About to install over the air update now.

Well CRAP, Guess I'll be forced at some point now to accept the disaster.

 

[rstites38829]

I haven't followed it well. Anything specifically bad or good that I need to watch for?

Quick Setting, no longer quick.
Setting Menus all changed and less navigable.
Icons changed (harder ti identify)
Color/pallet monochromatic/washed-out and less pleasing.
On and on on less pleasing and harder to use.

Not quite sure why so many are not a fan of nougat. I for one am. Definitely better battery usage and control. Smoother, neater, and so on.
That's just my opinion but overall I have no complaints.

Yes, don't just listen to one opinion - I love it. There are always those resistant to change! Once you flip through the new "Settings" menus a few times, calmly, with a positive attitude, you'll find that it's actually a very intuitive layout. The battery performance blows MM away and lag is all but non-existent now, as far as I can see. Again, in my honest opinion...

The biggest thing I noticed early on is that WiFi calling actually works now. I live in a low signal area paired with a metal roof home and this is a big help for me.

I've had much better WiFi calling with AT&T on the 6.01 than I ever had with Ver. Haven't seen a change in WiFi calling on my wife's S7, but her battery life is worse.

If you're interestd, great Youtube Video that covers not only Nougat itself, but compares it to Marshmallow on another phone. Guy talks fast but does a pretty good job!

Why would they re-name items like Airplane Mode and Flashlight to those dorky names?
Loosing the side scroll on the first pull down for settings stinks.
Dropping the settings selection on the Camera screen seems like a step backwards.

 

[W_A_Watson_II]

Well the damn think updated, and I'm glad they didn't actually rename Airplane Mode and Flashlight.
Still miss the side scroll.

Anyone else having problems with their home button now? Mine takes 2-3 presses before it works.... could be coincidence, but it started this problem with the 7.0 update.

Not I!
