3.1 Acer Official Update Changelog:

First I want to thank thor2002ro for ClockworkMod Recovery and making flashing and updating fast, easy and safe, also vache for providing 3.1 update, sc2k for an easy and quick way to root any version of the A500, last but not least Interphaze Solutions (whoever he is) for the Acer Recovery Installer.
I just updated (from stock 1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3 to 4.010.22_COM_GEN1) IT works, no wifi issues, GPS now takes a lot to get location, and seeing a lot of performance improvements and fixes, was late and delayed 5 times but here it is and we are enjoying it.
Thus I wonder why no one even bothers to make a change log or something... like all the changes and improvements:
Acer_ A500_4.010.22_COM_GEN1 Applies to all Android 3.1 Acer Official Updates, OTA or Leaked (installed yourself).
New Apps
Kobo
eBook store and eBook reader
Movie Studio
Video editor
Updated Apps
Youtube
Moved fullscreen button, HD button, play button, slower double tap needed to go fullscreen/back higher performance, Cache fixed and higher cache, doesn't stutters/chops/drop frames at start or when OSD shows up (volume, controls, etc).
Flash 10.3
Music
Better looking, UI improvements, it finally updates, Google Music Beta
MusicA
Better looking, UI improvements, lots, better "listening" (now it can identify Japanese music played through my phone, SWEET).
NFS Shift
Icon changed, now is more visible and have HD on it, who knows what else is changed
Improvements/Fixes
UI is faster, more responsive, doesn't stutters like before.
Wifi Icon in notification bar now shows net activity.
Support for ACC+ streaming (or whatever uses winamp in shoutcast radio streams).
720p videos play smoothly, some 1080p videos too (simple profile ones I think, needs confirmation).
New Video Codecs Support, now MKV videos plays with Mobo Player (didn't worked before).
Video intro for games pre installed now always plays (before they crashed, but didn't force close the game)
Auto-brightness works now, it just changed its behavior, its not longer "instant", takes a while.
Recurring Issues
Randomly waking up/screen turns on
Mic still SUCKS (srly did Acer even test it by recoding someones voice and playing it back just to hear how well/awful sounds?)
New Issues
GPS wasn't broken, now it is (can see 7 sats but only onle lock after 2min and really poor signal)... maybe has something to do with GEN3 now updated to GEN1 thus missing something, can someone confirm.
Youtube widget is micro and deformed, there is a fix here in XDA.
New bloatware, or at least more packet, includes 2 songs and 2 videos (maybe 720p haven't checked) to show off in retails maybe.
You can help to make this a lot more complete, please contribute, post your discoveries, findings or changes you noticed.
And finally excuse my crappy english, as you can easily tell its not my native language, any correction and recommendations are very welcome.

Reserved for more space (I got this recomendation from a friend thank you).
Plus bump

Google+
"Huddle" is installed when installing Google+, which does *not* cone pre-installed on 3.1 - sounds like you already had it there. Installing Google+ creates two shortcuts - Google+ and Huddle
Speaking of, if anyone wants a Google+ invite, dm me - I got a few to burn

Huddle is part of the Google+ mobile app. It's for group chats.
* damn, someone beat me to posting this by a few minutes... serves me right for not refreshing

I also updated the "Vache" way from stock 1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3 to 4.010.22_COM_GEN1.
One problem - now seems to be fixed - I had on 1.141.01 was the following :
Could only connect to our company (outsourced) Exchange-Server 2007 via IMAP whereby whenever I would forward a message, the forwarded-message would "loose" the original content when send. .
I did try and (bought) Touchdown TAB, which is great, but for some reason does not allow me to retrieve/sync older messages.
Marcher

speaking of the autobrightness
Seems to only work if I set brightness to a level in the middle and reboot. Once I touch the slider again no auto bright until reboot. Any fix for this anyone is aware of?

After a while I noticed that auto brightness WORKS!!!, but its no longer "instanly", it takes awhile, give it a minute.
To test it try to put half brightness then turn on auto brightness, after a while turn off auto brightness and BOOM goes the light, so it works just changed its behavior bad auto brightness, bad
Thank you all for your contributions, updating ASAP!

