Cellular and GPS signal issues post Nougat update on S7

[sandra023]

Hi everyone,

I'm sure it's been mentioned before but have others brought forth the cellular signal issues(missed calls, dropped calls) and gps (losing signal) issues with the Nougat update? I've hard reset the my S7, taken it too Samsung to run a diagnostic (which found nothing), it's clearly a software issue. Would you recommend rooting the phone and flashing 7.1? Or are people experiencing issues with that version as well? Thanks for your time

Moved from the Nougat forum to the S7 forum, since this is more likely to be a device-specific issue rather than a general Nougat issue.

Im experiencing exactly the same issues, have you found a solution?

I'm facing the same issue on my galaxy s7. I had gone to my carrier (att) and they ran a couple tests, coming to the conclusion that nothing was wrong with my phone.

I've also had issues, and had US Cellular check out the network - said all was well. Attributed it to the phone, so they sent a replacement. Some similar issues, but done trying new phones. Never thought about it being a software issue related to N ...
Haven't noticed anything with GPS, but then don't use it that much

Same thing here. I contributed it to poor reception due to where I live but no I'm not so sure.
