I was wondering if anything was done special during the extraction.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
Downloaded the Update without installing it, rooted my phone, then pulled it from my phone.

There wasn't anything special done that I can think of
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] tjthecat:
You pulled it through adb, a file Explorer, or something else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
File explorer
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] tjthecat:
Any specific upload?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
Here's what I did.

1: Downloaded FX file explorer and the root add-on.

2: Downloaded the nougat beta and didn't install it

3:rooted my phone

4:went to I believe it was system/fota or data/fota

5:Copied the Update.zip to the root of my SDcard

That was for the first OTA.

To get the other ones I had to

1:restore to marshmallow with Odin

2:root

3:flash a package using flashfire that makes the phone think it's on nougat

4:download the next OTA and put it on SDcard again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Redflea:
It's poorly worded, then, the way it's written it reads as if you can turn off the alert/volume limit. I hope that it will do that when we get to the last release.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] kingoanklebreakn:
I thought so at first too, but if you notice, it doesn't mention anything about the system volume limit notification. This is to actually set a limit. It's stupid but I don't think it's going to gain functionality once the final comes out as it's doing what it's supposed to do already.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Redflea:
You're right, dammit. ;)

But I've also had BT volume limited even with the limiter turned off. Is it working for you, to at least not limit volume?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] kingoanklebreakn:
Yeah, it's working for me. I still get the default limit notification the very first time I try to go all the way up after a restart, but after that it lets me increase the volume. If I turn this on, it lets me set my own custom limit.

Getting some device timeouts while connected to my computer for file transfers. Seems to happen after anywhere from a few minutes to 15 minutes. Anyone else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] k1ska:
I've been using a wifi file explorer to transfer files so I haven't tried it. Will try shortly. (Don't know how I messed up such a simple sentence in original post, lol)

EDIT: I've tried about 5 transfers and they all froze on the 5th file (a picture from SD card)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
I just transferred 26 gb of stuff from sd card to computer and no problem at all. Also transfered 5 gb to internal storage and 10gb to sd from computer and all fine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] KjK89:
Hey [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] I noticed you posted a file called "NougatEchoeMods" in your Echoe threads that is supposed to work with Nougat. Does that mean it is for this Beta install? What kind of things will it change if I install it? I currently have beta Nougat installed (OTA 1 & 2) using the install method in this OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] mlin:
Cool, thanks for the responses. I'm getting some weird Ext SD issues in general so I'm going to do a factory reset and start from scratch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] k1ska:
Maybe it's something with different types of SD cards? I have a Samsung EVO 128GB and it stops at the fifth file every time. I'm not too bothered by it cause WiFi file transfer is much easier.

---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ----------

What type of issues are you getting? I started from scratch and still have the file transfer issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] mlin:
Third party apps aren't seeing my Ext SD.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] k1ska:
Don't think I'm being condescending when asking this but have you gone to Storage in Settings and unmounted it and remounted it? Just trying to cover the bases, lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] mlin:
Yeah, I've tried. I've also tried rebooting with and without the card, etc. Glad to hear it's not a common issue, means there is hope.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] LordGeek:
The only issue I have experienced so far with Beta 2 - If I'm connected to WiFi and need to disconnect .. turn off WiFi .. do what I need to do .. but when I go to re-enable WiFi, it will just sit there going .. on .. off .. on .. off .. on .. off .. on .. off .......

I have to restart the phone in order for it to turn back on and connect !

Other than that .. no issue with bluetooth .. no issues with any apps (I have many) :D

Just thought everyone should know!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Redflea:
Thanks for posting this info.

I assume "the app" above refers to the Galaxy Beta app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] chriskerper:
i think so... that was the only thing i could think of
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Redflea:
Yeah, as far as I can tell the Samsung Members app doesn't have a registration option like the Beta app does.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] kingoanklebreakn:
That problem happens in Marshmallow as well. It just started for a lot of people. Go into location settings and go to improve accuracy. Disable WiFi scanning and that will fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] FoxyDrew:
No I think you're just confused. Sprint didn't get their OTA early on their day, they got it early the next day. Meaning the Sprint OTA was actually a day late.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] gettinwicked:
Sprint people found the location of the update file: /data/fota/update.zip

They also said you need root to move it. They are uploading it now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] j3ffm1ll:
any verizon peeps getting the update yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] A_N_D_R_E:
Not yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Justinphxaz:
Nothing yet either. Hopefully it's today and not tomorrow morning.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] j3ffm1ll:
Agreed!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Justinphxaz:
I guess there still is a chance that even though I was able to register, I won't be selected and sent an OTA Nougat Beta too....but they made it sound like if you were able to register that you'd be in to get it, as they listed it as a first come first serve. But then it states that even if you register, they might select you. So I'm not totally sure I'm guaranteed an OTA beta. Guess I'll find out soon enough either way, later today or early tomorrow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
I'm wondering if VoLTE is going to work on the beta
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Arkangel2k4:
anyone have it yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] j3ffm1ll:
not here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Arkangel2k4:
should be any time now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
Not yet.

