Just Did a Software Update on my Vzw S7 Edge. Need Help.

[Murph5150]

Every time my S7 goes through a software update, the phone freezes so badly I can't do anything with it. Needless to say, I have to do a factory reset every time there is a software update. My last update appeared very early this morning. Does anyone else have this problem? If not, does anyone know why I have to factory reset after each update? I've never owned an Android that needed this.

Lastly, can anyone confirm that G935VVRS4APH1 is the latest Verizon software version? Thanks.

That's the latest update. Like you I got it this morning. Other than having to reset a few settings, no other problems. Does anyone know what this update did?

I got this one this morning myself but I haven't noticed anything different I did see where they had a little blurb about security updates.
So far I haven't noticed any problems

Yeah, it's the September security patch. I installed it this morning and have not seen any problems so far.

So no one had to do a factory reset? Which settings did you reset? If it's a matter of resetting a few specific settings rather than doing a full factory reset, I'm game!

Have you done a power cycle after the update? Not a factory reset, but just powering down and back up again. Also, could your phone still be optimizing apps in the background?

I've always tried a soft reset first but it never helped.

I updated mine but keep getting the software update is available after its already been updated. How do I stop that?

Sounds like you've got a lemon if you keep having issues after every update. Better to get a warranty exchange. Honestly, I would have done that after the first freeze up and hard reset. These devices cost too much to put up with that kind of glitch.

I usually always do a cache partition wipe after every update. Never has to factory reset my phone after any update.
