OS upgrade to 5.1.1, still don't know what the stagefreight security patch is. Looks like they forgot to mention the OS upgrade in the notes

That was to patch the link sent via messages and when you opened the video it would "harm the system" and if you used hangouts, it would automatically harm it due to hangout opening the video ahead of time for quicker viewing. It was an issue within the core of Android, not the OEM, itself and has been a 'vulnerability' for quite some time but was just exposed not too long ago.
Got the Patch and the 5.1.1 update, good deal.
Please report back the responsiveness and overall feel. I just might make the leap if they got Lolliflop right with this update.

Well it does seem much more responsive. The optimizing apps process was painfully slow. My GPS puts me in Virginia though and I live in MA. Hopefully after it settles it will update itself.
Edit: GPS is good now.

Well it does seem that GPS only works on power saving mode. I like to use GPS only mode in location settings so I set it to that and will leave it alone for a while to see what happens. Is this happening to anyone else?

The GPS location error is definitely sprint, had this problem for years where it would put me at Burbank, CA when I live in Las Vegas, NV. However when travelling to a different area of Vegas, that seemed to put me in Las Vegas. Now when at home it puts me at Dana Point, CA. Lol.
I did a test, had at least 20+ apps running, pressed the recent apps key, and it opened immediately. Usually with that heavy activity, I would be waiting anywhere from 15-30 seconds to pop up. One thing I am waiting to see is if it freezes on me. Had a few instances where apps were making the screen not respond. Seems much faster with the update though.

Going to install and try to root. Will post back.

I've been running it for the past few hours. GPS works and the BT audio bug looks to have been fixed. The UI is smooth as glass. Has Sammy/Sprint finally gotten it right?

I tried to root, and phone rebooted but said su binary was missing. Tried routing with su in twrp and bootlooped. Tried reinstalling bof5 and can't go back. Going to install rom through twrp and wait for stock rooted.

Downloading now! In Southern CA.

So you can flash TWRP via Odin right? I would not care too much about not being to flash back to OF5 since I have a phone that lags severely after a few days of running stock OF5. I would just want the ability to flash CM12.1.

SD card Wiped
Did the 5.1.1 and my SD card was mostly wiped. Pics and music gone. Funny thing is, some things are still there such as carbon backup files. I'm not exactly thrilled.

5.1.1 kills cf-auto root... It did the same with the note edge.. Kernel exploit is the only way to root..

Loving the new updage so far. Not laggy at all. Now for the battery test.

just my luck i decided to root OF5 last night!
Are my only options to
1) odin stock unrooted of5
2) wait till the new update is available to flash?
if i do option 1 will i lose all my data on the phone? thanks

I odined stock unrooted OF5 and it's getting the OTA update now. So that works.

Phone feels much snappier. Recent apps menu opens instantly. Camera seems to open a bit faster.
Are we not going to get RAW support like the newer phones are getting? Thats some BS if not.

Lost data on calls.

Have 4g when not on call. 1x on call. I have a us unlocked running on verizon. Latest twrp. Have tried Venom and ice. Loafing leesroid now to try. Advanced calling also messed up. I have no wifi calling option. Called verizon and all turned on. Have tried format data. Not sure what to try next. I'm s-off and unlocked. Any ideas?

Also when I ran ice was first time I got video options on call. Grayed out tho. I'm sure I missed something but can't find it.

Remove VOLTE/Advanced calling from your account. Flash the RUU. Factory reset using the stock recovery. Activate advanced calling from the phone itself (not the online verizon portal). Reboot phone after 5 minutes. Test.

So, go to website. Remove advanced calling and anything volte related. Then do phone and let phone reactivate everything? Just want to be clear. I respect your advice and have used your stuff on my phone for awhile.

No luck. Turned off everything. Wiped phone. Formated data. Used your ruu.exe to flash. Still 1x on calls and no advanced calling. Activated using phone only once rebooted. Any ideas?

With stock software lost the video option on all. Was always grayed out anyway. And when rebooted the option to activate was grayed out. Did not get the verizon page to activate like on ice rom.

Did it all again. This time worked better. Got new activation pages never had before. About activating after 5 minutes. Did that. Says added new features. But 1x still on calls and no video options on calls.

So after using dottat ruu.exe for . 22 and seems like after it settled I have volte working again along with wifi calling. Never seen a toast before that I was on wifi calling. Also HD calling working. No notifications for HD buy can hear the difference when I call people who have edge 7 and iPhone 6. Still running complete stock setup and hoping will stay when I flash Venom. Doing a backup for sure first. Still no video calling.

