                      The Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are two major
 2016 smartphones stars. These devices have solved some issues by 
returning some lost features from the Galaxy S5, such as the microSD 
card and water resistance. But they also have managed to maintain the 
spectacular Galaxy S6 design (sans the protruding rear camera). But even
 with these great features, there are still some issue with these 
devices. Here are the main problems and their solutions.<br />

<h2>
Display problems</h2>
One of the problems
 reported by owners of these two devices pertains to the automatic 
activation of the screen without any user interaction and without 
receiving any notification.<br />
This can happen for several reasons that have to do with display settings as someone or something approaches the device.<br />
<figure>

 <figcaption>

 </figcaption> 
</figure><h3>
Solution</h3>
To end the inadvertent activation of the 
screen, you can disable this feature as a preventive remedy until the 
sensitivity is improved in future updates. You can also modify 
your application notifications if you think they wake up the screen 
too often.<br />
<h2>
MicroSD issues</h2>
The S7 has 
revamped one of the features that owners sorely missed with the Galaxy 
S6. Despite having Android Marshmallow right out of the box, it does not
 support the native use of a microSD card as system memory; it only 
supports it as removable memory.<br />
Some users report receiving some notifications with warnings of problems when microSD cards are first introduced.<br />
<figure>
 <img alt="AndroidPIT Samsung galaxy s7 REVIEW 6" src="https://fscl01.fonpit.de/userfiles/6727621/image/2016/Samsung-Galaxy-S7/AndroidPIT-Samsung-galaxy-s7-REVIEW-6-w782.jpg" /> 
 <figcaption>

 </figcaption> 
</figure><h3>
Solution</h3>
If you have problems with notifications 
from microSD cards it is best to ensure all data contained on the card 
was formatted on a PC or Mac with the program recommended by the SD 
Association: <a href="https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/index.html" target="_blank">SD Formatter</a>. If,
 after formatting, you still have problems with the card, it's better to
 get a new card before losing some unrecoverable data.<br />
<h2>
Camera failure</h2>
Some
 users have reported errors when using the camera of the Galaxy S7. It 
appears that when you click on the camera icon to activate the screen 
it goes blank and a warning message pops up that says the camera has 
failed. It seems that the Galaxy S7 suffers from this ailment more often
 than the Edge.<br />
<figure>
 <img alt="Androidpit s7 tricks 1148" src="https://fscl01.fonpit.de/userfiles/6727621/image/2016/Samsung-Galaxy-S7/Androidpit-s7-tricks-1148-w782.jpg" /> 
 <figcaption>

 </figcaption> 
</figure><h3>
Solution</h3>
This problem seems to be caused by the 
interaction of Smart Stay. This feature uses the front camera to see 
where you pay attention to the smartphone screen. Apparently, this 
creates an incompatibility issue when you want to use the rear 
camera. This feature can be disabled in the settings, but a permanent 
solution can only be actuated with a software update.<br />
<h2>
Capacitive buttons not responding</h2>
There
 are reports of owners having a malfunction in the capacitive buttons 
and physical home button. Apparently, the phone that suffers the most 
from this problem is the Galaxy S7 Edge.<br />
<h3>
Solution</h3>
Most of 
these problems could be the result of malfunction in an application. To 
verify that an application is causing the error, it is best to enter 
safe mode. To do this, turn off the device and turn it on while 
holding the button until the Samsung logo appears. Then release it and 
press the volume button down. In this mode, you can check if an 
application is the issue.<br />
<h2>
Distorted audio and humidity warning</h2>
Another
 function that Samsung has revived from the Galaxy S5 is the certificate
 of resistance to water and dust. In this case, in both S7 devices (and 
in the Note 7), we can enjoy the security of IP68 certification. In the 
Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge you cannot remove the rear, so at least we spared 
the problem facing the S5 cover.<br />
But in some smartphones we have 
encountered problems and warnings about moisture as well as distorted 
audio because of a headphone jack.<br />
<figure>

