Can you try to downgrade after you update and see if it'll downgrade? Thanks. Its ok if you're not interested in all that hassle.

Nothing visible has changed, no new apps. No new settings. June 1st security patch which may be different. I'll maybe try to downgrade tomorrow.

I already checked it. Downgrade safe.
I haven't found a tutorial on downgrading to 5.1.1 from 6.0.1. Is there a safe way to do it?

Not sure what you mean by "safe" but typically you just use Odin to flash full stock 5.1.1, do a factory reset in stock recovery afterwards and you're done.

I'm guessing its just a June security patch.
I'm impressed Verizon is actually trying to keep up with the security updates on this device. BUT, i dont think they have a choice because this device is probably more used then the Note5 .
Anyone tried this update while being rooted?

Seems to have fixed some lag, heat , and battery drain issues I was having. Auto brightness is still borked. Still have to turn the brightness down manually in a dark room, and up to max outside.

I've heard a lot of mixed reviews of Google Fi. Which phone are you going to go with? I've thought about replacing my Note 4 DE with the Moto X Pure when they run it on sale again (was $319 a few days ago). But the Droid Z Force also looks nice.
Made my battery worse! A little less lag though....so got that goin for me!!! Lol

Not really the place to discuss it so I'll keep it brief.
My girlfriend has a Nexus 5X. The phone is amazing, updates are quick and common. It operates perfectly on marshmallow with no noticeable issues. We live in bum**** and she still gets service wifi calling and texting is fine, and no contracts. We pay about 42 a month for hers with insurance.
Well one thing I noticed (not sure if it was this update or the last one) is that when you pick an application to use (like browser) it becomes the default. With the old OS it would ask you to use just once or make it the default. Arrgggg I prefer to pick the application as needed and not make it the actual default.

The MM update made this change to default app handling. I liked the old way too. Now if I want to change the default app I have to remember which app was set as default before I can make the change. Sometimes remembering which app was set as default isn't easy to do.
Deleted. Think was in wrong thread.
Been a long time sense I've posted anything in this forum.
I just went back to the Note 4 and did the MM update and have noticed a heavy draw on the battery compared to LP. Am wondering if letting it did cycle through a few time might correct the battery drain. Was on an iPhone for awhile, but for personal reasons came back android. Has anybody tried that yet. Have been temped to hard reset and start fresh to see if it fixes it.
This update has increased the battery draw on mine and it is running HOT! Need help.
Downloading it now ! 1074.5 mb

Looks like the AT&T Tab S2 now supports NumberSync. Can someone post the AT&T Marshmallow ROM? I'd like to install it on my international SM-T815, and see if I can get calls to work. Also, the AT&T ROM should allow the Samsung Gear app to work.

You neither could nor would want to install the att firmware on your device.
If it could and you somehow managed to flash the bootloader you would end up with a locked device forever.
Flashing the system.img is possible, but why when the MM software is already available for your device?

Like I said:
1. I would like to use the Numbersync feature so I can share the same phone number across all my devices.
2. I would like to install the Samsung Gear app from the PlayStore so I can pair the tablet with my watch.
Instead of messing with the SM-T817A ROM, I'll probably just pick up a tablet from AT&T.

So if I have the Sm-t817a tablet will I eventually get the MM update? I bought it off Craigslist the other day and didn't care about the LTE but it was perfect condition 9.7" for $300 . I don't really care about rooting it or anything and it sounds like I'd be screwed anyway if I was bit I have my Nexus devices for that.

So, How did it go? I got the update a couple of days after you and everything is perfect except for the keyboard. Very Often, while I am typing, the system inserts spaces and misses characters etc. It can be a real pain in the a$$ to type on the tablet now.
Well, here we are, 17 days later; and the typing problem is Long Gone. Weird... But, Good !!
BTW
I performed a factory reset before and after upgrading just to be safe.
Anyone else ever receive the update? I'm still stuck on Lollipop.

Haven't received the update here either. Anyone know of a way to force it?
sorry . I hope everyone has there update by now ! my battery is little better is best thing from this update . I didn't factory reset . runs really smooth !

