Verizon Wireless Nougat Now Available

Just to make sure, was this update supposed to have the launcher shortcut feature? I don't have it on mine.

Oh, yes thank you, it should definitely be there. I am not sure why you would not have it. I do not know of a way fix to fix it other than doing a factory reset.

Well, to clarify, when I long press an app, I do get some options, but nothing like that article describes.

I get a gray box with some options, but not this - https://www.droidmen.com/app-shortcuts-android-nougat-3d-touch/

Factory reset after install and all running really smooth. So far so good.

Ok, that is all you get. It is very limited. What they are showing is on the Pixel. It is not even availavle in Nougat 7.0. It is Samsungs first attempt to do it themselves with their own launcher. You will have to wait for the next update for that. If you really like that functionality Nova Launcher does a great job with the long press options.

Was this in response to my wifi issue?

Yes it was give that a try

I am glad a factory reset fixed you all up. There is nothing like a smooth running freshly reset device. I don't understand why some people get mad when it's even mentioned. Oh well, cheers!

People get mad about it because then they have to set up everything again. Which you should not have to do. You don't have to do this on Apple devices.

I'm debating not updating. Runs fine the way it is.

I've always done a factory reset with an OS update but things seem to be fine with this update. I'm gonna hold off doing a reset unless there are issues...Way too much hassle.

Thanks, that makes sense and I totally agree with you, you should not have to. Unfortunately in the Android world sometimes that is the only option left. It can be a very time consuming process depending on your setup. Also, if everything is not backed up properly you could lose some valuable things. It just kind of sucks if I make that recommendation and I get totally bashed like it is my fault. Maybe I am just too sensitive☺

Omg nougat on the S8 is great. After I downloaded and applied the update I wiped my phone and it feels brand new.

It's so much faster and everything is more smooth. Even when it's not in "performance" mode. Loving the new colors and stuff too.

When I pull down the notification shade (all the way), it has a search area (search phone and scan for nearby decices). It won't let me interact with it. It says apps not installed etc. Any ideas?

Upgrade killed my wifi. Wifi comes on and then turns off on its own following completion of upgrade. Seems to not be an isolated issue as i have seen a few questions on the site related to the same issue.

I am glad most everyone is having a successful update. I have been using Nougat on the Verizon S7 edge for almost 4 months now. If anyone has any questions or problems I will do my best to answer and help.

Can you change the background color of notifications?

 

[LineKill]

Can you change the background color of notifications?

Unfortunately you cannot. Using a theme will change many things, but not the notifications. There are no settings to change them either. They are a little white aren't they

I had the same problem but a reboot seems to have fixed it.

Edit: Spoke too soon, LED not working for me either. Worked once after reboot then stopped again.

Anyone else with LED issues?

I overlooked the simplest fix. I'm using Textra, and all I had to do was uninstall/reinstall and now it works. Thank God!

Hope you find the fix for yours!

Downloading now!

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

Yes. A lot of what I liked about the Note 7 is back, and that makes the S7 Edge a keeper...

 

[dwight mckie]

I have a Verizon S7 edge but currently in Jamaica. When ever i click on system update i am getting a message saying software update temporarily unavailable

 

[taarkan]

I had the same issue. A factory reset fixed it.

Does message+ work in AOD now? I tested it and didn't seem to work
