Took a couple reboots and the standard cache wipe to get everything running smoothly. Other than that, I'm liking it so far

What were you on previously (mainly wondering if my engineering 7.0 will be able to update) and where are you located?
Edit just saw Westbrook in your description, is that still accurate?

Westbrook is indeed still correct

Great. I can't wait this update.

Has anyone else noticed that if they had kids mode on MM it no longer works on N and you can't find it in either app stores?

me too ... i actually emailed Samsung kidmode team .. (found via their site .. http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/apps/kids-mode/
they replied, not really understanding i had a s7 ACTIVE, or that Nougat was on my phone ..
althou this was a few weeks back, as ive been on the leaked Nougat.... but thought i would email them anyhows !!
but they never replied back after stating that i had the Active, was on nougat, and that i had followed links from their site, and the google play store had sttated not compitable on my version too ..
hope they do get it sorted thou.,.. very much liked it !
even tried to get it via a backup from MM, but didnt work .

The exact response I received too. I've even use Samsung's main contact us page, still no response.
Even my wife's s7 edge can't see kids mode since the nougat update.

good they getting feedback ! .. but looks as thou they just havent sorted out support for Nougat !
hope they do eventually as this Samsung Kids Mode is rather good

You can get a version that does load but it looks like the server side hasn't been updated. This happened with 4.4.4

Correction, the s7 edge does see the app but only in the galaxy apps store. Version is 6.0.28
Now how to get a copy of it of the phone.... hmmm
Spent time with Samsung live chat and they connected to my phone. "I check information and your device is not compatible, a update to the app will allow you to download from the Play Store"
Contacted the Kids Mode support team again, probably one of the slowest response rates out there but still nothing.

Just got official update to 5.1.1 for N900T (DOK2)

So, I got a small update just now for my N900T. The changelog says OS 5.1.1.
I'm installing now. Will update when it's finished.
Edit: Added screenshot.
Build number is N910TUVU2DOK2
I have a update downloading as well, lets see how this goes. You meant to type N910T I presume?

Yes, I know the N910T3 has had 5.1.1 for a while, but no, this is for the N910T.
Unfortunately I am not rooted, so I can't provide any firmware dump or anything else that would be of help to devs.

When the install finished downloading, it asked me to confirm the install. That's when it showed the changelog. I should have taken a screenshot of it. Probably had good info. Oh well, too late for that now.

Haven't played with it enough yet. Time for bed. Have to go to work in a few hours. But the install went smoothly, and the first boot was fine.
Let's hope it stays that way.

Thanks. Security update. Yaaaaaaay!
As for rooting, I'm sure the usual suspects from XDA will be on it in no time. They'll probably have root before I get home from work.

I hope this leads to a fix for the finger print bug in ROMs. This is my first device that has a finger print scanner and I don't like giving out passwords lol.
Just got the update as well on a non-rooted N910T.
Really hoping for some improvements in speed.
Finally. I've noticed better reception so far. I'm at the Dr's office which I never get signal in the waiting room but I got 2 bars. Hopefully it fixed reception that 5.0.1 messed up for me

Bars don't mean anything. What's the change in dBm under settings/about phone/status/signal strength?

And so many wonder why the general public bemoans updates. Not that I used it much but it was nice to have if it is in fact gone. I hope they didn't change much else.
The real update I see is that the Stagefright exploit is fully patched.
Most of you on this thread might not care but if you install this update, there's no going back to KK or Lollipop.

Samsung Internet Browser now available on Play Store

just an FYI to my fellow VZW people, the samsung browser is available in the play store. on reddit, some vzw people said it still wasn't, while a few of us said it was, and we got it fine. i have it running with an ad blocker and all. try it out and see if it works for you. it's SO much faster than chrome, especially with Crystal (the ad blocker) so i deleted chrome. idc about synced bookmarks anymore honestly bc of how crappy chrome is on mobile.

I had already installed it from another thread on XDA then this morning when I clicked on a Playstore link for it, the Update button was live and updated it to a new version.
Yeah not working for me on a brand new phone with new software updates.

I was disappointed as well. I loaded Firefox and have been using it. Frankly, I like Firefox on my PC, but mobile, not so much. Thank you for the heads up.
I put a help ticket in at samsung asking for an apk. I'll update y'all with what they say
The 50 one in this thread is what I was using until my update from the Playstore. The Playstore updated it to the 51 version. Worked just fine for me.

i also never took any updates....i'm on day 1 stock with OTA frozen on my phone (because i don't like taking updates until i can verify with poeple that there's no issues, unlike the note 4 5.0.1 fiasco.....) so maybe htat has something to do wtih it? idk.

