So I just got the update notification on my 4G Tab S2 region code XID (Indonesia). F/W is on SamMobile as well, and would have installed it if my battery wasn't running low. Will report back soon!
so far it is exactly what I expected - GS7 software on a tablet. Great battery and none of the performance issues the first gen Tab S had when first receiving Lollipop.

Actually, battery life became worse on this update. I lose 1% of battery life in under 3 minutes without doing anything, my tab was just idle in the home screen.

That's fairly standard I'd say.

But that didn't happen when I was still running Lollipop :/
I've noticed the battery drain too. It's not way worse, but it is slightly quicker at getting rid of charge. Has anyone noticed any other genuine changes? Apart from the lighter colour to the drop-down menu it seems basically identical.

Battery definitely drains faster in this update. It would take me 7-10mins for me to lose 1% of battery life in Lollipop. But now it would take me 3-5mins to lose 1% of battery life. I'm considering right now to go back to Lollipop to be honest, I can't stand this battery performance.
Other changes I've seen was the boot, it uses the S7 boot animation and there wasn't a boot startup sound.
Are many still waiting for the update?
Is everyone experiencing the rapid batter drain.
No update here.
Shofar
Charging time estimate seems to be gone from notif dropdown (no charging notif at all) and lock screen (just says charging, no more x hours x minutes until full)
Marshmallow works fine. The battery issues were and will always be there for first few days till the firmware settles in.
One problem i faced was not audio output on one of my bose earphones. I still get the output on an older pair. The new ones work fine with every other device including a note 5. Just not this tab. Any suggestions to make it work ?
Are there many of you still without MM?
More than a week and still nothing.
Is it simple to install from Sam Mobile?
Getting frustrated with Samsung.

Hopefully the battery issues are just temporary just like what you said, I am getting tired of this battery drain. This never existed in Lollipop.
About your earphones, maybe the Tab doesn't recognize it?
I guess I'll wait. Lollipop is not so bad....

The main reason why I stayed on lollipop with my tab s2 and Glad i turned automatic updates off....I learned my lesson when I put marshmallow on my galaxy s6 edge plus and the battery life was terrible....
Is there adaptable storage on mm?

I upgraded from nexus 7 to the T715Y galaxy tab s2 8". Solid device, battery performance less than optimal, software updates non existant. The nexus still gets monthly security patching and got the android 6 OTA update in short order. Now 18 July and despite indonesia, panama, phillipines and other neighbours in asia having this update, still no word from Samsung. Tried Kies, side sync and OTA update button mashing... nothing.
In fact Kies said there was an update, which i installed, wiping my tablet to get .. you guessed it, the same darn version i had. 5.0.2. Would recommend the tablet if not for the lack of security and software updates.
Still waiting in Australia
Edit: finally got it about a week ago
Hi everyone.
I'm interested in buying the p10 plus. The only problem is that i am worried about the battery life. I have heard negative things about the battery life. Currently i am using s7 edge which gets good battery life. I average about 6 hours screen on time with my s7 edge. What i have read online mostly states the p10 plus averaging around 4 hours screen on time. If anyone is coming from the s7 edge please compare the battery life and for those who aren't can you tell me what you average on screen on time.
Thank you from now
Dunno I used a Z3C and a Note 4. The P10 Plus performs really well, and you should never forget the ultra-super-fast charging which trumps Samsung in every way. tl;dr: I would not be worried. It also uses no PWM (no flicker like Samsung), and it's an LCD, so no burn-in like AMOLED. Best of all worlds.
It's too early to say something as I have it for few days yet, but battery seems good so far. During one heavy usage day I got 4h15min screen on time, but used navigation quite a lot. At least it compares to my Nexus 6p back in the good days. Hope to get it back from RMA soon But overall P10 Plus made an impression to me.
If you guys post screen on times it would be highly appreciated
5-6 hours DOT are very well possible.
Yes 5-6 hours sot,with 1 hour gaming and 1 hour browsing,some YouTube, Facebook, WhatsApp.
Almost 5 hours DOT and still 37% battery left, after mostly browsing, watching YouTube and some TV shows

I don't think it will be a great deal. Maybe hardware faulty
Been waiting 6 weeks already for these promised updates. Being on b110 is probably why my battery just drains away during standby.

I used Funkyhuawei. European version.
Anyone try and test the new firmware: DQEF (with May security patch)?
Wonder any differences bring it in S7E like the battery drain, system and camera performance... and also for the bugs in Nougat.
My S7E is from France (XEF)
Using DQEF since about two weeks but don't notice much of a difference compared to DQD.
I hope to have battery life like the old Android 6 (APC, APD firmwares). If nothing changes, no neeed to uptade it.
Thanks for reply.

For me N is better than MM regarding battery life... however, I do not see any alternative to an upgrade as APD has security patch of April, 2016.
This update made my s7 edge go totally downhill. The phone couldnt last me even 21 hours and required charging it. The only improvement i got was the phone became very snappy. Reverted back to DQAF. How is it holding up for you?
Hi,
I'm having some problems with EMUI 8.0 on my BND-AL10 device.
1. Lag / Frame drops : While scrolling through Chrome new tab page, changing tabs and in Clash of Clans, I feel it is sluggish as if it is running at 20 fps. It does that everytime. Changing the resolution from FHD+ to HD+ also doesn't help. I have restarted the device multiple times.
2. Battery Life and Charging time : Battery Life has become significantly lower, it gives much lower SOT. Charging time has also increased a lot, it took around 4 hours while using the device.
Does anyone else have this problem? Has anyone tried a factory reset after the update? Does factory reset solve the problem?
Thank you.

