everything is working great. fone is little faster. I got issue in calling after update, its only allowing emergency call. After a restart that is resolved. so far so go.

I've noticed something cool with Bluetooth audio. Before you could set the volume of the phone and the Bluetooth device separately. I noticed that when I turned the volume up on the phone the soundbar volume indicator was going up. So I pulled up the volume slider on the phone and started adjusting the volume using my soundbar remote. The slider on the phone started moving by itself. It seems to me now the phone adjusts itself to the speaker volume.

Factory Firmware or Unbranded ?

can anyone upload the update here? so i can manualy update mine. im outside usa..thankyou

Does anyone know if this is available with SmartSwitch - specifically without SIM in? My son is using my old s7 edge without an active SIM, would love to avoid having to deal with popping out the SIM from my s9+ to pull down the update for him, but if I have to, so be it.
At least the s7 edge is getting updates.

Just a FYI since I've seen others ask how to turn that off...
You can disable it in Bluetooth Settings (along with Ringtone volume as well). Go into Bluetooth Settings and click the 3-dots at the top right for "Media Volume Sync" or "Phone ringtone sync" while the device is connected.

Do you have an AT&T sim card installed? If not, that's why. You could always try to update using Smart Switch.

Ok. The unlocked firmware is still only on 7.0. If it's still at&t and using a T-Mobile SIM it won't register an update. The servers won't accept any device not using an att sim.

The only way around it is to use Odin. But that will wipe your phone. Do you have any friends or family that use att?

[Q] VZW software update

So I have the R800x and just got a pop-up notification stating there was a software update available. I could not get the update because the phone is not activated and currently just on wifi and it said the update had to be across the network not wifi. Any whoo, anybody else get this? Im thinking its the 2.3.3 update.
I'm getting a download error so I'm not sure. Could be lots if things.

You can always try the SE update software. I just checked on my phone and it said no update available. I have noticed that if you turn you phone off with Wifi on and turn it back on the phone with ask you every time to check for updates.
Mine also does this. Every few days it pops up and tells me there is an update and when I click ok out turns off wifi, does nothing then turns wifi back on. Does anyone
know if there is an update in on 2.3.2 currently.

I'm on verizon had the phone just over a week and every few days it tells me there us an update. Its an automatic pop up can't remember exactly what it says but it tells me that wifi will be turned off to download the update. I click ok and the pop up goes away and wifi turns off and nothing happens then wifi turns back on. Also when I try to check for a new update it has just been saying checking for update and uses my cpu 100% but never finds one and hasn't told me it is up to date.

As for me, when I check for updates it always says on my R800X that I am up to date (running 2.3.2). I am assuming that in theory it has the update available but since it's not the tweaked verizon version so it just stops you from updating. So pretty much we would have to wait for OUR 2.3.3 (Verizon Tweaked) At least that's my opinion.

Try turning the wifi off then do the update from the settings menu.
I was having the same issue, said there was an update and then nothing ever installed. Just for fun I ran SEUS and it said I was up to date, I reinstalled anyway and i haven't been prompted for an update since. Its only been about a week so who knows.

Notification's issue on this beautiful device

(posting this again under general as someone might has a solution).
I got mate 8 (Chinese version) about a week ago and it's an amazing device but it has a major issue with receiving notifications!!! Having an amazing phone with such major issue is like having a BMW with Toyota engine!!! Has anyone find any solution to this issue?
From what I belive. This is simply what I belive. That because China don't really allow anything other than their China region app. The notification file for anything other than that might not work. Assuming if you own the international version(English ). Notification might work.

There's many problem with push notification on the last version of android (6) .
Owner of nexus 6P are in the same boat !
I have the mate 8 with 64 giga and all is working great except some bloatware AND ... the push notification when the screen is off.
I have change many settings but no solution (search in google with android 6 and doze problem)
in that case i guess theres nothing left to do but wait for an android update and/or EMUI update

after rooting just uninstall phone manger apk and it will be fixed with receiving notifications like my old p8max
phone manager is crap app just holding receiving notifications all the time
Don't uninstall phone manager!
Just change the Doze settings to an interval that you are happy with for receiving notifications. You have to root to do that, too, though. But you will save more power this way.

Status Bar Icon - What is the oval icon?

Hello everyone,
Please forgive my ignorance on this, but I've searched all over and not found an answer.
Can anyone tell me what this icon is or what it means?
Thank you!
I believe that is the icon for the enhanced lte service. I've seen it somewhere on the Verizon 935 page if I recall correctly. Did you flash engboot?

I believe that's what it is. If you go into settings and turn off enhanced lte service and back out it should go away and that should tell us if my theory is correct.
I'd turn it back on afterward though.

Odd. It did not go away for me until I flashed the S7 fixes zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...sed-unroot-t3411039/post67605246#post67605246
That seems to have caused this icon to go away permanently on my system while leaving enhanced LTE settings on.

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 had massive restart loop every 30 seconds yesterday. Have been troubleshooting. Ultimately had to rewipe again, to get it to work.
Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk
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.

G955USQU1AQEF Update

Come through my phone last night, mentioned Bixby changes which always scares me. somebody install it first lol

I’ve installed it. The usual, maybe placebo effect, but it feels smoother. My Antutu score went up about 10K.

There is definitely a performance increase. Much much smoother.
What bothers me is they pushed the May security update. June's security patch was sent out publicly on Monday. WTF.

Think I figured it out. I didn't use my usual troubleshooting steps because I was following everyone else's threads and issues. I neglected to try audio wired as well as with alternate music apps. So after trying several different headphones (wired and bluetooth) as well as various bluetooth speakers, I was able to narrow it down to a specific app that was the issue (Power Amp). I cleared the cache and data for the app and now all is A-OK. Classic case of user error I guess?
