Samsung Galaxy J7 - User Reviews

  • Yes it support otg

  • Is it support otg

  • Sim memory card

  • Does not have call forwarding. Dialing *72 followed by number to forward will do it. To turn off dial *720

  • Same problem

  • It takes ugly picture 😏

  • Does the 2015 j7 have call forwarding option?

  • Maybe this will help. Best of luck

  • Dude, wake up! Stop dreaming. It's 2019 and android 10 is coming. And you're talking about 8.1. This phone served well and it's time for farewell. Deal with it

  • Is 8.1 Oreo update coming out for this I have a metro pcs j7 sm-j700t1 and it's at 7.1.1.nougat

  • I cannot figure how to load music (mp3). Nothing in the directions and the service company was no help. I am not a happy customer.

  • Gold is the most preferable colour

  • My j7 2016 is white, it's ugly, i wish i have bought the gold version

  • My mobile phone j7 is every time switch off due to mesage opening and heat why?

  • Which colour for samsung j7 2015 is the most attractive between White and Gold?

  • The information on this phone is wrong, I have a J7 and TMobile updated it to Android 7.1.1

  • Same....

  • It is time for new battery

  • Try changing USB MTP SETTINGS by dialling *#0808#, make sure AP and MTP are checked

  • I am facing a problem. I connected this device with a pc via USB cable. After that this device is not supports any Ian cable. It just shows charging. Also my original charger doesn't support anymore. Instead it shows "To charge faster Connect with original charger ." OTG doesn't work anymore. I have done factory data reset once. But the problem is not solved. For updating software, Cousfomer Care service will cost 500 TK . But I m not afford to do so. Any homemade solution?

  • Well I mean its a goddamn entry level phone what were we expecting

  • I had that same issue since marshmallow update, tried to fix it by flashing all developped roms unsuccesfully so i decided to replace the phone itself with another same model, i didn't notice it yet anymore :)

  • The one issue that I am presently experiencing is that as soon as the battery reaches between 20%&15% it goes dead immediately.

  • It has been OTG supported

  • it does not have enough ram. thus hanging problem is there while running more apps.

  • lol same dude. facing the same problem as stated by you. having flicker issues already and battery issues with phone off in 20% battery..

  • i love this mobile

  • In addition, this is the reason why it could'nt get official Nougat update :/

  • yaap bro...same problem here..

  • this phone does not support 4g/LTE. And this is the biggest problem. an it's RAM does not performs decent. because it has only 1.5 GB RAM. I say this honestly.

  • It does support otg Been using this handset for almost 4 years Still working excellent...

  • its superb i like it

  • i dont use but i say nioce

  • otg not supported

  • Where did i find the camera setting of galaxyj7pime

  • Umm nothing new, just 25 MB update size :(.

  • I love everything with the phone except the Battery....I have to keep it plugged to the charger. Replacement of the battery is too expensive its like buying a another phone.

  • how do i enable cookies?

  • It is excellent smart phone ....j7

  • Still use as secondary phone with my j7 duo as primary and love i had to change the battery last year though what about you

  • I am using J7 since 3 years.. It is Awesome

  • It is a very creative way of giving information.

  • Waiting for u to tell us what's new on it :)

  • Hi guys, while I'm talking to you now my j700h is updating. HOLY CRAP! I'm excited, idk what features I'll get but wish me luck 😊😊😊

  • They are disposable, they give it to you in plans of 2 years, with a guarantee of 1, and after a month of the finished the guarantee begins to have large, forcing to acquire a new one when you have not finished paying the previous one. 1 year and 1 month of use (screen flashes in low brightness, little hard battery) 1 year and a half the autonomy does not reach an afternoon nor buying a new original battery, the phone goes off with a 20% battery (40% if you open the camera) Applications are closed continuously, the phone is overheated and from time to time it is 15 minutes continuously restarting. Of course, the first year is a luxury mobile

  • True the j7 2015 was ahead of its time

  • It's 4g may not be compatible with the 4g network in your location so it falls back to 3g.

  • i thought the J7 would be reasonably good since I have had several Samsung Galaxy but the J7 have nothing to do with the galaxies and for the price i paid i m not happy at all, it freak's me out when someone calls me and cellphone freeze and when i wanna do anything and i have to wait 20 seconds until he awakes and i do not have so many apps like that, right now i m looking for a new cellphone and i think i m done with Samsung and their expensive cellphones with screen issues and lower models not well functional but still expensive , guess i m going to try a Chinese cellphone this time, better specks and by far much cheaper.

  • Is there any way to get 4G on j700H? whenever i switch on this phone it shows LTE option for 1sec. than vanishes. if its not 4g supported then how it shows LTE option for 1sec?

  • The most stable Samsung smartphone but unfortunately update support looks like stopped :(

  • i already have it. its one of the best phone in that price range

  • i have it for 3 years and most reliable phone.

  • Mine too :D It's an awesome phone!

  • My j7 also

  • hell yeah. I had this phone for 3 years and you get around 30 fps on pubg with the minimum graphics. maybe 25..... but its quite good

  • Can it play pubg?

  • dont do the 50mb update...my j7 started restarting automatically frequently

  • Update Dose not Include any kind of Security Patches. It just a update Regarding Social App.

  • Hello..anyone Got 50.66 MB update on J700F (India)...

  • One of the Best Phone of 2015 Year.

  • I have this phone but I don´t know why it does not take the 3g

  • your screen is dying

  • Do you have the developer options unlocked???

  • Nice phone but this latest firmware update (8.1?) is horrible. My phone keeps resetting, it's sluggish and I can't see anything that's better about it. Samsung really dropped the ball on this one!

  • after successfully using more than 1.5 years I m facing low light brightness and switch on or off display flickering. any solution from experts ? it's irritating :'(

  • 1.5 gb of ram is more than enough for normal use throughout the day as long as you're not looking for flagship performance.

  • With 1.5gb RAM you shouldn't expect much

  • I have been using this phone for two and a half years. I am happy with this phone. It has a very good screen with punchy colors and very high brightness. The main camera is okay but it doesn't have OIS. The battery is removable and I didn't realise a noticeable drop in battery life. It unfortunately lacks fast charging and this causes the battery to fully charge in almost 3 hours. Unfortunately, there is a very common screen flickering on the lowest brightness issue. It was on my phone too. Luckily my phone was still covered by warranty and the service replaced the screen for free. And if you don't use a cover, the frame of your phone is likely to get peeled (which happened to me). Overall, this phone is a very good midranger.

  • they're doing programmed obsolescence, I have the J7 2015 and I've been stuck with marshmallow for 2 years now :,(

  • Lollllll !!!!

  • AT ONE TIME IN PAST, SAMSUNG WAS MY FIRST CHOICE. BUT TODAY I WILL SAY DON'T BUY SAMSUNG MOBILE.GO FOR ANY OTHER COMPANY. I have samsung galaxy J7 2016. it was running well till 2 years. after 2 year of using, its display was gone.it was showing only blank and black screen. there was not any accidental damage from me. company says that display is gone because of some pressure. but i was sure that nothing was like it. company charged me 3900/- for new display and touch with three months warrenty. suddenly after one and half month, my mobile got same fault of blank display . i gone to company's service station. they replaced new display and touch because it was in warrenty period. but charged me 413/- as repairing charge. now only 4 months of using, warrenty is canceled, my mobile has same fault of display. I am sure company will not answer me and once again i will have to pay for new display 3900/-. what i should do? i am very upset this time cause of SAMSUNG MOBILE . I will not go back to buy samsung mobile. and will not recommend any one to buy samsung.

  • what?????

  • Will the iPhone be upgraded to the Oryo version ??

  • Yes me too I got mm but I was talking about nougat So as I can't wait again, I decided to flash custom rom 😳

  • Can you share in more details? I have my J7 lagging a lot now (which doesn't use to be this way). Which apps you have in your phone and how much storage your phone currently have? And which Android version do you have?

  • It does get updates, I have my J7 currently running on Android 6.0.1

  • Hello, I bought J7 on October 2016 and starting from February 2018 it has its battery depleted. For much can I get original battery and for how much?

  • I can play pubg on this device......with gfx tool..... unbelievable

  • I have just bought my J7 about 30 days ago and I have taken the phone back to my carrier,they put the phones back on the network,but I am still hearing static in the line on certain calls. What can I do to get the static to stop. If not will be turning it back in. Thanks

  • Press and hold your home button. J7 is now supportin google assistant.

  • probably he is refering j72016.

  • Hi , Please let me know, who all from - which region, did receive the Android 7.X version for J7 2015. Earlier in 2016-17 a lot of excitement was created for J7-2015, but the same went dry in a while....Now whatever news are appearing are for the Prime or 2016 Versions and not for 2015

  • Glad we are getting oreo. Thank you- thank you -thank you. Many many thank you samsung.

  • Really!!! I'm hoping too. Can't wait to upgrade my j7.. Samsung please hurry up and make it fast. From India.

  • To be a mid-range phone is excellent, even being old its benefits allow you to feel satisfied with this cell phone, at least in Cuba. It is a pity that you can not update your Operating System. Their predecessors, although they are modern, do not fulfill their benefits, in Cuba the coverage is very low with the inconveniences that this causes.

  • I get up notifications for updates every day and there is no up dates available. My screen go blank, and I have to take the back off, take the battery out and put the battery back in and turn it on several times a day

  • nougat or oreo update please :)

  • please samsung update J7 2015 to nougat

  • can you atleast send a nougat update on j7 2015... marshmello is boring now.. i think it will work with 1.5 gb ram.

  • loudspeaker is difficult to hear at highest volume, especially when playing video.

  • Hi! I have the same phone unit as yours. How did you update your phone from 5.1 to oreo? Ive got no notification whenever I try to check for an update. Thanks

  • My j7 2015 is still going strong. Battary Life is going good. Good processor for 1.5gb ram even after 2.5 yrs. Vietnam made 7 a good one.

  • Less than 60 MB.... No Visible Changes...

  • How much mb? Any changes?

  • Most of the times, screen flickering starts after several software updates, as the device gets mis- configured in terms of rendering. Now, you've to re-configure it. Unlock the DEVELOPER OPTIONS by clicking multiple times on the BUILD NUMBER, which is found deeper under SETTINGS. Now in DEVELOPER OPTIONS, toggle the switch of DISABLE HARDWARE OVERLAYS. Restart the phone.

  • I always disable my internet and wifi at night. I will see if it happens again tonight

  • I also but this time .now I face this bad flickering problem

  • Disable internet & Wi-Fi before you sleep.

  • Also got the uupdate but nu my battery is draining fast was 69% last night this morning i woke up it 38%..

  • Yesterday got a small patch update....on J7 2015

  • Congratulations, you got Oreo custom ROM for your rooted phone. Because Samsung is not updating this J7 2015 model to Oreo.

  • I face this problem j7ooh

  • Guys you know what... Im really exited today i updated my j7 to oreo version. Thank you_thank you samsung.

  • Released 2015 , June

  • This model is released in July 2017 and you are using it from 2015!!?? Ha.. Ha..

  • My first smart phone was a Samsung "Little Fart" and was easy to use and I was very happy with it. The J7 is the worst piece of tech that I have ever used. Apps open on their own, the phone turns itself on and the buttons are not placed in a very ergonomic place. I can go on and on. Do your research before you purchase. I took the brand as quality on it s own merit.

  • Not Xiomi. I have one, just changed to the J7. Your data is backed up in China. You have to restore using international rates. My phone died some in some odd way. It just kept losing its ability to function. No restore would work. Bluetooth and Wifi failed many months ago. For me, from now on, it's Samsung only.

  • The last kernel update make battery drain more than before

  • The battery is draining pretty quickly these days. It hasn't been 2 years since I purchased this phn. Other than that I'm pretty ok with the phone. But thinking of switching to a Xiaomi Redmi 5. Is it a good choice?

  • Don't install the last 265mb update ! it gonna make ur phone laggy !!

  • See your Internet service provider or where you bought the phone. they can help you fix this

  • yaha this phone are very good and flexible in use i am using this since 2015 till today and none problem come till date

  • this is very good phone

  • WIFI not turn on, pls let me know how can i do this? be suggested me...................

  • It still runs on August 2017 security patch update, WTF Samsung you just don't care about the old generation, do you??

  • Me too I received the update and did it but still on 6.0.1 of marshmallow Only changes from kernel date version and security patch :(

  • From last few Months there is no Update, lately the Phones seems to have got 2 slowwww. Even Whatsapp scrolling is taking lot of time.....

  • But there is no update in my samsung j7 2015

  • What about of the J7 Neo? I need more info please

  • What is the new update 200+mb ?

  • I purchased samsung J7 smart phone 1 year back in march 2017. But after completed 1 year suddenly the phone get heated after using any applications or talking in phone. I went to Samsung in Mumbai branch service centre they told that there was problem occur in motherboard.Samsung J7 Worst phone of samsung product.

  • Wi-Fi and hotspot of my j7 is not working. Does anyone facing the same problem

  • I agree, it is much better than other phones in the same category

  • Yesterday I got the security update for August 2017. It seems that Samsung still lives in 2017...

  • Very bad mobile i have use 1year 6month Battery backup is low Selfie mode is very low

  • Still Using this Model more than 2.5 years. Battery Backup is superb

  • One of the best phones I have ever used. Battery life is superb...

  • So many problems...I have an A3 and no problems at all...I was thinking to buy a J7, have a dual sim version.

