialing out, the dial tone (ring..ring...) will go very quiet.
during a conversation, if the other person speaks loudly, the sound will get instantly quiet/muffled.
anyone with issues or resolutions?

Going on a couple weeks with no issues on round 2.
That said, the Moto Z is looking really cool with it's list of attachments. Maybe it's time to move on from Samsung onto something new?  | |

Most of them are pretty useful (like the battery and speaker) so it justifies the bulk while some of them seem kinda useless (like the projector).
If you're looking at the Moto Z, then you probably already know this but they pioneered the exclusion of the headphone jack. Motorola/Lenovo are actually the ones with "courage" - not Apple! :P