I think two things mentioned in the OP *could* be hardware issues. I'm on my third A500 after returning the second one because the microphone would barely pick up my voice. This new one records my voice rather well, but voice to text is still a bit spotty (I blame the google servers for that). Another thing I have noticed is that the auto brightness on this unit actually works quite well whereas on the older unit it barely worked, if at all. I can change the brightness all the way up or down, turn the auto on and within a second or two it sets it to something more appropriate. If I cover the sensor the display dims, if I hold it towards the window it brightens. It works like an auto brightness should work. I still have 3.01 on the new unit and am waiting for the OTA update to come, whenever that is...
The second unit was manufactured in may, this unit is manufactured in april. I suggest if you have concerns about auto brightness and microphone, see if you can test another one at the store.
One question for those having issues with the microphone and auto brightness? Did you apply a screen protector? If so, was it a wet application type?

My new A500 has an auto brightness that seems to work perfectly. I tried what you said and it still works ok. The unit I returned a few days ago had a bad microphone and the auto brightness didn't seem to work well - or at all.

We recomend you to do a back up first, update to 4.010.22 and after a while acer tells you theres a new update 4.010.30, thats it, you're updated and good to go, 100% stock... I still recommend a custom rom, they rock.

I have a hunch that there might be a problem if these are available for download freely...
remember before when increment updates are specific to what rom you're currently started from ??
users might just download the latest "increments" ... I wondered if that might screw up their device due to incompatibility ( starting rom build number )
???

I'm quoting myself from another thread:
Well, I installed CWM, acer recovery, rooted and went from 3.0 (from stock 1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3 - 4.010.22_COM_GEN1) to 3.1 (.22), then unrooted to go for .30, rooted, got .38, updated (didn't need to unroot, didn't need to root again).
The history of my life

And I think the issues (reboot frozen) was due acer recovery or CWM... software highly experimental is prone to fail time to time... And nothing that a factory reset plus unnistalling recovery and cwm doesn't fix. I think but don't bet on it.

I got the Android 3.1 OTA update last night. I'm in Australia and my new build is Acer_A500.4.010.40_COM_GEN1
Wonder what the difference is?
As well as getting Kobo (which I don't want as I already have Kindle) I also got Zinio in the update, which "allows" me to buy magazine subscriptions which I can't get on my Kindle because Amazon won't sell them to me in Oz.
So far (less than 24 hours) everything seems to be okay except that Kaiten mail seems to be stuck somewhere. Dunno if its related.

not happy with jelly bean

ok, so few days ago I updated my note to official samsung ota jb release. After updating I did not see much improvement, apps open/close faster, not sure if they actually do or is it just faster animation then there is some blocking mode in the settings which is like a new feature, also virtual keyboard is easier to move around the screen, so this is the good stuff, now the bad.
I have haptic feedback off or I HAD, now everytime time I move icons tablet vibrates, also when shutting down. How do I completely swith it off? also notifications, I have spen detection swithed off, now everytime I remove spen the ugly notification appears informing me i just removed spen and stays in the notifications menu... unnesesary and a waste of screen space?
The notification menu is a mess now, it can now scroll up and down
also when shutting down ugly message appears telling me the tablet is shuting down
also had to download from internet and install additional keyboard language, when previously just had to set it in options and that was all
is it possible to bring back the old look and feel while keeping the new features(the butter thingy and a new keyboard)?

No. And a lot of the changes you're referencing are between Android 4.0.4 and 4.1 and have nothing to do with Samsung's implementation of JB. Some features are changed in the OS, Samsung's apps (EG: S Note, the Gallery), and the behavior of some functions, settings, and apps are different too. ICS to JB on the Note was a big overhaul so I wouldn't expect another one during the Note's lifespan; future changes are likely to be simple tweaks. So things that are gone are gone and things we have aren't likely to change significantly. If you want ICS back search on "Odin" and follow the instructions.

Cant I do a factory reset? or my original firmware is no more?

When you update the new s/w becomes your recovery so if you reset it'll still be JB. You can download the ICS version for your region from Samsung-Updates or Samfirmware and install it via Odin.

