New Update - May 4th - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Just received a notification for an update. I have not installed it yet. The change log says an FM radio option has been added as well as a security update. Does anyone have any feedback on this update before I go ahead and install?

Installing now...will report back. TMO.

Just installed it. But I can not see an FM app being installed so I don't know how to take advantage of that feature which is now supposedly available to me. (T-mobile) Only FM apps that I can see on play store are for motorola phones.

Yes, the NextRadio app works and FM chip works.
I work in suburb, so not many stations could be picked up, but I could listen to couple of stations. (With T-mobile's music freedom, the use will be quite limited, BUT if I go to a place where T-mobile signal is weak and there are FM stations, why not...)

I updated also, seems there is no visible difference. Haven't really tried the fm. On another note i was hoping my music stored on device in playlist from itunes (used iSync) would fix the issue i have where sometimes songs skip to a random song in the playlist even when random is not selected. Other times i'll play a song and 3 secs. in it skips to another track. Quite annoying...

Verizon of course has not even received the April update yet, as usual last.

My friend's Sprint device updated today and got April update.
So, from big 4, T-mobile appear to be the one who appear to be on the ball with keeping up with the update.
That said, I did read that AT&T version of S7 does have FM chip enabled anyways.

Uk vodafone here, i had the a update early this morning but haven't noticed any difference

Is auto brightness problem fixed?

I know, I have been waiting for the latest update because my phone has frozen a couple times lately and battery life seems to be worse. I did try clearing cache and disabling apps, but this doesn't help too much. So I was going to factory reset but wanted to wait for the update and then do it. At this point it may not be worth waiting.

Hey,
Any news about FM Radio? Does it work?

It's an rdf file. It's a file that describes the roms that have been built for testing purposes. It's not something we can use, but it does tell us that there is currently a new rom for our phone under development.

When I updated to 5.0.1, the bluetooth streaming audio started to hickup every couple minutes when streaming from any audio app. I've wiped and done a clean reinstall but it still glitches. It didn't happen under any older rom so I'm assuming it's a bug in OB7.

@poit It was good to have ya in the s3 forums. Glad to see you on the Note 4 realm.
Its probably just an update to enable the samsung factory reset protection feature. There was an update that came out last week for the S5 that did the same thing.

Cant really tell from looking at the RDF. I'm guessing it just cut and paste, often it lists old information and old versions. It does mean they are working on a new rom.

Install a 3rd Party FM Radio app. A blog recommended NextRadio, and it seems to work well.
I just bought an AT&T S7 that was on the February security patch. I put in my T-Mobile SIM, and checked for updates, and just pulled one. It's 130ish megabytes, I'm assuming it's the May update.

There was an April Security Patch Update as well. Since no one else can confirm a May Patch, it is most likely you gotten the April Patch within the recent download.
However please don't assume anything, because your post could mislead others to think there is a May Patch that they are not getting and will waste time looking for one because your post "assumed" that there is one out in the wild. Don't take it personal, there are a lot of other posts that don't provide any usable information either.

PJ4 update
New update. I downloaded last night. It adds something called Fullscreen? Any one else got any news on what changed? Says security patch level is October 1, 2016. Was about 250MB
Trying to figure that out to. Cant find any Changlog for this
Turned on the advanced messaging again for me. I turned it off since it wasn't working properly. Maybe it's fixed now.

Can we still root if we are on PJ4?

I wish AT&T would give us the performance updates that Samsung released a couple months ago. We just keep getting security updates and more crap software.

You know what? I'm not sure now. I could've sworn I read an article saying there was, now the only reference I find is for T-Mobile S7's getting a performance update.
I was on rooted stock PI2 and accidentally said OK to the OTA and it sent my phone into bootloop. Had to start from scratch.
Is the current root stable enough to use as a daily driver?

Build Number and Hardware? Updates?

My phone came with the following:
Build: NMI42B test-keys
Hardware: 1.8
So far my phone thinks it's rooted and I have not received the camera update.
Any other Build numbers/hardware the same?
Has anyone received the camera update with HDR or am I not receiving updates because of the test-keys build?
NMI54B was the update I got immediately.

Add me to the list of test keys. My hardware is 1.8 and my build is NMI75B test-keys. What the hell does that mean? I just received this device today from a guy on Swappa. Did he modify it somehow? Will I still be able to get OTA updates?

Essential Service update available

Just for info
New update to Essential Services on playstore now, 2nd October.
Anybody know what the Services are for?
Edit: Says Bug and performance fixes. Maybe firmware related?
I just got my essential phone off of swappa and it's running build "NMI75B test-keys". For some reason I am unable to update any system apps via the play store while on this build. Camera, Essential Resources, and Essential Services are all showing updates available, but every time I've tried to download them I get error code 505. I think there is something with this test build firmware that is preventing me from updating system apps via the play store. Every other app (150+) that I have installed has worked flawlessly.

Build NMI75B is not an official build from Essential. The device in reference from the XDA link is using incremental beta SW in test - 64C is the official release build at this time but we will be releasing another public SW update within the next few weeks. Stay tuned.

Yeah I saw that thread. It doesn't explain why some phone inexplicably updated to this test keys build tho. I'm waiting to hear back from support on the matter. I just want to make sure I'm able to receive all future updates.
