7.1.1 is coming ! - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hey everyone
I heard the Android 7.1.1 update for Galaxy S7 & S7 edge is in testing at carriers and is just about to come for us
Anyone heard when exactly ?

The Beta testers will probably get it first. Release date is probably somewhere near february or even march.

I'm starting to seriously doubt if 7.0 will ever come. I rather stick to MM right now as not much dev been going for the Google Pixel.

I'm still running 6.0.1 on AT&T. Why the delay?

Because it is only a beta release and AT&T does not allow betas.
Final version is rumored to be released on February or March, and even then, carrier specific releases will probably take longer.

You wanna bet on that, everyone got it before them last year (S6), Vodafone being first!

am one of the beta testers and we are at update 4 now but still on 7.0

No, the official Nougat will be 7.0. It was announced on Samsung Members here in Korea.

And it was announced by Samsung Support in Europe that the official update will be 7.1.1. We just don't know yet. Let's hope for the 7.1.1 though

Yeah I saw that, and some beta users here inquired if that is true, only to get answers saying No.
Well I do want to stop getting disappointed at Samsung changing their words(or giving different answers). Hope we can get 7.1.1 ...

Lollipop coming to NA Galaxy devices NOW

Hey Guy,
I have a friend that works for the mobile division of BestBuy and he saw an email that Samsung sent them that says Lollipop should be released within a few days. The email doesn't specifically give that information but he says it shows instructions on how to update the demo devices to Lollipop and how to reinstall the retail demo software after the update. He said usually those kind of emails are sent within days of the actual updates which would mean that most of the units on demo (Note 4, S5, Alpha and possibly Note 3) should be getting 5.0 within a few days. This update affects DEMO units which are not carrier branded which could mean, as usual, some carriers might keep that update for testing until they are comfortable it is fully compatible with their network.
This is good news for us, as Samsung has already started pushing Lollipop to some European countries.
I say mid February
BAD ASS NOTE 4
Possible, depending on the carrier. I think T-mo pushes the updates quite quickly
The T-Mobile Note 2 I had earlier was still on Jelly Bean. Is Lollipop coming to T-Mobile Note Devices anytime soon?

It's verified that it's coming in Jan. It was verified to a mod, so it's pretty safe to rely on the information.

What's the purpose of waiting for an OTA? I get too excited to update if there is no reason to update and I have a stable ROM (Unless the ROM I use updates).

I dont think its about waiting for OTA, i think its about knowing more or less when our fav rom will make the jump to 5.0
I read the galaxy s5 will get lollipop first early January, note 4 "soon after".
It's real, but I don't think the note 4 will be the first to get it, and honestly as rude as this sounds, I don't care when other Samsung devices get it, I want it on my note 4! Official with everything working. Hopefully January

The S5 rollout started end of november. Note 4 should follow shortly as more and more leaks videos come out
I actually work at Best Buy. I'll see what I can dig up when I go to work tomorrow.
got to be earlier than march I mean by then we should be expecting another upgrade.... lol
I think by the mid or end of this month./
Like stated above...I could care less when the official update is released. I just want to know my roms will be updated.

It's funny how several people can read the same articles and interpret it VERY differently. Samsung has announced THEY will be rolling out Lollipop...this means unbranded devices. Then one of the articles uses words regarding US carriers as "could" and "as early as January" adding the disclaimer that the carriers will do whatever they want regarding testing and timelines. So before you all continue fighting over vaporware, research all the articles on KitKat and Jellybean that all had the same wording, people still posting "We will haz JB tomorrow" and then the US carriers releasing an OTA 2 months later. Granted Sprint and T-Mobile are usually the firsts in the US carrier line because they do not have to worry about unlocking and relocking a bootloader without bricking devices on an OTA....so rather than fight...just wait...be patient for that new Knox loaded Lollipop update.
I will be cleaning the disrespectful posts from this thread and expect those who posted in such a manner to accept this as an official warning...do not do so again!

Android 7.0 Nougat testing has begun at Samsung !!

This is good news!!
At Geekbench, you can find as many as 7 listing showing Android 7.0 running on Galaxy S7. And even more listings for the curvy brother, S7 Edge.
See them pages here.
It's entirely possible Samsung could release the Nougat build this month, otherwise October looks a sure-shot!
Thoughts?

I hope they'll roll out soon as they're pretty late and slow releasing new iterations of Android.

Probably right knowing Samsung
Don't forget after Samsung is done testing it still has to go to the carriers and they do more testing. 2017 sounds right.
My guess would be for December 2017 for us USA users!!! Lol

Any ideas if they'll finally fix the MVNO roaming issue? It stops background data on a lot of apps when it detects you as roaming, regardless it's your own network. This is not a Samsung bug, more like Android, but Samsung made it worse with the way it makes some apps behave when it detects roaming.
Greatttttttt news guys....

No News. Oneplus does not communicate with owners of older Phones. But i can imagine that they are annoyed because of the dozens of threads asking for a ETA on the Nougat update @ the Oneplus-Forums.
I dont know who, but one of the Oneplus-Employees said it will come. Thats all we have

Why didn't we get 7.1?

Why couldn't samsung simply rip out the spen junk from the note rom and release it on our phones?
Because they're working on Oreo

That's not a valid excuse, 7.1 came out in oct 2016, 7 months later the s8 was released with an os that came out in august 2016.
These are not midrange phones, we deserve better.

So what is your complaint exactly? You're angry about the fact that we didn't get a rom then, even though we're getting the latest version now? You knew about it, bought it, then came here to complain about it 7 months or so afterwards?
What was so important that changed from 7.0 to 7.1? I have a feeling you're just looking to whine about anything possible
My complaint is pretty clear, not sure why you can't see it.
When Android 7.1 was released, it was seen as a Nexus/Pixel exclusive with pixel-only exclusives. It's more surprising that the Note 8 did come with Android 7.1 than the S8 not getting an update. Most skinned manufacturers decided early on to skip 7.1 in favor of 8.0
Why didn't we get 6.1?
Samsung releases the major builds and frequent updates. We don't need stuff that's more suited for a pixel. If you're that concerned, buy a pixel.

Sorry I should have been more clear and misunderstood. By the time that 8.1 was out development on 8 would have already started.
Short answer. Do you seriously expect them to complile thousands of packages all over again for a version that changes basically nothing, only to do it all over again 2 months later for a major release?

Yes, that's their job, they dont get to take a year off after compiling one version of android. If they can release x.1 updates on the note they can do the same on the s8.

Oreo update for the Galaxy S6

Hi,
I just spoke to a Galaxy support rep, and they gave an ETA of about January/February. I don't know if this is completely legit but if it came from a support rep, I'd think it's true. And the ETA seems legit.
I don't know what you guys think of this but... yea. Hopefully we get the Oreo update. I'd also suggest you speak to support reps yourselfs to comfirm it

"That was Legitness..."
I would be happy if my S6 gets OREO.
I think its true, its only a matter of time now. S6 is a good device!
Don't get me wrong but that answer seems very generic and as far as i know the oreo update didn't even hit the S8 model. Mind you that it will take another 2-3 months after that for the S7 update wich is the previous generation. Aaaand after that we can expect something for S6, but i'm not confident for a stock oreo from Samsung...
Since N released for the S6 in April/May, I expect Oreo to be released in August/September
Carefully read the message timed at 14.22, they will release an update on WHICH phones will receive an update.

Pretty much impossible that the S6 gets Oreo. Their support rep has denied that the update will come. Here is the link: https://support.t-mobile.com/thread/143393 . If you look at the T-Mobile software update page the S6 isn't listed as an eligible device for the Oreo update