  • You Cannot Store all the Photos, Movies, Apps.... Delete the Photos or keep it on Computer, refer them only when required....

  • I have problem withe may samsung galaxy j700h the problem is storeg

  • What to control logs my Samsung j7

  • for real? clearly stated 5mp at the front...great for average usage...need more? go for flagship instead...

  • For US-version of this J7, confirmed as well: Last OS update= Android 7.1.1., security patch update= August 1, 2017, Base vers= J700T1UVU3BQK3. UX vers: 8.5. For this year - I may need to use my S7-edge as my primary, and make this J7 as WiFi-enabled only purpose. J7-2015 is now on its last sunset setting. Good Luck to all on your next smartphone gadget ..... my advice = get the new J7 Duo-2018.

  • Galaxy J7 will no more get any update info

  • My j7's wifi and bluetooth is not working, it can't be open, any solutions?

  • Yes,,, seems like nothing has changed...

  • I am currently using this phone for 2 years now. I don't recommend this phone. It says the camera is 13 MP for the front however it has a bad megapixel still. TH einternet connection is bad as well.

  • Hahahahahah😂 Samsung has become more stupid than my question .. the only reason to keep using this phones is the AMOLED screen 😑

  • you will get androd P directly 😂

  • IN MY SAMSUNG J7 (2016) MOBILE IN MY SETTING APP IF I SEE DATA USAGE IN THAT DRParser Mode is there please clarify whether it is correct or not because my mobile internet is very very very slow

  • Please submit a proof man

  • Good news to everyone...finally yesterday i got my j7(J700f) upgraded to android seven nougat version. It's really awesome and smooth. I'm loving it. Thank you Samsung. Keep up the good work. 👍👍👍

  • I have been using this phone for 2.5 years. Only hanged a couple of times. I bought it from KSA.

  • It's a midrange phone what did you expect -_-

  • Samsung is cheater, froud, shameless There are no more difference b/w galaxy j7 & galaxy A3 (2016) but A3 6 got Nougat...... Very very angry cheater shameless thief..

  • is this version of J7 is 4g LTE supported

  • right bro

  • Install rom is a good idea or a bad idea? My phone is J700F

  • Yesterday, got an update of 2.XX mb Upgrade/Update

  • Been using the J7 for a year and a half now, it works great but 1.5 GB of RAM for current apps which are constantly update is too little, the phone usually lags with Instagram.

  • whats new in 2.18MB of update j7oof anyone updated..?

  • Samsung phones are good. Never faced any problems. But less software updates. New Nokia phones offer more updates. So next phone from Nokia only...

  • we need updaaaaates !!!!

  • please update j700H/F/M to nougat

  • Android security improvement

  • dont wait, its finished on 6.0.1

  • I am using j7 2015 for 3 years i think it is best midrange phone from samsung in 2015 still waiting for (7.0)

  • Great unique 73162, the best phone I ever had.

  • i am using this phone for 2 years now , stock will be lagging as fuck but if you use custom rom it will be smooth , it can run around 5 or 6 heavy games and 20 normal app should be fine with custom rom , you can try to search at XDA forum , i recommend this

  • J7 2015 (16GB) is one of the Best Phone

  • i have using 3yrs J700F super mobile great Battery backup & nice camera. no heating issu thanku Samsung for budget mobile J700F

  • This is the most worst phone. It's horrible to use this phone. It's hangs continuously.

  • My j7 automatically gets locked every time when i switch app

  • I have to charge up my phone 8-10 hours before reaching the full battery. Anyone experiencing this kind of problem? PS: I think the battery/charger is not an issue here because I tried to use my battery/charger on my mother's phone which is the same model as mine (J700P) and it charges smoothly. And my phone isn't draining my battery so fast. It stays upto 8-12 hours when I'm using it.

  • That's J700T not us ! That T-mobile version -_-

  • Type on google app:- will j7 2015 get nougat update you will surely get the ans.

  • The Nougat was spoiled and did not arrive ...

  • Any source to validate your claim?

  • How did you know it?Any proofs.

  • A/c to google j7 2015 get the nougat update it is being tested now & you will get it it soon. & also j7(2016) will Oreo v8.0 !!!

  • Nought updated ????

  • Bloody waste of money. After 5 month its half screen flickering Low ram storage Battery troubles in after 7 month Colour disturbs in 5 month

  • any security updates for j700h ???

  • will j7 2015 get nougat i dont know but if samsung talk about j7 2015 ' compatibility then compare A3(2016) who got nougat alread, which was launched at lollipop 1.5GB RAM (A3 2016) Samsung should provide nougat for j7 in any condition . Even many budget model of samsung got nougat directly from lollipop. If samsung do not provide nougat for you then ofcourse they are busy in alots of model like a5 2015 , j,s, or c 2016, 2017 series phones so finally they are unable. my RECOMMENDATION move to other phones leave samsung. Note: samsung is totally sucked quality it does not have all sensors including infrared port even in 20k phones .

  • It last to more then 40 % at night for me and I am a heavy user like videos,texts,gaming and stuff being a student and it work really fine for me

  • Perhaps Only you....

  • Who is still waiting for Nougat Update?

  • Bro, how much long lasting its battery is with using all apps????????

  • Since this is not a "in-built" feature for this Model, the battery drains out very fast, if you download this App from Play-Store. if the battery is 100% @10.00 PM by morning 6.00 Am the phone is dead.....

  • Download "Always on Amoled Beta" from play store but it shortens the battery life.

  • When I hear Samsung talking about giving note 5 freakin android oreo I swear I will never again buy another Samsung product they talkin bout givin Samsung note 5 Oreo and we stuck at marshmallow these people just dont care I'm donw with samsung

  • First u need android 7.0 if u want the always on display from Samsung. U can download it from play store but the one from play store is not from Samsung. I hope u understand what im trying to say because my english not that good

  • how to download always on display

  • whats in the new update for galaxy j7oof.....does it speeds up the cell or just slows it down ?? well its the policy of samsung that with every new update they just slow down the performance of the cell....so that the users feel the need to buy new devices....

  • Just updated to 6.0.1 today, better late than never.

  • Charging issue from original charger dont know why its happened ? Reason is update or charger issue!!

  • what does edurance rating means? huawei mate 9 pro 87 h but j7 is 91h means j7 is long lasting battery than mate 9 pro? 4000mah vs 3000mah?

  • reset it man seriosly

  • After 6months it's hang very much Very slow phone

  • flagships only get normally 2 updates its been 2 years for the s6 its not even in the warranty anymore WHAT are you saying about smart??? as a S8 user I dont see S6 deserving of another update and not only that its gonna make the s6 slow as hell to

  • S6 is a flagship in the year it release. Is J7 a flagship? Is J7 a high end device compare to the S6? No. It is just a popular mid range smartphone which people can afford for a phone which cost in lower price and useable. You,the people I reply are really 'the smart people'.

  • Those "smart people" at Samsung are giving the S6 Oreo and meanwhile we are still on Marshmallow the Samsung logic #shamesung

  • Wow I thought I was the only one. We have same problem here.

  • cool bro,enjoy the oreo beta,its way better and monthly security patches from nokia,unlike lazy samsung bastards,who ditch their original models...may peace come to those,who are still hoping for nougat j7 2015...

  • Battery is draining very fast plz provide any update..!

  • I updated my j7 sumsung until now is not working since yesterday at 9:00 in the morning. its keep on flushing sumsung that it. I cant receive any call.

  • sorry i have f varient so there is no nougat till now

  • You should update to Nougat 7.1.1 - IF you have the J7 T or P variant.

  • I think this phone is great Battery life , camera is good But after android 6.0 Its phone dialer app open very slowly Camera to gallery open very slowly It sometimes became laggy . Due to poor ram mangaement. I think if samsung give update to fix these things then this phone will become great😀

  • I have to same bottom of the screen blinking problem what do i do to fix this

  • same is the case here

  • My smj700f battery is not lasting for last 1 month even changing stops at 96%.

  • Nokia 6 2018 came. Going to change j7 2015 with nokia 6. Never back to samsung j7 series.

  • if it's true,then we still have hope. we should wait till feb.

  • I am also facing the same issue....plz help what to do...

  • Uhmm.. yes On5 is getting it to check it out there

  • on5 did n't got nougat update..only on5 pro got that :(

  • Samsung is Drunk? They gave update to On5 (A device having same 1.5gb RAM and have 8gb internal and much weaker Exynos 3xx Series Processor). Are you freaking kidding me SamShit? This J7 is far better than that shitty device and you are giving update to on5 before j7. If samsung wont gave nougat to j7. I will never buy samshit product in my life again!

  • The Galaxy On5 got the Nougat update there is still hope..

  • If the On5 got the Nougat update then there is still chance for us

  • Well, call drop is a Problem with the Telephone Company - the Service Provider, none of the service providers are stable, hence let's not blame the Phone.....Under Local also the calls are dropping but the numbers are more under Roaming.....Cannot hear properly... the bells rings taking breaks,,, the opposite person (receiver) is unable to understand if the caller is serious or making fake calls....even while speaking the sound goes off, while the clock is still ticking,,, and again suddenly the person recveiver starts hearing, in between he/she has lost all words....... Funny issues .... we can only anything... do except nothing....

  • just try to make a new softwear its aproblem with all new j7

  • Yes..Even Sometimes Its show emergency.I am using Idea Network

  • Is there anyone facing "selected network(airtel) unavailable" sometimes?

  • hmm..i've same problem from 6 month...lower part of screen is blinking when battery bellow 50%.. & when low brightness...wtf dont no..

  • Hey guys there is signal drop in my j7 now a days did anyone found the same issue

  • Good performance... i have 2016 model samsung galaxy j7... the problem is there is no call recorder along that phone.....its tooo bad.....

  • No Nougat ok but we need security patches for example to fix Krack

  • Yes that mini can be consiered as Flagship or Mid-Flagship! After all thats S5 Mini not the regular S5! Apart from that i think you too agree with my statement.

  • The S5 Mini got 2 updates

  • Guys Is this an issue if the lower screen part of J7 2015 is blinking? But the upper part is not. Comment plssss

  • FOR ONCE AND ALL READ MY OPINION FULLY! I know everyone here want to have Nougat. But lets just accept the fact that Our J700F wont getting the Nougat. Now you must be wondering why i am saying so. Lets collect the Facts about samsung in past! 1. Update Policy: 3 for Flahships like S6 S7 S8. S6 released with 6.0 and Getting 8.0 ie 3 updates! Mid-High end Getting 2 updates like A Series. Budget-Mid Getting 1 update or 2 in very rare cases. Sadly our (J7 2015) falls in this catagory! 2. What should be samsung doing? : They will be developing Nougat in Jan 2018? This thing we can asume, but the reality is a bit different! Samsung is Developing Oreo(8.0) for their Devices. So dont get false hopes. 3. Time to release Update: In Decemeber 2018, There is not a single phone from samsung got Nougat update that was running Marshmallow! So technically they finished providing Nougat Updates to all the devices that were in there list! 4. But J700T varient got Nougat, So i will be hoping blah blah blah: Oh common man! J700T was released with Marshmallow out of the box so they deserve to get 1 update as i mentioned earlier. Our device was launched with Lollipop dont forget this. 5. What i can do now: I am running Nougat on J700F. Yes you heard me right The Indian Varient with 4gLTE jio sim. Go to xda developers search your device and Choose a Nougat rom and follow the steps to flash. If you are new to this, There will be a telegram link you can follow our group. Above 1000 users are using Nougat in J700F. You are welcome there. A big Shout out to those developers who ported Nougat. 6. ALWAYS REMEMBER MORAL OF THE STORY: The Moral is never buy a Samsung Budget or Mid Range Device. They cost much higher than usual price. I am using Redmi 2 and Running Official Nougat. Yes 6 year old phone is running current Official OS. If you are not Happy With Samsung, Its your turn to Pay them back by not buying and recommending others Samsung Phones. Buy Samsung Flagships only, If you have budget. Never think to buy Samsung Phone. I hope these facts will clear your mind and You will not giving each other a false hope!

  • no updates :-(

  • but we have not recieved any update

  • Every samsung phone is getting security patches even samsung j2 got security patches but why samsung j7 is not getting security patches .i think samsung has stopped giving security patches to samsubg j7...

  • Hey.....i have received the 55 mb update of sm-j700f but after that my phn is continuously giving me trouble....The network always turns on the aeroplane mode....plz tell what to do???

  • which android version? and which country?

  • Yes I got google assistant on j7 today Morning

  • Okay guys it is becoming more childish and kiddish about the nougat. Just wait and get it if you are interested. Else just get another device. Its obvious that everyone wants the update,its seems stupid to fight here. They have almost scrapped the update since it has a 2 and half a year device.

  • i request to all j7 2015 model user,if you want nougat update download samsung member app on your phone and post daily on community section to provide us nougat update.so that they must listen and provide us update.

  • What are you asking?? Do your math its been more then 2 years since this phone came out do your math that's your proof

  • hey..anyone got google assistant for J700F while on Lollipop 5.0

  • what is ur proof bro

  • I don't think it will get android 7.0 this device is past its 2 year support period

  • Do you have proof and can you share it?

  • it will get definitely

  • Where is your proof?

  • J7 will get the update next year

  • Looks like you don't have a real J7-2015. What is your J7 model ?

  • I am not satisfied with Samsung j7. Using it for about six months. Power Doctor says the battery is not 3000 amphs. It is only 2100 Amphs. Screen resolution is also worse than Galaxy Grand.