Reads as a bad update to me unless JB is a special firmware for you .
Wipe phone and as said flash stock rom .
Or contact Samsung service centre .

Its not that a tablet is unusable, everything works fine, its because with ics it was all nice and tidy and now with jb its annoying with its excesive notifications. To me it feels a bit like a step back.

Do what I did, buy an extra pen and a case that will hold it. Make sure that power saving for pen is disabled,
Use the new pen and leave the old on in it's slot. Since you don't remove it, then it doesn't notify, but all works with the new one

Ive got the case already, but the extra pen idea is sweet, also because the original pen while works well feels a bit cheap and plastic(also too small and too thin and has no eraser).
What pen did you buy?

I have noticed much of a change myself

ok so another thing I just noticed, when opening youtube links in opera (my current browser, also useragent set to desktop) youtube app launches and it tries to display the vid and in case with several music vids Ive just tried it gives me a message saying that user has not made this vid available for mobile users or smth like that. now wtf is this bullcrap? this has never happened while i was on ics and also the same vids used to work both in the browser and in youtube app. now I am seriously considering a downgrade
Ive disabled youtube app and now when opening a link I get a message that no application is available to open it (and then opera still opens it). I guess I need to change file association thing (which app opens which files so basicly disable youtube app opening links) does anyone know how to do that?
edit: also youtube playback stops when switching to other tab
So I have decided to downgrade, now just have to find original firmware and Iam set.

Wow, some people are never happy, and just need to complain. What about all the other good things, like better multi screen implementation, more apps for multi screen.
Seriously, all those thiings you described are just petty..."also when shutting down ugly message appears telling me the tablet is shuting down:eek".....I really feel for you...must be awful! Come on man, hardly worth getting your knickers in a twist about is it.

You need to "Clear defaults" in each app that you want Android to forget the associations you set.

A couple of people have voiced issues with some of the changes in JB. I share your view; so much is improved that some of Samsung's changes to apps and functions are really minor in comparison. But, look at it this way, some people won't touch a device with an overlay while others swear by them. Different strokes.

You misunderstand, I like updates and I like new things, what I dont like is when features are removed, when I am forced to you use apps which I dont want to use or which dont work (youtube example, alot of music vids are restricted in the app while working perfectly in the browser, haptic feedback, I have it switched off yet the tablet still vibrates when shutting down or when the icons are being rearanged, ok fine but why there isnt a festure to COMPLETELY disable haptic feedback), when completely useless things are added (stupid and more importantly unnecesary notifications eg shutting down, spen removed...)
so yeah bring new and updated firmware not a steaming pile of crap
btw the "clear default" method doesnt work

You realize that a large portion of the forum has been on JB since November. There have been very few issues and pages of threads discussing the benefits of the new features. If what you're reporting as problems were affecting a lot of people there would have been more posts about them. Frankly, I don't really understand what most of your problems are based on the way you described them. I haven't had any YouTube issues since updating to JB in November and don't remember seeing any reported. So in describing the update as a "streaming pile of crap" you're kind of on your on in feeling that way.

It clears app association so it does "work." If it doesn't fix your problem that's another thing. You might want to try a hard reset and start from scratch.

I thought the same thing

I hated jellybean on my galaxy tab 2 7.0. But they did a awesome job of tweaking it for Note 10.1. I get serious battery life. Barely notice jellybean being on it. This tablet is fast and smooth. I love premium suite. I would wipe partition and user data and start again.

s pen
Go into settings and down to s pen, in that menu is an option that says something like change what option when s pen is removed... change it to "nothing"
ps I happen to freaking LOVE this jb update!! It's so great night fast...!

