It seems fairly stable to me so far. I really haven't encountered much in the way of issues. Nine still crashes on occasion and still acts a bit flakey once in a while but that's about all I've noticed.

Feels very stable to me. I'm having an issue with SwiftKey themes, but nothing else. Mostly have forgotten its even on a Beta.

This. Honestly, it was pretty smooth in the beginning. For me at least. And it's only gotten better. I know some have had issues, but my experience has been fantastic.

Yeah so far it has been pretty smooth for me. I did perform a cache wipe after the update. One thing I noticed, incoming WhatsApp calls don't light up the screen anymore, same as Skype but it does show an incoming call notification on the AOD screen. Not sure if it's an Oreo thing. I might have to look it up on that. Outside of that, everything has been good. And yes, the modified Gcam works a lot better on Oreo, including portrait mode. Hopefully Samsung will include something similar in the final release.

That's a good way to describe it. That's how it seems to me as well.

I uninstalled then reinstalled SwiftKey and was able to download a theme rather than just using the 2 defaults. This was a theme I've used before. When I tried downloading one that was new for me, it crashed. I re-downloaded the one I've used previously and it's fine. Weird.
At least I've got the one I want though.

Only other complain I have is the additional battery consumption. Yesterday was my second day with beta 4 and battery life is slightly reduced compared to the stable December build. It's definitely not as bad as the earlier Betas but it's surely there, could be due to additional logging/processing for feedback gathering, etc. I'm really looking forward to it... its really smooth so far.

You're not on beta 5? If I missed an earlier post, I apologize.

After being on beta, if you haven't it's usually wise to give the phone a clean start. Everyone that did saw big improvement.

Re: Android 8.0 Oreo beta for Galaxy S8 - Unlocked (UK) Sprint & T-Mobile (US) only.
. I'm hoping Samsung would release a 6th beta before the 15th to wrap things up. Or even better, release the final version to the unlocked variant early for the beta users. Microsoft does this it's Insiders, wish other companies could follow suit.
Yeah I'm on beta 5, sorry didn't realize

As I said above, Nine is the only real issue I have and that's probably a Nine problem. It's never been happy with any of the Oreo betas.

Just a heads up for Swiftkey users - the SK Beta released today no longer crashes when switching themes, so I'm finally back on SK.
