I've got a weird issue with alarm and time based notifications being late. It started with my morning alarm always being a few minutes later than scheduled. Now it's happening with other apps as well.

I've ensured that the apps in question has not been optimized (makes no difference) but I still can't figure this out.

Anyone else facing this issue, any ideas what may be causing this?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
well I just installed that "Canadian" ROM and no, Samsung is not pushing updates. I still have the annoying Koodo app even after a clean installation. The phone was bought from costco.ca (full price) and I am now with Rogers.

Koodo was the first carrier I put a SIM in and even if the phone is unlocked (from a code sent by Samsung) its still considered a Koodo phone.

So that "Canadian" ROM from SamMobile doesnt change anything guys.

Can I root my S7 and keep the warranty? Will Knox give me problem?

What do you mean? I'm on 7.0
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ahageman84:
Software related warranty will be void as for physical damage you should be okay.

Knox will trip and there are specific steps to follow to root. Please search twrp sm-g930w8 for the instructions.

And the update we are talking about is the June 1st security/firmware update.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] K2silver:
I just had a chat with a Virgin Mobile rep about KNOX triggered devices, as I had just got S7 SM-G930W8. They will NOT be covered by warrenty even if it is a physical thing. (I know right?)

Anyone else confirm?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Prosis:
Honestly, if you go back to the store, chances are the person you'll be speaking to will have absolutely no idea what Knox is and won't check nor would know how to check that. I'm surprised the rep you spoke to even knew about Knox (did you have to explain it?)

I'm not in any way suggesting you should try to get your warranty honored if Knox is tripped though. When we flash stuff, we're supposed to know what the consequences are. I'm just saying that, from my experience, customer service reps for carriers are usually clueless on these kind of specifics.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rymcbc:
Ok, so at my wits end and have spent 2 days trying everything I can possibly think of. I have a G930W8 running stock software fully update till last month when I rooted and installed twrp and ran a S8 port for a while and all was wonderful. I recently decided to sell it and so jumped into twrp wiped and factory reset then flashed the newest stock ROM in Odin.

My issues are two fold. FRP lock was turned on and I turned it off for absolutely no reason I can think of now before I wiped but wasnt worried as it's locked to me. Main issue is now no matter which carrier firmware I try I get the stupid DM-Verity error and it won't let me boot into a rom to remove the frp. With frp lock in I can't flash anything but stock images of course and cannot even downgrade. This bootloader is killing me here! Can't find a way to do anything with it but load the Combination ROM I found for fixing IMEI issues with Odin. Which gives me a 6.0 stock recovery but the same stupid bootloader.

Please help with the bootloader from hell that won't leave my phone!!! TIA.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggyskunk:
If it was my phone - I'd Flash TWRP img.tar with Odin 3.12.3 - Boot into TWRP 3.1.1-0 and Format Data (It's not the same as Swipe - Factory Reset - Advanced in TWRP 3.1.1-0 - Manually Wipe System - Data and Caches) Flash SuperSU v2.82 which should take care of the dm verity issue - You could then sell your phone as a Stock TW device with a Custom Recovery & SuperSU - Anyone who buys it and knows anything about Android is going to know (or figure out) that the phone was already Rooted and Knox flag is tripped.

Anyway that's what I would do.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rymcbc:
Ya I'm quite familiar with frp unlocking as I do it as a service for several pawn shops locally. Unfortunately I cannot get past booting into recovery with my DM-Verity error to do any frp removal. If I could I would just remove it with my account as it's a from locked to me. I've used hijacker for removal with great success from DL mode in booloader but it also requires I boot into the OS to complete the removal and any changes I do, the booloader/ DM Verity undoes on first boot after DL mode activity of any sort. I can't even boot into recovery right away without auto reboot checked in Odin. It even erases and rolls back any stock firmware I install with Odin, saying DM-Verity error on that first reboot. It always says installing android apps till at 30% then it stops says erasing for a minute and reboots into recovery. I cannot seem to satisfy the boodloaders need to get passed the DM-Verity.

---------- Post added at 02:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 AM ----------

It seems with the new(ish) DM-Verity rules and the frp lock on the phone is a brick. Which is hard to believe when it's just software. There is always a way in my experience. Individually these two issues are simple to fix. A simole root and my phone will pass by DM-Verity or if it would just boot into stock ROM I can log in and remove the frp lock and be free again but combined they are crippling.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggyskunk:
Did you also see this possible method?

http://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-factory-reset-protection-bypass-in-minutes-653308/

You probably have - but just in case.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rymcbc:
Sadly that loophole was closed awhile back. I think I might be better to try and find what exactly is tripping the DM-Verity and try to fix that if possible as all known to me ways of bypassing or removing frp require access to the booted ROM which if I have I can just log in and frp is gone. FRP is only a issues as far as it prevents me from flashing non stock binaries in the bootloader.

