I can't see difference between fhd and 2k on naked eye :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrDusan:
Well, at first I didn't know that FHD is the default resolution on nougat, but I saw that something was off when looking at text. Then I realised that I'm not on 2k. I mean, it's not a big difference, but it's there :)

What apps do you use most commonly? I'm on 31% now with 3h 25min SOT. So when I reach 19-20, it will be the almost the same as yours.

Is there a specific reason for not flashing 7.0 directly?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] hawkwind:
Looking at the stats from phone info I am still on xeu is that correct.

I flashed the csc and not home_csc in Odin and the download was from Sam mobile UK btu.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kris_l:
To get btu you have to flash firmware from different region first ex. New Zealand and then flash btu firmware again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] MozezzFG:
OXA CSC is for different countrys including United kingdom, Germany, and more. When nougat runs normally it doesent matter if phoneinfo shows oxa.

If you would have csc to btu you must flash non European firmware first e.g Brazilian from sammobile and after flashing Brazilian firmware flash UK btu firmware.

Why Samsung only released BTU yet?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] hawkwind:
Ok thank you it looks like I am starting from scratch again
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrDusan:
I upgraded my device the same day when 7.0 was released in UK, sammobile didn't have nougat firmware then. :)

U can download nougat directly from there now.

Hello, since I installed Nougat official BTU I cannot use mobile data anymore. WIFI works, calling and messaging also ok.

I have seen another message talking about it but lost it. I tried plane mode, restarting, changing 2G/3G/4G, nothing works :( Any idea?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nerobaxxy:
Hi. Am I the only one who was unpleasantly surprised that the secret codes doesn't work after nougat update? I just flashed via Odin the ROM BTU downloaded from Samfirmware website and used HOME_CSC. Is something that I can do? Or someone else encountered this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] wroenadinho:
I flashed btu and got the Nougat update straightaway. I've noticed its showing lte in the preferred networks instead of 4G. 4G does show in to corner though. I'd this correct?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] gerhard_wa:
4G and LTE are just two different abbreviations for the exact same thing. I have 4G on the display of the phone, but when I use Android Auto and the phone screen comes up on the display in my car it says LTE in the notification field. This may differ if you have switched CSC, as it probably is country specific.

Are they going to release Nougat to anyone else expect UK users. No new country added to update yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] slayer03:
I have the 930K, the Korean variant, it was updated 2 or 3 days ago.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] berbecverde:
This is a good question. I think it will not be a life changer for me, the Nougat update, but almost everyone else has released the Nougat update to their flagships.

HTC is rolling out the update to their other phones too, A9 for example.

Sony is releasing Nougat to the Z5 and Z5 premium, phones that are more than 1 year old phones, and not flagships anymore.

Lenovo, LG the same.

So Samsung is really slow with the updates. They are not able to update their flagships in a timely manner so it is better if we do not talk about the older generations.

I have the SM-930F unlocked variant in Europe and no update yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] thorium666:
Imho, the difference is not big, if i would know that i had so use it some time now without root i would just ignore nougat...

That Samsung slow is everybody knows, not only Phones, also their Laptops or SSDs where i till now not received an update for their 950pro SSD since i have it (1,5-2 years?)

Is anyone having problems with mobile data and connectivity? I was on Netherlands Marshmallow and made clean install on BTU to get OTA updates. I also wipe cache/factory reset through recovery as I installed Nougat.

When I turn WiFi OFF and turn mobile data ON, sometimes it takes 1min for mobile data to start working, sometimes 15 minutes, and sometimes in a second. Each time I had perfect coverage, so it's not provider signal related.

Modem related ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] cnadra:
below screenshots will install now :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jul84:
Same process for wipe and installation. I also have mobile data issues, it simply doesn't work for me (call/SMS/WIFI are ok).

Nobody answered when I asked so it remains a mystery to solve. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] RudaX:
Yes, it's also okay with calls/sms/Wifi, and mobile data also works for me sometimes, but sometimes it just won't turn on..

this is the problem when you don't wait for official update for your original csc

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] RudaX:
This is first time ever, I flashed other country csc and never had any kind of problems :)

[MENTION=7236964]MirceaForce[/MENTION] - if I was gonna wait for original Croatia firmware, it would be 4-5 months later, they are way to slow puting domestic version of firmware, and they are full of bloatware..

