Qualcomm Only support drivers for 2 years not Google's fault.. Nexus 6 is EOL 2 years is up. iPhone updates are bs after 1 year OS is sluggish Lags, Stutters, Bad battery etc etc. The only way to get latest updates fast on Android is Google devices. Yes that's how smartphones work new flagship every 12 months.. They still support for 1 year but flagship gets all the attention how they make money why release new s8 and only focus on s7? :confused: It will still get security updates and O just not as fast as the new flagship

Apple may update older iphones but do make the older iphones laggy , which is apples way to force a owner to buy a new phone , also remember iphones are dam expensive for what you get , the current state and policy of apple would make steve jobs turn in his grave , i own a soo laggy ipad 3 , least with android you can re flash an older rom if the latest makes your product slow and laggy , thats something the over priced iphone cant do.

This is not true (maybe it was in the past but not anymore). I have an iPad Air 2 that has recieved two major updates (iOS 9 and 10) and is currently on iOS 10.3. It is smooth as it's ever been. No issues whatsoever with slowdown here.

Don't answer to troll posts, no point. He seeks argument, nothing more. Have literally 30 iphones around me at work, including few for testing. They all are fast from the last 3 years. For the nexus 6 to say eol in xda (btw, google are so big+buy qc for pixels, that they can pressure qc to make the drivers. They also can workaround that with their dev power capacity. Excuses, excuses).... and defend the companies that it's ok to abandon 1y old flagship phone that cost two avarage salaries in whole east Europe and lots parts of the world... and still expensive in any other. I remeber back in the days when android based phones was a lot cheaper than iphone(my good old htc desire hd was a beast and twice cheaper than the iphone). Instead of iphone dropping the price, android phones upped it up to it's levels. While only apple care for it's older devices. Android is sell and forget. Have a great day! :) /offtopic

Android 7 s7e is far better in every possible way vs mm. The real rollout started, so it will arrive soon to all who still didn't get it.

True and I stated that. The last major update is bad, but the first 3 are not. Also I am talking stricktly about phones here. I remember in the past that you can flash older ios on an iphone. I know as I did it. Are you sure there in no unofficial way for ipad 3?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] liam_davenport:

The version number of android does not really matter as before i remember htc updating the system but did not update the version number , as long as the features are included then thats the main point , plus samsung is about to release the s8 line , last year the s6 was a version behind the s7 , its probably down to marketing , and the s7 line will get 7.1.1 after the s8 has been out a while. does seem strange that the s6 will also get the 7.0 with the same new touchwizz as they did not upgrade the s5 to s6 touchwizz .

I don't have problems with android as I am custom ROM/kernel/tweaked by me all the way from 2010. It's my hobby(to mess around with the system, tweak it on deep level and try different things) and my M8 is faster and smoother than the stock s7e.

My Father's S7 Edge was update to 7.0 but he's saying the world clock changed. Can someone elaborate on what's changed? He says he can't see weather anymore for the cities he selects.

I'm overseas and can't find any videos to get a clear picture of what was and what's changed with 7.0.

Any help would be appreciated because I don't know the Samsung UI well enough across the Pacific. I'm using a Sony phone now.

1 little tip I've found with Nougat which is pretty cool is being able to adjust the settings all from the *Quick Settings* options without having to leave the screen you are on, some of you may already know about this tip.

For example the flashlight brightness adjust can be done by the following:

All you have to do is pull down from the top of your display to toggle the Quick Settings options, then tap on the text entitled Torch (you must tap on the text instead of the icon). A slider with five different intensities will appear. Simply select the one you require.

You can do the same for Power Saving Mode, WiFi, Auto-Rotate, Blue Light Filter, Vibrate and others.

I hope this helps everyone and saves you all a bit of time*?

So no XEU, despite BTU being the very first receiver of Nougat. So we are in a strange situation where the UK was both the first and last country to get Nougat. Why? They are the same phone, same country, both unlocked. I don't see what game Samsung is playing here.

Even though I've already flashed to Nougat I'm angry as this shows that Samsung no longer cares about XEU devices. So I'll have to flash every single update that comes out from here on out because XEU looks like it's always going to be several months behind BTU. Ugh.

