Has this been reported? I looked and didn't see anything.
So I didn't realize I was missing this feature until today when I got a scam call and noticed I hadn't received notification that the number had been reported as a scammer. It looks like Samsung has gone back to more of a plain vanilla dialer for Nougat in lieu of their Smart Call Dialer (with all that lovely Whitepages integration) that was present in Marshmallow. This might be no big deal for you or it might be enough of an annoyance to avoid updating. It's your call (no pun intended), but I wanted to at least let you know to expect the change once the thing is out of beta.
By the way, if you're like "what is he talking about" and you're on Verizon, you never had the feature to begin with so no huge loss.
Cheers.
Can you please run antutu without performance mode and post your results? Sorry to hijack but not a lot of people have tHe OTA
The option is still there. It's disabled on some carriers.
The feature works perfectly for me. Maybe it's carrier-related?

I had Australia Vodafone with Marshmallow that had the Whitepages integration, I just tried updating to Germany Vodafone Nougat and it was missing initially. Someone else had mentioned that they had to perform a factory reset AFTER flashing the new ROM and it will bring back the whitepages integration and I can verify this! After I performed a factory reset I then had the identify unsaved numbers for the Galaxy S7 Nougat Vodafone Germany ROM.

I am on BTU, language set to German. It is greyed out even so I made a factory reset after the update.

I was able to get it to work if you rooted, I using tmobile USA CSC.
Go into CSC folder and others.xml and look for where it says off,off,whitepages change to whitepages,whitepages,off then reboot.
In settings search for identify and it will lead to toggle to turn on (the setting is in advance settings).
hope that helps.

After yesterday's update, I can't set a default sim card for calls and messages. And can't set lock screen wallpaper same as home screen. I am guessing there are more bugs to surface. How to resolve these issues?

no way to resolve them, oneplus really screwed us here lol. people may tell you to install garbage third party dialers or default sim override apps which cost money which is ridiculous. up to you if you want to experiment.
Wallpaper - set the one you want for lockscreen to your homescreen. Than set it as lockscreen and switch back your Homescreen.

Yep that's the answer. Erase all your data lol.
Response from Oneplus on twitter:
"We've received feedback that some users have experienced issues with sim selection, however, this may be fixed in the future update"

It is probably the software that your phone downloaded. Download the 2.1.2 firmware here in XDA, and it flash it to the device. lol
Bluetooth based handsfree is only partialy functioning on multiple cars. Yes, you can dial and receive calls. No addressbook, no Bluetooth DUN, SMS download working sometimes.
And yes, that dual sim default selection for calls is not working too...
Same issue. Only one SIM card will connect at a time. - after rooted .zip update via TWRP.
It appears there's no Samsung Find My Mobile settings on my S7 edge. There's no way to control/change Remote Controls, SIM Change Alert, and Reactivation Lock. I know there's alternatives out there but I actually like using this service.
On my S6 edge, they were under Settings > Lock Screen and Security > Find My Mobile.
Anybody find these settings?
Quick check of AT&T manual versus Verizon manual shows Verizon's manual makes no mention of the settings to enable this feature. AT&T'S manual does show the setting being present in the settings app security settings.
Samsung's "Find my mobile" web portal has a help feature describing how to tell if your device can be used with Find my mobile.
The Verizon variant truly does seem to lack support for it, since the options for enabling it are not found where Samsung's help feature says they will be on feature-capable devices.
You can go third party like Cerebrus or use Google's Android Device Manager to replicate some, but not all, of this feature's capabilities.
I'm sure no one will be surprised to learn that Verizon sells a premium version of their pre-installed basic VZ Protect feature that includes device location for a monthly fee.
I simply cannot believe the degree to which Samsung has agreed to cripple this flagship device's features to meet this carrier's demands. Were I the Samsung executive that handled these arrangements, I would have told Verizon they would receive no accommodations for device configuration that differed from any other American carrier and let them decide if they wanted to be the only major carrier unable to offer the device to their customers.

I confirmed though Samsung chat that VZW disabled the feature. Chat rep suggested I contact my carrier to have the feature enabled.

It's disabled on mine too. I'm on Sprint.

I went to Android Device Manager and my s7 Edge was there without me having to have done anything - I could locate it and remote ring/wipe it.
This is one thing I wish was on the phone - iPhones you cant reactivate without an iCloud password even if you wipe it. This needs to exist through Google or Samsung.

Once you set up your Google account you can't use the phone without the account info after wiping. Well unless you use one of the hacks, but they get squashed as Google releases new versions.

