you mean Micro SD (External) or internal SD?

p.s. if i will put update zip in External SD (Micro Sd) will original recovery find the package? and 1 more question if i will update from external card will it destroy data on external SD?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ag7777:
Yes, you have to put it to the external SD. Then restart to recovery mode and choose apply an update form the external SD card. Good luck!

You will have to Odin back to ARA1. Then apply update ARA1-to-BRC5. The download link you'll find on page 6 of this forum.

Nope, sorry the Sprint one is the G892U but the AT&T one is the G892A they are different variants so it won't work. But I don't know if there are Sprint ones out there, might have to do a bit of digging to find it if it exists. Try searching the forums, something might turn up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] choy188:
Speculation on public release

I believe, because in the past, Note phones get the updates from ATT at about the same time as the Active phones, and Samsung just announced that ALL S8s and Note 8s will receive Oreo in the coming 3 weeks, our phones will get the update in that timeframe as well. T-Mobile and Sprint phones will probably get it even sooner because ATT is ridiculously slow when it comes to updates.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Robborboy:

Unable to update

Hello,

I figured it's best to continue in this thread even thou its not the same issue, i also have a AT&T Samsung S8 Active, but i live in Sweden and not using AT&T as a carrier.

So what do i have as options if I want Oreo and future updates? Since what i have understood you need to have a AT&T sim card and/or be in an AT&T network for the OTA updates to work, correct?

Should i then buy a pre paid simcard from eBay and use when i update or is there another way? Maybe a better way.

And just to let you guys know, i'm a total beginner in this, so please use big words :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ag7777:
Prepaid cards do not work in roaming. At&t card will not help at all as you have to be registered with at&t network. Just download either OTAs or full restore with Odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chrjoh85:
Ok, but i need 3-4 security updates before i can install the oreo update?

Is there a tutorial i can find on how to install them?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ag7777:
You can do this if you have all the OTA updates in a row. Please remember that your phone will try to reset on each sideload update unless you do a trick. The other way you can use full restore with Odin to either ara1 or arb1. The data will be reset. Then there is no need to setup your phone. Just insert the SD card with brc5 OTA update.zip. Do the update. When updated and restarted, setup your phone and import backed up data with Smartswitch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chrjoh85:
I do thank you for your time and efforts, but i don't understand any of this, i downloaded Odin, could not really understand what to do.

Dont know what ara1 or arb1 is.

tried to google brc5 ota update.zip, but didnt gt any good hits.

Maybe this isnt for me...

But i really want the latest updates.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ag7777:
The following is at&t update info. ara1, arb1 and brc5 are the last 4 letters of the build name. You have to download all necessary files for Odin first.

https://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s8/how-to/g892a-odin-restore-files-data-pit-t3766685

This is arb1.

Please google for instructions how to...

Then you should download OTA update ARB1-TO-BRC5 and you have to put it to the external SD. Then restart the phone to recovery mode and choose apply an update form the external SD card.

Here is the current update: Android 8.0.0 Oreo

This person is from Sweden. There is no opportunity to get official update. AT&T allows download to its customers only.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] FatalONEM8:
He could flash the G892U firmware and call it a day (and get OTAs natively (iirc))
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ag7777:
Is it possible to do so?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] FatalONEM8:
It should be since it's the same device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ag7777:
It's been speculated that the radio is different. Therefore, it could be a risk to flash it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] FatalONEM8:
As long as the bootloader is the same it should flash fine, you'll need a modded Odin to do so however, https://drive.google.com/open?id=1cFvAWFX4E5aqoKqSTR_Nf4h3HgzHUgY7

If it doesn't flash at all, say because of a PIT error, don't try to flash it any further.

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ag7777:
User data shouldn't be used at all but this is not a problem. Loading it will double and mix some operator related apps and settings (at&t and t-mobile). Still it can be loaded with no error in Odin. Please check if you are doing everything correct. Are you doing it from "Download" mode?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chrjoh85:
Ok, so dont load anything into userdata, only the other 4 files, BL, AP, CP and CSC_ATT

Yes i'm in Download mode. Is there a specific version of Odin that i should use? I can see that there are several different versions about. The one i'm using is v3.12.7. And when i tried i did not run odin "as Administrator, should that be a problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ag7777:
4 files is correct. I used 3.13.1. Never ran as administrator. Try to use another usb port. Heard that USB3 is not always good. One guy here mentioned he managed to upload firmware on another computer. Check for other software could interfere with USB comunication. Is CRC check OK?

Someone is missing a trick here. Seems there is quite high demand for it! I have been searching for the same thing!
[Huawei Mate 10  Accessories] Cephalus:
This one appears to cover the logo area, but you might want to confirm with the seller, as the listing is for multiple models and there are no photos of the Mate 10 Pro protector.

Edit: I take that back. Comments in the feedback show that there is indeed a window through which the logo can be seen.

Another possibility is to get one with a transparent logo section and use a permanent marker on the back before applying it to the 'phone.

So guys I found a solution if you're like me I hate front screen branding. I almost sold the phone because of it (I'm anal about sh*t like that) So what I did is use a small strip of black dbrand skin I had in storage and place in the opening of the where the branding is at on the tempered glass screen protector. So the end result looks great, I only notice something is there when I shine a bright light on it but other than that it looks perfect. Check the pic, give it a shot and let the rest of us know.

No Problems,Bluetooth works with headphones as long as you hear
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] edelgul:
Yes, there is such problem.

Wifi and connectivity speed drops even when Bluetooth module is on, without any devices connected, and becomes hardly usable.

Thus if you intend to use any Bluetooth devices together with WiFi, this is hardly a device for you. This is especially the case if you intend to use any of the smart watches of fitness trackers, that become hardly usable due to the repeated disconnections.

I don't know if this is a EMUI related problem, or not (installing Lineage may void my warranty, and i intend to return the phone), but the problem is quite persistent.
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] javigh:
I was looking for some answers to my problem and I think this could be related... As you mentioned, when I have bluetooth connected to my earphones, the wifi connection speed drops a lot. It depends on the router though... I have a Virgin SuperHub 2 (UK) and it drops to 4-10 Mbit/s or so... I have done some test at work with a Netgear 6800 and it something like:

No bluetooth: 90 Mbit/s down / 90 Mbit/s up

Bluetooth connected to earphones but not playing anything: 67 Mbit/s / 90 Mbit/s

Bluetooth connected and reproducing music: 27 Mbit/s / 80 Mbit/s

Just checking the speed tests on my phone with the superHub 2 at home, it drops to 7 Mbit/s if it's connected to bluetooth and at around 100 Mbit/s if it's not...

Is there any software fix for this problem or is it a hardware problem?

Thanks!

bluetooth phone calls not working

The problem is bluetooth audio for phone calls isnt working, i tested this

in 3-4 vehicles as initially thought this could be problem in the vehicle.

However i noticed the same issue in all vehicles. So this is definitely not

a vehicle issue. the phone audio on calls isnt routed via the vehicles (pairing is fine) -

however if play a song through a music player on phone, it works fine.

i have tried restarting phone several times and also deleted all pairing

and re-pairing the devices, i deleted the bluetooth data/cache as well but

no success..

I'm on a BKL-L04. I have not experienced any issue at all with bluetooth. I have an LG Urbane connected all the time. I stream music in home and in my vehicle and bluetooth has never caused me any issue - even with wifi on (and wifi does not slow, at least to my perception). Times when I've used my bluetooth headset, I still haven't had any bluetooth issues. (I came from, and still own, an Honor 8. I could barely leave the room with my headset connected to the Honor 8 before the signal would start dropping. No such problem with the View10. In fact, I have much more range in my house on my headset on the View10 than I did on the 8). My View10 is completely stock, no root.