  • Yes sir! Absolutely

  • Agreed, Friend !

  • That guy talking on youtube is NOT a samsung representative so I don't believe fake news

  • Oreo is already out there is no way we are getting Nougat

  • I don't mind being optimistic but you have to be realistic to...

  • no new security patch on samsung j7 still on august security patch

  • Not dreaming...Highly Optimistic !!!

  • Look I can understand everyone wants the nougat update but to think we will get it in 2018 while oreo is already out is a little stupid

  • Keep dreaming

  • And ofcourse you forget to post the model number

  • Thanks, it seems he is talking of Feb, March 2018......to get the Upgrade to Android 7.X.X

  • Sorry there will be no nougat for samsung j7 2015 ....i think ....

  • You can see this video

  • I got Nougat update on my j7 (2015) about two weeks ago. Surprised. ...but happy. Ty Samsung!!!!! My next phone will sooo be another samsung.

  • Send me source of this news

  • This is what Samsung livechat agent said.fucking samsung Updates are released post complete testing by the team, and we would not be able to confirm whether J7 2015 will get nougat or not as there is no such information released by Samsung related to the nougat update for devices.I would have loved to provide you information on that, however I do not want to give you any wrong commitment as there is no such information released by Samsung and that is the reason I am unable to provide any information aboput nougat update for J7 2015

  • No it's true

  • Haha funny joke

  • J7 will get nougat update till march 2018

  • I will never buy another Samsung phone. Podcast stops after a few minutes and will only restart when power button is pushed. Can't find any help and that is why no more Samsung for me. Saving up for an Iphone.

  • Yeah j700f has 1.5 gb ram And j700t has 2 gb ram. Well our hope is dead of getting N too

  • j700t version has got 2 gb ram while j700f has 1.5 gb ram what are you saying

  • They will say the same answer after one year also.... Working on the nougat update If they are working then it should be under wifi alliance Is it so ?? NO NOUGAT FOR J7

  • During my chat with samsung official they said that they are working on nougay update for this device

  • your j7 has 1.5 gb ram and exynos7580???if yes,i think samsung is a very bad corporate bcoz j700f has exact same specs

  • It is not custom rom - this Nougat 7.1.1, came from Samsung last Oct.20, as I posted it afterwards. It's installed on my J700T1, as I been replying here today.

  • That's right - I posted that results after running the GeekBench 4 app, and posted it from my J700T1, running Nougat 7.1.1 - as you can see its the T1 variant running Samsung octo-core @ 1.5 Ghz.

  • That's a custom rom!

  • this could be a custom rom... we do not know....

  • resurrection remix

  • I've been sharing this FACT in the last month or so .... only the J7 T & P variants would get the Nougat update as they we're out of the box 6.0.1. The earlier J7 F, H, M variants came out of the box with 5.1.1 and was already upgraded to 6.0.1. ALSO to point out that the T & P were certified with Nougat by the WiFi alliance org - hence that complete this saga. TY much!

  • No nougat update for J7 2015 confirmed by the samsung officials and in live chat with samsung customers The device will not get update neither by this end of the month nor next year Better switch your phones

  • Well not yet really after this month you can say we are not gonna get

  • We are not going to get it i guess. Its too late now.

  • Done live chat with samsung customer care He said that samsung has started rolling out nougat update to its devices I asked whether j7 2015 all versions will get nougat update he didnt respond He said to wait Wait till december 19 as knox is being terminated Or else till end of the year Hope we get nougat update Fingers crossed

  • i am waiting and hoping to get atleast a security patch. my phone is now on the june security patch UAE firmware.... its been so long now... no update for UAE firmware... atleast a maintenance update...

  • Yo mah man this is not samsung forum

  • Samsung pls remove wechat from Indian version of J7. This is a full fledged spyware. It seeks all the permission from the user. Leave it to the will of user if he/she want to install or not.

  • Samsung remove preinstalled wechat from Indian models. This is a fullfledged

  • we have not recieved any update

  • The November 2017 software update suck! Trust me, I like change, but this change I do NOT like. Please, change it back. I own many Samsung phone and never had this change in my life. I want my old theme icon look back!!

  • that model can only be in US, under Tmobile network - not found in europe.

  • Which country ??

  • Just wanted to post today received a 147Mb software update to my , J700T1 device running Nougat 7.1.1. - New / enchanced features & stability update, bug fixes. Now running ver: J700T1UVU3BQK3. Dont see anything new in the Feature list - still missing are the 'Always On Display', Smart View, Data Saver, so on ....

  • IT did - only the T & P variants have already been updated to Nougat 7.1.1. Bcoz these out of the box, were 6.0.1 - so they are totally due for the next OS update. Those that came with 5.1.1 have already been updated to 6.0.1. Get a new J7 and sell/give away those F. H M models.

  • I don't think j7 2015 model will get Android 7, because it have only one month to get Android 8 update for another Samsung mobile, I think i should say goodbye Galaxy j7 2015!

  • No more hope! We are done i guess

  • Y J7 didn't Get the Noughet Update

  • Doomed! Still nothing

  • I'm hearing the S6 is also being considered to get android 8. Boy, Samsung sure has treated the J7 2015 bad only 1 update its crazy

  • Starting from the scratch. The end is near. We are never going to get N. Its already the end of 2017, if samsung going to do it then better be now.

  • Yah blind man .... J7 F H, & M - are all 1.5GB RAM. Also, Nougat update will be ver 7.1.1., for J7 2015, and not 7.0.

  • see that 1.5 gb ram that shows that is j700f

  • That does not say J700F or M .... its a benchmark for J7 on Nougat which has the SamSung CPU Octo-core rated @ 1.5ghz.

  • hurryup please farst 7.0androud

  • Official

  • Whats that supposed to mean?

  • I hate the camera

  • You are in the wrong section

  • Is it stock?

  • custom or official rom ?

  • I cant do conference call in galaxy j7 pro

  • it is 2015 model or 2016?

  • J7 2015 Spotted on Benchmark Running On Android 7.0. With 1382 MB RAM Link os here ..http://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/4858190

  • they all lying...dnt believe on such post

  • now im beginning to see posts saying J700F received nougat update in saudi and other places. are you guys kidding? sammobile doesnt have any such firmware....

  • Why are you fooling . If we remove sim card, and enable flight mode it will make phone to disconnect to internet . So we cannot check the update now.

  • Okay period. Your model no?

  • Yayyyyyyyy..... Yapieeeeee..... Yahoooo..... Just Installed Android Nougat in my J7 2015 indian varient SMJ700F. Dont wait for samsung when There is a stock Nogat created rom available. Go to Xda forums and Search for On8 Nougat Port V1.1 Rom. On8 has same Processor That is Exynos 7580. So the port is working perfectly fine even front camera and flash too. Using Jio LTR too. Don't wait for Samsung to release Nougat because they are not going to do it. Guys its your own turn. Use a Custom Rom because you have already Expired yours warrenty. I am using one and now i dont need Nogat from Samsung.

  • Yayyyy !!!! got nougate update to my device 7.0 with samsung experience weighing nearly 1100 mb Remove your sim cards or put in on flight mode Then check for update It worked for me.

  • Oh cmon ,we know samsung engineers are really retarded to push updates.thats the truth.they are way inferior than xiaomi engineers

  • Someone already said the facts here - J7 that came with Lollipop, out of the box - have already been updated to Marshmallow. Thus no room for Nougat. J7 that came with Marshmallow out of the box, will get update to Nougat, the last OS update from Samsung. Time to move on, or buy a new J7

  • I understand. But it is a ph which is very popular, you wouldnt be if j7 gets the nougat.

  • lower part of screen is blinking for 2015 model. is it same issue with your phone also

  • 7.1.1 update rolled out in N. America on 11/18/2017 for the 2015 J7. I am running it on mine now. It should be available elsewhere soon if you haven't gotten it already.

  • Just because a phone is still being sold, doesn't mean it will be updated to the latest OS. Support runs from the first day a device is on the market, not the last. So if you get 2 years of OS updates, that is 2 years from June 2015. That there are still some to be found in some retail outlets is irrelevant. We just got the 7.1.1. update (finally) but don't count on getting Oreo unless you are prepared to unlock/jailbreak your phone. I'd rather just get a 2017 J7, J7 MAX or J7 Pro when 7.1.1 starts to get stale. They should be in line for 8 and maybe even 9 when it releases. If the latest version is not officially supported, it is because there are problems with performance or that drivers are not available. I want a phone that is guaranteed to work, not one with some half assed hacked OS that was never meant to run on it that may not fully support all the features and be buggy/slow or that might brick my phone. The J-series is cheap enough that upgrading to a newer model should not be an issue for most people.

  • *to back it up

  • Come on guys? Its a simple firmware section that you are lying is too much stupidish. Post updates if and oly if you have the source ti back up.

  • Go lie somewhere else will ya? Thank you.

  • Why do you have to lie though?

  • Right, well th SAMSUNG moderator told me 8.1 so its your word against someone that actually works there

  • Really j7 got 7.0 nougat

  • no it will be 7.1 with experience 8.5 same j5

  • Finally got nougat update My model is J700F/DS Saudi Arabia 1219 mb

  • He also said we are gonna get only 7.0 with 8.1 experience no room for more

  • I spoke to samsung live chat moderator he said we are gonna get it but we have to be really patient

  • i think j7 get nougat in december's 1st weak

  • Lets see. Because it is still being sold.

  • I hope that what you are saying is true, the J7 2015 deserves to get Nougat it sold so well!

  • Before this month it will happen mostly, but come december it is highly unlikely. These 15 days are the deadline . Lets see What happens. As a matter of fact,oreo has reached a few devices, its now or never for nougat in j7 15

  • Today i talk with samsung customer care.They confirmed the update for J7 2015 but J5 2015 is not include in the Nougat list and 6.0.1 ver is final.When I ask about the android ver for J7 2015.They said it will get Nougat 7.0 with samsung experience 8.1.

  • K then Why they want to roll out to j5? But rest assured j7 would get the 7.1 if and oly if j5 gets it. Lets wait

  • go to official samsung india website and do a live chat with their client then you will get to know this

  • Really?? Any proof?

  • samsung j7 2015 will get nougat update as on samsung live chat they confirm that they are working on update and update will be rolling out soon

  • "If" J5 2015 is about to get 7.1.1 only if btw then J7 is gonna get Nougat very soon but thats just rumor tho lets wait and see

  • J5 2016 already has 7.1.1

  • This is with 1800 MB RAM But I have also 1384 MB RAM J5 2015 THAT is getting nougat 7.1.1 i have the images...

  • see memory is 1800+, that is Ram, so that is not 2015 J5. may be 2016 or 2017 J5

  • Hope Samsung releases 7.1.1 to J5 (2015) before the end of the Month (nov 2017) :)

  • Yeah absolutely.

  • Time will tell anyways

  • I m not the one blabbering around saying this version is getting it. This version is not so. Stop assuming things

  • Does this mean??

  • No nicosam I cant see one of those features in my phone. But still Im enjoying it

  • I have a J700H I wanna get it to! But I'm being realistic and looking at facts! We didnt even get wifi aliance certified! So who is the stubborn one?? Yes YOU ARE!

  • Still living in denial ey?

  • When you flick down the screen, the options on top should list all the features, along with the standard stuff like WiFi, location, Bluetooth, etc,etc .... you should see the rest of the features...

  • Where can I see or check it? I'm still exploring the new update haha

  • Not so. The device is still popular and sold. So i would not write off just yet. Maybe till this year 's end.

  • marshmallow

  • J700P was release with lolipop or marsmallow out of the box??

  • Awesome! ... hey, did your Nougat 7.1.1 upgrade, come now with these features - 'Always On display', 'Smart View', 'Secure Folders' ,and 'Private mode' ... ?

  • Just finish installing the 1gb size update... and it says here that I got 7.1.1 nougat version J700PVPU2BQJ2

  • Hey unyora - just curious, what size is the update and Nougat version .... I shared lately my last opinion on this update. Thanks.

  • Other models are not going to get Nougat! Only J700P amd J700T

  • J700P

  • what model?

  • I compare my samsung galaxy j7 prime to the samsung galaxy j7 prime demo phone and i notice that my screen is warmer Is this normal for newly fresh phone? Will this yellowish tint will disappear over time?

  • I'm now getting 1gb update :)

  • J7 15 India update 7.0???

  • how to solve j7 flickring problem in my phone plss help me .......

  • K thats great. Then j700f will get it possibly

  • Yessss!! J700P user here @PH hope to get it this week.

  • Which proves my point ... - J7 that came with Lollipop, out of the box - have already been updated to Marshmallow. Thus no room for Nougat. J7 that came with Marshmallow out of the box, will get update to Nougat, the last OS update from Samsung.

  • Now its time for j700f...

  • J700P rejoice!

  • My Final say ....been running Nougat 7.1.1 since 10.20.17, and I can definitely say it brought back new life to the phone. Battery last longer, boots faster, lots of improvements in memory, storage - makes you feel like its a high-end midrange. So far, only this variant benefited from this major OS upgrade. BUT, this Nougat 7.1.1 update did not come with some features like the 'Always On display', 'Smart View', 'Secure Folders' and 'Private mode', found on the newer J7 running Nougat. 'But I do want to mention this J7 2015 -all variants - no longer has warranty. So rooting it makes a lot of sense, go for it, no worries on 'bricking' it.

  • Well lets see. If they can make it or break it

  • It will not happen. Samsung already done any more updates for J7-2015. Those so-called 'Samsung tech support' on chat and phone support dont know any better.

