Yeh the phone turns on quicker, definitely. Beta 2 feels a little bit more sluggish, but more polished. I can't imagine there'll be many more before release.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ewokuk:
Serious problems with beta2 for me that i did not have in beta 1. I am getting huge battery drain when idle, the kernel and AoD are uusing a lot of power when idle, BBS shows the phone is only deep sleeping 17% of the time when usually this is about 83%. Multiple reboots but it is the same every single time. Had no such issues in beta 1. G955F

I'm on ZQJJ beta 1 and it's pretty solid so far. A little lag in settings sometimes but that's about it so far. I've flashed this before and went back to N cause it was laggy and running warm. This time after I flashed and factory reset I logged in and installed my apps and then let everything settle in overnight. Seems to have helped me out anyway.

Does anyone have problem starting camera from lockscreen?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Wagedroid:
No. I did notice that when I have security for lock screen on such as fingerprint, the screen would just stay black with nav buttons when opening camera from lock screen. When I don't have security on, for instance, if I just slide to unlock, I can open the camera from the lock screen just fine.

One thing I'm noticing, not really a bug for performance or use, more cosmetic, is when you choose "icons only" for app icons, all the Google apps keep their frames. Not a big deal but I've been on beta 2 for 3 days and that all I have to report on.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] felacio:
Just got the most obnoxious bug ever.

It started when I attempted Mobile Hotspot, but I can't say that was the actual cause and I feel it was more just coincidence:

Kept getting coming.android.phone crashing over and over, getting an error about "Network does not provide automatic time date setting" and eventually I get a [emoji724] where my signal bar is and I can no longer call or send texts. Ultiole resets and still the same problem.

I decided to check the software update section ,which wouldn't work unless I had a signal bar, so I had to reset, rush to settings, rinse, repeat until I got it to download an update that apparently was there. No errors since then. So bizzare.

Samsung pushed out a firmware that had a major bug with the "phone" app. Theyve pulled the update till it gets fixed.

Beta 2 has been good for me, battery l9fe is attached, if say 30% was on mobile data and rest on WiFi, mixture of activities but if day 60% was on watching YouTube and movies, the rest was telegram, WhatsApp and a game called war robots.

Overall I've had no major issues, I haven't wiped data and came from nougat to beta through members app

Going from Beta 1, which was pretty flawless, to Beta 2 (straight from Beta 1 to the Beta 2 with the fix update) went bad. Lots of apps freezing up. Even OS itself finally locking up on me. I reported prior that things were good, so may either go back to Beta 1 or wait things out for a bit...

I'm enjoying the beta so far however ever since update 2 my youtube won't load. Just spins can't even login.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Itaintrite:
Beta 1 was pretty buggy for me. Camera very laggy and wouldn't save quick enough. I lost a bunch of photos assuming they would be saved immediately after being taken. Nope. Also got black screen with working navbar and notification. This was a clean install btw.

Beta 2 is much better. Camera works. No BSOD so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xavier2k3:
Exactly the same for me. This feels much worse then beta 1. Camera issue not being able to use in two places at once and general lag even when typing and locking up. Tempted to go back to beta 1.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] felacio:
So many camera bugs :(

Also a lot of apps just sit at a black screen.. hopefully Beta 3 fixes this still. Beta 2 wasn't the best experience in my end.

I totally agree, I will take android o beta after 7 tho . Camera bugs are just killing me when I'm trying to capture a moment . Any idea when beta 3 comes out ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] felacio:
I think we are talking beta 4 as 3 is out already as of Nov 28th and that is the one that is cussing camera issues for me, endung in ZQKK.

So hopefully Beta 4 fixes it, but no word on it's release yet. :(

Battery life on beta 4 so much better for me now, best I've had. Just got 5 hours screen on time with 24 hours battery life
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon:
So guys, how is the last beta? Does Samsung go closer to the stable version or?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] cavags5:
Yes beta 4 is very close to stable.

Maybe this time i will keep it until official release, and don't downgrade.

Battery is good, the only thing, i notice more, is Wi-Fi turn off sometimes by itself, and lag in some options.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] felacio:
My camera isn't birked now, at least it hasn't since the update. It does error out while coming out of the lockscreen which is odd, but a restart and it's fine.

Not getting random app freezes with a black screen. THAT was annoying. I dunno about battery life yet, but it feels better than 3 did all around. 3 was basically a dud for me.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mikeyaj:
Nothing is better than nougat.

Lag is sometimes awful and other times slightly worse than nougat. Never better.

Battery is about the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Reechings:
Completely different experience to me. Never going back to Nougat.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] cavags5:
I agree with you,

There is lag in some ways very easy to notice.

Battery is only or same as Nougat in Wi-Fi, in 4G is worse.

Could be better in final release, beta 3 to beta 4 was a big difference in battery.

But there is a couple features i missed from Nougat.

And im thinking in downgrade again.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Quickvic30:
I'm on BL 1 ZQKL beta 2 and this betta is smooth and fast! I don't think many people are letting their phones settle in after flashing and a factory reset makes a WORLD of difference also. I know its a pita to restore everytime you flash but if you find a good beta for your phone I'd factory reset and let it settle in for a few days and you'll be amazed! I use the Nexus/Pixel 2 launcher and that helps smooth transitions and animations where the TW launcher or now "Samsung Experience" launcher lags and drops frames. Battery life is amazing also!

