VZW = Evil Soap

At least you HAVE it - over in VZW land, they have a specific model (SM-G930V) - and they are stalling like so many Democratic Congresscritters (and we can't use the Vodaphone UK firmware, either). (Noy my S7; family member's S7 that was brought over for a screen-unlock). Because of such shenanigans, my going with Ye Olde GNex is looking more and more like a sensible move (especially since I took it to Tracfone and BYOP, and therefore can use VZW's network without being shackled to VZW support).

I Have G930FD model and I have not received the update yet and still stuck on December Security patches.

It is really shameful on Samsung that after 8 month from the announcement of Nougat their flagship device is still not running Nougat yet, where other mobile competitors are already having nougat long time ago.

Of course the usual replies will be that some of you guys will not like what I said and come saying what is wrong with waiting or buy a pixel etc...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonlad1:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sachilleas:
Still December security patch for Italian CSC and of course no Nougat.

Good job, keep up the good work Samsung. Nevermore Samsung phones.

I'm having a hard time adjusting to the new 7.0 with samsungs skin. I honestly don't know where all the praise comes from but the new UI is inconsistent as hell.

Different fonts are used all over the notification drawer. The material theme is no longer available in the theme store.

Each quicktoggle has a ugly line underneat it. Its all starting to make my eyes bleed.

Why the hell hasn't google made a theme engine yet. So OEMs can still give customers all their crap UI goodness, but customers can simply put on another theme or even disable the OEM theme.

It would make too much sense i guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SergioA:
It doesn’t seem such a tragedy to me, December security patch is no bad considering today is the 2nd of February...

If you are such in a hurry, just flash British Nougat with Odin and be happy!

It was the biggest mistake i did with this crappy S7 to go to Nougat. The battery was working over 40 days, since 2 days i have battery drains even i have just a few apps and no social and other crap with push, I STILL HAVE NO ROOT, so i can not check for wakelocks and can not investigate the battery drain. I'm close to throw the phone into the toilet..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SergioA:
No issues here with BTU Nougat (clean installation with Odin over ITV MM) battery even seems slightly improved over MM... Maybe a good factory reset can solve your problem?

before i factory reset i donate it to the god of toilet. It is frustrating, i'm not a phone-zombie. Don't want spend time with again and again do configuration bacasue "solution" is factory reset.

Sell your S7 and buy a hammer, go hit stuff instead
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] thorium666:
Keeping it on 6.0.1, with working root and >40h battery runtime would be the best solution. Here i have an "Android OS" drain (>30%, deep sleeps are rare, they were between 80-90% before this issue) and can not look inside because root is not working without data wipe. The phone was also working well over last weeks with N and no battery drain. I've installed nothing additionally, facebook & googe bloatware is disabled, then the phone just started to drain 2 days ago. This is just mess.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
Did you do the recommended "Reset App Preferences" from settings, and clear cache from recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] thorium666:
Yupp, cache partition is wiped twice with no result, about app preference - "Android OS" is not an app i can reset preferences and this is the top scorer...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kemby13:
Try to check if your battery actually degraded, i use this app (Accu Battery) and it seems i am left with only 2400-2500mAh after 1 year of usage. Drain your battery down to ~2-3%, start the app and charge it to full. You will see an estimate capacity after that. Seems like overcharging (80% and more) causes the most degrading over time...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sachilleas:
I thought premium price tag was connected to premium support, security patches every month and quick updates.

But no. The answer is let's just all flash with Odin because Samsung is unable to provide them.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SergioA:
Give them another two weeks and let's see. Other manufacturers have similar problems with their updates to Nougat, only real solution is stay with Google own phones, but this time they are too expensive for me...

So, i'm really close to destroy the phone. "Android OS" is at 48%. Anybody any idea how to make the investigation without root ? I cant not be that i need to charge a phone with 5 apps twice a day (not really using it) where 2 days ago the battery was running >40h . This is the most messy phone i've ever had.

Did you make a clean reset after upgrading to Nougat?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] thorium666:
Hi,

if i would be willing to do a reset then i would already have root again on this phone and be able to investigate the "Android OS" drain. No, this is not the plan. Reset here - reset there - this is not a solution, just wasting of the resource time and the most heard "tip" you can get, quantity means not quality. The issue appeared spontaneously, where is the warranty it will not come back again after reset? Nice reset here - reset there rat race.. After Galaxy S3 this is the first Samsung i have since years, and the last one for next years., nice OLED i can get somewhere else also.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] danydeco:
Have you checked that Bluetooth, NFC, GPS (and the WiFi and Bluetooth GPS improvement) are turned off? Have you rebooted?

Without a factory reset or going back to MM I'm not seeing a solution for you mate :/

You can lower the screen and processor settings in Nougat also, it might help
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] thorium666:
Hi

all nfs, bt and gps are disabled, they were already disabled. I have rebooted multiple times. Display is already low, lowering CPU manually is just senseless, it should scale up and down automatically. Sorry, all this is very basic and already configured where it make sense and it is not touching the core problem - Android OS >50% drain..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] awojtas:
For those who want to rollback to MM, could you explain why this is? What is it about 7.0 that you don't like?

