    Curious if anyone is having this problem....

    Notifications for my Galaxy S5 running Lollipop work EVERYWHERE on wifi except home.

    I've disabled IPV6 on my router, tried heartbeat fixers, just tried turning off Advanced Calling so I don't know if that will fix it or not.

    I just did a factory reset not too long ago so I don't really want to do that, but just was curious if anyone else ran into this.

    I'll be glad when Marshmellow rolls out for Note 4 on AT&T.

    The lack of permission control is starting to get even more bothersome, especially to my battery. Loved having the Note 3 as there was the app App Ops to control that.

    My Galaxy S5 got stuck in a boot loop, and thankfully I got an exception to upgrade early so the S7 is coming tomorrow.

    I dropped my LG G3 a few weeks ago and upgraded to the S7 Edge. I'm liking it so far... though the Edge part really isn't all that beneficial.

    Yeah decided against the Edge.

    I tried wiping the phone, even flashing the stock firmware to the phone, and still it's stuck in a bootloop, and thankfully after a couple of tries, I got the right people to talk to at Verizon to let me upgrade early.

    I have an S5 and my next move will be to an S7. I don't see the benefit of the Edge feature either. I don't see any value to it but I could be wrong.

    Did you try another sim or have the SD card removed? Sure you tried all of that beforehand, just wondering as I couldn't see why that would happen unless it was something being held in memory or the card somehow

    I'm pretty sure it was from visiting shady porn sites.

    I removed everything, formatted, flashed several versions of the firmware, cleared the cache, basically flashing the firmware should fix it, but it didn't so it's toast and maybe I can get $40 on eBay for it o

    I love my S7 right now. The fingerprint unlock feature works so much better than it did on the S5 and I have gotten on the wireless charging bandwagon.

    Still no Marshmallow yet on AT&T

    Finally dumped my old Droid Maxx (it picked up a bad habit of randomly not sending or receiving any text messages for hours at a time) and am now rolling on a Galaxy S7 as of Saturday evening.

    Much like JB, I'm fully on board with wireless charging and bought the wireless charging dock (I love not having to deal with the charging cord) and already had fingerprint set up on my phone before even leaving the store.

    Spent from around 9pm Saturday to this morning re-download and logging into all of my apps, resetting notification settings, etc. But I am now 100% up and running on the S7 and no longer need to keep my old phone on me.

    And I'm enjoying the leap to Marshmallow. I was still stuck on Kitkat on my old phone, currently on the most recently updated version of Marshmallow. Hopefully with the S7 being only two or three months old at this point, Verizon won't be a douche and will release the update for N/7.0 whenever Google releases it this fall.

    As for the S7/S7 Edge debate, I originally was going to get an Edge, but after thinking it over, after checking it out in store, and with the effect of the lower price on the regular S7, I decided to go with the regular S7. The Edge is an interesting feature, but after actually messing with it in store, it turned out to definitely be something I probably wouldn't use every day. That and the curved glass of the Edge screen, from what I've read, is so fucking easy to break, that sort of shied me away from it as well.

    Ok. My S5 is starting to show signs that the screen is going to go out. It may go out today, it may be in 6 months, who knows?

    That said, I want to act before it does. I'm definitely going with either an S7 or a Note 7. Does anyone have any reasons to pick one over the other? It seems the differences are pretty minimal, including the screen size, but I really am not sure. Cost is not a major factor.

    Thanks!

    I have one of those. I'm getting tired of it.

    Speaking of phones, still no marshmallow update on Note 4 from AT&T, while Sprint, Verizon and Tmobile had theirs out months ago.

    May look at the Note 7, but noticed the battery cannot be removed. Defeats the whole purpose of water I know, just like having that option. Regardless of any battery that it is replaced with will be a refurbished aftermarket one.
