jamesinclair Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I called a few stores this week and found it in stock at 2 corporate Sprint stores. What was odd is that the website did not allow any processing, including "pickup in store," nor does it offer an option to see inventory. I checked again just now and it's back in stock online. Also, Best Buy no longer carries the phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jreuschl Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 Unfortunately the S8 Active will probably have poorer sales at this point because the guts are a S8 vs a S9I love mine.. battery life is amazing. With light use at work and plugging it in to my car for Android Auto (which does some charging) I’m usually not even plugging it in at night.Hopefully Oreo comes soon.

jreuschl Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 Oreo SHOULD be coming soon for this.. both AT&T and T-Mobile have released theirs in the last few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jreuschl Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 Apparently the next update for the Active will be coming out 11/27, since I received a notification about Calling Plus discontinuation. Perfectly fine with me, because quite a few times a caller couldn't hear me when I was connected with Calling Plus over LTE. I'm not sure if it was buggy on this phone or it is an issue with CP in general. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her last update was in September and the phone says it has the most recent update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impatiently waiting, and I received the same text they did. Of course Sprint Twitter support wasn't helpful, they just confirmed that was the latest. I'm guessing the S8 Active isn't the most popular device, so updates are slow to come around. The T-Mobile version has had two since our last one!

My understanding is only the screen and the battery are different between the S8 and S8 active models. If that's true and all the other internals are the same, I don't know what the holdup could be.
