@Techjunkie The Samsung Gear VR really heats the phone up as well. I"m guessing the graphics chip in the phones works at full power to do the VR.

@Nighthawk Yea, it doesn't help that it sucks down my Incipio Offgrid battery pack pretty quick. It also gets hot, which adds to the heat
I actually started taking it off when using VR. It makes the phone much lighter.
I think it's the graphics chip overheating also, because I start to see what look like crystallized sparkles randomly on the display when things get really got.
This can't be good for the phone, lol.

@just2wikid Did the Telus version include the update to fix the quiet notifications? I sideloaded a different version on mine which DOES include the fix before TELUS released theirs. I assume it doesn't, being the fix came as a second OTA (I had to sideload it after sideloading the main Nougat update).

It's not the ideal way but at this point your only option.

I eventually gave up on BB10 like most and moved on. Was tired of side loading apps, some apps wouldn't work always using autoloader. I loved the OS for the most part, but hardware wise was way behind to the competition.

If you only have to wait a week, then consider yourself lucky. Carriers normally bundle the security updates with the regular updates. Meaning, you are waiting ~6 months for security updates on Android. That is, unless you own a Pixel or Nexus device, then they are monthly.

When will TELUS release the Android OS update to Nougat for the Samsung Galaxy S7? Samsung released Android 7.1.1 January 12th after a beta program so when will TELUS offer this highly anticipated update?

Samsung hasn't officially announced Nougat yet. Telus will be waiting for them to do that. Unless Samsung radically changed their process, they're ususally 6-9 months delayed in releasing updated from when Google does.
There may be a delay as well > http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_halts_galaxy_s7_nougat_update_rollout-news-22777.php

Samsung announced it yesterday officially, so it looks like the delay is over.
It'll be interesting to see how quickly Telus can deliver it to us now seeing there's been an extensive beta period ahead of the general release.

if it's sometime in march then i will probably be using a different phone if i even renew my contract... the samsung s7 edge has been a total nightmare and i was hoping that a firmware update might fix the issue....the amount i use my phone it would better suit my getting a pay as you go phone rather than dumping $90+taxes every month i could easily get away with a pay as you go and put 25 dollars on it every month.. the only reason i kept up with my plan was my mother's health issues which i can say she is no longer having as she passed last sunday so i don't really need my phone anymore

Samsung only announced 7.0. If you want it with all of the fixes, you'll be waiting longer than March for the 7.1.1 release.

Dear TELUS, I understand the desire to not set false expectations, but having a supposedly forward-looking schedule only looking backwards is not the best idea from a customer service standpoint.
I noticed that the updates page (https://forum.telus.com/t5/Mobility/Software-Update-Schedule/ta-p/53566) now has an extra column: "Target Launch". Of course, it's empty.
Over the past few months, things only get posted AFTER they have been released.
I think if 2 things were improved, it would keep customers happy while minimizing churn for the support folks:
- Actually post, as early as possible (ideally a month before the targeted release), the targeted release date.
- Add 1 more column "Reason for delay". If there's a delay, provide a brief one-line description on why it was delayed and post a new target.
Either that or change the title of the topic the "Software Update History" to be clear you're not going to forecast anymore.
My 2 cents...

The BlackBerry Z10 has Target Launch of February 6 for a Security Update. Is this OS 10.3.3?
Thanks,
Shane.

It is likely a security patch. Usually OS updates are so noted.

So I see the Moto Z got Nougat a month ago now... how long until I can expect to see it on the Z Play?
Coming from a couple of Note 3s running different custom CM13 implementations, I find Moto's version of Marshmallow extremely limited - can't customize the Power menu (Power off ONLY? No reboot??), can't customize the quick tiles, no hold-back-to-kill-app, no auto-dimming??

Seeing as how the Nougat update for the Z Play hasn't even been released in the USA yet, it may be a bit longer of a wait before it reaches Canada. Canada tends to see the updates after the American releases. Don't forget the release that will be coming from Lenovo will only be for 7.0 and not 7.11.