Official Android Nougat Beta Ultimate Review(Installation-Features-Root-Downgrade)

Samsung Galaxy S7 and galaxy S7 edge have got official Android Nougat Beta release ,I've been using this release for about 7 days and I've decided to do
a detailed review to share with you my experience and to help you decide whether to use it as a daily driver or not.
The review is 7 parts
1-Installation
2-Performance
3-Sensors & GPS
4-Battery Life
5-Gaming Performance
6-Features
7-Bugs
1-Installation
you gonna need a windows PC , USB cable and make sure to download the latest ODIN version, All the links are available in the 2nd post
1-Backup all of your data to your PC or SD card cs this procedures will format your internal storage (My recommendation is to use smart switch to do the backup)
2-Make sure that your battery is more than 50 percent
3-turn off your device
4-enter the download mode by holding the power button+home button+volume down key
5-on your pc extract the firmware package(use Winrar or winzip) It will take some time according to your PC speed
6- You will find 4 files after the extraction process
7-Connect your device to the PC, Make sure to use the Stock cable
8-Open ODIn as administrator ( If ODIN doesn't recognize your device then you need to install USB driver for your device)
9-Now select BL and choose BL file , this is your bootloader file
10-Click AP and choose the AP file, This file will take up to 3 minutes to load so be patient.
11-click CP and select CP file , this is your modem
12-and at last click CSC and select CSC file , this is your country code.
13-hit start
-This process will take 3 to 4 minutes if you are using the Stock usb cable,The device will reboot in order to erase every thing in the internal storage then It will reboot again to start the installation process
Installation FAQ
1- will the installation affect the device warranty? no it won't ,cs it is
an official release from Samsung.
2-Can I downgrade to MM after upgrading to
Nougat? Yes you can
3-Can I Install Android nougat if I'm running Custom ROM?
Yes you can install it whatever custom ROM you have.
Installation Video
2-Performance
-For the first time on Samsung devices you can choose the performance profile you need -There are 4 profiles (normal which is the
default mode, Game,entertainment,and high performance)
-every profile has a different settings to give you the best performance according to your needs but you can modify those settings if you want. -Some of you will ask me if I noticed any changes between the 4 modes modes, and I'm gonna answer your question by doing a simple test
-I've done a benchmarking test using antutu APP While normal mode is active and the score is 90000
-Then I've done the same test while performance mode is Active and the score 130000 which is almost the same like MM
-If you want better performance then choose the performance mode but keep in mind that this will affect your battery life
-According to my experience while using the device in normal mode that everything running flawlessly and the device is very
responsive.
-RAM management is great , you can run more than 5 heavy APPs in the background and switch between them very fast and you also still able to run
more APPs at the same speed regardless how much RAM space you have.
3-Sensors and GPS
Sensors and GPS antenna are very important to your device , I've done sensors test and all the sensors responded very well
(accelerometer , Gyroscope, light sensor, Proximity sensor, etc) and I've never experienced any bugged sensors in the past 7 days
GPS antenna is perfect , It caches a 3D fix while indoor and the accuracy is very very good for navigation.
4-Battery Life
Battery life still the same like MM for me but keep in mind that the battery usage vary from user to another .
while using the device in Normal mode(Making calls, Playing light games,using Common APPs like what's APP telegram and Chrome) Over WIFI, I've got 24 hours on battery and more than 5 hours SOT which is almost the same for me on MM .
While using the device in performance mode (location enabled,using Google MAPs for navigation,Making voice calls over 2 hours) I've got 17 Hours on battery and 4 hours SOT which is also the same for me on MM while heavy usage.
The good part in Nougat that you have the ability to change the screen resolution and Performance Mode to get more battery life.
Power saving mode is available with 2 options
1-Medium power saving mode
2-Maximum power saving mode which is the same like UPSM but with a different user interface.
5-Gaming performance
Gaming performance is awesome as it was in MM ,You still have game launcher and you can adjust gaming performance settings as you used to do before. Game tools have the same features but in this version you can see the recent APPs on the right side of the screen
I've tested some high graphic games (Asphalt 8,NFS most wanted,Asphalt Xtreme )and all of them running nicely no lags or stutters or slow responses You can get the best gaming experience by activating Game Mode , which is completely new feature in Android Nougat.
Features
Lock screen (Same).
Right swipe on home screen for upday (same)
Theme store is not ready yet but looks exactly like Note 7 Theme store
Press and hold any APP on the home screen will show pop up menu which is much easier to control your Apps
Home screen adjustments( Same)
All( Samsung Apps, Google Apps, Microsoft Apps)Same Like MM
System Apps have a different looking icons(Rounded shape)(Grace UX) (Like Note7)
Phone App Same Layout and options with different background while calling (Motion gradient colours)
New APP Called Samsung my galaxy (it gives you some helpful tips offers and news)
Power menu, Volume control menu ( same)
Recent Apps looks slimmer
Split screen (Same as Stock Android Nougat)
just drag any window to the top of the screen then choose any APP that supports multi-window
To activate pop up window drag the window to the center of the screen
Double tab on the menu button will switch between the recent APPs.
POP up view by swiping from both corners on the top of the screen
Notification toggles has been changed completely from Samsung TW UI to be like Stock Android devices
you have 6 toggles in quick access bar ,9 Toggles in landscape
Quick pull down with two fingers still available
There is no auto brightness button and the brightness slider only appears in full toggles pull down.
If you press any title under the toggle you will access to more settings related to the selected toggle
Blue light filter is available ,Private mode,Screen mirroring all those running with out any problem
Android Easter egg toggle is available
The settings menu is just like the Note 7 and it's very informative
All sounds Still the same
Sound Alive is available with the same options.
All the display options ( Auto brightness, blue light filter , screen resolution)
AOD new software with all the new layouts ,all third party icons can appear on AOD ,double tab on any icon to open it
Device maintenance is completely new feature ,It will optimize your device very fast and it is much better than smart manager ,5 shortcuts for (battery , Performance mode , storage , RAM,device security)
You still don't have the ability to format SD card as internal adoptable storage.
Finger print is working ,I didn't notice any improvement or any different response
All language are supported
All keyboard language inputs are supported
Camera software has a different layout and gestures (Like Note 7) but all the options still the same,All the modes are working,Image and video quality are
the same as MM firmware.
Bugs and fixes -I've been using the firmware for almost 7 days , So I'm gonna share with you the problems I've got till now
1-S health is not working , I think cos my device warranty is void , So If your device was rooted before you will got the same issue
2-Some of the Apps didn't work normally like what's App voice messages is too low compared to MM
3-Some of the Apps didn't work at all like Facebook
4-Some users reported that Samsung music crashing but for me every thing working without a problem.
Now you will ask me , can I use it as daily driver? the answer here depends on your needs, if you can find an
alternative for Apps like Facebook and you don't need S health then sure you can use it as daily driver.

