Samsung VR not support on early Nougat release? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

Hi Folks,
I recently downloaded Nougat as I could not really wait and wanted to play and tinker around with it myself and test out launchers etc for it.
I then wanted to use my VR headset to get a message saying your device needs an update to use this. Because I am using a early version of the OS I take it that VR will not be support until the full release which I believe is in a few days? well early December?
Might just go back to marshmallow and then wait untill I can get it.

It works on Nougat beta now after the latest update.

Thanks Lefty,
I knew I read about it somewhere. although I thought they would of put a hotfix out their for it. I am not fussy. I am glad their taking it easy with the release. I am running it the now and loving it.
Going back to marshmallow so I can get the official update for it.

As mentioned above, with the 3rd beta that was just released, I am now able to use my Gear VR with the Nougat beta. Try it out.

Ota update

Has anyone got the latest update from Sanding with the new ui? I thought it was going to be sent out yesterday. Will you get it if you are rooted?
Tapa, tapa, Tapatalk! Quoth the Raven - Nevermore
Everything I've seen says 'coming soon', what gave you the impression that it was coming yesterday?
I saw some post saying the release date was July 5th. Maybe I was just hopeful
Do we really need to make a Samsung account to update?

Wish you were right!
Damn, just went and googled the update and realized the update on July 5th was for the Sprint Galaxy Tab NOT the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Oh well, I guess I'll need to wait for "soon" before it gets updated. Still wondering if I will get the OTA since I rooted my 10.1 or if I will need to flash back to the default stock non-rooted version first.

My guess (totally uneducated) is that if you're rooted, you may have trouble since there are some fundamental changes. But that's seriously just a guess.

Speaking about updates.
The Samsung apps store got a update to a more tablet friendly UI. Isn't much but always something in the waiting for touchwiz.

Android Marshmallow Discussion

In case you didn't know, T-Mobile has just confirmed via their support page the list of devices - Note 4 included- receiving Android 6.0 in the upcoming weeks/months.
https://support.t-mobile.com/community/phones-tablets-devices/software-updates#tmoSUPDocTitle
Thanks,
Awesome. So we'll probably get it by 2017.
Probably about the same time as Android Nougat is released.

Don't you mean Android Zeppole?
Wait... So 5.1.1 was/is being slipped over?
Wow, so really when did T-Mobile fall way behind Verizon as the worst carrier for getting out updates? It used to be Verizon was far worse then all the carriers for getting out updates. I wish Sammy would just make there phones with Vanilla Android and the Spen and features work on those Kernels. Imagine CM with a working Spen suit?
How soon can we expect to see custom Marshmallow ROMs for our devices based on the ASOP Nexus Marshmallow ROMs?
So another 6ish months before we can hope to have an update. Skipping the one we know works. Hopefully Marshmallow isn't nearly as bad as when lollipop 5.0 landed. T-mobile is just about worthless for updates.

Yes, my understanding is that both will receive the update.
Its in Phase-1. T-mobile will take 4-5 months to test the software with their crapware, then it will be ready for us .

If the CEO truly wants to be the uncarrier he should get updates to us much faster. ;p

lol I feel your pain. I feel that way. But I'm actually one of those guys that hates battery drains and such so i never ever take a major update untill its been out awhile and i know there aren't issues. That's why I'm still on 4.4.4 running Hyperdrive RLS3 cause 5.0.1 i constantly hear the battery is noticeably worse on 5.0.1 then Kit Kat.
So Updates aren't crazy important to me, it's easy for me to just sit back and wait.

BaHumBug! We, Tmobile customers, should have already learned the lesson by now that this only means a 6-7 month wait for 6.0 (possible bugs too) and most will move on to different phones/carriers by then. I love my Note 4, I think it is still a great overall phone but Tmobile sucks with updates.
Also can't wait for those that will come to this thread lets say about 2-3 months from now that will ask "so did 6.0 come out yet?" or "Any news on 6.0?".
If this article is to be believed, there seems to be a certain Note 4 missing from development by Samsung....
I'll give you a hint... It starts with a T and ends with a Mobile.

