Samsung rolls out updatefor Galaxy S 7 / S 7 edge , veryspecific bug fixes this time

Outside of the typical monthly schedule,
which brings in the latest Android security
patch, Samsung has released new
firmware updates for the current flagships
Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge. The timing
is extraordinary, but then so is the nature
of the updates.
Unlike the usual generic release notes that
cite unnamed bug fixes and performance
improvements, these latest releases
address very specific issues. The first one
on the list is perhaps the one that’s
hardest to understand, but the summary is
that screen clarity when using Always On
Display has been improved.

Other things being fixed include cover
recognition, flickering video playback after
recording and being able to turn off Power
saving mode with Google Now running.
The occasional issue of not being able to
save files to microSD cards has been dealt
with, as well.
Now, you may not have experienced any of
those, but that’s no reason not to go
through with the updates when they arrive
(ours haven’t yet). Oddly, for such a short
and specific list, the firmware files are quite
hefty, at 332MB and 353MB for the S7 and
S7 edge respectively. Some bugs they
must have been.