You'll have to wait until someone upload the new BETA firmware.
Download it and flash with odin.

Xperia Z3+ Nougat Review.....

:fingers-crossed::laugh:
YouTube Link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjR2PxJmcsk

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THIS ANDROID 7 ON Z3+.
Advantages..
1. Battery is lasting more than MM.
2. Stamina mode comes with 3 level stamina features.
3. Split Screen Apps are awesome.
4. Heating is less, I think they avhieved that by closing the background apps.
5.Camera app doesnt heatup the phone and lasts open till 5 min( I checked for 5 minutes only may be it ll show heating warning after that, I just dont know about it).
6. Now both the wallpaper and lockscreen can be handled easily with the same option WALLPAPER provided at SETTING app.
Disadvantages.
1. The Icons for the apps CONTACTS, MESSAGING, PHONE, CAMERA are so ugly.
2. One cannot go to the homepage by clicking recent navbar and then by clicking at the clear space of the recent apps menu.
3. While phone is locked the phone doesnt react to double tap unlock like it used to be in MM.
4. While the phone is locked the Icons of battery, network, clock etc are placed slightly lower than the Icons placed in the unlocked screen. LOCKING UNLOCKING CREATES AN UGLY LOOK OF MISPLACEMENT OF THESE ICONS.
5. The Battery icon in the status bar is too weird. ( Doesnt like it look).
6. The Data traffic indicator ( the small arrows up and down are way too small, the indicator which shows below 2g, 3g, H+ and LTE on the status bar)
7. They removed the option of selecting the FOCUS MODE in the camera app.
8. I compared the pictures taken by my phone when its in LP, MM AND N, I must say in LP this phone used to capture photos brilliantly, in MM the pics are somewhat lower than LP. But in N the pics quality are not upto marks. I think thats all because of this focus thing. Now the phone focus the way it wants to).
9. Remove/ Quit apps wisely, I am downloading some apps from UC BROWSER and then I exit the app and keep the downloading in the background but when I cleared the app from the recent apps list just to make my recent app section to look empty, it stopped my downloading too and the APP UC BROWSER was completely shut. (This option is in LP TOO BUT NOT IN MM) So close apps wisely.
11. They abandoned the small apps, Yes they are there but not easily accessible, now accessing small apps are quit pain in the ASS.
12. The apps in the Recent apps looks very big.
13. New quick tiles are good but one cannot direct shut data from there.
Thats all dear Fellas, I like the UI OF MM more than this N.
I THINK SONY JUST BAKED THIS N FOR US IN HURRY.
If I missed anything than please guys you can add that on your comments.

