well let me start off by saying that I have read all of the threads from day one about the fluctuation issues but have never yet experienced it myself, until today.
I have never had the issue before but today when I woke up I turned on my phone after its charge, i have never turned it off during a charge before, and I am experiencing this problem now.
My question is, is it time to root and flash a new radio to the N1? I have put off rooting because I havent had a reason to yet.
Thanks in advance for the input.
Ps. i am not new to rooting so I aint scureedddd.
oopsieee wrong section, can a mod please move this to either General or Q&A!

I don't have an answer for ya, but I moved the thread
thanks for moving mindfrost, i had a brainfart lol.
anyone with input? i'd much appreciate it. The fluctuation is still going on but its not such a big deal because I am usually on wifi. Should I just wait for a new OTA from google?

I don't see how these things could in any way be related...Who is your carrier? You may want to contact them and see if they are having issues with a local tower or have a tower out so are now experiencing a weaker 3G signal and thus bouncing.
I am on T-Mobile, trust me I was just as confused. I know that turning off a device while charging "shouldn't" have anything to do with fluctuating signal thats the only thing I did.

have you tried another radio (software) version? what version are you using now?
i am on ere27
my radio is 4.03.00.21_2
he's on stock too...I only have this problem when holding the phone. Herd its normal.
I just started experiencing the 3g problem too. Didn't have this problem before. Completely stock (unrooted) with the OTA update. I thought it could just be the weather or some temporary maintenance but I've been experiencing it for about 3 days now.
Southern California area.
This better get fixed, I bought this phone the day it came out.
This is totally wierd, I have had no problems whatsoever signal wise with my nexus. Actually I have had a significant increase in quality and signal coming from a Mytouch3G. I have none of the problems at all that are described with signal, screen or anything. Got lucky I guess.
@pongalong - thats about the same time I have been experiencing the problem. Its def not the weather here because it has been beautiful the past week, highs in the 70's but in Feb we had a colossal snow storm which knocked power out and I had great signal then, its so odd.
@sinister - I didnt have any problems whatsoever until about two days ago.
Matter the towers are being worked on... one day my signal was horrid only the next day to find out the upgraded the towers where I live....
Tmobiles great here in portland oregon..
Went about 45 miles out of my area and the problem seemed to disappear (although it seemed to be around when I was indoors - probably just due to interference). Hopefully they're just doing some work in my area like mentioned above.
Any improvement or updates from the OP?
Hopefully T-Mo is almost ready for 21Mb/s.
It seems to have somewhat went away..it still fluctuates but only where I am below 2 bars of 3g. I'm getting used to just switching to 2g only in low 3g areas. Then I get full edge usually. Kinda weird but ill just wait for an update I guess.
My wife and I both received S7's on Verizon on release day. We moved over from Sprint so I don't know if Verizon does anything strange and different with their phones.
I've noticed that my phone reboots at night a few times a week. After a reboot I have to login via PIN rather than fingerprint, and that happens a few times a week in the morning. Last night exactly at 3am the phone lit up the room as it rebooted. I've not paid attention to whether my wife's phone does the same thing.
Is this rebooting normal?
Strange. Mine has never done that. If you debloated that may have something to do with it.

I don't see this behavior at all.

No random reboots here either.
Been a lot of fun over the years with various phones and various ROMs. Just wish I could do something for this phone.
It is good to see familiar faces here.
They rejected me as a themer because they didn't believe I themed my ROMs or they just werent good enough LoL

Mine also reboots several times a week.
Keep in mind a phone is like a computer. You should reboot every so often.
Maybe try factory reset. I don't have any random reboots.

business sense was good stuff lol those were the days! but yeah in line with this topic, my phone has only rebooted once and that was because my camera started freaking out for some reason. it's been good ever since, though. that camera thing has happened to me on my note 4 before as well, so it's probably just a Samsung thing.
either way, I've been good so far and I use package disabler pro and have disabled like 40 something packages.

I have a vzw GS6 and it never had that issue until i updated from 5.0.2 to 5.1.1. Since then it randomly reboots. Sometimes 0 times a day and at the most was 3. Its always random when it does it to. I only had pandora running and its done it all the way to 10 apps running and it reboot. I upgraded to 6.0.1 hoping it would resolve this but it still does it. Got to be on the software side.
I've only seen mine randomly reboot maybe 3 times in total. I didn't notice when it happened, but later on after since it asked me for my pin since the device was restarted etc. Wasn't sure if it was normal or not, maybe it's some spooky Samsung ghost magic going on to install some back-end security patches.

If your phone sits idle for a few hours it will ask you for your pin. The best way to verify it was a random reboot is to look for a gap in the battery graph. That sometimes work if it rebooted while charging though.

