After updating to FRF91, I notice two things.
1) My phone froze at least 3 times since the update when I tried to make a phone call. I had to remove the battery and restart it.
2) My calls are now less clear even with my blue-tooth. When I call someone, they and I will hear static. Sometimes the static is really bad. (no, I am not holding it the wrong way )
Anyone have similar issues?
My Nexus One is NOT rooted.
stock 2.1 to FRF50(manual install)->FRF83(manual install)->FRF91(OTA install)
No issues here. Clean install.
I would agree it seems buggy to me also; it could be the manual update path of updating, but im def getting some wonkyness.
When im on edge at my house, it always seems like WIFI is on demand and not connected (This differs from what my phone used to do and i also have wifi to never sleep); so when i try to access something intially i get a network error then the Wifi connects; then i connect even though im on edge which used to connect albeit slow.
A slight jerkiness when I longpress to remove widgets; don't remember that one previously.
Very erratic battery life; seems to be due to network switching from 3g to edge to wifi; can't really confirm that though; not real rogue apps on my device that are running, but who knows.
Car dock has been giving some force close issues from time to time which didn't really occur previously.
FRF83 more stable
I was thinking of trying to go back to FRF83 as that seems more stable.
I will first try to do a factory reset and see what happens after that.

let me know how that works out; I may do the same. Maybe go back and ota update.
I applied the full FRF85B when I did mine, and wiped cache / format user data from the boot loader. That cleared up issues.
gmail stopped working properly for me.
I have had some issues with my phone freezing up too but my trackball would still flash when i got alerts. I think it might be related to trackball alert because now that I have uninstalled it i haven't gotten any freezes.
I did the factory reset and I no longer have any problems. I am still waiting to see if my dialing still freezes randomly though.

I'm still on frf83 and found that flashing the frf91 gapps has somewhat reduced the freezes/reboots.
My XDA app freezes for a couple of seconds before it responds. Is this app up to date for frf91?

1. Going into Gmail it takes forever to display emails (usually shows the "loading icon" for 10-20 seconds) as if it is only then connecting to the server and downloading new/old emails.
2. Caller ID still does not keep settings when rebooting.
3. Task Managers don't actually seem to kill tasks anymore. Have tried multiple with settings to auto-kill 10 minutes after the screen goes off ... 5 hours later the programs are still running. Obviously just KILLS battery life.

Yeah, obviously, you're using auto-kill, it probably tries over and over and over when they don't actually close.
Stop using auto-kill. Even if it worked you will get less battery life by killing tasks. Read up about it. Only reason to EVER kill something is if it isn't acting nicely and has a bug that keeps using CPU or keeps the phone awake.
Factory Reset works almost all the time
If you got problems after update you should allways wipe (factory reset)
Anyone else having issues with the Market? I'll explain a little further. Anytime I purchase/pay for an app, it says Completing Checkout or whatever and then Waiting to Install...
I wait. Then I wait. I wait some more. Nothing. Sometimes it says "Please check back when Market Purchase is resolved" or something to that effect. It seems like the purchase never processes in full. On rare occassion it purchases successfully. If I go to the app and try to Install, I get Download Denied or something. Of course, if the purchase goes through successfully, it downloads just fine. It's such a struggle to purchase and download some apps. I'm getting pissed off.
I am having a similar issue whether it is pay or free. Dowloading just stops or install does not complete. No error message just stops. So far not a big deal but reported the issue through market to google (reported as an issue with market) . Hopefully its one of many minor bugs they address soon.

having issues here too, I get it when pressing install, sometimes nothing happens till the 5th or 6th time then it says connection error and I have to hit retry several times before it shows me the permissions page so i can accept the download. Thinking about returning This and waiting for the Samsung tab

