It does seem smoother specially when you press the bixby button and get the sliding animation.

Navigation bar is unified.. even on third-party apps.
Btw, its rolling out to UAE.

Do tell me when you get a chance. Had a bad experience last year with the S7's July patch, so I'm not installing any updates this year unless there aren't problems with it.

Is this update out in UK?
I'm still on April's AQDG (unbranded phone BTU SM-G950F) and didn't even get May's AQEB update yet...
Am I missing something?

Which network are you on? I am on Vodafone and updates get pushed out super quick compared to the likes of EE who take an eternity.
Also mine was Vodafone branded but debranded it by flashing XEU so maybe you can try that?

Mine is unbranded (bought from Samsung Online store) and I'm on O2 network.
Do I need to flash another firmware to get updates more quickly?
I thought on an unbranded phone the carrier was irrelevant when it comes to updates. Maybe I was wrong?

I'm on BTU as well and I have nothing either.
EE carrier but my phone is unbranded from Samsung too.

I had the same thing when I had a S6 unbranded it took forever to get updates on BTU sometimes it was way after the carrier updates.
Not sure if you can go BTU to XEU but no harm in trying as it does not require a wipe of the phone.
**EDIT**
Another way is use samsung smart switch to see if there is an update using that.

That's not the described "urgent" update some sites talked about though, you simply got your device shipped with an older version, mine got shipped on tuesday and had PB4 already.

Interesting, didn't it have to do with edge app support (at least that's what i read in most articles)?
Anyways here is my software info and i got no update since i have the device, maybe the urgent update isn't that much of a deal in reality, but just for some devices which not already got shipped with the latest already...
Edit: Ah, I've now read about the sensivity also, still the question stays the same though.

I have the new update installed and it didnt break my LED notification. Even edge lighting notifications works.
Any noteworthy changes with the update or is it just a security patch?

Just security patch.. When update have S in build like here G950USQS1AQG1 this mean it is only security update, but if you see U like here G950USQU1AQEF this mean some software changes. Next update seems to be ( not release yet and maybe different ) G950USQU1AQGD.
This works pretty good for the meantime... GMD Full Screen Immersive Mode, on the Play Store
I hope they make the Samsung official update available for us!!!!

AT&T update

Wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything. AT&T dad not pushed the update that Samsung and the other carriers have, correct?
Had the phone since the 7th, nothing on my end yet. Manually checked once last week.
I have had mine since the 7th too and no update.
Samsung has created one for AT&T, but AT&T has not certified it yet.

Hey norbarb, do I need to disable substratum themes on note 8 before i get an OTA? I keep checking manually and it says system is up to date, is substratum applied themes blocking the OTA somehow? Or will it update on its own and screw up my phone? I have substratum enabled themes and still can't get the new OTA as of today... Thanks for any advise!!! Your always a GREAT help!!
Has everyone got their OTA? I still don't have it available..... still on AQH7
Does anyone know if you have an unlocked version with AT&T firmware flashed still get the automatic update from AT&T? I kept checking and it still said I have the latest version, which is AQH7.

I believe you need an AT&T SIM card to get it. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
I do have a new AT&T SIM card and my IMEI is provisioned.

Try setting your clock ahead like 3 or 4 days. I think it's set up so it actually only checks once every 48 hours so you can't flood the system by just hitting check now over and over again. Setting your clock ahead sometimes helps

I've seen this bug mentionned loads of times, but I'm still not sure what it is. Can you describe it?
Looks like you guys forgot the hdr10 support that was promised by HTC
Unbelievable company. And they wonder why they are losing with such wonderful hardware capable of maxing even the s9plus while OnePlus is making it with all it's missing features
The answer is the GOD D$$N software support

Already solved by disabling dnd
Anyway, is it possible to change the corner radius for natifications panel? It looks prety odd now
Camera on my device works just fine after a factory reset.
My only problem now is how to remove the cellular signal since i only like to have just both wifi signal and battery only.
i tried hiding the cellular signal using the UI tuner but it seens to not work, any ideas?
Cons: the fact that the stock launcher is only the one who gets integrated in the recents is really bad, try using another custom launcher and the recents just get bad.
