AT&T and T-Mobile distribute battery indicator update for the Galaxy Note 7

Following in Verizon's footsteps, AT&T and T-Mobile have started rolling out a maintenance update for all of their carrier-branded varaints of the Galaxy Note 7 that were purchased and registered in the United States. The upgrade bundles the green battery indicator and recurring safety warnings that we reported on yesterday.

Once installed, the upgrade will turn the battery indicator positioned in the upper-right corner of the display from white to green if the handset is safe and doesn't sport the faulty battery that has reportedly led to over seventy devices catching fire in the United States alone.

The firmware also introduces a recurring safety notification that will appear affected units every time they are powered on or plugged into a wall outlet.

As you’d expect, both operators are distributing this release in stages. If you'd like to see if the OTA is ready for your device, simply head into Settings, select About Device, tap on the heading entitled Software Update, then hit the Download Updates Manually button.
