I'm not really sure where to post this issue.
I tried posting it on the ARtoolkit forums but there were no replies to it.
So I'm developing a simple augmented reality game using ARtoolkit. And it works on almost all android phones but on some S7 and S7 edge phones it gives a very weird result.
Here is the sample scene (slightly modified) from ARtoolkit (

Result on LG G4: (how it's suppose to be)

Result on Samsung S7: (same apk but very diff results)

I've been trying to find the cause of this issue and haven't had much luck. It works normally on LG G4, Samsung S5, Samsung S6, Samsung Note, xiomi V.
And the weird thing is that it works on some S7's. It works on the SM-G930F but it doesnt work on the SM-G930T.
It works on the S7 edge SM-G935P but doesn't work on the SM-G935F.
I thought maybe it was the processor but both the 935P and 935F have the snapdragon.
Anybody know what could cause this?

Hi,
I'm at stock firmware and i didn't changed anything for warranty purposes.
I've runned atuntu and even getting 79000 the part when it's in the garden it lag's like S#!T.
Here is the same problem:
https://youtu.be/LADBMwHJRsc?t=76 - check out the S6, lagging like hell..
Anyone having same issue?
Regards.
The S6 has one of the 2 QHD displays of those phones and the S7 Edge has the Snapdragon 820 and that might be why it's lagging.
Well, pretty lame lagging like this...
Hello,
Just read the new Xiaomi Mi 5 (Snapdragon 820) review at GSMArena and it got a battery rating of 92h, whereas the Galaxy S7 got only an 80h rating and the S7 Edge managed to obtain 98h (both S7 and S7 Edge tested were Exynos, imagine what ratings would they got if they were the SD820 editions...). The web browing score of the Mi 5 was like 30% higher than that of the S7. Both Mi5 and S7 have 5.1" screens and 3000 mAh batteries.
This leads me to believe that:
- Either there is something wrong with the initial firmware of the Samsung devices (unoptimized web browser ?) that could be fixed with some updates, because I believe that the 3000mAh in the S7 and 3600 in the S7 Edge could be capable of much more, given the numbers put out by the new competition.
- Or maybe Samsung did something wrong hardware-wise ?
Given the Mi5 battery result, I am now expecting the LG G5 to produce a similar or better rating. These kind of ratings are what I have expected from 2016 devices, the S7 and S7 Edge (even the Exynos versions) disappointed my quite a bit in this area (although I did purchase an Exynos S7 Edge).
Here is the battery life section of the review:
http://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_5-review-1411p3.php
What do you think ? Is there room for major battery life improvement with updates on the S7/Edge ?
Maybe u should stop comparing full hd screen to quad hd... then re think that again

Maybe they were using a bug ridden S7 Edge like many of us. My S7 Edge battery isn't no where near what it should be. All I'm saying is Samsung better get an update out by next Saturday. If not, this phone is going back and I'll be waiting on the new LG or HTC.