 <figcaption>

 </figcaption> 
</figure><h3>
Solution</h3>
It is best to always keep the device dry. 
That is pretty obvious, but with the water resistance certification, 
there is a tendency to play fast and loose with this normal 
caution. Humidity problems are often the result of water accumulated 
in both the micro USB port and headphone jack. If the Galaxy S7 has had 
contact with liquids you should dry it well, especially on the 
connections, before connecting anything. If problems persist put the 
device in rice or <a href="https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-fix-smartphone-dropped-in-water" target="_top">check out some of our other solutions</a>.<br />
<h2>
Problems with connectivity: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth</h2>
Many
 users report problems related Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth 
connections. The problems are mainly not being able to connect or lose 
the signal especially with Wi-Fi networks. While it seems the latest 
updates have improved the problem, there are still reports of issues.<br />
<h3>
Solution</h3>
Upgrade your
 device to the latest version of Android. Also, update apps because you 
may have some problems with them and it might appear as if it's due to 
the connection. The Wi-Fi antenna for the S7 supports both 2.4 and 5 
GHz. Select the default setting as the 2.4 GHz band although it's slower
 it's more stable.<br />

                      Android's USB debugging feature may sound scary
 but it's not as complex as it may seem. USB debugging is basically just
 a way to allow an Android smartphone to transfer information to and 
from a computer. Below we tell you what exactly it is and how you 
can use it.<br />

                <h2>
What is USB debugging?</h2>
As the name suggests, 
USB debugging relates to the act of tracking bugs via USB. 
Traditionally, Android app developers would use this process to test 
software and find problems using the Android Studio development kit on a
 computer. Nowadays, it is used by both developers and Android users 
to assist in tasks such as installing a custom recovery, rooting a 
device, installing a new ROM and more.<br />
<figure>

 </figcaption> 
</figure><h2>
How do I enable USB debugging?</h2>
<span style="line-height: 1.4;">To
 enable USB debugging, you first must enable the 'Developer options' 
menu in Android (if you haven't already). Here are the complete steps:</span><br />
<ul>
<li>Go to the settings of your device by pulling down the notification shade and hitting the 'cog' icon</li>
<li>Scroll down to 'About phone'</li>
<li>Tap on 'build number' about 7 times until you see a message saying Developer options are activated</li>
<li>Hit back and you will see the Developer options menu appear at the bottom of the settings page</li>
<li>Tap on it and scroll down until you see USB debugging; press it and hit 'okay' to enable it</li>
</ul>
<figure>

 <figcaption>

</figure>If you have a device which is running <a href="http://www.androidpit.com/topic/android-2-3-gingerbread" target="_top">Android 2.3</a> or earlier, here are the steps to follow:<br />
<ul>
<li>Open the settings</li>
<li>Tap on Applications (sometimes called Apps or App Manager)</li>
<li>Scroll down until you find the Developer options</li>
<li>Tap on this and enable USB debugging</li>
</ul>
Now you're all set, USB debugging has been activated. You will now be able to install <a href="https://www.androidpit.com/best-custom-roms-for-android" target="_top">custom ROMs</a> to your Android device, or even <a href="http://www.androidpit.com/how-to-use-your-broken-smartphone-from-a-pc" target="_top">use your smartphone remotely if you have broken the screen</a>.<br />

MobiKin Doctor for Android</h2>
If you've lost or

 back is to get a quality program that quickly recovers them. MobiKin 
Doctor for Android is a top-notch system that quickly and effectively 
recovers all of your text messages. The link below is Mobikin's 
step-by-step guide for how to proceed with the program:<br />

