    Have the 7.0 beta now.
    First impressions are good, plenty of new little additions and improvements fitted around the place.
    Stylistically it looks nicer too.

    No tricks needed. Just registered yesterday with usual Samsung account then checked for updates in the usual place (about device-check for updates).
    Nothing yesterday but this morning there was. Initially kept failing due to server load but it eventually worked after about 10 tries.
    If you are registered don't unregister as it will say it's full then in the Galaxy beta app.

    It's out but it will wipe your phone.
    Not sure if there's a home csc file with it, but if there is use that one instead and it might not wipe your data.

    This is for the S7 Edge.

    Installed last night for me no bother everything's running as it should be as far as i can tell, only had a short time to play around with it, its as fast and smooth as marshmallow so I'm gonna keep it, the settings menu took a while to get used to but very well laid out overall a fantastic improvement

    Good stuff, I think it's a nice improvement, more so than 5.0 to 6.0 looks wise anyway.
    Apparently they done another bunch of OTA's last night this morning.

    Anyway could either of you check if m.boards.ie loads in the stock browser?

    Started going very slow for me yesterday and I'm getting a 404 on it today. Tested on my old phone and it's grand. Used to be OK the night before I updated.

    Has anybody tried this on a Vodafone model or is it for unlocked models only?

    You can do it on any any 935F model of you're going to flash it manually but it will change it to BTU CSC and get rid of Vodafone bloat if you have any.
    You can check current CSC with Phone Info app.
    I had a Meteor one (flat S7), then flashed BTU and it all works perfect.

    phone is crashing some nights when I plug it in beside the bed.. and then it restarts with brightness on 100% on that awful three logo, blinding me in the dark :D can someone link me to where I can read about flashing firmware stuff to get rid of the three branding?

    id like to put on the nougat beta too to get the faster finger print scanner too if that's a real thing, wrecking my buzz with the long delay at the moment. been retrying the beta app but i might just do it through odin if I don't get in



    when are we getting samsung pay / android pay ffs I want to be able to bloop the phone to pay for stuff
