December 16, 2018 at 4:55 pmNeeding help. Recent button works fine but. Without touching the button i will zoom in and out rapidly. It stops when it feels like it. Frustrated. Took of $$$ screen protector. No help. Any advice? Paid for warranty thru Verizon.
simon says
December 17, 2018 at 2:31 amIf you didn’t touch the button, how did you know the problem was caused by that button? When you hover your finger over it?

August 4, 2018 at 6:13 pmWhere is the Bluetooth signal sent from? I have a “Rowkin Bit” ear bud, and whenever I’m outside the signal is choppy depending on how I hold my head. Is there a way I can avoid covering the antenna?
simon says
August 5, 2018 at 1:22 pmIt is usually caused by the weak connection of the earbud. It is common among many earbuds.

dorenthea says
September 19, 2017 at 7:39 pmWhat are the best settings to use on galaxy s7 for recording someone performing on stage?
simon says
September 20, 2017 at 12:44 amThere are not so many options for video recording. Some features may be not available in QHD or 4K or at 60fps. So, you may try stick to full HD.
You can also turn on HDR and tracking AF (if you want to focus on a specific performer).
Anyway, try the settings before the actual recording.

Ed Trasoline says
September 11, 2017 at 2:52 pmAm I supposed to speak into the top microphone or the bottom microphone in my Galaxy S7 Edge
simon says
September 11, 2017 at 11:31 pmBottom normally. But it’s not necessarily to speak to it directly. If you are too close to the microphone, the audio quality is actually poorer.

September 4, 2017 at 1:25 pmMy screen got crushed but still it works, I took it to expert technician to change for me the screen but he told me that your phone is made in US and it’s screen is that of 3 aerial antenna so with the local screen it won’t work so what is the solution thanks
simon says
September 5, 2017 at 1:01 amI did not understand what the technician said. It is strange.
Why didn’t you check with local Samsung service center?

Mike says
August 27, 2017 at 1:22 pmFor folks who have had sound playback distortion problems, try going into the sound settings. At the bottom of the advanced tab, there are settings for reverb and concert, for instance, make sure those are off.
Sil says
July 28, 2017 at 4:09 pmHi,
According to Samsung website and the videos on you youtube where they open the S7 & S7, the antenna isn’t at the bottom of the device (like shown on your device drawings) but at the top of the device.
Kind regards,
Sil

simon says
July 29, 2017 at 3:22 amThank you for the info.
Actually, there are 3 parts of antenna: top (wifi, gps), middle (NFC) and bottom (main). This is what I got from an engineer.
Anyway, we didn’t do the tear-down and I cannot personally confirm the correctness.

July 8, 2017 at 3:21 pmHow do you connect an external antenna to s7. I have a bag phone at the moment. I tried the s7 and I can be 7 miles from shore. With bag phone I only get 9 miles. I would like to be able to connect into the external antenna outside the boat I use for bag phone. Please let me know

July 9, 2017 at 1:58 amNot sure. You may check some boating communities.

July 3, 2017 at 4:11 pmMy galaxy 7 edge updated today. Now I can’t find the microphone button on the keyboard . I used this a lot to talk messages instead of typing them. Please help.
simon says
July 3, 2017 at 11:29 pmWhich keyboard are you using? For Samsung keyboard, what did you get If you hold the gear icon in the keyboard? You can also check whether Google voice typing is enabled or not in keyboard settings.
Our Facebook page || Galaxy S6 Guides || Galaxy S7 Guides || Android Oreo Guides || Galaxy S8 Guides || Galaxy S9 Guides || Google Home Guides || Galaxy S10 Guides .
Zach says
August 4, 2018 at 6:04 pmThe Google keyboard (Gboard) is a good keyboard (in my opinion better than the Samsung one) and has a lot of features to use straight from the keyboard. You could look into that if you don’t like the new Samsung keyboard.
Maxwest says
June 30, 2017 at 7:48 pmHi. My accidently thought the sim eject hole was the mic at the bottom and pinned it. We tested *#0283# and it works but you hear it is weaker than the second alternativ mic should I take it to the shop?
simon says
July 1, 2017 at 1:46 amNormally it should not be an issue. But it depends on individual case. You can wait a few hours to try it again. You can also reboot the phone then try again.
Of course, if you can feel the difference, you should visit local Samsung service center to check the hardware. Most handphone shops don’t have the tool to test and adjust mic.

