They roll out updates, area-by-area over a matter of weeks, so if you haven't bothered to check manually and you aren't getting a notice, it's because your area has not received the updates.

Yo Dawg, I heard you wanted to secure your phone with Secure Folder, so we secured your phone by putting Secure Folder on your phone as a security update to better secure your phone, so you can secure your secured phone with Secure Folder...

Just fixes and tweaks. They never tell you what's fixed, though none of the issues I have had with Oreo have been fixed in recent updates, other than the video player crashing problem.

I just deleted the app since it wouldn't behave itself. It's not like I actually use Google's photo backup anyway, so it won't be missed.

AT&T put out a security update yesterday. Still no fixes for the core ROM defects that came with 8.0's upgrade.

The S7 Active update ROM for Oreo is botched. They obviously failed to fully test it before sending it out, which is why certain system functions and buttons don't work. The fixes can only be made via another OTA update and AT&T is just now learning about whatever problems there are with the...

One more annoying bonus I just got was a nice shock through my clothes courtesy of Fast Charging, which is automatically enabled by default in the new update. I had been charging the phone with FC on and then disconnected it after it was done and put it in my pants pocket about ten minutes...

I bit the bullet and set up Walmart Pay because I couldn't get Samsung Pay to work at Walmart most of the time. It's easy peasy and better because you don't have to worry about receipts since they are stored digitally, making returns relatively painless and simple. I use SP so many other places...

I got Samsung Pay to work twice at local Sunoco's which have upgraded their pumps with contactless pay, but I have not gotten it to work at those locations since those two times and they seem to not recognize SP, despite the contactless pay receiver being active.

I've been using it for a few days. I got lower battery life, the updated camera app is faulty and doesn't recognize the Active Button like the previous versions, the Active Button now has additional functionality that is annoying as **** and should be disabled, and there's some weirdness with...

It no longer works at the nearest store. I get nothing but errors with the terminal when I try to use it in self-checkout and regular lines.

I was unable to use it at the non-self-checkout line yesterday. I will test the self-checkout tomorrow.

I went back to the Dominos and it was not declined like it was through NFC, though I had to find the sweet spot to use MST. The new terminals they installed recently are not the ones commonly used by most retailers, so the ergonomics and design are chunkier and the slots are deeper, which makes...

I tried it at the nearest Dominos last week. It didn't work, even though Samsung says Dominos will take Samsung Pay.

Got it to work at a Super WalMart the other day. Big transaction too. Still haven't gotten it to work at the store near my house, though.
