Nougat Issues - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer

I just reverted to T-Mobile firmware so I could upgrade to 7.0, since then I've noticed some issues.
I can't use my photos to change my wallpaper, or for the AID.
I can't go to the settings for the camera.
I've had some screen freezing when trying to change the notifications.
Has anyone else had similar issues, or are there other problems I should look out for?

My wife's phone is stock and I took the OTA for 7.0. I checked the camera settings and they are fine.
I'm wondering if you might need to flash the update again. If you do, you should wipe davlik and cache to make sure nothing got left behind.

I'd hate to do everything over again. I can't imagine how I screwed up either. I ODINed the T-Mobile files, and when the phone restarted, it updated to 7.0 automatically.

When I checked smart switch, it didn't have an upgrade listed. But the phone did. This tells me that it was a TMO update. Since you flashed tmo files, I'm assuming the ones listed in T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion, it should have taken. OTA is considered a dirty flash in that it doesn't wipe everything. Flashing with odin wipes everything. I'm just wondering if it didn't wipe everything the way it should.
The other possibility is after you updated, you loaded something that nougat doesn't like. If you do reflash, once it is done, do the bare minimum setup. Then try the items you listed that were a problem. If everything works ok, then you know it is something that got installed after the update. During the initial setup process, I never allow it to restore from another device, or samsung account. I get it setup as a new phone and then reboot. See how everything is working, then use smart switch to restore. If anything is missing, I go to the play store and download. Yes, it's a pain, but I've never had any issues.

So what you're saying is download the nougat files and install through odin. Gotcha ?

I should have asked, have you rebooted since the update? There were some things like wifi calling and video calling that were missing after the OTA update. On reboot, it was all back. Try a reboot first. If things still aren't working, reflash.
If you previously backed up your apps and docs and images, etc., with smart switch before the update, then use that one when you restore.
Be sure though that after you do the odin flash, do a minimal setup. Then reboot. Then check everything out. If it is all good, do the restore from smart switch.
Good luck. Let me know how it goes.

Will do, thank you.

The keyboard is what has me the most annoyed, it is not as good as it was in Marshmallow. I have the Auto Predictive text Auto replace languages English, and Spanish. Back on Marshmallow, there was no need to switch between languages, you just had to type in either one, and the keyboard itself would switch automatically. And on Nougat, that doesn't happen anymore. I loved that feature on MM. Does anyone else have that problem? is there a way to install the MM Samsung keyboard on Nougat? or is there a solution?

Ok, I finally redid the whole thing, and as you suggested, everything works now. Thanks for your help mate.

Awesome!

Seriously all I'm waiting for is the Note 8

Should have posted this here... (oh well)
Has anyone else with generic quick charge 2.0 car chargers notice they are not "quick charging" anymore since the nougat upgrade?
I've got a couple of generic ones from ebay in my cars and they worked on the S7E using MM and still work on the note 4. But on the S7E after N7.0 update they aren't quick charging, they are just charging. (does that make sense?)

S-Voice crashing

Has anyone else had an issue with s-voice not working? Mine opens fine, takes the voice command, acknowledges it, and then black screen and crash. I've rooted and disabled all the AT&T labeled apps in TiBu and that's it. Any input on troubleshooting would be great!

That's exactly your issue by experience, you can't disable chatOn, somehow it is needed food S voice to work, if you removed them you still need to restore with Kies or Odin, if you didn't remove them, then unfreeze them.
Yeah I had removed them in TiBu and then restored them, but the problems persist. Right after I posted the thread I read another with the same problem. So, right now I'm in the middle of a reset.

Tryng to restore them after been removed doesn't work , like I mentioned before, the same happened to me, it seems that once you remove them something gets corrupted in the shared apps and it doesn't get fixed restoring those apps back in order to fox you must restore with Kies or Odin. but don't worry, you won't lose your data, settings and apps, you will get all the original apps back just re-root, and this time just remove the rest but these ones.

WiFi connected but not working

A couple days ago my WiFi(on my note 3 only) has started randomly disconnecting. It still says connected though. When I try to go to the play store or browser it won't connect. I tried to see if it was my WiFi connection, but its not the problem. All other devices work fine. It's just my note 3. I dropped it a couple days ago. Could that have messed up WiFi antenna? Also I'm only using the note 3 as a WiFi only device. It has no data plan.

Try deleting updates to and re installing google play services again. You can get it at apk mirror. Check the parenthesis matches your device before you install it.
If you are rooted and have used luckypatcher to patch an ingame purchase you need to get rid of the record of the patch within luckypatcher.
Otherwise you are looking at a reset with odin. If this doesn't solve it then the device is faulty.

I know this is way late but I ended up wiping data and going back to the rooted stock rom. The problem was still there. I didn't bother uprooting or doing it through odin. Didn't bother with the hassle. Pretty sure it was a hardware problem.

