S7 Edge ATT Update Released

[anon(3882976)]

Is this really true? Feb security update? Not April?

Mine shows April 2, 2016

Then go your Lockscreen settings and redo the process of selecting the unlock option. If your fingerprints work with the rest then it must be related to the Unlock options.

This doesn't work. I've gone as far as to do a factory reset, but the phone insists upon showing pattern as the primary unlock method and the fingerprint as the secondary. I am highly pissed about this.

AARRGG....Please post back here and let us know what they determine. I like the less sensitive screen but not at the expense of the finger print sensor..

Update: I'm thinking the problem might be Nova. I don't know what Nova has to do with the lock screen, but when I am having the problem, Nova is the default launcher... and the problem is happening at a high clip... maybe 95% of the time. When I switch over to Touchwiz, the fingerprint unlocks the phone 100% of the time.

Not seeing SD card notification any longer, in fact, I no longer even see it on reboot aswell.

I updated and I use Nova. Mine seems to be working fine with the fingerprint sensor. I only get the keypad lock screen on reboots. Just and FYI

Optmize battery is now under the menu at the top right corner on the battery screen.

Ditto!!

On the initial boot up after the update mine still showed the SD card notification... quick swipe away and it doesn't show up again until you reboot.

Nope. Even after the first time, fingerprint doesn't unlock lockscreen for ne. Takes me to keypad for pin. Fingerprint still works with Samsung pay and signing into websites via stock Internet app. Just won't unlock lockscreen. Am I the only one?

Try going into your settings and see if the option is off or on.

You probably have Nova activated as a device administrator for unlocking your screen. I disabled that, which removed the double tap to lock screen. Now I just press the power button to lock. Fingerprint unlock was more important than double tap to lock for me.

Yep it seems to be the Nova double-tap. Disable that and my fingerprint unlocks the screen every time. Double-tap to lock it and only a pin will get you back in. Explains why every now and then my fingerprint was working... when the phone locked itself due to timeout setting. But when I used double-tap to lock, it was a no-go. I'll see if I can report it to Nova. Thanks for the detective work, guys. One of the many reasons I love these forums.

 

[Thiscrapsucks35]

Yep. That was it for me.

If you have Nova set as an administrator on your phone, you'll probably be experiencing this issue.

For me it's just using double-tap to lock. I still have Nova as a device administrator but disabled the double-tap thing in gestures. Now my fingerprint unlocks the lockscreen every time. Yay.

Re: Latest update from AT&T has turned my phone into an a-hole

So I used the Samsung+ app to do a live chat with an agent. Since I did a factory reset to try to resolve the issue, they recommended that I take the phone to Best Buy and have the Samsung folks there do "something" (I forget what she called it). I'm hoping that works. Otherwise what? Replacement phone???

It could either be that or you may just need to do a Factory Reset. I would do a FDR first before going through any replacements.

After the update, battery life seems to be worse. Although it's been getting steadily worse and worse since I bought the phone two weeks ago. An hour of screen on time seems worth about 20-25% of battery life

EDIT: Just realized this was posted in the Edge section. I have just the regular S7

Yup. That was the cause of my problems too. THANKS!!!

I DID a FDR (see 2nd sentence you quoted).
