Hello. I have a Sprint s7e. Yesterday I updated my phone to the Nougat Beta and everything was going good. This morning I got a notification that an update was available so I accepted and it once it finished my phone keeps rebooting. It will fully load and within a minute of use, it will reboot. Even if I don't use the phone after the reboot, it will reboot in about a minute. Anyone else experiencing this? Possible fixes? I tried Safe Mode and it still rebooted. One mistake I made was I have items disabled with EZ Disabler which I forgot to re-enable. Ive done this before on Marshmallow and it never gave me any issues. Could this be the problem?
Is there a way to revert back to the older Beta Version, or even Marshmallow? Thanks
I would try a factory reset

I would either try a factory reset or clearing the Cache. The last option would be a factory reset back to Marshmellow and then re-download the beta.
This happens on my wifes s7 edge. I assume its because of the (snapdragon 820) bootloader not liking root. Factory reset didnt solve issue for me because it threw up dm verity argument errors. Only thing that worked was flash combination firmware to completely wipe.
I had a similar issue. I would wipe data and clear cache. Start fresh. Android 7.0 vs 6.01 might have had compatibility issues or data corrupt caused bootloop. This is just my opinion. It sucks redoing everything, trust me. I had the Note 7 then got the s7 edge on Thursday, set it up on the stock 6.0.1. Then Friday found the Nougat beta and did my 1st download. It keeper rebooting constantly after It had finished set up.of course. So, I had to reset it up. I was able to go a day then reboot stuff happened again. So I data wiped and did it all over but this time I did not restore apps. I did fresh install and happy to report no issues thus far.
Sorry for long drawn out personal response, was just trying to share my experience in the event that it is useful to you.

Has anyone had a problem with "Android Wear has stopped"? It started with the last update to PL3. I've tried clearing app cache and data as well as clearing cache from recovery. Hopefully the next update will fix it, but I've been wondering if anyone with a android watch has had a problem.
So i have recently updated my phone to the latest 7.0 software on my galaxy s7. ever since the update, my fingerprint scanner doesn't work. When i go into the system settings to try and setup new fingerprints it gives me the error "An error has occurred with the fingerprint sensor. If this message appears repeatedly, restart your device." I tried restarting the device, clearing the app's cache and data, as well as clearing the system cache in the boot menu. When i go into the FingerPrint test under the HwModuleTest(*#0*#) and perform a normal scan, everything comes back as failed. Is my only option to backup my phone and do a complete reinstall?

Try completely reinstalling QA6. I highly doubt the update caused the fingerprint scanner to start working though since it works perfectly fine on my phone.

Flash PK1 with Odin and take the ota again. When the ota is done, factory reset the phone to make sure any software issues are gone.
Should I be using smart switch to backup my contacts/messages/etc to my computer?
I recently updated my phone and am having the same problem. Have you found a solution for you that worked (I also tried wiping my cache partition and a soft reset)

I also just updated my SM-G935FD via OTA to Android version 7.0.
Since then, fingerprint scanner is not working. Like for OP, all tests fail under HwModuleTest.
I tried to remove all fingerprints, but it is impossible to add new fingerprints - the error message is "Make sure that the Home key is clean and dry, then try again." Obviously, the fingerprint sensor is as dry and clean as it was before the update (when it worked perfectly).
Since then I tried, unsuccessfully:
- removing old fingerprints and adding new fingerprints (does not work, cf. above)
- formatting cache partition
- performing a hardware reset
Please advice, thanks.
P.S. I do not have access to Odin, since I do not have a Microsoft OS.
I had constant issues with the ATT firmware's fingerprint reader performance (6.x) -- wouldn't recognize my fingerprint when I tried to unlock and would often get the forced timeout.
It works flawlessly for me on the u firmware (still 6.x unfortunately). Night and day.
Same issue with me here in the UK. Just did the Nougat OTA update, having no end of issues, including the "dry home button" stuff with the fingerprint scanner. Also, the stock browser seems to have lost it's secret / incognito mode.... why can't they just leave stuff alone? Seems like my only option at this point is to downgrade back to marshmallow and put up with the annoying update notification.
Same here what do we have to do ?

Has anyone had, conversely, an *overactive* fingerprint sensor?
While the phone is unlocked, at times when my finger is only resting on the scanner, I'm taken to the accessibility settings with an alert asking "Grant Permission: Please, grant permission to allow this feature".
After updating the LG-H873 to Oreo, I am now experiencing the settings screen opening randomly. I don't even have to be touching the phone and the settings screen opens up. Has anyone else had this issue and if so, is there a fix? Thanks in advance.
It was a clean update? Also, have you tried clean all the app caches and system cache?
This was a clean install. After Oreo was installed, I reset the phone to factory default and then reinstalled my apps. I also cleared the cache.
I didn't even get an Oreo update. Nani?
Hello. After update oreo, my s7 edge sometimes, when a try to attach photo or video with emoji and words, crashes and show..WhatsApp stopped restart... What can do and is solvable? this problem is even in my s8 oreo..... i cleared cache and did a factory reset but same problem in 2 phones!!! Thanks
nobody knows anything???
There's a whole complicated series of events, but here's the current issue:
I just did a factory reset, and now when I go to 'Add Accounts' in settings, neither Google nor Samsung work. Google doesn't even ask for login credentials, just skips straight to 'checking info' and then fails. For Samsung, it takes my credentials and stops on a blank screen titled 'legal information,' and a non-functional 'next' arrow on the bottom. I've tried wiping the cache and a full reset, but no luck.
Now, the longer story: I just got the phone, and was trying to install TWRP etc. I got it to work once, but then realized I hadn't done the OEM unlock. Somehow ended up in a bootloop and ended up re-installing stock firmware. Tried again with OEM unlocked and got TWRP installed, but then after flashing no-verity-opt-encrypt 6.0, it went into a bootloop again. Reinstalled stock firmware again, but now I can't get the OEM unlock to show up, the date won't stick where I manually set it, and the Samsung/Google accounts won't work. Tried to install TWRP again anyway, but the install failed. Factory reset AGAIN to see if it would fix the accounts issue, but nothing changed.
I've tried googling the issues but couldn't find anything exactly like this, so I have come to kneel and beg the android gods for help. ANY assistance or suggestions on what to try would me most appreciated.
Here's the specs:
Galaxy S8 SM-G950F
Android 8.0
Used Odin3-v3.13.1 (didn't read about Prince Comsy ver. until after all this...)
Used twrp-3.2.3-2-dreamlte.img.tar
Used stock G950FXXS4CRLB_G950FOXM4CRL1_BTU
No SIM
If anymore info is needed, please let me know. Thank you.
