Sprint Oreo Update

[balansboy]

Started rolling out yesterday. I am still waiting. Anyone on Sprint receive the OTA update yet?

I received the Oreo OTA update 3.18.651.3 (1.41 GB) from Sprint today, and everything is working well after installing.

Downloading it now!

Just got it.
Looks like there have been some added apps.
Amazon Shopping
Viveport
Record, an Under Armour fittness app
and a background app called mobile installer

Everything seems to be running ok.

The download and installation went through okay. I did a factory reset due to a few bugs that seemed to keep it from operating as fast as possible though. Sort of pain setting up the Sense/Nova launchers and settings again last night, but I think I got most of it out of the way now.

Battery seems to be doing okay after wiping the Google Play storage, which was recommended on here early on after the initial release. Will take awhile before figuring out if it's any better than before though. The past month or two have shown a bit of a decrease in battery performance overall, which is honestly expected after a year and half. But if this holds up for me and the improvements are solid, then I might wait a bit before upgrading this year.

I downloaded last night. The only change I see is that I now have 2 fixed notifications. How can I get rid of them. One is that Voicemail is running. I want VM to work if someone leaves a message, but I do not want that notification stuck there all the time. How can I get rid of it without closing VM?
The other is Android System. It is Mobile Installer and VM is running. I preferred not seeing this as a fixed notification. How can I get rid of these 2 fixed notifications? Thank you

They disappeared from my notifications deal this morning. I can't remember if I did anything specific or know if it's permanent, but they're not there at the moment.

Downloaded OTA last night also. I noticed the Viveport app but not the Amazon Shopping and
Record, an Under Armour fitness app. Thanks, Markwoll! Luckily, they were all easily uninstalled. I too wiped the cashe ans so far so good! I might not even go back to Action Launcher as Sense does same stuff (minus the second dock page)

I went from 97% battery at noon and, through casual use of apps or Bluetooth on the drive home, had 55% around 5 pm. This was after a factory reset and wipe of the Google Play cache too. I could probably tweak a few more things, but at the 20-month mark, this doesn't seem too bad maybe?

I'm usually pretty good about charging my phone too, so I doubt it would be much of an issue for me either way.

I wonder what you did? I restarted but they are back. And now I noticed my Sound Notfication is off for texts, seems I am not the only one having that issue. That is a real problem.

Yeah, if I knew, I'd tell you for sure! All I can suggest is maybe keep tweaking your apps/settings back to what they were before... I don't think anything I did by actually hitting the notification helped much. Pretty sure they still came up after the reset too, but I haven't seen them since that first day.

Going terribly.

I can't get play store to work, the installers don't work, and "voicemail is running" won't stop being notified. I can't force stop the apps either.

And how there's no easy way to roll back is an utter joke.

I'm still on Android 6.01. Never updated to 7 due to bad reviews. Anymore reviews on oreo?

Updated my wife's HTC 10 with no problem. Got rid of the VM running in the background by updating the visual voice mail app.

Update the visual voice mail app. That got rid of mine.

Does the phone still have themes after Oreo? Specifically freestyle?
