I have a huge problem right now as my mother gave me her phone, the Galaxy s7, and I formatted it with the menu where you have to turn off the device. When I turned it on, it had indeed formatted but now, it won't let me put in any accounts other than the one my mom had on it the day she bought it. The problem is that when I enter this account, my mother has the Note 8, she asks if she wants to replace the device. If she hits the "No" option, she stays in that state and she doesn't allow me to access it. I await your response and thank you very much.[/quote]

Leave it charging for a couple of hours without touching it. If when connecting to the charger, the screen does not turn on, the Micro usb connector may have been damaged. It is normal that they break, in the samsung store they are tired of repairing it.

It may be the battery or the charging hub if you can't open the phone, take it to a technician to test the components.

This morning I turned off the phone and when I went to turn it on 10 minutes later it hasn't turned on anymore. The lower buttons of the galaxy s7 edge do turn on as well as a blue light, but the screen is totally black. I have tried more than 50 times to do a soft reset using the combination of buttons and it does nothing.[/quote]
It seems that the screen has suffered some damage. blow, fall or wet. If it is under warranty, it is best to go to the SAT, samsung technical service.
NEITHER SOFT RESET NOR THE HARD WORKS

update
The last time that Android was updated, my Samsung grand prime cell phone started with some speed problems, especially in messages and opening certain Internet pages, when before the update that did not happen.
There will be another update soon because I'm starting to think that the device is definitely not as good as I thought or why update a system that just worked great and the current one leaves a lot to be desired!
Greetings. Excellent articles I always read them.
