Any way to install Good Lock on this ? I really miss the transparent lock screen feature...

I downloaded the Good Lock APK, installed it, but it crashes when opened.

I guess they'll have to update it for compatibility with Nougat.

Otherwise, this Nougat beta is really solid ! Love it !

Is anyone able to get samsung pay to work in Australia? If I flash XSA csc would this let me use samsung pay or is it a firmware thing? I think the samsung pay thinks I'm in UK so it doesn't let me use samsung pay :( Am tempted to reflash with XSA but want to know if it'll work first as don't want to setup everything again for nothing hahahah

Anyone else having issues with delayed notifications with this beta?

Sometimes, I get notifications (e.g Whatsapp message) 5-10 minutes later if the phone is sitting idle.

(Settings: High performance, power saving is off and "Put unused apps to sleep" is also off)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tanivula:
I dirty flashed from XSA with home_CSC and Samsung pay is there. Unfortunately I'm in NZ and its not supported here so can't really test it for you?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] fabioporto:
Well, it's a good update, no doubt about it. But it's not perfect, of course, since it's a beta version. There are some force closes (Facebook, Samsung Music, S Health, etc), but they are manageable and haven't happened very often. Still, in my opinion, that new UI resembles IOS way too much. I thought Samsung had stopped trying to copy IOS a long time ago. Apparently, not. Well, the lack of a functioning Samsung Pay and the fact that there are no themes available yet (which doesn't help with that UI "problem" that I mentioned) made me roll back to stock (marshmallow). I guess I'll just wait a little longer for the official version.

---------- Post added at 07:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------

I don't think it's a problem related to New Zealand or Australia, specifically. I had Samsung Pay working just fine under Marshmallow, and it wasn't available for me on that new beta update too. By the way, I'm in Brazil. So I went back to stock Android 6.0.1.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nomaj:
Battery is bad =( this is not for daily driver... Got one hour more of SOT on MM. So... Downgraded ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] olafsand:
For me battery is better in 7.0. Get 6h sot. In 6.0 it was max 4h
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] NeoXTC:
Oh I thought it was the CSC that lets samsung pay works or not because I can get into samsung pay just it says coming soon. which I suspect it's detecting it's UK and UK haven't got samsung pay yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Silvers91:
For me battery in 7.0 is way better than Marshmallow, 22h on battery now with 1h SOT and 69% left (on 4G all the time, even overnight).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] takerhbk:
It seems mixed results on battery. I'm assuming that those with higher standby should get better battery due to doze on the go
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] fabioporto:
Well, that's what I thought too. But I didn't keep the CSC file from my previous system. One thing I know for sure is that Samsung Pay is widely accepted here in Brazil, probably as a consequence of the Olympic Games that took place here, earlier this year. If I'm not mistaken, that event launched the whole Samsung Pay system. They have some nice promos and I was getting used to that, so I decided to go back to a stable Marshmallow rom.

hi how are you i wanna confirm if this beta will work in the exynos model, because the snapdragon model is not available in my country. thanks for the response.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] KoRoZIV:
I installed this on my exynos and it's fine. Not worth the trouble but it's working with no major issues. Actually this is only for the exynos as far as I know, will not work on slowdragon.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] joserivero05:
thanks for your quick response, for what you are saying it's not worth taking the time to flash it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] KoRoZIV:
The MM is more stable and mature. Others have detailed better in this topic why it's not as good as MM. It's not as smooth for me, battery not as good, various other issues. This is to be expected from a beta, if you are curios and want to play with it it's fine, but as a daily driver it's not in my opinion.

