First off let me say I Do Not intend for this to be another whine thread....
Just wanted to reach out and see if anyone has had any signs of an update. I recall from one of the previous now closed threads started one user mentioned the 5th as being a possible date. Though seemingly arbitrary date the 5th is here.
People chime in if you get the notification!
Nothing for me yet.
It probably won't come out until the new Google phones do. I know it's difficult for flashaholics, but be patient.
Now I'm waiting for the September security update for Marshmallow, maybe it will be late too. They seem to be in a huge work.
This thread is the best sign.

That's what intended mine to be, but it went south so fast! Lol no sign for me yet, I'm hoping maybe by tonight. It's REALLY behind said release date. Staying optimistic!
This is the only sign from Google I have seen.
Absolutely notting here. Not even the sept security update.
There will be a September in 2017,too
If I'm remembering the same post, a user speculated that the update would be tied to the September monthly security update. That seemed like pure speculation. I hope the updates are posted soon but I don't think today will be the day, since it is already the afternoon and a business holiday. Hope I'm wrong!
Hope it's soon.

Maybe tomorrow then, I forgot it was a holiday. What gets me is how they got everyone all riled up that it was gonna be in August, and it's gonna be out at the same time haha
Yeah Im ready for the official build too, this NPD90G preview wants me to want more, or at least some minor fixes.
No updates.............there will be speculations.
No speculations.....probably updates.
From what I've heard Qualcomm needs to do some driver upgrades for full Android N Support. If that is the case, it would explain why Google hasn't released the update yet, they simply can't until Qualcomm delivers. I can imagine Qualcomm has their hands full at the moment with all the smartphone companies out their requesting driver updates to support Android N as well.
I don't have any references for this, as I read it in a post somewhere but don't remember where. Don't take my word for it. But of course it would be interesting if someone could confirm or deny this.
I don't expect the update any time soon, but at least the latest beta runs very smoothly on my device. Can't complain at the moment.
Thats what has confused me DP5 runs well so id have thought it was near release quality but I guess not with the update taking so long. As far as qualcomm surely google should be the highest priority for drivers/updates given that they build the entire base that all other android phones base off? So an N driver for a specific SoC should work for all devices using that SoC?
I'm pretty satisfied with the Uber N ROM as is.
What @onemandivision said is correct, driver updates are critical. It's not just the kernel and the android base.
I'm a little confused by the delay though since it is already clear that phones on chips older than snapdragon 800/801 won't get nougat (ie 65-70% of all android phones according to some surveys), so there should be very few drivers to update/fine tune? Am I wrong?

You definitely are right about that but Samsung loves to wait months to give us a beta and sometimes they dont even do that

Got that right about Samsung being Slow and then we have to wait on AT&T for another few Months for them to get all their Junk to work with Update. Wish more were like Apple with their updates.

Well I guess you realize that updates for Apple only a has to contend with 1 device. Whereas Android must accommodate countless devices.
Hey guys!
I don't know if you already heard it but the Galaxy S6 lineup will probably receive Android 8.0. Many Samsung employees confirmed that and there is already a leaked list of devices which will get the update. Today I noticed that not only the S6 was mentioned on that list... the Galaxy Tab S2 will probably receive the update as well! In my opinion it is really great to see that the first premium devices from Samsung will get another update
What do you think?

I wouldn't get too excited. That list is just devices that could potentially run Oreo. It does not mean they will actually get the update. There's a good few on there that I'm certain wont. Would you really think the Tab series would get Oreo when they didn't even get nougat or Marshmallow?

I made the same mistake when I saw it the first time?
Maybe we will get Samsung Experience 9.0 with the update. It would be very great to get some S8/S9 UI feauters
If Samsung's track record holds of two major version updates per flagship device, the 2016 Tab S2 should get Oreo. The 2015 may or may not - I guess it depends on whether Sammy is feeling generous.
I'm not sure who would hope their device doesn't get the update? While it's possible Samsung could pull an Apple stunt and kill performance with an Oreo update, that generally hasn't been an issue. In reality, it will just be security patches and support for newer apps. The days of new Android versions bringing sea changes of improvements appear to be in the past.

I agree Samsung seem to give 2 major updates to their flagships and higher spec devices.
The S2(2) should get Oreo. I'd say unlikely the S2(1)will see it.
As a 2015 owner, all I want for the last major update is a stable build without any major bugs. From then on, I'd just like the same build with the security updates. The current Nougat is pretty solid but the screen brightness does keep going up and down on some occasions.
i would love to see something for the 819N, i mean there isn't even any custom roms for that version of the tablet, i hope at least samsung goes oreo for it.

