Recent Oreo Update has turned my Sprint Note 8 to crap

[dre22era]

I am beyond frustrated.
My Note 8 was working perfectly fine until the update
Now I experience extreme delayed notifications in regards to outlook emails and text.
My phone will literally randomly go crazy finally alerting me of notifications all at the same time. I have my work email linked to my phone. I missed an important email notification this past Friday. It wasn't until I woke up the phone that I noticed an email was sent to me 15 minutes ago.
I drive a 2016 Chevy Equinox and had no Bluetooth issues until the update. Now my Bluetooth will not successfully auto connect anymore. It will say its connected but no music plays even though it shows it playing on the phone. I have to manually disconnect and reconnect for it to work.
Also when I receive calls answering my phone I hear no one talking to me even though the caller can her me. Happens all the time now in which I have to hang u and call them back.
I have rebooted my phone to avail and also ran the phone maintenance to no avail even though it says my phone performance is fine.
Damn this update
If it aint broke don't fix it. This is BS

Your next day off, find a comfortable chair and do the fun FDR, and hope that fixes your issues. The good thing though according to a lot of people, your the minority, most have zero issues. Sucks to be in the minority, don't it. I had to do the FDR myself, so far no issues, but it's only been a week. Good luck

Do a hard reset. Try the Bluetooth. Does it work? Install an app. Does the Bluetooth still work? Rinse and repeat.

Ran a hard factory reset last night
And just now my Note 8 just alerted me of a text message sent to me over an hour ago.

If it keeps doing it I would be worried .. One time? Ehh I could blame the network.

How could Oreo delay your txt??? Seems like a network issue.

 

[Mr-Guy]

a delayed text isn't the phone.

Do you still have Bluetooth issues after the hard reset? If so, the issue might have been the item you were trying to connect TO with the phone, so try it with something else over Bluetooth. Either way, FIRST, is the Bluetooth issue gone? And with regards to the notifications - are they ALL delayed?

Actually the oreo update could cause that. The radio could be fubar.

 

[dre22era]

Not a network issue I am at home on wifi
My phone have been lagging overall in regards to any notifications whether it be my outlook emails, text, facebook or whatever. The phone literally goes to sleep when idle and will either randomly wake up going crazy with multiple notifications at the same time or it will do that when I wake it up.
I haven't tested the bluetooth yet since the reset. 1 phone call and that worked.

Let's see the reply. It could also be a hardware issue exposed by the firmware update...

Text notifications would still come over your phone carriers network while you use wifi, no? In any event if you still have those issues I would say it's a hardware issue...

But txt doesn't use WiFi, it uses the phone network.
Anyway, seems like you have some issues there. Maybe get over to your carrier and have it addressed. Yours is not typical of Oreo. Best of luck.

It still has to go through the Sprint network if you are talking about a text so it very well could be a network issue.

Double check your do not disturb settings. Turn them in and off a couple of times and reset them to a schedule and reboot, then get rid if the schedule etc... Maybe that will help, there could be a hiccup there - ?

Also make sure you don't have Data Saver turned on.

True, but that means it could be for all devices having an issue. My wife has not had one issue with the oreo update on her N8. Me I got bugs all over the place in mine.

My carrier is Verizon and I have the 256GB Samsung card in it. Tons of software installed and working great. It could be related to carrier software (baked into the firmware) that was not thoroughly tested. What carriers do you and your wife have? Differences in software installed?

It could be related to carrier software

sprint is well-known for its crapware-baked, poorly tested updates

So maybe just disable all the carrier firmware to see what results...
