Android 8.0 Oreo beta for Galaxy S8 - Unlocked (UK) Sprint & T-Mobile (US) only.

I'm trying to hold off on that if I can. I did wipe the cache partition through recovery though.

I thought about it for a while before doing it, but figured "what's the harm..."

I’m in the uk but have a US unlocked S8+

No idea how that is going to work!

I'm in Arg with an unlocked UK S8 so will try my O2 UK sim later and see what happens.

Sorry to say but it's only for T-Mo, Verizon and unlocked devices. I have no idea why that is though.

I am on an unlocked device.

I enrolled and downloaded the update but I'm going to wait a day or two to see what shakes out. I just got the darn thing set up like I like it. I'd hate to mess it up so fast

Was there always an option for 18.5:9 ratio available for the rear camera? I wish there was a full listing of what was updated.

Samsung Health is giving me heartburn as well. I get a notification that its running in the background but I can't swipe the notification away and the app is already being optimized battery wise. I ended up uninstalling it.

I'm having this same issue. Can't find how to solve it and don't want to uninstall...

@Mr_Spencer
I have not yet updated and I have those same choices.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled it three times and finally gave up. Another thing I noticed is that you can't pause Steps. I only used Samsung Health for the heart rate monitor and really don't want it doing all kinds of extra stuff.

Got the notification to stop for running apps. Used method 2.

Yes that option was always there

 

[Mr_Spencer]

Yes that option was always there

I never noticed it, so wasn't sure if it was previously or post update. Thanks though.

Love the updated keyboard so far. Been using G board the past month.

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

installed and working here. first impressions are good. swiftkey the only app that doesn't work yet as far as I can see.

I actually had to boot in safe mode because the keyboard wouldn't come up when the phone booted up and required my password.

That was a frustrating start. But other than that so far so good.

Two annoying things of the gate (S8+ on Sprint): #1 : Persistent notification of Mobile Installer (I gather this is Sprint's updater of some sort) and accompanying background app notification. #2 Notification that SD card is installed on each reboot. Why?

I noticed that for a second when I updated. Did u try pressing the notification? When I did it the notice popped up saying thanks for installing and then went away.

Mobile installer notification does nothing when I press it. Notification telling me that Mobile Installer is running in the background just takes me to the app settings page where I can force stop, etc. SD Card notification can be swiped away. When pressed, it just takes you to the SD card to see the files.

I can get rid of the notifications by force stopping Mobile Installer and swiping away the SD card notification. But when I reboot, they are back. Makes me think they are trying to do something, but I don't know what.

Keep getting this everytime I go to messages.

Kind of weird that it only has September security patch.

I am noticing since hiccups while multitasking. Just some choppy transitions. Really the only thing I've notice.
