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

As long as it doesn't install itself.

Incoming Verizon Update
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"?

Getting AT&T Update today not sure yet what it is will let yall know unless someone tells us first.

Does anyone know if this can be installed on encrypted phones? I'd hate to go through a wipe, update, and reinstall again for a minor update.

And the answer is, yes - this can be installed while the phone is encrypted.

Yes, mine's encrypted and the update worked fine.

Is this the software I been hearing about that you can't revert back to 4.4

I wonder how the battery is? I remember I had great battery on the first LP update, then a minor update came and battery went to hell..

dont notice any difference between COC4 and COC5. I dont know have the changelog but nothing noticeable. Not that I was expecting anything with such a minor update.

This is what I found

I can't update. All i can get is "Software update interrupted , software up to date please try in 24 hours". Anybody capture this update so i can push by ADB ? or any other idea ?( i push date 5 day forward and same message).

This update fixed the call forwarding issue between my note 4 and my Gear s. Before this update, going to the phone app, then settings, then call forwarding resulted in a sim card error and wouldn't let me enable it. Now, I don't get the error.

Can anyone confirm odin roll back if we take this update. Anyone?

This update fixed my issues with newly activated VoLTE service in my area. Before I was experiencing issues where my voice would not transmit for about 10 seconds or more and people could not hear me, however, I could hear them perfectly. This was frustrating in business calls. The update remedied this situation for me. No more VoLTE issues even without a factory reset.

@Venom0642
??????

All these scared people who want others to take every update and try it out first for them (newsflash... no 2 people have exactly the same usage patterns). I'm sure you could tell me every single time someone posted about battery life, etc and how every update has ruined someone. Those are the extreme exception take the risk let it update. Do a full cache wipe after the update, always a good idea anyways, and deal with it.
90% or more of phones that broke via update are user driven issues. "I'm rooted, I use home made charger cables, have 128 gig worth of apps installed, have my screen set to stay on full bright all day long, and keep my phone underwater, and that update is killing my battery life"

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

RCS x Unlocked x T-Mobile?

Does anybody have RCS working in Samsung Messages and Google Messages now with T-Mobile, on the unlocked Note? According the the Verge, it's available:

Still doesn't work for me.

I had to play around with mine a few times to get it to work. The main thing was to be off of wifi. Then go into the settings and select chat features once or twice even if it shows disabled. A reboot also was needed for me to get it, but make sure you're off of WiFi.

I joined the beta when it was available. After that, whenever it went all wonky, I would toggle it on and off a few times and that worked.

If Samsung messages isn't getting you RCS, check to see if your CSC is set to t-mobile.

Question S21 FE 5G - problem with gesture typing

Hi. Yesterday I got new S21 FE 5G and I have problem with gesture typing. As you can see in the video below, when I try to type longer words with fast finger slide, the keyboard often "loses" my move and starts a second one, resulting in typing two different words, instead of one. Tested on a Samsung and Gboard keyboard. I have found many threads across the internet about this problem on S22, but they say it was fixed in June by software update. Now we have October and this issue exist on my S21 Fe. Any ideas on how this can be fixed?

Same here. I tried both keyboards too. It is the worst phone I have ever owned. I can't believe a high-end phone has such problems and such a bad camera.

Some people on Reddit say that this problem appeared since September update, but I can't confirm this as I bought phone this week. That's why I am wondering if it is damaged touchscreen and I should return phone or just wait for update.

I have the same. And it started 2 updates ago.

I noticed there is a new update CVI5 (snapdragon). I installed it and I can swipe type with no error. However I am not used to doing this and I am a bit slow at it so I cannot recreate this issue. Maybe you can test after this update and let us know if it's fine now.

I have this update since wednesday, it didn't change anything for me.

I have this problem sometimes after the update
I was thinking it due to my new screen protector
I hope someone can port a pixel rom to this device

Hey
I also have the same problem!!!
And yes, I confirm that I've only had the problem for a few months (after a system update....)
it's very annoying, I slide very fast on the keys and, it takes a lot of time to check and correct the texts entered......
And i confirm that I already installed the latest firmware (CIV5....)

Hello. I have the same problem. I bought the phone 2 weeks ago and was immediately offered an update. After that I have the same problem with every keyboard. Has anyone contacted support yet?

Thank you !
Edit:
I also opened a post on the French Samsung forum.... @coolawy , I also copied your screenshot, thx

So far I only got the tip to reset the settings of the Samsung keyboard to the default setting. Of course it didn't help.
Then I should send a bug report through the Members App. I did, but haven't gotten a response yet.

Same here! They set the post as solved and asked me to contact the support by email
I replied that they can't set the thread as solved and they have to remove this tag.

I wrote to polish Samsung support about a month ago. They were replying fast, but they weren't helpful at all, so maybe you aren't missing anything.
I am wondering if this issue is fixed in November update? Has anyone already received it?

Today the support answered my email.... they just asked me to install Gboard while i said it doesn't work with gboard too......
No comments......

Hello there, how are you??
Did you test with refresh rate set at 60 instead of 120 ???
I just tried and it seems that I don't have the issue
Could someone have a try? Thx
Edit:
I talked to fast.... the issue is the same, even with the refresh rate set at 60...
Maybe a little better.... but still have the issue

I thought it was a unique problem, but then it's typical. I have the same problem. I hope that switching to Android 13 will solve the problem.

I'm having the same problem on gboard. I thought it was my screen protector cause I've installed a new one recently.