Might help those of us still on MM to know whether it is worth upgrading to Nougat yet or not. Cheers

Anyone know if Nougat will be available on a generic ROM for Snapdragon phones? I've got a G9300 from China, and really want to flash a new system on it. Runs pretty bad with a half-rooted gapps system that loves to flash gapp errors all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ciprigeorgiu:
If you don't want to reset then you complain in vain. Everyone knows that after such an update a reset is mandatory. If you consider that it's worth struggling with such problems then it's your choice but don't come here complaining. It;s the first rule in every custom rom thread: don't post bugs if you didn't make a clean install.

Sorry, this statement is an "alternative fact". Back to factory is not mandatory.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ciprigeorgiu:
it's an unwritten law but you you ever flashed roms before you should have known that. I know it's a hassle but on an S7 it shouldn't take long to reset and get all apps and data back especially using Samsung backup. but it;s your choice of course. For me resetting will be the first thing I''l do after I'll get that damn Nougat update.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] remosam:
resetting device is very important when you upgrade to a new android version as you had before
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] thorium666:
Maybe we have a different understanding. For me a reset is never a help, it is a "i have no clue" handling of an issue, you always get it also from cheap service hotlines which don't want to put effort into real help. It results in not understanding the issue and a closed circle when issue come back.

When i reset i have to configure many thing and to download GB of maps data. Additionally i loose the SD card integration as internal storage, which is not possible to enable anymore with 7 but it is still working when it was enabled under 6.

Also, i have a absolutely thin system, it is not fatten by apps, no social, no single app for every website in the internet, it was completely debloated (inclusive this social mess and unused google items). Currently i can not debloat so all mess is disabled. I can understand the need for factory reset for fatten devices managed by phone zombies :).

This device was working for days with nougat without drains, this has spontaneously started without any app/config additions, this means, that it can spontaneously start again also after wipe. So my idea is then better to wait till it is rootable without wipe, then make investigation why "Android OS" is trumping.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] palmmanpalm:
I would agree with this since I also did not reset when I flashed using the Thailand FD rom, I used it for 2 days without issues until I decided to do a reset. Now I can't get the usual LTE speed and data connection seems erratic. Restoring from samsung backup didn't help.

I guess the result differs for everyone, you just need to try and see which works for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] poli8:
It appears to be irrelevant. The issue was reported in multiple countries and from that exchange it is apparent that Samsung does all the modifications for the various operators as well as unlocked devices. The guys says that it should be available by the end of the week but he can't be sure since the firmware is being sent from korea.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] wegiwegi:
No you don't,

If you have Nougat and a microSD card slot, you can turn that external storage into integrated internal storage. Head to Setting > Storage & USB. At the bottom you'll see the SD card details, with the option to format and use as internal storage. You then get to manage and move content to this partition once done.

I am also experiencing this issue. I also noticed this in the Beta and reported it to Samsung but they obviously overlooked it. Just hope that they pick up on it soon and patch it. Restarting my phone every few hours is becoming tedious and if someone needs me in an emergency and hits my voicemail constantly then it completely defeats the point of having a mobile phone.

Battery life on Nougat

According to GSMArena, things aren't that great from MM to Nougat...

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s7_edge_battery_life_on_android_70-blog-23204.php

"We observed a significant drop in Wi-Fi browsing longevity, to the tune of 3 full hours"

"It's not a spectacular showing in video playback either, where the drop in endurance is a whopping 5 hours"

"On a more positive note, the 3G voice call endurance has been improved by an extra 1:45h."

Even selecting a lower resolution doesn't give any valuable help...

"We also tested if selecting a lower display resolution (a new feature introduced by Android 7 Nougat) would have a positive impact on the battery life. We compared the battery performance using the native 1440p setting as well as the lowest available setting of 720p.

The short answer is - the change in resolution didn’t affect any aspect of the battery life - not in our testing routine"
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
Maybe future updates will fix the battery life for things like WiFi and Video playback, but I never expected the resolution change to do anything

I hope at least that Samsung will restart rolling out Nougat update with February security patch.

Part of their flagship offer is the monthly security update. We are the beginning of February and still have 1st of December security patch.

Maybe this is why they are waiting until Friday (as stated by Samsung Turkey). To let them the time to implement the security patch that have been released yesterday. We will see!​

I really wonder why a phone works 2 days very nice, then it spontaniously starts draining and propably it will come back to normal operation tomorrow or in some days or when it wants. Maybe reset is the only way because nobody has an idea but then i prefer also to go away from Samsung again, just trouble with this device. Will look the next days for an alternative when i havce time. It is over 90% running 442MHz instead of deep sleeping.

Such a shame as up until Nougat XEU was treated equally to BTU. Now it has suddenly become 2nd class. My phone has been on unstable ZPLN beta 5 for over a month now. I didn't complain about the beta 5 build at the time as I didn't realise it would be two months before I was upgraded to the stable release. But there are bugs that are increasingly irritating me as Samsung are not fixing them due to the XEU neglect.

I can only hope that with this latest BTU update they can be confident enough to update XEU too.
