Hey guys , just letting you know that I gave up on Samsung updates. Reverted to Nougat, it took me an hour all in all with Odin and Samsung Switch. Life is good again:   ... View more

I got the update 4-5 days ago - big one (300MB or so). No change in battery life, only it no longer attributes the drain to cell standby only. I travelled to the Netherlands two days ago and drained two full charges in one day, which is quite horrible. If I interpret well what @AntS is saying, the higher drain is accross the board, so modem/bootloader flash shouldn't help. So my decision at this point is to go back to Nougat. It will make quite a mess for me (most notably I'll lose my mBanking tokens) but at least the phone won't be betraying me at 5pm any longer. I'll give the modem flash a try since it's not time consuming and let you guys know if it helps. ... View more

Apparently, this bug or however you want to call it, is not Samsung code, it's something to do with Android itself. If that's the case xda solution could be legit. ... View more

I've updated this morning to the new OTA update. It made the issue even worse with cell standby being 26%.       ... View more

Stop polluting the thread with whining and raging. Read through the thread, Samsung is aware of the problem and is working on a fix. S9 got its patch, S7 didn't because it's last year's phone. This is how all hardware producers operate, assigning higher priority to higher paying customers. Welcome to capitalism. ... View more

Read through previous pages, samsung is aware, and is apparently working on a fix, but eta is unknown. ... View more

Annoying thing about the update is that once its automatically downloaded you're not given a choice. AFAIK you can only root your phone (and void warranty) to disable the update. I will definitely try Google phone in my next iteration, since both Samsung and Apple tend to screw up with upgrades. It's a shame, really, since Nougat worked just fine. ... View more

That's my point, too, but there's no point in yelling at Samsung because they don't give a rat's a** that you're upset. If the fix is in their roadmap, they'll deploy, if not, you're screwed. I've seen it so many times before with hardware producers. So it's up to the community to find a way to restore phones to working state. If you don't like that there's nothing you can do other than selling the phone and buying a Google/Apple. ... View more

good luck waiting for samsung to patch a non-flagship device ... View more

I'm just concerned Samsung does this on purpose, to force people to upgrade their phones, and hence there will be no patch for S7, only for S8 and 9. This is what happened to my A5 when Nougat came out - battery life went down the drain. So I had to root and flash a custom ROM which took me whole day to accomplish. I now have to root my phone again and delete the update and disable the update app, instead of spending what little time I have outside my job with my kids. This is really bad practice and disappointing behaviour from Samsung. ... View more

Wow, this was what I was afraid of when I got my OTA notification. I've been postponing the update to learn more about potential issues after upgrade, since my last phone (a5 2016) had major issues after upgrading to Android 7. No way I'm gonna upgrade after this, I plan to root and disable the software update app to remove the annoying notification. ... View more
