New Software Update - 9/21/2016 - Moto Z Force Questions & Answers

Anybody else got prompted with this update yet? Can't find any release notes at this time.
http://imgur.com/UeM9RrF

I checked for it earlier when I heard about it and installed it. September security update but not sure anything else with it.

I got the notice but have not installed it yet.

I installed it earlier after seeing many on another site that did so. it's a little bit over 100 megabytes so it's probably not much more that the actual security update.

September Security Update haven't seen anything else yet.

This is a really good sign that Lenovo is dedicated to keeping us up to date. I smell Nougat soon!

Can anyone with unlimited test to see if this free hotspot glitch is still up? Don't want to install if they patch it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68368388&postcount=8

Wow, I stumbled on this thread, installed Network Signal Refresher Lite app and it works for me and I just updated to the Sept Security Patch a few days ago. I really missed the Moble Hot spot I had on my Razr M.
FYI, I have the Moto Z

Yep, curious myself too....
Well I'll tell you this. It asked if I wanted to participate in VoIP testing and I didn't want to and my survey ended.

did the same.
There is no way they are updating the Droids to Lollipop before last year's Moto X or the Turbo.
If I were a betting man, I'd bet it is some sort of minor bug fix update for VoLTE or something. Maybe an update to add full Moto Voice stuff?
Maybe they can make the phone not sound like crap/cut out on 50% or more of calls?

Must be your area/reception? I've personally never dropped a call in the year I've had this phone.

This suggests the update could be 5.0.1. It also might be a pre-release in order to get the device ready. Guess we will find out soon enough.
This one wasn't LP ... Honestly not sure what changed but my update is running smoothly

Mine is downloading the update right now. It says its only 53 MB so it can't be too much.
Got mine updated. Now to see what changed.
I'm not part of the soak but my maxx shows the update as available. Any word on if there are any problems for people who unlocked with sunshine?

Yes, looks like an update to fix bugs in the last update (though I personally was not having any problems). I don't really notice any difference so far.

G935AUCU4APJ4 with Oct. 1 2016 security update

Better late than never. It's 252.87 MB. No documentation of it yet on AT&T's software-update page, but that should be coming soon.

Thanks! I was wondering when this was going to be released, especially when I saw that Google just released the November update for Nexus devices. Like you said, better late than never...
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.

On this update they added a Fullscreen app which is pretty much pointless. Heres some photos of it:

Can we still root if we are on PJ4?
***YES WE CAN!!***
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?

Sprint S7 Edge Android 7 download available

So, here in KC, I was curious to see if an update was available for my Sprint S7 Edge to 7.0 and its installing now. No notification or announcement (or I am oblivious to the obvious) from Sprint and my phone is set only to check manually, once I selected to check it came up with a 1628MB download. Mods, please delete if this is in the wrong spot or redundant, but a quick search did not show anything but the beta. I tried to join the beta but was too slow so unless this is a fluke, or I suddenly got included in the beta this looks to be available. I'll delete or update once it is done. UPDATE, G935PVPU4ZPLN Android Version 7.0. Yea..
LGSONE
That's the official 7.0 update came out for the g930p and g935p about 24hrs ago I think

does the hotspot restart thing still work?
When should we see this update?
I finally broke down and traded in my note7 for the s7 edge...first off not a bad phone at all. Pleasantly supprised actually! When do you think 7.0 or 7.1 will start rolling to us? I have the g935p. Should I just keep searching for it? Anyone else around the Minnesota area get the update yet? Thanks in Advance!

Websites are reporting 7.0 is rolling out to the s7 and s7 edge now starting with beta users and to be on the lookout. I will start manually searching for the update a couple times a day.

I definitely think that is the update that's gonna prevent samFail root method and being able to roll back to previous fw. Thank God I'm already rooted and can't take that update. Hopefully someone will figure out a way to pull the Calling Plus feature from this update so we can take advantage of the VoLTE.

To be honest since I switched from HTC to the Note series I haven't missed rooting and flashing much. I use package disable pro to disable apps and now use Disconnect Pro to block ads.
I'm happy to have simultaneous call and data back. Just used it and it worked as advertised! One thing I noticed is the calls did not connect as HD voice calls.

I agree with you, my reception has greatly improved since this update.
Dang I just rooted my phone 2 days ago and I love having root! Can't live without viper audio lol so hopefully we will get root on this firmware soon
Holy rooster poop, this call plus is awesome. I longed for the day when i could take a phone call and use my hotspot at the same time..Heck yes i did!
That time I envy not being on the Sprint version just happened.. waiting on the unlocked update lol anyone have the unlocked version and flashed the Sprint version yet? Data while on call is game changer
Now we just need the built in samsung caller id lol
Almost worth losing root to get this update. VoLTE is something I really want lol

Shortcut Master finds the app for it and allows you to turn it on, but not sure if it works past that.

Well i have found a weird issue, and i don't believe it was there before the update. Microsoft Word will not open(crashes instantly) same for Excel, and MS apps. Then i notice my icons frame option is greyed out and i haven't a clue.
I have the unlocked note 8 with the Sprint firmware flashed to it and I got the update yesterday. I did not notice any bloatware being added after flashing. But I did get wifi calling and now have calling plus after the update.
Root and calling plus working for me have to move a few files around but it works

Android Messenges For Web? Have yet to get the update...

Hey all, long time since i've posted.
Wondering if anyone has or has not received the update? Is there a way to force it? I still haven't gotten mine and I really want to start using it.
Thanks in advance!

There is a way to force it if you have root but according to the article your mileage may vary, You can find the instructions for what you need to do here https://www.xda-developers.com/try-android-messges-for-web-now/
is this carrier specific? I'm on straight talk and i got the update, but no option to enable it.
also i'm on stock everything oreo
Install it from apkmirror

Traveling without a computer.
I even removed and then redid the update, nothing! Not a happy camper!
Guys this is a staged rollout even once you have the update until google turns on the feature server side for you you don't get it. So chill and relax it will eventually work.
its here, i have it right now, w/o the hack
I got the notification today. Running beta 2 on Android p
