Note 8 still hasn't received Oreo update - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers

This seems way passed overdue. I've tried manually updating with no luck. Has anyone else been experiencing the same issue?

Same here, smartswitch and ota see nothing. Gonna probably need to use odin to get it done.

Do you guys check on setting , system UPDATE (manual mod )

Yeah I've tried manually updating. This seems ridiculous that I still haven't received the update; and I'd prefer not to root the phone...

Yes. No update for me either. I heard it's possible the date your imei was activated could impact your update. I activated mine on Feb 14th.

Same. No update. I usually do all updates for apps and system manually. Still nothing...

Temporarly on Hold.

T-Mobile stopped the OTA Oreo update right now for Note 8. This is due to problems with this update. Samsung and Google are working on a fix. Once they fixed the problems then they will resume OTA Oreo update for the Note 8.
I posted this in another thread days ago. If you have questions or you feel there is no problem, since you didn't have any problems this far, then read my post on the other thread.

My wife and I both received the update before the hold. Did they say why they stopped the update?

Yeah, me to... and my phone has worked beautifully ever since Oreo installed. I STILL can't figure out what the issue is.

Mines starting to heat up more during a charge...and using android auto. Before, the phone used to be nearly cold to the touch. Now it's very warm.

I charge my phone using the 2.0 amp wireless charger (I have a few scattered around) and I haven't noticed ANY heat change. In fact, I'd say the phone is cooler if anything. When I tried to update to Oreo by connecting to the computer (Smartswitch), I got Error 807******(don't remember) repeatedly, so I gave up and updated OTA.

I got tired of waiting and updated to Oreo via Odin. Haven't noticed any major issues.

I think T-Mobile stopped the OTA update because of battery life. I received the update on April 2nd and battery life is pretty bad for me. I only get 3Hrs 45min screen on time. Deleted a lot of apps that I don't use but didn't help much only get 4hrs screen on time. I also had to turn off Always on Display which I hate to do because I was use to looking at the screen without unlocking the phone.

where you got the Oreo update willing to share it on Google Drive or something that doesnt make you wait 20+ hours?

Hello all. My wife and I have note 8 and I received the update and she did not. My phone is working better than before. Her phone is acting up, random question been out of the scene for quite some time. If I flash via Odin will that trip knox?

No. Flashed mine via odin a few weeks ago and didn't trip the Knox counter.

just got mine update yesterday.

Just got mine, the new build number is CRD7, not really sure what's new compared to the last oreo update, but that 1.3 GB update installed surprisingly fast.

Anyone in Ireland got 4.1 yet??????

Still waiting for the 4.1 update for my S3.
Checking every day but still nothing, GSM Arena said we would be getting it this week. Now is that a standard calendar week or a Samsung Week?? As most people know these can be much much longer then a calendar week.

OTA Updates are not all done at once and are spread out over a few days to help with load. If you can get Kies working this should be availiable.
I'll try it again later on my home pc.
KIES is a pain in the bum........ I've installed it 7 times on my work system and still can't get it working.
Let's hope it works at home.
If not you could always download the full Rom and use Odin however this will wipe data/root I think

I'll wait and see what happens over the coming week.

This is the latest firmware.

Opened the phone to send a text and it had a message on the screen that there was an update available.

meteor have the update rolled out. battery life is a bit poorer on jellybean 4.1.1 though so be forewarned.
update via kies should work no issues
the only network which hasnt rolled out JB in ireland is three, who did, realised there was connectivity issues with data due to roaming, so they pulled the update.
goodluck
besides that go to settings, bottom should be about phone or something like that, and there there should be an option to check for updates.

New Update - VS99024A?

Just wondering if anyone has any info, as I'm not seeing anything online. Just got prompted this AM to install.
Installed it as well. Absolutely zero info found so far about it
Not even 6.0.1 so it is pretty minimal
Just installed it this morning; in HIGH HOPES they fixed the distorted audio on bluetooth issue.
ISSUE NOT FIXED.

Claims to be security patch. Probably blocking dirty cow exploits...
Hey all I'm the one who posted the first screenshot of this builds update. Unfortunately there seems to be only the security patches updated so i wont be surprised if the only thing they did was break dirty cow...

this sent my V10 into a boot loop but i see not everyone is have the same hardware issues as I am...my replacement will be here tomorrow
I update my V10 also. Now my phone runs really hot and the battery doesn't last half a day. Anyone else having that problem?

Try a master reset. I'm doing good after the update now.
I'm having issues with this stupid phone! Miss my rooted HTC One Max. So I've called Verizon because my phone keeps trying to update daily and I was told to do a factory reset and then upgrade. This is the silliest thing I have ever heard. Has anybody else had to do this to take a "minor" upgrade? Not to mention it kills the battery downloading the file everyday over 4G! I get an error message after the phone downloads the update, reboots to install the update, reboots again, and wham-o error message!
my phone was running hot and really burning battery fast after update. I froze dtignite program and it seems to have calmed down.

Mine did the same thing. I found a program - DT Ignite - that was sucking up the battery. I disabled it and things went back to normal. I have Verizon . . . . worth a try before resetting.
This is the last time I am taking an update from Verizon. Battery usage really sucks now. 3g and 4g Data switching is terrible. It leaves me on a crap 4g signal and will not switch over to 3g. Been getting constant phone cut outs where the other person can't hear me until I move around and do the "Can you hear me now" crap. Phone was great in the beginning but is now a piece of ####!

That's what happened to my Note 4. I think Verizon is sabotaging phones to prompt new purchases. At first they told me tough **** on my Note 4. buy a new phone. When I said I wouldn't be renewing my contract, they changed their tune and gave me my V10 as replacement.
is anyone else having an issue with the phone freezing and then restarting?? mine is doing that like every 5 min... i did the update this morning as well
No issues here
My*Verizon V10 was pretty good until the update, then is froze and resets all the time. Finally had to replace it with a replacement but they give me the V20. Will let you know how this goes

Update to 7.1.1 or not?

Hi guys,
I recently bought Moto Z and I'm satisfied with everything that it has to offer.
Software channel is reteu,android 7.0,NPLS25.86-30-12.
I just received an update to 7.1.1,should I take it?
What is your experience? The battery life is better,worse,the same...? Anything new? Everything is working? Is it worth it?
I have a bad experience with the new moto actions on shrink screen. The new way to shrink the display is just very odd
I'm firmly on the side of NOT!!
I updated last night and the ota has bricked my phone. the message I am getting is:
" Start up failed: Your device didn't start up successfully. use the software repair assistant on computer to repair your device. connect your device to your computer to get the software repair assistant"
Motorola/Lenovo Chat help are worse than useless, even after knowing what had happened they asked me to go into the main screen of the phone ....twice!
HELLLPPPP!!!

I took the install and it is working great; however, I would like to note, after I installed the update, I had a few issues with Twitter and some other apps. After the install, I did a factory reset and then re-loaded my apps. At least for my Moto Z, v7.1.1 is a very solid update.

If you live in Europe, do not update.
No LTE in Austria, sound equilizer not working, GPS losing connection issues....
Dont update
Wow,so many "don't's"...
I updated mine 2 weeks ago and it works perfectly fine. There's no abnormal behavior, battery life is good, camera great, very smooth.
I live in Europe and everything seems good. ROM is very smooth, GPS works fine, I don't have problems with LTE. Unfortunately LiveDisplay was't added. I recommend doing factory reset
I updated mine, then the next day the phone powered itself off after being fully charged. I turn it back on, it did it again twice while I was using it. I got lucky enough to do a cache wipe which seems to have solved it, but I don't see how these bugs are making it in. I'd be hesitant to install it.
I did the install yesterday after pondering the update. After one reboot everything is running status quo. It seems the majority of the issues everyone's having is not states side (U.S.A.).

Still no Oreo for me. How about you?

Hi guys,
I'm still on Nougat 7.1.2 with my Swift 2+. I'm waiting for the OTA, don't want to side load if I can help it.
I'm trying to get an idea of the proportion of people that are still waiting for their OTA and those that have already received it.
EDIT: nobody received Oreo via the OTA? oh boy...
I just got the OTA, posting this from Oreo
I manually updated (to check for OTA), and am downloading it now
Updated to 8.1 using the official download and now stuck in boot loop. Fortunately remembered to back up my data first.
Update - factory reset got me going again. The next day the battery crashed to 0% charge in no time at all.
All OK now... fingers crossed.
wish I had not chaged to Ori,,
Hi
Have two swift 2x phones in family
my one received the OTA wedensday,
performed the change,
now have no on line data, only over wifi,
Some paramiter like ATP that needs changing but Virgin does not knwo how to
Other phone received invitation to change to 8.1,
weve declined for now thank you....
Mine works fairly well, except for a camera issue (and less than stellar battery life).
wish I had not chaged to Ori,,

Did initially have camera problem,
but after power of and reset,
all good,
after received the phone did 3 OTA upgrades in a row, 2 nougat then oreo. After oreo you have to restart the phone to make camera work again. Still I wish there was LOS or RR or AEX roms on 8.1
Turns out it was an issue with my SD card (128GB, which is not officially supported). With 32GB it works fine. Still disappointing (because it worked before the update)
Got it last night.
Phone been utterly terrible since.
Just done a factory reset hoping it would fix it.
It's taking time to re-setup because of constant repeating steps..
This update has made my phone so much poorer.
I thought it might be the SD card so I went from 64gb down to 32gb.
I even made the SD portable instead.
Done 3 factory resets...
It's randomly (but often!) unresponsive

Question New firmware 64.1.A.0.913

As I'm rooted, I have to manually check for updates via xperifirm. There was an upsated released: version 64.1.A.0.913.
Anybody updated and tested? Apparently camera apps have been updated! Any new features?
I wont get time to update yet, just thought I'd ask.
Thanks
Unless I'm mistaken, this update allows you to switch from android 12 to android 13
Huh we have android 13 for months now ...so i would say no .
Its for sure a security patch.
Chinese 72 got it 2 weeks ago , european 54 got it a week ago and US has to wait for another two weeks , i wish it would be all at the same time .
Hello,
The only feature I expericence since the upgraded is the "phone too hot warning" issue. I use the phone since late november without any trouble.
For the latest week, the phone displayed the orange warning sign and closed the camera app maybe 10 times. It couldn't even go through a 10 minutes google meet call...
It may not be related to the latest release, and I may be the only one having this issue...

Yeah, you're right about security patch. Thought perhaps something has trickled down from the new phone releases, like improved camera apps as they have changed their version numbers. Thanks

Ouch, sorry to hear that. I will update in a few days and see if I have the same issue. Though tbh, I havent had as many issues as some have, perhaps because of root and cleaning up some bloat and adding in adblockers etc.
You should do a full all apps cache wipe and see if that helps.

I had overheating problems with meet and 5g i was outside but on older different firmware.
You also have to understand now its summer time (probably in your country too) so you cant really compare november temperatures with current ones unless you did that in room with AC on.
I'm on the latest US version so still waiting for our update for this cycle. But since my last update, the phone has been very warm to the touch during normal use and I've seen the heat warning many times while using camera. I have never seen it before. Battery life is crap now too and used to be fantastic. Maybe you guys lucked out last month and the US version got whatever it was to cause the heating issues first? My last update was around 300mb so it was bigger that usual I think.