Android Pay will not work until beta testing is over and the software goes through Google certification. It should work fine on the official release though.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] juniorr7710:
This is what worked for me:

install the Live Message 1.2.11 Beta Apk --- Then you can create a live message in any app that has a search bar. If you want to create a live message in a messenger like Samsung Messages, Whatsapp etc.

Then that goes only in the search bar of Messengers. In the notification field of a contact in Messenger, creating a live message does not work. Press the Live Message icon in the Samsung 3.0.00.96 keyboard, create a live message. Then when 100% loaded, ready and send. Then in the appearing menu select the contact you want to send the live message or with which app you want to share the live message.

Hope that helps

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] koobie777:
Almost half of my games don't work after updating to beta 6. Someone on another thread said it was due to the GPU drivers being updated but that doesn't explain why some games still work. I will say that stability, performance, and battery life are excellent for a beta. I am fairly new to this device and I only used nougat for like a day before getting beta 4 a week ago.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mikeyaj:
At beta 6 there is no huge bugs for me.

Nothing has improved with Oreo.

Oreo is no upgrade from nougat.

It's not Samsung's fault. Google just don't bring anything interesting to the table anymore

Android O core features:

Power saving thanks to Android O

Earlier updates thanks to Project Treble

Apps and reboots are faster with Android O

Apps are better thanks to Google Play Protect and tougher enforcement of criteria

Wi-Fi Aware (also known as Neighbor Awareness Networking or NAN)

Autofill revolutionizes password management

Bootloop prevention with Rescue Party

Not too many features that really got me excited about Oreo - but here are my notes

One thing I noticed is that the Sound Detector will cut my music out when using a headset that has a microphone. I never enabled that features.

On reboot, the phone is restoring all of my old text messages

battery life seems good to me

Haven't had a chance to test out bluetooth yet

The SoundAlive add-in is pretty nice

I like that Maps shows up as a window when I minimize it during navigation
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kevinmr82:
Unfortunately the Galaxy S8 series of phones are not participating in Project Treble. It will not be a requirement until the Galaxy S9. Only devices that ship with Android 8.0 are required to use this.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mikeyaj:
Thanks for proving my point.

No real world improvements for the average user.

It's just bug fixes and minor changes that don't improve much for most people beyond geeks in forums.

Aaaaand the most useful feature in oreo (pip) is already on samsung nougat
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ocujos:
"Hi-Fi via Bluetooth"

Anyone using Bluetooth headphones will really appreciate this Oreo feature. It adds support for Hi Definition codecs like LDAC and APT-X HD. They sound sooooo much better than anything else on Android.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JeffDC:
Is this a software dependent addition and or (new S9 only) hardware dependent addition?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Biggenz:
New update is killing my battery with high Android System drainage. Two versions before this was the best battery life I've seen from this phone. Is there any way to go back?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] gamer765:
Hardware dependant. Both ends have to support either aptX HD or LDAC. If your Bluetooth headset doesn't support the codec, then you're not gonna benefit from the addition cause it won't work. Either ocujos has compatible gear or he's experiencing a placebo effect.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JeffDC:
Thank you.

I could use some placebo in my morning oatmeal, right about now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ocujos:
It's not a placebo if your ears are trained to experience quality sound. Sony 1000xm2 headphones is what I have. The extra bandwidth of LDAC codec (Sony Proprietary) makes a *massive* difference.

If you don't have the right gear you'll never know.

I am just curious, how many can easily adapt to big and small size phones. And how many have to have large phones?

For myself I can adjust pretty easily. Give me a 5 inch phone and I'll be fine. Give me a 6+ phone I'll also be fine. I generally prefer large phones but I am using the small Pixel 2 mainly because one handed use matters with a newborn. And I was not that impressed with pixel 2 xl
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Deadend41BG:
Ok the title is not completely accurate since I know when it goes crazy, but it will be more easily found in google(I think).

The problem that I had was that when I plugged my phone's charger in the train outlet the digitizer went crazy whenever I toucht the screen. Now what I think the problem was is that for some reason the voltage in the outlet was more then our standard (220) and was what caused the problem. Right now I am using the same charger at home and everything is fine as far as I know. I will update this thread if it starts to behave strangely again. Please excuse me if something isn't understandable since English isn't my mother thong and I haven't spoken or written anything in English for the past 4 months.

Don't let them send you a phone. Go into the T-Mobile store and ask to see the box. The version that is installed is on the bar code.

If it is 10k or older, then you can root. Well, 10k you can roll back to 10j and root. If it has 10p or 10q -- it is a no go.

PH-1 reception in my house in mid-peninsula SF Bay Area is non-existent. Meanwhile the Galaxy 7, Galaxy 5, iPhone 5, and iPhone 7 all get decent enough signal here. No matter how good the phone otherwise, that's a deal killer.

Update: the phone continues to frustrate. Reception sucks even in the heart of towns here where other phones are just fine. Basically, the phone is useless except as a pretty iPod that takes cool 360 pictures. What a shame.
