I've registered etc and I'm in the UK with the Edge.
I've not received the OTA update though.
Maybe I just wasn't selected, or maybe it'll just take a while.

Next year probably.

I bought my phone trough the Orange store. South Africa. I'm assuming I have a EU version as I haven't received anything yet. So I guess everyone at Motorola is on holiday. We'll just have to wait.
Best not to be the first adopter, frankly. I'm happy to wait a bit.

Been checking everywhere for any news on MM but it just seems to be a huge information void regarding UK updates. Starting to feel like MXP is a bit of an afterthought in Motorola's product lineup.

Or back of the que? I have a French version (in UK) which is dual sim model and based on the Asia version. I was able to download the OTA update (India) and update my Play X to MM.
All good really. Adaptive Storage seems to work for me and a bonus having the 16gb model. Only small issue is I use Opera browser and it lags a little until the page actually fully loads and then a little more it loses the lag.
I'm sure MM will come soon but guess moto/Lenovo have been on holiday possibly!
Looking forward to it with bated breath Richy, not confident enough to flash it although I probably could lol, just can't afford to replace my phone if I brick it. Gonna have to practice on old HTC wildfire s lol
I signed up for the resting program on the moto site here in the UK. Not received any soak test stuff.
Lots of variables I guess, might not have been in time or selected.
I'd imagine as other countries are getting the ota they may not have needed a UK soak test?
Looking forward to receiving the update.
Can then get more games on the xplay!
I am on Soak Test (Germany)

Is anyone else returning this phone?

In light of the high possiblity that the S7 Edge will not get root I have been considering returning the phone and wating for the LG G5. So my question Is am I the only one considering returning it over the possiblity of no root?
Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk
No, keeping mine.
I will be keeping mine. I have Exynos but not being able to root would not lead to me retuning the phone as it's not such a big deal to me.
However I understand your reasoning and believe a lot of people will also be returning due to this.
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
I'm enjoying it, I don't really need to root since Package Disabler is all I need anyways. Besides if I wanted root, I'd just wait for the next Nexus device.
It's disturbing that we might not get to root... but all is not lost. We don't know what Sprint will do yet.
I've returned mine because it was faulty, and thanks to Samsungs ****ty return policy I had to buy another s7e from a local store, waiting on my refund for the faulty one
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
It would be nice but it's not a deal breaker for me. Although, I haven't ever had a device I didn't end up hacking in some way so it would be a first.
Hahaha every single galaxy has been rooted, of course not on AT&T or Verizon but every other carrier is always rooted. This one will be no exception

Previous Samsung bootloaders were not locked that's why. The S6 was rooted by an exploit which was later patched.

That will most likely be the case. The only way it can be rooted is if someone can find an exploit once the source is released.

Ye the exynos can be rooted as the bootloader is not locked. It's only the snapdragon that cannot be rooted and the source is yet to be released.

There's already a root available for Exynos. I'm holding out as some people are currently working on a root that will not trip Knox so I'm hoping that will be successful and be released very soon.
Sent from my SM-T700 using Tapatalk
The s7 for AT&T and Verizon won't be rooted most likely thanks to the locked bootloader. Sprint and T-Mobile will have root.

A lot of people are making that same assumption but all of them are locked so I don't think so myself.
Sent from my SM-T700 using Tapatalk
Yea bootloader is locked, even if root is accomplished it will be very limited as far as custom roms and those sort of things, as well as being careful with automatic updates and stuff. I have till Saturday to make my return and barring some new development i more than likely will return mines. A stock device is too basic for me.

My feelings exactly. I love many things about this device but no root means no fun... yes there are a few work arounds but not enough. I hate stupid volume warning message an how I cannot take local backups with twrp an titanium backup. Also. xposed installer.
Back to Note 4 for me. I've been carrying them both around for the past week an surprisingly switching back to the Note 4 isn't that much of a difference justifying worth losing my access to root.
Are people really that negative that the S7 Edge snapdragon varient won't get root?

Is anyone else getting a notification for a new update?

I just got an notification for a new update. I already got the update from T-Mobile a few days ago. I'm assuming this is a new one.
I did a factory reset two days ago but I believe the system updates stay on there even after a factory reset.
I'm just wondering if this is something new? The update is from Samsung and it says "Critical System update"
Nope. Nothing here.
Nope nothing here either

Go to - about device - update manually. That's how ours popped up. All 3 phones found it
Battery life is absolute amazing in this update. It's been installed for 10 minutes and I'm already going on 6hrs sot. ?

Can you post the "about" screen with the kernel date and baseband/build number?

Its not an incremental update, is something about the edge screen

I thinks its that.
Yeah I already have this update I believe.
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
Maybe when I cleared the cache and did a system restore, it removed the update. Either way I'm afraid to install it since I'm finally getting good battery life.
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
Yeah got my s7 3 days ago it download asap. It's great. Made system A LOT more stable. Phone was lagggy out the box

Not sure if anyone else has received and reviewed android 8 on s8 yet but I have just downloaded the update and will review once I have used it for a few days.
Here's the blurb that came with it
