Verizon Note 8 January security update

Thank you

I do keep all the updates off, but went nuts a couple of months ago because S Note magically updated to the newer crap version. Took me a while, but figured out that I forgot to turn updates off in Secure Folder. Not sure why the update got both versions, I always thought they were two separate installs.

Bottom line is now I'm just incredibly paranoid!

Don't blame you... it's a PITA to get it back once it's overwritten too, so caution is a GOOD thing girl!
 
I want Oreo as much as the next Guy/Gal but am willing to let the Pixel folks play and sort out the issues so we get a problem free build, once Samsung decides it's time for the Note 8 to get it!!! :-)

No issues here on the Pixel. That is only when people join the beta programs. If anything it is the beta people doing the Samsung one that benefit you more :P.
 
I'm on Verizon as well, and it works for me. It seems to be hardwired to use Samsung Internet browser, though. You don't have that disabled, do you?
 
I'm on Verizon and it works fine for me. System updates screen tells me it will take 10 minutes to install...but it downloaded and installed in 9 minutes.