I finally got the update. I didn't have my AT&T sim in the tablet anymore. As soon as I put the AT&T sim back in and checked for the update, it pushed out. Not sure if this will affect anyone else or not.
won't find the update
I've tried doing the update OTA and it hasn't found it yet.
I've tried to do it through KIES and it says that this device is supported by Smartswitch and won't let me do it that way.
I want to do it through Odin, but I cannot find the update file.
Does anyone have a link or copy of the rom so I can get mine updated?
Thanks!
After talking with AT&T, the only way to update this tablet without AT&T service is to go to Best Buy and have them push it for you manually. Alternatively, you can call Samsung @800 726 7864 and they have a way to push it from the cloud or something.
Yes, old thread, but this tablet is STILL the bomb and many people are buying them used off of eBay only to find the last owner never bothered to update to Marshmallow.

I was in the market for a new e-reader (OG Nook Book just wasn't cutting it any longer). Ended up with a Tab 2, but the Nook version due to the additional $50 discount. Was surprised it came with MM, but now I'm trying to figure out how I can get Nougat on it. This tablet really is the bomb!
So I have a nexus 6p. Got the update and now cannot open the app. Dell defender. It's the token generator which I need to be able to login to work. I'm still running stock nougat for now. But please can someone else run this ans test. All I get is an FC upon opening. I've fed back to dell but no answer at all
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
I get the same result as you, force close on open. I have a feeling Dell will have to update for Nougat to get it to work. The app hasn't been updated in almost a year.
Without the proper logs there is nothing anyone can do. Also many apps have not been updated to work with 7.0 yet so just wait it out.
yep, if this is a work phone then updating to an OS that has was released just over 1 week was not a good choice. if the app is viral to you flash your phone back to 6.0.1
The update sucks and I'd like to go back to stock firmware. Anyone know how to do this without tripping knox? Surprised once u unenroll from the bats program it doesnt have an ota to go back to official firmware like Google does with the pixels and such.

Lol it's beta what did you expect, anyway you'll need to download a firmware for your variant and then flash through odin, this doesn't trip Knox or anything.

Yes it wiped my data but I was beyond frustrated with the oreo beta and just wanted the phone back to the way it was the day I bought it. All seems well back on 7.0. I did unenroll from the beta on the samsung+ app prior to flashing back to stock with smart switch and as soon as it booted back into the stock firmware, I was prompted to download the oreo beta. Highly annoying but found an app that allows you to block software update notifications. You would think samsung would take a few notes from google and provide an ota rollback to get back to stock but they didn't. Luckily smart switch was the easiest software I ever used to restore a phone. Literally plug in and just wait.

OK I used the cheater app to get Samsung + to give me the Beta on my unlocked S8. There is not a dis-enroll option in Samsung + that I can see (because I used the cheater app perhaps?) when I was on the Beta or now that I'm back on 7.0. I did use Smart Switch to downgrade. So as soon as I log in after downgrading, the Beta automatically downloads and best you can do is say install later which is says it will do at night. I factory reset thinking the upgrade it tied to my Samsung account but no, I sign in with a different Google ID and a different Samsung ID but still the Beta downloads. How and the hell do I get this to stop? All I can think of is see if I can disable updates with BK. This crazy.

Yeah I'm using bk disabler and it hasn't tried to force install the update. I'm sure once the official release of oreo comes out we will be good to go with deleting that app. That beta program is some trash. Lol

Well it really looks no different, no magic feature that I noticed except duel messenger if you use that. I will offer the advice that if it's not offically offered to you via Samsung + where you will be able to dis-enroll, stay away. I forced it with the app being pushed here on XDA and now I can't keep it off unless I want to disable system update with BK. Just spent an hour on the phone with Samsung application support, they remoted into my phone then escalated the ticket for a callback. RutRow, wish there was a cheater app to dis-enroll in the beta.
So I took the plunge, even installed it without wiping and no issues at all. Not even a single crash or anything

The thing I couldn't take is when long scrolling, like a webpage where it take multiple finger swipes to get to the bottom or an app like Flibboard where you continue to scroll, the app will just close and your kicked back to the desktop.
Can you tell me how the Beta sign-up goes thru the app, Sammy support keep asking me what steps I did to sign up for the Beta. like they are wise to people forcing it. She asked a few times if I filled out a form. Thanks

You should tell them exactly how you cheated the system to get Oreo. Otherwise, you are just delaying the trouble shooting, when they are looking at the wrong end due to your lies.

Don't be a jerk. I understand this issue may be frustrating you but don't allow that frustration to cause you to be rude to those trying to help you. I've actually got both my Samsung Wireless Ear Buds and my Frontier watch synced and connected to my 6T. During the process I was actually led to the pages to install what I needed. I'm between classes right now. Let me get home later this afternoon and walk you through it. I can PM you or just post it here in case anyone else needs to see the info.
