Hi all,
I have an S7 Edge from Bell in Canada. The latest Security Patch Level I have is from April 2, 2016, which seems rather out of date.
I was curious to see if I was missing an update(s) that I'm just not getting. What Security Patch Levels do other S7 Edge owners on Bell have?
Thanks!

Bought it unlocked straight from Samsung Canada, still the same version. Carrier not the reason it's behind this time...
I ordered the s7 edge yesterday from t-mobile. First he said it wasn't even in the warehouse. Then refreshed his feed a few minutes later and there popped up the phone ready to be ordered. So I ordered and got a shipment date of 11/20. Does anyone know if I should be looking at that date or is it a strong possibility it will come sooner?

All Samsung devices are depleted from their inventory due to the note 7 exchanges. I managed to get the last 2 from. My area. They have regular s7 but no note 5's or s7s. That is probably a pretty accurate date

I just spoke to Samsung and they said the carriers have them and are in stock. Idk what that actually means tho because T-Mobile said it's back ordered.
Hi
Let's make a thread about when YOU guys think Nougat will hit, based on experience, the speed they got beta out this year and such.
January to February.
Sent from my Galaxy S7 Edge Duos via Tapatalk
March 27
Q2, for the S7E being one of the most popular flagships Samsung can sure be late to the party since even irrelevant phones from some other OEMs are already getting the Nougat update.
This crap takes for ever. Whatever.
I will say this again, remember how long Samsung took to release Marshmallow for the S6 / S6e? I bought mine in October 2015, they promised Marshmallow by end of 2015, nothing came, then they said February, nothing came, then they released it in the end of March, by then I had already got sick of that crap phone and sold it for a Nexus 6.
Let's hope they've learned from their mistakes and step up their game with Nougat on the S7/S7e.
when the booty is shown to us
Probably some day in January.

Anyone else tired of waiting. PLN beta is soooooo bad. Everyday I think about going back to 6.0.1 but I get so lazy lol. Nougat couldn't come soon enough. My phone freezes multiple times a day this last 7.0 beta is so terrible. Hurry up Sammy
Came here to post this exact thing. This wait is ridiculous.
Bull **** how long we are having to wait! Lol
waiting for this update to try the s7 edge.. In the meantime, enjoying the LG V20
We buy these phones to have a premium experience and they already rolled out N to entry level and mid level devices...Samsung won't ever learn. These phones are the slowest for updates. Ever since the S4.

Me too. You've got to wonder though how effed up the nougat final release is going to be if they can't get the beta right. Based on beta feedback here, I'm not hopeful.

Indeed! I've been using the high end Galaxy phones and tablets since the early days, and they've consistently screwed us on updates. One thing we can count on is that Samsung will give us the updates last, if we get them at all.
Yeah I'm not sure I'm going to get th s8, although sprint has me on the galaxy forever plan, I can get a new one every year and trade in my current one. I was really banking on google bringing the pixel to all carriers but these butt heads went Verizon only or buy unlocked. Maybe the next pixel phone will find its way on all carriers so we can lease it.
Apparalently the next Pixel may have waterproofing, but no edge. But tempting becuase of how bad Samsung is with keeping their devices up to date.

I'm not sure. I was on T-Mobile, sprint had a switch to sprint and we cut your bill in half promotion. So they cut my bill in half, took my note 5's and gave my wife and I both new s7 edge phones on the galaxy forever plan. I don't think we pay anything for it. If I did, I'm not seeing it on my bill because I was paying around 230 with TMobile now with sprint I'm paying about 135 lol.

Interesting. Maybe I got grandfathered in. That article is July 2016 I got my phone's in march 2016 and it's still on my account for the s7 edges we have. I'm eligible for the s8 when it drops.

I'm done with Samsung after this, didn't even want this phone to begin with, got it because of the note 7 recall, and I've hated it since day one. Leave it to s**tsung to make a good phone you can do nothing with, And this wait for an official update is a f***ing nightmare. I thought I'd be happy getting rid of my G3, but I've never missed it more. Should have known not to trust Samsung again, but this will be the last time I make this mistake. Really tempted to sell this pos and just get a pixel.

Hey bud. I called sprint and verified. I'm still eligible to get the newest Samsung every year with no fees..Each phone has to hit the year mark. Literally just got off the phone.

I'm leaning same boat man. I'm not certain I'll get the s8 plus or another Sammy device. This s7 edge has left a bad taste in my mouth. But I dang sure won't buy an iPhone. I need sprint to come out with more Android selection
It's not samsung at all, blame sprint. They suck for updates, samsung does it's job, we would have it (nougat) but fing sprint.

Nothing for Tmobile for an update yet. Last we know it went into testing mode 2 weeks ago. Sprint was suppose to roll and update this month for LTE 3 carrier aggression. Who knows when we will get updated now. T-Mobile S7 users on Marshmallow are still on November security patch.

It's all Samsung. Not Sprint. Even the G935U (Unlocked US) have not received the update. Samsung hates Americans, LOL! But really, I don't understand how Apple and Google can update the entire world on the same day and Samsung can't. Even their sorry excuse for voice (S Voice) or Cloud (Samsung non-existent cloud that can't be accessed through an internet site, only your phone....so **** if something happens to your phone...) is disheartening. I miss my Note7. It was running Marshmallow. I would just be happy if Samsung brought the UX to the S7. Same processors, same ram....should've pushed a Touchwiz update a long time ago. But they have our money and they really don't care about the US. We are a speck of their Asian customers with their billions in population. Plus, the FTC has to approve **** here left and right, and then the carrier bull****. They have to make a different update for each carrier and their bloatware. If only I could get the Honor 8 or P9 to work on Sprint, but their network is ****. Maybe the Verizon unlimited plan is exactly what I need.

Got it this morning in Italy.
Wow that's quick! I guess all of us with carrier phones would have to wait longer though..
Any differnce in battery life i purchased this handset from Mumbai India
Got it on my unlocked device on Verizon network this morning.
Nothing on HK device yet. I think my device will get the updates last.

Yes unlocked SM-N986U1 XAA is still on ATH3.
The updates were frequent on S20 Ultra devices this spring, no doubt they were scrambling like a cat on a hot tin roof trying to fix the autofocus fiasco. Now it would appear they are back to their normal update frequency.