  • Still there is nothing. Possibly no nougat. But you cannot outrun the fact that there is not a chance. Because the ph is being still sold. And shamesung technical support are responding "you may get it". Just sayin

  • One more time .... J7 that came with 5.1.1-Lollipop, out of the box - have already been updated to 6.0.1 Marshmallow. Thus there is no room for Nougat. J7 that came with 6.0.1 Marshmallow out of the box, will get update to Nougat 7.1.1, and is also the last OS update from Samsung. This are the FACTS - check with Samsung ... Telco carriers dont develop OS - Samsung does with Google.

  • Not a chance they already starting rolling out Oreo 8.0

  • A round of applause for the 2nd company with the worst update policy in history(number 1 is BlackBerry nobody can beat them in bad update policy)

  • may be j7 nogat upadate is rolling out from 1 dec 2017

  • I factory reset this phone before and after rooting it but nothing happened. Thanks for your immediate response nicosam. I'll try to ask on the group that you gave.

  • The factory reset should restored full functionality ... it may be the phone is rooted, thus it's not doing a full reset. Must un-root it, then reset again. If these steps does not work, try the FB Samsung J7 group in PH ..... - you may find your help and fix for that P model. Good Luck!

  • Samsung galaxy J700F update nougat india??

  • Nicosam my phone is already rooted :(

  • Dont buy Samsung phone its worst!! See smj700f price dropped to rs8600 from 15k About 40 % they already eqquipts with much less features & after that they reduce their price too much even can't provide nougat to international model..!!!!!

  • Waiting for nougat

  • then I think your next and only option is to root that phone.

  • My selfie camera has some grains anybody can help me?

  • @Nicosam I already did what you told me but the problem didn't fix :(

  • Okay nicosam thanks for answering my question :) I'll try it.

  • I think you may want to do a hard factory reset .... that should bring back its functionality. After the reset, then connect to WiFi to get updates, regardless unlock or not. Which brings another point .... you may need to pay online service to get it unlock.

  • Hi nicosam!! I'm so jealous that T/T1 already got nougat :( sad to say I already got my J700P and it is difficult to unlock it here in Philippines. I also have some questions why is my J7 can't receive any file using shareit but it can send? And theres no mobile data icon or shortcut at the notification panel? BTW I already got the latest updates.

  • Been running Nougat 7.1.1 in the last few weeks now, and I'd like to share the experiences with it .... It definitely brought back new life to the phone, battery last longer, boots faster, lots of improvements in memory, storage - makes you feel like its a high-end midrange. the T/T1 & P variants are the only ones benefited from this update, sad to hear about it. But I do want to mention this J7 2015 -all variants - no longer has warranty. So rooting it makes a lot of sense, go for it, no worryies on 'bricking' it. Definitely will keep it as an active back-up phone, along with my S7-edge, which btw still on 7.0, and will get Oreo by next year.

  • my phone battery decresing quickly....what to do...can i downgrade the device to lollipop?

  • True, device life is end...

  • no security patch, no update nothing.... we should have done all these chats in official forum. so our favorite Shamesung could see. how badly we wants 7.0

  • Last not the least 2 minute silence for those people who think j7 will get nougat update.

  • J700P is a Sprint variant, you should take it to the nearest Sprint store and the techs there can help you - go to BestBuy, I bet the geek squad can fix it on the spot.

  • Why is my J7 from virgin mobile ( J700P ) can't receive any file using shareit :( and theres no mobile data icon or shortcut at the notification panel? Can someone please help me.

  • Hi red can you answer my problem with my j7?

  • J7 that came with Android 5.1.1-Lollipop, have already been updated to Marshmallow from their respective carriers having pulled from Samsung, and thus thereÂ’s no room for Nougat. J7 came with Marshmallow out of the box, will get update to Nougat from their carrier which gets Nougat OS from Samsung. This is FACTS - check with Samsung ... Telco carriers dont develop OS - Samsung does with Google.

  • when you can update nougat in Latin America

  • Why is my J7 from virgin mobile ( J700P ) can't receive any file using shareit :( and theres no mobile data icon or shortcut at the notification panel? Can someone please help me.

  • Again 2 minute silence for those who think that j7 will get nougat update

  • That's only for T mobile variants

  • Thats known to everyone.

  • Hey Man Take A look here J7 Is already getting Nougat 7.1.1 update for T-Mobile

  • Why is my samsung J7 from virgin mobile US (J700P) doesn't have mobile data shortcut or icon in notification panel?

  • where can i find the rom pleaseee

  • the email app is not updating or giving notifications after the latest india update...

  • J7 already have stable 7.0 nougat custom rom

  • so,what is your probblem?,if some people hope for it!!There is nothing wrong in it.. if you have anything useful,then say or else stfu please...

  • 2 minute silence for those who think j7 will get android 7 update.

  • It's not about not being able to support its about Samsung's bad update policy

  • Look at this... Today 'Nokia 2' launched.. Spec's. SD 212 SoC (quad-core, clocked up to 1.2GHz) Adreno 304 GPU.  1GB RAM 8 GB Internal memory Android Nougat 7.1.1(preinstalled - Out of the box)😩 & will get Android Oreo too in due time...😠 So..why samsung is not releasing nougat update for J700F (2015) after having better H/W...😈 1.5Gb RAM is too enough to run Nougat ...where is problem??😣😢😭­😭😳😵&#128­528;

  • I wanted Samsung to show me that they do listen to the people, but I guess its all about the money. Selling midrange phones mean changing phones every single year when a newer version comes out.. Pretty sad really.. I hope that my J7 Pro 2017 gets 2 updates its such a strong phone and was not really that cheap oh well cheers everybody life continues we lose we win but keep ya'lls heads up

  • My last post regarding nougat for J7 2015 .... In a nutshell - J7 that came with Lollipop have already been updated to Marshmallow, and J7 came with Marshmallow will get updated to Nougat. That is Samsung's policy.

  • Just check wifi alliance site for certification of j700f. Last certification date is 2015. So no chance of naugat in j700f.

  • I would still not loose hope. Why? I own J7 2016 and I got Nougat just two days ago, so there might be a slight chance that J7 2015 will get it. So yeah, you can hope a bit more...

  • Hhmmmm, you know what - if you will flash the rom, dont use the J700T, but instead, download from Sammobile rom for J700T1. Reason being is the T and P uses Snapdragon chipset and not the Exynos 7580 chipset from Samsung. Just a tip in case you do choose to flash the F / H or M variant ...... share to all on your endeavor so others with same model as you can do the same if success.

  • No it wont. It will not let you flash in the first place. Even if it does flash you will end up with a bricked phone. The 700t is most probably using a snapdragon 615 inside.. whereas the 700f is using an exynos chip inside...

  • i got a doubt,if i flash j700t 7.0 firmware from sammobile in j700f,using odin,will it work?

  • i had posted many times to get a custom rom like lineage or hyperion.. no u all just want changed ui and some features u will not use.. get a custom rom and be silent.. u know samsung intentionally provides only one major update.. Get a stock android rom.. Bye

  • Good thing I bought my J7 pro 2017 waiting on oreo

  • That link says this: 'Unlike other variants of the Galaxy J7 that came preinstalled with Android 5.1 Lollipop, the T-Mobile variant (alongside Virgin Mobile and Boost) came with Marshmallow out of the box. As a result, this is the first and only update the device will receive. The models with Lollipop have already been updated to Marshmallow and thus thereÂ’s no room for Nougat.' Sorry guys ... you better get the nougat alternative ( since ALL our warranty is over anyway) - .

  • read this Here he says that the older versions of j7 will not get nougat

  • This could mean a good news for us, maybe the update is just late

  • Samsung and its slow update schedule

  • But when I went back stock they are now gone so I prefer staying stock

  • I flashed a rom on my J7 2015 and I got allot of battery issues

  • I'd prefer buying the 2017 model I already did actually

  • If this two months pass without providing an update(99.9% sure it wouldnt ), I m gonna flash custom rom....coz the warranty has finished already

  • November and December are very crucial months for the J7 2015 these are the last months we may or may not get Nougat update..

  • Source to backup your claim?

  • j700m confirm for nougat update

  • Hey nicosam I search about PH frequency and I found this. SMART- GLOBE-

  • But I can't assume if those LTE band will work after unlocking J700P here @ PH. I'm not that smart though but I'm hoping that this phone will work as it is here in PH :( if not I'm going to swap it at buy/sell groups, so sad but I really want this phone. I don't have enough budget to buy high end phone so low-mid end phone is enough for me.

  • @nicosam there's a lot of technician here that can unlock this phone so I can use PH sim cards here. Like my J1 Ace (J110H) from KSA dual sim.

  • Hey Unyora - Per link from SamMobile on J700P, ( ), and I see that this particular phone is primarily CDMA and LTE. The GSM is only @ 2G - a 10year old tech. Unless you can find a carrier that can support CDMA / LTE, then it wud be useless to bring over der @ PH. J700P - For Virgin Mobile, Boost NETWORK Technology 2G bands GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 3G bands HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 & CDMA 4G bands LTE band 2(1900), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 12(700), 25(1900), 26(850), 41(2500) Speed HSPA, LTE Cat4 150/50 Mbps GPRS Yes EDGE Yes

  • I never said T is the only one that will get it I said T is the only one that has got it till now Now run along

  • Not gonna sit here and argue with you I have a J700H and I would also love to get Nougat but I wanna be very realistic with myself

  • Do you have a reliable source that says it will get it?

  • Why me? *You* are the one stating that J700Ms won't get the Nougat update. Maybe you don't have a reliable source to support your statement. Thanks.

  • This update is horrible. I hate the new navigation. Also it has basically killed my phone. I can charge my phone for 8 hours and it only charges up 9% more. And I have a new charger cord. Phone ran super slow so I restarted it, then when it turned back on I was forced to do a factory reset which lost all my pictures, apps, login id's. Basically everything. I DO NOT RECOMMEND doing this to your phone

  • How bout u do that?

  • I assume you mean "carrier based", not "career based". I bought my J700M (J7 2015) from a big carrier (Movistar from Telefonica which operates in Spain and South America) and got their customized Marshmallow update and further updates from them as well. Please point to the source that states that T-Mobile is the only carrier that will push the (their customized?) Nougat update to their J700Ts. Do you know any source about Sprint and their J700Ps being updated to Nougat? Thanks.

  • It's clearly true that J700M has not received Nougat so far. Please point to the source that states it won't in the future. Thanks

  • Lol

  • maybe he thinks this is official samsung forums...

  • Who are you talking to?

  • plzz upgrade smj700f to v7.1.1 we're very curious to get it samsung!

  • Normally career based phones like J700T should get updates last but this time around they got the update first wich makes the chance for the other variants to get it pretty slim

  • Is androidinfotech.com a reliable source? If it is, then we can trust the post linked below, dated 2017-10-10, which says the following J7 2015 models will get Nougat: - SM-J700F International - SM-J7008 China - SM-J700H - SM-J700K - SM-J700M - SM-J700P Sprint USA - SM-J700T T-mobile USA and all other Models I have the J700M model (Peru, South America). Fingers crossed. Here's the link:

  • Indeed a very #shamesung

  • Me too waiting for my j700f to get it...don't know what's gonna happen #shamesung

  • I do hope the other J7 2015 variants get this Nougat 7.1.1 update ... as it is a leap above older OS versions - makes this phone faster, and nicer to run and use. Now I carry this along with my S7 edge(usa version) as it's lighter and battery seems to last longer than S7.

  • Thank you Nico

  • J700T / T1 under TMobile / MetroPCS [confirmed user] . .

  • GSMarena finally got caught up on this Nougat update for J700T, as it was also pushed out to J700T1. Dont see news about J700P, as its from Sprint-based networks like Virgin mobile and Bboostmobile.

  • Check sammobile.com you will see that only J700T is getting Nougat

  • Only J700T till now is getting the update why do ya'll ask here what update you are getting fooled please I advice to visit Sammobile to verify update people please don't get fooled

  • Which version??? Reply ASAP

  • We know that j700p is getting updated. Post information about the j700f variant

  • Android 7.1.1

  • what update?

  • Which one j700f or other

  • J7 2015 is getting update . Update now friends

  • Go on Google and type J700MUBU2APF1 and see for yourselfs

  • It's

  • I'm not assuming I'm saying that the update for j700m posted below is not nougat is fake!

  • Agree with it. Why would they do such things. Serious crap

  • Nope. Still there is a chance, you cannot assume things,ph is still being sold

  • J700M did not and will not recieve the Nougat update

  • I typed the version number on google and I found out that the update is a lollipop 5.1.1 update I mean what person with no life would lie about something like this? Some people really want the update why would someone lie? I think its pathetic

  • That update is faker then a horse flying

  • Only J7 2015 model I mean

  • Only phone that got the Nougat till now is the J700T

  • J700M did NOT recieve the Nougat update !

  • Ah ganun ba :( I think there's no other choice hehehe. Maybe I should go visit samsung customer service center at malls to solve this concern of mine. Thanks again nicosam! Can I get some review or pictures of your Nougat J7?

