Nougat update is out. Find any differences?

I saw myself 3 mobiles getting an update today.
I've updated my phone today as soon as I received the notification.
Details about update -Android version 7.0, Build: NPJ25.93-11.
List of BIG changes that I observed:
1. Boot animation - It is completely revamped and now says "Hello Moto" with an iconic voice every time you boot up the phone. Just found out that it can be turned off in Settings>Sounds.
2. Internal memory pumped up - This is a big surprise for me. My available free memory was 7.3 GB before the update and now it is 8.22 GB. It is a very good thing.
3. Battery backup seems to be improved. This is my one day observation and still needs more observation of course.
4. A special Moto action is added called Swipe to shrink screen. (meh!)
5. Fingerprint sensor can now lock the device. Power button is safe forever. Unregistered fingers can also put phone to sleep.
6. Toggle WiFi, BT, Data etc. in one tap if you pull down notification bar once else if you pull down twice you get to choose from a list of devices.
7. Device temperature is now nominal while charging.
8. I don't see network related settings like 2G, 3G, 4G selection per SIM. It is all grayed out. I think it will choose the n/w on its own.
All other N features (split screen, notification in-line-reply, better recent apps preview, etc) are known. So there is nothing special to say about that.
Cons inherited from Marshmallow:
*** Hidden LED is still kept hidden. What a waste!
*** Although device is locked you can still swipe down notification bar and toggle all the important and sensitive controls like WiFi, Location, Bluetooth, Data, Airplane mode. This is really an insecure feature.
I'll keep updating this as I go on finding something new.
Other changes are mentioned in changelog on Moto website.
P.s: Go for the update.

How many treads about this?

BTW: No root for it (as of now).

I have flashed my moto g4 plus with official soak test nougat. But I didn't receive any notification for official nougat. Will I get a notification or will I have to flash it manually using official nougat update?

You should get the update according to sources. Maybe you will have to wait for a while.
Well if you don't get it you can always downgrade to 6.0 to start over.

Okay. I have the build no NPJ25.93-11. But I am experiencing battery drainage. Battery is getting drained very quickly.

Tap the gear like icon under Settings/Security/Screen Lock. You must find it there.

Someone can tell me please how put in silence the bootanimation

Has anyone else got the January update? Nobody's been talking about any changes...

I got this a couple of days ago but have seen no mention of it on this forum. It only seems like a security patch though.
EDIT: This was received in the UK

This too has been suspended.. Hope they'll b able to release a bug free os when they finally do..

There is a thread about this update. Why do you people need to open 100 same threads over and over?

I have been saying that same thing for a long time.

If you are going to be snarky about an existing thread, you could at least post a link to it! This one came up on the search when I started to post a new topic suggesting it was similar to my question.
Here's the question I was going to post, but will post it here instead so there is "not open 100 same threads over and over". (since there was no link to the original post that was about this update and it didn't show up on the suggestions)
I received the first Oreo update on 03-Jan-18: Oreo 8.0.0, Security Patch level December 1, 2017
My understanding is that Xiaomi has started rolling out the second Oreo update that fixes a number of problems in the first release, but I have yet to get it. We own two A1's, and my wife's A1 has yet to get either Oreo update and mine has not received a January security patch or the latest Oreo update.
I'm just wondering if any of you who got the original Oreo update has received the latest one?

Just received it, in India

Fingerprint is faster than before.

Thanks Androidman720. Does it show as a January security level? Maybe it will make its way to Thailand before the end of the month. I'm hoping so.

EDIT: Right after I posted this, it arrived on my phone! Now I just have to decide if I really want to apply it. With all the issues reported, I am not sure. The first update seems to work well for me: no camera lag to speak of (1 sec), notifications work properly as far as I can tell, etc. The only downside is a 'quieter' audio output, so not sure about rolling the dice and applying the upgrade. Will wait a few days to see what others experience.
EDIT 2:
I went ahead and did the update. Sound seems to have changed again. I went into my music app and changed the EQ to Flat and the sound was much better. I did not hear any hissing, even with classical music, but old ears may be the issue there. I don't use BT unless needed, so cannot address that issue. So far, notifications and icons all seem to work as they should. Camera app is unchanged at ~1 second from press of camera icon to ready. Fingerprint reader seems to have gotten faster, though it was no slouch (compared to my iPad) before. So far, battery usage is what I consider normal, but I don't use the phone for a lot of high drain things like watching videos or playing games. My battery easily lasts 2 to 3 days and is what I consider normal. If this changes with the new update, I will update this post.

