Paynefanbro Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I'm glad that the Samsung Messages notification stopped in the new update. Facebook's app still freezes while scrolling through back lot of comments or comments with media in them so convinced it's a problem with the app as opposed to Samsung. I reported it to Facebook so hopefully someone in the chain will onow how to fix it. For now I'm using the Facebook Lite app and it's working pretty well.

BlueAngel Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 So yeah I'm pretty sure Sprints plan for the S8 is to wait for an official Oreo update, I mean who isn't fine with an August 1st security patch? Lol /rant it's just silly not complaining just a weird way to do things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmark27 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Looks like they've pulled the Beta due to a process.android.com fatal error. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk I haven't experienced this yet, but it seems like there is an easy fix if you encounter it by going into your settings. The update will probably be re-released later this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanK_ Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Wow! This 2nd update has made my phone useless. I have to go back to official software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this second update is horrible. If someone calls me my whole phone freezes. Also Youtube will stop working all of a sudden. I may go back to official build but I will give it a few days.

In reality the "benefits" of Oreo aren't that apparent especially if you use Nova Launcher. The PiP is cute, but not very necessary and that's about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucdenny Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 How do you roll back without needing to reinstall everything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmark27 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 How do you roll back without needing to reinstall everything?I don't think that's possible. It wipes the phone. However, if you are patient enough, Samsung Cloud/backup/whatever will replace everything, granted it's backing up your apps and app data. I'm usually too impatient and just start fresh.

optimummind Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Still on Beta 2 on my 955U1. It is so much more stable and smoother than the 1st Beta. Also, a HUGE improvement in battery life (during both Idle and Use). No Phone App issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike for Beta 1, though, I performed a Factory Reset after updating to Beta 2. Restored my data using Samsung Cloud and Helium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmark27 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Has anyone seen any deals coming for the S8 Active on Sprint? I see that new customers can get it at 1/2 off tomorrow, but anything for existing customers?? I think this would be the ideal phone for my parents. No need to use a big ass case and the huge battery would be good for them as well. Hoping to save anything I can on these. Looking to order tomorrow unless there's any internal information on coming Black Friday deals..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themuffinman Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Had lots of issues with beta 2 as well but after wiping system cache, everything started working as intended. No freezes or any other issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clbowens Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I'm going for the GS8 today or tomorrow. Just FYI, Best Buy has a deal with either $350 with installment payments OR a $350 gift card with a lease. I'm going to do the lease. Ends Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