Good deal.. I'm strongly believing that the VZW/HTC volte issues have finally been put to rest. This was a problem on the m9 as well and is no longer.

I've tried this 5 times with a couple different ruu's with no luck. I first noticed this happening after I tried flashing leedroid nougat Rom and got no service on it so I restored my backup and got service but no data on calls, just 1x. When I go to the vpn, in the list of bearers, mine just shows ehrpd and LTE. My gf pixel shows gprs, ehrpd, hsupa, hspap, hspa, hsdpa, LTE, umts, and edge. The rest of the vpn settings are the same. I have also noticed when I go into settings, about, network that it sometimes shows "3107" in the operator section. Any other ideas?

camera issues afher root

i recently root my tmo s7 edge, and had to fix a lot of things before it can be used fine, ´cos it was lag a lot, i use trickster mod to set the cpu governor to interactive, app disabler to disable the bloatware , amplify for optimize the battery life, buid.prop to fix the wifi issue, and the phone is almost fine, and i say almost because it is still lag from time to time and the battery drains a little bit faster than stock, but the real problem is the camera, it lag a lot when i tried to take photos and even more withe the front facing camera, do you guys have the same issue or it´s just me???

Its me as well.......I have to use smartmanager to clean up all processes before I can use snapchat.

Stock will not fix it. As I am STOCK but even the latest APG1 update didn't fix the horrible LAG with the front camera. Back not so much but the front is horrible.

I've never rooted my s7 edge. I've been tempted but don't want bad battery life as it is more vital to me then root, the camera issues have been around for some time. International has had a fix for it but tmobile has yet to push this fix. Unless everyone elses camera is fine (selfie) then I guess I should do a factory reset.

oh, i even´t noticed that before i rooted the phone, and im not very sure about it, but i don´t remember the front camera was this laggy before rooting, i just know that the phone went full retard when rooted, and only get to the pseudo solution when i watch a video of max lee on youtube explaining the issue.

Yes.......I'm going to try forcing the camera app to stay in memory so the needed ram is already allotted to it even when clearing other apps from memory.

Where are we here? Is this an issue for a lot of people after root, or isolated?

Mine works fine without the wipe.

I was just sharing my experience as I just got the phone the day before. I had the phone all set up it was working fine on Android 6.0.1. I upgraded to the beta for nougat Android 7.0 and immediately my phone kept rebooting every 30 seconds or little bit longer. Once I realized the data I have not had any issues at all.

I downloaded the app this afternoon, did the registration, went into my setting and checked for an update and it downloaded nougat. The one thing I have found is that Bluetooth sucks! Seriously my music breaks up with it just in my pocket and I'm wearing Bluetooth headphones. Then I took it out of my pocket and put it on the counter and I can't get 5 feet away from the phone and the music breaks up again. Prior to the update I could go to the gym, put my phone down and be a good 40 feet away and it would still work fine.

Thanks to this thread I installed the beta Nougat OS.
Nothing bad so far. I did NOT wipe or remove data.
So far, I really like it. The SoTP meter says it's faster. Only thing that doesn't work so far is my Agenda Widget. Love the improved AOD. Battery seems to last a little longer, but not enough experience to say definitively. I did notice that the phone was warm when at 100% this morning. Haven't seen that since the update that stopped us charging to 100% (even though the display said it was).
The options in Settings are better- much better control of notifications.
I'll post more as I discover it.

Sprint users were part of the beta too, so it shouldn't be like rollouts in the past. Although I don't understand why we've been testing 7.0 and the final is supposed to be 7.1.1, unless Sprint stays on 7.0.

If sammy sends them 7.1.1 them that's what we will get. 7.1.1 isn't that much different from 7.0 just a few features added like app menu short cuts which wouldnt take much for them to add in the final release .I really dnt get how beta is over with all bugs not fixed. I personality still have an issue with Youtube videos not working after some time. Notification tones stop working after some time. No factory reset or caches clear has fixed this in the whole beta process.

S7 Has Terrible Modem

I rarely get over 2 or 3 bars on my AT&T S7. Wife's old Note 4 can get a signal when my S7 gets nothing but O NOTHING... Seems S7 has a problem to me. Anyone else noticed this with another phone getting signal at same place??

I notice it here and there, I'll be going down the street with friends playing music and it will stop and I'll notice my signal is super low and I cannot load anything while all their iPhones have no problem playing music and browsing social media. It's a real bummer.

They are included in the firmware packages you download from sammobile or updating. The CP file is the radio/modem file. Google is your friend for instructions and or procedure on flashing a different radio/modem.