At least one of those times it was not idle for a few hours. Plus every morning, after being idle from 8 or so hours, it never asks me for a pin. I'm able to just unlock with my fingerprint and that's it.

Ghosts or random reboots? I'll enter my pin every morning if it means not dealing with random reboots. Anyway, the pin in the morning thing is due to trusted places being on and active. So it is normal.

I specifically have trusted places disabled for both of us because of children's little fingers.
She confirmed that she never has to provide a PIN in the morning. The only times have been when an update have rolled out, which she usually doesn't do until I nag her.
I'll update here if I figure out what is going on. I really really really don't want to factory reinstall, which is likely the first things Verizon will ask me to do.
My only random reboots happened during pairing BT with my avalon hybrid. It would work for a couple of minutes and then go crazy. I also have entune installed. Suspect entune as the culprit, but can't say for sure yet. The May update fixed several issues. No connection issues now, but there are so many variables it is hard to pin issues or the claimed fixes on one update.

Hopefully people can report receiving the update and any experiences. I just checked and it hasn't arrived in NC yet. Always good to get security updates even if they are not the latest (are they ever with VZN?).

Sure, I guess I misinterpreted the title of the thread 'New Update coming tomorrow 6th may' to mean it was to show up on 6-May. Still, no harm in checking and looking forward to hearing the experiences of users.

According to Android Police: "Verizon Is Rolling Out An OTA To The Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge Tomorrow, May 6".
This was posted on May 5.
So, unless my calendar is wrong, the update should be coming today.
Has anyone received the update? I tried and it says the phone is up to date, but still has the Feb security.
I just got it at 10:33am MDT (Utah). I'll report back tomorrow around the same time if I can.
I had HORRIBLE battery life with Wifi turned on (<10h total with maybe 2h screen on time), but I pay for 18GB plan so there wasn't really a need for wifi anyway and that helped my battery life tremendously.
I'll turn wifi on and report back tomorrow.
Have you tried Smart WiFi Toggler? It learns where and when you want to connect.
The update just became available in the KC market. Any reason not to take it?

Count me as surprised and wrong in my assumptions. Security patch level is 1-May. You read that right. I had to check twice to trust my eyes.

Yes, can't assess anything on the battery life yet.
The one odd thing I experienced was it copied the calendar icon from My Knox home screen to my normal home screen (left the one in My Knox fine). No idea what that was about but my deleting it might come back to bite me later - will report if it does.
Feels the same after update so far. What the heck is DT ignite? Safe to disable?

lol still doesn't fix what the tmo update fixed, with fixing the choppy video recording and fixing the android system battery drain? still doesn't fix the ****ty front facing camera focus issue and overblurring effect? no thanks.

took this update like a fool and wish i didnt!
now the verizon variant has the same damn problem with nova launcher double tap to sleep that every other variant has.
when you use double tap to sleep gesture, and wake it up, it won't let you unlock with your fingerprint anymore. it makes you use the damn pin or pattern too.
god i can't stand verizon and their **** updates
Hi,
i just received an OTA update:
V10b-Nov-25-2016
Changelog just stated that usability and functionality of the smartphone has been improved.
Has anybody else already received this? Did anybody notice changes?
Kind regards,
BrowsingMan
received, but nothing to report, works exactly as before
Just updated last night. Seems normal
Received it as well last night. There was a bit of instability for the first hour or so. Lagging etc and one automatic reboot, but I'm guessing that was just due to the OS system settling down.
This morning everything seems normal as before.
Any improvement in auto shots with the camera?

Same happened to me. I rebooted a few times which didn't fix it which got me worried, but by the morning it was fine.
I don't mean to derail the thread but is there any custom support for this phone model? I'm mainly only seeing support for the H918. I'd love to root once its available and safe but it seems like this is one of those odd models out that no one really cares about.

Can you guys check/time your fast charge using OEM cable and charger? It doesn't seem to work for me, ot at least not prior to the OTA update on every ocassion. I've had instability issues when the phone gets a little hot/warm, if left in direct sunlight for 15 minutes, etc. I'm going to thoroughly test this out before posting anjy reviews. So far, not impressed with the loudspeaker.
I also don't want to update the phone yet incase the "impending" root solution, if one comes about, happens to be software-version-specific, since we are dealing with a phone on a locked bootloader.

something i have noticed since the update is a huge improvement in reception... now almost all the time it's 4-5 bars for each sim, on lte and 3g, whereas before i used to pick up my phone and see only 1-2 bars... especially at home.
i must specify that i never had a problem calling or browsing even with 1-2 bars, never lost connection during a call, cristal clear voice. so maybe before it was simply showing less bars than it really was? anyway, just my feedback