for whatever its worth, the market has been doing that on my other two android devices (vibrant and droid) as well... ususaly force stopping it and clearing cache does the trick, but its annoying obviously. pretty sure its not a xoom problem per se.
Out of curiosity are you trying to download while connected via wifi or thru 3g? I noticed that I was having this problem also but only when connected thru 3g. Wifi it downloads just fine with no problems.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
i am no longer able to download anything. The market on my xoom is not functional and using the web does nothing. It says it will be installed shortly but nothing ever happens. My guess is because my Market app is jacked.
EDIT: A reboot seems to have fixed the issues. After the reboot about ten or eleven apps just magically installed themselves and the Market works again.
So I have the stock, froyo 2.2.2, non-rooted, wifi only version of the DS7. I have been having some real issues with the stock browser (only browser on device so far). I notice it mostly when I try to access the xda website (compact view) from the device (which is almost daily now). The browser will freeze, then I get an error message saying it has stopped responding and it asks to force quit or wait. I have good to excellent signal strength when this occurs. Tonight it happened again, and I quit it. Then tried to reopen multiple times only to get a white screen. It is acting very buggy at this point. White screens and non-responsiveness. I cleared the cache (1 Tap cache cleaner) and tried again only to get the same white screen. If the only fix is to get another browser from the market that is fine, however, if after I do that can the stock browser be deleted? I like the stock browser if it will work correctly. Sorry for all the issues. I'm starting to wonder if its me or if Dell has released an inferior product. This theory is only reinforced by the fact that none of the tech stores carry the device nor any accessories for it, but that is just a theory. Any ideas on browser issue? Thanks in advance!
The stock browser is made by Google, and it has always been inferior. I personally don't use it and I don't know of many who use it. Try Opera, its what I use.
::UPDATE::
After last nights little episode, as I said earlier, I turned it off and charged it. Right before I went to bed I turned it back on and everything was ok. I turned the wifi off, left the device on standby or sleep, and it had a full battery. Now this morning when I woke up, it wont turn on. When I plug it into the charger, I get no lights, no indication that it has even been plugged in. And it WONT TURN ON! HELP!!

Try the pinhole reset, then see if it turns on or charges.
As for the browser, I love the stock one. Dolphin HD is another good choice (a few others out there, such as Opera). Personally, I always end up back on the stock browser. This is not a browser issue (at base), so something else is going on; even if it's an issue of a corrupted browser apk. Try another browser and see if that fixes it (if you can get your S7 on).
Doesn't that reset the device as in restoring to factory settings? Won't that erase everything I have done so far?

No, it forces a restart like the reset button on your computer.
Thanks. Got it done.
Glad you're up and running; now go root that sucker! Just on principle . . .
Try Dolphin HD
I would HIGHLY recommend trying dolphin hd browser. The biggest benefits, for me anyway, is it's xmarks plugin and lastpass plugin.
I have an inspire 4G android phone, dell streak tab, work desktop, travel laptop and wives pink netbook all running those 2 plugins and it works GREAT!
Xmarks syncs all your devices bookmarks between ALL the machines you use. Every computer i turn on is identical. If you change or add a bookmark on one device, all the others are updated instantly. The other nice thing is it's "open tabs" screen. You can see what tabs are open on another computer and open that same page directly on your tablet or smartphone. Theres a lot more, just read up on it.
Lastpass, if your not familiar will sync all your passwords across all your devices, including the DS7 when using Dolphin browser. It really comes in handy when you just cant remember that login password that your office computer remembers. With last pass, it will automatically enter it from any of the supported devices you use.
There are lots of other plugins for it too. I used to use opera, but setup this way dolphin is the BEST!!!

Mine had issues when I first upgraded to nougat with mirroring but it magically fixed itself lol
Only thing I've noticed is even with Auto rightness off the screen still dims itself ever so slightly when you leave a lighted area and go to a darker area, I'm assuming it's the blue light filter....Even though I have that option turned off.

Only issue I've had is a daily "Android System has stopped" popup, but it's pretty uneventful. Nothing crashes, phone doesn't restart. Just hit "ok" and go about my business. I assume it's related to the disabled package list I've carried over from MM.

Hi Norbarb,
Last weekend, I was on QA4 then I Odin'd back to APK1 and took the Official ATT OTA update to Nougat 7.0.
I just tested screen mirroring and it worked without any problems. Sorry, I don't have a Samsung BluRay to test.
Now the issue that I've been having is reboots. In the beginning, when I was first on N7.0 I had no problems whatsoever for a few days.
- On Feb. 20th, I kept getting a message that one of my apps unexpectedly closed. Now this app is old and wasn't even supported on MM (it's called Webcams widget) but it had worked flawlessly on MM and Nougat QA4.
- Then on Feb. 21st I had a couple of reboots happen, I went into a solid Bootloop that started in the afternoon and kept rebooting for around 10-15 times! It stopped long enough for me to actually Power Off my S7E down in the normal manner and I left it that way for around 5 minutes.
- I searched for solutions and finally ended up clearing the Cache Partition like this:
Wipe cache partition
Turn off the device.
Press and hold the Volume Up key, Home key, and Power key at the same time.
When the phone powers on, the Android System Recovery screen appears approx. 30 seconds later.
Release all of the keys.
Press the Volume down key to highlight "wipe cache partition."
Press the Power key to select.
Press the Volume down key to highlight “yes” and press thePower key to select.
When the wipe cache partition is complete, “Reboot system now” is highlighted.
Press the Power key to restart the device.
My phone went without a reboot for almost 2 days then yesterday afternoon I had one single reboot. My next test (if needed) will be to clear each app cache/data. Unless it gets really, really bad again, only then will I resort to a complete reset.
The only difference between using my phone on the official QA6 and the sideloaded QA4 is that I had turned off auto-updating for my Play Store apps when on QA4 (and earlier). I had a lot of updates occur when updating to QA6.
Doing more research today, I found an article talking about some common Nougat problems and possible fixes here.

