Oreo 8 rolling out now, just got it

[filanto]

anyone having trouble with S8 Verizon update? I haven't taken the plunge yet but it's available to me. I am also using nova launcher.

Only issue I had was I waited till 11:15 pm and no update until this morning. Oh I get up at 4:30 am. I'm loving it so far

I personally absolutely HATE the notifications in Oreo. See my other thread. I'm strongly considering reverting back to Nougat because of this. Very irritated with all the persistent, nonsensical notifications that you can't swipe away, you can only snooze them. Absolutely ludicrous.

Anyone factory resetting after the install?

My wife's S8+ T-Mobile still on Nougat is getting the Oreo (1.5+ GB) update now.

My S8+ T-Mobile on Beta Oreo is getting a 350+ MB update now.

I am planning to do a factory reset post install. I've had my S8 since Mid October. I periodically reset my Android devices and now is as good a time as any.

Just got Oreo on Sprint in Massachusetts.

Looks like I got the official version. I no longer see the "Beta software" notification when rebooting the phone

I carry two S8+ phones. My Verizon updated yesterday. My Sprint just minutes ago (3-17-18 at 10:20am EDT).

No problems with either.

Unlocked US S8: nothing. Way to service your direct customers, Samsung. Not.

I like it so far. Definitely more responsive, and I'm already noticing a difference with battery life, though time will tell.

However, I do not like the persistent notification I'm getting while running swipe navigation. Any ideas how to turn this notification off without turning off the ability for this to be active over other apps? I never had this issue on nougat. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Glad you're liking Oreo, it's the version of Android that brought me back to the platform.

Swipe the notification and you'll see a cog that allows you to adjust the settings for that notification including turning it off altogether. Not all notifications let you turn them off though and some allow you to turn off certain notifications and leave others enabled.