I really think the Android N update is very good for this device. Camera quality has improved in N - try some low light shots - noise is much lower. The UI is very fluid.

For my device not update notice for now...but I see that in Russia update is out in these days...
So, for now I can't comment about N on my Z3+...but thank you very much for this thread...I hope more users tell opinions about this new update...
I would like to learn more about:
- camera is more fast or not, compared to MM? About picture quality seems the two different opinions are contrary..so, other user opinion about camera?
- N as it looks in terms of reactivity on our device?
- Audio? From speakers and in headset? There are some new optimizations or similar?
Thanks in advance to all

Using Nougat Indian Firmware
Advantages-
1. Camera quality is better
2. Split screen
3. Smooth Ui
4. Performance Enhancment
5. Battery backup improved
6. Brightness dim Issue in sunlight is fixed upto great extent
7. Heating issue is much more solved
Disadvantages ( Huge list but Listing major one)
1. Touch issue (Lackness in touch sensitivity)
2. No manual Focus in Camera Menu
3. Sound Quality reduced (Vibrations in back panel)
4. Can't download apps frome playstore in Roaming.
5. Now we have to double tap to activate data from notification bar
So, its better to push updates for fixing these problems. I hope sony would release updates.

Number 4 and 5 from @ag_themes list are customisation dependent. Both are not present in Russian Nougat that also was on servers before withdrawal.
Also I don't have any touch issues. The sound problems mentioned are the main reason of update withdrawal.
Btw. No overheating is probably connected with reduced usage of a57 cores. Nougat uses them rarely comparing to marshmallow (some report says they are disabled in nougat).

Can someone upload Russian fw? I want to flash it

Using Android Nougat on India Version
Split Screen is advantage (but not many app support however you can force them to)
Slightly more responsive ( like 5 percent)
camera is same (with an added option in manual mode)
audio is also similar
i feel battery consumption when device is used is same ( maybe doze helps when phone is in sleep but i didnt notice much improvement)
My device hanged once (in youtube app). Restarted itself after 5 mins.
Indirect access to small apps ( i never really used them)
{
Other things such as detailed (two taps to toggle) mobile data , wifi and bluetooth. Displays important things on settings , NOtification quick reply these are android N features sony didnt mess with
}
I feel its an simple upgrade of API . Everything else is similar to MM.

HELP

Is your phone is ringing on calls? Mine doesnt ringing from the day I updated to nougat.

Yes it is.
Make sure you have applied a ringtone and its not in Do Not Disturb mode.

HELLO PRASHAD, I HEARD YOU GET ROOT WITHOUT UNLOCKING BL? Some guy is spreading that news. Is it true?

Nope, not true. With out bootloader unlock, it is impossible to root the device.
IOVYROOT will get temp root access to backup the TA Partition, but after reboot, the device loses the root access. It is only for taking backup, you can not modify the system. If you try to modify the system with temp root access, your device will be dead after reboot.

When will Nougat update be out for Tab A 10.1

Any updates or ETA on when the update will be released?

Very misleading title.

Yeah!! You eagerly click the thread hoping for news only to get a question with an obvious answer. If there were news, someone would have posted it. Is it just me or shouldn't that be obvious to anyone?
edit: And here I am perpetuating the thread.

Based on estimates I've seen, the first to second week of June is a high probability. Looking forward to Nougat for the Tab A 10.1 (2016).

