AT&T Note 8 - Software update 11/14/17

Re: Software update 11/14/17

Just switch to manually set date/time and roll the date up, works like a charm and no more waiting

Sweet... never would have thought of that! Just did it - it's up on the counter downloading right now... Thank You very much!!! :-)

UPDATE: Done! Thanks again mhunter6378!

I have an unlocked Note 8 on ATT. Will I get that update or a different one?

You'd get the update for the unlocked model, not ATT's. Furthermore, you only get it when it rolls out to the region the model was intended to (so, if you have a Brazilian unlocked model in the US and the update hits the US unlocked model, you won't get until the update hits Brazil).

Thanks. That's what I thought would happen. Hopefully not a long wait.
 
Please let anyone of us waiting on an update if bluetooth functionality has improved with older older devices. Backward compatibility remains an issue for a lot of N8 users. Hopefully we will not have to wait for the new OS. I'm on Verizon.

You know action memo is basically part of the new S Notes right? If you have a phone number, web address, email etc in a note you just hover over it with the s-pen and it'll give you the action according to what it is.

Not sure why people are still side loading the old apk.
They're not remotely close in functionality. S Note, and its Action Memo component are feature rich productivity tools. Samsung Notes is basically a scratch pad for notes, drawing and doodling.

There are many videos on YouTube showing its features as far back as I believe for all Notes. Check them out, you may end up liking it :)

When the Nougat update came for my Note 5, it included an update to a "newer" version of S Note. Some of its features were removed. There was no way to uninstall the update and side load an older version. That's why I'm now leary of ANY updates.

Yeah, if you allow Play Store to update S Note (or Samsung Notes) it will wipe out the sideloaded version of Action Memo if you just went through the trouble of installing that! So make damned sure you turn OFF "Auto Update" on S-Note!

I had it off everywhere. That wasn't when it updated. I guess it somehow was built into the Nougat OS upgrade/update. And it was then uninstallable (normally you can uninstall the updates). It wasn't with a version that removed Action Memo, but some other S Note features. That's why I'm paranoid now, lol!
 
I just realized my action memo is gone too and for some reason I can't reinstall the file I already have. I'm downloading everything again

Update. I just reset the phone, then reinstalled the action memo files and everything's working good again
