My phone is a release day s7 that I ordered from Best Buy. I never rooted it and find it unlikely that anyone rooted it before I acquired it. Note that I mentioned Good Lock earlier because .(i) it requires a reboot to install and (ii) the Galaxy App store only gives you the option to update...

When I: 1. Power the phone off 2. Enter recovery via power/home/volume up all at once, I then see "Installing System Update" and afterwards, I see the yellow exclamation mark with the dead Android (Xs as eyes). This is recovery mode and not download mode. As mentioned, Phone Info app...

I'm sure I'm jinxing myself again, but everything has been fine since I took the Verizon APF2 update last Friday. Anyone else?

FYI I have a standard S7 on Verizon. I have had regular unmountings (monitored via SD card monitor app) for some time now. Got pretty used to seeing 3 every morning when waking up. Anyway, I have not had one in a few days now. I'm not sure if there's anything to this, but it seems to...

Confirmed that SD Card Monitor is showing multiple ejections since taking the VZ update. Reinstalled Good Lock...

Update- so far, so good. NO sd card notifications since I installed Good Lock last night. Sandisk 128 gb.

I will dance a jig if Good Lock makes the notifications stop. So far so good... You will note that in the app profile in the Galaxy App store, the "What's new" list for version 24.0.6 includes "Fixed issue that SD card is not working." :D