Maybe give it some time a week or 2 to optimize all apps and the system. Battery life should be better with time

Check which build number you have with your current update.
If it's AL10 8.0.0.310, then rest assured, one more update is coming with build number ending in .320.
After updating from Nougat to Oreo, I can say that Oreo has improved the performance and battery life significantly in my device, yesterday I had 7H SOT while travelling. It's the best I've got in this device.
You can try a reset coupled with clearing cache from the recovery.
Agree with the charging time, it's about 3.5 to 4 hours charging time in my phone too.

I've read in Honor Clubs that the build number I mentioned (ending with .310) has some problems. You didn't mention it earlier so I assumed you might have that build.
I've the same build number as yours right now (ending in .320) and I'm not facing any problem instead I've noticed a significant increase in performance and battery life.
I guess a reset might solve the problem.

I'm very sorry. I was messing up 3 with 8.
We have the same build. And no problems in Chrome. Steaming, browsing and downloading, I do them all and haven't faced any lag yet.
I'm sorry again for the mistake.

No problem. So, it must be a problem with only my device.
Thanks.
Also, you should probably hide your IMEI number.

My phone overall feels better than Nougat (I have the Mate SE), but there's a few apps that seem like the performance has degraded...My Google photos is borderline unusable due to the lag....I don't know what they did, but I hope someone fixes the issue. The Stock gallery app is much slower too (Touch sensitivity)
When going into the Google app, and clicking on Google assistant "settings" and "explore", it pops up and immediately disappears. Can't access Google assistant settings. .330 build

Google Photos and the gallery app both run smoothly for me. My issue is only with browsers (mostly Chrome) and Clash of Clans (other games run fine).
BTW apps open faster in Oreo than Nougat for me.
I have Bnd-L24 8.0.0.330 and Oreo was installed today.
Android 7 was blazing fast on my phone but with Oreo I too feel it slower than it was. I'm going to give it a couple days. It might need some time to settle.

I haven't experienced any issues so far and updated yesterday. Face unlock seems to works well. Maybe not so well in poor lighting. No touch issues no lag. Plan on doing a factory rest tomorrow and starting fresh. Will test battery life and SOT. I use YouTube vanced and PIP mode works well. No connectivity issues with wifi. Bluetooth seems to connect faster than it did on Nougat. Over all really happy with the update. Just waiting for fireware images and warranty to be up before I root. With Nova Launcher no real need for custom rom although I kind of want to try LOS 15.1, have it on my Nexus 5 and love it. But so far the Honor 7x has been a solid phone.

Excellent Review Of 8.0 !
Thanks.. :good:
But Stop It!
You're tempting me on this beautiful lazy Saturday afternoon to do my full wipe and install it before I move on to a Snapdragon 636 Engine device... And I don't want to do that.. I wanted to save that thrill for the new owner !
I had speed and smoothness issues after Oreo update on my Mate SE. Factory reset has fixed all issues and phone is smoother than it has ever been. Camera boots faster, scrolling smoother, longer battery life than before. If you're having issues, factory reset, you won't regret.
Update here.
After a day or so of letting Oreo update settle down, phone is running smoothly. So no complains here.
Great work honor. Feeling happy again

Hi,
I have been using this phone for a year now. I really feel we got more preformance after oreo. The phone is pretty smooth after all the hassle. I do think we lost a bit screen on time with the os update. I feel that is many times the price of getting more speed. Anyway i tried for a while my G4 rooted + optimized. My conclusion is that optimized + sabs and non rooted s7 edge is really fast phone. I see no lag. I feel this phone has a year left in it and thats actually impressive knowing its 2,5 years old.
I tried Oreo without factory reset. My experience was that some of the apps did not function well. So i did the factory reset and all works now. I think its only smart move after os update. Now i will just clear system cache after minor fixes.
The last as good deal was lg g2 to me. Love your phone still its in the competition with never phones. After year i bet we see improvements that will make many of us consider changing to a next generation of phones.
Btw. Did anyone else get the stability update after oreo? What do you guys think of it? My feel is that now almost 100% is working and smooth as a butter.

I have moved back to nougat and stayed there for now, i did not mind the cell drain as it still lasted me all day, however i had random reboots as soon as i moved to official Oreo or even custom rom with 8.0 base, did not matter what i did the reboots would get worse over time. I moved back to nougat and not one reboot experienced, Oreo for me is good when it worked and would love to use it but drove me crackers when rebooting. SM-G935F

This is actually intresting. My phone did random screen freeze and couple of reboots in nougat, but on Oreo that is not happening to me.
But i do definetly have the cell drain still after the last update. I kind of woke up by the fact that i have lost about 1h screen on time. Yes i am a heavy user so thats the first que for something is eating the battery.
What kind of cycle your battery lasts average and how is your SOT on nougat? My is average 27hours on time hours and sot 5-6 hours

I am unable to advise you on SOT as i don't monitor this, i am running a custom rom with nougat base (Sac23 S8 port) i have a battery life of between 29 and 32 hours, never really goes past 40% remaining at the end of the day.
