Hey fellas,
My note 4 finally died on me so I decided to get the s7 edge and stay with the android fellers. I did have some questions though-
I got notified yesterday of a 164mb update. I'm trying to ignore it because I think whenever root is obtained it should be for older firmwares right? I'm on G935TUVU2APC8 and I don't want to upgrade and get shafted.
My second question is where are the update files stored and is it possible to delete them or disable the update so I can get rid of this annoying screen that pops up every now and again?
And I know I shouldn't ask but does anybody have a progress report for root on this phone? For previous phones I saw a donation page for root, this one I have yet to see it...

As the tile says.
woot.. i was able to sign up.. now waiting for the beta to be available to download...
I'm in now and downloading. Just go into settings and check for an update - it should be there. I'm on TMO in the US.
Not showing up for me, do you happen to be in the UK? I read that the beta opens up for US users later this week.
Got in!
Downloading now...
Edit: this build is noticeably faster and if battery life really does improve this build and android overall has come so very far. Awesome!
Anyway for any of you guys to post the firmware?

Sadly I don't think there is a way to successfully pull a functioning firmware currently for T-Mobile variants yet.
I got in, but have had no update pushed to me yet.
Wonder when it'll happen.

Hmm, maybe its just taking longer to get the update for some people.
I went completely stock today to ensure there wouldn't be any issues. After it downloaded the November security update,I manually checked to see if yjete was another uodate,and the beta was waiting to download.
Maybe any of you guys can root after downloading update and share the ota file with others.. Only if rooting doesnt delete any user data..
Registered but not seeing the update.

Once it's pulled from the device it doesn't seem to work. People have tried to.
This is very fluid and stable great beta. Can't wait till official. No problems at all. It was mentioned that GEAR VR is not supported but it updated mine and no overheat runs perfect

I'm thinking those of us on beta 7.1.1 may have to roll back to 7.0 to catch OTA but not sure. Good question.. I'm gonna roll back and try and force update, no luck for me thus far on beta 711.. I'll report back later..

If and when I get the ota I'll report back here immediately..

Great news tnx a lot for this info
I got the stock 7.1.1 OTA yesterday it's running good.
Hit the check now button to check manually, even if it already did automatically you can find the update manually.
Do anyone know if stock nexus builds support f2fs, and if, for which partitions? (I've done some mild google'ing on the topic with no definite answers).
I'm on the beta still no OTA update even when checking it manually

I checked mine about 100 times manually then downloaded full ota and flashed it using FlashFire app yesterday.
Any word on the Bluetooth issue from DP1+DP2 going away?
I had the beta 7.1, and had not received the official OTA.
my wife also has a 5X, but on 7.0, she got the notification the day after I read that they were rolling it out "in the next few weeks"
so I updated hers, then un-enrolled my device and as soon as I restarted mine I got the notification for 7.1.1
So far life is good with it, nothing major
the 2 things I am most peeved about is no Daydream VR and still have the Google search bar front and center (figuratively)
I enrolled my Nexus 5X in the beta program and when I try to side load the official 7.1.1 release it gives me an error: "Can't install this package over newer build. Installation aborted". Is there any significant change taking about stability and battery from the DP2 and the official release? Thanks!
Got the update to stock 7.0 few days ago. This is the fastest I have ever received any android update.
Did not even check manually for updates as I was not expecting this to be available or few weeks!

Yeah, same goes for the AT&T version (v520), no root, no twrp, not even barely any discussions.. Smh, if AT&T didn't give it to me for free i'd probably have just gotten a Nexus lol.. At least you can have fun with those..
I was able to get adoptable storage with the update now with a few adb commands
What version is this Nougat? (letter letter letter number number letter, can also be known as build number, not 7.0 - version of Nougat is obvious enough)
I plan on building AOSP for this, but I would REALLY prefer to match the exact version.
And I can't just run the update on my tablet, it's rooted and unlocked and I don't think I know the procedure to relock it.
Never mind, it said 7.0.0-r1.

Just an FYI you don't need to relock your tablet to update. Just follow this guide :

I am pretty sure AT&T just released the Android 7 update. Mine is still downloading so i am not really sure if it is indeed Android 7 but it's a 1.2GB update. I was going to post a new thread to let everyone know who has the AT&T version but i can't as i am a new user
Edit- Yup. Mine is now running Android 7.0 with a December 1st security patch

Hmm, weird cuz mine keeps saying "your device is up to date" and it was last updated on January 10th.. But I'm still on 6.0.1..
EDIT: Also wanna add, I downloaded LG Bridge via a recommendation from another site that stated that was the only way the new update would be accepted, and that didn't work either.. When i click "Software Update" it says, "Cannot check the software version, Try again.", so I guess I'm s.o.l. for now..
I deactivated from AT&T when I switched to Verizon last month, but I still use it on WiFi and it works fine so I'm not sure why it's not working..

That is really strange. My guess would be is it hasn't been pushed out to every device yet. I happen to have checked for updates on the day AT&T pushed it out. Their website wasn't even updated yet when i got it. I wouldn't think deactivating it would cause it to lose the ability to update but i am kind of new to android so i am not 100% sure. I would just keep checking for updates or maybe contact AT&T and see if they could give you an answer. They do have a section in the Device Support to display information about software updates. I tried attaching a link to it but i can't as i have less than 10 posts. You can search on google AT&T software updates and it should be the top link. You'll then enter your device and scroll down to software updates. They do have a Troubleshoot and Resolve software updates page you could check out
Sweet. My fido v522 just completed its Nougat update. No more sluggish keyboard......for now. Lol

Thanks, it actually worked. The only difficulty I had was locating the SD card number. In the video the dude first says type sm lists-disk, however, when you actually look at the video later, he typed sm list-disks. That made all the difference.

I notice Wi-Fi issues on my Fido V522 after the nougat update. It would get horrible wifi speeds with a AC 4X4 (1900) network and frequent network drops compared to Marshmallow.
Hi guys, I'm on Oneplus 8 pro with root but i'm unable to use liveview to calibrate my position on Google Maps.
Is it working to you?
Thanks for your replies
Worked fine for me when I did it a few weeks ago. also rooted 8P but still on the latest OOS 11.

Ok, I don't understand why but I don't have the option to use liveview. It's very useful to calibrate without moving a rotating the phone like a stupid in public.
Idk if it has to do with the fact that I have bootloader unlocked with root.
If anyone knows how to solve please help me!

I'm afraid I have to correct mayself - it USED to work on my unlocked + rooted 8P but when I tried it just now I also didn't get that option.
I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with us having unlocked the bootloader + rooted the device ... but I do recall there having been 1 or 2 updates for Maps in the last few weeks and I'm guessing 1 of those removed that option, for whatever silly reason. It's Google after all and they don't need reasons to remove or cripple any app

No idea, esp. since I don't know when exactly the option even disappeared.
I guess there's no harm in trying, just remember to disable Playstore updates for Maps once you find a version that has it again. Let me know if you get it working btw, now I'm curious myself

I have the same problem. I remember the live view option working on OOS 11 , now, on the last version (12), nothing
I created a post on the official forum to know if it's my device fault, without answer: https://community.oneplus.com/thread?id=1143024798105337860
I remember something like this happened in the past with pixel devices, and was solved by google on a maps update, so... looks bad for us :S
edit: my Oneplus 8 pro is NOT rooted (never) and os version is 12.1 (c.33)
I'm rooted and with IN2023-11-C.33. Google maps with live view without any problems here (Europe)
