Android 7.0 on the Galaxy S7 edge: Grace UX-ed Nougat

01 February 2017
Software updates never come soon enough if you ask the average user. Manufacturers try to be reasonable and explain countless times that it takes extensive testing before a build is ready for rollout, but no - 'where's my update?!' is all they get. We just might have been guilty of the same.

        I bought an unlocked S7 Edge from Amazon (UK) in June 2016. Still no Nougat update and it's 3rd February now.

        So many S7 Edge models without it. My one is listed as Unknown in the country section, but I presume that's because it's unlocked.

                So why are you still here? And repeating yourself over? Is it because your iphone crashes every time?

                      Well there's no OTA for the g935u yet and no manual firmware download as well... I guess I'll be kinda stuck on 6.0.1 then...

                        The Battery life has taken a toll. Standby esp. But there are a few things to like. The segregation of themes and icons are good. I *personally* like the settings UI overhaul. The camera gestures are intuitive and the way notifications are handled is also good.

                          if you can not make something better then original, just do not touch it
                          your ugly ux looks outdated and impractical

                          either replace your entire ux team cause they are just wasting your money
                          or keep it close to stock nougat and save money
                          that way you can price your phone lower than other competitors

                            The official language for Android development is Java. Large parts of Android are written in Java and its APIs are designed to be called primarily from Java. That said, it is possible to develop C and C++ apps using the Android Native Development Kit (NDK), however it isn't something that Google promotes.

                                A software development kit that enables developers to create applications for the Android platform. The Android SDK includes sample projects with source code, development tools, an emulator, and required libraries to build Android applications. Applications are written using the Java programming language and run on Dalvik, a custom virtual machine designed for embedded use which runs on top of a Linuxkernel.

                                      The only thing I'm interested in is if the battery bug is there or not, if yes, how bad it is, if not what does it looks like, battery usage wise, compared to previous OS?
