I've had two random reboots after my 2:30am finishing time with the update. Once during the night, because my Gsam battery said it was only on for 33 minutes when I had woken up. And just a few minutes ago??
I think they are both "not so random" though. This morning and this afternoon, both corresponded with receiving a text message? I use YAATA, which has "chatheads".....So, I'm not sure if that caused it or what? I've used it many times since then, and in-between, with no issues, but those two reboots were the same time I received a text?
Factory reset always solves after update glitches...usually
Mine has been doing this every night and it's very inconvenient because I have enter PIN to boot so I can't use the alarm. I did a factory reset after updating.
Mine has not done it again since starting this thread... I had a text sending error and had to turn off/on data, (but I also had 2 text messaging apps installed at the time to test out, so this could have been my fault). I also had a Playstore issue where the Playstore didn't load....But I also installed the newest APK I downloaded here on XDA (once again, could have been my fault). A restart fixed these issues. I also "Wiped the Cashe" in the stock recovery while I was trouble shooting.
Initially, right after the Nougat upgrade, I did a wipe/factory reset before I let it boot the first time. I haven't had any issues since yesterday afternoon, but if I have any more I'll probably do a factory restore and start over from scratch.
I have not had any other issues that I see others are having (like with Instagram)

Hey everyone,
Context: I have a rooted stock 4.2.2 rom Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3, but I don't think that matters.
Last week I started experiencing hangs, and stutters with various applications, it would just freeze for 1-3 seconds and start moving again.
Then notifications, especially download notifications started to persist after clearing.
Starting 3 days ago anything I downloaded would stop between 50% and 73% and wouldn't finish for 5-10 minutes. This also applied to any and all installations.
Starting yesterday, all data transfer and text messages, even anything over wifi is taking 5-10 minutes or more, and sometimes never comes unless I do a battery pull.
I tried installing Titanium Backup in hopes of being able to back up my phone, but it won't generate the popup to ask for root privileges.
I've tried clearing the data and cache on just about any app/process I thought could be causing this. I've also done a cache partition wipe, it did not help.
I'm thinking a factory reset is in order, but wanted to get a 2nd opinion as to whether there is any other fix.

I do not know whether it is coincidence, but I updated couple of days ago and all of sudden, starting this morning, the Android system is draining battery at alarming rate. It does appear that this happens only when I am on cellular network and not on wifi.
I have been off the charger about 2 hours and my battery is down to about 50% already.
The phone is running very hot. (I took it out of the case) It does not appear that turning off cellular data affects this at all.
Rebooted the phone couple of times to no avail, at this point, I am considering factory reset of the phone, but would like to get some opinions on what may be the cause.
I saw the thread on the "android system battery drain", but this does not appear to be related to what majority of people are reporting as this slows down the phone significantly enough that the phone is almost unusable at this point.
Cleared cache but don't think is helping. That said, when I was trying to get to the recovery, the system said "Installing update" and then "No command", before getting me to the cache, I am wondering whether the "update" did not clean up itself...
Thanks.
EDIT: Looks like the system cache clearing did help after all.... System appear to be working normally now. Will have to see..
Ok, well, back to the drawing board. The phone behaved ok all day long. Came home, I did 2 things, turn on wifi, and then turned on bluetooth to test out a headphone and then shut off the bluetooth. High battery drain again. Phone got hot and everything is VERY sluggish.
Shut down, cleared the cache again. Will see what happened.
Is there a way to go BACK to previous stock ROM WITHOUT factory reset?
Found out the issue, it was Oculus update which caused the issue. Looks like the bug caused the "Oculus Room" to install it self over and over again. I manually ran the Oculus home app, and it prompted me to update, which I did and it appear to have fixed the issue.
Flash your decice with version from sammobile.com
I have this exact same problem, posted about it yesterday but had no help.
I don't have Oculus on my phone though. But phone behaves for a most of the day, then does as the OP describes, still cant see why, but its only since the update.

HI Everyone
I've been having problems with the device within a few hours of getting it. I should have returned it to the store within the first 30 days but due to having all my apps installed and suspecting it was a software issue that would be resolved in a software update, I persisted with it.
The symptoms are that the device randomly locks up and is completely unresponsive and can't be unlocked. The only thing to do is press all four buttons and reboot it. When it locks up, the AOD is visible but the time has stopped. When I call the S7 from another handset, it does nothing and on the other handset I get a network message saying that I'm not available. Sometimes it seems to snap out of after 10 minutes, and other times I can leave it for hours and it doesn't change until I force it to reboot.
I've tried a factory reset and not installing any apps at all, everything stock except adding my Google account and connecting it to Wifi. No customisation, I've not changed the wallpaper, ringtones, nothing. But the issue persists.
Its been back to the store for a signal test due the issue being logged incorrectly as a signal issue. It passed the signal test and has had the latest firmware installed but the problem happened again today. I left the device for over an hour whilst I driving and then forced it to restart.
Has anyone else experienced a similar issue?
I've used 2 different ROMS, AOSP extended and Pure Nexus. I've tried using custom kernels and with the default one that comes with the ROM. I've tried going into safe mode. But my phone still randomly reboots. I found that it restarts much more often when I open the Google Maps App, and sometimes camera app too.
Unlike other people, the phone can stay on for a long time if I don't touch it and just keep it in my pocket; it doesn't reboot.
Is it a software or hardware problem? Is it because I am trying to use Android 7 on it?
My phone rebooted during two consecutive nights, a few days ago. It happened between 6 and 7 in the morning, while the phone was lying on my desk, in flight mode. I always put my phone (and previous phones) in flight mode when I go to sleep. Battery usage showed how long ago the reboot took place. The first time my battery was drained from 50% to 20%, second time it didn't (stayed around 80%). I made a TWRP backup, and planned to restore a backup from a few weeks back. Due to lack of time I didn't do that. The reboots didn't happen after that.
The first reboot was after I installed GlassWIre in the afternoon. I uninstalled it after the first reboot. So far I have no idea what caused the reboots.
My phone is on stock 6.1 with january 2017 security patches, and is rooted.
This is a weird one.
No problems until I switched my SIM out (went to a different carrier) and since then any app that tried to access the GPS causes a reboot.
Read that I should change my APN type to "default,mms" so I did so and rebooted, have not had any issue since.
