S7 Edge - Sprint Nougat Update

[kristi]

I have had problems with changing ringtone and notification tones as well, I change them and they do not change even after restarting. hopefully they come up with a patch for this weird stuff we are all seeing sooner than later.

Anyone having problems after the update should, first thing, boot into recovery and clear cache. In fact, that's probably not a bad idea even if you aren't having problems.

Definitely a great suggestion. I would also like to add, in addition to that, going into storage and clearing all apps cache.

Before the update I had keyboard shortcuts that I could use for responding to texts or filling in my email address on forms, but I can't seem to find where I can do that anymore. Has this feature been removed?

Good idea.

But, why can't something like this be a part of the update process?

It seems to me that so many people have serious issues after every software update, that Google would make it another step in the install of the update...

I'm sure it could be done. Well, actually I don't have a clue if it could be done... But, it sure -should- be.

yes that's what i mean, U.S. unlocked model and still no updates until now,thanks for answering

I think you are confusing unlocking the sim of your carrier variant from purchasing a non carrier unlocked phone. Did you get the update today?

FYI - if you hate the nougat update, Samsung is proactively tallying a list of issues... put your two cents in. I loved my phone... now I hate my phone and it happened that quick with nougat

I am not sure why you have not received it yet either. Have you talked to Sprint yet? I attached a screenshot of the Roll-Out Schedule for you. When you talk to Sprint that is what they should see on their screen. Let me know what happens, I am interested.

After the update I'm having issues with video play back. My videos are choppy, start and stop. I'm getting the server error when opening certain apps or downloading apps.

You kind of left that information out previously. I am with Verizon and you can update without a Verizon SIM using their software. There are other methods maybe someone can help you with. Here is the Sprint chat service link for you.

I updated last night. Cleared cache, and haven't noticed any issues so far. I like that it seems much smoother and quicker than MM. I hate the blindingly bright look of Nougat. Fortunately, you can tone most of the UI down by using a dark theme, and there are lots of free ones, but there are a few things that apparently can't be changed. The most noticeable of those is the notification shade, which is just obnoxiously bright no matter what you do. Google has got the worst UI designers in the industry, I've decided. Each new version of MD just gets worse than the one before.

My dad got the update today. And so I checked on software update for my phone and it downloaded and installed the new update.

It's weird looking. I don't know if I like it yet. It almost feels like getting a new phone again because I'm adjusting to the changes or trying to adjust.

There's also this blue filter thing , you can use. I noticed it. I can't remember how I accessed that.

How do you boot into recovery so you can clear your cache??

Hold the volume up, home & power button until it boots. Use the volume keys for navigation and the power button for enter.

It can be accessed from the quick settings by swiping down twice from the top or once with two fingers. You can access the blue light filter settings by long pressing.
