Most likely we'll get a few features once Android 7.0 hits our device. Obviously nothing S-Pen related, but some big things will trickle down.

We did get some expanded AOD settings. That's all I'm aware of at the moment

Okay thanks! I'm more interested in and hoping they give us the blue screen filter.

Were those AOD features to be able to get notifications from things other than the Samsung apps? Texts aren't showing up for me on my AOD.

I use Samsung's default messaging and you can tell the version by going to Settings -> Display and wallpaper -> Always on display -> About always on display
It should be 1.4.02, yours looks like it's not up to date.
From the About always on display menu there should be an option to update if it's not up to date

Thanks for the quick reply! Yeah that's why I'm not getting notifications on it, I use textra. At least the led still lights up. Yeah mine was outdated, I thought it needed a system update to update not just the app itself.

That's what I thought as well but I noticed one day that my phone had the new options for the display. Glad you figured it out though.

So no LED on back for Verizon?

If I have one, mine is not blinking.
It works on mine, no real need for it though.
Wonder if I need to turn it on....Blinking on front....not on back. I have it flipped on screen and nothing.
Make a call and see if it comes on. During the call it should slowly pulsate.

I'm sorry, I swore I saw someone else taking about it earlier, perhaps I mis-understood as I also cannot figure it out.
In a way, that makes me feel better. I guess we need root and Lightflow.

Light flow works fine on mine so far. Not rooted. tried to get access to the back power button light but couldnt get it working
haven't tried lightflow because it never worked on my GS3/GS4, and i only used it on my nexus back when i bought it...mainly bc there was some bad battery drain issues apparently.
wonder if they'll update for the back led?

You could get package disabler, then disable SDM, then restart the device. I did that and it worked. I've always done the debloated ROM tactic in the past, which always removed SDM.apk, but I can't make a ROM without root. Someone mentioned package disabler on here, so I bought it and gave it a shot. It works pretty well. It doesn't remove the apks from the system like a ROM based debloat, but it keeps them from running, which is an awesome feature to have without having root access.
Mine broke android pay. Did anyone else see this issue?

had sdm frozen with pdp. unless there's a detailed changelog of an update posted showing they fixed the horrible FFC or the slowmotion video jagginess, i'm not updating. phone seems fine as it is, and i don't trust them to make an OTA that's not crap (yeah, i had the note 4 and went from KK to lolipop and regretted it.)
where is this sdm?I'm not seeing it.
edit: nevermind searched disabler app. sorry I have never used it before, starting freaking.

Thanks for the feedback. I found my issue. For some reason I had color adjustment turned on (Nova widget > activities > color adjustment)

Has anyone taken the update yet out of the box?

All it says is "11A".
I deferred it for now until someone has some advise. I don't want to not be able to achieve root or something because I took an update out of the box. Haha

Yeah, definitely going to take me a few days. Came from Droid Turbo and 5.1.
Cool on the update, I figure unless there's some functionality broken out of the box, no need to take it until someone can tell us what it is.
I'm getting constant nag notifications for this. I turned off notifications for updates and it just sits in the notification drawer.
Anyone know how to permanently not take updates so I'm not bothered?

WELCOME TO VERIZON,talk about a double-edged sword:
Great coverage & network (YMMV of course),but,man the rest of their practices,not to mentionusing the bastard CDMA technology,is more than anyone should have to tolerate,especially when no real viable options are available.
Can you not disable VZW's bloatware (VZW apps)?
At minimum,I'd disable DT Ignite,not sure if that will help in the nagging,but,it's one less crapware app needlessly running on your phone..............

I came from a Note 4 and then S7E to the V20. AMOLED has such a tremendous saturation of colors that no LCD will ever be able to compete on that front. But, the brightness level and clarity is about the same. But it has taken me a few days to get back to accepting this as the new norm. Everytime I load CoC I think something is wrong until I remember I'm on a new device.
I took the update. I think it got rid of app pinning in recents.

anyone has LG VS20 VS995 IMEI?
The IMEI is a unique identifier for your phone,no two phones will have the same IMEI,regardless of carrier &/or model:

If you're asking how to find your IMEI,look in SETTINGS > ABOUT PHONE > STATUS

VZW Note 8 System Update

My Verizon Note 8 just received an update as we hit midnight Aug 15th EST.
I just got it and it is installing as I type. Fingers crossed they didn't bork a valuable setting in the original build....

I don't see much. It didn't add 4k video at 60 fps.
Did it change the down homescreen swipe to pull the notification shade down? I'm using Nova now but still.
PS - I do not trust Verizon.

According to someone in the Sprint thread its for Google Maps/Navigation stability and fixes.
That it does. It has to do with navigation and swipe. Nothing big.
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
It's a really big security patch for one of the largest Android vulnerabilities too. I'm glad it enhances swipe, the samsung keyboard is particularly inaccurate on this phone.
Does NOT patch BlueBorne Vulnerability!!!!
Installed the update this morning. It does NOT eliminate the BlueBorne vulnerability, unless Armis' scanner is broken ...
EDIT: Contacted Armis and received the following in response:
Armis Security said:
We have reviewed this. It appears that Verizon pushed a critical update that addresses BlueBorne. However, in our review they did not change the security patch level of this build to September 1, 2017. The Security Patch Level (SPL) in build NMF26X.N950USQU1AQI5 shows a date of August 1, 2017.
We have updated our device scan and review to account for this, and it will be available on the Google Play store shortly.
Thank you for reaching out us on this issue.

EDIT #2: An updated version of the BlueBorne Scanner from Armis is available on Google Play. I've installed it, but unfortunately it still indicates that VZW devices are vulnerable.
UPDATE: Armis' app has been updated to version 1.04, which correctly identifies VZW Note 8s as having been patched to eliminate the vulnerability.
It changed my 4GLTE icon so that it is constantly highlighted even on Wi-Fi. I don't think that was present before unless I'm mistaken
Just got it yesterday and also turned it onto this this morning. The OTA's on my S7 Active over on AT&T completely and eventually thrashed my phone and was eventually unusable. So I'm waiting.

WHERE IS THE N9860 ONE UI 3.1 UPDATE?

Now that Samsung has officially announced the release of the 3.1 update for the Note 20 series (Sammobile), let's have a competition for who can guess most accurately when the first region of our N9860s will get it.
I'll start off. Let's hope I am being pessimistic.

If only gestures worked perfectly, right now it's a quick flashing every time you swipe to go home when using Google gestures.
You don't get the flashing if you wait around 1-2 second before touching the screen after swiping home.
I don't know, I don't use gestures.

Yep, stuck at verifying phone number but I remember I had the same problem on 3.0 and then it fixed by itself later..
Let's see if same thing will happen. I got snapdragon.
Gotta say the phone feels much smoother again. There were always some hick ups with 3.0 for me even after factory reset.
Now it feels just like 2.5 where everything is smooth and this is without factory reset. I would recommend everyone to update.

After many days trying to verify the number, rcs works for me now.
It's the same when I updated to 3.0, took few weeks or something and then it just magically activated and works.
