Mine work apart from email which doesn't show unread email badge, anyone else?

Mines stopped working again over night :mad:

.. Did you get an update straight after flashing Oreo for the Samsung Email app. I did wonder if that has broken something

Someone reset there device on xda and still has the problem........

So probably worth waiting then?

BIGWEB · 20 Mar 2018 at 15:01

I did a dirty update on mine and all seems good

I re flashed XEF then booted in to recovery and wiped cache ... so now it will show 3 unread emails if I then click into the app and leave the emails unread and come out of the email app number count disappears but the emails are still unread within the app. I'm not dismissing the notification but the counts is still disappearing ??

Checked my S7E and that keeps the unread count

Ive flashed mine the other day with odin. Did a full wipe and install. Anyone else having the AOD crash when you go to its settings to change what AOD clock you want?

I've seen is reported on xda .. POST #949 on below link

Seems there are bugs even on a full wipe

Ah thank you very much.

I’d changed the DPI in developer options and I’d set it too high causing it to crash just incase anyone else has the same problem.

OP updated with fast links for downloading the Oreo ROM

brendy · 22 Mar 2018 at 15:09

Think I'll wait until its rolled out. Ive done Cyanogenmod upgrades to phones in the past and disliked the issues that they brought up, this one sounds problematic too?

doodah · 22 Mar 2018 at 16:20

For the large part, it sounds like it's fine with a few niggles for some. I am with you though, I flashed the hell out of my N4 and am fine with running my N8 Odin free (for now at least).

Mujja · 22 Mar 2018 at 16:32

In the past I would have updated within minutes.

Have my phone working just the way I want and don't want to risk breaking anything.

@doodah, thanks for the information in the OP. Just installed iYTBP, looking forward to giving it a go later.

doodah · 22 Mar 2018 at 16:34

@Mujja - nae bother, I really despise adverts and simply rooted and installed the Xposed YouTube app for my Note 4. Overjoyed when I found out there was a non-root solution

Does this handset still make sense for £43 per month with 20GB data? My Note 4 has finally died.

Anybody on Vodafone done the update ..I've lost wifi calling and even after factory reset still not working even tho its in my phone settings

I've rang Vodafone numerous times for them to send out the config but not working :mad:

ping8781 · 26 Mar 2018 at 08:21

Yep, there are a number of issues with WiFi Calling and Oreo update it seems, people reporting the same issues on S8 and S9 also

J273 · 26 Mar 2018 at 17:17

Im the opposite. I bought mine sim free from samsung and use it with three. Before i put oreo on there i had no wifi calling and now ive flashed it with odin, Wifi calling is enabled :confused:

Originally I updated my note 8 to XEF when I first got it but then returned it back to VOD just incase this happened. The Oreo update is on my wifes phone and I dont see any reason to update mine early as theres nothing really new to warranty it.

I'm a bit hesitant to roll back to 7.1.1 in case I brick the phone ..my only option is to reflash oreo xef but use nougat VOD csc that be 3 factory resets in a week not sure I can be bothered

Why there still no Android 8.0 Oreo update yet for the note 8..... :mad:

Am sure I heard that the new S9 is running it already ... :confused:
