Sorry, I didn't want to come out that way. Either way I don't think it's ideal to flash a firmware of a variant/region that is going to have an update rollout that doesn't match my region's. I was trying to find if any of the EU updates contain it, because if none of them do, then I think I just found out something that it worth bashing them online for.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Norbzzz:
I contacted french after sales services and they told me that they deal and exclusivity for Orange. I was kinda outraged by this, since I buy my phones carrier free only to get the update faster. If this is true, we need to let Samsung know this is not OK on their facebook page and everywhere...

Hi,

with the rooted Nougat i wasn't able to enable 1st - device encryption (device was only rebooting but nothing has been encrypted) and 2nd - to encrypt the SD card (endless Preparing SD Card after password entry). Has anybody any idea what to do to get it working ? On 6.0.1 i had no issues with root and full encryption.

[MENTION=4088071]takerhbk[/MENTION] I think our discussion actually brought up a very ugly fact which I'm glad it did.

Upon further research I'm almost sure that the only region that gets VoLTE and VoWiFi for the unlocked Exynos variants of S7 is INS.

Not a single other.

OK I'm ****** off now.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] thorium666:
Flash this UK firmware, VoLTE & Wificall are both enabled and working.

Flashed BTU on my French unbranded S7 yesterday. Everything looking good so far, except poor network file transfer speed in SMB/CIFS over Wi-Fi (2-2,5 MB/s speed rate on 144Mbps network).

This issue was reported on various forums on Samsung devices. I'm sure this is a pure SMB issue because I tested other protocols like HTTP and NFS and transfer speed is OK. I'm also sure this is not limited to Windows share because my Gateway also has SMB file sharing and file transfer speed is slow here as well. I found on the Internet someone reporting the problem could be fixed by removing DHCP legacy support. I'm very doubtful about this "fix" since other protocols are working well. Anyway, this option doesn't exist anymore on Nougat, and switching to static IP address didn't change anything. Perhaps there is an encryption level issue ?

Was getting 5hrs + everyday on MM now barely hit 4hrs on full Wi-Fi and now 3hrs on 4g. AOD on.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dpworldwide:
Got the update today (T-Mobile USA but currently living in Slovakia), it downloaded successfully, then installed and immediately after installation, the phone shut off and now it's stuck on a permanent black screen with small blue text that flashes every couple seconds reading "recovery booting..."

It's been like this for 5 hours so I took to some forums for information. I tried to "force reboot" by holding the volume down button and the power button for 10 seconds. Nothing happened at all. Then I tried to boot the phone into "safe mode" by holding the power button and waiting for the logo screen which never showed up. Basically I can't get the "recovery booting..." text to go away and no matter what I try nothing works.

Any of you have the same problem? Any advice on how to fix this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
Can you get into download mode?

Hold Volume Down & Home & Power until it reboots, maybe have to keep holding them until it reboots twice, and on the 2nd reboot hopefully will enter Download mode

Then use ODIN to flash the ROM

I really don't have a problem with countries far from Europe ... like Trinidad-Tobago. I am thinking at the markets.

To have nougat ready in Trinidad-Tobago before for example Germany, France, Sweden etc. it's a nonsense. It's more than that, it's idiotic.

I had HTC, Sony, talked about missed updates, problems with upgrading to different new OS.

But this ... from Samsung it's a disgrace, because they are selling good phones but also demaning high price. And at their price you can get Iphone that maybe lacks some features, but they handle their clients equally. Almost. Anyway, not like Samsung. This was my first and last Samsung phone (S7) and maybe android too. Disappointing.

Samsung has been disappointing. I understand the frustration, but why would you switch to iOS just to get away from Samsung? Its a totally different OS and ecosystem. I've tried going to iPhone and couldn't stand it because it's very different.

So, I had one OTA update since I am on Nougat 7.0 (BTU), it went well, updated, as I understood, some fixes were applied. Yesterday I tried to check for updates manually thru settings when I got message that my operating system has been modified in an unauthorised way.

