Not that I'm about to go back to marshmallow, but I'm wondering if there is a way to go back, will a reflash with Android 6 work? Will it wipe the phone?

Yes, reflashing with ODIN will certainly work. It will wipe the phone (and it is totally risky!)

I've flashed a S7 from Android 6.0 (Verizon) to 7.0 (T-MOBILE),  will this be more risky

I'm not sure what you mean by flashing (there are some things you can do via custom recovery etc.). But this is a reflash of the whole stock firmware, and it isn't riskier (but one succes doen't make it that less risky...reflashing with ODIN has the potential to totally brick your phone) than any usual stock reflash (though you'll probably have less resources with informaition since it's a new thing.)

Any recommendations for a good weather widget on my home screen?
I always had the Accuweather widget which was fine, but since the upgrade I get a notification at least once an hour that "1 app is draining my battery" and its accuweather.
I cant figure out how to shut off this notification.

When you long press the notification and click the exclamation mark there, what app name does it say and can you block its notifications there?

Look. A 128gb micro SD card from the reputable brands just does not cost that cheap! So you can think in two directions... Or it is a moron selling stolen stuff and you are getting a steal, or it is not really from that brand just cheap China stuff. Given that the seller has only 7 feedbacks total I'd say it's the letter...

Does anyone know when the s7 will be discontinued on Verizon as I prefer the s7 over the s8 but I am not ready to spend money on a new phone?

Anyone else feel like the battery drains much quicker on the new update? I'm definitely having that happen to me.
I'm having the same problem. Phone also occasionally freezes up.

How do I go back?

Now for some reason Waze won't open, keeps crashing. At the same time many people telling me they can't hear me when talking on the phone. Anyone else having these problems or ideas how to fix it?
