The battery life, is much worse. I'm going to reset my phone this weekend to do a clean install. I charge my phone eveynight and I'm usually left with about 85% at 10:26. I'm at 66% currently... I checked the battery usage in settings and nothing is seems to be using a lot of battery life. It's really strange but I'll update my post on Saturday or Sunday letting you know what the battery is like.

Hello,

I have been using this Custom ROM(Android N 7.0 based) since a while and no issues. Yesterday, we received Nougat 7.0 firmware for Canadian SM-G935W8. So, I installed on it and works fine.

After that I wanted to root my device and installed TWRP recovey for helo2lte. It installed fine but afterwards , my device unable to start up ..if keep saying "Verification failed"

RESET

device.

Please provide you assistance. Many thanks in advance.

So I've seen a couple mentions here and elsewhere that Telus has snuck their S7 Edge Nougat update out into the wild without any fanfare.

Has anyone actually received the OTA on a Telus S7 Edge?

Nothing yet for my Telus S7 Edge

May I ask how I can get Samsung Pay working? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] pappcam:
Acquire a specific CIBC credit card or move to the US.

The rollout of Samsung/Android pay in Canada has been pathetic and a joke.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ggagne:
Go to settings / language and select US English, and clear the cache for the google app, from application manager..

That's how I got it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TRoN_1:
Yes, a CIBC credit card is needed and you can sign up to get the app on CIBC's site. However, if your knox is 1 ,forget about it...until someone hacks the Samdicks Pay app.

What is the different between flashing: CSC_OYA vs. HOME_CSC_OYA for the Bell Nougat firmware?

Which CSC line I should choose to flash on a Telus S7E?

Anyone have a problem with the hotspot quick settings toggle going missing after updating to Nougat?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jark99:
Also have this issue, and the mobile data button is gone​ as well
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kwarwick:
I wonder if this is related to CSC in some way? I flashed with ODIN using the Home CSC file and I'm using an XAC unlocked S7 Edge.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Charrion:
Unfortunately, that article has nothing to back up the claim that Telus has released Nougat.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] canadoc01:
Am on Videotron. Flashed with Odin. By using home csc no data loss. Battery life today much better. Am at 50% battery now with 3 hours SOT and 14 stby.

Can't seem to get assistant despite all the tricks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] orlans21:
I did all of that. I even switched it back to english canada because it was currently being rolled out to canada and still nothing. How long did it take for your to update?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] phil.W:
were you using the betas for google and the play services apk? Just trying to figure out what I might be doing different that isn't getting me the assisstant back that I had when on MM :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] pappcam:
Yep. Seems like a weird toggle to remove. It's still there in the Connections settings but the toggle is definitely gone which has been there on every Canadian Galaxy phone I've had since the S3.

I have an unrooted S7E and I updated OTA with SaskTel so it's not because of any CSC mismatch or anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TheIgster:
nm
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] itzik_man:
Agree, this assertion is factually incorrect, Telus didn't released the Nougat for the S7E.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kwarwick:
Seems like other reported this with the Nougat betas. The wifi hotspot toggle was a feature I used many times a day for my Kenwood internet connected stereo in my car, so

I'm furiously searching for a solution to this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] unit68:
Flash csc oya and it'll load telus csc. I flashed that and got my Rogers can. I previously only flashed the ap and no can lol and we'll it was odd... I literally had no csc according to phone info app.. I've posted on the other Canadian thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jark99:
In relation to your Hotspot post. I've downloaded MacroDroid and made a macro that when enables Bluetooth connect to car stereo, launch Hotspot.

I then downloaded Button Mapper Pro, and set it so that when I long press Recent button, as I enter the car, the Macro described above auto fires. That way all I have to do in the car is touch one button and everything is done automatically.

You can also set it to turn off your mobile hotspot when it gets automatically disconnected from Bluetooth. Basically Bluetooth is the key to making this work, as everything fires off when it's connected

Hope his helps a bit! I use this method to connect my Android tablet in dash Navi I installed myself
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kwarwick:
Yes, it looks like it will help. Thank you!

Just did a quick test with another BT device. Created two macros... one to turn on the hotspot when the BT device connects and another to turn it back off when it disconnects. So far it works like a charm.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
One resets to factory, the other does not.

Always HOME. You can always reset later from phone or recovery.

Non-home is only to be used when you can't get to recovery, and phone is so corrupted that you have to use it and no other recourse.

Note, that in extreme case when csc is corrupted/unrecognized/not existing, and the non-home csc is used, the phone will always revert to XAC. Otherwise, it will factory reset, but keep your previous provider csc.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] saagar_mistry:
Best ROM?

Hey guys, any opinions on what has been your best ROM experience on Nougat? Dont really like marshmellow. I like 7.1.1 roms but bluetooth and call issues there.

Need a Rom that has best battery life plus no lag. LOL.

pLEASE Suggest Rom kernel combination for Nougat.

Thanks.

I tried rooting and succeed but lost WiFi connectivity.

I'm waiting for better support.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] MrHomebrew:
For me to install 7.0 update use the latest Odin version.

I used Ap file and CSC file that's it.

I am still to nervous to update the modem or bootloader lol.

Put your phone in download mode.

Install AP and CSC file using the latest Odin and your phone plugged in through USB.

It should succeed.

Wipe system partition or do a factory reset IT IS YOUR Choice which you do.

Let your phone restart and your good to go.

Enjoy Nougat on your S7 edge.

Hope this helps.

Instructional VIDEO soon for updating.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Aakash Kaushal:
Odin will wipe data,internal storage everythink..so its better to flash rom through twrp as it wont delete anythink and everythink is working!!!

Also its more safe than odin!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bmaltais:
So if I understand right with Odin no need to actually root the device. This will just be like re-installing a factory image. Therefore it should be possible to install Marshmallow if something goes wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] MrHomebrew:
Do have have a download link to that.

Think I do somewhere just not at home.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Aakash Kaushal:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ma678:
There is only one Home CSC file in the zipped firmware.

But do I need to use the home CSC of 6.0 or 7.0 ?? That's what I really wanted to say ...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ma678:
I flashed 7.0 Home CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dangerousrun:
And you are on Videotron network??

And Wich firmware ?? Belle, saskatel or rogers

I know the answer to this but still, want to confirm.

I am on Rogers, and I want to have VoLTE on my device since I am using MTA build. Do I need to change the CSC to RWC first prior updating to Nougat?

Thanks :)

So far I'm really enjoying N on the S7 Edge. Seems quite fast. Looks good. And battery life is indeed better. Seems to doze much better and not use anywhere near the amount of battery it did under M, when the phone is not in use. Overall, pretty pleased with the upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] finnmacool:
Google released Android O Developer preview today and we got Nougat this week. Seems legit, Canadian carriers. #fail
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] orlans21:
I've been keeping my resolution to 720P just to see how much battery I can get and to be honest i'm not even sure there is a difference in battery life compared to running in QHD. Do I have to a wait a few days for the phone to adjust like you would for factory resetting?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TheIgster:
It's not just Canadian carriers. The US carriers just released it as well. The whole Android echo system is messed up. Updates shouldn't take this long on any device and we should be getting security updates consistently. This is an Android fail, not just on the carriers.

It's the one thing Apple does right and so much better than Android.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
Blame samsung first, they had nougat beta since march of 2016. Just like they have O now they'll probably release it next march while the pixel phones will get it in aug/sept, takes them 6-7 months to inject touchwiz into aosp.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] itzik_man:
This has nothing to do with Android!

Google releases the new OS much faster then Apple, and apply it to their own braded phones within a short time!

It's Samsung at first that causes a long delays, as for the multitude of devices they produce, then another long delay with the carrier that put their own footprints layers on top of it.

You need to get away from a Samsung device to realized how fast you can get an android update...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] gd6noob:
I got the firmware off Sammobile. I also got the update through Smartswitch but I opted to flash via Odin.. looks and feels great..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Grafdude:
It is csc related. If you are rooted you can have the toggle back by adding ",MobileData" somewhere in the "others.xml" file. For some reason I think only Canadian carriers had the brilliant idea of removing the data toggle since they probably believe we shouldn't save the data. I find that to be outrageous considering the fact that the price of mobile/internet services in Canada are one of the highest, if not the highest in the developed world.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] slayer2333:
Folks, i am actually on fido and received the OTA notification about nougat. I see all over the place people talking about 'Good Battery' which is nice. But can you please share your observations in regards to battery life compared to MM ?

