Re: Android 8.0 Oreo beta for Galaxy S8 - Unlocked, Sprint & T-Mobile only.

is the unlocked rom also in the beta or I have to revert back to TMobile?

It's supposed to be available for unlocked devices but I haven't had any luck so far. I updated the Samsung Plus app but still haven't gotten a registration notice.

Pfft...I still haven't received an update since Aug
Interested in seeing how Oreo does on the phone...reports are it's a little faster/smoother though I can't say that I've noticed it being slow at all and I recently came over from an iP7+

Also curious if there are any conflicts with Nova Launcher and TeslaUnread.

can someone let me know if battery takes a hit or gets improved?

that's the only thing I'm worried about before I sign up for the beta cause my battery life as of now is great (regular S8 constantly getting 4+ hours screen on time)

Got the notice in the members app (uk) and updated. All seems smooth, hoping it stays that way.

I got the invite to register for the Beta but I'm getting this message as the phone was bought in UK but I live in Argentina and use a local sim card now. I initially activated it with a UK sim card no problem. I'm wondering if it will let me in if I put the UK sim card in temporarily.

Got the message to enroll in beta, which I did, from Samsung + app. Not sure what comes next. S8 unlocked 950U1

After you enroll, give it a 10 minutes or so, then reboot your phone. Go to Settings / Software Update and do a manual check. It will then start downloading a 1309.56MB package. Good luck! I'm downloading now...
