Samsung beta tester of android 7 for s7 edge, replacement phone. - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

managed to get Beta version of nougat for my s7 edge in the UK.
I then lost the phone and received a replacement new s7 edge.
Any way to reinstall it ? when i download the beta testing app it says maximum number reached ?
Any idea when official version will be released ?

Beta 1 can be flashed with ODIN, other than that, you'll have to wait for the final unless Samsung open up testing again, which is unlikely
Testing period is until the end of dec, so your guess is as good as anyones for final

R732XXU2CPC5 update

What's new and will the firmware R732XXU2CPC5 support the iPhone?
http://www.sammobile.com/2016/03/31/samsung-gear-s2-gets-another-software-update/
Brings the same features as R732XXU2CPB7, and I've just tested, it does NOT support the iPhone.
Anyway to download the firmware for wireless odin? I can't update through gear manager since downgrading to use with an iPhone? I got a s7 edge just for this and I'm stuck on "your Gear has been modified and cannot be updated". Thanks
I have not seen the first one. My Gear S2 sport is on R720XXU2BPA4

I have yet to see CPB7 let alone CPC5. My Gear S2 Classic is still on BPA4 as well. Has anyone in the US seen either update yet?

Updated 2 days ago in central Europe, battery looks for me much much better - after approx. 50 hours still about 50%, with previous firmware same conditions on 10% . IPhone connectivity not tested - i have no one.
Im confused. I have the tmobile version of gear s2 which i think is lte. What is the latest support firmware version? I have AOL3 version currently.
Thx

Updated to CPC5 here in Canada (west coast) on 11 Apr 16. New auto brightness and airplane mode. Maybe more. Will test as time permits.
Received CPC5 update on Gear S2 Classic (wifi) today in Virginia/USA.
I initiated the update manually, so don't know when it actually became available....
Does anyone have the ODIN Flashable Package for this R732XXU2CPC5 Update ?
Got the R732XXU2CPC5 around 2:00 am today by manually checking for update. I'm in Northern VA
I got mine last night by manually updating. I'm in Georgia.
I installed Samsung gear app on iphone and it says NO GEAR DEVICES. App says to update gear software. My version software on samsung gear s2 is: R720XXU2BOKK. Version: KNOX. I will try to update it with a samsung mobile and then I will come back to the iphone and try it.
Just to give more information, my girfriend has a Samsung gear s2 too and she has version software: R720XXU2AOJ3. Version: KNOXX. She is able to pair the iphone with her samsung gear s2 without the application, just as a bluetooth device. I was able to do it as well but I made a big mistake of pairing it with a samsung mobile and I updated the software of the samsung gear s2, then came back to my iphone and the Iphone didn't find samsung gear S2.
Still doesn't fix the "always on isn't always on" problem. (When you enable display always on, it goes completely blank after a while and needs a button press to get back).
Wow, the auto brighness is effing stupid.
Before, I had always on screen and outside, I could tolerate brightness of 3, and could see al lof my watch faces and notifications.
Now the damn thing is always at its highest and blows through 80% in less than 12 hours.
ANd I dont even check it as often anymore.
Just give me a damn off button for auto brightness, god.

I had this problem, too.
Did you set the Gear S2 already back to factory settings? Afterwards my iPhone found the Gear and started working with the app.

Yes sir! I've done it and now it's working! Thank you !
Having tried manual updates many times it (SM-R732) finally updated automatically today. I don't notice much difference on the auto-brightness, maybe because I have the brightness set pretty low (3)? Still good to have the addition of Flight Mode.

Thanks for this good news. Do you know if the Galaxy S7 will soon get this new interface (with android 7.1.1 for example), or if we have to wait for the android O update ?

You're welcome. I also asked them few days ago will S7 get 7 1.1 Nougat and they told me: "YES. BUT WE ARE NOT SURE WHEN". I hope that they will bring it with 7.1.1. Also they didn't say with what version will S7 get new UI. If I find out I will let you know.

Google is set to release the next iteration of its Android OS Android O on 21 August which is the day of the US total solar eclipse. While we are just a day away from the launch, most of the smartphone manufacturers are now gearing up to provide the new update to their recently launched smartphones. As such, one of the top brands Samsung is also preparing for the update and is looking forward to providing Android O for its smartphones with its Grace UI on top which will be better optimized to run the software smoothly. While the company has been a bit slow in providing updates, hopefully, this time Samsung rolls out the update at a much faster pace.
Looking at Nougat, Samsung got the first updates out to the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge in China and the UK 143 days after Google released Android 7.0. The update took a grand total of 180 days to reach US shores, landing first on T-Mobile, followed by AT&T the day after and Sprint two days after that. Verizon hobbled across the finish line a couple of weeks later. -- What the actual f(*)ck, samsung?!
you might be right, mate!
Good news for s7 users. But android O is really worst than android N reported by some forums due to less root capabilites and different system structure.

Is it possible to update an unlocked AT&T SM-N986U outisde of the US?

Hello there,
I live in Malaysia and recently, I bought a note 20 ultra 5G. I bought it online and device works fine. I wanted to update the device but it kept saying that my device is up to date which is false because I am running Android 11 with 1 July 2021 Android Security Patch Level. I found out that since this device is carrier based (AT&T), and in order to update it, I need to be in the United States, running the phone with an AT&T SIM. I obviously have no intentions of going to the United States solely to update my phone. I tried searching for answers and found no results. I'm too scared of simply flashing the latest AT&T firmware with Odin, fear of the device being bricked with no way of me restoring it or for some reason the device will be carrier locked and I can't use my Malaysian SIMs in the phone anymore. My current baseband is N986USQU2DUF2.
Is there any way that I can update the phone? Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
edit: I meant to type "Android 11 with 1 July 2021" it has been fixed.
Rule #1 if a OS is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission, let it be.
Upgrades, updates can and do break devices.
This silly stock N10+ hasn't been updated in 2.5 years and is running happily on Pie. Current load will be 2 yo in June with only minimal maintenance. Security is not an issue.

I hear you. Don't be crying about poor performance, loss of usability and functionality.
No roll back if the bootloader is updated and then you are boned if the upgrade turns into a downgrade.
My opinion is:
10 is a wash, you lose some functionality and what you gain doesn't make up for what you lost.
11 takes away more than it gives.
12 is a fubar. A complete mess. UI, speed suck and it excels at puking on its users.
13? come on... can't you see where this is going?
Testing it first before sacrificing your device be best. Dumb gf's can be useful...
For new versions wait at least a few months to see what users say.
Buy an Apple instead, 12 is a bad copy of Apple's lame restrictive scoped storage security

You can join the beta thought Samsung member if samsung will launch it in your country. But, since we are talking about Android, you will be able to manually flash the beta even if it's not available in your countyr.
