[cedricoola]

Are you guys making good progress @Manoj ?

[Manoj]

Still looking for testers. The more the testers, the better the results.

Hey
I’m having a S7 (herolte) here that is on the dev-branch of oreo.
I could install nougat and would volunteer for testing!

[Manoj]

You can send a mail to testing@e.email and the team will add you to the group.

Hi @Manoj ,
I sent a mail at the testing@e.email 2 days ago. I’ve got just a few days to try the test process with no stress.
May I help?

Thanks !

[Manoj]

Yes you certainly can help. Did you get a response from the testing team? Sharing your details with them separately as well.

[harpo_bzh]

Thank you @Manoj , I did eventually.
I’ve just to get a Telegram account to be part of the group.

Wish I could help !

Hi @Manoj is it already possible at this stage to estimate the release date of Android Q for the S7 ? I don’t have /e/ on my S7 and decided to wait until Q is out, to install it. To avoid too many moves, as I’m not very techy. (also, I would use the Easy Installer for best chances of success)

[Manoj]

Will check and get back

[cedricoola]

Any chance to get it soon? Stock Android currently on my S7 is draining my battery in less than a day. I think /e/ can improve that (in addition to privacy of course)

OS OTA Upgrade

s7 /s7 edge

Status: Testing

@Manoj

With the focus on v1.0 there is a slight delay here.

[cedricoola]

Do I understand that the Q build for Herolte will be /e/OS v.1.0 ?

[Manoj]

Yes, the Q builds for s7/s7+ will be on v1,0

[ronnz98]

Will the data and configuration still be available after upgrade from Nougat to Q on the S7?

[mav]

Backup, backup, backup everything!

@ronnz98
be prepared to re-install a number of apps like e.g. signal (if you use it):

S7/S7+ upgrade related issue

Note: For users upgrading their S7 / S7+ Please note that we have been informed that some third party applications like Signal do not seamlessly upgrade during the process. The reason behind this is that the nougat version of the app is not compatible with the Q version of the OS. The solution to this is to uninstall and reinstall the latest build of the application. Please note, this will cause a loss of application data in those specific applications. Ensure you take a backup of the appli…

be prepared to have issues with mobile data … APN settings may or may not be a solution:

Mobile data issue on S7 after upgrade to v1.0

looks like there´s light at the end of the tunnel… I got inspired by @RD138 No mobile data connection on S7 edge - #5 by RD138 Other than in his solution/description there was no proxy defined in my APN-settings that I could delete… but I doublechecked the recommended APN-settings for S7 at my providers support-page (congstar). There is only recommendations for Android 6+7 available but in terms of APN-settings they are the same. So I tried and changed APN from “intern…

as of now and apart from the above issues I did not experience other major issues regarding settings or the like (for instance all wifis and all account settings (imap, caldav, carddav, nextcloud…) are still available and functioning)

But it may be worth the wait for bugs being fixed