Aron Mihail says
June 1, 2017 at 5:27 amThank you Simon.i try all advices from you (wipe cache partition,many reboot’s , different people calling)but nothing change.on my s7 edge is Nougat running, and there is no mic setting.dont found any special setting for mic(mics).i’m not specialized…where are these settings? Thank you again.
simon says
June 1, 2017 at 1:23 pmAs mentioned, there are no settings for mic. Self test (*#0*# or *#7353#) also does not include microphone.
If you still feel there is a problem, you may try to back up the phone and try a factory data reset.
If factory data reset does not solve the issue, you have to visit local Samsung service center to check the hardware.

simon says
August 1, 2017 at 11:36 amI don’t think you can adjust the build-in mic when using the Samsung camera app.

May 30, 2017 at 8:09 pmWhen i talk to someone ,the person hear me verry slow,from far away..on s7 edge.
But on speaker ,hear me excellent.where is the problem? is the bottom mic?special setting needed?
I try the voice record app.in standard mode .the sound is the same poor volume like on voice call.
When i swich to ,,interview ” mode the sound is ok.please help.
Thank you.
simon says
May 31, 2017 at 12:28 amThere are settings for the mic. If you believe there are some issues, you can visit Samsung service centre to check the hardware.
But I don’t think there are any issues with the mic. The hearing issue through earpiece can be due to issues with the other phone, or just “feelings”. For the voice recording, different settings are used for different modes.
You can try to reboot the phone to see whether it helps.
you can also try to clear cache partition to see where it helps.

Dale Stewart says
May 10, 2017 at 3:25 pmOn S7 what is the noise cancelling Mic used for. Can it be used for phone calls or is it for apps with two way audio capability?
simon says
May 11, 2017 at 12:53 amNoise cancelling is only for phone calls. Yes, Samsung phone app and voice recorder can use both mics. But only Samsung apps can choose which mic to use. Other apps cannot and they can only use the main mic.

Dave says
February 19, 2017 at 10:01 amHi, my battery died completely on my s7. When I plugged a charger lead in, the screen lit up with the usual 0% battery icon, but then a green flashing light just above the home button. That pulsed for a bit while the screen was on, then disappeared when the screen went off and the usual red indicator light came on at the top left.
What does this green light mean? I can’t find anything on the Internet about it.
Thanks
simon says
February 19, 2017 at 2:11 pmNot sure what exactly you saw. But very likely, it is a reminder that you cannot use it. You can use the phone only battery level is about 1% or higher.
If everything works now, you can forget it. But do NOT drain the battery completely. It is not good for the battery.

Matt says
February 6, 2017 at 9:11 pmHi. I accidentally poked the top mic hole instead of the sim tray with the pin. What an idiot! Mic still works fine, but does anyone have any information on the waterproof setup of the mic. Might I have compromised it? Thanks
simon says
February 7, 2017 at 12:59 amThe main/default mic is on the bottom. The top one is mainly for noise cancelling when in a talk.
Anyway, it’s hard to say whether waterproofing is affected without checking the hardware. But in most regions, such a check is not free in Samsung service center. Very likely, there are no cheap solutions.
So, if the phone still works properly, you may have to forget it. Don’t rely too much on waterproofing. The standard warranty never includes water damage anyway in most regions.

simon says
December 29, 2016 at 1:48 amNot sure. They are probably for positioning purposes. Someone mentioned somewhere it is related(improve) to the reception of antennas.

October 25, 2016 at 4:53 amI, and several other people in the comments are having an issue where thisbl case seems to be messing with the ambient light sensing ability of the phone.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C6GKZLO/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_ukUdybVBPVKFH
It clearly does not block the sensor at the top face of the device, but is there maybe other sensing that might be affected?

simon says
March 26, 2016 at 2:30 pmI can understand the issue. My owners may press the button inadvertently several times a day. Maybe a slightly larger bezel would be helpful.
But no, you cannot disable the button. You cannot assign the button for other functions.

Kevin says
March 10, 2016 at 12:57 pmIn the s4 I had the option to use the recent key button (galaxy s7 edge) as a settings/options button. I don’t know how to access this now in app unless the app has a more button etc. For example I am trying to install my memos that are saved on the sd card and I am not getting an option to do this.
simon says
March 10, 2016 at 1:34 pmThe option was removed since S6. The app should have a software menu key, which is usually 3 vertical dots (usually in top right). Of course, most apps also have a hamburger (3 short lines, usually in top left).
Anyway, if the app you are using has not updated for a few years, you may not have the button. You have to find alternative apps.
