  1. Encounter problem in my samsung j7 pro after updating to oreo, touchscreen is not working. Coudnt downgrade to nougat says it is binary 5.

  2. According to Samsung’s notice inside Samsung Members app, Galaxy J7 2016 will have the Oreo update approximately on March ’19. And it shows there all the list of phone that has and will receive the Oreo update.

  3. My J7 sky pro SM-S737TL on Simple Mobile (T-Mobile network) was upgraded to 8.1.0 on sept 17,
    No reset required, just reboot. Seems to work well, but maybe faster battery drain.
    Note this upgrade was OTA but I did have to “check for update” to get it.

  4. My Samsung galaxy j7 sky pro sm_s727vl trcfone str8 talk. It gets nothing ever no upgrades nothing . So what it’s pre paid it’s all I can afford. Samsung puts me in a category like in the old days get to the back of the bus kinda days. I still pay every month on time for yrs. I can’t even get out of marshmallow. It’s sad. Even my phone source thinks my money is no good here.😂 Story of my life
