Still no Bixby Voice as far as I can tell... I use stock messages app and didn't see anything exciting there either.

I've only noticed that the performance enhancements seem to be in the negative direction. Phone has been acting more sluggish and is having serious issues with the downloading of new apps/updates from the Play store even after several restarts. I may end up having to wipe it and see if it gets better.

My data got worse .

Performance definitely took a hit, and I can t find a single new feature. Got a couple random reboots as well.

It's just getting worse and worse. Stay away from this update.

Mine did 2 random reboots since latest update as well.

This device does not support galaxy apps?

all of a sudden I can't get into the gear apps anymore tonight and this error comes up. anyone else see this?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 using Tapatalk.
so i did factory resets, i un-rooted etc, and it's still doing it. i'm pairing it to my TAB S now to see if it'll work there...
sucks bc now i can't download apps at all.
wellp, it works on my Tab S and i can get into the store no problem, but it seems like my Note 4 is the issue, which makes ABSOLUTELY no sense because for 2 full days it's been working and i've been downloading apps, and now all of a sudden it decided that the Note 4 isn't compatible. WTF.
same here my friend Just started doing it !! With you describing the same issue I believe this is a Samsung issue and not something we have done.
whats up guys!! just solved the problem!! i was having the same issue. it has something to do with the security updates.
so to fix it go to application manager and find security policy updates under the ALL tab. and unistall updates. this will then let you back into the gear app store :good:
Same issue but no security policy updates app.
I have the same issue. Was working fine this morning and my device isn't supported now. :/ I also don't have a security policy updates app in application manager.
It fixed itself.
It works now.
I'm so mad I wiped my device and unrooted then rooted again lmfao. now I'm on tizenmod 3.0 though and the store works. nice. thanks for the heads up guys!

I have a Note 4 (US version) and am having no problems. Sounds like something changed in your setup. Did something change your build.prop file setting ro.product.model? Sometimes people change that. Running any type of app or xposed module that spoofs other apps?

NOTHING changed in my setup and some days it works, some it doesn't and I get the dreaded message. Samsung really needs to get their sh!t together or else they will soon find the answer to the question "why Apple is MUCH better in terms of user experience".
it's a Samsung server side issue. probably the same reason so many apps weren't available on the note 4 but were on every other device like s5 and note edge lol

Ditto here. I got it this morning. Don't know what it does though.
I got it when I got home from work. It was urgent and installed super quickly.

same here I tried to see what it was about but nothing came to be..
I got this but it didn't say it had installed I dismissed the message thinking I could check manually later but nothing outstanding so assuming it installed now lol

Hi,
I had the same thing yesterday: I received this "Urgent Security Update" via a notification that had the icon of the Samsung Apps application. Unfortunately, I dismissed the notification and I didn't do this update. But since that, I am not able to get this notification again in order to be able to do this update... I tried to launch Samsung Apps, I also tried in the settings of the S6 to search for either new ROM version or security policy updates, but no update though that.
So I wonder how we can get back the notification of this security update?
I got it also. It's the option for paid themes in the Samsung store!
Nah curious I had that option before this update

N915A reboot daily after recent update

My Note Edge N915A reboots daily after updated to N915AUCS2DPH7. Anyone else having the same problem?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N915A using XDA-Developers mobile app
Same problem here and it seems to be getting more frequent. I just got my phone this weekend and updated to Marshmallow right away. I did a factory reset after the update, hoping that would eliminate issues like this. I do have the Samsung flip wallet case installed and I have encrypted the phone (a requirement for my work email). Any chance you have either of these things in common?

No. My phone is neither scripted or has a wallet cover. Apparently, it is related to the latest update!

Mine too. I was disappointed because my girl has the S7 Edge and he icons were different. My icons didn't change which was the only reason I did the update.
It seems there's no particular app that triggers it. It just reboots randomly! We'll see when they start exploding. Samsung sucks.

Remove it and see if it helps, since you updated the firmware, most probably that's the cause, flash back previous firmware? Other known issue is faulty battery and fingerprint lock
I got today 09:16 a random reboot and looked as fast as possible after reboot a log. See attachment and look at 09:16
I think Smart Manager causes the problem. Maybe this is the problem related to battery issue because smart manager also logging battery statistics. I removed knox, smart manager and any other bloatware. After 9hours usage i did not get any reboots for now. Let see if it work continuesly without reboot.

New update for European devices 1.62.401.1

Version is 1.62.401.1

The may security update is also included, for those that might be wondering.
Strange. Nothing coming up in the UK.
Those of you who got the OTA - can you capture&share OTA file or make&upload TWRP backup (of Boot and System Image partitions)?
Thanks!

What difference do you find between 1.62 and 1.15? Better battery? More second screen functions?
For me, better signal and stability, phone more fast.
The app grid allow more app to show per line. Nothing else.

Wonder why no such update for the US and Asia especially Taiwan since normally it gets update first.
Anyway after updating sense home, the grid option 3x4 is gone and now I have 4x5 and 5x6. Is it what you have?
Option 3x4 disappear.
And here it was after the ota.

Yep exactly the same here CW unlocked., except my 401.4 -> 401.13 was 267mb... interesting.. ... Since we have been stuck on 1.09 since release ... UK users should be seeing what the US got in 1.15, such as...
Better 2nd'ary display functions and notifications, better battery, Sense home update., but I wish theyd do something with "Sense Companion" in UK, something like Bixby... or just anything really... Mine just sits on one screen saying "Your cards are deleted or out of date", and occasionally asks me to measure my steps, or give me trafficx warnings.. but nothing happens... .Wierd
Ive also gone for a full wipe..... factory reset/cache wipe through recovery, as both updates came to about 900mb... pretty big....
Anyway good to see some "HTC" love coming to the UK after 2 months of release
Thanks HTC
Hi all,
I also received this update a day ago now on my UK unlocked Sim free Black U Ultra and a short while after completing the update I got a message from EE as that's whose network my sim is from and I now have WiFi calling on my phone. That really is the only difference I have noticed on my device so far as up to now everything has been working perfectly and my second display has never had any of the issues some mention. I absolutely love this device and don't have a single regret about choosing this over any of the other so called better flagships or not waiting for the HTC 11 either. The fuss made about it not having the latest Snapdragon really is a non issue for me as I just don't believe the differences are really going to be that big or noticeable in real world use I must admit the fact I manged to get a two day old device at a good price helped but I would of paid full price and still been happy. Also battery life for me has been brilliant and as I charge it once it reaches around 35% it charges really fast to. This replaced my just over 3 year old M8 and for its been a great and worthwhile upgrade.

I think not. But is not wort it. I have friend with T-Mobile and he sing in. Bixby is very slow to respond. Google Assistant is 10 time faster and better. then bixby. I hope they final release will have lot of improvements.

Samsung apps are updated . Your probably right about not getting it until launch
