Verizon Wireless Nougat Now Available

[LineKill]

OK I got the notification and I said update now, the phone turned off as it would usually do in a update but the the boot screen came up and it's been stuck there now for 15 mins. What should I do, reboot?

Try holding the power button until the phone turns off and then power it up again.

Restarted phone and went back to check for update and it's saying "update in process" but the phone is still usable?? Did I screw something up? Should I reboot or just wait it out?

Update went smoothly. Did a factory reset just in case there'd be any hiccups. Battery seems about the same for me. Loving the update so far.

Mine has gone smoothly so far

I am not sure exactly where you are at. The update process does take a while. If you cannot cancel the update and restart the update wait for 45 minutes. If it appears that nothing is happening after this period try booting into recovery and wipe the partition cache.

I am glad most everyone is having a successful update. I have been using Nougat on the Verizon S7 edge for almost 4 months now. If anyone has any questions or problems I will do my best to answer and help.

I have the S7, did the update, and now my LED isn't blinking when I get notifications. Anyone know how to fix it? Thanks!

I had the same problem but a reboot seems to have fixed it.

Edit: Spoke too soon, LED not working for me either. Worked once after reboot then stopped again.

Anyone else with LED issues?

Seeing as how you asked I really am not seeing much other than the new battery stats that I consider an improvement. And going way the other way is the totally sucko theme and wallpaper app that forces you to give permissions for phone, contacts and one other that I can't remember. Just to change wallpaper, that is way stupid. Have you perchance found something else to do that?

Updated mine... no big issues. My favorite theme is unusable but other then that not bad. A lot of note 7 in here which I love .... have to fiddle with my display settings some yet. Glad we finally got the update !

Just to make sure, was this update supposed to have the launcher shortcut feature? I don't have it on mine.

The only way I known of is to install a 3rd party wallpaper app. They will also require permissions, but not as many.

Just installed on two different S7 Edges. One of them went without a hitch the other is having Wifi issues. The Wifi constantly connects then drops and then automatically turns Wifi off. There seems to be others with this issue from previous phone/vendor upgrades. Did anyone have this issue or know of a fix????

I am not sure what you mean by launcher shortcut.

I had the same problem after the 7.0 update I had to do a factory reset and all problems are fixed.

Was this in response to my wifi issue?

Finally! Im so happy! Installing it now then going to wipe it for a clean install so happy

 

[Vinman911]

Surprised it rolled out today. I updated and everything is fine. Battery life has not diminished in any way.

I am glad a factory reset fixed you all up. There is nothing like a smooth running freshly reset device. I don't understand why some people get mad when it's even mentioned. Oh well, cheers!