---------- Post added at 05:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------

It doesn't make sense that a stock ROM flash in Odin isn't replacing everything as new and there should be no Verity error, even after root it's well known that a stock ROM flash will relock the bootloader and loose root. So why is there the error to begin with after stock flash is my burning question.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jmcorlett:
What S8 port did you flash that caused the issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lobbster:
I recently purchased a new S7 G930W8 on Bell from Costco. I'm a long time Bell customer, my previous 2 phones were the OnePlus One and OnePlus X. I'm finding the cell antenna/reception on the S7 worse than the OP's - which is hard to believe.

I live south of Vancouver in Tsawwassen, very close to the US border. Both the Samsung and the OnePlus's are showing similar reception strength (not great -110dBm or worse - have a booster at my desk which helps, but not often enough for the S7), maybe 3 or 4db stronger for the OP's. In my house I have some tough spots, but the S7 is almost unusable. An easier test is going thru the Massey Tunnel the OP's might break up slightly but will not drop a call, the S7 cannot make it through the tunnel without dropping the call.

Does this sound normal, or maybe I have a bad sample? I've had to revert back to my OPX until I figure this out.

Well that depends on what else you have running in the Background... Some apps will be constantly trying to Refresh - It also can depend on the Signal Strength... If your device is struggling to get a better signal that will also affect your battery life... There's a multitude of factors that can affect your battery.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggyskunk:
Well in your original post - You said that you did a Factory Reset - And according to your post a Factory Reset didn't change anything for you... As for the other user it may just have been a coincidence.. But I'm not seeing any issues with reception on a Custom Rom AOKP and the latest Bootloader and Modem BQG4 - If you are not on BQG4 - You should update the Firmware version on your phone.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mediumsteak:
Thanks for the quick reply! Downgrading firmware to APK3 factory Marshmallow failed to resolve the issue, however I subsequently noticed that modem and bootloader were still BQG4. So I downgraded modem, bootloader and CSC as well.

As of right now it seems that getting out of Nougat modem/bootloader immediately resolved the connection issues. However now the system wants to auto update to Nougat without a manual way to stop it. I let it auto update once to BQB6 Nougat and it immediately broke the reception again.

Hence... I once again Odin'ed APK3 factory files. Now I am looking for alternatives to stop the auto-system update.

Really appreciate your input!!!

I'm looking to upgrade to the Note 8 so will probably give the S7 to either my wife or daughter. Neither are much into phone customization, etc - so decided to downgrade to Marshmallow to reset the phone and then let it OTA through all the updates to get back to latest release from Rogers.

Flashed 6.0 Rom through Odin, same as usual - have the APK3 - RWC CSC - version downloaded from Sammmobile. When it booted up, noticed that it has the XAC CSC. I booted into recovery, factory reset, then flashed again. Still XAC ? This package used to install the RWC CSC ?

Guessing that I'm doing something wrong ? I initially flashed with CSC_OYA, and have now tried both CSC_OYA and CSC_HOME.

Any help would be appreciated,

I need some help please.

I have an S7, was running M for the past year, rooted with TWRP and SuperSU, no problems. I wanted to upgrade to N the other day so i grabbed G930W8VLU2BQG4_G930W8OYA2BQG4_FMC from Sammobile, flashed only the AP file via ODIN and formatted the data on the phone. Worked great. So i flashed TWRP in order to get SuperSU put on the phone, worked great. Flashed SuperSU via TWRP and that is when the errors started.

First of all, as soon I rebooted the phone, the samsung keyboard was acting weird as ****, every time i clicked a letter it would type, then if i clicked another letter it would replace the 1st letter with the 2nd letter.... anyways got the phone booted up and downloaded gboard. Immediately i notice that the phone is acting laggy. If i tried to install apps it often gets hung up on downloading. Often when launching apps or new windows within apps, the phone application will freeze up. Tried to take a picture today and it just took black nothing pictures.

I'm also getting this stupid "Security Notice: Unauthorized actions have been detected. Restart your device to undo any unauthorized changes" Notice that i have never had before.

Baseband version is G930W8VLU1APD3
