Tip 3: Using another USB cable

Often, the reason of a bad USB connection to your computer is the used USB cable. Mostly the USB cable that was included with your Samsung Galaxy S7 should work for the data exchange with the PC. If this does not work, try another USB cable.

Who has updated the Samsung Galaxy S6 to the new Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 and is a user of the fingerprint sensor for unlocking the lock screen, will now have the following peculiarity:

Then the Samsung Galaxy S6 restarts, the following message appears on the display:

"Enter PIN instead of using fingerprint recognition after restarting device to protect fingerprints"

This means that you cannot unlock the Samsung Galaxy S6 with the fingerprint. But you must enter the previously set pin. This phenomenon appears with Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 after each reboot of the device.

After the pin input the smartphone can be unlocked as usual by fingerprint. Now you may wonder whether you can disable this feature on the Samsung Galaxy S6?

The answer is "No".

Since it is a security feature, it is not possible to unlock the Samsung Galaxy S6 after a restart without the input of the pin or only by fingerprint. Perhaps this will be reversed in one of the next firmware updates, for the time being, however, it remains with this setting.

You know now why after a restart of the Samsung Galaxy S6 this cannot be unlocked by fingerprint, but only with a pin.

On the Samsung Galaxy S7 you currently cannot see at a glance, in which mobile network / provider the device is currently logged in. It would be useful if the network operator is displayed directly in the status bar of the Samsung Galaxy S7.

Exactly for this, there is a third-party app called "Phono" on the Google Play Store. With this app it is possible to display the network operator with which you are currently connected in the status bar as a symbol.

Especially when you change often between different network operators, because you live on a land border, this information is very useful. The "Phono" app can be downloaded free of charge on the Google Play Store:

• Link App Phono

If you do not want to install a new app, you can also view the information about the network operator in Android when you pull down the status bar once. The network operator is then displayed in a very small font on the lower edge of the display.

You now know how to easily view the currently connected network operator on the Samsung Galaxy S7.

If you want to store a lot of data on your Samsung Galaxy S7, such as pictures, videos, 4K movies, apps and other data, the 32 GB internal memory will quickly reach its limits.

Luckily, Samsung has now released a new memory card on the market. The Samsung Evo Plus memory card with 256 GB of memory. Yes You have read correctly: 256 GB memory as a Micro SD memory card. That's a lot, but that's not yet the best thing about the Samsung Evo Plus memory card.

The special feature of the memory card is the high write rate or read rate of the memory card. The Samsung Evo Plus memory card is one of the fastest Micro SD memory cards and is perfect for using in your Samsung Galaxy S7. Thus 12 hours in 4K film format can be stored, 33 hours of full HD video material or 55000 images.

The Samsung Evo Plus memory card 256 GB can be purchased for example, on Amazon.

Call waiting means that you receive notifications of new incoming calls during an ongoing call. You can activate this setting in the settings section of your Samsung Galaxy S7.

After the firmware update to the new Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 you can notice, for example, on the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, the Samsung Galaxy S5 etc. that the following message appears in the status bar:

"SD card for transferring photos and videos"

This message appears after each reboot, even if you registered the message and then wiped it from the status bar. Surely you ask yourself whether you can permanently disable this message.

Unfortunately, the answer is "No". In the latest Android firmware from Marshmallow, it is not possible to permanently disable the SD memory card notification. This means that this message always appears on your Android smartphone every time you restart.

With very high probability, however, this will be fixed in one of the next Android versions or updates. If this is the case, then we report to you on Solvemix about it.

It can happen on your Samsung Galaxy S7 that from now on the same error appears on the display: "Logging service stopped"

If you use the default e-mail app on the Samsung Galaxy S7, it can happen that an e-mail cannot be sent. This can have different causes, such as a weak Internet connection.

In any case, the e-mail will remain in the mail outbox until the synchronization process is triggered automatically again.

Usually, however, this takes too long and so you would like to send the e-mail manually from the mail outbox. How this works on the Samsung Galaxy S7 with the Android e-mail app, we explain this in our guide:
