There are cases for the S7 Edge. The ones I've seen are pretty low profile. They basically cover the back and wrap up over the top and the bottom, leaving the sides clear. They also have screen protectors, but I've heard they're pretty tricky to get installed and wrap around the edges. I

It sounds to me as if one couldn't use the edge features if the device was in a case, as a case needs to cover the edges to hold it to the device, unless, of course, I could just totally not understand this. Keith -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com

I don't think it's stupid at all. Remember, I don't have an S7 Edge myself, so I'm just going by what I've read, what I've seen on lists and what my friends and relatives who have an S7 Edge have told me. The curved edges give you a bit more real estate in the same form factor. The S7 Edge

Christopher, can I ask a very stupid question? What is the difference between the run-of-the-mill Android and the Edge? Obviously it has to do with the edges of the phone, but what and what does it do? Thanks. reggie & Lex On Sep 8, 2016, at 7:46 PM, Christopher Chaltain

Hi there! I have had similar problems with my 6 s on a number of occasions and have been totally unable to get VoiceOver speaking again after it has suddenly turned off. When I have asked Siri to turn it ,ack on, he has said it is already on, so I then say "Turn Voice-over off", followed by a

I've read on different Android lists both that the edges of the S7 Edge are accessible and that they're not. The difference seems to be that people who state they're accessible tend to actually have an S7 Edge, whereas those who say they aren't accessible don't and are just repeating what

Well that's interesting, since I have read on the android list that the edge part is absolutely not accessible. I don't own one, so I'm only basing my statement on what I heard from others who supposedly do. Mary Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 8, 2016, at 10:55 AM, Robin

Hi Sieghard, I think the extra battery life, especially in the 6S versus the seven, it's kind of compelling. That might be enough to let me not use a battery case, which I find I have to do and have had to do ever since my first iPhone, a for S. The improved sound will be nice, but it wouldn't

Yes, the added volume is a big deal to me. I have a "small decibel" hearing loss and wear hearing aids and often find my phone just too low. I get an upgrade every year anyway. More space also. It is not necessary to run out to grab a 7, and if I do not do it there is no problem. However, last

Hi Sieghard, I think Apple had the deaf blind in mind when they released an adaptor to replace the 3.5 headphone jack. If a person with a hearing aid plugs it in with the adaptor, you would think that they would still be able to use it on the 7 right? Shawn Sent From My White MacBook Facebook

Hi Reggie, Which phone do you currently have? If it is a 6/6 Plus or earlier the upgrade is probably OK, if you have a 6S or 6S Plus there is little reason to do so unless maybe you have a hearing impairment where the extra volume they claim may make a difference. Of course if you use a

Siri was covered quite extensively in their June presentation. It's being opened up to third-party apps under certain tightly restricted conditions, so you will see some consequential changes. Jonathan Mosen Mosen Consulting Blindness technology eBooks, tutorials and training http://Mosen.org >
