My S7 edge will not update. Still on the June update, manually checking for the update says "Current software is up to date". Phone is not unlocked.

Same here. I was told that although the update was announced today with instructions above how to manually do the update, there is another large campaign finishing up and the new build (PG1) will be available as soon as it is complete.

 

I don't know if this means still tonight or sometime tomorrow.

Either way, you will receive it via OTA when they push it out.

Hello,

 

I was able to download the Software Upgrade successfully. But after following the steps on how to activate the Wifi Calling on my Samsung s7 Edge. The process fails out after hiting "CONTINUE" after reading the DISCLAMER. I checked the cover map for my area and I am in an HD area. And the HD option is turned on in my phone.

 

Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this issue?!

Great that you managed to to do the download.

Mine still says up to date as of a few minutes ago.

 

Sorry to hear about your difficulty getting it to install. I suppose you have tried the obvious reboot?

 

Will report back here as soon as I get it loaded on my phone.

My galaxy S7 edge still hasn't received the update (I check every 24hrs and it tells me it's up to date). My husband has the same phone but his got the update the day it went live. Any insight as to why?

I was able to do the update and ever since then I keep getting a pop up message "Unfortunately, IMS Service has stopped" and when I click OK it will pop up again about 5 seconds later. Any way to go back to the previous software version or fix this error??

I did the update on my S7 edge, now my phone has so many issues. I'm not getting any notification sounds that I have a text message. I have tried everything. Anyone know what's up?
