The #Samsung #Galaxy #S7Edge is considered as the bigger brother of the regular S7 smartphone which was released last year. Both devices have similar specs although the S7 Edge has a bigger 5.5 inch display that curves around the edges. The bigger display of the phone also allows it to use a much larger 3600mAh battery which allows the phone to operate at a longer period of time before needing to be charged.

Solution: The first thing that you would want to do in this case is to confirm with your carrier first if you have an active mobile data subscription. Once this is confirmed it’s time to check some phone settings.
Make sure that the mobile data switch of the phone is on and that you are getting an LTE signal. You can check the network mode of the phone and make sure that it is set for the LTE network.
- Go to Settings
- Tap on Mobile Networks
- Tap Network Mode

You should also make sure that your phone is using the correct APN settings.

S7 Edge microSD Card Is Unsupported
Problem: my samsung card that came with my mobile a year ago is now saying it is unsupported. I try to format but it goes to 20% no further. have re booted done the soft reset using the method shown on this site, clearing ….cache….. taken the card out not marks etc. any ideas? thanks
Solution: What you will want to do in this case is to remove the microSD card from the phone then let your computer read it. You will need a card reader to do this. If the card can’t be read by your computer then it is most likely corrupted already in which case you will need to replace it with a new one. If however the card can be read then I suggest that you make a backup copy of its contents then format the card using in your computer. Use the FAT32 file system when doing the format. As soon as the format is done replace the microSD card back to your phone and check if it now works.

- From home, tap Apps
- Tap Settings
