Unfortunately I have tried the upgrade assistant and Smart Switch from samsung themselves, and neither will detect it, it highlights the phone red (I assume when it's checking for an update) and then goes back to being white and says under status "Up to date" and my version is still OJ3...
I've tried removing the device from the list, readding it, reinstalling the program, repairing the device to reflash it in hopes of getting it, numerous things.
I'll post images of it.

Have you tried to make a backup and then do a complete factory reset? After it boots the first time try to see if you have the update available in settings.

I have tried this as well. I believe I may know a way to get it through the Upgrade Assistant but I believe I need help from someone who is already updated in order to be able to get it. Anyone up for the task by any chance?
If you go into "C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\VERIZON" you should see a BinaryDB.db file, if uploaded I may be able to use it to trick their servers into thinking my device is updated, but needing a factory reset, then in essence allowing the software to download the files needed to "factory reset" (hehe the update file I need...) my phone.
Another way to do this is go into any folder, type %AppData% and then browse to "Roaming\VERIZON"
I have literally tried everything that I can think of other than this.

Which issues were you having with battery? Because I think I am experiencing it as well. I was expecting a large boost to battery from both the Marshmallow battery features and from using WiFi calling and putting the phone in airplane mode. It doesn't seem to be any better, if anything it seems worse than it was on 5.1.1.

Many of us have seen increased battery drain with the first Verizon Marshmallow update. It's been a difficult thing to narrow down because some claim they have better battery life.

New to Samsung. Got the Note 5 a few weeks ago and immediately jumped to MM. Got the new update today and it just told me my SIM card was removed. I had to reset to get it to register.
I had pretty good battery on the original MM update. I'll know more tomorrow after a full discharge/charge cycle.

So... I'm really confused now.
Multiple searches, and reading tons of this forum on a daily basis for several months now had led me to the conclusion that the i727 and i727R are identical hardware... how is it possible that this isn't working on Rogers? Could it be something as silly as an environment variable set differently somewhere?
Looking forward to seeing a post that somebody cracks this puzzler soon. As far as I can tell all of the ATT and Rogers ROMS up to now were interchangable...
Have I misunderstood, or are these phones not physically (chipset, hardware...) identical?

They are as identical as two phone with different branding can be. The software is different and that leak is very AT&T specific. So there's something in there that screws up the R. If you take it south and run an AT&T SIM I'll bet it works just fine. The good news is that it is software so someone will find it and make a more generic version. Besides, I'm here to *not* run a stock ROM so I'm staying far away until it settles down and the devs have dived in.

Alright, beautiful. this works on my Rogers i727R. Just I have the home button issue. I'll look over the phone to see what else is working and not working over the next few hours while I'm in class.
Thanks!
Edit:
1) Receiving errors when trying to download apps on the market.
2) Trying to fix the home button. It works on start up on the homescreen, but once an app opens it stops working.
both known issues with fixes. (the main at&t threads talk about his)
Factory reset until home issue goes away
clear data/force stop to download apps.
joshuaauger said:
Here's how I fixed that. I ran dark side super wipe before install then install, run wipe data factory/ reset, wipe dalvik, fix permissions. (Overkill but hey just in case). After, when first boot comes up and the AT&T setup shows, click cancel then next. RIGHT when that's done pull the battery, before any apps install. Start back up and was fine, no home button issue but still no working reboot menu.
Anyways might work for others.

I had that same error on my skyrocket but it fixed after i did a factory reset and the market updated to the play store.

Nice! Does this update the modem & baseband as well? Can you post a screen of your About Phone settings?

