Software Update Schedule Discussion

[silentace7]

Very professionally done. You should really remove this page and put 'updates to come to Android phones one day, we're not really sure when.' I think I will be switching phones to the nexus devices to actually get updates faster than this half a snail's pace. The Telus experience is not one I'm impressed with. Makes me consider switching providers. 

[wat]

They certainly have.

Bell, SaskTel, and Freedom released the Nougat update for S7 and S7 Edge.

Hey Mustang_Driver! Giid to see ya here, talked to ya on XDA, anyways, personally I'm waiting on the S8, I couldn't jump to an  iPhone, but they are looking better and better in terms of updates, sad to see the Android Ecosystem on the down because of OEM's, Carriers, and other blockade bull**bleep**.

[Mustang_Driver]

After the note 7 fiasco i am pretty cautios now i have the s7 edge and when i plug in the charger it doesnt take long before it starts getting hot.... but i have turned off quick charge but it takes forever charging.. i do like the phone but it does have issues i could do without.. but thanks for the quote

[BentleyMcMulligan]

Almost every phone, even iphones, get hot while charging. So no need to worry about it heating up. The note 7 issues where figured out and are being solved in future samsung products. The battery had slightly curved corners which caused the layers of the battery to touch and short circuit, creating a fire. Also the space where the battery went was too small for it to expand (all batteries expand when under use or charging) so that also caused an issue. Its a simple fix so no need to be so cautious anymore

Hi Mustang_Driver

Do you mean Telus will be skipping the 7.0 and going to 7.1.1 directly?

Thanks.

[Pop]

LOL. They can't deliver 7.0, forget about 7.1.1. You will never see 7.1.1 on GS7. You will change a phone before Telus roll out 7.1.1 update.

[Pop]

Why don't you answer our questions Telus? Nice relationship you have with your costumers. Why do you have this page if you don't read it? Is it hard to let us know about your progress and approximation date, the plan about pushing out the new update. It's not shame to be the last one, it's shame not to communicate with your costumers. And please don't answer "we don't know" cause we don't ask about exact date, we ask for a info how far you went with the update and when we could expect the update out. Is it hard to give us at lest an idea while every other carrier enjoying the update rolled out already. And don't forget that we are on a security patch from November 6. It is April soon. Six months old security patch.

[Shawn22]

Ah telus only reads what it wants to on this site, it's ok telus, you can play the silent game
And just ignore its paying customers I'm done with telus 23 years with them and they can't get **bleep** straight. Wow this form is nothing but a useless site.
Thanks bell for your 7.0 image, then flag with odin3 7.0 installed

[Christopher77]

I plan on doing the same thing on my days off.. I'm done waiting for Telus.. I just called tech support.. no joke.. the lady told me they are just waiting for Samsung to send the update. LOL. Like you said.. thanks for the image Bell! Don't care if it trips Knox or not at this point..

[MoistPicklez]

LMAO Telus thinks people don't know how OEM's update, that is quite funny, was told the same thing about a different device by some brainless Telus employee spouting out generic responses instead of being honest and straightforward. Hey Telus, you guys really need to pick up your **bleep**! Get it all together, in one place, and treat your customers right, before the smart ones trash your name beyond repair.

[NFtoBC]

The "Smart Ones" simply choose the provider where they will get what they want, and quietly move there.

Just Sayin'

[MoistPicklez]

Or choose a device AND a provider that dishes out their updates in a timely manner. Sometimes the 'smart ones' have to make a bit of an uproar to help the sheep wake the hell up.

[NFtoBC]

Every update has been delivered to my phone on the date promised by the manufacturer.

[BentleyMcMulligan]

That may be but Telus had yet to provide a date when other carriers have either released the update or have a date set. As soon as my contract is finished with Telus I'm switching carriers they have been absolutely abysmal at informing their customers about updates as well as pushing those updates in a timely manner

[Pop]

Big question is,
why Telus don't update the schedule page to coming soon or something, why we wonder in the dark not knowing is nougat coming or no and approximately when? Would that be hard? Why Telus, why?

[Christopher77]

Well that was easy. I flashed my S7E with Bell's Nougat software.. (Odin) rebooted and was up and running on the Telus network! (This did wipe my phone to new but all good; I had everything backed up) Knox didn't trip.. Samsung Secure Folder Installed! Thanks Bell and SamMobile! Very happy!! And Telus.. um.. yeah.. 😒

[Mustang_Driver]

The update came tonight at a whopping 1245MB and is Android 7.0 just thought you all might want to know

[filster27]

Got mine about an hour ago.   🙂

[Bacon_Bob]

I just checked for updates on my S7, it's ready.  I'll install tonight @ home, after I've backed up my phone!

Hope everyone gets their update soon.
