VoLTE does not work...at least not for my provider.

Flashing my provider CSC (with a wipe also) does not apply (recovery still shows BTU) but strange enough it installs the provider bloatware and branding...

It used to work for the beta..

Just followed these steps (http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-galaxy-s7-edge-nougat-ota-update/) to go from XSG to BTU and worked flawlessly! Took a couple of tries to get Nougat to start downloading, but's going now.

EDIT: Side-note, I also read to make sure you do a data wipe/factory reset after installing, as it ensures that you get future OTA's pushed.

Hi guys I've a problem. I had Beta1 so I downgraded to MM with this firmware nG930FXXU1BPLB_G930FOXA1BPLB_BTU. Now I can't get the OTA update because Phone Info shows me that I've CSC ITV and not CSC OXA that I flashed. How can I solve?

My CSC on galaxy S 7 is XEU rather than BTU. Does this matter as far as getting Android 7 pushed out to my phone? Sorry if a dumb question but new to Samsung. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sudaltsov:
Same here . XEU. We have to wait... Not sure I want to switch to BTU yet, another chance to brick the phone instead of getting 7.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] voolandis:
Okay lads, so I fell in hype over this OTA.

I was originally on SEE, just downloaded latest BTU from updato (SM-G930F_1_20161216114600_coy58ah1ys_fac is the name of the downloaded file), flashed everything except HOME_CSC, rebooted and now downloading 7.0 update :D

HYPE HYPE!!

Ofc, full backup was made in SS
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] exodius9:
I've tried this but didn't work
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Richy101:
Ok. Not sure I can be bothered to change to BTU . I'll wait and see. Not even sure what the difference is between BTU and xeu. So much conflicting info doing a search. Even said xeu would be first for updates , but that is plainly wrong.

Thanks, this is working on my S7 CSC MBM T-Mobile MK, I instal BTU CSC without problem
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Magic_Knight:
BTU firmware is OXA, and OXA includes ITV so you first have to flash a NON-OXA firmware (eg. one from Brasil) and then the BTU firmware.

XEO to BTU

Hello, impossible form to go to CSC XEO to BTU. Anyway i unlock OEM in developpers menu and i flash with ODIN the last BTU firmware with CSC BTU and no HOME CSC but i'm still in XEO CSC... Anyone can help to force BTU CSC please ? My phone was from Poland

Factor reset

Factory reset
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] StereoSteo:
Does anybody find any difference in the battery life? I had mine set to optimised power and FHD which is default and had just over 3 hours SOT at 50%. That's with it doing updates and stuff too though and 9 hours of on time. I've factory reset it shortly after just to make sure it runs bug free and I'm just wondering what other users battery experience is like so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] RootNightmareX:
Does this medoth wipe EVERYTHING or only FACTORY RESET?

Just incase anyone was wondering. they havent pulled the update here as per media reports as of 19:00 plymouth uk.

unbranded btu with a ota update coming through at 1200mb .MAGIC!!!! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] fabrizioev:
Would that wipe anything or break anything related to Nougat? What modem should I use?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rasseru16:
Still no EE VoLTE even on the BTU Nougat, damn!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] iridaki:
I know, it's frustrating. I plan on flashing the EE update once available, so far all updates came 2 weeks after BTU on the dot, so fingers crossed. The whole factory reset is a pain but I may as well!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ruuu7:
Where can I get BTU 6.0.1? Or is OXA == BTU?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrThreeChains:
I just tried two different firmwares in ODIN... I followed this tutorial and i am still on my old DBT CSC
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] MozezzFG:
first download for example Brazilian firmware flash it with Odin and after firmware installation boot in download mode and then install UK firmware otherwise it won't work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheDKGunner:
You need to first change to a CSC from an entirely different region... I changed from NEE to some middle eastern CSC, and then to BTU... It's because your current firmware contains both DBT and BTU, and that won't work since even when flashing new firmware (that also contain both CSC's), phone will default to original one. Choosing an other region firmware solves it.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrThreeChains:
Thank you very much, i finally got it working now after flashing Brazil ZTO and then BTU. Update already downloading on my phone :p
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] stefyno:
It was simpler. After the flash of UK fw, when phone has booted (screen at google configuration etc...), reboot to recovery, do a full wipe and BTU CSC is applied! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] cocteau2x:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] iridaki:
They closed it because it was related to Nougat beta and there's already a thread for that.

As for the new update, hopefully it's the last beta or the beginning of the official rollout. We can only wait and see.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] N-way:
This thread is turning into an argument about whether manufacturers are cheating which is a moot point. I used the Apple example to illustrate just how moot it is.

Apple made boat-loads of money for its investors by telling customers what they should want.

As for surveys, I think the last US elections just proved what you can do with them :rolleyes:

The LG G5 has a removable battery and it's by far not a bad phone. Is it hugely popular? No. Seems like the 75% that wants removable batteries ( I guess that includes you ;)) has other priorities.

