Hmm. Never mind. Said Bixby voice but looks like nothing changed.

Boy after training, Bixby doesn't recognize anything after hi Bixby.

Had to clear data on Hello Bixby and now works pretty darn well.

Mine "upgraded" as part of the "early access" program. It's useless - no matter what I ask, I get "Please wait a moment and try again."
Google doesn't give me that error message...ever.

Is it too late for me to get or register? Can i just download the apk?
Thanks in advance!

They reopened the beta. Go to this site and you should be able to sign up.

I was able to Signup for beta last night :laugh:

An update, for what it's worth: I've turned off everything I could on Bixby and Bixby Voice. Both drained by battery with no real value. I found Bixby Voice to be worthless - it couldn't figure out a thing. I don't have any trouble with Google, so it's not just me (although I did live in Texas and Massachusetts; I may have warring accents).

Pahk the cah in the garage. Y’all. (Former Masshole here)

I signed up on July 2 and just got the update yesterday.
Bixby voice and Google assistant both working now

Bixby voice constantly locked my phone up, forcing me to do a forced shutdown. I used package disabiler to freeze it. As of right now Google now is way better

Yeah, I got the early access update two days ago. I'm really trying to give Bixby a fair shot, but it has this far failed to impress. I can see where Google Assistant could learn a few things from Bixby, such as interacting with phone settings. I'd even love to have a Google Assistant button for text dictation. So far Google Assistant is much more useful. When I tell Google Assistant to take me to the nearest Starbucks, it just says OK, and goes straight to Maps and starts navigating. Bixby on the other hand will usually just give me a link to the Starbucks Wikipedia article. Very helpful :rolls eyes:

Verizon Caller Name ID App

Is anyone else not able to get this app to load?
I have the $2.99 per month service enabled and was working on my Note 3 earlier (granted it was an older app).
I just cannot get this app to load no matter what, it keeps spinning at the splash screen and never goes further (already tried clearing data/cache for the app many times).
Anyone else seeing the same issue?
How can i found it now ?
Well what do you know, all of the sudden it started working. I think Verizon turned on some service on the backend because I swear I've been at this all day yesterday.
App wouldn't work for 2 or 3 days then boom. It's on. Does anyone find that this service works good? I haven't gotten enough calls yet

I think it is bad app for Verizon. Coz..This app is the reason you get both WiFi and 4G icons on the notification bar.

T-Mobile TV

EDIT:
Ok it's called Live TV not T-Mobile TV. It wasn't on my phone until today. My coworker looked on his phone and it is on his phone too, and it wasn't there before.
Pretty alarming, and at least we can uninstall it, but makes you wonder what they can do in the future.
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
It was on my phone from first boot. I actually subscribe to Sling TV so the discount was a nice little bonus. I've since deleted the app but I want to say it was like 30% off for a year? They applied the discount to my existing sling account like Netflix does with their promotion.

Did you get your phone today? I didn't see this until today at the end of my list (I put it alphabetical) I have never seen that one until today.
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
Same as you. Mine didn't come with the sling tv app, but it showed up on my phone today.
I want to find out what is doing that so I can disable/uninstall it.

That's so weird that some people are having it pop up today. I was part of the first batch of people to get their s7e last Monday and it was already installed. I've since disabled everything t-mobile using package disabler pro. Maybe if I hadn't I would have seen it pop back up today? I dunno.
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
I had mine since Tuesday and I didn't see that icon. I did disable majority of the T-mobile apps, and a few Samsung ones. First time I saw that app today. Maybe you would have seen it or maybe it was downloaded correctly during setup, but didn't for some of us and why it showed up now for some of us. Hard to say.

Do Not Disturb

Have any of you guys tried turning this on? When I try setting always force closes.
UPDATE: I got it working. All of the devices I had that it didn't work on. Had to factory reset. If it doesn't work do it again. If that doesn't work do it again. I got them all working, and some of them took 3 factory resets. At least they are working now.