[MENTION=4088071]takerhbk[/MENTION] - I can use csc for Croatia from Marshmallow? So when flashing Nougat, just put Croatian CSC from Marshmallow in odin?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] MirceaForce:
unlocked version of s7 for Croatia to wait 4 months don't think so....

you may not encountered problems but others yes.....

I had an Orange Romania S7 and installed 7 from UK. Everything works just fine ...... Didn't kept the original CSC, i flashed the UK one. I'm not sure that will give me any problems in the future, but i can always flash a Romanian Orange Nougat when it will be released i guess.

Not really, I flashed from XEU to BTU and have 0 problems

Problems people are having with the Nougat update are bugs in Nougat, not because they changed CSC

Mobile data issue solved!

I found a solution to have mobile data again !! :) :good:

First, I tried changing the CSC file to the one of my country (Switzerland) by downloading and extracting it from the latest MM update. Not only did this wipe my phone, but it did not solve anything.

Then, I remember from a few years back that Android had the same issue and just reapplied the trick, which worked:

1) go into settings, connections, mobile networks.

2) go into Access Point Names and create a new profile, just add any random name and APN and tap save (no other parameters needed). That's it! It instantly resolved the issue and 4G is working again! :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DekkerP6:
I just got an update notification on an ATL version (Vodafone Spain)! Sadly nothing to download when I go to the settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jul84:
with above trick to make mobile data work, the BTU version works perfectly fine in Switzerland (AUT).

Στάλθηκε από το SM-G930F μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] RudaX:
Tried this method and still same. The profile you made, are you selecting it for use, or only made it and left it like that?

For CSC, if problems comes from wrong country csc, I suppose other problems would show related to mobile data/ calls / messaging; so guess waiting for first updates
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jul84:
The new profile was added and selected automatically once I saved it.

I tried many different firmwares with many different CSC, I never had any issue with calling/SMS/network.

As said above by another member, I think these issues are linked to Nougat 7.0 or the firmware, not the BTU CSC. If you think it's the CSC, you can also try flashing your country CSC from another firmware (this shouldn't be a problem).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] RudaX:
I found solution :) Your method didn't work for me so I tried something similar, your method and attempt got me this idea. I've installed configuration files from my provider in Croatia, MMS and WEB conf. files and as soon as I clicked Install on web configuration files, mobile data turned ON and now it's working like a charm :D

I suppose every provider has this option, you can request it by sms messages, on specific number and they reply with configuration files :D I hope this helps someone, if your method won't work, maybe my will :)

So glad we sorted this out, thank you for inspiring me :P
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrDusan:
Do you guys have issues on facebook and messenger apps?

Newest facebook update causes an issue where the app doesnt open from recents, it just crashes when tapped. Also sometimes it displays the "cannot connect right now" message when opened.

Messenger has some visual glitches and connection errors also.

I don't know how long it will take for 3rd party app makers to fix all these compatibility issues, so I'm thinking of going back to MM, hmmm...

Notification on lockscreen, better management and much more... What question is this? What we need update for?? Why don't you stay on Iphone 4 then? There's nothing new! It's just a phone :))

I recommend 4U also an Iphone 4, or a nokia 5100. It's a phone...

But 2 questions though:

Why did you buy this flagship ??

What a flagship means to you?

This is a definition of a flagship android device, yeah :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] N-way:
Wow...

Let's see - with Android 7.x you do get a restart option - no root needed for that.

Android 7.1 actually improved the UI responsiveness - something Samsung phones are traditionally terrible at (even after disablign animations)

Blue light filter and Launcher Shortcuts are great features

Better power management, data saver, better notifications organization.

Refreshed user experience (MM based TouchWiz looks outdated, as well as many of the MM Samsung Apps like dialer, camera, and calendar)

Overall your attitude is absurd. This is XDA Developers forum. Samsung is just a horrible platform for people who like the openness of Android..

Let's see what Samsung does software wise:

Voiding your warranty with the Knox eFuse just because you feel like rooting your device, trying a different ROM, or just don't want so much bloatware is quite annoying.

Having a zillion different regions and firmware which prevent you from getting advanced services such as VoLTE and WiFi Calling without flasing your device to the correct CSC.. and guess what, some regions are not updated with security updates on a timely basis.

So yeah, if the Pixel had a 64GB version, IP67/8, front facing stereo speakers, and cost $500-600 (for a 64GB) no doubt I would have gone with it. I'm pretty confident many people here feel the same.

