Verizon's role out of Oreo absolutely sucks!
The WIFI network signal is weaker for one thing. The buffer seems F%^&ed up as I have to reboot to get wifi to connect.
And it constantly reboots while simply looking at a photo.
I've gone through all the factory reset steps, inc. clearing all cache, etc.
Why can't I just do a back-rev?
Marshmallow worked flawlessly for a year and a half.
An update that works would be grand.
Because of the issues Nougat caused S7 users, I delayed the update so long that the update notifications stopped. I'm still using Marshmallow. Other than some excessive battery usage, I'm having no problems with my S7, which is now over two years old.
KENTEK3141, we want you to have the data speeds that you need. Let's work to get to the bottom of this. Other than the software update do you recall adding any new apps or games? You mentioned rebooting to have Wi-Fi connect, what type of device are you connecting with? Which plan do you currently have?

I am pretty sure I fixed it.
Removed SD card to save photo data and got an error during the copy process. So, after copying photos reformatted SD card and reinstalled in S7e.
Did reboot. No crashes so far. And WiFi performance seems to have been restored.
Question: Why did SD card get corrupted?

That is great news KENTEK3141 and I am glad to hear that you have not run into any additional issues so far. It could have been something where something in the update caused the card to not function properly. Usually, it could be from physical damage or it could be software related and we never really get to the root cause. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and definitely want to be alerted if anything happens again.

I have the same problem that all these previous poster have... Additionally, I use my phone for business and travel to Canada almost weekly. Since the OREO update, I have had to reboot my phone daily to get the data and voice to function. I am shocked that this OREO update made it out of testing... And yes.. I have contacted tech support.. Their answer was to reboot my phone as needed to maintain a data/voice connection.
Oreo should NOT have made it out of testing without fixing all the major issues it contains. This is a major Android/Google/VZW foul up!!
Now to mention Bluetooth problems again, half of BT devices not working properly or at all after Oreo update. I use Bluetiger Elite headphone for a few hours everyday,now after this update it's useless to me. Fortunately I have Tablet and when Internet is available I talk using Viber, but can't stress enough how inconvenient this is, basic phone function not working. But I got cool battery optimization, yuhuu, other than that haven't noticed any improvements,that would make this update worthwhile .