Roll out will probably be later tonight because it was the same way for sprint devices.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
Apparently someone was able to get into the beta just recently, so if anyone would like to try they may have opened more spots up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
Just received a large OTA. Guys i think its here!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] A_N_D_R_E:
Same here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] sosjadd:
If you guys can do an ADB PULL after installing the rom, it would be well appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Haz3:
It's here!!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] LordGeek:
Can someone provide the Verizon build # for this Nougat Beta ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] j3ffm1ll:
:D:D:D:D:D:D:DDownloading now!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
Can someone capture the OTA and post the zip will be encrypted and wont open but please post anyways it will be in data/fota folder on your phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
It's posted in this thread. I just found a bunch of apps that basically do the same as some of the echoe rom mods. So I modded all the apps to be accessed through the echoe control app. I'm currently working on a playstore rom. I have modded the pixel dialer app and some other google apps and along with package disabler pro. It will be like running my playstore rom. This will be posted soon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] KjK89:
You my friend, are a miracle worker. Thanks for all you do!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Redflea:
Sounds great! Looking forward to seeing it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
Just got an announcement from Samsung for the beta.

Here's a screenshot of the changelog
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] scubasteve101:
Yay for "brightness control added"! This has been killing me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Rich7591110:
I got the same notification except at the top of mine it says Sprint and T-Mobile not anything about Verizon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
Ahh i didn't notice that. Thanks for pointing that out to me.

Well hopefully soon we will be getting it then
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Rich7591110:
Yours looks different than mine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
If i go into the app and look at notices, it is the same one as yours.

I got a notification and it took me to a different page.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] cam1pbell:
I just want to say thanks for the beta work around updates . And the hard work you and all the community have put into the s7 edge. This is the closest thing to the note 7. I jumped ship for awhile and went with the LGV20 it was ok but there was so many things I didn't like so I gave it back and came back to the samsung. Thanks again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
Thanks :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] muppetmaster916:
[MENTION=3300792]Zimgir[/MENTION]24 thank you for taking the time to flash/reflash/reset/odin/update/fubar for our sake. If it's not too much to ask what is the status of beta 3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Redflea:
He always posts promptly as soon as he has something to say. :) No news means he doesn't have beta 3 yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
I haven't received an OTA for it yet.

According to the app only Sprint and T-Mobile currently have the Update
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Redflea:
Well said, it truly is very nice of him.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
I'm just happy to be a help to the community :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] k1ska:
And we're happy to have your help. I try to help some but I'm nowhere near as technically inclined when it comes to the nuances of Android. I'm trying tho!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] paulhauth25:
So when you guys get the update file do you get the file when your phone is factory reset or do you copy download it without factory reset. The main reason why I'm asking is because I had to factory reset my phone and there was a couple apps preinstalled that aren't factory that's why I'm asking this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] cam1pbell:
I noticed Bluetooth on Kodi isn't working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] cam1pbell:
Correction..... restarted phone and Bluetooth is working
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
What apps are they?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] paulhauth25:
Mobile strike and a couple other random apps that aren't installed from verizon or samsung
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
DTIgnite installed installed them.

Go to settings, applications, show system apps and then disable DTIgnite
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Enteriib:
Gear VR working yet with the new updates or still a no go?

Ent
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] bennero:
Still a No-Go
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] xdathekilljoy:
That's a big one for me. At this current time im not in as much need of most of my root features. But my buddy is about to borrow my note which including the work around root we have, the lower brightness in normal settings, and the lower grade Qualcomm audio chip in the S7 my note is a more pleasant vr experience.

Nope I wouldn't have either.

It's suck it up or wait it out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] paulhauth25:
I decided today that I wanted to go back to android 6 due to some glitches that were kinda agravating

---------- Post added at 03:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 AM ----------

Does anyone know when they are gonna open the second wave for the beta test program
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] mlin:
No idea when the next wave will open, i doubt anyone here will be able to answer that question. If I had to guess I would think they would open it up around the time they release a new build.

Regarding the glitches, what kinds of problems were you having? After doing a factory reset, i have found the nougat build to be as stable as 6.0.1 in my uses so far. I've been using it for a day so I haven't been able to test everything, but so far it has been quite stable and smooth.