You can use the program without rooting your phone, though 
Mobikin guarantees you'll be able to retrieve the full extent of your 
content if you do. To find out how to root your phone, you can follow 
the Mobikin method <a href="https://www.mobikin.com/android-recovery/how-to-root-android-device.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Please ensure that you also read our <a href="https://www.androidpit.com/root-android#whatisroot">complete guide to rooting</a>.<br />
Another important feature to a text message recovery program is compatibility, and <a href="http://www.mobikin.com/doctor-for-android/" rel="nodigidip nofollow" target="_blank">MobiKin Doctor for Android</a>
 supports over 2,000 Android device models. This innovative program can

 is extensive, so chances are your smartphone is compatible. We used a 
Galaxy S6 in the AndroidPIT office, and it worked flawlessly and 
quickly.<br />
After installing the program on my Windows PC and 
connecting the device, I was prompted to allow Mobikin access to my 
phone in seconds. The preview of my text messages on the Mobikin main 
screen took just 17 seconds, and finally recovering the data and backing
 them up onto my PC happened instantaneously. Check out the screenshots

Don't lose a text message again</h2>
Maybe you've learned
 your lesson, maybe you haven't. If you want to avoid the panic of 
losing your messages, the best thing to do is to back up your SMS 
messages regularly. The good news is, doing so only takes five minutes.<br />
I
 use a free app called SMS Backup & Restore. It's straightforward, 
looks nice and works perfectly: all you need for this type of operation.
 Check out the screenshots below for the walkthrough.<br />
<a class="articleInstallApp" data-app="{"icon":"https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/iDnT7VVpdMXlhxRaXFPFsB66zKDQhTfnWDp7M3P2g20HtaH7E4Tv1cpETO3fU-Lx-A=w80","id":"com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore","title":"SMS Backup & Restore"}" href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&referrer=utm_source%3DAndroidPIT%26utm_medium%3DAndroidPIT%26utm_campaign%3DAndroidPIT" target="_blank">

      </span>
    </a><strong>1.</strong> Once you've downloaded and installed SMS Backup & Restore, open the app and tap <em>Backup</em>.<br />
<strong>2.</strong> Next, choose what exactly you want to create a backup of, then – crucially – tap <em>Local backup and upload</em> if you want to send your backup to Google Drive, Dropbox or an email address.<br />
<strong>3.</strong> Make your selection from the list that appears and then tap <em>OK</em>.<br />

                      If you've ever picked up your phone to see that
 Google Play is going crazy and auto-updating app after app, you might 
feel your stomach tightening up as you see your data allowance 
evaporating into thin air. Fortunately, this is easy to solve. We'll 
show you how to stop apps from updating automatically so that Google 
Play only updates when and how you want it to.<br />

                As a general rule, apps you have installed from 
Google Play will download updates automatically (called auto-update 
apps) in order to improve their performance on your tablet or 
smartphone. Generally speaking, this is a good thing, but it can also 
slow down your phone, use up your mobile data and stop you from doing 
other things with your device. This is where manually updating apps can 
be more practical.<br />

<h2>
How to disable auto-update apps in Google Play</h2>
<strong>1.</strong> Open Google Play and swipe out the navigation drawer. Choose <em>Settings</em>.<br />
<strong>2. </strong>In the Play Store settings, tap <em>Auto-update apps</em>.<br />
<strong>3.</strong> You'll see three options (which can be changed at any time): <em>Do not auto-update apps</em>;<em> Auto-update apps at any time. Data charges may apply</em>; and <em>Auto-update apps over Wi-Fi only</em>.<br />
<figure>

 <figcaption>

 </figcaption> 
</figure><strong>4. </strong>Choose the first one. Note that this 
means you will always need to manually update all apps in the future. If
 you still want apps to update automatically, just not on your data 
connection, select <em>Auto-update apps over Wi-Fi only</em>.<br />
<h2>
How to manually update apps in the Play Store</h2>
<strong>1.</strong>
 If you've told the Play Store not to auto-update apps, you'll have to 
do it manually. To manually update an app, you must go to <em>My apps</em> in Google Play, so open the navigation drawer and select it (from under the main <em>Apps & games </em>category).<br />
<figure>

