Guess I'm going to leave AT&T if we don't get 6.0 by the end of the month.

I installed the update early this morning. I had to delete some never used program called Samsung Link that seems to have been deprecated enough to be incompatible with the update and the update also deleted some apps that I had to reinstall. Very strange. The phone is a bit slow, even after clearing the cache in the boot menu. I'm not sure what to do at this point other than a full wipe, but the phone is workable.

Is it snappier just because it you guys also did a factory reset?

Nope, snappier performance with my same'ole broken down barnacle barge original install....

My phone seems to be quite snappy now. I did a reboot and that seemed to clear things up.

Well, the phone now supports RAW camera apps, or so the test app tells me. The slightly updated camera app definitely doesn't offer any RAW options like the S6 does, but it seems that third-party camera apps will allow it. Unfortunately, there are no third-party apps that seem to use the full resolution of the camera. The best I can do with those - apart from Google's Camera app, which does not allow RAW - is far short of the full resolution.

Mine says to update Google play services for them to work. I try that and the only option is to deactivate.

It should update after a reboot.

I had same problem until I did a factory reset

 

[Phoneguy108]

Before the reset the phone was a complete brick! Kept freezing, rebooting on its own, message app wouldn't open, and connection to ATT network would constantly disconnect. Thankfully factory reset fixed all those issues.

I was cursing the Marshmallow update until I did that reset.

GD I hate how you have to have a freaking Wi-Fi connection to download an update! Should be able to choose if you want to use your data or not

Why wouldn't the S7A have WiFi calling?

Mine was doing the exact same thing. I rebooted the phone and Google Play services automatically updated.

Well after the update battery was horrible. Cleared cashed and didn't change things. So factory reset done. After now battery is great.

I didn't factory reset. Snappy and virtually no lag. Battery is about the same.

Thats what i'm seeing also. I did not have to do a factory reset either. Working great. I'm getting slightly better battery life. Probably stopped some app from killing my battery as much.

Lucky... my phone was bricked after the update until I factory reset it.

Update is freaking awesome! Phone is twice as fast new look new emojis... Only been messing with it for a couple minutes... So happy we finally got it! Oh and no need to do a factory reset.

So I did the update and we'll see how everything goes. I kept getting the error "Unfortunately Messages has Stopped". I gave up on "Messages" app and per another thread's recommendation simply installed Messenger. My wife is a texting fiend so if that doesn't work I'll be sure to hear about it.