Touch issues / Screen sensitivity issues on Nougat

Okay so I wanted feedback regarding this whether someone else is experiencing this or not.
I have gradually observed during the last few days that a lot of my touches to click have gone unresponsive in Nougat. Initially it was something that I hadnt quite noticed but slowly the trend became obvious. Now dont get me wrong, this would happen a few times here and there with lollipop and MM as well, but the rate is far higher now on Nougat. Especially when typing on the keyboard this means mis-spelled words, missed letters, and accuracy is far worse now.
Has anyone else observed this or is it just me?
oh
Yup i notice it too....keyboard also samsung and gboard. Sux! Bout to go back to mm

Yeah I think i am on the same position you are.
What i just cant figure out is that is this affecting Everyone after the update and people are failing to notice the increased frequency in missed touches OR whether its just a problem for a small number of people.
I am going to try to hold off for a few more days and hope if a solution magically appears lol cause i really dont want to root.
Only way without root would be ota from tmobile. Doubt that will happen

Some people elsewhere mentioned it is possible to downgrade by ODINing previous stock software. Do you think that's a good idea?
I've noticed touch issues, touch input lag when opening Chrome and immediately begin to type and they replaced the period(.) with a question mark(?) on the Samsung keyboard which is so annoying.

You can ODIN back to Marshmallow without rooting your phone. I did it yesterday and I am back on MM.
All of you did full wipes? Full Clean installs?
---------- Post added at 01:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 AM ----------
I just used TWRP to wipe wipe wipe the phone. (cache, dalvik, system, data)
Then flashed 7.0 via odin and so far I do not see the touch issues you all are referring to.
Did you all just update via OTA / Smart Switch or even Odin the ROM with out wiping system?
I even tested with piano tiles 2. Never have played the game before in my life and got a perfect on the first song.
XCover 4 Android nougat
Just got the xcover 4 and it and has the same issue. It was worse with the screen protector so i removed it.
Even with the touch sensitivity (glove mode) set to on things get worse.
+1 on these issues, clean install with several wipes.
Battery life also seems worse.

Well first off why are you talking to me like that?
I said nothing about me being special for you to respond with "I don't care who you are".
Not everyone here wipes, there are plenty of new users or people that simply don't have the experience.
I have no idea who you are so I merely suggested a possible common step to try.
I have a note 5 and my wife has a note 5 and we don't experience such issues. I am particular and OCD enough for this to drive my crazy if it were the case. Perhaps something else is going on here.
Anyways, I hope you have a better day tomorrow then you had today.

There is also a 2nd update to 7.0 so perhaps they fixed it.
I am currently using a T-Mobile Note 5 (N920T) that is unrooted (for now). It has Nougat 7.0 installed. I'm using the Nova launcher because I hate TouchWiz and am using the SwiftKey keyboard. I find that the phone is very sensitive to touch, and I get the best results by using a very light and short touch. If I touch too hard or hold a fraction too long, I'm experiencing the same problems. Since my launcher and kbd are not Samsung standard, I don't know if this is any help to others, but I'm not having any problems at this time.

Letters "e" and "h" dilemma.

EMUI 5
What the hell's up with this? It's been happening ever since I got the phone, gradually getting worse. Nowadays it doesn't let me write the two letters next to one another, period.
"vicle"
"bavior"
Etc.
Have you tried using a new keyboard?
Ugh, I had the same problem.
I messed with all the settings, auto correct settings, i tried different keyboards, i tried changing languages, i tried hitting it, i tried telling at it, I tried clearing the cache on everything.
Nothing worked.
Nothing at all.
I HATE Huawei. Fix your damn bugs!
The ONLY solution, is a complete factory reset. There is nothing else you can do.

Afraid it's not limited to the keyboard. It's on a system level. Apps and whatnot with the words display them incorrectly.
This may be a common issue I reported in another post. If you have Google Gboard installed try uninstalling the update. It will revert to stock Google Keyboard. This fixed weird keyboard issues for me.

Well, you're SOL then, because a factory reset is your only option.
Trust me, I tried absolutely everything to get it to work. Nothing did.
You'll at minimum have to root it, which will involve a wipe anyway.
So save your stuff and take some time off in a weekend, or live with it.
Either way, I'm sure you'll be in the same boat as me when you say this will be the last Huawei I'll ever buy. These bugs are inexcusable, and going months whithout a fix is even worse.

