AT&T Nougat is here - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

Just checked and there is a 1588 MB update. Should be Nougat!! The download is S L O W!

It is
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71077765&postcount=9

Downloading it here as well. A little nervous that there might still be bugs, but that's expected with every x.0 Android rollout.

Running smooth as silk on mineso far. Update and install took about 30-40 min total. I'm running the T-Mobile FW on it as well. Seems really snappy so far and just started playing around about 10 minutes ago. Dig it a lot so far! No bugs so far but of course it's the T-Mo update as well so we'll see

I've been running the BQA4 since it dropped on the servers for what seems like months now (but has only been 1). Not a single glitch at all for me

i think i read its QA6

Mine is official OTA from AT&T. Build number is NRD90M.G935AUCU4BQA6

Mine is official from T-Mo. I have the AT&T variant bit running tmo FW. I gotta admit everything has been snappy as hell. Been a couple hours and I'm still finding subtle changes. Also the Google Assistant style in Google Now is active.

Still full of bloat?

Just got same update at about 1.5 GB

I just got the same deal about 1.5 GB, very slow download. I'll try and post a screenshot of the details when download completes. About time AT&T !!

Its just the BQA6 version that has been out for a while.

Not sure is this helps but here is what could capture

Anyone know if you need to uninstall Good Lock to install or run Nougat? I'm assuming it hasn't been updated to work with it.
Grr... Yet another update that failed to complete. Reset device having it download again. Doesn't matter now whether Good Lock needed to get uninstalled since it went away anyway.

Arghh... three failed installs; have wiped phone with apps restoring and then wiped and skipped everything; tried another wipe including wipe cache and it stopped at 31% under the death star logo.
Anyone have an Odin version of this? Guessing this is going to be the only way this is going to work for me.

CSC
Can someone upload the new CSC ?

So... just realized, the unreleased Nougat was also QA6, does anyone know if that is the same update and can at least be attempted from recovery?

my device got the update last night, seems fine so far, but it's not even one day in.
Only "loss" so far that I've seen is the "My Places" edge panel. Going to miss that.

2 gig update to add Milk Music. Awesome.
In all seriousness, haven't noticed any changes yet.
Got it as well when I plugged into my laptop running the VZW updater.
BOF1
Didn't get a capture of the original kernel info.
The Milk app is only 12MB so one would have to assume there was far more updated.
anyone else take this upgrade? im downloading it now, just hopefully it doesn't cause any performance issues!
I checked for update on my phone and nothing

I haven't noticed anything different. I disabled milk music as soon as saw it. Other than that no change at all. Weird! However, 5.1 will be rolling out the end of the month.. Long over due!
I just finished d/ling and updating via Smart Switch (Kies) as well - no noticeable changes here either. The only differences I notice are the Baseband & Build versions now end in BOF1, and of course the addition of Milk - which was promptly disabled. For some reason - under Options>System Updates says 'Software update is temporarily unavailable" when I tap it now. Will keep checking to see if I can find anything else...
No changes here either, although the kernel version seems to be a little different. Also this app that I circled, doesn't look familiar at all.
Just found something new. When using chrome if I go to droid life or yahoo.com, the status bar turns pink or purple. Never did that before.
Edit: never mind! Didn't realize that once you turned off the merge tabs part, or goes away. That's dumb.

Yes, to get your update, pull your battery, restart your pc and try again. No matter though you will get the update again. As I stated before, 5.1 will be rolling out towards the of month. Be patient, because droid Turbo just received the update this past week.

I was previously on 5.0.2 on my UK S6 Edge sim free and yesterday I got this 5.1.1 update.
No idea if it's the standard 5.1.1 or the updated one that fixes the memory and battery leaks.

That's BOGB, so the latest 5.1.1.
Too early to say for sure if this fixes all my issues with my S6E but, after 24 hours running it, it does seem better than any of the other S6E builds I've used.

That's cool. It's difficult for me to say as I never got the update to the first 5.1.1 and was stuck on 5.0.2 and only yesterday did i get the update to 5.1.1
But so far battery life seems to be on par with 5.0.2 and I do notice that unlocking the lock screen and going into the home screen seems a tad faster.
is it worth to loose root? cos i'm still on 5.02 with Root Exploit [email protected] and i use Titanium Backup a lot
Battery seems to be better on mine since the update

Beta registration has opened up again!

As the tile says.
woot.. i was able to sign up.. now waiting for the beta to be available to download...
I'm in now and downloading. Just go into settings and check for an update - it should be there. I'm on TMO in the US.
Not showing up for me, do you happen to be in the UK? I read that the beta opens up for US users later this week.
Got in!
Downloading now...
Edit: this build is noticeably faster and if battery life really does improve this build and android overall has come so very far. Awesome!

Hmm, maybe its just taking longer to get the update for some people.
I went completely stock today to ensure there wouldn't be any issues. After it downloaded the November security update,I manually checked to see if yjete was another uodate,and the beta was waiting to download.
Maybe any of you guys can root after downloading update and share the ota file with others.. Only if rooting doesnt delete any user data..

