I have a few months left on my warranty, so if the refurbished phone doesn't work any better than my current one I'll just exchange that one as well untill I hopefully get one that actually does what it is supposed too. Lol. Thanks for the heads up though.

So last night I checked for Software updates on my Galexy s7 Edge, and I started the update. Unfortunatly my internet stopped working halfway through. This was out of my control, as a devices connected were disconnected. But now everytime I check software update, it says "Current software is up to date" even though I am on Android 6 and Android 7.0 has a released for s7 edge a week now. Did this issue arrise from the disconnect, or will it soon "come back" and update with the notification? I hope you can help