Anyone had similar problem? It doesn't make sense since I had one OTA update after installing Nougat, could this be connected with Tmobile Croatia starting updates on Nougat since 26. February?

Samsung needs to stop churning out 70 phones per year and focus on updating their stupid phones.. I am really really disappointed by Samsung now. They are at least 6 months late than others when it comes to update and while the other phones have started to get 7.1.1, we are desperate to get 7.0. Not to mention all the other Samsung phones are still stuck on really really old monthly security updates and Marshmallow.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mukhtar.patel1:
Is it just me or someone else also finds recent apps screen very laggy in nougat.

The scrolling of recent app is very slow. It was ok with marshmallow. Samsung needs to stop messing up simple things like this.

Works fine for me also. It doesnt lag very much (as u mentioned in ur post). Only at times i noticed some stutter, but that too very rare. So far it is working fine for me. I have been using nougat for the last 3 days. I also factory reset my phone after nougat update.

I use Google contacts, Croatian language and alphabet. Wiping cache doesn't help.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GregX80:
For first time in more then 10 years I wanted to not mess up with my phone's software and wait for official update. No way I can stand it anymore. I mean, what the heck! It pretend to be a flagship, a premium device for a lot of money. I really don't have anything against Trinidad and Tobago (in spite of that I have no bloody idea where they are) but the way Samsung handles updates is just shocking. I'm sure about that 100 times (or more) people bought their premium phones in UK and we are still waiting with unbranded phone's to get sorted. What a joke. I have S7, my wife S7 edge and still nothing.

By the way I flashed BTU last night. Looks good but now SS says that my phone doesn't support initialization. Just great. That's what I wanted to avoid waiting for an update.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Crokas:
Exactly... I'm on btu, no problems at all. But csc still shows as xeu. So I'm thinking about instaling baltic firmware with odin again to stay original csc. And i guess factory reset is advised. So second time in one month.. hate that..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GregX80:
I just flashed all files and phone reset itself. I'm thinking about the same to be honest.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Crokas:
I hope you know that during odin flash you can use home_csc to avoid phone reset? But then again it is best to reset phone after upgrades...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GregX80:

Yesterday for the first time on nougat (in 3 to 4 days) i got a reboot. I m not sure what exactly happened. My phone was in my pocket, when i took it out i saw apps were restarting. When i saw phone's uptime, it was showing few mins there.

I upgraded to nougat few days back via ota. And also factory reset my phone after that. Not sure what happened there, but i ll observe it for next few days, if it happens again, i ll go for factory reset again.

And yeah for the last 36 hours, phone is running without any reboot or other issue.

I also never got any random reboot on MM. And not getting any white screen after (manual) reboot.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] supercakefish:
I'm almost certainly not buying the S8. I don't care that Nougat was 6 months after Google itself. What actually bothers me is the discrepancy between and within countries for unlocked devices (and how carrier locked phones are getting better update support than unlocked). When half UK unlocked phones were updated mid-January and we're now in mid-March and the other half are still waiting (bearing in mind that this is the same hardware, same country, same language, same carriers), you know something is not right with Samsung's update policy. This issue goes far beyond just being later than Google to release updates.

I've had the Romanian release (ROM which defaulted to the XEO CSC code) for about a day and a half , and then switched to the German release (DBT).

During this time I've noticed that the top battery drain comes from Android System, caused mainly by the Gear VR Service, in the DBT release. This wasn't the case for the ROM release.

Has anyone else noticed a similar behavior?

L.E.: the steps used to flash both roms:

1. wipe cache and data from recovery menu

2. flash via Odin

3. wipe cache and data from recovery menu

4. restore backup using SmartSwitch

No issues here with nougat only that the battery is slightly worse roughly getting 2 and half hours screen on time max. Now I'm never far from a charger so it's not a big deal but would still like to see 3plus SOT.