Idle drain is a big percentage of the score.
I was always a dual user of both iOS and Android, but when the iPhone 6 came out, I decided to opt for the iPhone 6 Plus and use it primarily and gave my HTC M8 to my mother. I must say I had an amazing experience with HTC, using both the M7 and M8 consecutively. Recently I've been experiencing issues with the iPhone and the 6S does not really interest me, so I was thinking of going back to Android. The options I am looking at are the S7 Edge and HTC 10.
Since I've had a great experience with HTC, I thought I would go for the 10 but I read a lot of mixed reviews about it and from the looks department, it looks really similar to my M8 so it won't feel much different, and I believe HTC Sense has not been overhauled recently so it's going to feel almost exactly the same. I had horrible experiences with both the Galaxy S3 and S5, the latter being the WORST device I've ever used in my life (and I've used so many), which is why I am scared about going for the S7 Edge.
My experience with the S5 started well, but gradually kept getting worse and worse until it was time to give it up - it had the Exynos (not sure of the spelling) processor, so perhaps that is why? But I've always found TouchWiz to be quite laggy compared to stock Android, for example. I have read good reviews about the S7 Edge, however, and I have a couple of questions before going ahead and buying it:
1) How is TouchWiz nowadays? Is it smooth and snappy or would I need install custom ROMs and such? I really love custom ROMs and changing it up every now and then so I won't have problems with that.
2) Is there a noticeable difference between the Snapdragon and the Exynos? On the S5, the latter was NOT supported by developers at all, so it is the same case here or not?
3) Samsung seems to have many variants of the S7, but to my understanding there are two S7 Edge variants, one with a dual-sim (DUOS) and one with just one, so is that true? And if so, are they both supported by developers or just one of them?
4) How is your overall experience with the device so far? And is the S8 possibly coming out soon? I wouldn't mind waiting if it's going to be released very soon.
Thank you for your time.
p.s. I recently purchased a Moto 360 2nd gen smart watch which I absolutely watch and is one of the main reasons I want an Android device because its iOS support is horrendous; is the S7 Edge compatible with the Moto 360 fine? Or is the dependability solely relying on the Android Wear app itself rather than the actual device?
Rooting and developer support seem to crop up frequently in your post.
For that reason the Exynox version is probably more of interest.
However, I would suggest another option if you really feel that strongly about playing around with rom's and that is the Oneplus3. It has all the support you need.
Personally, the worst thing I can say about the Edge is that the alarm doesn't go quiet enough ... . I also use the Op3 though I have not rooted, it works just fine as is (as does the S7E).
Both are plenty fast enough for any software currently available. - I think half the problems some seem to have with the S7(E) seems to originate with the need to customize every little bit.
TouchWhiz is good (imho) and even the browser is optimized and blazingly fast. At the end of the day it comes down to UI preference. Op's UI is much closer to stock Android and I like that too.
When it comes to form factor and pride of ownership, there is only one winner though and I doubt many could argue with that one.
1) Honestly I can't think of a single bad thing about the TouchWiz on the S7 Edge. Works just fine, My only serious complain is that dark themes don't theme some parts of the overall UI (such as the battery graph, and set alarms) and therefore are left white and looks... unfinished. In terms of performance no issues whatsoever.
2) There is difference yes, the Exynos being the better option. People have reported better user experience, as well as better battery life on the Exynos version. However don't expect much development for the version with Samsung's cpu.
4) The S7 is a few months old, way too early to talk about S8. It is a really good phone, probably the best I've had and I've had my fair and square experience with smartphones. The battery life for me alone is better than anything I've tried, maybe only for the 6S Plus. Overall 4+ hours SoT on heavy day.
The HTC is a good phone, but I personally believe the S7 edge is the better option here. The M10 is not worth the askes price.

Thank you for your replies, gentleman. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to reply but I got caught up in other things and for some reason I did not receive email notifications of your replies even though I have subscribed to the thread.
I believe I'm going for the S7 Edge today since I'm off work. I would like to know how to tell between a Snapdragon or Exynos processor? Is it perhaps written on the box itself?
And your posts seem to be conflicting since drummerman says the Exynos processor is better for development while derWolf says otherwise. Which one is it? Did I misunderstand your posts, perhaps?
Thank you!

The Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge with the Exynos processor is the best in my opinion. The Galaxy S7 with the Exynos processor is the SM-G930F and the S7 Edge is the SM-G935F. The "F" is the designation for the Global model with an unlocked bootloader and can easily be rooted with CF Autoroot and Odin. TWRP is available for both variants of the S7 as well.
If you can open the box at the store and power up the device, go to Settings - About Device
You will see the model number.

I've tried Phoenix and absolutely loved it, but one of the huge issues is that NFC constantly tried to enable but never could, thus draining battery. I was wondering if there's a decent S7 Edge port that would work well on my Sprint S5 and have NFC usable. Thanks!
I guess nothing exists then? I've looked all over and haven't been able to find anything.
I've noticed official LinageOS is available for the S6 and S6 Edge, i no it's possible to use Note 5 roms on the S6+ while using a S6+ kernel. I searched through the S6, S6 Edge and S6 Edge+ threads to try and find if it's possible to use S6 or S6 Edge roms on the S6 Edge+ while using a S6 Edge+ kernel.
No one has confirmed this, tho it seems all devices use same hardware i believe besides screen size and ram. I don't wanna risk bricking my device. If anyone has any information would be great.
Thanks.

It works, but generally not as simply as change the updater script. You have to match ramdisk sizes and make sure paths are correct. If you really want to know you should pm me, it took me two years to learn because nobody wanted to explain it and tutorials only get you so far unless you fully understand what it's saying.