  • Is it real that j700m got the nougat? Or a hoax

  • Just got my update, the update is TERRIBLE!!!! Everything is much more difficult to work than before and requires more clicks to make things work at all. Complicated compared to the previous system. My camera is a lot more difficult to use. there is NO Panoramic mode or if there is, hidden so deeply it is not there. TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • any other prrof that j700m get naugat

  • J700T - . J700M - . : are both official J7 variants from samsung. F / H / M released 2015. T / T1 & P released 2016. J700T / T1 / P was certified by WiFi alliance for Nougat -

  • bro j700t and j700m are not official samsung variant. past few months we have seen these 2 variant in wifi chartification. so the chance for J700h/f only 50%

  • alright, the j700m have 1.5 Gb ram 16Gb Rom with 615chip. same as J700f/h so now we can clearly expect 7.0 for our phone. but it will take some time we need to wait few more week. #shamesung

  • J700m version was not certified for nougat by wifi alliance..but if it really got the update than we can expect nougat for j700f too....there is still some hope

  • Ay, kaya pala ... dont think it will work over der sa pinas - unless may carrier na running PCS network dyan or prepaid carriers support the different LTE network band which I see J700P support. Since am not there, I can't really say for sure. Kasi alam ko GSM network ang primary carriers ng Pinas, not PCS. I know HK do support PCS. I cud be wrong but you may need to verify which SIM carrier will work on that model. Ingat !

  • Thats Spanish! That latin America

  • oh yes..

  • i mean j700M

  • because it is written j700t in software update..

  • Kudos! got mine last Saturday .... you mentioned you got it from T-Mobile, was wondering what's the total file.size your nougate update came in - was it 1.3Gb or 974Mb ? Reason I asked I read somewhere that there are difference between the two update. Can you share yours pls. Thanks.

  • @nicosam my sister is going to send me J700P virgin mobile from US this coming November 1 so I want to know the fee to make it openline... Sorry for the confusion hehe I still don't have the phone right now.

  • how do u know..tats J700M version?

  • Am assuming ur using an unlocked J700P over there @ PH, running on globe or smart or other GSM network. Not sure what u mean by open line service ... was a bit surprise to see you have that model over there - its usually for Sprint-PCS based network. What carrier ur running on?

  • time to root has come.. go to oreo directly..

  • Thanks for your reply @Nicosam. By the way how much is the openline service for this device?

  • Big News for the J7 Users.. J700M varient got the Nougat update of 1200mb.. here is the picture, someone shared from Russia and Europe i guess. Now we can have J700F updated to Nougat Soon

  • HI unyora, am pinoy like you, and already got my Nougat ver. 7.1.1 update 3 days ago on my J700T1, the J700P was certified on Nougat..... my advice is to remove the SIM card and update via WiFi. That's how I got my update,as I am no longer with MetroPCS, and been running a FREESIM here. The J700P is under Sprint network and if ur running a non-sprint SIM card, it won't get updated. UPDATE via WiFi is your best bet here. Hope it help

  • Sorry lol lets hope

  • J7 got the update months back. Scroll down in sammobile and you can see it

  • Omg. I know it too it is low level not even a mid range. Pls dont get into the conclusion that oly 2 gb ram is suffucient to run nougat thats it. Ram is immaterial with respect to the version it holds.

  • The J3 2016 has 2gb of ram

  • Well if its certified you will get it in due time

  • Really? But J700P version is also certified to get Nougat right? And it also have 2gb of RAM. Is there any Filipinos here that knows if we get Nougat update here in Philippines?

  • I know that. I supposed to mean that the 1.5 gb variant is still being sold. Ram cannot decide it,fyi the j3 has got the nougat (2016)

  • Sorry I meant j5 2016

  • The J7 2016 is getting the update as we speak I think is one of the last phones made in 2016 by samsung so if we dont get it now we are never gonna get it

  • Those variants have 2gb of ram

  • No!

  • Nobody said anything about being sure man, but we did say the posibility for Nougat on the J7 2015 made in 2015 is now 1% or maybe none

  • Are you all sure that other versions of j7(j700f, j700h etc) will also get nougat??? Plz reply

  • Received my Nougat update last night with T-Mobile!! Loving it so far.. but took long enough lol

  • downgrade to lollipop and enjoy

  • Does my phone J700P can get Nougat update here in Philippines???

  • I guess we ll get it in some time. The ph is still sold. I came about a link jus n. It states the roll out in India will be in a week or so,i m getting a feeling that we ll get it. Will hold back wait for it lol. Lets hope

  • Galaxy J7 2015 sold so well for Samsung but still shamesung is not gonna give us all the Nougat update

  • Any chance for the same for j700f?

  • OK. Here is the description of the software update that came in yesterday - Version:J700T1UVU3BQ15, Size:974.11 Mb. OS upgrade - Android 7.1.1 Nougat . : Provides new UX & various performance modes. Improved usability of the Multi window. Improved usability of the Notification feautre and Quick settings button. Efficient space for installation of apps, improved speed of system upgrade. On my personal observation, the annoying flicker is gone when I deemed the display at very low settings and boots up faster than before. Got more memory and the space is reclaim a bit. Will now root this J7, since its already out of warranty, and its the last OS update it's going to get.

  • I knew that the j7 2015 versions that were launched in 2016(j700t, j700t1, j700p) would all get nougat coz they were certified by wifi alliance....there is no word about other versions....I am assuming that they will not get nougat...and if that turns out to be true...I am going toflash custom rom in the upcoming days....@shamesung

  • So doubtful for other varaints. Btw im using j700f. Congrats.

  • Seriously? You cant read the description before installing or downloading.

  • Finally got Nougate update - 7.1.1. on my J700T1. Runs a bit quicker, less memory. New device maintenance show 7.5 Gb available storage space, and 519 available RAM - after running 1-click button. Shows a score of 100, EXCELLENT! Samsung Experience ver 8.5, Security patch level date = August.1,2017. Since warranty is over anyway - Now time to root it to remove them dang bloatwares from MetroPCS. Good Luck on the other J7-2015 variants from PH and HK that they get their Nougat update soon.

  • Hey dude..plz tell which device model number is your one???? I think it's j700t or j700p....which were launchef last year..so they are different from those we have in India(j700f) ... Plz reply after the update installed

  • Had this version had 1.5 gb of ram and was it launched with Marshmallow?

  • that's j700t.. be aware all people.. post if j700F also gets

  • hope its true n releases in india soon..

  • Hello All J7-2015 - US version .... as of this writing, I am receiving a 974.11 MB Software update. I'm downloading over WiFi now ..... This may be the much anticipated Nougat update we all been waiting for ..... will post after confirming it. Stay Tune!

  • Proof j7 will get nougat update.

  • but official is official.. lol these people should get mi A1..

  • I would, but I'd still wait a bit longer for the much anticipated Nougat update from Samsung later this year, (even though a few months to go) .... like you said, its out of warranty anyway ... and I think I'd go for the lineage, IF Samshame does not live up to what it said to all its customers.

  • shouldn't we flash a custom rom like hyperion v2 or lineage unofficial since it is out of warranty?

  • After 29 mb update ram management become best phone work smooth

  • Guess what,most here are fed up waiting for nougat,even if they release nougat sometime in the futute,its not gonna be that exicitement or happy news anymore ,the hype is gone..

  • Actually, the US-based J7 - T & P variants do have NFC, 2GB of RAM - Fortunately, its running the Samsung octocore chipset and not the less-powered SnapDragon 615 which is far weaker SOC. It's the best original J7, which the other J7 versions followed till this year.

  • As usual speculation and 'fake news'

  • Do you have any proof of this conversation?

  • I spoke to samsung today and they confirmed that the update will come but didn't say the date. So Nougat is CONFIRMED for this device. My guess is it will come November-December

  • Guys wait until december 1 coz one of my friend emailed samsung about the nougat update for the original j7 2015 and they said, it can be december 1 for the arrival of update

  • For them whose still wondering that galaxy j7 2015 will get Nougat actual it will not happen . GALAXY J7 2015 WILL NOT GET NOUGAT UPDATE .

  • Samsung can give Nougat in J2 2017...1GB RAM...think 5 times before buying Samsung devices. Just sell and run away. Samsung you are not listening as some time done by Nokia. You will meet the same fate as Nokia in the past.

  • sorry bro have update 29mp now my mobile battery life is so gud

  • bro sony is ok but now nokia android is made in China j7 is budget mobile in brand plz go for j7 pro, j7 max, A5 2017 Samsung always best

  • Realy how

  • Removes gameloft games Updates samsung keyboard Adds paymini

  • No NFC no miracast too less RAM only one android upgrade !! very very worst company samsung ever seen!! please go for NOKIA or SONY.

  • One more Bloatware added...paymini

  • dont download at 29mb update,it just makes battery drain more fast..

  • 29mp update what use???

  • They have just got the samsung pay mini. Nothin else,hopeless about nougat

  • Just received a sw update of 29 mb which doesn't include the security patch. Still in August security patch

  • Video link : This video will help you to install it . . It was useful for me (Sorry for my bad English)

  • You can root it and not worry about warranty since its over - ( and use any app to remove any bloatware). . Here is an alternative Nougat update for J7-2015 . . Good Luck All!

  • How you did that pls?

  • How to Solve Screen Flickering issue in j7 2015

  • I just install an rom on my j7 s8 rom its look better and amazing with it features i got screen mirror and always on display and also multiwindow phone runs faster with it . Im in love with this rom

  • On Tab E only T and Verizon cariar got Nougat update. like J700t has been spotted on the Wi-Fi AllianceÂ’s database running a build of Nougat 7.1. There's much expensive phone like Galaxy A8 released on August 2015, didn't recive Nougat. there's no hope, we not even getting any security patch anymore.

  • Galaxy tab E has started getting nougat. You could check in the firmware section in the sammobile website. Fyi that was a 2 yr old device which was released way back in june 2015. So i just got a feeling that the j7 2015 will receive the nougat update. Many you tubers are claiming that the update would be on mid october to early november. These are just spectulations.

  • My j7.2015 is made by korea.every is good but android version is can´t upgrade 6.0.They never give me update notification.That´s why somebody help me please?

  • how u know?

  • Yes

  • Will my j7 2015 get a nougat update.....

  • no idea man..but i just saw too many sites confirming original j7 can get nougat.So i am gonna wait,in the hopes of getting nougat in this month..fingers crossed..

  • what model?

  • The new software update is worst. It changed all the icons in my screen and its horrible...😑😑&#12852­9;....pls help me how 2 get back to my old version...

  • Check this site - see if you're model was tested this year for Nougat. It's a good thing I got an unlock T1 model on ebay for 12,000 php.

  • When was your phone made? If it was made in 2015 you are most likely not going to get Nougat

  • Samsung j7 user from PH . got my phone since 2015. can I get nougat ?

  • Only J7 made in 2016 including the ones that have specs of the ones made in 2015 will get Nougat I've heard but thr original J7 is not going to get Nougat

  • Yes

  • I have j700h will get nougat update ?

  • good news ! samsung j7 2015 will get nougat update on october 18 2017 every version will get it j700f/m/h/t/p

  • waah sorry dude,i thought it was 7.0..maybe security update,next time i will check twice before posting...my bad..

  • Google it..

  • No...i repeatly ask 3 times and they say it is for J7 2015

  • Tell samsung care number

  • J7 nxt is 7.0 out of the box

  • Right Now,J7 Nxt is getting 7.0..just checked sammobile.com/fimware livefeed..hope j7 pops up soon

  • Bro did u contact samsung care? If yes, did they confirm about j7 2015 nougat update?

  • Bro its only for J700f indian varient.

  • I have a ticket# on this issue from Samsung regarding J7-2015 Nougat update, and no word as of today .... even I checked on my J700T1 phone and did a Manual update - still nothing. Pls do not post stuff here if there are no confirmation info to back up your statement.

  • Google it

  • Tell samsung customer number for conformation

  • I think what they meant is j7 prime and j7 2016. Update is already rolled out for them.

  • I just made a call to the customer care and he admitted that the update will come but he cant state the time or date.

  • Today 4.30pm i called samsung cc number.I asked them is J700F(2015) model compartable for Nougat update.I got reply that J700F(2015) compartable for nougat update and update already rolling out.We get update with in a week.So all the J7 user cheers.Finally samsung confirm now update already roll out.If any one doubt call and ask about J7 2015 Nougat update.

  • Yeah correct. So it is already wi fi certified and citing a nougat release.

  • With your theory,its already reached the 2 yr mark since it was released on june 2015.

  • And also it came out of box with marshmallow not lollipop..

  • You nailed it bro ;)

  • Update of samsung depends on 2 years policy not on how much major upgrades they have given.

  • You doesnt hav to be a software engineer to know that oly 1 major upgrade will be done for a mobile except for flagships. You doesnt need to be a geek for that

  • does anyone know where to buy a case for a j701m neo (international)

  • Let's see what happens after Oct.1st ....

  • when will the device will have a nougat ?

  • Source? That was a comment from 3 rd march.

  • samsung has 2 years policy so the device is not sent for wifi certificate.And there are many smartphones with 1 gb ram and Nougat

  • Bro i am a software engineer from BITS pilani so as far as as knowledge is concerned its much better than you.And as far as chipset is concerned both are having same only difference is ram

  • It looks like J5-2015 is getting Nougat on Oct.1st .... I think J7 is next. Source is from Samsung Turkey.

  • Yeah absolutely they just tend to do just 1 major upgrade for every ph. Except flagships. Thats the problem.

  • Again, As I stated, the WiFi Alliance tested 3 J7-2015 variants with the 2GB ram. Why the other variants with 1.5Gb RAM did not get certified .... ony WiFi Alliance knows that reason. Nougat can run on 1Gb of RAM, but its not memory in question - its the chipset, which I know J7 2015 does meet. Galaxy J7 supports OpenGL ES 3.1 to run Nougat.

