Android Pie for Note 8

[datvu4202]

my Galaxy note 8 hasn't received the update to android 9 yet, but i've heard news about devices that have been upgraded. Help me please, i'm so curious about the new features!

My build model is SM-N950UZKASPR

If I'm not mistaken that is the Sprint model, which should have received the update last month. You can look into flashing the binary manually through Odin, but that may require a factory reset iirc.

 

Fyi, I updated my Note 8 to Android Pie and it blows ass. Already went back to Oreo.

Check out this article on how to install it.

 

It was many minor inconveniences that turned me off. For example, the double-tap to hide the nav bar button on the bottom left has been removed. You either always have the nav bar showing, or switch to gesture navigation (which I tried and hated). There's also a floating button that appears when you rotate the device, select it will enable/disable locked rotation. It served me no purpose but I managed to accidentally bump it multiple times. I also had issues with scrolling on certain apps, such as NFL Mobile among other issues.

 

Not saying you shouldn't update, but I personally don't like Pie.
