Nougat - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

When will we see a Nougat update for the Unlocked (SM-G930u) model?

Unfortunately with the quarterly update schedule of the g930u, I think it will be a good couple weeks, if not a month or two before we even see the nougat update. Samsung seems like they dropped the ball in supporting our unlocked US version.

Where can I find the info you based that off of?

thread from samsung forums about the g930u and its update cycle:
https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...930U-G935U-Security-Updates/td-p/47620/page/5
hope it helps!

Im on PB6 too. Samsung should release the next update with april security patch within the next few weeks
Does the location and language settings used for initial setup has anything to do with the delay of the updates? Just curious to know, where do guys get the International version in USA?

global version (930F) is available at swappa dot com, Best Buy, and B&H Photo/Video
Been on APB6 too on my G930F for a while. It's an international version I got from eBay, using it on prepaid. Initial language setup was set as united kingdom but I changed it to united States. I'm a bit jealous hearing other European origin variants got updates

G930FD here. Duos version. Didn't expect the updates to be so quick. Already on April patch. While my Duos G4 isn't getting quick updates as promised by LG. LG only gives priority in updates only for the International(Single SIM) version. But Sammy's case is quite unexpected.
Ditto here, but still on PB4 / Feb patch. (G930F)
I've only had it a few days, but this is the only reason I got this one over the carrier variant. Meanwhile T-Mobile and Verizon have already released updates with the April patch.
Lovely! ....

edit: nevermind, maybe I should look under your name

What happened the October update for unlocked devices?

Nothing in the UK for unlocked S7/S7E, I believe the US/Canada/Australia the same. Now the carriers have pushed it out just not Samsung themselves for unlocked devices.

Nothing in the UK,
In fact looking at Sammobile they only release every other month if your lucky for unlocked BTU, while Vodafone UK has firmware out every month.

A lot less regularly than I was expecting, got mine in July and 2 updates since then, thought it would be a delay of about a month with network provider updates but they've came to a standstill. The security patch level is 1st August.

Yes not very impressive from Samsung.
Yeah, I'm on BTU too and they don't update it often.
It should be monthly like the way Vodafone are doing it.

Exactly, Thats one of the reason people buy a carrier free phone. Folks on android always blame the carriers for the delays in updates but who exactly do you blame here?

Is Nougat 7.0 expected this month for 930t

As title states ...Google browsing don't seem to say anywhere even tho tmobile HTC m10 got 7.0
Is 7.0 official expected to be rolled out anytime soon even within this month for our phones ?
Any credible sources?
Just a bit tired of running the vzw version of 7.0 on my 930t
Sent from my SM-G930V using XDA-Developers Legacy app
It is suppose to drops this month but there was a talk of Samsung skipping the 7.0 version of Nougat and going straight to 7.1.1. If that really is the case, expect if before the 20th of January and if it's 7.0, sometime this week.
Any way possible that since metro runs on tmobile that the ota expected ... is proprietary or gonna be givin for metro s7 as well.. I have that model but I Odin flashed..tmobile stock on it when I got it.
So I can get the tmobile 7.0 as well if I want
But...
I'm also seriously having hard time finding metro version of latest 6.0.1 to revert back.
The few links I found on here failed to flash.
I' notice if you try sammobile the g930ti on sammobile version don't boot to a metro firmware it still is tmobile.

Unable to update to Oreo

Hi,
I recently bought HTC U11 and have been using it with AT&T. U11 is an international unlocked version. Although most of the websites claim international versoin had gottent Oreo update, I do not see the update when check from the phone. What is the best way to update?
Thanks,
./Siva.

Ok. How can I say my phone is US unlocked or international? I believe mine is international, since I bought it from EBay, would be good know.
In settings, about, software information, software number.
Must be x.xx.401.xx to be eu worldwide edition.
617 is the US unlocked/dev edition.
I didn't realize there were 2 different versions of the unlocked phone. I bought mine used (practically new as the guy only used it a couple weeks) a couple weeks ago and as soon as I started setting it up I got the update to Oreo. After reading your post I checked my software version and it is indeed 617, so I have the US version (which is great considering I'm in the US lol).

Android 11 Update for unlocked variants?

I saw that some variants (T-Mobile, Verizon) of the A71 5G have received the Android 11 update, so I was wondering if anyone has any clues on when the unlocked variant (specifically the SM-A716u1) will receive the update?
Source:
Update notice: www.xda-developers.com/samsung-android-11-galaxy-a51-5g-galaxy-a71-5g-galaxy-m30s/
Unlocked variant update logs: https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-A716U1/XAA/doc.html
Thanks!
I would love to know this as well. Hoping it is coming soon!
