When they say competitively price that usually means a lower price, not the same as last year. And the 512 version is $1299, that's not competitive at all and it seems that might be the common one available on some carriers. Still, a new pen isn't a reason to upgrade IMO. Going to see what Apple has to show this year and if nothing worth a damn, I'll wait for the S10+.

I have a N950U1 on AT&T, and am currently on U3CRC2 (based on instructions by BlueFox721).

Can I update to CRF6 (downloaded from Post #2 in this thread) and sideload it through Odin 3.13.3? (Do I need to do anything else?)

If so, would WiFi calling and Enhanced LTE work on AT&T?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
Yes you can go straight to N950USQS5CRF6 using the Odin files at the beginning of post 2 and do one single flash. (Use the Odin listed in Post 2 as well). Aside from doing a backup, because it will factory wipe, that's all you need to do.

Oh, and yes Wi-Fi Calling and Enhanced LTE work

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] XxNamelessForeverxX:
Wow, I guess I didn't go far enough back. I though for certain time I tried that one because it's the first with the different colored icon. It did work though when I tried it this time.

Kinda lame that we can't use the newest version of the software made for the same time if version. I know I'm probably stating that wrong. I'm talking about like if your phone is arm64-v8a, then you should be able to upgrade to any version made for that type, and especially if it states universal, like the newest version says. It says universal above Android 7.0. Well, check on both of those but still nothing.

Sorry for ranting...I guess I'm just used to the Nexus/Pixel way of life.. On a brighter note, go see the movie The MEG... Pretty sweet movie.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] jack man:
Not necessarily the case. At least not for me. I got CRF6 when it was released officially OTA, which was about the 3rd week of July, I believe. I didn't have landscape in TouchWiz (Samsung experience app) until the Galaxy apps store updated it about a week ago.

Might be different for some others, but that's just my experience.

If you backup with Samsung Smartswitch on the pc via USB from the phone, and ODIN the phone to your selected version, update, etc.....does smart switch put your phone back completely to the way it was before such as app data and settings etc? It's been awhile since I've done it and I didn't remember if it backed up your settings too.

Be nice if this build fixes the damn Gear S3 from constantly disconnecting from the damn phone. This happens at least twice a day and it's annoying as hell. I've found no information about this issue either. Anyone else had this issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Nickitt:
Very interesting you're experiencing this. I have a Gear S2-S3 and the new sport. I haven't ever had a issue with connecting the device to my Note 8 or my fiance's S8+. Maybe it is the watch, have you checked the forums to make sure you have the latest firmware version on it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] phillthedrill:
So I used the Samsung Smartswitch and ODINed, then updated to the latest but Samsung Smartswitch didn't put all of my settings back. For instance, I have to setup my widgets again and Package disabler looks like I have to reset the things I want disabled. It also didn't put back my sidebar the same way. All of the previous apps that were disabled are all enabled again. I guess Smartswitch doesn't do everything. Is there a way next time I can ODIN without erasing anything?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] bassman418:
You have to Odin down, then when it reboots into the recovery (dont let it boot up fully) select Apply update using SD card option. Select the already downloaded update. When it finishes you can then let it reboot fully. You should have everything intact without needing to reload text, calls, apps settings, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
[MENTION=4276100]bassman418[/MENTION] is right. It's also in the OP. But keep in mind if you start having problems with stability, it COULD be from a "dirty" flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] phillthedrill:
Ahh ok, so what you're saying is let it ODIN everything, let the progress bar go to the end, then when it restarts, make it go back into recovery before it can fully boot to the 2nd part to "erase"?

I've ODINed it before and never had to do that, interesting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
No, as the flash finishes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] phillthedrill:
Ahh, I think I see what you're saying. Where I'm talking about it erases it is after ODIN, not from the zip upgrade file in recovery. Like, I let it ODIN, and then it reboots and goes right into setting up the phone (erased everything)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] nolimit06:
It's pretty much been doing this since Oreo came out for the Note8. I always wipe do a full factory wipe of the phone and watch when I do any updates. I have seemed to of narrowed it down to the possibility of Android Auto causing this issue. I have a 2016 Sonata and I connect the phone via USB for the full Android Auto experience, but for some reason it always disconnects the watch from my phone. Even forcing it to reconnect doesn't always work, sometimes it does. It will still randomly occur just walking through a store or sitting on the couch as well. But that's far less common. A friend who has the sport has the same issue with her S9+, but doesn't use AA.

And yes, the watch is on the latest AT&T firmware.

Anyone else had issues with Bixby on CRG9? I don't use it really, but when I press the bixby button, I get this notification, even though all permissions are enabled. I haven't done a factory reset, don't really want to but guess I will if I need to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] SiNJiN76:
I installed CRG9 then did a factory reset (first time since all the OREO updates). The reason I did that was because my Gear Plugin kept FCing, which pretty much made my Gear S3 unusable as a smartwatch (this happened since the first Oreo update). So, I decided it was time to Reset and so far so good no FCing of any system apps.

My Bixby doesn't display that message.
