I'm purchasing an S7 on Friday. Should I do an update before I ever use the phone so I won't notice changes? Should I not do the update at all? I've heard bad stories so I want to be ahead of the game, per say. Any suggestions? What can I expect with these updates?
The latest update killed my phone, since I cannot charge it. Was working fine and then after the update, battery drained quickly and then when I tried to charge it, nothing. Was hoping to be able to rollback the update, but just chatted with Samsung and they basically told me, that I was stuck and the phone needed servicing.
Updated my S7, seems to work very well. Problem is now my text don't notify me when they come thru. I have the notifications set to high (volume) but still doesn't sound off.
Anyone else?
After major android software update yesterday, my S8 phone app stopped working. Restart didn't cure it, but a full shutdown triggered a reboot in SAFE mode and then a restart from that seems to have cured the problem.
Anyone dealing with problems relating to No SD Card Message?
Latest upgrade is affecting messages. New ones appear in notifications but when in conversation it appears at random in the conversation. It's ridiculous you can't find the message your replying to!
S7 edge, updated on 21.Nov2018. Switches off unexpectedly. And after it does not switch on again. Connect to changer, it shows 70% battery, switch on in safe mode. then switches back off unexpectedly. Has someone been in touch with samsung?
New update killed my phone.... not a happy samsung customer
Since I updated my Samsung Galaxy S7, my phone has been extremely slow and overheating, thus draining my battery. Plus, random ads keep popping up on my phone when I try to simply reply to a text or call someone. And when I try to use the GPS on my phone, it keeps going off because of the relentless ads. It is very irritating and and pointless, so I've barely been able to use my phone since this update.
Anonymous, 21 Nov 2018Phone is dead the moment i installed update. I mean utterly DEAD. Thanks Samsung.I've managed to get it to boot to the download menu by holding volume down, home and power with the charger plugged in, I flashed it with the latest firmware version with Odin and got the same issue as before so I'm currently downloading the October firmware to try that. Don't give up though, it's a software issue so shouldn't cause your phone to be irreperably damaged but I guess if you can't get it to switch on at all then there's not much you can do.
Samsung you s7 update on 11/17 bricked my phone. It's in a continuous restart loop. Spent 2 hours on phone with tech support and still can't get it working. Samsung need to make good on this phone isn't even 2 years old and never had a problem till this update
I updated my Samsung Galaxy 7 Edge.. and it freezes, slow to load, can't watch video
Angry ... horrible update!!!
Phone is dead after latest update, worked ok, then after charging it wouldn't turn on. Tried reset but seems phone is unable to locate android operating system. Not ideal when away on holiday. Seemingly it was requesting new operating system needs to be loaded from SD card. Think a visit to the Samsung shop will be required.
Installed latest update November 2018 now phone works like crap! Slow to load, FB is screwed up and not receiving emails and difficulty opening them! Why the heck can't they just leave well enough alone!!
JH, 05 Nov 2018the update slowed my phone down and deleted a bunch of my pictures. I also lost over 300 pictures with a previous update. This time i pulled my memory card out of the phone before i did the update, as well as backed them up on a computer just in case. Haven't used my phone much at all and in two hours the batter has dropped down to 76% so every update has made the battery drain worse. I have heard that phone companies have gotten caught sending out updates that trash your battery forcing you to buy a new phone and I feel like that is what we have going on here. I'm really not happy about it.
I Am Having The Same Problem With Battery Draining Quickly, Even When It's Not In Use N All Apps Are Asleep. The Other Issue I Am Having, Is When I Get Called. It I Can Hear My Phone Ringing,But There Is Nothing There. I Can Not Answer Or Reject The Call. It Is Just The Sound Of Someone Calling. I Also Am Having An Issue With Sending Videos. I Can No Longer Post Them To Facebook, Kik. Snapchat. Nothing. It Just Shows A Grey Box With The Number Of How Long It Was Recorded For If I Try To Send It Through The App. If I Go To The Gallery To Try N Send A Video, It Just Keeps Force Closing The App Repeatedly. I Can't Even Upload My Pictures Or Video To Dropbox Anymore. Any Time I Try To Open It, N Select To Upload Videos, Dropbox Immediately Closes.
Only able to adjust alarm time is to delete the old alarm and make another. No longer have the ability to have more than one alarm time. New locked screen notifications are under hidden under older ones. Notification only sound when i move the phone around. Notification i have already read on my PC, are still sent to my phone as new notification when i switch my phone on after having to constantly charge it from going flat on me more often. Phone builders should allow roll an ability for update roll backs. This update not solved any issues, but has created far more.
Phone is dead the moment i installed update. I mean utterly DEAD.
Thanks Samsung.
Since installing the latest update to my Samsung S7, the phone doesn't work properly. And by phone, I mean when people call me, there is dead air and they don't hear me pick up. It just continues to ring on their end. I can make outgoing calls just fine, but that doesn't help when someone is trying to call me. It's a PHONE - this is the basic function of the device. Please fix it!
Got the S7 update today. Now everything on my phone is painfully slow to open and it's killing my battery.
Updated my phone now charger doesn't work have tried 4 different ones b4 finding one that will charge my phone it's not the chargers because I have 2 phones one personal and one for work that doesn't update because it's not connected to wifi and they all work on that one also my battery use to last over a day now I start the day at 100% and keep it in my purse well at work and it's dead by 1hr fter work II can only use my phone if I have it plugged in and even then it goes from 40% to 18 in seconds also everything on my phone glitches now and sometimes when I open an app my screen goes black and I have to keep hitting the power button till it comes back on this new update is bs
