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?
This update is the same like the one already published on Dec 11 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/captured-ota-nougat-ota-moto-g4-plus-t3517059
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.

Nougat Update Released

Nougat update 7.0 released OTA for Verizon S6 flat variant. Is there any word on root methods?

Anyone got it installed? I'm not updating because foxfi doesn't work on Nougat.

Anyone know how to prevent the install? I downloaded the file but didn't install.

Anyone know when offline upgrade avaible?

I use package disabler Pro and shut down that apks that downloads the updates turn the ones that would install it off. Non rooted. This app also can Uninstall system apps as well.

Which apks specifically?

I am running the new stock 7.0 on my S6. Battery life is improved.

Battery life and efficiency
So far, everything is running stable for me. A lot more efficient and uses less battery.

They're called System Updates (there's two):

Can you check if Service Mode is enabled. Go to the dialer and input these:
*#0011#
or
*#27663368378#
Wonder if Band 5 is enabled on their latest baseband.

I haven't seen the update come my way yet. I was interested to see if my battery life has improved at all because it's pretty awful right now. I am becoming impatient here.

It was OTA (Over The Air), so going to settings, scrolling to the bottom, and checking for updates through System updates option should get you the update. If it's still not showing up after you try and power cycle your phone, then Verizon just simply hasn't released it to your region yet and it will come very soon.

Battery life is improved, but not significantly. The phones are at the age where the batteries are noticeably less in capacity than originally. The power-save mode is better I believe however, which definitely helps.

Anyone find a way to disable SDM.apk? I don't see it on Package Disabler Pro, only sdmviewer which doesn't stop the pop up. FoxFi is 100x more important to me than Nougat.

Have you tried doing a update check from your settings? I have not received the notice for update yet either but if I go to the update tab in settings, it is there. So you might be able to update but just did not get notice.

It's not labeled SDM.APK. just type in the search SDM and it will come up with the 2 Samsung update apks.

Watch out fellas. This update DESTROYS the audio output quality. No bass, thin, lifeless audio quality. I am downgrading and it looks like my s6 will be stuck with Marshmallow forever.

Something went wrong with your update. I currently have no issues with audio quality whatsoever. Check equalization settings or see if sound alive is on.

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..

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?
Regards,

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.

November security patch discussion

It's a rather big download this month (200mb+), does anyone know what's changed? I've not spotted anything so far.

Xiaomi announce patch notes for security updates?.

rumors say that xiaomi rolls out big security patches shortly before rolling out new android version. so maybe Pie is coming

Maybe they needed more space for including new bugs like the one with Dutch language.

Don't know how reliable this is but the chart says 2019 1st quarter for Pie update.

I think battery life took a hit

I noticed that to, i pulled a lower SoT by an hour from my ussual average SoT... Strange...

The problem with the phone waking up inside the pocket has been fixed.

New *** New ***
Memory is now specified in GB-inches :laugh:

The November update fixed a huge problem for Italian users.
After 9.6.4.0 update (June?) most of them lost the second SIM slot; I mean, the SIM was inserted and active, but MIA2Lite didn't registered it. So, unusable at end.
This update fixed this issue, finally

i think this release feels a touch snappier.

Any big change? I'm still in September waiting for a big update in order to flash from zero.
Thanks

Why do all of you are waiting for pie? What are the benefits you suppose?
I'm only interested in tech benefits, all what has to do with "looking better" or "kiddy playings" isn't worth updating in my eyes.

All the new function and gesture are tech benefits to me, what are you expecting as your "tech benefits"?

for example stock-Camera with nightsight like gcam, integrated adblocker, firewall and so on. Its basically a linuxsystem, so why we could only use underlying resources like iptables only with thirdparty software and rooting? Maybe i'm too old, but new gestures, brighter colors are for me "kiddies playing ground".

Ok im not sure if this was here before or its a bug but i dont think so or havent noticed it pre update... When the phone is locked and u just press the power button to light it up to see the clock, and dont touch it further, the screen stays awake in lockscreen for the full 1min that is set in the display awake settings... Shouldnt it be wake like just a couple of second in lockscreen when u just dont unlock or touch it? Im think that was the case before cant remember rly... I know every phone i had before does that...

i have bug in Data plan settings, no matter how many limit set for data plan (have 11 GB per month), warning show already spent all and plan exceeded 18.5 MB. tried for example to reset counter but same bug remain...