 <figcaption>

 </figcaption> 
</figure><strong>2. </strong>You will be shown a tab view of your 
apps: the ones currently installed on your device and a master list of 
every app you've ever downloaded. In the <em>Installed</em> list, you'll see the apps are broken up into categories: <em>Updates</em>, <em>Recently updated</em> and <em>Up-to-date. </em><br />
<strong>3.</strong> Apps with updates available are listed at the top. You can choose to install them one at a time or all of them with the <em>Update All</em> button at the top.<br />

Bottom line is this... Google has a problem 
that Google created and Google needs to solve it.  "Unfortunately, 
Google play services has stopped".  They need to just change it to 
"Unfortunately, Google Play services now suck".  You may wonder why... 
well the new update is loaded with tracking BS to sell to advertisers.  
Of course Google sold their soul to the devil with Google adwords but 
that is another topic.  Looks like Microsoft is going to be in business 
for quite a while.  The Google idiots had a chance and instead of 
leaving the Andriod OS intact they decided to gut it and exploit it.... 
so bite it Google.</div>

Exactly and why does it do that... because 
Google has new BS in there updates to track and sell to advertisers.  
They are determined to make sure that we all stay with Microsoft until a
 legitimate company comes along that does not employee a bunch of 
freaking idiots.</div>

Google & Samsung do not seem to realise 
that some applications on Android can be battery draining applications, 
and so glad i turned off my updates from the Play Store, some 
applications you never use but are on your phone you should be allowed 
to uninstall it or disable it to help your battery last longer, why some
 applications do not offer the Exit option is totally wrong on Android</div>

Just bought a galaxy s6 and been charged a 
fortune in my first month on data usage because of  automatic updates 
from google play.<br />when i went into settings(on google play) it appears that it is already on wifi updates only?<br />This
 can't be the case as i have seen updates outside of wifi on my phone. 
Maybe it automatically chooses this option because you have gone into 
that section.<br />i would have thought that play store automatically sets itself to wifi updates only anyway.<br />confused, i have choosen the no updates at all option.</div>

Kris, I appreciate the information & 
guidance you have provided. However, I have already I followed the steps
 you indicated previously to stop my android phone from. I have the 
galaxy s5. This morning I turned my phone off and I turned it back on 
& Google Chrome auto updated. I went into Google Chrome deleted the 
update. When I shut the phone off and turned it back on it updated 
again. Do you know if there is any way just stop Google Chrome from auto
 updating. Thank you</div>

                      Backups are indispensable. Whether it's a 
backup of your Android smartphone, your photo albums or your laptop PC, 
backups come in at just the right moment to save the day. There is 
nothing worse than losing everything on your phone or computer and 
realizing you never backed anything up. So here are a few methods for 
making an Android backup.<br />

reason, you should keep your data backed up.<br />

Google backup</h2>
As
 you probably know, Google is more than willing to help keep all your 
apps and data safe. If you go into your phone's settings, you'll find a 
section called <em>Backup & Reset</em>. In here you'll find an 
option for backing up your data, including Wi-Fi passwords, preferences 
and app data. All of this will be tied to your Google account, which you
 can set to automatically restore when you re-install an app.<br />

App backup (for non-rooted phones)</h2>
There
 are plenty of useful backup solutions in the Play Store. Some for 
specific purposes like backing up your text messages and others for an 
all-in-one backup. <a href="http://www.androidpit.com/app/com.mdroidapps.easybackup" target="_top">Easy Backup & Restore</a> is a free app that lets you back up your contacts, call logs, text messages, calendars and bookmarks.<br />

</figure>Easy Backup doesn't back up your photos, music, videos or 
documents. These are very easy to back up yourself though using a USB 
cable and your computer: just locate the appropriate folders on your