I tried both and they're both functioning. Tried it with alarms set and without. All working.
Mine keeps force closing on me when using settings. Thank you for checking
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
No problem. Maybe a factory reset?
Already tried that. So I know it isn't an app.

Works fine for me, use it every night. Did you disable anything using Package Disabler Pro?
Negative. I manually disabled some stuff like Lookout, and T-mobile stuff.

I'm having the same issue after initial setup on an ATT model too
I did a factory and still happens.

Yeah its kinda odd. My partner also received his model (ATT) and doesn't have this issue.
Can't figure it out for the life of me. I just tried 5 different edges. 3 of them crash and the other two don't. All T-mobile versions. Waiting for friend with AT&T versions to reply and see what they say.

Update 1:1 so for from my friends. One works and one doesn't.
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
No issues here from the quick settings in the pull down menu.
Yah had to do 3 FDRS to get mine to stop crashing.
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
same here, FC through settings but I can activate it through the toggle, I just spent 4 hours setting up the phone and don't want to factory reset lol

Mine works fine without the wipe.
I was just sharing my experience as I just got the phone the day before. I had the phone all set up it was working fine on Android 6.0.1. I upgraded to the beta for nougat Android 7.0 and immediately my phone kept rebooting every 30 seconds or little bit longer. Once I realized the data I have not had any issues at all.

I had massive restart loop every 30 seconds yesterday. Have been troubleshooting. Ultimately had to rewipe again, to get it to work.
Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk
I downloaded the app this afternoon, did the registration, went into my setting and checked for an update and it downloaded nougat. The one thing I have found is that Bluetooth sucks! Seriously my music breaks up with it just in my pocket and I'm wearing Bluetooth headphones. Then I took it out of my pocket and put it on the counter and I can't get 5 feet away from the phone and the music breaks up again. Prior to the update I could go to the gym, put my phone down and be a good 40 feet away and it would still work fine.

Is there a way to keep the phone's screen from coming on when a text message comes in?
Sent from my SM-G935P using XDA-Developers mobile app
Thanks to this thread I installed the beta Nougat OS.
Nothing bad so far. I did NOT wipe or remove data.
So far, I really like it. The SoTP meter says it's faster. Only thing that doesn't work so far is my Agenda Widget. Love the improved AOD. Battery seems to last a little longer, but not enough experience to say definitively. I did notice that the phone was warm when at 100% this morning. Haven't seen that since the update that stopped us charging to 100% (even though the display said it was).
The options in Settings are better- much better control of notifications.
I'll post more as I discover it.
Is anybody having the issue where the speaker volume is really quiet? Like unusable when watching YouTube.

Sprint users were part of the beta too, so it shouldn't be like rollouts in the past. Although I don't understand why we've been testing 7.0 and the final is supposed to be 7.1.1, unless Sprint stays on 7.0.

If sammy sends them 7.1.1 them that's what we will get. 7.1.1 isn't that much different from 7.0 just a few features added like app menu short cuts which wouldnt take much for them to add in the final release .I really dnt get how beta is over with all bugs not fixed. I personality still have an issue with Youtube videos not working after some time. Notification tones stop working after some time. No factory reset or caches clear has fixed this in the whole beta process.

G955USQU1AQEF Update

Come through my phone last night, mentioned Bixby changes which always scares me. somebody install it first lol
Here you go. Probably has the Bluetooth fixes in tow that they pushed out for other areas of the world amongst the usual security/performance updates.
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
I’ve installed it. The usual, maybe placebo effect, but it feels smoother. My Antutu score went up about 10K.
Fixed the device being uncertified in Google Play.
There is definitely a performance increase. Much much smoother.
What bothers me is they pushed the May security update. June's security patch was sent out publicly on Monday. WTF.

Think I figured it out. I didn't use my usual troubleshooting steps because I was following everyone else's threads and issues. I neglected to try audio wired as well as with alternate music apps. So after trying several different headphones (wired and bluetooth) as well as various bluetooth speakers, I was able to narrow it down to a specific app that was the issue (Power Amp). I cleared the cache and data for the app and now all is A-OK. Classic case of user error I guess?
