    Post Nougat is finally here

    Update went through without any apparent issues. I updated all my apps, but I keep getting a notification "Calender noti. not shown" ... yet they are showing up just fine. It says to go into the notification settings and enable them, and they're on. Hope this goes away, because it's annoying. I...

    I have the Nougat update coming through on my phone right now. Have been running fully stock, latest OTA. Download started on its own.

    Post How many of you experiencing high android system battery drain?

    While I know battery issues suck, and manufacture "support" is even worse, it's not every snapdragon. I'm getting about 45-50 hour battery life with 5-6 hour SOT with a VZW GS7E. Android system is almost always at the top of the battery usage page, screen is surprisingly 2-4 spots down...

    Post Sometimes prompting for Fingerprint?

    I don't have any of the trusted location settings enabled and it always asks for my fingerprint as expected. To me, it sounds like those times it is requiring the fingerprint lock is when the phone has disconnected from wifi. This could be because the phone is disconnecting to save power...

    Post S7 Edge Android System battery drain

    I saw in another thread to disable all the "OK Google" options. There are two in the settings of the Google App, and then the one in the phone language and input settings for the Google Voice Typing. Since I've done this, I've gain roughly 3-4 more hours by my estimate (haven't recorded data).

    Post Gear S2 promo?

    To clarify for you even further, OP, you did not get that S2 as part of the promo from SAMSUNG (not Verizon) for preordering the S7. Your order is through Verizon which is only capable of going through their inventory. The deal you received when preordering the phone was a Verizon offer which...

    Thread Slow data on 4G with S7 Edge?

    I previously had an LG G3 and in areas where I would get 5-20mbps download and about 5mbps upload, I am not getting only 1mbps or less on 4G with the S7 Edge! I am using the new sim card that came with the phone, and I've tried reseating it. Wifi is OK, can't say anything for 3G or lower as it...

    Very low brightness on the lowest setting, and insanely bright on max. Colors look great, response is excellent.

    Post "Look" of the device (aesthetics)

    Looks nice, but slick materials and no sharp edges make it almost impossible to use with a single hand and not drop it.

    Post Phone scratched out of the box

    Should be ok if it isn't obvious damage was caused after removal. It will be considered a DOA device (defective on arrival). If you go to a store they will push back since you ordered it online but they CAN do it. I worked for VZW up until Jan 2015 and would get customers calling in all the...

    Lmao, how did you add an entire line for the watch without realizing it? It makes you pick the connected device line service and shows you through out the process. Just to be clear for you, you added an entirely new line to your account (see the phone number under the watch in your receipt)...

    Post S2 watch or Gear VR if don't see 3D really well?

    VR headsets use the same biological principles as 3D movies at a theater, but they are different in the tech used to achieve the 3D effect. If you can see in 3D with both of your eyes in the reall world, it will work just the same with VR headsets.

    I upgraded from an old build to this latest version and found the Wifi screen displayed no networks and just kept searching. It works perfectly if I set it to 2.4ghz. Settings> Wifi> Three dots upper right> Advanced> Wi-fi frequency band Change it from Auto or 5.0Ghz to 2.4Ghz

    Why isn't there a download link in the OP? Is this what XDA has become? So many worthless devs. They can learn to tolerate rudeness in their threads if they can't provide what the topic offers. What a waste of space.

    Yeah, as I've been digging through it seems to only be an issue on Android 6 CM based ROMs, an LG based 6.0 ROM worked ok. Very unfortunate because I want AOSP but I want it vanilla. I attempted removing that file across multiple CM ROMs with no success :/ I believe when I tried this ROM I...

    Yeah, this ROM got way too hot for me. I attempted to use this ROM again yesterday after fully clearing things on my phone and had all the same issues. I don't understand, does nobody in this thread use Netflix or Hulu plus? Because neither of those work and it doesn't seem to be addressed at all.

    Mine has gotten hotter than ever since installing this ROM, but I can't say what the temp was. I've found that it appears to be the Media Server running. Along with that, I am unable to play any videos through Netflix (won't even sign in), and Hulu (buffers indefinitely). I've had an app...

    Seems pretty amateur to not include proper installation steps for a ROM. I'd love to try this out, but OP doesn't provide any necessary information if flashing from a different ROM. Lame. Have FlexOS installed right now, a 5.1.1 ROM. I attempted to flash this rom which error stating incorrect...

    Sucks to see there may be no more of this ROM, I've really enjoyed it. Overall it's super stable and I like the added functionalities. I came here to report one problem, but also to see if there was any hope for a Marshmallow ROM. Guess not... Anyway, in case it matters just came to post that...

    I've got an issue that seems to be getting worse the longer I use this ROM. The touch screen seems to not be accepting quick successions of input, primarily when typing. For example I when typing "LG" it might take the L but not the G. I tried a touch screen touch test app and could visually...

    Came from stock 4.4.4 rooted, installed just fine. Seems to be running well, really liking the ROM so far. BUT, I lost root. Anyone know why?? Seems strange. edit: Nvm, I see enable root is an option in Developer Settings. Again, liking the rom so far, thanks OP!

    Post [REQ] Rear notification light (power button) for all notifications?

    Yeah, I don't get why they'd go through all the work and cost to integrate an led in the button to only have it play when getting/on a call (who would need that??) and when an alarm goes off (again, who needs that??). Makes sense to have it for emails/texts/etc. Hope this comes out. I haven't...

    What do you mean "set the permissions correctly"? I'm not modifying the permissions with anything, and it sets its own permissions upon installation. I installed again and cleared data, brought up the signing into google screen then it crashes. Can't seem to get it to stay opened.

    Post [Bounty] Root for the New Droid Family !!! BOUNTY CLAIMED !!!

    Motorola collects phone statistics on various things like charging times, apps, and they are away of when your device is rooted. The only impact should be an issue if you try to get a replacement or repair under warranty. You may not be covered if a manufacturing defect arises.
