OREO is coming !!! - Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Official oreo update will come to S6 Edge+, it is confirmed by samsung, ETA is unknown, but at least we will receive it.

Seriously, very good if it's true!

of course not ...

ooohhhh yeahhhh

might be a lie because Samsung have not said anything yet, but i hope its true so i can keep my phone for a longer time

would you give us a link or something ? where did you find this information? this is a pointless thread.

There is no way we will get official Oreo.

I think the same

More like WINTER IS COMING
It sounds too good to be true.
Evan if it is, we're gona'a have to wait for it.
A Samsung representative from Europe told me that Galaxy S8 will be receiving Android8 in march or april.
It's marketing cause at the WMC 2018 in Barcelona Galaxy S9 will debout and from a marketing standpoint it has to be the first to have Oreo.
So maybe we'll get it in May or may never
BTW Hello World! Hello Everybody! Niceto meet You @LL

We all hope so, but I think chances are 50:50 and we will for sure be the last phone that gets it if we do.

Well, OREO is NOT COMING!

Why you have to spam whole forum ?

Not spam, that message is inportant (everybody was so waiting for that news) and I post this info in only 2 topics, so don't be so rude. You can surley understand it. We're all in this together! We love our S6E+ and we would love to receive an official OREO update bro. So chillax!

Get Galaxy S Updates from twitter

Not sure about you guys but I only use twitter for news/tech updates.
Since a twitter account doesn't exist for galaxy s updates I figured I would make one.
https://twitter.com/TheGalaxyS
I'll be trying to keep up to date with all the galaxy s news and post updates as often as I can.
The updates I will post will be about application tweaks, firmware updates, rom news, sim unlock etc...
Updates will include all of the galaxy s phones.
Galaxy S I9000, Vibrant, and the Captivate.
If there are updates that i've either missed or you think they're very important, just tweet back at me, or email [email protected]
Pretty sure Samsung Mobile has this covered, but the more the better
link?
I'm sure there are a lot of things that samsung can't post for legal reasons.
Are you 12? If so this is really cute. If not, this is kinda sad...

whys it sad?
because I'm using twitter?
I love being able to check twitter and see small news updates for various things, its like a more customizable RSS feed.
There wasn't one so I made one...its nice being able to see if the galaxy s has been unlocked without having to check the site daily.

I applaud you for being an ass to someone that is trying to help out the community.
Good idea OP. Samsung won't be tweeting about hacks and tweaks in their Twitter so I'm glad you will keep up with this.
OP, if you'll keep me updated on larger-scale ROM news (like CM finding its way to the Vibrant/Captivate), Galaxy S firmware updates, and the like without spamming me, I will gladly follow you and set your updates to go to my phone as well.
I find myself mainly reading this forum because I'm waiting for a custom ROM or FroYo to pop out on the Vibrant before I buy one.

thats what I'm waiting for, that and sim unlock.
And you don't have to worry about getting 'spammed' by me.
I don't care about gaining followers at all, I just figured that there are a lot of other people looking for the same things as me.
Great idea! Thanks!

Yeah, that one post was extreme.
I should have read the op closer last night, didn't see the other things mentioned.
I assume you follow cyanogen, wes, and the whole crew to get updated yourself?
I went to see Inception last night (WOW), so, my brain was not 100% here.

No problem, and i agree, all existing threads should consolidated or something. Hopefully there'll be no need for that if Google stops teasing us & releases 2.3 already.

actually they are teasing with us. they just dont bother their sorry ass to give a proper release date. they just dont even care about to give out an spesifications about the new system. nothing. just some fake news also new screenshots could be fake too. we simply dont know anything about new update. 4 example is the new crappy youtube app staying? what about horrible keyboard?
it just could be stupid update without any new features. also it could be something revolutionary like eclair. but we already knew them BEFORE the eclair released. were just waiting for google's jokes if whole gingerbread is just about some stupid skin and stuff.