    </a><strong>How to back up everything on Android with Easy Backup & Restore</strong><br />
<strong>1.</strong> Download Easy Backup on your Android device.<br />
<strong>2. </strong>When you launch the app, you'll be asked if you want to create a backup. Tap <em>Yes</em>.<br />
<strong>3.</strong>
 You'll then see a bunch of check boxes next to the things you can back 
up: SMS, MMS, call logs, calendar, bookmarks, dictionary and contacts. 
Make your selections and tap <em>OK</em>.<br />

</figure><strong>4.</strong> You'll be asked for a save location for your backup. Make your selection and tap it.<br />
<strong>5. </strong>If you select a cloud service you'll have to sign in. If you select SD card you'll have to confirm the directory.<br />
<figure>

</figure>Alternatively, you can choose another option like Gmail. To 
do this, you just need choose Gmail from the options and send your 
information there. Remember though that you may need to send your data 
in segments due to restrictions on volume.<br />
<strong>6.</strong> 
You'll then be asked to give the backup a file name. The date and time 
is the default. If you have multiple devices you might want to modify 
the file name to include the device you're backing up.<br />
<figure>

your data is being backed up. Once completed, you'll get a pop up window
 with a summary of what was backed up.<br />
<figure>

 </figcaption> 
</figure><strong>8.</strong> If your phone is rooted, you can also back up your apps and app data. If not, you can still tap on the <em>Apps Tools</em>
 tab in the main menu and create a backup of the APKs on your phone. 
APKs are like an .exe on a computer: it's the program or app package. If
 your Google settings are enabled to back up your app data and settings 
(outlined above) you can use this option to back up the apps themselves 
and Google's backup to save the settings and data in the apps.<br />
<strong>9. </strong>Just check the boxes next to the apps you want to save and hit <em>Backup </em>at the bottom.<br />
<figure>

 </figcaption> 
</figure><strong>10. </strong>When you want to restore your apps or data, just hit the <em>Restore </em>tab. You'll be prompted to set Easy backup as the default SMS app. You can change this back once your backup has been restored.<br />

<strong>13. </strong>You can check off the APKs you want to restore, then tap <em>Install </em>at the bottom.<br />
<strong>14. </strong>You'll then see the permissions screen for each app, like you would with any new app you install.<br />

App backup (for rooted phones)</h2>
If your phone is rooted then there is no better backup solution than <a href="http://www.androidpit.com/app/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup" target="_top">Titanium Backup</a>.
 Titanium Backup lets you back up absolutely everything on your phone. 
The complete backup can be restored at any time and you can set up 
scheduled backups so you have a regular snapshot of your Android phone's
 contents.<br />
<figure>

 </figcaption> 
</figure>Backups can be performed without even closing the apps 
you're currently using and they can be saved as flashable zips. Titanium
 also lets you transfer files between the SD card and your phone with 
the utmost ease.<br />

    </a><strong>How to back up everything on Android with Titanium Backup</strong><br />
<strong>1.</strong> Download the Titanium Backup app on your rooted Android.<br />
<strong>2.</strong> Start the app and grant it root privileges. You'll be asked to read some disclaimers and so on (this is a good idea).<br />
<figure>
 <img alt="AndroidPIT Titanium Backup superuser disclaimer" src="https://fscl01.fonpit.de/userfiles/4774964/image/AndroidPIT-Titanium-Backup-superuser-disclaimer-w628.jpg" />

</figure><strong>3.</strong> You need to have <a href="http://www.androidpit.com/how-to-enable-usb-debugging-on-any-android-device" target="_top">USB Debugging enabled</a> on your phone.<br />
<strong>4.</strong> In Titanium you'll see three tabs. One is an <em>Overview </em>tab with information on your device, the second is <em>Backup/Restore </em>where all the fun stuff takes place and the third is for scheduling regular backups.<br />
<strong>5. </strong>Go to the <em>Backup and Restore</em>
 tab. You'll see a list of your phone's contents along with icons that 
indicate whether or not they have been backed up. Triangular warning 
signs mean you have no backup and smiley faces are pretty self 
explanatory.<br />
<figure>

