Help me fix rear camera lens distortion on non-Edge S7 - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

I got this T Mobile non-Edge S7 in August 2016 and I noticed that the rear (aka main) camera has some lens distortion (pillow distortion).

My research indicated that the problem is already solved and should have been patched in a firmware update. There should be a "shape correction" option somewhere but I cannot find it in the system or camera settings.
I have the latest OTA update, unsure how to obtain the version of the update, but I checked again and it says it's up-to-date
Device info:
Model: SM-G930T
Android Version 6.0.1
Security Patch Sept 1 2016
Baseband G930TUVU4APIA
Kernel 3.18.20-9226516
Build MMB29M.G930TUVU4APIA
Please help me fix the camera lens distortion
I would prefer to resolve this without using any custom or rooted ROMs
Thanks

Camera Firmware

Just a quick heads-up for those of you who are interested, the current spate of TW 5.0.1 ROMS seems also include a camera firmware upgrade, at least there was one for me on my GT-I9505 when I flashed I9505XXUHOB7_I9505BTUHOB4_I9505XXUHOB7_HOME.tar
For me, these are my before/after versions:
4.4.2
Rear Camera
Cam FW Ver: S13F0SAGB39
Phone FW Ver: S13F0SAGB39
Front Cam FW
Cam FW Ver: S5K6B2YX
Phone FW Ver: S5K6B2YX
ISP FW
S13F0SAGI01​
5.0.1
Rear Camera
Cam FW Ver: S13F0SAGB39
Phone FW Ver: S13F0SAGK01
Front Cam FW
Cam FW Ver: S5K6B2YX
Phone FW Ver: S5K6B2YX
ISP FW
Unable to confirm, as the ISP VER CHECK service menu option is not enabled for me​
Seems like the only upgrade for me was for the Rear Camera Phone FW from S13F0SAGB39 to S13F0SAGK01.
I'm not sure what the difference between Camera FW and Phone FW is?
On the S2 (where you could manually flash camera firmware) I believe Camera FW was the actual camera firmware version, and Phone FW was a camera firmware file on the phone that can be flashed into the camera firmware. If this is the case, I'm not even 100% sure if the firmware has actually been upgraded or not?
By the way, to upgrade your camera firmware (when applicable), you need to start up the Samsung Camera app when on TW. If a camera firmware upgrade is required, you will see the toast message pop up.
You can check your camera firmware version whilst on a TW ROM by entering the following into the dialler:
*#34971539#
I would be interested to see if there are any other versions out there.
But is there any difference between the old firmware and the new one?
Have you noticed anything while using the camera?
I don't know why but I have another firmware. And I still have a problem with the camera shortcut because sometimes it crashes...

NFC not working on 6.0.1 update but yes on 5.1.1 same Phone

Hello everyone.
I have just bought a Sony car radio with NFC so i need to use that but it doesn´t work on my Nexus 5 with last Android version "6.0.1 (M4B30X, Oct 2016)" that i flashed with the official steps.
I thought it could be because of the android version so I flashed back "5.1.1 (LMY48M)" version and NFC is working properly.
Anybody have this problem? how can i fix that on "6.0.1 (M4B30X, Oct 2016)" version?
Thank you very much.
Possibly with a Custom ROM. NFC works fine on most custom marshmallow roms.

Samsung Galaxy S7 crackling audio after installing LineageOS 14.1

Hello everyone,
as already mentioned in the title, after I installed TWRP and LineageOS 14.1, the sound emitted from the external speakers of my cellphone is always crackling.
Before the installation of LineageOS the speakers worked normally: there are no hardware problems.
The crackling sound is only for notifications, ringtones, spotify music output, music player output and Google Assistant output, but not for YouTube output.
Someone can help me?
The Software Info related to my cellphone are:
Model: SM-G930F
Android Version: 7.1.2
LineageOS Version: 14.1-20180124-NIGHTLY-herolte
Android Security Patch Level: 05 January 2018
Kernel Version: 3.18.14-gadb2bc5
Build Number: lineage_herolte-userdebug 7.1.2 NHJ47F 93b18061f6
Can someone please help me?
Thank you.

Before installing the 14.1 version of LineageOs, I installed the 15 version, but I noticed that Wifi connection was broken (it didn't switch on the wifi) and also the torch didn't work (it said that it was always used by the camera, even if the camera was off).
Then, I found out that the 15 version of LineageOs is still in BETA, so I decided to flash the 14.1 version. And now I only have this audio problem...

Looking for 7.0 w/ Pre March 2017 Security patch flash

Can anyone help me out?
I am not sure what OC2, OE2, etc I am looking for. I have flashed using Odin before on an S4, but I just got an S6, w/ 7.0 but it has March 2018 patch. I'm looking for a flash that contains the Dec 2016 security patch, OR a way to degrade the current security patch.
Please do not just respond with "search" I have looked around and no one mentions the security patch date.

SM-N985F (Android 13 Release & October 2022 Security Patch) - Flashable via Odin?

Hi everyone,
Hope you've all been doing well and enjoying a nice weekend.
Wanted to get a hold of you to ask if anyone knows if the SM-N985F Android 13 official upgrade with the October 2022 security patch is Flashable via Odin?
Are there any complications? Also, if there's no complications, which Odin version should I use? Should I keep the defaults or should I tick anything additionally?
I'm unrooted - always have been - so, I'm only looking to clean flash the official firmware I've downloaded from SamMobile.com (as most do with all new firmware upgrades).
Thank you very much in advance.
