Right now, it's looking like the Tab S2 Nook isn't getting Nougat.

L0n3N1nja,
Like you I've been using Android for a long time. Ijust got a moto g4 and I'm afraid to let it update to Nougat. In fact so afraid I haven't even powered up the phone yet because I'm thinking it will auto update and I've been trying to find a way to disable that. Would you know how seeing your experience ? I've read about this update causing issues in peoples phones on facebook. If you know how to disable the update feature in the moto g line of phones I would be grateful and I'm sure a lot of other people will be also.

I am not familiar with Moto, but to best of my recollection all of my past and current phones and tablets did not auto update major OS upgrades. They asked if i wanted to upload and then asked if i wanted to install. I just checked my current galaxy s2 and nexus 5 and there is no setting to turn on or off auto update.

If you are afraid of auto update when you turn on your particular phone, i can only suggest you take out sim card and go to a place with no wifi. You can turn on phone without risk of uploading anything and then go to settings to see if there is any way to turn off auto update on your particular phone. If there is not, i don't think there is anything else you can do. A phone with nougat is better than having no phone at all.

Or if you are so dead against using nougat, buy an obsolete phone which is no longer supported. For example my Nexus 5 will not get any other official support past marshmallow, but it is still a solid phone for me. Or if your phone is on nougat, you can always root and flash a custom rom including older version of android.

At least you got Nouget. I'm still on Marshmallow. I have the Nook version and it hasn't received an update on well over a year.

Yes, Nougat blows hard! Glad I got a phone that runs on Oreo to replace the one that runs Nougat that I had used for the past nine months. Oreo blows subpar Nougat away!

When Samsung released their version of Nougat they managed to do the impossible. They somehow made the screen both incredibly sensitive and wildly unresponsive at the same time. Their hardware might be great, but their software is terrible. I'd never buy another Samsung product again.

For the record... I've got an Asus Zenpad 3S 10 which is also running Nougat. The Asus version of Nougat is infinitely better than Samsung's. The problem isn't Nougat. It's Samsung