It's important to note that until 2017, XEU enjoyed updates simultaneously with BTU. Suddenly in 2017, XEU is forgotten.

Being an Android enthusiast who's excited about improvements Google makes to the OS can really be a chore sometimes...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dezborders:
I was in same situation as yourself (XEU) but the solution is easy and does not void your warranty

Download BTU and H3G firmware packages (i use Samfirm for speed)

Flash H3G package via Odin (wipes data)

Flash BTU package via Odin (wipes data)

Restore all apps from Google account during setup wizard

You now have a BTU S7/S7E with full OTA updates compatibility
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Broomfundel:
I am still on the XEU beta version of Nougat. I was a beta tester and we were promised to be the first updated. XEU was part of the beta and so should have been in the first batch updated. I have not flashed to BTU as I'm going OK on the last Beta still. The point is, technically there is no difference between BTU and XEU. So whatever the delay, its political and unfair to the end user.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] marley183rd:
This new 7.0 update is amazing. First phone I've ever owned and not root. "Only because I'm on t-mobile" but the sheer power is absolutely stunning. I won't lie though. The drop test results are total crap. My phone was a straight up heat pack before this update. Now i hardly feel it warm. Bringing me to believe samsung is about to relaunch the note. They figured out how to regulate the batteries i believe. Mines is cracked and now i feel cheated. Time for an insurance claim and update the new one to 7.0 asap. I just know they are gonna send me a refurbished lemon. If they do I'm going to sprint. Bottom line, the 7.0 update is magic to me. No more excessive battery drain, no more super hot phone, and the new U.I. updates look awesome

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] coto39:
VoLTE on BTU was the main topic of 3m posts already but no one seem to know how to search about it... Samsung explicitly said during the beta test that VoLTE won't work in roms with the BTU csc as is a setting that is carrier dependant. It worked only for the first N beta and then they disabled the support for said csc.

If you want to use VoLTE then you need to change your csc to one that has support for it (ex. the one from one of the carrier branded roms like the EE one for UK, or the csc of another country like DBT). Changing the csc factory resets your phone so make a backup.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] andiling:
[MENTION=4204787]coto39[/MENTION]: Thanks for update... however, I'm wondering why it works in other countries.

DBT is the unbranded version for Germany and VoLTE is there carrier dependant, too, yet it works.

[MENTION=2684559]dezborders[/MENTION]: There's no Nougat for EE yet (CSC EVR) thus you can just try to flash the BTU Nougat mixed with EVR-CSC Marshmallow.

(In theory, I don't know if VoLTE was included in the latest EE Rom)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dezborders:
Thanks ... just finished talking to EE tech support

They say their computers show my account provisioned for WiFi calling but that further down the account details the system shows "IMS over LTE not supported for customers device"

So is this because BTU Nougat does not currently support VoLTE (but another user on this forum says it works for him on EE / BTU Nougat)

Or is it because my S7E was originally on XEU and i switched to BTU CSC via Odin

I am willing to change (CSC) to EE firmware if required but only once EE release Nougat. (EE are the last of the main UK Networks still on MM)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] andiling:
That may be a question EE can answer best if you catch someone knowing this. My guess is that they check your IMEI (which is submitted while you log on their network) against a whitelist and make the feature available or not (since it seems they require handsets bought from them as per this link).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dezborders:
Thats possible (handset must be supplied by EE) however 1000s of customers in UK will have signed up for an EE contract S7/S7E via Carphone Warehouse ... who only supply BTU and XEU handsets in UK

The link ypu posted specifically talks aboit VoLTE not Wi-Fi calling and user [MENTION=426752]iridaki[/MENTION] said a few pages back that WiFi calling works ok for him on BTU and EE

[MENTION=426752]iridaki[/MENTION] can you clarify was your handset originally BTU XEU or EVR when new and did it come directly from EE or from an independent like CPW? Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] andiling:
I just checked the customer.xml of the Nougat XEU and BTU and VoiceoverWIFI is enabled in both for EE and EE/T-Mobile.