Yep , received the update yesterday. No comment on the update work just like normal. ?
Hey guys.
I installed the LG PC Bridge and, among other things, I decided to check for a software update. It informed me one was available, which seemed odd, because I had checked yesterday O.T.A. and had found nothing.
Anyway, I disconnected the phone and checked again and true enough the 10b update was available (still found it weird that it said Nov. 25 though) at approx. 730MB, but I decided to reconnect and use Bridge to update.
I began the process and it said the download size was 2.9GB! That's a huge difference. O.T.A. still shows the update at 730MB. Does anyone know if there any differences??

i guess bridge is offering you the full package instead of the incremental update, but the outcome should be the same
Does anyone notice any difference?
Mine works great before and after update....
Everything looks really good...I think that the problem with keyboard is a little improved....I'm talking about next word suggestion...
Mine has just been updated to 10b as well. So far everything is working great but I've only just starting using the phone so I can't comment on what was fixed over the last release.
Phone is getting warm and battery drops quicker for me. Anyone has the same problem?
Also, please check your Data usage for Google Docs, Slides and Drive. i don't use it but it still has backgroud data running! Do u have same issue?
Just updated to v10d released December 26 Changelog says performance improvement and improvement to home. Screen but I haven't noticed any changed neither I'm speed nor in options
Did you receive the update via PC Bridge or OTA?
in SEA region, we're still stuck with V10c
I bought mine in Philippines, and since the middle of December (more or less) I am with the 10e version, and still trying to realize how many other versions LG needs to release for the phone have a good usability.
Same for the LG G5, that is in the first Nougat version and it's in the box (both).

i got it via OTA and i went straight from v10b to v10d i didnt receive any update for v10c
I received the OTA update V10F-IND-xx about a week ago. Talked about performance improvement. Post the update the battery performance has gone to hell. It would easily pump out about 6 hours SOT which has now dropped to about 4 hours. Also, have noticed slight to medium heating under the power key when using apps that access data over wifi.Unrooted. Anyone know if it's possible to roll back the update without rooting? OR any quick fix to this problem.

Apparently only a security fix though it appears newer than the 1AQEB rolling out in Europe and other places. No apparent Bluetooth fix, though my very, very brief range test with the S3 Classic worked. I did not get disconnected until I was about 25-30 feet away. More testing is required of course. The patch seems light in size compared to the 1AQEB, with 1AQEJ coming in at approximately 270MB VS. 670MB for the 1AQEB. Only visible difference is that I am now on May 1st, 2017 security patch.
Interesting.

You can download and flash this to any Canadian variant of S8/S8+. They are all exactly the same phones.

Did you buy your device direct from Samsung, full retail, or subsidized? As for where to grab it, I suppose I could download the latest firmware for my device and upload it somewhere or alternatively you can look for somebody posting it here on XDA or Sammobile.

I received it as well this morning, I'm on Virgin Mobile
Not available on Rogers yet.
I have massive battery drain all of a sudden. Google Play Services are keeping the device awake all the time. Nothing changed since yesterday except the new update. Cleared the cache a few minutes ago. Have to see if there is any impact.
Got this OTA update on my Bell S8+ this morning. Since i got the update Im having issues on screen sensitivity, like Im texting then menu option pops up or just scrolling my chat messages and then out of the blue it's menu pop up. Using a tempered glass screen protector which has adhesive on edges, working perfect before the update. Will still monitor it and report back tomorrow.
My device got hosed after this update. I had to factory reset it. I am going to attempt a restore now from a backup but I have a feeling that I'm in for a nice new setup from scratch. The phone just went nuts this morning and progressively got worse. Play Services started draining battery like mad, Play Store stopped working, random glitches and crashes, etc. I finally decided that enough is enough. I wasted at least 2 hours troubleshooting the issues in the hope that factory reset won't be necessary. I ought to know better.
After 3 days using this update i guess it's time to do a hard reset. The glitches I'm experiencing are just annoying and there's a slight battery drain issue too.
After factory reset the device seems to be back to normal, more or less. Have to wait out the first 3-5 days for the device to settle in but all the glitches I was seeing are gone now.
Okay, got a chance to test the Bluetooth connection again. There seems to be a bit of improvement in range. This might be placebo effect. Beyond that, nothing has improved at all. I am still having trouble with Bluetooth dropping at random, connectivity and discovery issues, etc. Same as before. I don't believe that this update incorporated any of the Bluetooth fixes that were discussed for 1AQEB.
Got it today on Vidéotron, no issues so far.
