Battery drains quickly. Never had that problem before.
Phone gets hot. Never did that before.
Text messaging is slow. Never did that before.
Camera is now crap. It used to be the best.
Everything is now slow.
This is the worst, worst, worst update in history!
I want my old phone back, please!
I updated to Oreo a couple of weeks ago. I have never before had any problems with updates to my Samsung S7. As soon as I installed Oreo, I could see that there was something terribly wrong, the phone was burning hot and much slower than it use to be. In addition, I soon noticed that it also burned battery like never before, and where it in the past easily last on full day on a battery load, now it seldomly last more than 6-7 hours. This update has degraded the phone from a high-end phone to hopeless unusable low-end phone. Any chance to get compensation from Samsung for this serious downgrade of the product, which has effectively killed the phone?
Central Texas Gal, 15 Jun 2018So unhappy that my personal text tones are gone! I was wondering if I was the only one! Is there any way around this, or a fix yet?? So disappointed
This update made my phone feel like a first gen phone. And my apps running widget is gone. And it's terrible all the way around.
When you roll the weird new closed phone clock screen to the right or left the phone keeps suggesting to open the phone and play some music. I had hoped that that instruction would go away if I played some music but it remains there for the next rime. It doesn't learn.
Then when you play music it tells you that Amazon music or pandora are using battery. Duh of course they are. Then you have to hold down that message and turn of that notification. How dumb is that!
Why is Samsung so caught up in this Music Controller? This is not that big of a deal! Why should it be on an off screen.?
Too many unwanted changes. When you put the older version on the charging stand and lined it up correctly it vibrated. Now it does not causing you to have to look to see if the light is blue.
When you used to hit the phone icon from the text screen it dialed that person. Now it sends the number to the phone screen and you have to hit the call button. 2 steps instead of the one.
Fast charging does not seem to fast charge anymore.
I lost all the words and Phrases that were a part of my keyboard's memory. It has to relearn them.
I had to go through my apps and block notifications that the download reopened.
New clock is strange, and when you tap it its hard to open the phone.
What is the big deal about controlling music from the closed screen. The phone keeps telling me I can do this. Alright already.
I don't like the app screen accessed by rolling your finger up. It opens too easily.
I don't like the changes that they made to the keyboard or the emogies.
It's like starting with a new phone. The phone keeps sending me places and asking me to sign up for this or that. I have to keep declining things.
I don't like the green red screen that comes on when charging. It has to be slowing the charging process down.
All in all an update should not cause the user to have to go back into his phone and reassert their settings. Some of which can no longer we even be reestablished!
The phone definitely is responding slower and it is not as responsive.
This update is a downgrade. I liked the phone better before!
Shame on you Samsung! This was a terrible upgrade. It's not because I don't like change, it's because you have removed some great features and added some awful and annoying ones. The phone was better before you decided to tweak it. It wasn't broken... why did you have to fix an already good thing?? I really liked it before.. Now I'm quite beleaguered by it. It's become inconvenient to use property!
Put it back please. Please put some of the features you removed back. They were good features. Get rid of the ones that people are complaining about!
Where to start?
-Cannot log in from lock screen using pattern or fingerprint, have to open camera or keypad first
-Continuous notification vibrations every 5 seconds with no notifications
-Vibration coincides with keypad loss every time, so no messaging/posting/emailing/etc.
-Notification that my remote app (part of my directv app) is using the battery, yet unable to open the app via notification or app screen
-All sounds are different and to my ear annoying
-Apps are slower to open and do not close
-Calls keep being dropped, including my 3rd call to protech support
In the midst of a backup now, in hopes that a factory reset will do the trick. Otherwise was advised to file an insurance claim and pay my $100 plus detuctible for a new phone (the same phone)! Um, I'm not the one who wrote the shoddy software!
The update corrupted my sd card and deleted all of my photos.
Never again will I own another android system phone. This is the last time I get screwed over on updates. See ya Samsuck, Hello Apple!
Well, it's to late now, Oreo is infecting my phone as I type. Wish I could reach out with a magical base ball bate and swipe at a Samsung programmer hiding behind his monitor :)
Might try factory reset :)
I've downloaded the Oreo update, but after all the bad comments I've read on the net, I don't want to install it. Any one know how to stop it or delete the file??
My Samsung S7 Edge updated on June 9. The phone never completely booted up. It just cycled then started over. AT&T did a factory reset and it did not work. An authorized Samsung repair shop could not fix it. It is now in the hands of Samsung Repair and I have been notified that a technician has been assigned to fix the problem. I fear this will not end well. Oreo update does not seem to be compatible with this model.
Mine randomly restarts. I try to send a pic in a text, restart. I try to open Netflix, restart. I click on a FB update, restart. I plug it in and set it down, restart.
I agree. Latest update made my phone much less enjoyable to use. I hate it now.
This latest monster update has totally ruined my phone. All my personalized text notifications are gone. I can hardly read the labels on my icons and they are smaller, it's just awful!! And there not a blasted useful help forum to fix these issues. We should be notified before an update is agreed to what changes are going to happen. I woul NEVER have agreed to do this had I known. BOO HISS ON YOU SAMSUNG!!
Central Texas Gal, 15 Jun 2018So unhappy that my personal text tones are gone! Just updated yesterday. Personal ringtones on messages are gone. Phone is lagging constantly. The predictive text is adding crap I don't need or want. I just got my phone the way bbn o want it and you go and mess it up. This crap needs fixed
The new update for S7 sucks. All my personalized screens are gone. No idea how to put back my quick contacts page, the apps I want to show and don't want to show apparently aren't up to me any more. NOT interested at all in the Samsung widgets and boxed "goodies" that appear and bump out things I WANT. Blows.
My download speed has been rubbish since this update and I rely on this for my work. Not happy at all and this needs to be fixed asap.
I downloaded the oreo update. And I noticed the phone is heating up quickly. That has never happened with nougat
after this update the vibrate on my s7 is completely gone. terrible!