</figure><strong>6.</strong> If you want to back up your system data 
or apps, tap the little document with a check mark on it at the top. 
This will take you to the batch actions list.<br />
<strong>7.</strong> You can then tap <em>Run </em>next to whatever action you want completed. If you want to back up your apps, tap <em>Run </em>next to <em>Backup all User Apps</em> and if you want to back up your system data tap <em>Run </em>next to <em>Backup all System Data</em>.<br />

</figure><strong>8.</strong> Titanium will then go through the process of creating your backup. This may take a while.<br />
<strong>9.</strong> Once
 completed, your backup will be labeled with the date and saved. You can
 also create an update.zip file to be flashed through recovery if you 
like, or you can restore through Titanium itself.<br />
<strong>10.</strong> To restore in Titanium, just go to the <em>Batch Actions</em> screen again and scroll down. You'll see options under the <em>Restore </em>setting for the actions you completed earlier: in this case, <em>Restore all apps with data</em> and <em>Restore all system data.</em><br />

 some sections of it. Make your choices and tap the green check mark in 
the top right-hand corner.<br />

PC backup</h2>
<a href="http://www.androidpit.com/app/com.koushikdutta.backup" target="_top">Helium</a>
 is a great tool for creating a complete backup without root access. You
 install the Helium app on your phone, grab the desktop version as well 
and pair the two. Once you've made the connection, you can do 
Titanium-like backups without needing root access. You simply tell 
Helium which apps and data you want to back up and away it goes. The Pro
 version lets you schedule automatic backups and store your backups in 
the cloud.<br />

</figure><strong>How to backup Android with Helium</strong><br />
<strong>1.</strong> On your Android you'll see you have two tabs in Helium: <em>Backup and Restore</em> & <em>Sync</em>. The first tab lets you choose which apps you want to back up by placing a check mark next to them.<br />
<strong>2</strong>.
 If you want to save all your apps, swipe up from the bottom of the 
screen. You will see a summary of your backup choices as well as the 
option to <em>Select All</em>.<br />
<figure>
 <img alt="AndroidPIT Helium Backup app data only app backup" src="https://fscl01.fonpit.de/userfiles/4774964/image/AndroidPIT-Helium-Backup-app-data-only-app-backup-w628.jpg" /> 
 <figcaption>

 </figcaption> 
</figure><strong>3.</strong> You can choose to backup everything 
(apps and data) or just the data (which is faster). In the latter case, 
if you restore your backup at a later date you'll simply have to 
manually reinstall your apps. Note that there are some apps Helium can't
 back up. They are listed at the bottom.<br />
<strong>4. </strong>The slide up window is also where you hit the <em>Backup </em>button. When you hit <em>Backup </em>you will be asked where you want to save your backup: internal or external storage or a cloud service (Pro version only).<br />
<figure>

  Backup destinations include memory, external SD cards or cloud services. / © ANDROIDPIT
 </figcaption> 
</figure><strong>5.</strong> In the <em>Restore and Sync</em> tab you
 can connect a cloud service for storing and accessing your backups. You
 can also access saved backups on your internal memory or connect with 
your other devices.<br />
<strong>6.</strong> When you make your 
selection you may be prompted to ensure you have no password set for 
full backups, or to enter your device's PIN or password if you are 
encrypted. Once you've done this the backup will complete.<br />
<figure>

<figure>

 </figcaption> 
</figure><h2>
PC backup</h2>
If all of this sounds 
way too complicated, simply connect your Android phone to your PC with a
 USB cable, open a Windows Explorer window and navigate to your phone. 
Here you will see a bunch of folders including photos, videos, music and
 documents.<br />
<figure>

 <figcaption>

 </figcaption> 
</figure>Just go into each folder and copy/paste the stuff you want 
to save onto your computer for safekeeping. This is a pretty handy thing
 to do even if you have other backup solutions at hand, because there's 
no such thing as too many backups. But if you want to retrieve it at a 
later date then you'll need to get back on your PC.<br />