  • Samsung j7 will get nougat update on December 1. Confirmed by Samsung head quarter

  • Who has the better knowledge? Definitely not you Ram is not the case here,the devices which was wi fi certified has already bumped with marshamallow and was released on 2016. Got the required information now?

  • As you dont hav certain knowledge to comment on this clearly,oly 2 gb variants hav been wifi certified.the devices were manufactured on 2016. Rest assured youre the oly one without knowledge. Go get some ideal knowledge before commenting that you re being samrt

  • I hav tried many custom roms in many devices. And also i knw that ram is immaterial for an update in your phone. Dont be too smart, the thing is oly 2 gb varaints hav been wi fi certified. As far as knowledge is concerned, you are dumb

  • NOUGAT can run on 1 gb ram also.Dont speak if you don't have required knowledge

  • were is upgrated 7.0 nought version ???

  • Thanx for sharing. This makes a clear point,no more nougat i guess for j700f version or 1.5 gigs varaint.

  • Based on my own analysis, the J7 2015 being certified by the WiFi Alliance, are variants with 2GB of RAM and released on 2016. The P, T, & T1 . You can make come up with your own conclusions too .... .

  • So its not possible fora 1.5 gb ran variant to get N.?

  • Actually, my J7 is a T1 - 2gb RAM & NFC, variant which has same Exynos 7580 Octa-core cpu as the F / H / M, - the T & P is the SD 615, which has the 4x1.4 & 4x1.0 Ghz chipset.

  • I got a j700f which has just 1.5 gigs of ram. The version you re telling is j700t and it has 2 gigs of ram. So its clear they just want to release nougat for 2 gb ram variants.

  • Contacted my source @ Samsung tech dev, -stated Nougat update to be release same timeframe between J700H and J700K OS pattern schedule. It should be +/- 7 days beginning 3rd week of Oct.

  • Source?

  • Just got word - Samsung to release Nougat update on Oct. 21 this year.

  • All samsung J7 2015 user download samsung member app and give feedback for Nougat update.If more user request then they listen to us and provide nougat update very soon.

  • I do not think he gets 7.0 because he has not received yet (in Europe)J7 2016 and J5 2016. In October I think he will only receive J7 2016 and J5 2016 in November

  • A friend of mine just bought s7 loaded with N. The look and feel is fantastic(irrespectve of the phone being a flagship) the ui is very great.it will be a cool thing to get nougat if samsung allows us too.

  • All samsung J7 2015 user download samsung member app and give feedback for Nougat update.If more user request then they listen to us and provide nougat update very soon.

  • We can never be sure. We could just hope because the phone is almost 27 months old

  • Yes bro, you are right! we will get Nougat update very soon... probably in October.

  • Dont loose hope guys,we will get it soon..

  • If I dont get the 7.0 update, I think will get the J+ (also known as the C7 ). Out of the box running on 7.1 nougat with 4GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, CPU running on octo-core 2.4 Ghz and with Dual 13.MP Rear camera. C710F/DS .

  • Received today, from my telco, a 218 MB SO update for my SM-J700M, bought in Peru, South America, from telco Movistar (owner Telefonica) in October 2016. No Nougat for me today. Phone came with Lollipop, updated to Marshmallow several months ago. Highlights of today's update: - Android Security Patch dated 2017/07/01. - Kernel Version: 3.10.61-11757714, dated 2017/06/30. - Update ID: xUBU2BQG1/xSAM2BQG1/xUBU2BQG1 where x=J700M (Model ID) - Android version: 6.0.1

  • Never buy samsung lower and mid range phones. They all have bugs after upgrades.

  • i think nougat is not coming to the J700F... if u want nougat time to upgrade... and if u like your J7 too much, u can buy it again with nougat and new model number J701F....

  • Dont cry over for your lollipop. Everyone one is waiting for nougat(if its coming) and you re still crying about lollipop. You re irritating others.

  • Can anyone tell me this phone review

  • How can i downgrade j7 through odin to lollipop .... the odin fails all the time .... plz help me

  • It's pretty safe to say that we are not going to get Nougat

  • No confirmation. Mostly we wont get it.

  • samsung galaxy j700f update nougat india??

  • cool,ty...but anyways this is gonna be my last samsung device which i enjoyed from 2015,since nokia is back,gonna buy it for a change..goodbye samsung..

  • That was a joke.. Lollipop will give you best battery back up Enjoy your phone

  • This J7 2015 model was designed and optmized for Lollipop ... Anything less will be bad for the phone.

  • Going back to KitKat will render you vulnerable from all sorts of attacks. Lollipop 5.1.1 has been configured to be more secured and meets a lot of requirements for future install and app usage.

  • i like lolipop better than kitkat..thats why!!!

  • Whu go back to lollipop.. go to kitkat..

  • How can i downgrade my device smj700f

  • Those who want Nougat update badly on their phones.. U have the option to flash custom Android O Rom LOL!! Problem solved..!! And the one who is complaining of samsung and going to apple.. enjoy your slow device after updates..

  • wonder if j7 2015 will get nougat by this month or else time to downgrade to lolipop....

  • It's still a smartphone - LTE is not available on the J700H running marshmallow, but is enabled on the Nougat 7.0 update. The F, M, T&P (US versions) have LTE enabled on current 6.0.1. Network Technology: GSM / HSPA / LTE 2G bands: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - SIM 1 & SIM 2 3G bands: HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 4G bands: LTE: Speed HSPA 21.1/5.76 Mbps GPRS: Yes EDGE: Yes

  • why the F would they limit the LTE devices on some countries??? so some of the J7 in the Ph 2015 Editions are not smartphones but only android phone?

  • Dude just google how to downgrade stock rom it ain't that hard -_-

  • I want to downgrade smj700f plz help me

  • Hmm interesting

  • Kindly visit sammobile.com and there will come various j700f models and stockroms Select the Lollipop stockrom released in march 2017 (lollipop new update) release from phillipine. Thanks. Inform me of your success and failure!

  • Go to sammobile and there will be j700f stockroms of different release and select phillippine with lollipop of 2017 march

  • I heard this 2 either way I will be going to iPhone 8 soon I can't deal with Samsungs bad service anymore this phone only got 1 major update and the sad part is it can support Nougat it clearly can

  • a friend of mine is a dealer of samsung phone in Hyderabad. he also said that the dev's are now working on 8.0 to upgrade galaxy S8 and note 8.

  • That nougat roadmap only applies to the Turkey region. It does not state for everywhere else.

  • S6 is a flagship phone!!!

  • After 2-3 years all samsung devices lags due to software update which increases the number of bugs and performance degradation so dont update j7...... i want my lollipop firmware stock custom UI back

  • It was removed months before. But still there is a chance for the device getting nougat

  • No you just said that Samsung refuses to give a 2 years old phone the update. . .

  • I have no reason to lie I also have a J7 2015 and I also wish to get Nougat update

  • I swear I cant I tried

  • I'm able to paste links here from all my previous posts as soon as finished writing them up ... what are you talking about moderator ?

  • On the link J7 and J5 2015 don't appear on the nougat roadmap anymore I hope the moderator approves my link soon so you all can see

  • The Galaxy S6 already has the Nougat update what are you talking about? -_-

  • I did that!! But it says it has to be reviewed by the moderator!

  • Well then galaxy s6 is also getting nougat update which is released before 2 years ago . 2015 april .. right??

  • All you have to do is copy & paste the link of that webpage that you're referring to - so others can believe or not what you claim....

  • It doesn't let me post it says it needs to be reviewed first

  • Pls post the link that states Samsung pulled the J7 2015 off from receiving Nougat !

  • Adding to the Samsung update policy is one of the worst I've seen Apple would never do this to its customers.. The Galaxy J7 2015 clearly supports the update!! But they flatout refuse to give it to its users

  • Lollipop has the worst performance in all of Android history... just reset your device

  • The Galaxy J7 2015 can support Nougat but Samsung refuses to give a 2 years old phone the update being that they want us to either go flagship or buy a new midrange model every year

  • Just saw on the web that the Galaxy J7 2015 got removed from the Nougat update roadmap Sorry guys :(

  • Its official Galaxy J7 2015 is not getting the Nougat update Sorry guys we got removed from the Nougat list

  • In samsung galaxy devices , it is useless to update the software because the bugs are not fixed and the performance doesnot improve..... the orginal stock firmware is best.... the battery life is reduced and the device lags alot which is due to the increase in the number of bugs...... samsung developers are liars they say that bugs are fixed and the performance of the device improves after we update the software.....

  • Haha you're funny, somebody can make mistakes or read something wrong right? You don't have to insult..

  • Hey punkgts - READ the last part on my last - J7 2015 .... I earlier stated my specific model which I got last year !!! (Go back to gradeschool and learn english again!)

  • You asked him for your model only!!

  • My set lags when i update my device to marshmallow so can anyone help me get my original stock android lollipop samsung galaxy j7 firmware back

  • Samsung Chat: (Sept.06,2017) The following is a record of your online chat. General Info Chat start time Sept.6, 2017 6:28:03 AM EST Chat end time Sept. 6, 2017 6:41:49 AM EST Duration (actual chatting time) 00:13:46 Operator Praveen M Chat Transcript Info: Thank you for choosing to chat with us. An agent will be with you shortly. Info: You are now chatting with Praveen M. Praveen M: Hi, I'm Praveen M, thank you for reaching out to Samsung Technical Support. How may I assist you?? You: Hi - Is it true that the J7 2015 models will get the nougat update soon this month ? Praveen M: I see that you are referring to update for J7. You: I'm currently have the SM-J700T1, the model made after a year manufactured on May, 2016, the original J7 2015 was release on June, 2015 Praveen M: I appreciate your initiative in trying to keep your phone updated with the latest software. However, I would like to inform you that we will always ensure that the updates we are releasing are working perfectly with all the carriers. Hence we will make some updates available for a few customers and testers. Once we get a token of approval from them, we will push the updates to the carriers. Once the carriers have received those updates, they will add some security features from their end and then make it available to their customers. This is why you would not have received the latest update yet and that is why we can not always pin point about the exact date of release of update for an individual customer. You: I read this amoung the GSM Arena community and confused on this matter, since my model is only made last year, but it falls under the J7 2015 model line-up and yet you have not yet stated a definitive answer on my original inquiry ..... You: Will Samsung update the J7 2015 to Nougat ? Praveen M: Yes, Samsung will update the J7 to nougat. Once it is released, you will get a OTA(update notification to Phone, so that you can update the Phone) Praveen M: We are unable to speculate when/if this software revision might be available due to the fact that this might lead to inaccurate information and confusion. Should this become available, it will be notified to Phone and you can reach the Best But store to update it as well. It is a free service.

  • I think its safe to say, if my Galaxy J7 2015 doesn't get the Nougat, a phone that btw can CLEARLY support the OS I will go to Apple. I cannot stand the Samsung support policy its crap..

  • Why the hell would you wanna go back to Lollipop?!?

  • Hi there Adrian can you please post a schreenshot of your chat with the Samsung Developer team member? Thank you.

  • Ok tell me how can i get my lolliop stock firmware back

  • just chatted with a member of Samsung software developer team he said there will be no nought for any 15 variant phone. coz now Android 8.0 is out and there team are working on it.

  • What to do when my pictures are coming out dark.

  • Try a factory reset again. I m having no problems since the last year's MM

  • The original stock firmware works fine and after updating the software to marshmallow , the internal storage is reduced from 11.6 gb to 10.3 gb and the phone lags alot.....

  • Right...Samsung needs a lesson now.

  • Seriously? Every 1 wants nougat and here you re claiming you want lollipop. Do a factory reset you re ph would be fine

  • You are better off waiting for the upcoming Nougat update - better battery and memory management.

  • How can i get android lollipop as i am facing issues like battery drainage , lagginess and the internal storage is also reduced when i updated my device to android marshmallow please help me friends i want lollipop back...... i am worried and everytime i flash my device with lollipop firmware through odin .... the odin fails all the time.... i am worried i want lolliop back

  • Galaxy A3,A5,A7,A9 pro,Galaxy On8. These were the devices which got the nougat. Not sure about j7 2015. As in the state of current scenario,Doubtful.

  • Bro. Which model????

  • did they mentioned any model number ??

  • I chatted with Samsung and they said that they had done the work on nouget for j7 2015 and they will start rolling the update in our phone soon. We have to wait for sometime and as another team will developer team will roll out the update.😀😁

  • So that's it. I guess No nougat for j7 2015,sad to see a pretty good phone in vain without the updated version. Maybe get a new device in a few months time. No point on researching it,they never gonna bring us nougat (

  • Like I said before - the J700P and T/1 both comes with 2Gb of RAM and both made in the year 2016.

  • A very nice phone but needs LTE and os7 to fullfil and compete with latest phone globally. Thank you Samsung

  • I don't think samsung will provide naugat to j7 2015. Anyway nokia is back. Next time will go for nokia...

  • This seems some misery. No variant of j7 which has 1.5 gb ram havent got the wi fi certification. What say ppl?

  • J700p ? Same as 1.5 gigs of ram? Or else 2 gb?

  • the Samsung J7 can work really good my dad has had it for years and nothing has happened to it, it is great at holding up and working for a long period of time

  • But It doesnt show the android version it is but we could assume that is going to be nougat. Lets see when we said to get it. Hopefully soon

  • This is my own analysis - based on WiFi certification patterns, it looks like Nougat may be released to J7 2015 sometime next month .... Take a look at this link and you decide.

