Feels smoother and faster. Ram management looking good so far. Well see in long run...

Just got the update, seemed to fix the issues I was having. (chrome is still meh, but I'm pretty sure that's just an app update that's needed) Really surprised Sprint got this out so quickly.

I received it to and I was rooted with non knox trip, but root is gone. I have not tried new root yet. I will let rom settle and see what happens.

Better calls

Build number was updated. Most of us were having modem issues such as dropping calls so Samsung gave us this update to take care of that. It was a software problem. I got the same update. Thanks. It was 128MB.

I'm shocked Sprint was the first to push the update. I'm on tmobile and flashed the international update and didn't notice any difference, but I haven't really had any issues to begin with.

Sorry, Actually even though it breaks it can it be redone or does it not allow you to do it anymore?

Does not allow it to work anymore. It will ask you to subscribe.

Does ping-pong root still work?

Just got it at as well. Glad to see Sprint / Samsung staying on top of things.

was anyone able to pull the update!?

Does it solve the RAM issue and standby issue?

Fyi. Twrp doesn't work on new update. Had to flash back.

Earlier today I had a crash of the radios and shortly thereafter android. I had to reboot to get back up and running with cell service. I had just installed the update a few hours previous. Hopefully it was just a fluke.
Anyone know if the update was software only or if it included an updated radio? I forgot to check versions. I assume only android software.

Haven't found a change log anywhere....BUT my battery drain isn't nearly as bad before the update ftw

I've always had pretty good battery life, but my data reception at work was terrible before the update. Not sure if an update radio was included since i didnt check before, but my signal has become much much better since the update.

Verizon Auto Update.
Was on my phone and saw something downloading, it's an update. Has anyone else gotten this on VZW?

Just got the notification. Waiting on WiFi it says.

Nothing special

I'm going to avoid it in case they patched something. So far it seems you can avoid it by staying off of WiFi.
edit: It started downloading on LTE... I killed Software Update and it keeps respawning.

If you go in to system updates through the settings and check for the update, you have 3 options, No Thanks, Download Later, and Download Now.
If you click No Thanks, the alert goes away. It will even state in the system update app that the last update (on June 30th, 2105) failed.
Download later allows you to choose a time that better suits you.
And of course Download Now, starts the process right now.
Hope this helps.

When i go to system update all i have is update now or later. I don't get the no thanks option.

I didn't get any pop up notifications. I was on WiFi and it just started downloading by itself.

Just downloaded and installed software changed to 11A, so far only thing ive noticed is keyboard is a lot smother so far no missed taps
Also seems to have helped with wifi issue before it was like i was on dial up, couldnt get a page to load but now i can actually use wifi

Yes, waiting to d/load it later today.
From Droid-Life:
An update is rolling out for the LG G4 on Verizon, bringing a few features to owners, but nothing all that special. The software version is labeled as VS98611A.
Included is an enhanced Folio display while a call is taking place, an updated consistency for displaying contacts and non-contacts in the Dialer app, and an enhanced Advanced Calling feature. That’s it.

Wow that is very odd...
I didn't have to do anything to be able to Choose "No Thanks".
I operate on a Federal Corporate line I wonder if that has any affect.
If you disable Wifi are you able to click "No Thanks"?

lollipop issues fixed with one app....

Okay I have a note 4 and ever since 5.0 and even 5.1 my phone with wifi on would lag .... chrome would load slow, some apps wouldn't load, app store would take minutes for everything to load, facebook, etc.....
I downloaded DNSet from app store set it to auto start and now my phone is 100% working no problems, this is after many cache wipes, factory resets....
Hope this helps someone if they are having problems like I have.

An app is worth a shot...I downloaded it, and have it set, so we will see how well it does...I notice a little bit of speed increase when opening up Web pages and apps. If this keeps up, thanks for the info.

I use package disabler. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpro&hl=en

Thanks to you both! These apps rock!

Yeah, package disabler made this phone way quicker and improved battery life dramatically. Thank you for the suggestion.

The app knows what is safe. You hit remove all bloatware and it does it for you. I had to turn back on my calendar and a few things, but its really easy.

Dnset made my browser easily 10x faster.

Yeah I just used the other app with DNSet and now my phone is like it was when I first bought it.

Just downloaded both of these and they've worked wonders! Only complain is that DNSet leaves the icon in my notification tray all the time.

I've noticed that when on WiFi (on 5.1.1) that my battery drains at least twice as fast than when it's off. Could DNSet or Package Disabled apps mentioned here correct this problem?

HUUUUUGE screenshot, LOL. :D
That's odd. Normally there are 2 options: Set as Priority and Block. Block is missing and would've blocked all notifications from that app. So for some reason, the app designer decided that the notification is necessary and should never be removed :(
Sorry. I thought what I said would've helped. :([COLOR="Silver"]

I don't know about DNSet since I'm not actually using it, but Package Disabler might at least help increase battery life in other areas, causing the wifi drain to be less noticeable.

I could not get DNSet to work, but I use package disabler and greenify. Really improved my battery life.

