No sync issues

I updated to B6. So far so good.

Will make a more detailed judgement after a week.

Is anyone not able to sync basically any data? I stopped receiving emails suddenly and I removed my google account and added it again to try and kick the account sync into action, but that just ended up removing all my data saved to that account (contacts, calendar, etc.) and then didn't sync to restore them. Under the "More information" tab in my samsung cloud sync settings it says "The data that you can sync may differ based on your phone or system software" which makes me things it might be something in the new update messing with it.

I haven't had any sync issues either. Not much help, I know.

It's been a few days since updating to Beta 6 and now that the battery life has sort of settled down, I'm not completely satisfied. Hopefully Samsung has a few tweaks for it's release version because battery life has just been okay. Yesterday I got about 4 hours of SOT with normal usage over 17 hours. That's still better than earlier Betas but not on par with Nougat.

WOW...just got a notice for beta 7. Downloading now. It's a small one...137.34MB

 

[pankaj981]

Yep. This might be the final build

Agree

Ooohhhh a new build. I'm going to grab it right now.

Edit: This update used up a lot of battery as well.

Would like to see the battery life improve. It's been pretty dismal.

Sorry about your experience. My battery life has been pretty fantastic.

 

[pankaj981]

Mine has been decent, not as good as stock Nougat. I'm really hoping this build improves battery life as it's listed as one of the fixes in the change log. Also performance is buttery smooth, I would consider it on par or better than the Note 8.

Clean install. After beta ohase it may be what doctor ordered to cure it.

Mine seems to be running nicely too. My battery life has improved a bit. Looking good so far.

Standby battery was crazy good last night. Will see how it does at work today. Smooth....

Agree performance flows like silk. No lag whatsoever for me.

Update patch just small bug fix, stability improvements type.

 

[pankaj981]

How's the battery consumption on the latest beta? Mine more or less is on par with the stable build.

 

[tube517]

B7 is good so far. No lag and great battery life.

I didn't like B6 (battery life decreased for me)

 

[gendo667]

Absolutely no issues. Battery life it's great and my S8 is super snappy. Cheers.
