Go to "Settings" - "Lock screen and protection" - "Find my phone" and turn off "Activation Lock" Before and after the firmware update procedure, you must do a general reset of the device to factory settings in order to avoid all sorts of errors and slowdowns of the interface.

Review Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) SM-J710F

The smartphone was liked primarily by its autonomy, performance, but at the same time the case is rather slippery and it is inconvenient. For example, in terms of battery life: 2 days of using the phone (connection, Wi-Fi, games, some gps, a lot of social networks and forums) and there are still 19% left. It also happens that it slows down a little, a little bit (perhaps because of the tachwiz). The case is not a monolith, there are no creaks, but it does not reach the feeling of monolithic iPhone. If you look closely, you can see the pixels (well, it's understandable, because the resolution is not extremely high). Such another moment, in auto mode, the connection is constantly interrupted, it is better to choose 3G / 2G. As you understand, 4G does not always catch.
