last update made my phone worse - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

After that last update my download speeds have dropped, the device randomly gets warm as if it's playing a graphic intensive game, and my wifi will randomly turn on.
Anyone else have any of these issues?

Try a factory reset.

[Q] Anyone else having weird play store download issues?

Hi All,
So I seem to be having a weird issue, and I don't know if it is my phone, or simply connection issues.
I got my Note 3 last night and it seemed to hang on "Downloading" for app updates. It seemed more prone to it if the phone went to sleep, and then it would take a while to kick in once it woke up.
There doesn't seem to be an issue when the phone is awake, but if the phone turns off.
Anyone else having issues?
Thanks
I have the issue sometimes. You just have to hit the x next to the DL bar and re install.

Anyone getting random restarts/reboots?

Since I got it, I have had about 5 random freezing and complete restarts. Once when YouTube was playing, the audio froze and produced a horrible buzzing sound then restarted.
I did a factory reset and it has happened twice since. I'm wondering if I have a faulty SD card...
Anyone else?
I got mine on Monday and so far no problems

Do you have an SD card in yours?
That happens on my daughters Nexus 10 tablet, it definitely is YouTube and the high definition videos that cause that, it's unfortunate to hear that is happening on this phone.
No issues here or with YouTube. Yes i have sdcard.
yea! same here. i have random restarts!!! i thought it's just me. and I have SD card inserted.
this was me playing games... Fate/Grand Order in particular... i don't have sound on, so I don't know if what's happening...
the phone just goes black, and then the samsung boot logo starts.
I have no issues with g935t w/ sd card
my restart doesn't happen often, maybe like once every 2 day... and almost always playing games or was just playing games... i wonder what's wrong X_X
Only had one freeze and that was when it first booted and was restoring apps. I was uninstalling apps at the same time it was installing them and it froze for like 10 seconds. Other than that no issues.

Mine freezes then reboots every 10 minutes and gets super hot.No memory card inserted. Factory reset 3 times and disabled apps but doesn't make a difference.

Yup. Probably overheating and shutting off as a precaution.

No freezing so far. I've had my S7 Edge since Tuesday and I'm using my same SD card that was in my S5. I've watched YouTube several times as well as played several games ranging from Mobile Strike to GTA Vice City.
same here. I got my s7 edge on Wed eve. setup everything. No Issues then. next day morning on the way to work, it got restarted for the first time. While walking to Office, it restated couple of times. no specific pattern to it. If I try to do anything, it gets freeze and after few seconds, it restarts.
Couldn't check if it got restarted while at work. but again in the evening, I made a samsung Pay at a store and while driving back, it got restarted. Then at another store, it keeps on restarting after each reboot. Device gets hot as well. really hot.
Tried factory resetting, but immediately after I log back in, it restarted, at the same place.
I turned on Airplane mode and then device cooled off, and it ddnt restart after that. After 15 min or so, turned off Airplane mode, and device ddnt restart yet when Iam writing this now, almost 3 hours later.
Starnge thing is, it never gets restarted at home. it always happens when Iam outside. Something to do with the network? Im on ATT.
another issue, even for small tasks like browsing websites, device gets hot. Hot enough that you will notice.
Not good sammy. Iam a fan of you since 2011 and none of galaxy had issues atleast from day 1.
Iam gona wait a day more, if it still restarts, I dnt want them damn warranty/replacement. Iam gona get iPhone6. I dnt like ios, but atleast it wont die on me like this.
Woah!!! as iam writing this, it got restarted now. WTF! Guys pls stay away from s7 pls!
I had one really random reboot. Next the frone has issues with enabling fingerpring authentication in Play. It stops responding and anter about 15 seconds reboots.
Mine rebooted once during installing all my apps first use

Use of Camera App overhearts and shuts down the phone

Hi,
I sent an Essential Phone to my mom oversea, and her phone has been having this issue where when she uses the the camera app, phone heats up, freezes, and eventually shuts down. It has the latest version installed (OPM1.180104.166). Has anyone else experienced this issue? If you know a fix, please share.
Thank you

It's weird. I just came from my vacation, which i used the essential to take photos and gps. And never afront any of this issues.. never heat up or freeze.
I'm on the same May update and used my camera extensively the last two days w/o any issues or overheats.
What's the signal like where she's using the phone? I'm wondering if the issue might be compounded by a weak signal area, especially if you're using an app that continuously backs up your photos to the cloud.
She should factory reset the phone and choose the fresh start option when setting up the phone again to verify that there isn't a software problem.
There are hardware problems with some Essential Phones that causes them to overheat and become unstable which leads to the phone freezing, rebooting or shutting down. The issue seems to be rare but it has been reported by some owners.
If the factory reset doesn't fix the issue it's almost certainly a hardware issue.

Random reboots

Anyone here had experienced random reboots? It constantly happening to me different days, with no reason. I do not know what could be wrong.

Using this device for 3 weeks and I've been experiencing this since last week. It hasn't happened during the day yet but at night it does. When I wake up my phone is either at the 'unlock sim card' screen when it's connected to my charger or just off and I have to boot it up. The latter is very annoying as my alarm doesnt work then.
I fear it's a hardware (battery or mobo) issue but hope it's a software one as it's happening only during the night so far. I'm in the process of unlocking my bootloader as of an hour ago and hope a clean install / flashing an older version of miui or flashing miui.eu may fix this.
I have low hopes for Banggood customer service where I ordered the phone...
Edit: please do chime in if others have experienced this or have advice on troubleshooting like logging the crashes or smth, I'm a big noob in this regard.
It happens to me randomly. No specific time of the day, but not always, its been getting frequent though. Before its like every 2 to 3 weeks, now i'am having it every week. There are also times that the phone becomes hot, not very but noticeably hot, then it freezes so I have to force reboot it. If someone out there knows whats going on please enlighten us.

Okay it seems I was pretty dumb and had the auto-schedule turned on under Security -> battery -> settings -> schedule on/off. Had it set at turn on at 00:00 and off at 07:15. However, I thought this settings was to turn on and off the battery saver mode lol. I turned the whole thing off and hope I won't find my phone rebooting at night now.
Did you find a solution? It has been happening to me too. When I am playing a game, or doing skype calls, or just randomly, It happened a few times also when I tried to use google photos, it is more and more often.

Yeah, see my comment above. For me I actually accidentally set it up to reboot. Random reboots often point to a faulty battery, possibly loose connectors.

Mi9T random shutdown

So this happened like a week ago and I thought it was some weird coincidence but it happened again twice today. The phone just randomly shuts down, it only seems to happen while playing pubg. I'm in the middle of a game and the phone just turns off but it makes this noise like when a circuit shuts down it's not a noticeable noise but still quite weird. It happened a while ago in the middle of a game and today I opened a hotspot for a friend while playing at the same time and it did this...I also turned the hotspot off and played and it did this again.
IDK what to do...possible defective unit ? Or maybe it's a problem with the game itself ?

I guess u should go for a replacement or a refund and I think it is a battery cable problem
Yeah I think it's a battery problem too since it only seems to happen when the battery drain is high, my device is only 3 months old so its still under warranty.
I'll monitor it throughout this week, if this persists I'll definitely swing by Xiaomi.
(Device is completely stock btw even the bootloader is still locked)
Did you manage to find the problem? I got my 9T pro for around 4 months now and it also started to shut off multiple times a day. Not during any particular heavy loads or apps/games. Just random it shuts down. Really annoying and I have no Idea if this is software of hardware related problem.
