I will be disappointed if that happens. Sony LG Motorola all have released nougat for their flagship.

Yes. This is the only flagship they have now. Imagine updating note 7 in January to nougat. With note 7 there is no excuse left to not do it in 2016 for s7. I'm pretty sure they will start rolling out nougat in 2016.

Hello, just a heads up!

This happens if you are rooted and want to open S-Health

Unable to open app

"Your device has been compromised. Because of a new security policy introduced in version 5.0, Knox is not available on compromised devices"

Anyone know a workaround for this?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mflow:
First Impression of the Nougat Beta Firmware

1. The Android System battery drain is still there, but not as bad as Marshmallow firmware after APC8.

2. Major UI overhaul (Notifications and Notification Drawer, Settings Menu is consolidated now), many new features (Display Resolution, Three Power Saving modes, new camera interface, etc)

3. UI is way smoother than 6.0, maybe it's just placebo.

4. Fingerprint! It is DEFINITELY MUCH FASTER than every 6.0.1 firmware, and i like the brand new fingerprint enrolment UI.

Overall, Good Job Samsung!

Aww :( Usually when I buy an Unlocked US version, I expect root and the latest custom ROMs awaiting me. While I love this phone, my first Samsung, I'm honestly almost tempted to sell it, buy another Oneplus One, and pocket the change.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] noob924:
Yeah, most roms either come out to the International variant, or the Snapdragon one. However, in your case you own the Snapdragon variant, which means that no roms at all are available for your model. Other variants that don't come from the US have the exynos chipset such as my Canadian model.

I have installed the first beta yesterday. So far so good! The only thing that bother me so far is the camera performances... especially the slow motion video quality is awful! Other minor bugs, but still an improvement from MM for me (my phone randomly stopped going into deep sleep on MM. Had to reboot almost every day or sometimes several times a day in order it goes in deep sleep normally again... really really annoying... So far I didn't experienced this issue with N)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GenesMan:
Latest beta (beta 4 - PL3) is way lot better than beta 3 in performance, but lack the stability found on latest Stable Marshmallow. Camera quality is still questionable and battery slightly worse than MM. In terms of design they are listening to beta testers feedback and adjusting UI, like the "Close All" button moved back to bottom and "Automatic" toggle in brightness control.

One thing that was said in this topic and I agree is the Samsung approach to "downgrade" system to deliver better battery, like using FHD resolution and lower CPU clocks by default.

Latest Beta

Hi how are you I was reading all the threads in this post and I see that many of you have the latest december beta, my question is how can I have access to it? Because every time I check is there a new software update it tells me that I'm up to date with the latest version and I'm currently in beta 1. Any help to get the latest beta will be much appreciated.

Friends, I'm from Russia, my English is, as you probably figured out, not very good. I read without problems, and write through a translator. I need your help to share the first OTA update for the latest beta. Need help step by step, and it is desirable that it does not take long, because the phone I use on a daily basis. Who will be in charge? Who can I throw off the logs, if not of my knowledge (and I do not know anything). In general, if you want, I am ready to help, I hope that the rollback will not lose the opportunity to be updated.

Topic read completely, with the last update could not be found in the logs a link to the update. Or maybe I'm not doing something? My KNOX 0x1..

You would need a custom Rom, but you seem to lack necessary knowledge. That's not bad, time to experiment and learn, but not if you rely on your phone.

What he is saying is that he's in the beta program, he wants someone to instruct him on how he can share the beta OTA files with us.

As in, something like downgrade to MM --> update to N beta --> capture the OTA files by proxy when he gets them --> upload them for us.