Please tell me english isn't your native language, I'll totally understand then. Anyhow Google have 0 commitment to providing us with pre-release info. It's *UNRELEASED* therefore they could deny the existence of GB itself and are completely within their right to do so. These little bits of info like not so secretive tweets are just a bit of fun, surely I'm not the only one who likes the suspense/surprise regarding the lack of GB info?

HASHTAG FOR TWITTER: #NeverAgain * Update: Froyo OTA 1/21 - Source within 60 days *

EDIT: Well, some will say this effort had no impact, others will not be so naive and realize the voices of MANY of you were heard. Really applaud everyone... regardless if it helped or not, Samsung has stated that they have heard us AND that it's something they are not used to, but will make an effort... I feel like this is success.
OTA should start tomorrow. Source should be released very shortly after that:
http://opensource.samsung.com/
THANK YOU ALL FOR HELPING!!!
For those not certain why this thread was created: PLEASE READ
--------------------------------INITIAL POST BELOW------------------------
I generally remain calm and try and remain upbeat and defend... but the news (rumor/leak) about Samsung holding off the froyo release to sell more phones set me over the edge.
While nothing is confirmed, I still believe Samsung needs to be aware of just how pissed they are making our community. I'm not talking stupid class action, blah blah... I simply want our voice heard, and for a Froyo release to happen ASAP... but beyond that, I want them to adhere to the Open Handset Alliance and release their source for our developers.
http://www.openhandsetalliance.com/
I believe we all now who is going to put out a better product, and right now they (our developers) are handicapped because they do not have everything they need.
That said, we need to be organized!
We need twitter to trend AND we need to spread it all over Facebook! I am ignorant and have no interest in learning Facebook. I know the majority of you use it daily so I am going to rely on you guys for that!
To do this on twitter, we all need to use the same #hashtag. We also need to threaten something that means something to them... the whole problem is they are not updating to help with their sales (allegedly). Well, we need to threaten to never buy Samsung again.
Please use this #Hashtag:
#NeverAgain
would work.... it is easy to use, short and to the point.
An example: (just copy/paste this if you like)
[email protected] & @Samsungtweets I will never buy a Samsung product after the way you've treated your customers. #NeverAgain

Yes, a vacation of 3 months, hehe!
Sent from the helm of Vibrant Territory!
Awesome, please do what you can people... the whole point is to be organized, make it trend on twitter and Samsung will be forced to respond. Maybe that is why I am so upset, they have not made any effort to debunk these rumors.
I personally am tired of defending them...
Do u suggest I keep saying it or just like once a day?
to be most effective, I think you should post this is all US galaxy s variant forums. Fascinate, Epic, Captivate, and the other one or two. Get all US Galaxy S users to do this too!
btw, i dont have a twitter account or have ever used it. any suggestions on how to post your message once i create a twitter account?
EDIT: i just set up a twitter account, how do i post that hashtag to samsung?
Creating an account is super easy (and the best way to keep up with our developers). Once you have the account created, just PM me if you need help.... you could just copy/paste what I have in the OP if you like.
#NeverAgain... waiting for a dual core HTC on TMO then dumping the vibrant...
I would never ever imagine this coming from you but you actually did a pretty good thread. I don't think it would make diffrence, people aren't going to follow up, XDA is a small portion of all samsung phones.
Like someone said samsung is known for their eletronics that are release as is, no follow up update. As big as they are they become greedy. Its a company out out for money, "making a new phone with new software" will get the most sales.
If they give us froyo now it will drop their new phone sales dramactecly (spelling). Because an old phone will be cheaper then a new phone The vibrant 4G isnt really a big update besides the FFC and HSPA+. Thereby the orignal vibrant.will get.bought.
Another thing to think about is when the vibrant 4G/plus gets out we will not get froyo right away, maybe a month after.

1. Download .kdz
2. Use uppercut method
3. Then wipe your data, because most likely your Oreo data won't be compatible with Nougat anymore.
