WiFi ask to join networks - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi all, getting to grips with my s7 edge now but as I've come over from ios I was wondering if there is any way to get my phone to notify me when wifi networks are available? This was a good thing about iOS in my opinion. Any help is greatly appreciated.

just confirming, on the international Exynos version, latest SIM-free firmware, I don't get the option either. Know exactly what you're wanting.... used to be able to do on my One M8, but I get the distinct impression that Samsung have removed user control over a great many aspects of phone operation in the international version of the phone. It's very annoying!

Yeah it's very annoying.. Any apps or tweaks that will do this?

Odd. It's on the US Sprint version.

Unable to See Ads

I don't know if this is a hyperdrive setting I cannot find or some reject of rooted phones or what but whenever I am in any browser (stock, mozilla,. Puffin, dolphin) if I click on one of the ads at the top of a search list (bing, google, doesn't matter which search engine) I cannot connect to the ad. I get the message below. It's like some sort of ad blocker is engaged but I don't know where or how to shut it off. Please help if you can. Thanks!

I ended up running an app called adblock unblocker and it seems to do the trick.

I tweeted vzw asking about the new lte band coverage in my area. they tweeted back a link with the map. i couldn't open it because it is considered an ad. I did want to open it. When I specifically try to open a link I don't want it to be blocked. Blocking. pushed ads is great. Ads within apps I ignore anyway. No need to block an ad I want to open.

Okay, but how do you access the FM Radio?
*edit* Never mind. Just use the Next Radio app.

It works great I am running mine on condensed its great. Allows me to check one more thing off the list of items I need root for. If I could just get V4A working I would be happy without root.
I have been really impressed with the frequency of updates for the S7 Edge, the updates for the S6 seemed to come months after launch for ciritical issues. Glad to see they are on top of it.

Question - Virtual Tour Camera Mode Gone?

Hi,
On my Galaxy S6 I have a camera mode which was also present onthe S5 too called "Virtual Tour" (don't get confused with Virtual Shot).
Now on the modes to download there's not there, but still for the S6.
Does someone knows how can I get it back?
Thanks!

Surround shot stays in just one place with a 360° view while virtual tour not only does that, also moves arround several sorround shots. It was really useful for me.
Here's an example of that mode: https://youtu.be/JxphLIrF_hE

Ok I installed the version currently available on samobile.. it worked!! Now if I wanted to revert to my s6 version of touchwiz I thought I could choose the option to uninstall updates under apps??
Uninstall updates isn't a button as you can see?!

I know you're looking for previous versions of the Samsung keyboard but there are far better ones available.
The best one overall is Gboard (Google keyboard). Gives shortcut straight to Google search, allows a moderate amount of customization (themes) and allows slide typing.
Swiftkey and Flesky are two other ones that are pretty close, Flesky has some serious perks in terms of screen estate and theming (you can customize the look to virtually anything you desire). Both of these are free as well.

Anybody received the customizable Google Search widget update?

Hello
I was looking for the customizable Google Search widget update when I first heard the news about it.
I have realized that I am now using much more recent version of the same. .
But I still could not get the overflow menu in the widget to customize it.
Did anyone got luck with that?
I am in the Google app beta and have it

I am not in the beta channel but having even more recent build of the same.
I didn't get any overflow menu to customize it.
Are you using stock launcher ?

Am i using incompatible version ?
I am not getting the overflow menu.
It seems to be tied to the main account on a phone. I just set up my partner's new S8 and the custom option appeared. Not on my S8 or G6. I don't think it's phone specific, but rather tied to an account that has it activated. Very frustrating.