Do you installed any root wifi app?
It happened to my after restoring the passwords (binary files)
Get a new official ROM and flash it, you don't have anything to lose.
I hope it helps.

Yeah I did that. Tried 3 different roms. It's random but it happened often. Wifi stayed connected but wasn't working. I think it was my antenna

Yeah I went back to stock. Via twrp backup. Stock apps and everything. Same problem. Still think it was a hardware problem.

Something wierd is going on.

i checked manually for upates, 15 minutes ago. It showed me that an system update is avaible.
Update installed, rebooted and here starts the wierd things.
-Phone boots up but the only thing im able to access is the ''edge'' bar where is the edge people and other fun features.
-Pressing volume button down will bring the boot menu with : reboot, shutdown etc..
-Tried to boot in safe mode. no luck, only the safe mode bar appears in the left.
-Wiping cache, no luck.
-Not rooted. Stock.
Only thing that i installed outside the play store is the samsung lab application wich is shared here in the forums because its not avaible for s6 edge+ for some reason in the samsung's app store.
I managed to boot in recovery mode and this text took my attention : mmb29k.g928fxxs3bqa9 (frimware codename?) 6.0.1 android version
Made factory reset, works now but lots of important data (pictures, music etc..) lost in that.
I made an google search with mmb29k.g928fxxs3bqa9 and found nothing.
(edit: In the download folder, there seems to be a file with the rom build number/number)
Yeah I had the same problem, posted about it in the general forum. I flashed another stock ROM ontop of it from Sammobile and it saved me from doing the factory reset.

they are still sharing it.
Someone who's phone updated correctly needs to make these guys a firmware they can flash back with Odin otherwise they won't be able to find anything that works. (no downgrades allowed)
Make sure you backup what you can. Export contacts, everything on Phone when you connect your computer can be copied in/out, if you didn't know. App data will have to be individually backed up.

"download pending" in play store even tho nothing else is downloading....

i tried restarting and it didnt work
Force close play store and open it again

Guys, an easier way is this. Just turn on Battery Saver mode and your update or download will start immediately...

You can also delete Google Play Services cache, this works pretty well in those cases. Even if you have problems trying to download a device system update.
Even it's data (in this case you'll have to add an account for Google's data backup again).
However, keep in mind this kind of processes won't work well if you have enabled apps, device features or Magisk modules that force device to save battery in some way.

Would be good to tell us which system you've installed.
Any custom ROM? Are you in stock?
On the first case, check ROM installation.
If it came with gapps preinstalled, better flash an updated version of that ROM (clean or dirty would change, depending of Android major verion in which that update is based), otherwise flash another gapps, I use OpenGapps.Try to flash, at least, nano gapps.
If you're on stock, things are quite different, since there you haven't the same way so solve things, more than than reflashing firmware.

Stock Android One version 9 (Pie) with regular updates. :silly:
Looks like something is screwed up there.
Is your device rooted?
I feel that would be better to backup your data and flash latest firmware with Mi Flasher tool.
The same is happening some times and on my A1 and is fully updated stock rom without root or any other thing...
I think it has to do with the latest version of Google store or Google services...

Stuck on 'Phone is starting' after updating to Android 12

Hello!
I tried to update my phone (SM-G975U) via Odin from Android 9 to Android 12, got the firmware from SamFw.com. Everything went fine until the phone rebooted, after unlocking the phone gets stuck on 'phone is starting'. I CAN access the Set Up Menu, Uninstall apps, move some settings here and there, connect to Wifi/Bluetooth, receive calls, install apps using ADB. Also, theres a notification all the time that reads 'Phone restarted Unlock your phone to get app notifications', I'm assuming that the phone thinks it is not unlocked and that's why it doesn't fully boot up.
Some things that I've already tried:
Intalling another Launcher (Pixel Launcher)
Reinstalling the firmware (ver G975USQU6IVC7) / Trying with different CSC with no results
Wiping Cache in Recovery Mode
Deleting/Adding Fingerprints
Changing from Lock Pattern to NIP to Password
I don't really want to do the full wipe, I would like to keep my data or be able to export the photos (Device not Recognized by Smart Switch also)
Is there anything else I can do?, has anyone been through the same issue?

Hi !
@DannOsnaya have you found a solution to the phone problem other than restoring to factory settings?
I have the same problem at the moment, almost identical to what you experienced.
If anyone has some advice on how to fix this problem, please share your advice.

Nothing works. Now decided to show it to anyone. I guess the mobile shops have an option to erase everything. I don't understand how did it happen because it's usually with my toddler, he might have done something.

I followed a video and wiped out. Finally successful. I wasn't worried about data as Google has a backup.
I followed this method and finally it's factory reset.
