Curious

So I am on my second S7 and have had the phone for months. Does anyone else feel like the phone is less than spectacular? There are so may issues that I have had with it from not being able to set my own notifications to just running poorly, slow, etc. I have had issues with the Wifi and other features. I sure hope the S8 is better.

Hey Kelley.. B.. here thanks for passing that Along.. I think with these Phones they Get so much thrown into them it's hard for them to Breath even though they have do have adequate Stuff in Processing on Board, It would be Nice to Get Rid of ALL of the Junk, And to a Certain level you Can, Maybe in Future phones we'll see less Headaches and More Happyness..

Happy Holidays to you and yours.. B33

KellyArens, we want this device to be spectacular for you on our network. Let's speed things up on that phone. Have you downloaded 3rd party applications to your device? Some applications can have serious negative effects on your device. Are you connected to Wi-Fi when you have issues with notifications?

Don't most people have 3rd party apps on their phone? That's the point of Android. That said I had the same apps on my last phone, Droid Turbo, and no issues. This phone just has a lot of glitches and goofy issues. For example, my WiFi cycles from off to on like 3 times every time I restart the phone. Nobody can tell me why and it's all turned off in settings. This is just one issue. Sometimes the screen is just unresponsive and the phone has to be restarted. Sometimes it just moves at the speed of molasses. Other days it runs great and I have no issues at all. It's inconsistent.

KellyArens, you have a very valid point. We want you to use that device to it's full potential. You may download any applications that you choose on your device. However, the application software can conflict with the device's software. Have you powered that phone off/on since these issues started? Have you updated the software on all of the applications that you've downloaded to your device in the Google Play market?

Let's resolve these issues on your device by tapping Settings>Backup and Reset>Reset Network Settings>Reset Settings. This will refresh your device on our network.

Next, you will need to clear the internet history on your device by tapping Chrome>Menu icon>Settings>Privacy>Clearing Browsing Data. Let us know if these steps improve the performance of your device.

It just stopped happening. I don't know why.
