Samsung Galaxy J7 (2015) SM-J700H (OTA CONFIRMED) - Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion

I spoke with a live chat on Samsung.com about the J7 2015 having the nougat update and he confirmed that it is in development
"[System:22:48:17] A member of our web team will be available soon.
[System:22:48:20] Welcome to Samsung Australia Live Chat.
[Rom(Agent):22:49:02] G’day, Oggy. My name is Rom. Sorry, but the J7 does not have a Nougat update yet. Unfortunately, it is not yet compatible.
[Cather Oggy(Customer):22:49:25] oh so it will never have the update?
[Cather Oggy(Customer):23:09:46]can you check if it's in development or something or i may have to root for nougat
[Rom(Agent):23:12:09] It is already on development.
[Cather Oggy(Customer):23:12:29] ohh then no need for root
[Rom(Agent):23:12:40] Yes, that is correct.
[Cather Oggy(Customer):23:12:49] when do you think is the expected release date for it?
[Rom(Agent):23:13:01] By the way, please do not root the device, because, it might void its warranty.
[Cather Oggy(Customer):23:13:08] oh ok
[Rom(Agent):23:13:43] There might be some possibilities, that it will be released on the next month after releasing the Note 8.
[Cather Oggy(Customer):23:14:17] for the 2015 version of the J7? (SM-J700H)
[Rom(Agent):23:16:00] As of now there are no exact updates, since they are currently focusing on the release of the Note 8.
[Cather Oggy(Customer):23:17:02] oh but it is in development correct? (for SM-J700H)
[Rom(Agent):23:17:16] Yes, that is correct.
[Cather Oggy(Customer):23:18:01] Ok thank you i will update people on XDA Forums that it is in development

Not sure when the nougat update will come out on J700T

Since there was just a system update to the j7 prime with july security patchs theres not going to be a update for atleast 2 to 3 months.. samsung isnt like google when it comes to software updates. Google releases software updates every month but samsung does it within the 3 month period or so... now the j7 2015 wont get the update next month theres gonna be quite a few of compatability issues due to the 1.5 gb ram on the j7 2015. This is the reason samsung has been making new j7s so they can come preinstalled with the newest software and features now you gotta look at this like the galaxy s series every year the newer version got the latest software and features while the version the year before got just one version update up to the next one.. 1.5 gb ram phones have always had software restrictions.

Android 4.4.4 update for 13 Samsung Galaxy Smartphones (S4 mini)

Android updates have always been a crucial part for every android adopter, while there might be fellas who just don’t care about them, most of us feel the other way around. Samsung is certainly the leader of the Android gang, with a wide spread sales network and the ever growing list of Galaxy Smartphones. Today we have details about 13 Samsung Galaxy Devices that are likely to be updated to Android 4.4.4 in the ongoing and following months, thanks to our sources and loyal readers. You can check out all the devices and time frames in the leaked update roadmap attached below.

The top dogs Galaxy S5 and Note 3 as expected have already completed their updates, meaning you can see them rolling out globally anytime now. The other less famed ones like the Galaxy S4, Note 3 Neo, Grand 2, Galaxy S4 Mini and surprisingly Galaxy Note 2 (LTE & Dual SIM variants of the concerned one’s too) are either “Under Testing” or “Pending” at the moment, hence a roll out it expected to hit the Asian, Australian, African and European regions next month.
As usual keep in mind that the time frames for your specific region/country/carrier may differ widely from the others, but eventually you will get an update if you happen to have the qualified models.

Great news ! I don't see i9195 there but i'm sure that we will receive the update
LOL !!!!! incredible ..... :laugh:
I really believe it ONLY when i will see it "officialy" !!! at SamMobile , Kies ...for example !
official for our phones it will be in march 2015 or maybe later, if now the tests are in pending.
4.4.4 is not changing very much in the firmware so it won't be difficult to implement

True. Especially considering they haven't even fully rolled out 4.4.2 yet. Almost 4 months since they've started, and still not arrived for Nordic countries.
I am also still waiting voor 4.4.2 for my S4 mini (9195 ETL)
So, that are some great now. I can't wait for the official 4.4 for the i9192

I don't think we need this, but we should not wait for it. We will likely see it when the S6 will be out.

Hooray!
Hopefully they maybe will turn to definitely soon
I am guessing that since 'August 2015' is already gone, you meant October 2015?
Last question: I was not able to find the specs on G800m. Does it have the Exynos CPU?
Thanks again for the update
Joe
Yay! What about the G800F?
Does this mean that the Lollipop update will be coming to the SM-G800F? I'm presuming it is as you said "they have started work on the SM-G800 series".

Because Samsung still hasn't learned that being beat over the head with a metal pipe repeatedly, still hurts really bad and can cause you to bleed out.
I think their policy is to update the old devices but not more than one or two versions behind the flagships. This way they can sort of say that they do the updates and still keep desirability of the new devices for their newest OS. It makes sense for them but I agree it sucks, preferably I would buy a phone from another company however nothing beats Dual SIM from S5 Mini.
Why this discussion continues ? It is confirmed that S5 mini will be updated to 5.1.1 , which is the latest version of Android for now . And is not behind the latest flagships of Samsung.
It is a luck for us , considering that the hardware is even weaker than S3(I9305) , which didn't get an update to Android 5.