I have two accounts on my phone though. Which one is it going to lock me into? How do I know if its working without formatting my phone? Is there a certain app I need?
Thanks.

What I found.
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00042882/997379756/
Only thing I see is it says use find my mobile to check if FRP is active. Without it I'm not sure how to check.

So I guess it is just kinda there... only way to test it is to try to factory reset your phone without booting it.
Dang All I want to do is change my Sammy password and instructions TELL me to deactivate reactivation lock. Good thing these forums are here. Thought I was going nuts. Again. TY (S7):victory:
Hi, I have a Carrier Free (Spain PHE) S7 Edge bought in samsung store.
Well, I updated the phone a week ago... but yesterday y receive a call from "typical marketing spam", and I note this wasn´t flagged with the unsaved number service, I went to "advanced options" and the option WAS GONE!
- Reverting to older firmware not work
- The phone actually had the option two weeks ago
- It´s carrier free, no locked or modified phone.
- Not CSC folder in /system .. so not others.xml or features.xml
I know there´s a "hiya" app that supposed to do the same, but not works as well, it´s not integrated and the blocked calls actually shows for a sec.
Any ideas? .. anybody with same problem?
Thanks in advance.
I want it to. IF someone could extra the needed apk's that would be awesome! I tried Hiya and it lags and isn't as integrated.
Hi, I had it before I upgraded to nougat, after that it disappeared. I then did a factory reset and it came back.

Hey, any of you root people, could you pull the voicemail apk off your phone so I can use it with my flashed universal phone? Have tried the s6 edge software but no go. Thank you
This is simple through titanium backup. No one?
The one on official firmware will not install correctly. But this is an older one that works. Download and install like normal.

Yes.
Thanks again seems to be working
Once you set up, it may take a while to actually activate. I just left the app, came back to it 5-10 min later, and it was running normally.
Ya took me almost an hr. Worked well though. Downloaded many that didn't work. Just needed 1 that did.
It doesn't appear to actually work. You all just think it is.
If you leave a vm it wont download it (or mine doesn't seem to).
If you go into settings and pref, it shows it's not verified still also. You just stopped seeing the prompt because once the screen times out it is no longer on top but if you fully kill the app and re-open it still says verifying.
These are my findings at least? If you go into settings and pref does it say you're verified?
Yeah I couldn't get it to work either
Didn't work for me either
Try this one it worked for me on my unbranded piece o sh!t locked bootloader s7 edge with the added ticking timebomb feature.

On a side note samsung got what they deserve for [email protected] us usa s7 owners. I hope they lose tons of money

Are you sure?
I've got the same issues all the others did. It can't activate. Just because it stops popping it up doesn't mean it's activated now either. That message suppresses after a while.
It seems to tie into something that it and Sprint Zone use from what I can tell and thus why won't work on these non-branded firmwares.
Leave yourself a VM and see if it shows up...
It usually wouldn't go past the account verification at all. I'm not 100 %sure yet. But it did go farther than before and I'm trying it out now to verify. Will get back
If you press home and go back into it the app will hide the message but it still wont work.
I actually found the outbound activation messages in it that are failing to send even.
So this is another bust.
I think our best luck is if someone can either reverse eng. this thing to modify it to not try to use whatever sprint bloat it's looking for or we find what it's looking for and find a way to put it on our phones.
Sadly it's not a new issue. All the Nexus people have had the issue from day 1. And it seems to be only sprint because they won't make a darn public compatible app.
I can't use GVoice as I already use it for a second number and I don't like any of the third party ones that make you use conditional call forwarding to them to do this...
Another question for you all. I've noticed if NO voicemail app is installed I do not get any notification I have voicemails. If I do install one (despite it not working) I get notified because it says pending voicemail download at least.
With no VM App installed are your phones telling you that you got VM?
Yeah same boat here man. Looks like we beating a dead horse
Yea, Sprint should upload visual voicemail to the Play Store like T-Mobile does. So stupid.

Hi,
After I updated my S7Edge to stock UK Nougat I recently saw that whenever I want to enter Google Settings it prompts me to select a profile. I don't remember asking me this in the past.
Is it only me or you got the same thing asking..?
Many thanks!
PS. Still waiting for Google Assistant.
Hm, my friend had same exact thing going on, he managed to fix this, i will ask him how did he do, in few hours, of course i hope someone will answer you faster
Thanks
Anyone?
Yeah. Samen here. I think there is a way to set more then one account in Nougat and thats why you will have to chose everytime wich account you want for the settings. Don 't mind really
Ok ... Good to know
