I've seen others say they froze this FWupgrade, but it seems not everyone has it (I don't).

I don't have that either.

I font have FWUpgrade either. I used root explorer to enter security file and renamed otaupdate.zip to otaupdate.bak

It's not a firmware update,just some applications.

Had updated those the first day i saw them . Meh. At least i know they updated it !
For the weather widget, it fixes the battery drain issue when you set it to use your location. That's all. Don't know what's up with the others because I don't use them.
I find that the Sony widgets are the cause of most of the ui lag and stutters so I use only weather, music, track I'd, and tools. The weather widget causes lag, don't notice lag anywhere else apart from sweeping either side of the screen that holds that widget. I still use it though lol

Security policy update

Does anyone know what this update is all about? Wouldn't want to update anything that might make it difficult for me to root my phone later.

Here can you read more about it

Received this notification for my note 4 as well today and I'm hesitant to install it.
I still haven't installed it.
I would not update until I see some benefit from it
Just checked my apps in the market to update and this is no longer listed.

Wth with Sammy

'N' icon in status bar!

I have disabled NFC and all Android Pay/Samsung Pay apps, and still the 'N' icon still appears every now and then, and it will only go away if I restart the phone.
I notice that after a night of charging that most times I wake up and see the icon. I can't remember another situation when it happens, but I'm not using wireless charging so it's not being used. Does anyone know why this icon appears after disabling NFC, and how I could prevent it from doing so?

Try flashing the optimization script from here to see if it fixes anything . No idea if it will and I don't have this issue so I don't know exactly what is causing it - but just download the "S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_V15.zip" and flash via FlashFire .

Did you try this? Go to the Application manager within the Application setting. Next click more to show system apps. Find IOTHiddenMenu and uninstall updates.

Yeah. I knew it could be disabled somehow, but didn't know the name of the app.
TiBackup saved my ass so many times.
still not happy with the phone, but I didn't have to pay full retail for it so its whatever. better than my last handset for sure tho.