Probably 2016 model can hope for it because it has been shipped with 6.0 and also is not sure...but 2015 model should kill the idea because has been shipped with 5.0.1. Even if we could run oreo Sammy will never give a third major update to a 2015 device, even if the only difference between 2015 and 2016 is the CPU (correct me if i'm wrong)
I think it's crazy how Samsumg abandons its own products. I can understand their budget devices getting updates, but this is their only tablet line. Not to mention they were selling these for $400+ a pop (i got mine out of a pricing error for $200 though).
Just shows you that iPad should be the only tablet product to purchase from here on out... I think the last year and a couple months I've owned this it's been updated a whopping 3 times! Never again will I buy Samsung.

How do you mean their only tablet line? There's also the Tab A, Tab E, Tab pro, plus older Tab 2, 3, 4 etc.
Why couldn't samsung simply rip out the spen junk from the note rom and release it on our phones?
Because they're working on Oreo

That's not a valid excuse, 7.1 came out in oct 2016, 7 months later the s8 was released with an os that came out in august 2016.
These are not midrange phones, we deserve better.

So what is your complaint exactly? You're angry about the fact that we didn't get a rom then, even though we're getting the latest version now? You knew about it, bought it, then came here to complain about it 7 months or so afterwards?
What was so important that changed from 7.0 to 7.1? I have a feeling you're just looking to whine about anything possible
My complaint is pretty clear, not sure why you can't see it.
When Android 7.1 was released, it was seen as a Nexus/Pixel exclusive with pixel-only exclusives. It's more surprising that the Note 8 did come with Android 7.1 than the S8 not getting an update. Most skinned manufacturers decided early on to skip 7.1 in favor of 8.0
Why didn't we get 6.1?
Samsung releases the major builds and frequent updates. We don't need stuff that's more suited for a pixel. If you're that concerned, buy a pixel.

Sorry I should have been more clear and misunderstood. By the time that 8.1 was out development on 8 would have already started.
Short answer. Do you seriously expect them to complile thousands of packages all over again for a version that changes basically nothing, only to do it all over again 2 months later for a major release?

Yes, that's their job, they dont get to take a year off after compiling one version of android. If they can release x.1 updates on the note they can do the same on the s8.

I was on the line with samsung+ and they told me that there are planning to release oreo for the tab s2,tab s3,galaxy s6 line,galaxy s7 line,galaxy s8 line as well as some other devices. Now this is NOT,and I wanted to get this clear,NOT 100% CONFIRMATION that tab s2 is getting oreo,they could change their minds about this,this isn't a press release,it's just samsung+ customer support,because I knew some people were gonna point out this isn't reliable but just wanted to let people know that tab s2 has a good chance of getting oreo

I found this post to be very useful. Here's hoping it's true and Oreo will make its way to myTab S2!
According to Sammobile, the Tab S2 is still on the "may or may not get Android 8.0" list. I doubt will ever get an official announcement from Samsung. It will either just show up one day or a year from now we can finally give up hope. There appears to be a fairly stable version of LineageOS 15.1 for those that can't (or don't want to) wait.

The latest info from XDA https://www.xda-developers.com/list-samsung-galaxy-android-oreo-update/
The S2 is not on the list for Oreo update. I'm inclined to believe this.
Last security patch August 2017, think about that...
The S7 is still patched sometimes.

Yes, That would be the 719 IIRC, I've seen that there is an unofficial build now, but from the looks of it the microphone and/or calling is non functional. Maybe I'll try it in a few weeks, would be amazing just to have 8.1 vanilla on there.
Yeah, I'm interested into getting a Tab S2 8.0. The ones selling online nowadays are mostly the T719.
There's an unofficial Lineage ROM for it now, but the phone speaker and mic aren't working. But if we could just use a Bluetooth headset to mitigate this problem, then I'm OK with it, cos I'd much prefer the Lineage ROM.
I've posted this question in the Lineage ROM thread, but no one replied so far. Has anyone succeeded in using a Bluetooth headset with it?

BT calling does not work, too.
But Samsung does not have any newer medium sized tablet than the S2 8.0. There is no S3 8.0. So why shouldnt they update this device. Or there will be a small S3...

Meh, I doubt we will get Oreo.
Samsung usually pushes out 2 major updates at most, and we already got 2 major updates (Marshmallow and Nougat).

The 2016 S2 shipped with Marshmallow, so I'm not sure that counts as an update. However, I don't entirely disagree with your overall point because of the tablet's age - even the newer S2 is hitting the 2 year mark, which usually means the end of the line for support.
