Note 8 Oreo Update

[Gray Area]

So has it been running smooth for everyone? I hope it doesn't mess my phone up since it runs outstanding after 6 months! If it borks then it would give me a reason to buy the S9 Plus even though I want to wait for the Note 9.

so far so good, had a little wonky start but is settling in and running pretty smooth with no noticeable issues. I've had it on Sprint since March 29 and did a full wipe to get a fresh start.

I think it's just like with PCs when upgrading to a new Windows OS. Always works best when it's originally installed on the device from the factory.

I have not noticed any difference in speed or smoothness. My Note ran perfectly before the update and it continues to run perfectly after.

Not sure, it's still there on mine after the update.

Gotta be honest, I can't tell the difference between my AT&T n8 and my unlocked n8. I guess it's all behind the scenes. They'll both still nasty-fast-nasty, and of course, that's a good thing. So, that leaves me feeling like I don't care if/when my unlocked n8 gets the new firmware. I know there's no stuff in their somewhere but it feels and looks the same.

You're not missing anything. Really. The security patches? Yeah they're not irrelevant but until you get 6 or months behind the latest I'd think you're okay unless you have risky habits.

Got mine this morning, on DTAC (IN Thailand). Don't really see much difference.

has anyone else who uses textra noticed that the "+" feature doesn't allow you to choose photos from the gallery? it's like the original issue I had with textra when the note 8 first came out
