I am looking at getting one to be able to root. I have seen that hundreds have been sold here, so would like to get feedback from anyone using one so far.
Know some features like WiFi calling will disappear, but wondering how they are working overall.
You'll most likely find the answers to your questions in the International S7 forums, just add "in US" and you'll probably get the feedback you need.

I plan to get one because it's better than the Dell Streak in terms of being unlocked and it works as a phone (without hacking it like the Galaxy Tab). I will get this device on Best Buy this week Let's get our hack section here now!
Just got home with mine! A kinda interesting so far .

I can't wait to install CyanogenMod on this huge fish!
Quick question: I'm thinking about buying it but do you need to have 3G/sim card in order to use the market and download apps? Or can you just get the tablet and enable wifi right away and use the market?
You can just use wifi if you want. So does anyone know if cyan is working on a rom for this yet? Also, what is the best root method for it?

You might want to add a poll to this thread.
Should we have a Ideos S7 section?
Yes or no
If you do, i will be voting yes because it will help grow the community.
I think so.

I ended up taking mine back and getting the galaxy tab. I loved it except for the resistive screen. Its a great tab though!!

True, but only 2g with tmo.

The S7 is a great tablet for the money. The only one I have found that is readily available with 3g, GPS and Bluetooth for $300.00. I have had mine for about a week and a half.
I love mine but I'm dying without android 2.2, any developers looking at these

you mean the prepaid packages sold from optus australia are not simlocked?
I picked one of these up the other day, and loving it. I originally picked up the Maylong M-150, but what a turd (Returned at record pace). This thing is much better. I would love to see it's own section in XDA with developer support. Cyan would be awesome on here.
Word up on the cyanogenmod shebang. This tablet is much easier to find than the Viewsonic which got its own section. So huh?
I too would like a section for this tablet and a cyanogen rom would be grand.
I just grabbed this little tablet for my son and was shocked at how much they packed in this little baby for the price. I was planning on getting a View Sonic G tablet for myself but might just grab another one of these.
Also side note anyone know where I can get a spare battery and or car charger for this thing?
Actually I really would love to see an extended battery up to 4000 mAH for this sucker.
I would love a section for this, I have the Telstra T-Touch Tab, which is what Telstra have rebranded it to in Australia, I think their hardware is slightly different though I am not 100% on that, if it is different then maybe a sub-forum for the T-Touch would be in order
This tablet has a lot of potential for froyo cooking and such, I do hope we get a forum
In all my searching I have never found anything positive about using the Gear VR with Root.
Some people have gotten lucky and have it work. Mostly using the stock modified Kernel but I can't be sure that this will work with my Model. G928F as it states that it is designed for other models.
Is anyone happily using their european Gear VR with root? If so what is your setup?
Thank you.

Hi,
I'm from the Netherlands, i also have the G928F.
With the modified kernel it works great!
So yes. i'm verry happy with the Gear VR.
Using Audax Rom with the Stock modified kernel.
t-mobile stock modified works fine.
Thank you everyone. I am sure you can understand my hesitation. with it being labelled T-Mobile. If anyone else has had good experiences with this or other kernels/ROMs please let us know. The more feedback the better.

I'm in UK with 928F and also running stock modified kernel with the vr. No worries here...works great.

hi. same for me here. i had same issues.
i found that for me Stock modiefied Kernel and Orgia rom works best. i have G928F. and everything works just fine, no worries about the kernel. it will work.
i also heard and read that skyhigh kernel is reported working. but it was not for me.
i know that you should stay as much stock as possible with rom an kernel from what i read.

So as some of you might've read already, the Note 5 'beta-test group' is receiving a new update, most likely the UX that will ship with the Note 7 that is bound to be released somewhere in August.
In my opinion it looks really clean and elegant while keeping that 'touchwiz' style. I'm hoping the UX will eventually (maybe with Android N) come to the S7 (edge)!
I'm curious whether this will also already work on our S7
If anyone is willing to try, please post your experiences and findings below! ^^

Great thanks for letting me (and other readers) know , did you just install the .apk's or did you copy and set permission as instructed in the thread?:good:
A web search finds a lot of issues with activating this phone under Verizon, but few that mention success (although why would there be?). Can anyone confirm that this is no longer an issue? Thanks.

