S7 Nougat update postponed

Does the Stock Browser in the Pixel (I guess that would be Chrome?) offer Ad Blocking?

Nope. Chrome users are at the full mercy of internet ads.

I went to edit my original post but it wouldn't save. I meant to say it is unlocked UK phones purchased through carriers.

I too have XEU and purchased via carphone warehouse.

Using the about phone app from the playstore what's shown in your available csc section. I'm asking because my phone came from the Samsung Experience Store which is basically Cpw. Mines blank.

I'm kinda glad yours is like mine



I was looking and the blank section in available csc codes stood out.

On a side note I've just had an email from Cpw advising Samsung are taking over the Experience Stores from 1/3/17.

Did you pre order yours, I did and I had to suffer the fiasco of one minute my phone was definitely there and the next it wasn't.

I bought mine back end of 2016 so it was in stock to buy.

I find it hilarious how people keep complaining about the update and saying Samsung are late, yet even the ZTE Axon 7, a phone at some point labelled the best in 2016 STILL doesn't have Nougat! The HTC 10 Nougat update only recently began rolling out, and is now paused due to issues.

Moto Z and Z Force Nougat update in US, Canada and China only out now.

It seems most OEMs are updating now in January.

It's not that I don't have the update that's so frustrating, its the lack of info coming from Samsung. Why cant they say either way when they expect to release for each CSC code.

Marshmallow working just fine, so I'm happy just to wait it out...

I posted this on another thread as well..

This gives apple the edge over android devices with updates sent to every phone with very little issues. Why can't these manufacturers get their act together like Apple! What a shame

That's absolutely untrue. Apple faces all kinds of issues with their updates too. Most of the time, I have seen data deletion issues, bricking, etc. It seems as though many Apple users aren't as vocal, due to the fact that they are in a locked down ecosystem.

Yes Apple release iOS pretty much to all on a stated date.

Their Firmware can be more stable as obviously they create their own iOS for their own devices.

The Networks are not permitted to get involved and tinker with it so no delays in that respect although in the U.K the Networks have a say in the Carrier Update part.

However.....

It's not always available to all models of iPhones.
Some new features are not always available to all iPhones.
I've known an iOS update so slow down the iPhone and make it stutter.
Apple's Servers crash when the iOS is launched as lots clamber to get it.
iPhones have suffered in the past from 'No Network' or 'No Wifi'after updating the iOS.

All the above I've experienced from using iPhones from the iPhone 4 launch up to the iPhone 6 Plus.

Every phone can have issues with updates .. As in it can have a bug. NO phone is immune to this.

Apple can push the update to all devices because they control 100% of the device. With Android the various manufactures can modify/tweak and do what they want (TouchWiz is an example) so there are extra steps with updating an Android device.
