Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is actually the best-crafted phone the Korean company has managed in the recent times. Given its premium pricing and user expectations, it can become frustrating when it doesn’t work or perform as expected.
If your new Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is giving you restless days and nights, we may have something just right for you in this piece. Here are some of the common problems that are faced by Galaxy S7 Edge owners and their most reliable solutions.
Failing camera
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge has one of the best cameras in the smartphone market right now. However, it is not perfect as you may sometimes come across a situation where it fails. When you see the Camera Failed warning popping up, try hard resetting the phone. If this doesn’t work, try clearing the data cache of the camera app by heading to Settings>Apps>Apps Manager>Camera>Force Stop and then proceed by clearing both the data and the cache of the app.
Screen randomly turns on
Some users have complained of cases where the display screen of Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge turns on without their consent. Well, this is probably because the Easy Screen Turn On feature is enabled. This feature turns on the skin whenever it detects you waving your hand over it.
This feature is hidden under the Dexterity and Interaction option under the Accessibility Settings.
Slow wireless charging
Samsung packed quick wireless charging into the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. If you own any of these two phones are realize that the quick wireless charging functionality is nowhere near quick, first ensure that you this setting is turned on via the Battery Setting. If this doesn’t work, try charging the phone when it’s without the case, just in case it has one. Another thing to check is the compatibility of the charging pad with quick wireless charging.
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth problems
A new phone coming in with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth problems is not something new. In case you have issues with connecting to a Wi-Fi network, try forgetting the network and reconnect to the same network once again. This should also help when you have problems with Bluetooth. If this doesn’t work, try rebooting the phone. For persistent Wi-Fi issues, rebooting your router might just be the key to solving all your connectivity problems.
Buttons aren’t working
In case of encounters with buttons that aren’t working on your Galaxy S7 Edge, you can try hard resetting your phone by pressing and holding the Power and Home button. If this doesn’t help, you may be forced to contact Samsung or the vendor who sold you the phone for a replacement.
Battery life problems
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge has a 3600mAh battery capacity. This unit is expected to last the entire day with proper usage. However, some users are experiencing poor battery lives with their S7 Edge phones. Most probably, this is being caused by an app. You can choose to close all apps or restart the phone to see if there is any change. Also, ensure that you have turned off any features that are not in use, for instance, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, mobile data or GPS.
Other steps you can take to improve your phone’s battery life are turning down the display brightness as well as stopping apps from running in the background by heading to “Settings>Data usage>Background data.”