Here's the update: the browser came out after the s7 was released and was originally setup for the older devices. We may receive the browser in a future feature update.

Per samsung customer service
no it didn't. that browser was around when marshmallow came out to the note 5/s6 etc...which was before the s7. samsung customer service is useless lol

I ended up going to the google play store on my mac and selecting install and it pushed it to my s7.Did not give the option from the play store on my s7.

I downloaded the version from Dropbox as the one from mega won't install either. That works though the play store version still says not compatible.
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
Been using the 51 version since available, was also saying device not compatible, but today it links up perfectly to play store
I was using version 50 without a problem and the Playstore said it was incompatible until last Thursday when Playstore notified me of an update to Version 51. Let it update and runs perfectly.
So then, everything is working for you now?
Works for me today from the play store.

anyone know how to flash back to stock 7.0 after oreo beta update?

The update sucks and I'd like to go back to stock firmware. Anyone know how to do this without tripping knox? Surprised once u unenroll from the bats program it doesnt have an ota to go back to official firmware like Google does with the pixels and such.

Lol it's beta what did you expect, anyway you'll need to download a firmware for your variant and then flash through odin, this doesn't trip Knox or anything.

Yes it wiped my data but I was beyond frustrated with the oreo beta and just wanted the phone back to the way it was the day I bought it. All seems well back on 7.0. I did unenroll from the beta on the samsung+ app prior to flashing back to stock with smart switch and as soon as it booted back into the stock firmware, I was prompted to download the oreo beta. Highly annoying but found an app that allows you to block software update notifications. You would think samsung would take a few notes from google and provide an ota rollback to get back to stock but they didn't. Luckily smart switch was the easiest software I ever used to restore a phone. Literally plug in and just wait.

OK I used the cheater app to get Samsung + to give me the Beta on my unlocked S8. There is not a dis-enroll option in Samsung + that I can see (because I used the cheater app perhaps?) when I was on the Beta or now that I'm back on 7.0. I did use Smart Switch to downgrade. So as soon as I log in after downgrading, the Beta automatically downloads and best you can do is say install later which is says it will do at night. I factory reset thinking the upgrade it tied to my Samsung account but no, I sign in with a different Google ID and a different Samsung ID but still the Beta downloads. How and the hell do I get this to stop? All I can think of is see if I can disable updates with BK. This crazy.

Yeah I'm using bk disabler and it hasn't tried to force install the update. I'm sure once the official release of oreo comes out we will be good to go with deleting that app. That beta program is some trash. Lol

Well it really looks no different, no magic feature that I noticed except duel messenger if you use that. I will offer the advice that if it's not offically offered to you via Samsung + where you will be able to dis-enroll, stay away. I forced it with the app being pushed here on XDA and now I can't keep it off unless I want to disable system update with BK. Just spent an hour on the phone with Samsung application support, they remoted into my phone then escalated the ticket for a callback. RutRow, wish there was a cheater app to dis-enroll in the beta.
So I took the plunge, even installed it without wiping and no issues at all. Not even a single crash or anything

The thing I couldn't take is when long scrolling, like a webpage where it take multiple finger swipes to get to the bottom or an app like Flibboard where you continue to scroll, the app will just close and your kicked back to the desktop.
Can you tell me how the Beta sign-up goes thru the app, Sammy support keep asking me what steps I did to sign up for the Beta. like they are wise to people forcing it. She asked a few times if I filled out a form. Thanks

You should tell them exactly how you cheated the system to get Oreo. Otherwise, you are just delaying the trouble shooting, when they are looking at the wrong end due to your lies.

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.

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.

Wow, although not uncommon, that puts us at like #8 in OTA's/Updates, with 1 being more significant, prior to this one). Checking out the goods now, always pleased to see them improving the camera function, which is the feature that snagged-me years ago!!
Many thanks again, for sharing our good news!
Just got mine for U1 on Verizon.
Received One UI 3.1 yesterday (unlocked/USA).
Got mine last night - (locked/AT&T/USA)

Did this a few days ago and got One UI 3.1 right away. I had been having the same error for the last 2 weeks when checking for updates. I'm guessing that they just blocked updates for certain device variants so that they can roll out 3.1 slowly, but the update is on their server just waiting for us guys and it can be claimed early by using Smart Switch on PC.