I don't care much about the new gimmicks introduced in nougat or the new UI, but IMHO what makes a cell phone is battery life before anything else :)

Please let me know.

P.S: My S7e is not rooted, and i am not planning to do it anytime soon (first android phone that i didn't feel the need to root).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TheIgster:
It's the Android echo system. Don't blame Samsung. It's all of the devices other than Nexus and now Pixel devices. If Google (Android) made brands/carriers issue updates in a timely fashion, they would. They do not. Since Google leaves it up to manufacturers and carriers, this is what happens and we get 2.8% of Android devices today (not all Samsung's obviously) on Android N. Only 2.8% as of right now on the latest release of Android. That's brutal. That's a problem from the top down. Blame Google and Android. Sorry, this is not a Samsung problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Vap0rX:
I would say there is definitely an improvement over MM. I am also on stock non rooted device for the first time. Make sure to wipe cache and data partition prior to flashing. With that being said I would prefer to flash it via ODIN as to OTA as that would give a fresh install of the OS on your phone and keep it clean without giving any errors.(I know it might not give errors over OTA) just my 2 cents.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] brianhill1980:
I'm hearing reports that people with CSC of XAC are getting the Nougat update. I'm on MM with my unlocked (bought directly from Samsung Store) S7 Edge and I've been checking for updates daily since Friday. Nothing. Says I'm on the current version. I have a Virgin Mobile sim in my phone if that makes any difference. Verified my CSC Code is XAC by using the Phone INFO *SAMSUNG* app. Any idea's why I'm not seeing the update?

* UPDATE * I Googled around and found this tutorial on how to manually download and update your phone from Samsung's servers. Worked like a charm. I'm on 7.0 now and the upgrade process went smoothly.

anyone have google assistant after swapping to nougat, had it as MM but its gone after changing csc to bell then back when it wiped the device? Or am I missing something?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyclops1055:
Change language in Samsung settings to English US, after awhile you should have assistant back
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] phil.W:
Unfortunately that hasn't worked for me. I'll be using Odin again to refresh right away
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyclops1055:
Did you restart your device after changing the language, it took a few hours after I restarted my device and got a Google update, updated and Google Assistant was back.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] phil.W:
I tried uninstalling the beta, clearing google and play services. clearing cache restarting, downgrading to a lower version etc etc etc. I've pretty much done everything but a hard reset, so I am hoping that simply re-odining might refresh while not wiping the device. (if I had root it would be much simpler of course by changing device ID but I want to keep my warranty since it ****ed me on my note 5 the only time where its ever been an issue warranty wise on a samsung product that they checked root status :eek: )
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
If the update is on the server then the phone should be able to download it once you check for updates manually, the edge xac update went live on the 20th.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] phil.W:
did a full wipe and eventually it came back. So there must have been something amiss with my csc changing perhaps

I can't seem to get wifi calling working on an unlocked S7 edge. It was reset to Fido (*#272...) and when I try to register, after the verification code, it says device not supported.

Not really liking the nougat update, i'm having apps crash that never crashed on 6.0. Some apps feel a bit sluggish, hate the new gallery app, battery life is same or a bit worse, still loose 10% overnight while the phone is in deep sleep.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dhorgas:
Reinstall those apps. I had the same issue and I reinstalled all of these apps and the problems are gone. The annoying issue I found is that the phone refused go keep certain apps in memory. I like to have about 5-6 apps open all the time but the system keeps shutting them down. I can't figure it out. Must be the memory management doing it. Seems to have some issues as I could keep all these apps in memory before Nougat. The memory managed appears to me much to aggressive. Otherwise, ghe update is good for me. Much smoother than MM, and also battery life has been much better. It now easily beats my iPhone 7 Plus.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] orlans21:
