Has anyone gotten the latest update for the S7 and S7 edge? From what I have read it is supposed to be the security update and should not be a problem. Well that is what they are saying but I guess we will see if it is true or not. Good Luck!
Read the posts here. There have been all kinds of problems with the Nougat update. For this reason, I am delaying installing it.
Sorry jrh4054 I am referring to a security patch they came out with Today. It was only supposed to be about 210 mbs so shouldn't cause that much trouble. As for the Nougat update I understand that there has been a whole bunch of problems with that. I was one of the lucky ones that did the update with a minimal amount of problems. It is really a shame that doing an update on ones phone could be such a disaster . It really is a roll of the dice where some have a problem and others don't. Thank you for the concern thou it seems to be all good.
I updated this morning with the latest patch. I have many missing apps after the update! For some reason, they were uninstalled from the phone during the update. What a joke this has become!
Details on the update are limited to simply security-related with no specifics. Post-update the phone stands at the May 1, 2017 patch level. I encountered no issues installing the update or since then. But, as always, unfortunately, YMMV.
It's nice to see a security update that isn't tied to major Android version update and was actually released the month it was applicable to.
Which apps are you missing?
I applied the latest update and have no problems. Wifi reconnected, there are no missing apps and the phone is just as fast as before the update. The only thing I do on these security updates is unmount and remove the SD card prior to installing the update.
Petersm62, it is very strange that a security patch would cause applications to uninstall. Normally only factory resets uninstall multiple applications. We're here to help figure this out. What steps did you take to do the update?
