Confirmed, it is downloading to my S7 as I type.

Downloading now also

Do I need to do a factory reset after this update?

It is not a requirement, but it is a good practice after a major upgrade.

I'm not sure what's going on with mine. At noon today the update was available. I tried to download but it wouldn't take. I assume it has something to do with my workplace wifi. I got home and tried again and it says no update is available for download. What gives?

If you have not restarted your phone, try that.

Got it about an hour ago. Installed but no factory reset. Probably going to do that tonight.

Upgrade went without a hitch. Nice to see some of the features from the Note 7 now on here with performance mode, expanded notification shade, Always on Display with notifications now, etc. Phone is still settling down, so I expect some of the initial choppiness to go away in a day or so. Don't plan on doing a factory reset unless I encounter issues.

Reminds me of my Note 7 (RIP)...

I am doing that right now myself. It's running nice, but there is nothing like freshly reset device.

I really enjoy the updated AOD!

I have the S7, did the update, and now my LED isn't blinking when I get notifications. Anyone know how to fix it? Thanks!

Mines downloaded but I'm hesitant to install it. I've got some traveling to do at the end of the week and I'm leading the group with all the flight, hotel, car arrangements made and stored on apps on my Verizon S7edge. Reading all the horror stories has me spooked.

Once I install I can't go back to the old OS, is that correct? This is my first Android. I was a long time BlackBerry user and I'm not as familiar with this system.

I got it, so far so good.

 

[Frank Aiello]

OK I got the notification and I said update now, the phone turned off as it would usually do in a update but the the boot screen came up and it's been stuck there now for 15 mins. What should I do, reboot?

In settings go to display and make sure you have Led indicator turned on.

You should wait until you get back before you update. There is nothing the update will give you that you need on your trip. It is better if you have a phone that you know is working and are familiar with. It is a big update, you can spend some time with it when you get back. You can go back to marshmallow but it not as easy as just hitting a downgrade button.

Yep, it's on. That's why I'm having trouble figuring out what's going on. I've been through a ton of the settings and can't figure out why it stopped working after the update.