So after installing Package Disabler I can't save any screen writing I do. When I go to save it just says, "Screen Write has stopped". I've gone through the list of packages that are disabled and I've re-enabled everything that looked like it could be related to the S-Pen but no dice. Anyone else experienced this or have any ideas?

I use S NOTE all the time and no issues with Package Disabler. Try rebooting your phone after enabling packages possibly related.

I have this same issue; not sure what's going on. Haven't been able to rectify it. Luckily the only time I'm on WiFi is when I'm home and can charge, but it is very annoying.

S7 active update

Anyone else get the update??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using XDA-Developers mobile app

It's installing now. Any idea what is new/updated in this?

got the update biggest change was wifi calling not sure what else

Just got mine used and updated it today. Saw the wifi calling but didn't read the rest, I did notice mine was on the May security update and now it's on the July update so could be that.

They also removed all traces of the Oculus software that was originally on our devices. So no chance of getting VR support for these devices in the future then

wifi calling now available (eg wifi-only calling, BUT no wifi-only messaging so thats kinda stupid...)
activity zone 'compass mode' with 'map mode' (which never worked, only said 'google services is updating' removed
advanced messaging (separate balloon per text/attachment, and 'xxx is typing' is new)

Great news! The recent update 8/11/2016 fixed the dpi error we were getting. I was able to successfully change my dpi using the display scaling app. View attachment 3839483

I checked on the official site (which just recently added the phone on the site, as I've been checking often), and they don't have any info on updates or anything posted yet.
So far I noticed: WiFi Calling and Messaging, Message Scheduling (Don't think I noticed this before), Security Update, Removal of Oculus (the setup for the full Oculus Software), Advanced Messaging for AT&T customers, and Text Counter.
If we see anything else, I'll add to this, or we can hope for release notes/ change log

Anyway i can update this without att sim? Im using cricket

Should be able to

I have the s7 active and the battery life is OK not great but ok and the update installed WiFi calling and text messaging works on WiFi

The only times I've ever had good battery life on any Android device were and continue to be from custom roms and kernels. No stock rom including stock nexus roms give me good battery life. That being said, my used S7A is actually not too bad for everything stock without root and it had better with such a big battery.

That is likely due to compression in the SMS client you're using. I don't know what AT&T's limitations are on file size for MMS, but I do know third-party SMS apps allow for tweaking of that. I use Textra currently, and can set a max upload/send size in the options. I know other SMS apps have similar functionality, but I doubt the stock one does.

Another update today, looks to be only security fixes for Aug. I'm actually surprised they released it IN Aug and not months down the line. Lol

My phone's baseband version is G891AUCU1APE7, and build number is MMB29M.G891AUCU1APE7.
Am I unable to update my phone forever?

General New System Update (62.1.A.0.587)

Hello,
this morning I got a message about a new system update 62.1.A.0.587, 313.5MB.
By searching the web I found no info related to this update, which is somehow strange.
I guess it could contain fixes for the various bugs that were reported on Android 12.
However, I think I will wait a while before update my device, just to be sure...
Any news?

I updated to this new build just a few hours ago, so far no issues. I had some issues on the previous build where taking pictures through WhatsApp didn't always work, seems to be fixed now. Let me know if you want me to test something.

Here's the details, they updated the security update version to april. Google play update you could already do on previous build independently.

I've just updated to this new version and to me it looks like the display issue (green tint, crushing of black levels) is finally gone. I hope I'm not getting crazy. I'll take a closer look after work.

Anyone using Android 12 found that Wifi auto-connect is not working? I mean even if Wifi is turned off. If you enter the range for a previously connected Wifi, the phone should automatically turn on Wifi and connect to it.
It used to work in Android 11 but doesn't work anymore since upgrading to Android 12.

mmm ... maybe I'm wrong,
but for me that option allows to auto-connect to a saved WiFi network only when the WiFi is ON.
How the device could be aware if you are in range of a WiFi spot if the WiFi itself is OFF?

I'm still using Android 11 as I decided to wait at least one update before upgrade to Android 12. But as this update didn't change the material layout, now I'm planning to wait some more...

It's a new feature introduced in Android 11. I don't know the exact technical details but it seems to utilize the location of the phone to detect if you're near a previously connected Wifi spot.
And according to the link below, this feature was broken after Android 12 Jan update and was fixed in Mar update.
Google Pixel 6 Wi-Fi auto-connect issue persists after January update
Some Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro owners say that their phone does not auto-connect to their Wi-Fi even though the setting is enabled.

https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/...matically-connect-to-specific-wi-fi-networks/ - "Android 11 has a new toggle in the settings panel for Wi-Fi networks called 'Auto-connect,' and when it is switched off, your device won't automatically connect to the given network as soon as it is discovered."
I think it's related to location, so location must be enabled. But this is just guess, as I don't use this option and wifi is always on.

I updated yesterday, everything seems fine for now, with no evident changes with respect to the previous one.
I appreciated the fact that Sony released two updates so closer in time.

I updated yesterday as well. After 24 hours I noticed that the battery drain caused by the previous update is much better now. No other notable changes other than that
