Hmm, I just noticed that vibration isn't working after the update... Not for anything (notifications, button feedback, *#0*# test, etc). I did the update via smartswitch, not rooted, etc. Have tried toggling all vibration settings, changing sliders to minimum and maximum, rebooting, powering off.. Only thing left is to hard reset my device..

Maybe it's just coincidence and the motor died today.. Has anyone else noticed this?

EDIT: it seems for the first button press (SIM pin, or back/menu button) I get a weaker than normal vibration, then no more afterwards.. I did read that PDx versions seemed to make vibrations a little weaker on other variants of 935.. but not this behaviour..

This is Canadian thread, your device does not apply.

Just wanted to provide an update. Looks like the vibration motor just coincidentally died at the time of the update, or in and around.. I just didn't have any notifications, so it seemingly died then. It's not even doing the first vibrate any more.. Factory reset, via settings and recovery. Reflash via Odin.. Downgrade to PB7 via Odin.. Factory default again.. Upgrade to PD3 again.. Looks like it has to be sent in...

Damn that sucks. I updated to PD3 everything working good.

TELUS S7 Edge update now live

The firmware update for Telus S7 Edge (OTA) is live. Oddly, as I was installing it on both our phones, mine froze at 100% complete installing (on the blue update screen, not the updating app x of x green screen) I left it sit for a while but the animation kept going and the only thing that was happening is my phone was getting warmer. My wife's phone had no such problem.

I resolved the problem on my Edge by holding down volume and power and restarting the device. It restarted the install but went without a hitch.

Funny thing though, the first time my phone went to AOD, underneath the time and date was a large blue box that explained that if it was unwanted it could be disabled LOL. My wife's phone did not appear to do this, but oddly hers says it's connected as a media device (it's connected to the charger, but she uses a USB extension cable)

So far it seems to be working well, but too soon to fully evaluate ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] michael.koch03:
Bell is available OTA as well. Updated it this morning. Will see how it works.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] adsam3927:
Rogers OTA now available...but to be honest hearing about vibration not working ,sound problems and do NOT want already amazing battery life affected so will hold off til people have spent some time with PD3.

If all carriers are sending this out today...does this mean the update is coming from Samsung direct because usually carriers take their own time testing firmware and usually Rogers is last !! ( e.g Note 5 on Telus,Bell is already on MM but Rogers isn't due til Apr 27 )

I'm confident my issue is unrelated to the upgrade, especially as I'm the only person with the issue. It's ironic that it happened the same day, but my phone was on my wireless fast charge pad (Samsung) prior to the upgrade, so I wouldn't have noticed when it died.. It most likely stopped prior to the upgrade, and I only noticed afterwards..

After Telus APD3 update, AOD is dim and no longer moves around

To recap, my phone froze at 100% completion of the update install the first time. The animation kept going without a hitch but nothing was happening.

When I restarted my phone, it restarted applying the update and seemed to go without a hitch. After everything was said and done, the first time my phone went into always on display after the update, a fairly large blue box with a border appeared underneath the always on display, part of which said that if you did not want always on display, it could be disabled (it had never before or since done this).

Now when the AOD comes on, it's dimmed and does not appear to react to light at all, and it no longer changes position.

My wife's phone (also G935W8) had none of this happen, is APD3 and still works fine.

I've seen t-mobile and other users mentioning that there AOD also is motionless, but I've not seen anyone with a conclusive remedy.

I've tried changing styles and such to no avail.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] arcane613:
I just tried, and I don't see the same issue. Sorry, I can't record it right now to show you. I'm using Google Now launcher, but if I change to TouchWiz, it works fine there too. I can start switching between screens, and when I hold my finger or thumb to the screen it is perfectly still (even half way through switching desktop screens. I would guess this is hardware not software..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Mandeep148:
at google now launcher, its fine for me too, but some places like i shown in video or games like angry bird,etc
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] arcane613:
I worded my response partially wrong. I don't see the issue in TouchWiz home, when going to desktop overview like you did. I can see something in widget selection, but if I hold my finger completely still, not shifting the pressure even the slightest little bit, it doesn't happen. If the pressure changes and shifts ever so slightly it does move a bit, but then it stops once it's consistent again..

To me, it seems like it's ultra sensitive to touch. I can't duplicate this in any other app other than touchwiz, and again, I can only make it happen in widget selection if the pressure changes very little..

I don't have any games installed right now, as I just factory defaulted my device, and I'm sending it in for repair later today..

A small status update about my AOD issue

Turns out that my phone still reacts to lighting when AOD is on, it just does not change position as it used to.

Always on display version 1.1.19 which it says is the latest version. Oddly, each time my phone restarts, the green app optimizing part of the update comes back up briefly.

APD3 Always On Display saga continues...what I've tried so far...

Two Telus G935W8s my wife's and myself both updated to Telus APD3 and both now have the issue that the AOD never changes position, leaving a much higher possibility of burn in. Here is what I have tried on mine:

Wipe cache partition - no effect

Clear all app cache - no effect

Going into application manager for AODSERVICE and clearing is data - no effect. Going in again and clearing it's storage - no effect

I'm at a loss here. Initially my wife's seemed to be unaffected but when we got home this evening, hers no longer changes position either.

For now I'm disabling and hoping the next update(s) will resolve this. My battery life has been great all along so using AOD had been fine.

That's good to know..don't want to lose 7 hr SOT !

Will update today
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
If you had read some of my posts you see that I had issue with screen being too sensitive. This was solved by update.

But underlying cause for this was I believe, through testing with testing menu, that the lower part of the screen seems to have different sensitivity from the upper part.

If I pull the line starting from bottom, and pull ever so slowly up, I will see line zig zag, more than the top half, that has any waviness at all. No matter how slow I go.

Now mind you, my issue was much less than yours, and even though I stopped involuntarily clicking on links, the shakiness in browser was still present, and annoying when noticed.

So yes I replaced my phone, only to get another that has same issue. Which brings me to a conclusion that all or a lot of these screens have this issue, just some are more pronounced than others, some people notice it and some don't....

Note: the second phone did not exhibit tendency to click on links and adverts, even before update, unlike the first one, but underlying issue with ziggy zaggy, when in the testing menu, or scrolling in browser, as slow and as steady as possible will reveal fault.

None as noticeable as yours, as I said

I wonder if this actually on purpose? The movement makes me think a notification is coming in when it isn't. By stopping or slowing down movement it might be to avoid the perception of movement that you don't want. Less distraction?

Plus it could be a slow movement vs a full stop. Enough to avoid burn in perhaps?
