Not a real Samsung store bud.

I'd say they're real but I'm not so sure on the warranty.
tempted to throw s8+ against the wall...
after the update in November I think and hard reset as it was playing up, it got worse...
came back from holiday few days ago and it was just dead slow...did HR last night... now pics from half of the trip are nothing the SD card...just gone...no photos on card since previous HR...and for some reason Google photos were not backed up for at least a week... tried to make a video now...and after I stop recording, it takes around 30 sec for camera app to stop...
could there be any internal damaged caused by it being dropped a while back ?? just the front glass is crkaced screen has no damage itself
EDIT two videos I just made are no where to be found...either SD or internal...

Sounds like a faulty SD card to be honest.
What I've found with Samsung phones is the performance and overall experience can be drastically affected by an SD card.
am looking at new card as well but to that extreme can it affect ?
might try use it without for time being
I've had faulty cards which exhibit all the things you outlined, it can be a PITA.
took card out...and apps that were sluggish, work normal !
thanks for the tip !
New card ordered
to think I've struggled over 2 months like this ...

No probs, I'd do a cache clear too via the advanced recovery system boot up and should be all good after that!

One UI Beta registration notice is now showing in the Samsung Members app and also a notice to say Pie is due Mar '19 for S8 and 8+ subject to change of course.

I'm on 3 but with June update...no updates showing as available.

Been running OneUI beta for the last day and so far everything is nice. It took a full day for things to get smooth and snappy, I guess Android builds up its cashes throughout the day or something.
Some nice new features and I'm liking the gesture based navigation especially when typing as it reduces the gap at the bottom of the screen when the keyboard is up.
The visual change with OneUI is really nice, the syste, dark theme is also very nice. It feels more like how you'd expect a Samsung Nexus to feel running the latest Android build.
Neat.

Wow, that's some distance behind. Maybe power off the device, remove and re-insert the sim before powering on the device and seeing if it picks up an update?

Just done as you suggested, but still no update.
Could it be because it's the Active variant of the S8...maybe only updates will be sent in the US?
Man of Honour
That will be exactly why. The Active wasn't really the most popular or most up to date model for OEMs to update on.

Try a restart, i had to reboot phone and then it showed up. It's a 1.6Gb update so Wi-Fi recommended unless your on big data tariff
I would echo MRK's comments, nice and smooth now after install yesterday and really enjoying using it so far. Visually prefer it to previous UI and works well even with Nova running. Lots of nice little tweaks and bits that make the phone far nicer to use
Man of Honour
Dare I even say it, OneUI is an improvement on Google's Pie UI. It's just better for one handed navigation.
