Hello..so i have been testing this nougat beta pk4 (build number), its working great..but i noticed one thing different that effect me greatly.

So i usually play games and browsing at the same time (i play game that can be autoed, so while i let it play i usually browsing or watch video) when i try this nougat , i noticed everytime i click on browser window, my game got paused (or just stop/stuck in loading screen) until i press the game screen. Back when i was using marsmallow i can do both at the same time (scrolling down my browser while the game playing) anyone know if this issue will be fixed? Or can anyone try if this issue been fixed on the lastest nougat firmware?

I went through the same thing. I emailed beta support and they asked for my email address and IMEI number and what phone I was using, they renewed my subscription and all was good.

The only themes that work properly and don't cause MASSIVE errors are Samsung themes. Even then it still seems to be an issue sometimes. That's why we are locked out of the theme store on this latest update - if you are having issues DELETE all themes other than stock.

I was using Joy UI with a icon pak then went to another and randomly the Joy UI would reappear in ways even after a full reboot. Tons of FC's too

So this doesn't mean registration is open again, does it? I've gone back to stock PK1 too many times and been disappointed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] NXLTrauma25:
No. There has been advanced notice both times (launch in UK first and announcements later) and with the last opening I was seeing posts of people getting in close to 24 hours later. If you missed all that you should subscribe to this thread and check it often and maybe even stay on stock so you are ready if you can't Odin back for awhile. I highly doubt there will be another opening before the final release but who knows.

It's tough reading through those posts...so many are complete crap. Even the titles of several posts are misleading.

http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/direct-link-nougat-update-t3510467

It is possible to install the Verizon Beta on Tmobile 935T, and then ODIN the TMo latest PK1 CP modem module.

You will loose WiFi calling, but most other things work pretty good. I used it for a few weeks as my daily until the Samsung Beta program was re-opened for a brief time, so am on the TMo beta right now. The link below covers the process, but you would first have to ODIN the Verizon stock software, as the updates work off of that.

Battery drain is caused by Bluetooth and WiFi error. Band 12 fix is for cell data drop. 2 different issues. If your battery is draining turn both Bluetooth and WiFi on (even if nothing is connected) it will improve your battery. There is a glitch where when those are turned off they constantly come back on in the background and scan causing the battery drain.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Dr. Fed:
I must be getting old, I can't see much of a difference with how it looks. Maybe the battery percentage looks a little smoother on quad. I've been leaving it on 1080 because I thought battery would be better, but that's difficult to judge on a beta anyhow. Today my phone completely died in a matter of three hours while in my bag at work. After I plugged in and rebooted it showed Android System at 57%. Maybe because I played with Google Home last night, but who knows.

If you had searched you would realize this has been mentioned numerous times and has been proven to not work. People who somehow missed all the notices posted on here and the web for both beta openings should just relax and wait until the final build drops. If you want to try the first beta build there is the method using Verizon firmware that has been posted countless times. There is no way to get into the program or onto any build other than the first through the Verizon firmware procedure at this time and there likely never will be.

I'm not trying to be cruel here but it's getting tiring seeing people not even bothering to read or search within the last few days of posts for answers to their inquries. If I remember correctly there has been multiple times in this very thread where questions on how to disable band 12 or if there is a way to flash the beta for non-beta members were posted on the same page and within minutes to hours of another user posting the answer for the umpteenth time.

I've even seen some people take it to the Note7 pre-order thread level of "get a life", the thread where where they were calling warehouse workers at the location someone had tracked down as being where many of the phones were being kept a week before launch. With this beta I've seen posters calling Samsung to demand they get a beta invite and outright calling users of the beta selfish for not volunteering for more of the "theories" some people wanted tested to try and get a flashable copy of the beta for those that didn't get it.

Look at it in a positive way. At least you don't have to weed through the posts by kiddies on the Members App just to find the correct thread or question to post a response to. Nor do you have to deal with Band 12 headache ugh.

Again, not trying to be mean here or "elitist" as I mentioned 've seen some people call beta members, but we could probably shave off a bunch of pages on this thread just by taking out the repeat questions two to three posts below the repeated answer lol.

I found some more information out about the Nougat beta zips

"Block-based incremental OTA

This is the most common type of OTA on Android 6.0 and newer. Generally this type of OTA requires the /system, /vendor and /oem partitions to be completely unmodified stock - bit-by-bit exact copies. Even remounting these partitions in writable mode once may make this type of OTA unflashable. Stock boot image is usually required, stock recovery image is occasionally required."