In any case, my original reply was meant to help people get an accurate benchmark result and explain some factors that may account for performance and user experience variances that a user

can control

. I also explained why even the most accurate benchmark is inaccurate by nature.

Do I think Samsung could have made the GS7 a much better device? Sure.

Personally, I'd want a more stock Android with faster updates, stop having a zillion CSC variants (which would allow me to get VoLTE and WiFi Calling anywhere), front facing stereo speakers, better fingerprint sensor (ultrasonic?), improve the screen-to-body ratio (get rid of the Samsung logo, switch to capacitive navigation buttons and sub-screen fingerprint sensor) to make the device less tall, USB type c connector (just so it's not directional), and more :fingers-crossed:.

Removable battery is not a huge thing for me. I have access to quickly charge my phone almost everywhere and I'm quite happy with the battery life on the GS7 to begin with.

Do I think Samsung intentionally made the GS7 in a way that would leave me wanting? No. Like I said, no device is perfect and every person has its own priorities and requirements.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] RiTCHiE007:
Yup, you are right on this. Rather then to make it faster after a update samsung is known for making the phone slower after newer software. I had this problem on my s2,s3 and s4! they do this so you gonna get a upgrade way faster but if this gonna be the same for the s7 then its over for me and ill stop buying samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dagrim1:
Seriously? First time I heard this and don't recognize it at all (and I owned just about all galaxy devices)....

At times an updated screwed some things up slowing stuff down, but in those cases (rare) a factory reset always fixed that... And now also with Nougat, no complaints at all here. Fast and fluid as hell..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] voolandis:
Aren't we drifting away from the topic?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayamgoreng:

all I know samsung usually don't update older device as much as other company.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mozXegX:
Totally. I'm waiting for someone to upload a zip or Odin file. :victory:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kage00:
Absolutely! For the moment I'd be happy with a credible screenshot of a finished nougat build, I still think it's a load of crap that samsung is rolling out a soak test of nougat, because no one has got this 'soak test' update yet. That, and the news that they are still doing beta updates in Asia makes me think that it's all lies. Someone probably faked that image of G935FXXU1DPLR and all the new sites are sharing the same fake news to get visitors to their websites...

I also think that samsung are scared after the 'exploding note' problem and they really want to make sure they release a functioning nougat build so they don't look stupid again, even if it means releasing nougat 15 years after all the other companies have released it (so that might be a slight exaggeration, but you get my point). The irony of that is that it would make them look stupid too, releasing it so slowly...

Come on samsung, get it together

Sony wanted to be the first company to release 7.1 nougat (apart from google) and they've done it, they've got my attention next time I'm looking to buy a new phone
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] heblu:
Suddenly Galaxy S7 does not feel like a premium device, isn't it?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Domino5:
I don't care about nougat untill Xposed framework will be available but it's disturbing a little that Samsung is so late with update I hope their developers spend that time to optimise it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] -Ric-:
It's funny how everyone is always dying for updates... even though they basically bring nothing new that we don't already have... Nougat for example. What does it bring that you don't already have? Double tap on recents Tô switch to the previous app...? Or the mulri-window that we've had for years?

If you're so desperate for updates, go and get a Nexus. Enjoy having to root just to have something as basic as a restart option on the power menu or a proper battery ℅ on the status bar.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] pglickenhaus:
Never understand why everyone demands updates. When everything works fine as is. What is the big deal? It's a phone............
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] takerhbk:
Everybody want updates because they were were told that they are buying a flagship so a flagship should be flagship in every aspect. Not just hardware.

Sure we have multi window but is only for few apps.

Doze on the go is missing.

Recent app switch is a small feature but he'll yeah we want that too.

There is also vulkan api support

Faster fingerprint reader and many more.

Does anyone know how to disable app drawer found in Samsung labs advanced features in MM? In Nougat I can't find any of Samsung labs features
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] StereoSteo:
I had a post asking about battery life on nougat but the next page came up so I guess nobody seen it. Anyway I'm really happy with the results so far compared to mm. Here are the screenshots. Settings are default FHD and optimised power.

Funny thing is this is only half the battery and it would usually be on 30 or less by now or even as low as 20 some days.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tymcbride:
I'm around the same in terms of SOT and power usage, and that's on WQHD (I tried FHD but it was too blurry for my taste). Sadly, Android System drained so much of my battery installing all of my apps and such that today wasn't a good day to judge how battery will be, but so far it's looking promising...as long as I can hit the 5.5 hours I used to get when I first got this phone, I'll consider it a win.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] StereoSteo:
I thought I was just imagining things that fonts looked blurry haha. I might try putting it back on WQHD next full charge and maybe even full performance mode to be honest. I think android system is what was causing battery drain but it isn't happening now.