It brings some cool features and a fresh look on the s7 but for me it's not worthy until it's finished.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kemby13:
Well, i have the complete oposite experience with this beta... For me it's way smoother than MM, not saying MM was too laggy or anything but this is noticeably smoother. MM is definitely more mature (ofcourse) but i haven't had any problems or crashes what so ever. I'm using all the apps i used with MM. Batery life is better for me. It's used to be amazing in MM too, but somehow it got worse in the past few months, why - i can't say. Maybe the updates did something, but not even factory reset helped me. I was getting 6+ hours of SOT in a full day before and recently it fell to 3.5-4h. Now with N i get 5h in 1 and a half days... Like i said, i know this is a beta, but for me it is really working great. Love the new UI, new options and customisations, so in my book it is quite worthy to try... I just hope that the final software will be even better :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sharingan:
On battery life i totally agree

After recent update i think mm is eating way tol much battery
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nexy33:
Sigh people moan about a beta yet here Samsung is giving us the chance to make some input into this one and get what we want and some people are still not happy. I guess we live in a world where some people will just complain regardless as it in their nature. But of course, it's not as developed as MM, its a beta but for a beta its a damn site better than mm was when it was launched. plus the fact a lot of apps in the Play store have not been updated to run on Nougat yet.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nixolar:
hey guys, i have been running the nougat beta for a couple of days now and wanted to share my thoughts.

i did a dirty odin flash - i flashed my 6.0.1 home_csc together with all the odin nougat files. the flashing process went flawlessly, everything booted perfectly fine. all my data was there, even the dark theme i used on MM was automatically applied on first boot. i didn't have to do a single thing or any changes.

since then i have noticed some good and some not so good things.

the good:

- performance is better.

- battery life is much better. Gsam battery stats is showing much higher sleep times. it now shows light and deep doze modes. light doze kicks in pretty quickly and at the end of the day i have more than 3-4 hours of light doze. deep doze is still difficult to attain during a normal day. deep doze times remain the same for me as they were in MM. light doze seems to have a good effect on battery life, though. definitely better battery life on nougat.

- the notifications and especially quick reply. love it.

- the fingerprint sensor is much much quicker and much much more accurate.

- i love the option of downscaling the display resolution, although i don't really use it that much. it's still a nice option to have.

- AOD supports third party notifications! that's cool, although i also rarely use it.

- blue light filter works perfectly. I set mine to kick in at 9pm and turn off at 7am. no complaints here.

- the dialer got a much needed redesign. seriously, this was the app that needed a redesign the most in MM. everything looks better now in nougat. calling people and receiving calls looks beautiful. clean animations and all. good job.

- the same goes for the sms app. it looks better now.

the not so good:

(edit:

- the camera quality has deteriorated.)

- the notifications are too big and somehow look clunky and clumsy, half-baked from a design standpoint. not that pretty.

- many options are buried deep in the settings menu. getting to some simple options takes many more taps then it should and previously did.

- i can't turn off pop-up notifications without turning off vibration and sound too. if i don't want an app to show pop-up notifications and take almost a third of the top of my display, then i have to make this app silent. which also means: the app's notifications trigger no sound or vibration. i've never liked the pop-up notifications and i miss the old notification ticker. i don't know why android went this way. they look awful on ios too. it's just generally a bad idea and i want to have the option to turn it off like i had on MM.

overall i am really happy with the nougat beta. it is stable.

i hope that my breakdown will help some of the readers of this thread decide whether they should make the jump to the nougat beta.

[MENTION=5926620]nixolar[/MENTION]

I agree with most of your cons and all the pros. One thing i noticed, a con you might call it, is when i put the phone in my pocket, somethimes the screen will turn on when i recieve a notification even though i have the option which disables that - turned on. I must say, i also did a dirty flash leaving all my apps, settings and themes intact... Which btw are working great, without any errors and fc's whatsoever... I also think the new notifications are an improvement but need some work to be even better functionally and asthetically. I'd wish that every app could somehow remember if i expanded the notification or collapsed it, so the next time i recieve a new one it would stay that way not thake a big portion of the screen... There are ofcourse other little things that can be improved, but this is beta afterall and it's up to us (testers) to send feedback so we can have better final firmware when it comes out. All in all i am satisfied with this beta, and i'm looking forward to the final android N.