From what I've read, most of those problems have been fixed. It seems like it was also easier for people moving their active sim from another phone to the G4. There was quite a long thread on the Lenovo forums but the Verizon complaints seemed to have mostly gone away.

I can report that all's well on Verizon with an XT1644 purchased from amazon.com. although I'm underwhelmed by the dev activity thus far for the xt1644 variant, I was able to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, root and flash a solid elementalx kernel in no time! Very solid call and data performance thus far - particularly after enabling VoLTE mode.

Hi,
Been trying to fix this issue for a week now. When my gf calls, her name doesn't come up. Only displays her number. My contacts are on my gmail account. All other contacts i have show up. She has an iphone and her name showed up on my old s5. Her phone is already set to display caller ID and so is mine. I spend like a few hours aday trying to troubleshoot this.. No luck whatsowever. Weird thing is, sometimes when she calls, her number appears with a ;oli=62 behind it. Example: 714-555-5555;oli=62. I googled oli (originating line information) but it makes no sense to me..
Things i've tried already:
1) resync gmail contacts
2) deleted her contact on gmail/phone/etc
3) readded her contact to phone internal storage and also gmail again
4) tried in safe mode to see if a application is blocking it
5) rebooted phone of course
6) re-adding her contact info with her data deleted from gmail
7) called verizon support
8) and last but not least.. reset/restored original s8 to factory
HELP.. i was gonna try to exchange the phone for another s8 but i really don't think that might be the issue.. i tried researching IPHONE issues with caller ID not showing up but all her settings seems correct.
Thanks in advance.
That's a LOT of troubleshooting on your end and quite frankly I'm surprised you're still having this issue after all of that. I'm kind of bewildered on what could even be the cause of this problem.
So let me get this straight, if you go to contacts on your phone and add someone else's number and details it works normally but even if you manually input her details you still have issues with caller ID?
Only 2 things I can possibly think of
1. Network provider issue
2. I feel like this is unlikely but maybe a sofware bug? Maybe there is a bug in the code that throws some sort of exception or error when your partners specific number is saved.
I couldn't find a definitive answer for this anywhere, its definitely a head scratcher. You don't unknowingly have any other apps syncing contacts do you?
EDIT: Could you get your hands on another S8 to troubleshoot? If adding the number works normally on another S8 then you're Gucci, you know the problem is specific to your device. If not, my two points still stand or I'd be looking at the iPhone as the culprit.
No other apps. That's what I thought it might be too. That's why I did a system restore. And before I did any updates. I had her call me to test it. Still same. Oddest issue ever. I am actually pretty decent at tech stuff but this puzzles me. Lol.
Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
That's really strange, what about in regards to my edit? Do you have another S8 you can test?
I only have one s8. And yes. No matter if I add her number to phone sim or gmail from the phone it doesn't work. I also tried deleted her contact from gmail contacts and adding it again. No luck. Adding a new contact works from someone else works.
Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
When in doubt, just blame the iPhone.
Haha, all joke aside I'm all outta ideas mate. I consider myself pretty savvy as well but it looks like you've covered all the bases so far which leaves me at a loss. You sure you don't have any family or friends with an S8 that your gf could call to test? That would be the best way to narrow it down even further at this point and the next logical step IMO.
Yeah. I've been trying to tell her to call everyone in her phone book to see if her name pops up. Lol. She only tried few people.

OK. I found a workaround to get the name to display. Log into your Google account on a computer and manually add that odd number. Example : 555-555-5555;oli=62. I added that along with the regular number without the oli=62 just incase they send out a fix for it. And that's it. The name showed up for me. Let me know if it works for u.
Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
It worked! I can't believe I didn't think to try this. Awesome fix.

Thank you guys so much. I've had this oli=62 problem for two weeks. The Google fix worked great. You guys are the best. I'll tell Verizion then should send you 20% of my monthly bill as you're better than their support!