I'm thinking those of us on beta 7.1.1 may have to roll back to 7.0 to catch OTA but not sure. Good question.. I'm gonna roll back and try and force update, no luck for me thus far on beta 711.. I'll report back later..

Hit the check now button to check manually, even if it already did automatically you can find the update manually.
Do anyone know if stock nexus builds support f2fs, and if, for which partitions? (I've done some mild google'ing on the topic with no definite answers).

Any word on the Bluetooth issue from DP1+DP2 going away?
I had the beta 7.1, and had not received the official OTA.
my wife also has a 5X, but on 7.0, she got the notification the day after I read that they were rolling it out "in the next few weeks"
so I updated hers, then un-enrolled my device and as soon as I restarted mine I got the notification for 7.1.1
So far life is good with it, nothing major
the 2 things I am most peeved about is no Daydream VR and still have the Google search bar front and center (figuratively)
I enrolled my Nexus 5X in the beta program and when I try to side load the official 7.1.1 release it gives me an error: "Can't install this package over newer build. Installation aborted". Is there any significant change taking about stability and battery from the DP2 and the official release? Thanks!
Got the update to stock 7.0 few days ago. This is the fastest I have ever received any android update.
Did not even check manually for updates as I was not expecting this to be available or few weeks!

January 2, 2017 Software Update

This morning, my Note received a rather large software update that installed without many problems. Most likely certain security updates, but I was surprised to receive it as we are not really "accustomed" to any attention from Samsung for this tablet. Any further comments from anybody else?
I got the same.

Sorry for the misspelling. I meant to say "without any problems" not "without many problems". In fact, the whole update process was smooth and fast. Everything works fine. I understand, however, that everyone's setup is different and my experience should not be the absolute rule.
Nothing here on my device. Although it might be because I'm in Sweden.
Did anyone see any changes? I dont see/feel anything other than the version number change even the security patch level date remained the same. Is there a changelog somewhere

I've seen this post for a few days but not had time to respond till now.
I've got an SM-P605v. Haven't seen, or been able to download the update you've mentioned. This may be because I don't use Verizon as my connectivity partner, or it may be that my particular tablet's OS doesn't need the security updates that yours did.

I also have a SM-P605V but have Verizon as my carrier. I got the notification to update today. I don't see anything on VZW site about it nor under the specific SKU on SamMobile (still has 10/15/15 as the last official update). When looking at the SM-P605 model, there are some in the list (even today's date), though they are for non-USA countries.
Even so, it looks like they are still all Android 5.1.1, so it's likely just some minor tweaks. To my understanding, you would need to pop in an activated Verizon SIM to get the update for your specific tablet, as Verizon is the one that issues it. You can also wait until it's posted on SamMobile and manually do it. https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-P605V/

You should be able to flash this now that Sammobile posted it... https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-P605V/
I got this a couple of days ago - managed to odin flash after I put the wrong file and got the boot loader triangle a day before.
Its extremely stable and the tablets working like a dream - the only issue is no root.
Edit: I noticed a great improvement in battery management and it will charge to 100% from 30% in 4 hours before I flashed the 5.1.1 rom it took nearly 8 hours with a new(second hand) USB Flex connector and nearly 20 hours with the old usb flex connector to go from 30% to 100%.
I really like this tablet - it reminds me so much of my SM-N910F note 4.

Probably just a security update
Please excuse my silly question but I have P600 with 5.1.1 and never rooted. Do I need to install twrp before I update or it doesn't matter? Updates always make me uneasy with locking bootloader or needing new root methods.
If you just want to update then flash with Odin and the appropriate file. Try looking at sammobile.com for the appropriate rom file.
If you want root then you will need to install a custom recovery using CF auto or Twerp - the latter will NOT work on the SM-605v version as the bootloader is locked and will result in the yellow triangle and stating that the tablet has a strange recovery and that you should see a verizon technician. By installing the recovery you can then update the system or even try out new roms created by the people of this wonderful community.
Rooting will potentially stop business application with built in security from working - i.e. HSBC application, Virgin Media app and Sky Movies apps will not work on rooted phones to name a few.
I updated and rooted and everything is working ok. I had trouble with 64gb Sandisk microsd with "sd card unexpectedly removed" error. Then it mount itself back. Sometime it shows empty and asks to format and sometime it works. Also the lockscreen flicker and that usually when the card error happened. I suspect they are related and it happens only when waking up the device. The card works fine with all my other devices including my note 4 on stock 5.1.1. I'm not sure what caused it because I just used this sd card with the note 10.1 and then updated and rooted all in the same day.
Anyway, I removed the Sandisk and now I'm using 32gb Samsung and it only happened once for maybe 12 hours (could have been 100 times with Sandisk). Also, I don't notice the lockscreen flickering anymore. I will see if this problem comes back or it just that Sandisk doesn't play well my note. I have seen many people here reported similar problem with other Samsung devices for too many reasons. I don't believe file format is the issue but I'm using exFAT.