  • It's 12 September .. Still nothing. :( they just lost a customer.

  • SAMSUNG galaxy J700F update nougat india??

  • Now he is speaking up. First you hav to be specific about what youre conveying,ppl hav been waiting months for nougat,and u suddenly came up one day and started a belief that the j7 started getting the nougat. So be specific the next time u say things✌

  • *talking

  • He is taking about the 2016 variant. Mad as hell

  • Guys - The nougat update released to russia is for the J7 2016 .... Check Sammobile

  • I guess he is on the wrong end. He is taking about 2016 version i guess

  • What does that even mean??? Are u talking about j7 2015??? Please reply

  • is this really true plz reply

  • Nothing in sammobiles yet. Which one youre currently having 2015 or 2016? And also the model no?

  • The reason behind it is you bought it so late so thet started to ship with 6.0 inbuild. I bought it around sept 2015

  • What r u evwn talking about? Write what u mean

  • Just now received nougat update in Russia around 1030.79mb Download started and waiting to see the new UI. Thanks Samsung. As usual j7 2016 got nougat in Russia first and follwed by india...Same will applicable for j7 also...

  • When i bought my j7 2015 in november 2016 it was preloaded with marshmallow..why is that?

  • Well that sums it up. N is buried for j7 2015

  • A new version of this phone has been released in Asia called J7 Core. Exactly the same phone but memory now 2Gb to be able to run Nougat...Best phone for so little money...Of course if u have the money J7 Pro is the best.

  • If Samsung doesn't give my J7 2015 the Nougat 7.0 update, I will never buy another Samsung phone again.

  • We cant do much with causing attention since it is 2 and half year old device. Tbh they would not consider paying attention to a 2 yr old mid range phone. Patience is needed guys. We would recieve it if its meant to. So its nothing ✌ just some more days atleast we could get an information about it or atleast a yes or no

  • It is that oreo has launched... android p is in the making....and we all are waiting for NOUGAT...ashamed of samsung.....i think j7 2015 models with 2 gigs of ram will be getting in november(probably)....samsung live chat is a useless thing....only they can say is 'we cannot say anything now. If the update is there you will be notified.. a different team is working on this' they say only these lines... samsung probably wants to make us buy their new phones...

  • We should talk more on this so that it gets the level of attention it needs .. I'm still waiting for the Nougat update on my J700T1, when it was WiFi certified for Nougat last Aug.24.

  • Hey nico.ph - You and me both waiting for Nougat? FYI, remove your SIM card and just connect to WiFi, and manually download software updates when it does come. This is tech-tip from my contact here from Ss development, as I left MetroPCS after 4 months and got on board to a cheaper carrier - saving me 20 bucks /month. Cheers!

  • We should talk more on this so that it gets the level of attention it needs .. I'm still waiting for the Nougat update on my J700T1, when it was WiFi certified for Nougat last Aug.24.

  • Hey, I am in the right forum for J7 2015 ... but you fail to understand that Samsung seems to just release Nougat update on phones made last year. Lucky are those people who got the J7 2015 T & P variants - as they got the WiFi Certification recently to receive Nougat update.

  • These samsung guys are making us to know all the basic stuff. Patience guys,we might get it or not. Rather we could wait for some time. Peace

  • j700T applies for even original samsung j7 2015,just google it...

  • From what I am seeing, J7 phones ( J700T & J700P) made last year are getting certification due to its more current offering and better specs. I checked WiFi Alliance for phones made in 2015 and did not find a phone with Nougat being certified.

  • yes i c call Samsung customer care and they said if one model of j7 (15) get update then all model of j7 (15)get nougat update

  • yes i c call Samsung customer care and they said if one model of j7 (15) get update then all model of j7 (15)get nougat update

  • If the j700M model can get nougat certification than we can expect nougat.. we should wait

  • Yeah hopefully

  • Samsung want us to buy a new samsung phone, that's why they'll never release the nougat for J7 15.

  • Yeah right bro.. but hopefully we will get the Nougat update atleast by november.

  • Guys, please call Samsung customer care number- 1800407267864. And tell them to give our J7 2015 (SM-J700F) the Nougat 7.0 update as soon as possible. Friends, please spread this message to as many J7 users as possible. The more of us call, that much more pressure will be on Samsung team to roll out the update. I have called, now its your turn. Thanks! — Loyal J7 2015 user just like you all.

  • Understood. Ty for explaining

  • The more we take ,the more bleak it gets. Perhaps we shud wait.

  • guys,what about j700h??will it get nougat update??plz do reply

  • These variants: J700T and J700P are both 2GB in RAM, as they were released to US MVNO carriers last year of May 2016. The T variant is better due to Samsung chipset all 8-cores running at the same clocking @ 1.5Ghz, while the Snapdragon 615, even though 8-cores, is set up to run 4-cores @ 1.4Ghz and the other 4-cores @ 1.0 Ghz.

  • Actually - J701M is not J7 Nxt BUT the J7 Neo Duo.

  • J700p? is it the 1.5gb variant or the 2 gb variant like the j700t? I guess the j700p is yet to recieve the wi fi certification. If so pls provide the source.

  • Even if J700P got certified today by the WiFi Alliance, its doubtful it will be rolled out today (Nougat). Just look back to the previously J700T that got the certification ... I'm still waiting for my J700T1 (better variant than the J700T) to get the 1.01 GB Nougat update and still not there,

  • Go and check Wifi alliance you will find that j700p has certified today

  • Hi All - been reading posts here. I've not seen the J700P tested, let alone rolled out to received Nougate update. It's true that the WiFi Alliance have tested J701M, and the J700T models. It's all because both were originally 6.0.1 OS with 2GB RAM out of box. That is there minimum requirement to be sure Nougat update can ran smoothly and enough memory to hold other apps and process when phone is up. My sources at Ss development.

  • news source ??

  • Hey everyone......i currently checked and found that the j700P model has today got the nougat certification from wifi alliance....so that we are seeing all the models(j700m, j700t, j700p) geeting certifications ina row, we can expect j700f model to also get certified .....and today j7 prime got nougat in india....the j7 prime was certified in 8 august....so it took 1 month to get the update....calculation says the nougat for j7 is hopefully coming by october last or november....fingers crossed

  • Yeah absolutely....Ram is independent and nothing to with the android version or an update either.

  • Yeah got the news. Next will be j7 15 hopefully.

  • Prime got nougat today i think j7 15 is next.

  • J701m is j7 nxt.a totally different phone.

  • Yes you are right.ram size is immaterial to size of update.hell..even micromax phones of 1gb ram are running nougat.

  • Just called and they dobt deliver a yes or a no. They just wants us to check regularly

  • Listen everyone, its almost 99% confirmed that our SM-J700F will get the nougat 7.0 update in late September or October. But I request​ all of you to call Samsung customer care number—1800407267864 and tell them to roll out the Nougat update to J7 2015 as soon as possible. If all of you call, then it will put pressure on Samsung team and hence we will recieve the Nougat update faster. Please guys its a request.. I have called, now it's your turn. Thanks! — A loyal Galaxy J7 2015 user, just like you all.

  • Who said there is not enough ram for an android update? 1.5 gb ram could hold the nougat update if its 900 mb or 1 gb.

  • Nougat can be used on 1 gb ram also

  • Hi. What can i do cus Android OS is using to much background data this started after updating to marshmallow. I chated to sumsung and they told me i should take the phone to a Samsung centre cos the software must be reloaded. Is there any solution you guys can give me...

  • Lets just wait and pretend that we ll get it probably. Since it is popular device we might get it or there is a custom rom which seems to be very stable. But wait some time for the official release if its meant to happen.

  • Yea i do understand. But the point is they are still in sale.

  • Aryan - You seemed to nail it .... so far, only J7 2015 J700T/T1 and J701M have been tested running Nougat by the WiFi Alliance. - as these 2 models meet the minimum requirement to receive Nougat update. The 7.0.1 Nougat update size = 1.01 Gb in size - which means the phone needs at least 2GB of RAM to be able to receive and and process the updates.

  • Actually, just to correctly inform you - the Galaxy J series are categories as 'mid-range' phones. J3 is built on a 5.0"-inch screen, the J5 is set on 5.2" inch screen, while the J7 is designed to have the 5.5"-inch - not including here is the latest J7 Max, which has the biggest screen of all; 5.7-inch. If high-end Galaxy S (flagship phones) series, is too much within reach, Samsung answer is the J7 series with different flavors. In my opinion, the J7+ is by far the best upper-midrange phone with premium features and specs, without breaking a very deep hole in your wallet. Cheers All !

  • To sum it up, and in other words - the WiFi Alliance that tested J700T/T1 and J701M are in fact ' out-of-the-box' Marshmallow OS with 2GB of RAM as the minimum requirement to receive 7.0 Nougat update. If your J7 2015 does not fall into these min criteria, then there' a good chance it will not get nougate update. Samsung has a maximum of up to 2 yrs to update OS on devices with at least those specs.

  • Believe me.....when i saw the turkey roadmap in february there was j7 2015 in the list...i was very happy..but the disappointment started in july when samsung threw out j7 from the list.....but after seeing those wifi certifications there was still a hope...but now i think that if there is an update its only for the j700t and j700m....so there's no news for j700f ....because this model has not even gotten certification for nougat..and brands only update certified devices....nothing to do but wait only...

  • For each and every mobile or a variant they cannot give you a confirmation. Understand that it is not a matter of making a confusion,samsung cannot make assurance about their update or give you confirmation. To conclude there is nothing about this conversation.

  • hi friends don't waste your time in doing research regarding nougat update. just now had another chat session with samsung india support. as always they initially said they are working on nougat for us currently. but here is the final conversation... Me : Can i believe Samsung will surely give me nougat? They : I would like to inform you that another team is in charge of this that is developer team they first inspect the device whether it is compatible or not with new update after that they launch the update Me: Have they inspected the device? what is the result from them? Is my device compatible for nougat? They: Sir, I would request you to kindly enable auto update on your device. Whenever update will be available then surely you will get it in notification panel of your device. Here one can clearly understand that they are trying to be in the safer side. They have succeeded in keeping us confused all the time.

  • I will never buy samsung mobiles. I will prefer stock android from now onwards.

  • "Thanks for waiting, the current information is that the Android 7.0 Nougat will be available in November". Thats a response from Samsung chat representative when asked about J7 2015.

  • So what you re conveying here? That we may get Nougat?

  • The reason being J7 2015 got considered getting the Nougat update is due to the caveat that SamSung released another version on 2016, - " J700T/T1 ". As these were manufactured in May, 2016, released a month or so after. Out of the box, already running 6.0.1 Marshmallow, comes with the 2GB of RAM, Samsung octo-core chipset @ 1.5Ghz, NFC, and fingerprint on home button. I think Samsung should have made the J7 2015 with these specs from the onset instead of the lesser offering - Snapdragon 615, 1.4 Ghz on 4 cores, 1.0Ghz on the other 4, and 5.1.1 lollipop OS.

  • Fine✌ I guess we shud wait a month or so.

  • At first the agent confirmed that the update is on its way to be released... but now another one is telling that it is in making......we have to wait ....they will send me email when the update is out...but yes they confirmed that the device is surely getting the nougat...........and one thing i want to say is that i think..we all know samsung approximately releases update every three months...as the j7 2015 have already got the august patch....we have to wait till september last or october.......

  • When will they release noughat update guys?

  • What agent? Come on buddy, atleast some news or something might have dropped

  • Hey a agent from live that yold me that they have already released the nougat for j7 2015.... we have to wait a little bit

  • Patience guys. To be frank it is a more than 2 yr model. We ll 'll be lucky if samsung gives us N.

  • Samsung j7 2015 is the starter of J series but still no Nougat Update . It's really shamefull

  • J7 2016 today got the update...but there is no news for j7 2015......what a shamesung

  • Fyi,Samsung does not provide a specific confirmation or a date or anything about the software update. Ota carriers vary from every country so samsung are not obliged to make amends or assure a sw update. So the update is neither confirmed nor leaked. Based on the rumours i still hope we ll get the android 7.0. And BTW whats the nickname is all about.??

  • Hello all users of J7 2015. I am not going to spread any kind of fake news. Today i had a chat session with Samsung helpline. They have no info about the Nougat Update for the J7 2015. It may be a Yes, May be a No. Dont Dream like our device is going to get update in this month. A solution for this is we have to Install Ported Nougat ROM from here. I will be doing so if Samsung wont provide the Update. Let me throw a link for the Nougat Ported ROM from A5 2016

  • Am talking about the security patch

  • Absolutely. Plus battery backup is growing worse after each software update. I don't know why Samsung is doing this.

  • Playstore has been sucking some life of the smartphone recently. To OP, I see the ram management kinda weird and slow running while managing different set of apps. I do feel that the ph is slow after the august security patch.

  • To be honest,that is a T-mobile variant which came with marshmallow out of the box,whick packs with 2 gigs of ram comparing to the other variants which has 1.5 gb ram. Since the device is still sold across india and some other countries with 1.5 gb spec, we can highly hope or anticipate getting 7.0. samsung cannot skip or cancel the nougat to j7 2015

  • Actually, its not .... the latest news is that it was being tested last month for J700T, the last version of the J7 2015 - where it has the better specs among the other 2015 version. See latest news:

  • guru_dd - what are you talking about ??? Are you referring to a 6.0.1 update?

