AT&T Update today, 8/21

[justafew]

Just downloading it now but it didn't give me details when it started installing. Not sure if it's just the August security or the updates for the nav bar, etc. Nothing on the AT&T site yet. Will let you know after I complete the update.

Heck, I just barely got the damn July update last week. Lol. I guess I'm in the nosebleed section of the update stadium.

It's the August 1 security update as well as the Nav Bar updates (double-tap to hid nav bar, etc).

The only thing that sucks is that this update automatically moves you to Email version 4.1.66.2, which means that any time you get more than one email, the notification doesn't show details!

I wrote about this in another thread.

Unfortunately, I can no longer revert to a prior version of the Email app from the apk mirror as it appears to be built into this update. Dang it! This is annoying as I get lots of work emails, but now I have to unlock my device and open my email just to see who all the emails are from rather than determining from the lockscreen if I want to look at those immediately. So frustrating.

Here is a picture of a single email notification (the security app used for work shows who it's from and the subject, but blocks the content.


Now here is what notifications look like with more than one email. It only shows the count, but no information on who sent them at all or subject.

This adds Daydream support, too.

Nice update! Big improvement on smoothness also.

Finally option to hide nav bar.

Not sure if its intended but after the update I'm no longer getting the fade in and out notification at the bottom each time I connect to a wifi.

I am really blown away on how fast updates are rolling out now. Nicely done by Samsung and US carriers. Download now.

Can you pull down on that notification to expand it?

My email app still works correctly, not sure what could be different then your setup... strange

Love finally being able to hide the nav bar. Seems smoother so far especially the transition between home screen and app drawer.

Yeah loving the ability to hide the nav bar as well. Now it takes full advantage of the awesome infinity screen.

I got the update this morning. Not sure how I feel about the navigation bar hide option yet. I'm going to test drive it for a few days to see if I warm up to it. I like it in app but I don't like how when you swipe up on the home screen, it goes over the dock icons. Not really sure why that annoys me but it does. Lol

Anyway, glad I got this update promptly. For some reason, I didn't get the July update until last week, after I called and asked them to push it to me for the second time. Lol

As for the email notification update, I assume that's only for the stock email app?

Did we get wifi calling too or did we already have it and I'm just now getting notifications to set it up?

WiFi calling has always been there.

What I think is a great feature of the hidden navigation bar is when you want to bring it back, just swipe slightly up from the bottom of the LCD and it's there

Oh ok. I just started getting a notification to set it up after the update that's why I thought it was new. Thanks