I'll definitely be looking elsewhere for my next smartphone. As if the denial of releasing the kernel for the Honor 8 to get stable custom ROMs wasn't enough. Great phone otherwise. 'tis a shame.
Do you use the default font? I remember some theme here in XDA that has a bugged font. Didn't let me type "e" and "h" normally until I changed back to the default font
That was it. I no longer have an issue with typing "e" and "h." Thanks, you're a life saver!
Strange little bug though.
That's really strange. I'm not using the default font, but that only started happening after a few months of using it.
Also, after factory wiping, it started working fine again, but I'm using the same custom font now and it's working fine.
What the hell?

Question [Camera Failed]

Hello all. Often I get lag and camera failed error. It happens mostly when I launch camera from double press off power key, into video mode. The camera is unusable for some time.
*How do I update the camera APK from APK mirror. I always get app not installed when side loading system apps. This issue I had on previous Samsung flagships.
is the app your trying to sideload signed ? are you rooted ? sorrry they seem like obvious questions and i think i remember your name from back in the day on the evo 3d forum ??? so your not new to this, but had to check

Thanks for reply. I mean they are from APK mirror but not sure if signed. I'm not rooted and have no plans to.
Hahaha you got me, I'm an old head lol. Haven't needed to get help often so yeah it's been a while
I would not side load this.
There may be a glitch with using the side key to launch it.
Try in safe mode to rule out a 3rd party app...
Keep trashware social media apps like WhatsApp, Tic-tok, FB, etc off the phone.
Clear system cache.
Clear cam data and try again.
thought the name seemed familiar, think weve crossed paths several times with various devices over the years, you would need root to sideload it im quite sure, as it would be trying to overwrite the original app

Go to Device Care and in memory clear the cache apps. Now try the side switch cam thing, after it launches go immediately back to Device Care and see what apps loaded since it was cleared.
It may give a clue to the cause. I've used this technique to track down some nasty little buggers. It's saved me from a factory reset.

Yup that's what I hit. Only camera app shows up. I will try to isolate the problem and see what conditions this behavior occurs.

Do you have the return option still available?
This problem occurs more than you might think. I am extremely annoyed at paying dearly for a smartphone full of annoying problems. I get even more annoyed because Samsung doesn't release software updates to fix this. The last update for my version was released in Feb.

I was hoping last week's 1557mb update would fix this...
And no return option. I pre-ordered

Galaxy S6 - Can't do anything at all

I recently got myself a free Galaxy S6 in topaz blue 32GB version. It was missing a battery so I put one in and it surprisingly seemed to work, well until some stuff started showing on the screen.
Unfortunately, the phone seems it can't mount any partitions whatsoever. Upon booting I get various messages about not being to able open or mount partitions, which unfortunately means I can't access the recovery menu. Have tried installing many different original softwares from various carriers but nothing seems to work. One thing which I did get working is TWRP, I managed to install it via odin, but now all the different storages show up as 0MB, tried various tips from youtube but none seem to work. I can push files to it via ADB but none can install due to no partitions being able to be mounted. I can't even wipe any partitions via odin. I'm starting to suspect the device probably had the storage encrypted somehow.
I've given up all hopes now , can someone please help me? Is there even any help for my device?
First off you should never have even rooted this device. When u root a device it voids all warranty. Second have you tried buying a different battery.

To my knowledge, the device wasn't rooted as stated by the previous owner when I went to pick it up, and right now it is using a 1 year old battery so I don't think that's an issue.
Do you have a way to live stream the phone so I can walk you through a couple things.

Not too familiar with that but I've heard of it before. I'll have to make an account first but that's no big deal

Okay so I made an account and have set it up on my phone aswell, but I think my internet connection is either too slow or not stable enough because the stream keeps ending on me and freezing. I don't know how we could do this but would youtube do? Sorry I'm not good with these streaming things as I've never done it before lol