6.0 in testing

Sony/E6853/E6853:6.0/32.1.A.0.X
Only a minor version change.
Do you mean Sony is testing Android 6.0 beta on Z5 series? If so, could you tell me how to get it?

Sony has 6.0 test builds already, operators should be getting them for acceptance tests.
I'm not personally testing them since I'm "stuck" with retails devices at the moment and no sorry I can't tell you how to get it.
I see. So do you think we will get "concept" version of 6.0 just like Z3 and Z3C soon?
I'm receiving an update now...don't know what it is yet!
Z5C was on 6.152 and as of yesterday is now on 6.200
My Z5P on 6.170, so the new update might be 6.200, putting everyone on the same version.

Check Sony's developer's website for instructions on how to unlock your BL and flash AOSP 6.0. I would just wait though. It's rumored to be officially released OTA in a month or two. Then you wouldn't need to lose your DRM keys.

I can see the binaries, is there an actual build that is flashable? I haven't seen one yet for my Z5P. I have 6.0 on another phone and would love to see a working build for this one. If you can point me toward the download, i would appreciate it.

Not that I know of. Just the binaries. You will have to build it on your own by following Sony's directions.

I think Sony may hold off and move to a once yearly now. There have been no substantial Z6 leaks and we usually see something within a month before MWC.

Huh? How do you come to that conclusion?
I guess the update will be with us either this month or next month. Either way we get it soon. The phone works fine ATM so there's no rush.
At this stage every year we usually see a leak of sufficient substance to show a phone will be released. So far nothing. All the leaks are just rumours.
Also at the start of last year Sony was asked whether they were going to move to yearly.... They said 'not yet' (the Z3+ then came out.)
If anything, the Z6 will be the same as the Z5 lineup with a change of SoC. Design change will be later in the year.
Any news? Does we get MM before or after MWC?
真的吗really?

Has there been any rumors or confirmation if S7 is getting 7.0 for the VZW variant? Thanks!

Yep http://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-android-7-0-nougat-beta-726792/
Looks like Nougat beta is coming very soon (in the next few days) so I wouldn't be surprised if we got Nougat by the end of the month. But I also wouldn't be surprised if it didn't come around until the end of the year.

That's Sammy for ya. Unpredictable, and explosive. Ha! We should issue note 7's as hand grenades for marines lol
I wouldn't be so quick to blame Samsung. It's Vzw. They have to strip out useful features they charge for. Add their trash and then remember to upload it to their update servers.

I believe the beta is filled, you could try by downloading Galaxy Beta Program from Samsung app store. And yes it is for stock Verizon. They are pushing Sprint's beta today, Verizon tomorrow, and T-Mobile on Saturday.

S7 Edge Nougat Update G935FXXU1DPLR

Which Country has received the S7 Edge Nougat Update G935FXXU1DPLR?
https://www.sammobile.com/2017/01/04/samsung-rolling-out-nougat-for-the-galaxy-s7-to-some-users/
I really don't know. It appears on some web sites but any links to download yet

It seems Samsung deploys the update for those using the Beta program first. Just to make sure there wont be any big problem on too many smartphones. It should come soon for everyone
Dont forget the network/carrier stage may delay your updates! Im not expecting mine until June at the earliest based on prior timescales.....
Call me sceptical, but it's now been 2-3 days since this news came out and so far nobody has said that they've got this update... Is it just a big load of crap so Samsung can say that they've released nougat?
There's about 15 websites spreading the same news around but still no proof?

I entirely agree with you... I think that if people would "really" have received the update, at least one of them would have captured and shared it here.
Absolutely it looks like it is Fabricated.....may be the screen shot too.
Did not Beta Developers say that the update is being rolled out with Android 7.1.1?
