They want you to update so you get frustrated with the phone and end up getting rid of it. My battery already stinks, and I am on vacation. No way do I want ads popping up, battery drain and a hot phone. I haven't heard very many positive responses. What is the goal of the fix Samsung? Hello Samsung are you there?
Anonymous, 05 Sep 2018I updated my phone yesterday and had no problems all evening. This morning it was fine as well... moreHold the volume up button and the power button at the same time. It should start up in the safe mode.
Mandi, 11 Sep 2018Just downloaded the update (9/11/18) and now all I get are ads popping up. I cannot figure out... moreSame here. It's irritating and preventing me from streaming video because of constant popups -_-
Ever since the security update, when I press the home button to turn on my phone the screen just flashes and doesnt come on. I then have to hit the power button twice for the phone to come on.
This is the only problem I've noticed so far.
S7 Edge
Not happy with the update I did today. My phone is now sluggish, the battery is draining SO fast (it went from 48% to 10% in less than an hour) and my phone is super hot to the touch. I even took it out of the case because I was worried it would overheat. I have an S7.
Nelly, 11 Sep 2018Is update 24 the fix we have been waiting for?All good with my update
Just downloaded the update (9/11/18) and now all I get are ads popping up. I cannot figure out how to stop them or where they are coming from. They pop up every few minutes.
Is update 24 the fix we have been waiting for?

Is there a fix for this August 2018 update battery drain issue?
I updated my phone yesterday and had no problems all evening. This morning it was fine as well until about 20mins ago when i unlocked my phone to read a message and the phone froze. I cannot turn it back on and it only shows a black screen and the Galaxy S7 Edge sign. Any ideas on how to turn it back on. It was vibrating and then flashing the sign off and back on as if it was restarting but not the sign it perm on. Please help
I'm really not happy as since I have done last update that was approved by Samsung I have received at least w0 messages a day advising me to update items such as security/texts/and a whole lot more. I don't expect to have an up to date phone and have to go through updating items to outsourcing agencies😡

I upgrade on sprints network from LG to galaxy 7 less then a week ago...the battery drains so fast and takes forever to charge ontop of watching texts message disappear from conversations.
What is going on with this device and is there a fix?

Stealth, 13 Aug 2018I had different tones for different people so I knew who was texting now there is no option to... moreSame issue S7, with my , icons changed, won't do fast charge and stays hot most of the time. HATE updates. If I wanted an IPhone I would have bought one. They need to stop trying to become one.
With the last updated my phone started flickering. So when this update came along, I didn't do it. I'm happy I didn't do it after reading this. I'm going to be getting another phone. With every update the device gets worst
Frustrated-NY, 27 Aug 2018Have two Samsung`s S7 and they are both compromised by this new OREO upgrade. Would have hoped... moreSame here and Samsung was of no help.
I have similar issues. Before the update my phone was not right- going to another time zone and battery life waaaay down to less than 4 hours before dead. After the update I have had three texts sent from my phone disappear from my phone and the ether. Four of us in my family have been faithful to Samsung for ten years.
Some salt for another wound, I'm using my wife's S7 edge after we upgraded her to the S9 edge because my original S7 edge got cracked by tsa but didn't affect operation (February 2017). Last fall I start getting the dry out charging port error and lost the ability to charge from plugins only able to use wireless charging. I send it to Samsung for the "free" repair and they refused the repair unless I pay the $280 for them to replace the screen.
I am a most unhappy long-time customer considering going to the "dark-side".