  • Ram management has gone bad after the last 55mb update. Anyone facing the issue here?

  • There is no specific time. Maybe within a month

  • When it's get Android Nougat.please tell me.

  • Thats great. Waiting for the nougat launch!

  • Only post about android n.. Hope it is better optimised when runs.. Ui doesnt matter we have launchers for that..

  • No,N is officially confirmed by samsung for samsung j7 2015,its gonna be its last update from samsung j7 2015's career..

  • I think N is still in question for j7 2015

  • Jelican - It's very obvious that the O update only applies to 2016+ models, so I would'nt not be hopeful on getting it on a J7-2015 based model. On the other hand, J7 made in 2016, have a good chance of getting it.!

  • Turkey removed in Android 8.0 update list :(

  • Jay - tangalin mo SIM card, at power-up , connect to WiFi - and wait little while - manual software update mo, it should connect to Samsung and let you have 6.0.1 Marshmallow update. What model do u have ba?

  • For ur kind information J7 wont get s8 ui @Aryan342

  • In Philippines still Lollipop, no update.

  • My brother just bought the j7 nxt...the new nougat ui in that phone is awesome.....i was amazed by the speed and new features.....hopefully j7 2015 will also get those features and the s8 ui.....fingers crossed

  • I just talked with samsung support by live chat.... they confirmed that galaxy j7 2015 will be getting the nouat....but they told that we have to wait a little bit of time....hopefully we will get by last of september

  • Model J700M here (bought from Movistar telco in 2016, Peru, South America). Came with Lollipop, automatically updated to Marshmallow several months ago. Manually checked for the update and... no Nougat for me today. Patience and good mood...

  • How can i activate lte

  • What about j700h?

  • How can I activate Google assistant on samsung galaxy j7 2015 ? I tried everything from beta to clear data still no luck....

  • There is nothing to be taken granted for. Android updates are known to be slower and samsung are mighty slow in pushing nougat,lets just wait for any news that would be considered legit (from sammobiles).As far i can say in 2 weeks time maybe we can get N

  • August 28, 31, and Sept 1 went by ..... still nothin .... what give samsung???

  • I also chatted with samsung live They said nougat update will be out But they do not release list of devices which will be updated when.. just told me to turn auto update on..

  • Any1 who got any news about the nougat rollout? For j7 2015?

  • I had a live chat with Samsung about getting nougat updt on j700F model...they said very soon they will bring out thr updt...and said just to keep patience for a while and then we will tasting nougat...They also said they are updting devices manually...so maybe we will get updt within this month of sept

  • Agreed. I see ppl posting about j7 2016. Post an update who has got the nougat for j7 2015 When it actually arrives.

  • Stop posting about j7 2016.. If u get n update on j7 2015 then only post here..

  • Samsung is good phone,but can somebody advise me on how to unlock the phone which dends that I use privacy protection password?

  • Hope so ...

  • It seems the 2016 variant has been reaching The Nougat. So we could see it reaching in a few weeks time for the 2015 variant. Fingers crossed✌

  • yes,its official now,j7 2015 is getting N soon..

  • So we can expect to get N for the 2015 version.

  • Happening now in Europe .....

  • sencer activation

  • VERY SOON / ANYTIME now ....

  • me too dude,been waiting so eager for N,hope samsung doesnt dissapoint us..

  • I am also waiting for N update

  • Waiting for nougat update... Is there hv any nougat update users (J700F)

  • In Russia or India

  • The 2016 variant has got the N. We ll see how it goes for j7 2015

  • how is the nougat experience so far?

  • got nougat for j7 2016 today suerly j7 2015 will also get within a week

  • Camera updated in this update.marked difference

  • Hope so...exactly same they talk with me..finger crossed.

  • Whatever the model number it is but its the original j7 model.Also i talk with samsung care on chat.they said j7 2015 model get nougat update but did not say specific date.

  • Friends don't loose hope. Just now had a live chat session with Samsung India Support. They are sure that we (j7 2015) will get nougat update soon. They added that their team is working for us. I mentioned my model no during query. My model no is j700f

  • Maynot get..

  • I am facing no problem after this update.

  • again, J700T is just one specific model for tmobile... which was launched late... show me the page with J700F... which is the main international variant of the J7 2015...

  • I got 55 mb update on my phone what is this plz tell me or any problem after this uodate or not

  • Understood! Your point is the ph will not be getting N?

  • Yeah they have given wrong info... j700t is modified version of j700f with 2gb ram ..out of box came with marshmallow..nt lollipop ..jus search in net 'j700t specs ' see other sites...

  • Eat your words ....

  • August 28 - Nougat update ....

  • Above the specs you could see that j700t is in the list in the all versions tab. J7 2015 still have the h/w resources to get N.

  • J700t is a tmobile version contains 2gb ram..different from j7 2015 model...

  • Thats good news. We could see the model no sm-j700t which is the galaxy j7 2015

  • I got the security patch on 18 th of august

  • No August security patch update yet??

  • Good news all j7 2015 users.Recently samsung j7 spotted nougat testing on wifi alliance report according to sammobile website..cheers !

  • To all J7 2015 users who already having a marshmallow update, one question: Is it through Kies (PC) update or through phone update only? Let me know please. Thank you in advance.

  • For your information,the nougat update is neither confirmed nor cancelled. The estimated date is 28th of August this year. But the latest turkey roadmap has the j7 2015 removed from the list The device has the rightful hardware sources to get android N. Lets see whether the device will get 7.0 in a few weeks.

  • Any one got Google assistant or able to activate it? I tried many times almost everything like language, clear data, beta programs... Still unsuccessful... 😪

  • whoever is reading this article and saying nougat is coming to J7 2015, you are totally wrong... just check the model number mentioned... its J701... and J701 is the model number of J7 Nxt launched in India, which is a phone that looks exactly like the J7 2015 and has a few upgraded specs n comes with nougat.... you need to see updates for J700 which doesnt seem to be coming....

  • Done buying into Samsung's cash cow. Bought 6 Samsung's tablets over the years. Three of them were from my mishandled ((looking at it sideways is considered misshandled by Samsung ) but three of them failed just after warranty. If odds serve me right, the ones I trashed was just a matter of time before the cow cashed in. Went to Huawei (according to CNET) with a aluminum case.

  • Before update my phone wwas good but After update samsing galaxy j7 6 I faced many problem such as net connection,application opening... is very slow

  • I cant make or receive whatsapp call on my samsung J7. any help?

  • Hate how i cant turn off the updater on my J7! Every time there is an up date and i agree to it, my phone turns back on with no changes, exept for, DECRECED in BATTERY LIFE, INCREASED in POOR, and SLOWER functionality. So i accidently clicked on (update my phone) after 7 months of avoiding it, and of cource my phone came back on, as a piece of crap! Irritated with every update ive revived! My batter used to last me a full day just listening to the radio, now (starting today) MY BATTERY DOSE NOT REACH HALF DAY! there needs to be a fix for every, and i literally mean every update! A reverse in updates perhaps? Bring back the phone i bought and loved!

  • No

  • What is your phone's model number?

  • I had buy my new samsung j7 mobile in year 2016 . While buying the phone the company give us the one year warranty . But after one year display flickering problem has occure , because of the poor quality of display mechanism used by company . When we visit the samsung custermer shop to share our problem that time they replied that you need to spend 4500 cash to replace your display mechanism ,"with only three months of gaarenty ," after three month you need to again replace the display mechanism . So what we Will do ? We rome every three month or do our business work .

  • Ain't gonna happen

  • Is this device have Gorilla glass or not gyzz can any one tell me..??

  • YES it will !!! Read posts ....

  • YES

  • Hey dont loose hope ..... Read this - Official SAMSUNG Reply: - Will Samsung update the J7 2015 to Nougat ? Praveen M: Yes, Samsung will update the J7 to nougat. Once it is released, you will get a OTA(update notification to Phone, so that you can update the Phone) Praveen M: We are unable to speculate when/if this software revision might be available due to the fact that this might lead to inaccurate information and confusion. Should this become available, it will be notified to Phone and you can reach the Best Buy store to update it as well. It is a free service

  • That question is better answer on the J7 Pro column, not here .... As its obvious this is only for the original J7, and not J7 Pro

  • Does samsung j7 pro have backlit keys?

  • August 28

  • It is made from the turkey roadmap now these device are removed from the turkey roadmap

  • The J7 SM-J701M was released last year around June,2016 for latin america - also called the J7 Neo. It seems that J7 2015 series made on 2016 are capable of getting the Nougat update. Now, it seems SM-J701M are running Nougat ... . I believe the WiFi Alliance on what they report ... have a good feeling its soon to happen for J7 2015 made on 2016, which includes J7 2015 SM-J700T1.

  • Clearly it was shown j701m ..which is not j7 2015...website was wrong...

  • Do u still believe that website??

  • DISREGARD previous post .... its for a J5, not J7. HERE is for J7 official:

  • Latest from SAMSUNG - straight from the 'horses mouth' with GSMARENA confirm on NOV,2017

  • Actually - its refer to as the SM-J700T1, and does exist indeed. It is marketed under TMobile / MetroPCS combo flavors. Look it up as SM-J700T1 = is a 2Gb RAM offering instead of 1.5 of the 2015 model. It was released on May,2016. Though same battery rated @ 3000mAh battery, it offers NFC and OS version 6.0.1 Marshmallow out of the box. Powered by Samsung EXYNOS7580 Octo-core @ 1.5 Ghz chipset. GPU chipset: ARM Mali-T720. Resolution @ 720x1280. Fingerprint - on samsung release key. Lastly the Graphics API = OpenGL ES 3.1 ..... which I am excited to hear that it meets Nougat update requirement. Build: J700T1UVU3AQC3 Lastly - this version came after SM-J700M, as these were all built during 2015, and J700T1 manufactured a year later SO it in sense would be equally qualified or even better than the 700M.

  • No nougat update for J7 2015 , as samsung turkey removed J7 from roadmap. Check 👇

  • And it was j7 2016..

  • U read it properly they mentioned j701m ... not j700f or j700h

  • ALSO This ....

  • Then Read This ....

  • Everything given on the website was not true!!.. from my personal experience. Ive used many galaxy devices so far .. j7 2015 wont get nougat update...

  • 23 aug really??... even j7 2016 dnt even got the nougat update ..hw can u expect 2015 model to get that update

  • Nougate Update !!!! - August.23, 2017

  • Take Note: J7 2015 will definitely get Nougat update....

  • it wont get nougat update..only s,a and note series will get 2 android os updates. even cosider note 4 it has higher specs that j7 still it hvent got nougat update.. probably there is no chance of getting nougat update on j7 2015 model

  • I think if you get get the SM-J701T - its the 'sweet-spot' of all the current J7 models out there from 2015-2017. It truly does exist, I believe it is a 'stop-gap' or a bridge between the 2015 model and the 2016 models. SM-J701T is a 2Gb RAM offering instead of 1.5 of the 2015 model. It offers also a 3000mAh battery, NFC and OS version 6.0.1 Marshmallow SOON to get Nougat update! Powered by Samsung very own EXYNOS7580 chip: Octo-core @ 1.5 Ghz chipset. GPU chipset: ARM Mali-T720. Resolution @ 720x1280. Fingerprint - on samsung release key. Lastly the Graphics API = OpenGL ES 3.1 ..... which I am excited to hear that it meets Nougat update requirement. Build: J700T1UVU3AQC3

  • Me too facing same problem for same model, have you got any solution pls share

  • had purchased a new samsung galaxy j7 in march 2017 but in may 2017 it started giving problem so took it to mobile shop and they said to leave it as they have lots of mobiles with same problem and after few days they said that the motherboard is damaged so will require replacement and cost pkr 13500/- but as had to go outside country and could not get same repair done. anyway it was a very bad experience in purchasing a samsung j7 mobile phone

  • Here is the TURKISH NOUGAT LIST for TURKISH MODELS

  • I am probably gonna stop using samsung phone after this one. because of their overwhelming success they have stopped caring about customers. so its high time to change samy

  • My phone Samsung J7-2016 not showing display which is 11 month old and still under warranty. There is no external/physical damage from outside neither to body or to screen. Authorized Service Centre Manager as well as desk man has prepared job card informing me that it may be damaged from inside so we are unable to take it under warranty. They are not willing to write their assumption on remarks column. Service Centre also told me that if u will not willing to change the parts in that case you have to pay an amount for checking of the handset. I had a talk with customer care but useless.

  • It is not software problem it is hardware problem in most j7.. And if you repair you phone it will again happen

  • why i can't install 6.1 marshmallow in my samsung galaxy j700H , i can't wait to release in my country , j700H is the worst mobile phone ever , they didn't even care there customer's

  • Hi 👋 my j7 when charging sometimes won't charge pass 80% but when i remove the battery and insert it than it shows 100% what's wrong. Is the problem the battery or what

  • go to samsung service centre and this flickering issue can be claimed upon warranty.they will change your screen.then your problem will be solved

  • guys ...dont worry thinking that j7 2015 will not get the nougat updates because of the release of j7 nxt..as the samsung turkey have already confirmed j7 2015 is getting nougat updates in 2017 28 august....as you know j7 2016 was released after j7 2015 ...there was not much difference between them it was little ram and processor and battery difference..but the j7 2015 got marshmallow update wherever samsung maynot provide the marshmallow update to j7 2015 thinking it will drop down the sales of j7 2016 ....so be calm it will get nougat updates surely ...wait till end of this august and see...