Tizen battery drain

Hi
I had a Gear S3 last year and got rid of it due to the excessive battery drain introduced with Tizen.
I've read that an update has now fixed this issue.
Can anyone confirm it has actually fixed it?
Thanks

it depends, i never had any issues with battery drain before the update, now i do

Same here. I didn't have problems after the first update and I didn't have problems after the "fix" they sent out.

Me neither, thank goodness...no issues before 3.0 or after but obviously there should be another update as so many folks are indicating they have major battery drain after Tizen update, I am really disappointed in Samsung for not announcing that they are aware of the issues And are working on it?? Curious why some don't have any issues and others do?

I just posted today how I fixed the battery drain issue in this same section for anyone interested: https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/help/3-0-issues-t3746851

I just returned it, awaiting my refund from Samsung. Better to send it in for warranty and get the money back then to deal with this issue.

Al00 9.0.0.198

A new update, system stabilty

Nothing for me :/

No battery issues for me.

still no updates for me...

Used HiCare for latest update. Phone was getting very glitchy before, but new update has sorted things out. It's maddening having such a great phone but it being so limited due to non rooting.

today i get the update Al00 9.0.0.198

Not a single problem with 198 here.

I just update to 198 and from what i can see, this Update makes the battery drain faster... at least for me... before the Update, i watch Youtube for about 1 hour and only 8% percentage drain... after the update, i watch Youtube 1 hours and i get like 12-15% percentage drain... (
I will not update my other unit to 198 for the moment, i'll stick with 195...

General Don't update to the latest November patch!

I got my s22 ultra a couple of weeks ago and I installed one UI 5 using Odin. The battery was really bad it would last me max 3h with a full charge. And after the last update the November patch the device is almost unusable. After updating to the November patch the device heats up really badly before it wouldn't heat up even if I was playing any game and playing music at the same time keep in mind I have the Exynos version. The notifications are bugged when receiving a notification and swiping it to dismiss it while the notification sound is playing it will make your volume really low and you can't turn up the volume it fixes itself only if you receive another notification and let it play the sound fully.
Update: Now when using the camera the phone heats up almost instantly and just lags really really bad
Until now the s22 has been garbage.

All is good for me. Try to reset your phone.

Same here, updated it and have not had any issue...

you say you updated through odin did you update with a different model firmware because most exynos models got the update through the phones software update so nif it was different model firmware that might be the problem.

For me, November patch improved battery life over October one

Snapdragon here; November patch lasts longer than the initial firmware.
I dont notice any changes, but overall the battery life has improved.

Actually, battery life is noticeably better. Kinda reminds me of beta 3

all fine here
only oddity is that my phone is still on July Google Play System - even tho most phones are on Oct or even Nov one
every time i check it says is up to date?!

its better if u debloat it, and try to factory reset ur phone

You should maybe Google about what's exactly contained within the Play System update.
There's no such a thing as cosmetic change and if that's so - Your November patch solves the hardcore part and this just adds the cherry on top now, wouldn't it?

But it doesn't add anything. There's a reason why when you update it usual, system way, the update weighs 20mb or so plus the mandatory reboot

About phone /software information /Google play system update. Tap on it

Must be an issue with the Exynos model. The Snapdragon had poor/inconsistent battery life for a few charging cycles after the October and November Android 13 updates. After 6 days, it has settled down to about where it was on Android 12. The updates reset a lot of the battery optimization software.

More likely, it is because he's rooted and probably has some crapware installed. From what I've read, the official update from Samsung is a big improvement for both Exynos and Snapdragon models.

after update dual sim is not working i try all but stil not working
and i go back to android 12 and now all work
