Mine is still downloading, but for the size of 1.5 Gbs it almost has to be Nougat.

Download just finished. Device restarting. Said Android Nougat 7.0 plus enhancements.

I admit it, I am surprised that the Active got it this quickly considering the history of the Active series an it's updates.

Feel like this is an early Xmas present! Thought May if we were lucky

Downloading it now. The download is slow, but worth the wait.

Wow, the update took forever

I notice that LED is not working for notifications. Anyone else?

Still working on mine after the update.

I notice text messaging does not maintain order. I get all the messages I sent on the bottom of the window and the ones I received separate on top.

I got the LEDs working all except Go SMS Pro so I am using the stock messaging app for now. I could do a data reset, but wanted to see what other people experience first. Other than the LED issue, no other problems so far.

That's weird - mine's not; everything is still in the correct order!

Boy, what a night - had to roll all the way back to PI2... then come one by one, back up to QA1... then ask for the AT&T Software Update to get the Official Nougat. Then, thank God, the "Samsung Cloud Backup" had all my stuff and was able to put me back to normal, the way I was before I started this whole procedure!!! Ugh! About five hours total, just to have had Nougat for six weeks early... :-( - The things we do for TECHNOLOGY!

Can't deactivate Samsung Keyboard as Default so I can use my SmartKeyboard Pro - first and ONLY problem I've found! I tried disabling Samsung Keyboard with Package Disabler Pro and then there's NO KEYBOARD - Aggghhhhhh! Sent in a Bug Report with Screen Shot - let's see what happens! Also Uninstalled and re-installed SmartKeyboard Pro but did not help! Otherwise... eggcellent! (Well, they do use eggs to make Nougat - check the recipe)

11:46 PM - EDIT: All of a sudden, without the original problem changing, I can suddenly "Select" SmartKeyboard Pro and use it without deselecting the Samsung keyboard??? Who knows - it's working!