It's rolling out now

It is indeed rolling out now. Push notifications will easily take this to early June, and I will wait on the upgrade until I see early reports on user experiences. The Nougat update for the S2 has caused havoc for some people.

today i've received nougat update

SM-T580 hopefully soon...
Nice to see the Pen version receiving Nougat, but there are MANY of us still waiting for our update. The estimate was early June, possibly the first week.

Got it today. Germany dbt

Updated today
My model is a T580 wifi only that I bought from italian Amazon. I could upgrade to Nougat because it is a model coming from Germany. The update lasts less than an hour and changes the firmware from T580XXU2APL4/T580OXA2APL4 to T580XXU2BQE4/T580OXA2BQE4.
It seems that installed applications work well all, even the overall look seems more enjoyable.
I had followed the adb method (without rooting) to enable the adoptable storage using a 32GB micro sdhc, it seems that the update did not change this memory setting.
For now I am very satisfied.

I've a problem with the Samsung keyboard with nougat. When I select English keyboard I've the symbols over the letters while when I use the Italian keyboard the symbols don't appears and I can't activate it in the settings

Normally I use SwiftKey, after updating I tried the Samsung keyboard and they all work well.
Symbols on english languge and Samsung keyboard are displayed after pressing the face key (right of Ctrl) and are divided into two pages that change by pressing the 1/2 and 2/2 keys.

That was fast. German firmware isnt even on updato or sammobile yet. I wonder when it will be.

What additional features are gained by the update? Did it break any previously working features?

The things I noticed:
Positive:
The bluelight filter is certainly a very nice addition when using the tablet at night. Contrary to some apps which claim to do the same, this works much better and does really filter blue light without heavily affecting overall brightness.
Officially Google made this only available in 7.1. Seems like Samsung did port this as well as some other things down into our 7.0 based ROM.
Security level is May 1st. Well, that's not a feature but still an important reason to upgrade.
All apps I had installed before the upgrade still work.
Battery runtime seems to be a bit better. But this could be the usual effect after flashing a new ROM. So let's wait and see if this is a permanent improvement.
There is a new device management overview for removing unused data, analyzing memory and battery usage etc.
Also some kind of (fortunately optional) security scanner from Intel is included. I have not yet decided if should I consider this as a small improvement or if I just don't care.
Multi window feature now seems to work for more (all?) apps. At least in Marshmallow if an app didn't support multi window mode (and most don't) you were not able to put it in multi window mode. Now on Nougat I just get a warning that the app doesn't support multi window and might behave strange. But for most apps it works just fine.
Neutral:
Performance seems to be the same.
Pull down/notification menu now looks and behaves a bit different than before. But imo overall it's neither worse nor better than before.
Various smaller UI changes. E.g. app icons can now have some kind of canvas. Imo nothing exciting.
Some new connectivity settings. E.g. "Nearby" feature which claims that you can more easily connect to other device. I deactivated it and didn't have a closer look as I don't need this. might be helpful for some people.
Negative:
The settings are now grouped and sorted differently than before. Not more or less logical but different. So you have to get used to it which is annoying.
Google Chrome crashes if you resize/shrink the window. Which is a pity as I'm using the multi window feature a lot. This did work in Marshmallow. Seems to affect only Chrome. Other apps resize just fine (e.g. YouTube).
Gesendet von meinem SM-N9005 mit Tapatalk

Small correction to my statement above about the issue with Google Chrome in multi window mode:
With Nougat all apps I did try so far seem to work fine in splitscreen mode where you can display two apps side by side. Including Google Chrome.
With Marshmallow this did work only with some apps.
With Nougat most apps can be resized and shown on top of other apps. Both, apps which officially support this, as well as apps which don't support this. In addition for apps which don't support this a message is displayed that that they might not work properly in this mode. With Marshmallow resizing was only possible for selected apps. So far I found only one app which cannot be resized at all (Hidrive) and two apps which crash when being resized (Google Chrome and Google Earth). With Chrome resizing did work in Marshmallow.
So overall I like the multi window mode in Nougat more than in Marshmallow. And the bug with Chrome is not so bad as at least in split screen it does work.

Thanks for taking the time to compose such a through review!