The International model has been stuck on V20D for quite some time now. Seeing that new firmware is released for a lot of countries with updated security and stuff makes me think we'll get an update soon (crossed fingers!).
I'm getting tired of waiting. When I bought LG G4, I was hoping for regular updates for flagship phone. I have updated my phone on 3.3.2016 and there were no updates since then. It is still on v20d! Terrible support! Half of a year with 01-01 security update! Really safe and funny. These regionals updates are not smart and are not good. They should have push now firmware for everyone, not just for selected countries! I'm angry!
Why exactly we still didn't get 6.0.1? Are they planning to skip it and go straight to N?

Well considering how they ignored M they must release N even thought official support ends in August.
If they don't release N they must release latest available M 6.0.1 revision...
They are doing something but this is like one time a year and not a major updates, for flagship I think this is a joke if you compare it to how iPhones get updates...
P.S. I just checked that iPhone 5s which is even older than G4 have received latest iOS update long time ago really makes me wonder what is happening with android and OEMs...

You can't compare LG with Apple. You can compare Nexus phones with iPhones though. And you can see older phones getting new updates as well.
As for Android N, it'll be released officially this Fall, so OEMs have a lot of time to prepare for it. But LG has really had bad support all over the place.
Do you think there would be a problem if I updated my international device with this kdz?

Battery life any good with this one? I'm currently on v20f, is it worth changing to this.
I did update with LG UP and with my LG G4 H815 - EU works great. I moved from v20d-EUR-XX and no problems at all.
Yup, worked fine for me. Lets see how it goes

Hey there, I'm using N920I Singapore variant too! It's sad that no security updates were rolled out to our phones after October 2016, but I think the Nougat update should arrive real soon perhaps in 2-3 weeks? Because I remember the Marshmallow update was rolled out around 20-30 April....and I check for updates nearly 4 times a day just to hope for Nougat :laugh:

as I can remember, Singapore variant will be the last to get the update because Singapore variant or the N920I model get marshmallow update in the end of April of 2016 so there's a chance that in the end of April we will get the update.
Good news N920I users. Samung might be pushing an update in the first week of the may.

I have an Aus Note 5. Assume I would be in the same general update cycle as Singapore? Not sure if this is accurate.

Well if they are really connected to Samsung Singapore and are working on the issues then I'll wait for the update and yes if N920I get the update then all the variant will get the update include Australia, Singapore etc...
Bad news guys

V20 in the UK - What SW Version are You On?

I have just bought a V20 from an Ebay seller.
It comes with Android 7.0 and it says that there are no newer versions to download.
However, my security patch level seems quite old being December last year.
The SW version details are as follows:
Android Version - 7.0
Android Security Patch Level - 1 December 2016
Kernel Version - 3.18.31
Build Number - NRD90M
Software Version - V10c-TWN-XX
Does anyone else in the UK with a V20 have more up to date software and if so how did you get it?

I see you have the TWN variant. Idk why but it haven't received the latest security patch.

So do all TWN phones have a security patch from December 2016?
Do other variants of the phone have later patches?
Go here -
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/restore-v20-to-100-stock-bricked-devices-t3524903
Download the following firmware -
H990ds10e_OPEN_SG_DS_OP_0314.kdz
Follow instructions in OP and when in LGUP select Update.
You'll have newer firmware with security patch at 1 March 2017.
And use search function, this has been answered already.

I think so... At least mine still in December.
Yes, the majority of the other variants are in April/March security patch

Thanks for that.
I had seen that link but I had no idea if that would install a later version of software than I already have.
Just so I understand - why does my phone say that it is up-to-date if there is a later version of the firmware on LGs web site? (Where does the V20 check for firmware revisions?)
You're welcome. I was also supplied the link by another user, that's one of the great things about XDA and the members here.
Because a lot of us TWN variant owners don't live in the region the phone was released in we won't get OTA updates.
That's just how LG operates. I find it ridiculous that they release variants for different regions with different specs, hardware etc..
How do they come to the conclusion that the V20 will not be released in the UK and Europe?
People of some countries prefer 64GB but others will be happy with 32GB????
Wireless charging only for some?
Then there's the bootloader unlock farce........
This phone is really awesome and root would make it even more the perfect phone for me. But I knew what the situation was before I got it, and I'm still happy I own it.

Because the updated firmware is NOT meant for your branded TWN V20. It will work but you will not get any upcoming updates anymore. You will have to that maually.
Hi Pierre.
You're absolutely correct, but updating to where we are now is better than no update at all don't ya think?
And it's easy now to check for and install future updates :good:

Hi, you are absolutely right about that. And I think it's pretty safe to switch firmware. it's quite easy with LGUP. But maybe LG will surprise us the coming weeks with a fresh new TWN update
And a bootloader unlock too?
That would be awesome, I'm already missing all the stuff I was able to accomplish on my Z2.
H990DS can be flashed to same model firmware of other regions. My TWN H990ds had flashed to Philippines V10g and working without any problem , only two pop-up message after every system restart , but it didn't affect to any function..
Base on the hardware of H990ds is similar to H990n (HongKong) , I tried to flash to V10h(H990n) and it is working as well.
Both version's performance are better than TWN-V10c , i think it's worth to upgrade.
V10H-HongKong
