Wow, I'm sorta surprised there's not a USCC-specific thread anywhere yet...unless I just missed it, like I could well have.
Oh well, just thought it'd be nice to have a thread here at XDA, especially since it's so hard to find much of anything about USCC-branded phones in general anyway.
As far as my experience so far, I can't report any real issues beyond the usual so-so signal strength that I've experienced on every US Cellular phone me or my wife have owned ever since moving to my current location in town (yet it was fine at our old house just a few blocks over!). In the six years or so I've had USC, I've never found their phones being notably loaded down in bloatware, and nor is this one, so that's nice I guess. I was hoping I'd find some unlikely, overlooked USCC-specific perk like an unlocked bootloader on their models, but I don't see that happenin'... siiigh.
As for the phone itself independent of US Cellular, eh, I'm no power user, I'm probably not the dude who should make too many hardware-based critiques because the thing's more than powerful enough to ably do anything I'll ever need a phone to do. I will say I briefly owned an S6 Edge (briefly being because it was stolen) and I can't say the S7 seems like a huge upgrade to me, not one worth full retail anyway, but obviously it's a damn nice phone anyhow. (...But I went from my stolen fancy S6E down to an old, cheap Motorola Razr M (aka Electrify M) for a little over a year before getting my S7E and I was, for the most part, totally satisfied with the Motorola's performance despite the huge discrepancy in horsepower, so what the hell do I know?)
So yeah, bring on your USCC-specific guides, thoughts, questions, complaints, opinions, etc etc!