Samsung makes the best hardware for phones. UFS storage, amazing processor, best in class screen, amazing camera, IP67, loud speaker etc.. - That's a true hardware flagship

Software-wise, Samsung has a long way to go.

Couldn't agree with you more !
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] morganio:
yeah weird, i'm a samsung fanboy that comes only when earth needs me :)

So you base your judgement of premium only on update frequency? Cause base on your old comment seems like that.

I base mine on others aspects, camera, cpu, gpu, construction, materials, touch and feel, expandable storage, software quality, and i could go on.. Yeah update are important but not as much as you say if u speak about PREMIUM quality, a lot of things comes before.

You just have to buy base on yout priority, Update > all > go nexus / pixel, simple as it seems.

It's just that today people needs to complain about something, if u think that sony or other brand are better only cause they got nougat 1 or 2 week earlier u can go buy a sony and just don't spam to the world that samsung dont make premium device anymore..it is just poor thinking.

in 2016 i change something like 5 devices, from s6 flat and edge to meizu pro 6 to new htc and now s7, and for what i think of premium this is the best phone ive owned past 10 month.. Every and i say EVERY phone got his problems, often bigger than update frequency. I've owned 3 nexus in the past + 2 oneplus so i can speak well about update frequency and modding in general.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] -Ric-:
It's the galaxy s7.. not the galaxy s or galaxy s2. after 7 versions of the line (+the note line) you should be 100% aware by now that Samsung couldn't care less about XDA and us, the enthusiasts of Android, if you know all that and still chose to buy the phone, like I did, the we knew what we were getting ourselves into right? As for your point about security updates, I've always got the latest security patches at no longer than 3 weeks after Google releases them. Is that super fast? No, but I won't shed any tears over it either. Also Knox doesn't void the warranty at all in Europe, not sure why it might or might not in other places as I've not read enough about it.

And wow, stock got a restart option?? Damn, that's cool, too bad it's 5 years late.

if... if.... if....... if.......

If it already costs that absurd price, I wonder how much it would cost if it had all those features.

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] N-way:
One thing some people don't seem to understand is the difference between complaining and customer feedback and engagement. Samsung seems to start getting it.. hence the beta program and changes made during the program.

I could complain about the body to screen ratio, the speaker location. the lack of USB type-c connector, etc.. This would be complaining because there's nothing Samsung can do to fix it in my GS7.

However, faster security updates, unified ROM worldwide, improved UI etc are well within its power to fix.

I actually had an GS2 had quite a lot of fun with it.. but that was back in the day when Samsung actually cared about developers and Android enthusiasts.

Remember, nobody is too big to fail.

I can't disagree with both of you on the updates issue. The GS7 is a flagship device and should run the latest OS from Google shortly after it's released. There are many benefits to these upgrades (even if they don't apply to you)

I am happy you are in a region that gets constant "timely" (3 weeks ????) security updates. In today's cyber security landscape I'd expect the flagship device to get security updates the same day it's out.

As for the warranty, the EU has very strict customer protection laws. Samsung has no choice but to abide by them. Anywhere else where the legislature does not implement such strict customer protection Samsung gets away with voiding the warranty on software modifications.

As for the Pixel vs the GS7 - I debated a lot and eventually got the GS7 just because I got it for almost half the cost of the Pixel.

As for the missing features, it's missing some things I'd want to see. I doubt the price point would have changed much if it was IP67/8 and had stereo speakers or a little more storage.

Google priced it as a premium device, to compete with the iPhone. and it copied Apple specifically by not having a 64GB variant so people would buy the 128GB one.

It's not about the if and if and if.. no device is perfect. You make the compromises you feel comfortable doing and sometimes you make the wrong compromise.

The GS7 is a fantastic device hardware wise but has a lot of room for improvement especially in the software department. I still have my Nexus 5 (now running 7.1.1 based RR 5.8.0) and believe it or not, I think it is superior to the GS7 in several aspects despite being ancient by today's standards. Just an example, I use "OK Google" a lot.. The N5 (even with stock MM) wipes the floor with the GS7 in responsiveness.

Personally, I can tell you I will most likely not stay with the GS7 for long (unlike the N5). For me, the nougat official update is the deciding factor (I am running the beta) because there are a number of things I'm not happy about. Nougat makes the phone bearable (using Nova launcher prime) with MM it felt sluggish and outdated. Just my personal experience.