Also, FWIW, I don't think being in the beta test program will offer a more stable, less glitchy experience... that's generally the nature of betas.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] paulhauth25:
The only reason why I want to become part of the beta is so when the updates are available for Verizon I can get it right away instead of waiting for someone to post it on here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] mlin:
Interesting. yet you don't seem interested in using the beta because its glitchy... best of luck nonetheless. I'd like to get on the official as well just so I have a direct line to samsung to report bugs and make suggestions but I'm grateful I even have the option to use the beta right now as its a marked improvement over MM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] paulhauth25:
The main reason why I want to be part of the beta program is so I can report the glitches that are happening
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Snakehn:
question, in MM the samsung stock keyboard is pretty buggy, many times when you mistype a word and touch the suggested one it adds the right one without deleting the wrong one, has this been fixed in this beta?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] k1ska:
Mind if I ask what kind of glitches you were having? I, so far, haven't had any major ones that made the phone unusable by any means but if there's glitches that can be reproduced then we might have something that someone can send a report about. Would make it easier to iron out the issues before release.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] paulhauth25:
The main one that was bothering me was WiFi would turn off when screen is off

---------- Post added at 05:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 AM ----------

Even though I had it set for always on
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] k1ska:
Hmm, that is odd, I haven't encountered that issue. Did you flash Nougat on a freshly wiped PH1? I'm trying to think of anything that might be conflicting with it but nothing comes to mind right now. I'll try to replicate it on my device but without more information that'll be tricky.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Legolus:
can you report that any car dock app that launches CAR MODE, you cannot answer a incoming phone call

thank you

s7 beta 2 clean install
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] redneckben:
I have run into only 2 bugs, first when using the awesome feature to type a reply in the notification pull down for messages it sends it but the notification just spins and doesn't say it sent, and second when in games or full screen videos in landscape I cannot swipe down to activate the notification panel. Other than that beta 2 is pretty solid.

can you backup carmode apk and send me a download link as a humble request from my side

anyone can download carmode from samsung store and backup that apk and send the link for me so i can download that apk as i wanted that apk

thankyou
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Rich7591110:
I wish they would release the Verizon firmware

I'll test it out later today and report back once I've done adequate testing :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] dan411:
beta program 2nd round coming soon for verizon?

S7e on nougat beta 2, not registered with beta program.

For a while, when I downloaded and installed Galaxy Beta Program apk, I was able to follow the registration process all the way to accepting the terms and conditions of registration, and then getting the "sorry maximum number of participants reached" message, as per usual. But today, when I opened the Galaxy Beta Program registration app, I got what I used to get before the first beta went live, just "server error, try again later". I'm assuming this means they've taken the server offline in prep for the next round of registration in the US? If so, good news! Just FYI
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Redflea:
I have seen that error numerous times over the past couple of weeks, so I don't think that indicates anything special, necessarily.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] dan411:
Ah okay, may be a red herring then. First time I'd seen it personally. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Legolus:
YES

any car dock app will BUT you must have the car mode portion of the app on, the part that makes the home button go back to the car app instead of the home screen
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] mlin:
I've gotten that message for awhile as well. However, it does seem that more spots were opened in the UK shortly after the release of beta 3 so it may be reasonable to assume the same will happen for Verizon. I guess it makes sense that as it gets more stable they're willing to have more testers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
Spots were opened yesterday for T-Mobile and Sprint so you guys might have a chance soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
I haven't been having that issue since I got the beta.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] raneubb:
As far as the server error currently showing, that is how I missed out on the bete the first round, it kept showing server error so I didn't check it for a few hours and then missed out, so now I'm having to check it all the time so I dont miss it again. This is a piss poor way to give good customers a chance to be included..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] dan411:
seriously
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] raneubb:
Seriously what? Did I word something wrong?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] dan411:
hahaha whoops. I use that expression all the time and forgot it can have different meanings. The way I use it is defined as "definitely. I strongly agree with you." Hope that clears that up, haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] branstonmorgan:
Nevermind
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] raneubb:
Sorry, I was thinking the seriously had a question mark behind it, never mind :)

I tried updating the 2nd OTA from the SD card but it failed saying this is for Verizon and I have the International Unlocked Galaxy S7 :(

When are we gonna get the update for the International version?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jstegeman:

Hey jrkruse,

First, thanks for all you do for the s7. You're keeping us afloat with all your work!

Second, curious to know what sort of modifications you needed to make to apps like pixel dialer, I have it running just off the stock apk. Was there additional functionality that I'm missing?

Installed by clicking on so I apk after download, but the app starts crashing after I enable permissions it requests, access to contacts, permission to dial numbers, etc.

Unusable for me so far.
