Is there a fix for this
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

I'll let others chime in with this, but I'll say that my previous S7 did that same thing - and never stopped through an entire year. I thought it was something with the firmware and waited IMPATIENTLY until it updated, still rebooted on it's own - then I figured why not root and see if I can fix it, same issues. I wish I would have returned it in the 14 days and gotten another.
If it were happening to me, I wouldn't deal with it, I'd replace it asap.

Did anyone else get an update this morning?

Could this possibly be Jellybean? I'd prefer to use wi-fi to download it, just curious as to whether or not anyone else has an idea..
No update and probably it will be on Sam mobile by now, I didn't see it earlier so I doubt is jellybean

Before this gets way out of hand, what are you running now? ROM/Kernel (version numbers)
I just checked mine and I got nothing.
I have a feeling what the OP hasnt said yet is that he just bought the phone and is getting LH2 now while everyone else got it 5 weeks ago.

I've had the phone since release. I reverted back to stock (VALEM) about two weeks ago and this morning I received a notice for the update. I went home just now to check it out and yeah, it was (VALH2). I just found that odd that it took that long to get a notice. Apologies. I wasn't trying to stir anything up.
Could be an update to fix the reset hack problem

[Q] Camera not working.

I bought this phone a few months ago and knew ahead of time the camera had previous issues. Thing is, it appears to be both hardware AND software related. The front camera works for face unlock in certain roms. The camera app on any rom results in it opening but when pressing anything in the camera I get a freeze and a force close. Same goes for any app that tries to use the led flash. Has anyone had something similar to this issue? Im curious what the cause is, also, has anyone tried physically swapping the part out and can give any tips?

Seems to be a hardware issue. Have you tried checking the connection on the motherboard? I have never had issues with software unless I forgot to check hardware connections.

Yeah I just ordered a tool kit with the screws required. Gonna take a look at it and hopefully If it works I can turn quite a profit. I bought this phone for 40 dollars.

Took the phone apart and checked the camera. I replugged it back in and it still did not work. Order a new camera for 10 dollars on ebay and will try again.

If that doesn't work, you should do a one click restore to stock. That could possibly fix it.

Already one clicked a few times and nothing changed.

Update : Ordered a new camera, came about 10 minutes ago in the mail. I replaced it and everything is working fine. For future reference. I'd the back camera does not work, neither will the flash. My flash did not work until I replaced the faulty camera.

AT&T *Very Soon* :crying:
I'll believe it when I see it!
Not sure how much stock I would put in to that article as it sounds like it was written by a middle-schooler.

If we did get it, it'll be at least 2-3 months after Samsung releases it. Most likely though, ATT will just trash the update and hope we upgrade our phones to the Note 5.

I just checked my note 4, no update as of right now.
I have no plan or desire to "upgrade" to Note 5... no SD card, no user-replacable battery is NO "upgrade" as far as I am concerned. Samsung is losing touch with users, all for $ to snuggle up in bed with carriers.

Android N is out soon - Why hasnt AT&T given us the update already??

So its been 3 days and I haven't complained about AT&T. Its too long.
I figure if we start this now, we might get this N update on time.

Way too soon, and AT&T could care less about the 50 of us that do care.

Lol N is most LIKELY NOT coming. I'd be seriously surprised to see N on my Note 5 without a custom ROM.
As much as I like to see AT&T to have Nougat on Note 5, I doubt that it will happen especially they just pushed out MM to Note 5. If we are lucky, it would be around the time Google introduces the O. I will be more happy if I can get a regular security update on Note 5 instead of hoping for the Nougat.

Does scam ID work for anyone?

So I have scam ID enabled on my account, #664#
But so far not a single scam call got flagged.
When I had my pixel "scam likely"would show up without me looking to do anything
T-Mobiles excuse / solution was for me to add the numbers to their list.
Has anybody seen it work?

It's worked for me since day one right out of the box.
It also has worked for me since the day I got it.