Hi,

does anybody have problems with bluetooth on Nougat? With Android 6 I always was able to connect to my BMW e90. Now with the Nougat Beta, the S7 finds the BMW and I also can pair with a key. But unfortunnaly he din´t pair.

I already tried to reset my WIFI/bluetooth Connection, wiped the partition cache and also tried it in the safe Mode but nothing helped.

Everything else works very fine, but this would be a issue to go back to Android 6.

First impressions after morning flash. Used latest odin and flashed also CSC with reset, then restored data with smart switch

Battery life is impressive. 20 percent gone and 1 hour SOT so far with everything on. Wifi, data, bluetooth, location etc.

With MM I had max 3 hours sot, even lower with latest update...

No bugs for me so far. I had some FC with fb and messenger, but cleaning data 2-3 times from settings solved them

Looks better than MM and it seems faster. Every app is working as before.

I have a daily :)

Hi,

I'm new with Samsung: could you point me to the right direction on how do you do that?

1. Is it by doing a backup using "transfer via external storage" (using Smart Switch) before flashing N?

2. and then restore from that, after flashing?

3. does it backup and restore everything (accounts and apps? their data and settings)? Something like with TB?

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] JCBRR1:
Well, first off I'm no photographer, so don't expect any fancy description from me about the pics I took.

-The pics were taken using 2 stock S7's, one with stock MM, and the other with N Beta.

-Both phones have the Samsung sensor, so the pics should be comparable.

-Pics taken in auto mode. Same settings in both.

-The pics were taken off the same scene, each photo taken at a time so that the frame could be almost the same for both.

-Focus was locked on the same spot, in order to avoid AF from altering the pics.

My thoughts: the pic from the S7 w/ N Beta firmware losses details compared against the pic from the S7 MM. I've included a closeup to prove my point.

If you spot any other significant detail please share.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GenesMan:
First of all download Samsung Smart Switch for PC at Samsung website (Google it)

Them you install it and wait for it auto installs Samsung drivers

After that you open the Application in your PC and it will ask you to connect your S7. Do it, preferably using Samsung original USB cable, and it will detect your smartphone. Make sure it's unlocked and on your device allow the media transfer via USB

Then you can make a new backup that will be stored in your PC. In the Application Preferences you can choose whatever content the backup should include. In my case, I choose Everything for a Full Backup

After making the backup (it may take several minutes depending on the size of your apps, photos, music etc) you can proceed to flashing the Nougat firmware using ODIN and following the instructions at OP

Once you got your S7 ready to use, and at this point I assume you chose not to restore from Samsung Cloud or Google backup, you may open Smart Switch from your PC and choose to restore backup. Allow the restore on your device and sit back while Smart Switch restores everything back to your phone.

---------- Post added at 10:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 PM ----------

Did you use HDR? Note that the Camera App on stock MM is turned off by default while on N beta it's active.

That being said, seems like N beta over exposure the object thus losing contrast and "detail". Let's hope Samsung adjust it in the final release.

---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------

About the beta:

Installed following the instructions (BL + AP + CP + CSC) everything went fine. No surprises at flashing process

After setting up the device, I restored Smart Switch backup using PC and everything was restored fine.

I noticed that Samsung Pay is set to UK and says that it's not available for me yet. Maybe because the ROM is BTU version aimed at that market. I don't know if using the local CSC extracted from MM stock firmware method changes that. But the fact is that Samsung Pay is unusable for me at N beta.

For all wondering if the flash would trip KNOX flag bit I confirm that it doesn't. After flashing I used Phone INFO app and it says that the KNOX flag is still 0x0

Indeed the Fingerprint sensor is more accurate, although it fails sometimes if your finger is not covering all the sensor. But I noticed that upon registering the Fingerprint the wizard tell you to vary the position of your finger sideways maybe to register variations of it and later improve recognition.

Loved Nougat's mult-clippboard feature that allows you copy multiple contents and store it in clipboard and then choose what to paste.

Settings is way different from MM but in time you learn where find what you want.

Since my KNOX flag is still untouched, I could use S Health normally.
