So I took the April patch yesterday and my battery life went from 4.5 hrs screen on time to 7.5 hours at 24 percent. I have started testing battery without SD card too as this was the first day sd card was removed all day. Adding it back this morning and still see if it is affecting battery o rif the april patch really fixed something. I can tell you too that phone feels buttery smooth as well. The reasoning mentioned sd card though was back in the s2 and s3 days it became evident that sd cards was causing battery drain and lag even though it didn't show on battery stats.
Currently downloading/installing the May security patch................here in Nashville TN.
Sericuty patch
recieved Seattle, Sprint
My question is, will the current root that's available, is it safe to do with the new-build?

Hopefully people can report receiving the update and any experiences. I just checked and it hasn't arrived in NC yet. Always good to get security updates even if they are not the latest (are they ever with VZN?).

Sure, I guess I misinterpreted the title of the thread 'New Update coming tomorrow 6th may' to mean it was to show up on 6-May. Still, no harm in checking and looking forward to hearing the experiences of users.

According to Android Police: "Verizon Is Rolling Out An OTA To The Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge Tomorrow, May 6".
This was posted on May 5.
So, unless my calendar is wrong, the update should be coming today.
Has anyone received the update? I tried and it says the phone is up to date, but still has the Feb security.
I just got it at 10:33am MDT (Utah). I'll report back tomorrow around the same time if I can.
I had HORRIBLE battery life with Wifi turned on (<10h total with maybe 2h screen on time), but I pay for 18GB plan so there wasn't really a need for wifi anyway and that helped my battery life tremendously.
I'll turn wifi on and report back tomorrow.
Have you tried Smart WiFi Toggler? It learns where and when you want to connect.
The update just became available in the KC market. Any reason not to take it?

Count me as surprised and wrong in my assumptions. Security patch level is 1-May. You read that right. I had to check twice to trust my eyes.

So was I. I was expecting March at the latest. Working nicely so far. It'll take me a full cycle to see how battery is behaving, but everything seems good so far.

Yes, can't assess anything on the battery life yet.
The one odd thing I experienced was it copied the calendar icon from My Knox home screen to my normal home screen (left the one in My Knox fine). No idea what that was about but my deleting it might come back to bite me later - will report if it does.
Feels the same after update so far. What the heck is DT ignite? Safe to disable?

Yay! May security update
lol still doesn't fix what the tmo update fixed, with fixing the choppy video recording and fixing the android system battery drain? still doesn't fix the ****ty front facing camera focus issue and overblurring effect? no thanks.
Does it fix Android system drain? Or false reporting? I'm getting gold battery life but still adroid always says it's draining

took this update like a fool and wish i didnt!
now the verizon variant has the same damn problem with nova launcher double tap to sleep that every other variant has.
when you use double tap to sleep gesture, and wake it up, it won't let you unlock with your fingerprint anymore. it makes you use the damn pin or pattern too.
god i can't stand verizon and their **** updates

Same here.
I got the update a few weeks ago. I finally had time to backup my phone and when I went to perform the update, B393 is gone.
it's not a good update IMHO. After updating to that version, my battery life is dramatically shortened. You are lucky!
I am working on rolling back to B391 now, no success yet. Inputs on rolling back are appreciated!

I know, there are different observations. But there have been a lot of negative reports on reddit. See for example:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Honor8/comments/8jkzhk/phone_is_freezing_and_randomly_rebooting/
https://www.reddit.com/r/Honor8/comments/8iz6us/if_your_phone_battery_behaved_strangely_try_these/

https://www.reddit.com/r/Honor8/comments/8gvzkx/does_anyone_knows_what_might_be_happening_here/
People may have different reasons to have one or some of the issues above, but I have them all! Plus my bluetooth is not working properly after rolling back to B392 on L04. So, I have to conclude it's risky to update to B393. The root may be this one reported on Android issue tracker:

I am using h990ds and i haven't got any update after september 2017!
Taiwan variant H990DS im still on NOV security patch.
Can it be rolled back like the previous updates for root purposes?
Is anyone else getting severe battery drain after this update? My phone's been running hot ever since, and nothing (no single app) appears to be the culprit when I dig into Settings.

My VS995 upgraded to 1BA a couple of days ago and it hasn't caused any problems. You can boot into safe mode and check if the problem persists there.

Yes you can downgrade from 1B to 12a or 13a.

Yes!!! My phone has less than half the battery life now. I've done battery historian and every battery app I can find and it always shows up as Unaccounted battery usage. It's got to be this security patch.
Did a google search for the same issues found this thread. I'm having the same problems with rapid batter discharge and unstable apps after the "Security" update.

Basically what the title says, I currently have the soak test build of 7.1.1 that was posted some time ago, and I want to know if there is an official update yet, I remember some time ago some people said they already received an ota to 7.1.1, but it was only in some countries, is there a global update out yet? My phone is a xt1601 and it is on september 2017 security patch
Beforehand, thanks to everyone
OTA was finally released in the US last month for XT1607. I did it, unfortunately I had to do a factory reset due to some lockup issues I was having, but it's fine now.

I read a lot of things about Nougat 7.1.1 on XT1607. You said it's fine but if it is not much to ask, can you elaborate on battery performance versus Marshmallow,or heat issues, or network issues (with WiFi or configuring APNs), etc.? My mother phone was offered the update but I told her to wait until I gather feedback. So far the only clear advantage would be the security patch level (April 2018.)

In my experience with two unlocked XT1607s the stock Nougat build was a modest refinement over Marshmallow with no (zero) downsides. That may seem nebulous but reflects reality when focused on the big picture. I generally run rooted stock on moto devices (probably own a dozen) and rarely run into significant issues once builds have stabalized. Most reported problems are self-inflicted wounds or purists who would take issue with perfection.

I am having it crash every time it registers on the cell network. Only way to use the phone is in airplane mode.

Sorry it took me so long to reply. Unfortunately, even after I did the reset, the freezing continued. However, after I changed some notification settings and disabled a few apps, it stopped. It hasn't froze in over a week now. Maybe it was just instability immediately following the update.
Otherwise, the battery seems about the same as it was on Marshmallow. No issues with WiFi or data, or overheating. I would still be cautious about updating it, though, unless you have the time to fix any potential issues that may appear.

You have posted the same basic question in multiple threads w/o response which suggests the answer is unknown. Backup what you have now and try the TWRP flashable build which was current as of June 1st. Good luck.

Hey Troops! I just picked up another OTA firmware update/enhancements for my beast, SM-N986U1, CTLB(Jan.21).Received it sometime b-4 05:30 hrs.(EST) via my wc, affectionately referred to as t-mob(not sure after 10 yrs. with 'em what the "t" represents, but trust me the "mob" stands for mostly over bull****!) lol
It's coded as an update /enhancements pkg., as many of you know by the "U" in place of an "S", or Security pkg.(If your confused, that's because I'm a Pro, and good at it..getting folks mixed-up)! For that, I have provided a screenshot with developer notes explaining it's usage in great detail with my s-pen, to help resolve any confusion I may have caused you(unintentional I promise, see arrow). Happy Friday, Ya'll!

The last one you received CTLB was an actual software update or enhancements received, as if they tweaked something in the coding to make a device function run smoother, for example. The first OTA we received CTL7 was the security patch for January '21.
Thanks, @znel52 and @evnStevn!