Did you preform factory reset ?
It help me with lot of problems. Just make backup using Samsung Cloud and after factory reset using restore from Samsung cloud you will have 97% all of you settings and apps back. It is wort to do it.
Actually I just took a guess and re-enabled com.qualcomm.atfwd. I don't have a wifi display BUT I haven't gotten "Android System has stopped" since I turned it back on. This was never an issue on MM. If it happens again I'll try a few more packages related to Android System before a factory reset.

Package Disabler Pro. It's the only one that currently works in Nougat as far as I know.
I switched to OnePlus 3T today, and here are few observations guys...
Compared to Nougat on S7E... different level of speed and responsiveness, way different.
I used CM and AOSP roms in the past, on different phones, I know they fast, but this... speed demon out of the box, with MM or Nougat.
Feel bad for leaving S7E forums, but believe me guys, it is a flagship killer indeed. Unbelievable.
I will go back to Sammy with S8 only if they will be able to keep up with this kind of speed, plain and simple.
I was hoping with every generation that Sammy will get rid of touchwiz lags... new phones and new chipsets were piling up, but it never changed, unfortunately.
Touch wiz nougat is a bloody mess next to 3T nougat...
Yes yes, I know. But I never used edge panels... or OOD that much.
Peace out guys!

Hello. My first post here. I have been lurking & reading for years.
I have a few of the minor issues that others have, like the colors will be washed out sometimes, pull down notifications are a bit harder to read. My main issue with this update is that my recently used apps will randomly close when the screen is locked & only keep 4 or 5 open. I want them to all stay open & I close the ones I no longer need. That is why I got this phone in the first place. Now apps that I need to go back to later & continue working are gone. Very annoying. I assumed it was a new performance setting activated without any explanation of how it will affect normal usage. I can't find where to change that particular setting, if it is changeable at all now.

Thanks for the tip. I tried that a few times. No change. Even added frequently used apps to be unmonitored. It is still closing all recently used apps, except the last 4 or 5. I just now turned off the app power monitor completely. It didn't change the estimated battery life hardly any. We'll see how that goes for a while.

Go back to U firmware. If you use Nougat less then week how can you say anything about battery. I got 20-22 hours of use and around 4 screen time. How much more do you need? Why people are so greedy? All i hear everywhere is i want more, i need more, give me more etc. When babble going to blow.

once samsung gives us 935U nougat maybe ill go back to it.
So to start things out my phone was working quite well on Oreo. I kept trying to postpone the update and eventually it auto started the update; without my permission, because I was connected to Wi-Fi after postponing the update about 3 times. Needless to say, immediately after the update my phone started to act what it seems like borked out completely. To further explain my issues ill attach a few screenies as well.
(Issue #1)
The phone is connected to the towers, however even though I can send texts and calls I have no "service" and cant use the internet at all, i.e internet browser, YouTube, Instagram, Pandora, etc... nothing loads at all it will simply say no connection in gray at the bottom of the screen. YouTube just has the circle buffer constantly, Pandora says buffering and will never load, Instagram just says couldn't refresh feed. Google maps will go into offline mode and wont ever reconnect back. Again all of this happens within 20mins or ~3 hours after the phone turns on and only solution is to restart phone. This is also not network related because even under Wi-Fi all issues are still present. Going into airplane mode and turning it on/off does nothing. ONLY a restart or power off/on fixes the issue.
(Issue #2)
Wi-Fi doesn't auto connect even though the option is on.... every-time I have to go into settings and manually click it, not a big problem but why?
Try rebooting into recovery and clearing cache. If that doesn't fix it, try a factory reset.

I've been running Pie since the betas, and am now on CSAA and I don't have any of those issues. Hopefully a factory reset fixes it all for you.
Any update on the issue OP?
I am also on Pie view firmware science and haven't experienced any of those symptoms. For me, only 2 other hiccups where my video on my lock screen somehow flipped upside down randomly and the 2nd i lost my customized notification bar icons via swift installer.
