So aside from the obvious neon green battery icon, anybody else noticed the changes in the settings menu?
I got the Tmo variant and have to re-learn the settings. For one thing the Auto Restart function is now under the Reset menu which used to be under Accounts.

I've seen some post from other people on T-mobile saying the same. I'am on AT&T and it has not changed yet. Got the green battery update with the August security update. No UI changes though, but the update on T-mobile was ~400 MB, and the AT&T one was only 100 MB. I'm guessing these changes will come to AT&T later.

It is possible that these changes are carrier specific and all Notes may not have them (I have seen menu differences between VZN & AT&T same phones)

Cheers,

I am Still getting used to the new menu layout. I don't like it because I'm used to the old menu setting, like my Note 5. I see the Auto Restart , but it's just for One day only. I hope in a future update that they will change that to where the user can select multiple days like on the Blackberry phones. I loved that feature.

Is this only for T-Mobile? or all carriers?
I have the update with the green battery icon, but I do not have some of those other things like where you hold an icon and that pop-up comes up
I'm on AT&T

I think it's just Tmo. Maybe they're testing some of the Nougat features or something.

Is the notification bundles a test from nougat too? I don't remember that being on my prior note 7. Google play music uses some weird Samsung stock icon with a border. But in it showed a new Android Central podcast, the music I was playing and music I downloaded.

Very similar to 7.0 bundled notifications on my Nexus 6. If that's what it's called. They just need to add Android Neko now :D

I have no idea. I don't have a phone with a Nougat firmware. But I'm liking all these new features. The Apple-like 3D touch feature is supposedly a Nougat feature.
