Hey, vwgti83! I know you're looking forward to this update, and I'm sorry you've been waiting. Updates are rolled in batches, so not all users receive them on the SW release date. That said, snn555 is correct. There are a few known issues with this 8.0 release, and users who've updated are waiting for a SW patch. We haven't heard of the update being pulled back at this point, but we'll update here if we find anything out in that regard.

Thanks for the advice, but even being on android 7.1.1 i am recieving
texting issues with the stock messenger app, I had to get textra to make it
work.
Also recieving issues of dropping wifi calling sporadically, and the fix is
to disable and re-enable wifi and it reconnects. I hope these issues get
resolved at some point.

We're definitely crossing our fingers for a fix as well, and we've been making sure to report issues to the manufacturer who is providing the update. Keep an eye out and hopefully there will be a fix soon!

A new release dropped on the 16th of February. Version 27.1. I am hoping to be added to a batch soon so I can test this out. Keep checking daily...

Okay seriously, what does one need to do to get added to the list? I know the hamster powering the update server is begging you guys to push the update to me already so I can leave it alone. There is no excuse for a flagship level phone to be 6 months behind on security patches; none!

I received the Oreo update a few days ago. I wish I had not been on the list. THere are several spots where I had nice coverage - both phone and data. After the update, the exact same spots (my desk at work) now have no cell coverage at all. At the moment, the z2 Force is a paperweight. I had to put the S8+ back in service. Z2 Force and s8+ side by side on my desk. Z2 no cell service. S8+ 3 bars. There are some places where the Z2 works just fine - coverage is good for both. Not sure if it's the T-Mobile Bands that are causing the issue.