Does anyone have any simple but more in depth instructions for him on how this could be done?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:

Previous updates was on mondays .. so.... ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] N-way:
Regardless of how minor the changes are between 7.0 and 7.1.x, I doubt we will see any official 7.1.1 build from any vendor until Google actually releases the Android CTS (https://source.android.com/compatibility/cts/downloads.html) for 7.1

Samsung may build and release a 7.1.x beta but it will not release an official 7.1.x build until they can run the CTS so I think it's safe to assume that we will probably won't see the official release until the new year. (unless they already got the CTS from Google). However, it makes sense for Goolge to hold off releasing the CTS to AOSP and partners and leverage 7.1.1 to maximize Pixel / XL and Nexus devices sales during the holiday season.

In addition, it makes no sense for Samsung to release nougat mid-cycle of security patches.

My bet is that the earliest we will see an official nougat (7.1.1 or 7.1.0) firmware will be around the 2nd week of January and will include the January 2017 security patches from Google.

I just wish Samsung would adopt Microsoft's "Insiders" approach and start a permanent open program for enthusiasts to tests new builds and features. That limited beta is ridiculous.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] N-way:
I agree, carrier testing is inaccurate. Carriers get a specific build to pass through their certifications. Obviously if they have feedback it can get incorporated into other builds but more often, carrier builds are on a different timetable.

From what I read, Google will release Android 7.1 CTS in January and like I said before, it makes sense for Samsung to release 7.1 early 2017 with a sync to Google security patches cycle.

I'd be very happy if I'm wrong and we get a 7.1 release this year.. I just doubt it.

Long and pointless waiting? Sorry, but you obviously have no clue what you are talking about. Testing of any kind is never pointless. In my opinion, releasing the final firmware without an extensive teating and feedback would be pointless in the end. So, it's better to be patient for a bit longer and get a stable and fast firmware, than to get it first so you can (brag about it ofcourse) eventually find out it is a half baked product. By the way, i see no other OEM released final N except Google itself. Others are still testing beta firmwares just like Samsung...

Anyway

I got the update this morning. I notice some bug fixes and general performance improvements. Storage performance got a boost too, new animations through the UI, themes are available again... All in all, a very nice improvement. :good: Sammy
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] supercakefish:
The beta is too unpolished to go out in its current state. I would have loved them to have released the final stable release before the end of the year (and one would really expect them to seeing as they only have one flagship device family to cater to since the Note 7 blew up). Here's hoping they can keep their claim of giving us 7.1.1 as the final release version and also that it goes out to all in January.

The beta period officially ends at the end of December so I expect maybe one more beta version released after Christmas before it officially ends, then a few weeks wait before the final build is released at the end of January. Of course, they could always extend the beta into the new year, I wouldn't complain much. As long as they keep giving beta testers regular updates I'm satisfied. Though for everyone else's sake who's not in the beta I hope they get their butts into motion!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
4th Beta (As stated in their notes) facebook fix was not a beta release

And the more betas, the more stable and optimised the final will be, why would you want them to push out the final when the betas are not stable yet?

In order for the final to be 100% stable and optimised, the last beta they push needs to be near perfect, the final release is just a beta with a few more fixes and a different name

Sound like these guys who won't install beta graphics drivers, and only use WHQL drivers... breaking news, they are the same beta driver but signed

Do you know how many betas Microsoft push out for Windows 10 before releasing the final? A lot more than four

Flash back to MM and stop complaining, it's a beta program for a reason

Or sell the phone, buy one that already has the final Nougat

Personally I would be happy to see betas into January if it meant my phone would be running the best it possibly could, rather than skip QC and rush it out to make the impatient ones who don't seem to understand what beta testing is for, happy
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] supercakefish:
As long as S7 gets final stable Nougat before the S8 is announced then I'm happy (by that I mean a decent enough time gap to appreciate the new software, I don't just mean one day before S8 is officially announced!).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] takerhbk:
Stop comparing apples and oranges. Every major manufacturer has stable nougat out there. It is a fact that samsung has always failed to provide timely updates. Not that I didn't know that before buying but I have every right to be angry. You as a beta user might be happy but honestly you guys are acting selfish because had you been without beta you would be complaining too.
