22 Nov firmware update got me bugs

After yesterday's update, I can't set a default sim card for calls and messages. And can't set lock screen wallpaper same as home screen. I am guessing there are more bugs to surface. How to resolve these issues?

no way to resolve them, oneplus really screwed us here lol. people may tell you to install garbage third party dialers or default sim override apps which cost money which is ridiculous. up to you if you want to experiment.

Wallpaper - set the one you want for lockscreen to your homescreen. Than set it as lockscreen and switch back your Homescreen.

hmm i have no bugs as yours. best way to fix that is to factory reset

Yep that's the answer. Erase all your data lol.

Response from Oneplus on twitter:
"We've received feedback that some users have experienced issues with sim selection, however, this may be fixed in the future update"

It is probably the software that your phone downloaded. Download the 2.1.2 firmware here in XDA, and it flash it to the device. lol

Bluetooth based handsfree is only partialy functioning on multiple cars. Yes, you can dial and receive calls. No addressbook, no Bluetooth DUN, SMS download working sometimes.
And yes, that dual sim default selection for calls is not working too...

Same issue. Only one SIM card will connect at a time. - after rooted .zip update via TWRP.

October firmware update [NMF26X.N950USQU2BQJA]

I received an OTA today. Like 377 MB.
It looks like a new bootloader as well. Didn't come with a change log, but below is the informative after the update. NMF26X.N950USQU2BQJA

Yes it is new bootloader. I expect this for around 2 weeks now. Seems like it is little harder to flash anything on this bootloader.
On Edge of Note

Yeah I'm installing it now myself.

Updated mine but facial recognition is now not working. Under settings, I see under Screen Lock Type I still have password, Face and Fingerprints as an option but "Face Recognition" is now grayed out. If I go into the Screen Lock Type setting, Face shows the switch to the right but that option is grayed out as well and can't be changed.

Might want to try going to lock screen and security settings then go to other security settings and clear credentials. I haven't had that same problem since I updated today so I haven't tried it on this phone but it worked on another Android device that I have when it greyed out Security Options.

So nothing new or worth updating for?

What's changing: Network performance enhancements, stability improvements, other various updates and fixes, and Android device security updates, including KRACK Wi-Fi vulnerability fix and BlueBorne fix (on SPLs September 1 or later)
I'd say that the KRACK fix itself is a good reason to update.

Happened to me a few minutes ago. Don't do factory reset yet. Use ADB to uninstall the app created by substratum.

apparently all that does is clear your saved certificates. I have been able to disable face scan by turning on iris but that doesn't work so well with my glasses. Face recognition is my preference but I can't seem to get it to enable after update.

Shoot! I couldn't wait around anymore without my phone not working and did a factory reset through recovery.... UGH woke up was all restored and I forgot NOT to restore substratum and was back to system ui errors so here I go again restoring without substratum... I'm nervous to reinstall substratum again!

Anytime you do an OTA the Substratum app developers suggest uninstalling all of the themes. Nothing is broke on the device it's just causing an issue with seeing the home screen/settings.
This is also why using ADB to uninstall the layers would fix the issue.
Just for future reference for everyone.

Has anyone noticed the security update breaks YouTube's crop to fit button. My button is missing now. I do have it to auto fit set but that doesn't work wither.

Not working on mine

Do anybody have problem with making and receiving calls ? When I try to make call phone app drops in 1 sec. When someone try to call me they are forwarded to voice mail. I experience this on 2 of my Notes 8 after update.

Downloading N950USQS2BQK2 VZW Firmware...going to upload it tomorrow...

What's the difference between N950USQU2BQJA and N950USQS2BQK2 ? I just got the first update 2 days ago and just got the second one just now. But can't find any information on it.

Im wondering the same thing.. An update a day after the other update? Sounds like someone broke something or did an Oopsie.

First update had the October security update and camera enhancements, the second update is the November security update.

Unfortunately, the update borked my phone -- I just get a black screen with a message "System UI has stopped" -- when I click it off the screen, it comes back a second later. I saw in another forum that perhaps substratum is the culprit -- anyone have any ideas on a fix? I know that the phone is working to some degree, my Huawei watch is still connected and I get notifications on it. But I can't really access the phone at all, only black screen and error messages. Also, I have tried safe mode and I get the same issue -- which tells me that it shouldn't be a substratum issue since safe mode deactivated 3rd party apps, but who knows? Thanks in advance.

A lot of issues with sustratum and latest build...not sure but I think most are rebooting to recovery and clearing cache...but there are several posts about it if you search

I had the same issue like u after the update. if u do have a substratum theme installed then that's most likely your issue. Luckily for me I had usb debugging on and I was able to adb and uninstall the theme systemui by running these command through adb.
adb shell
pm uninstall com.android.systemui.SwiftDark.Android7SamsungS8

Can you tell me the keywords? Have tried to search and I'm not finding anything. Not rooted, so don't think I have recovery.

Search "OTA sustratum" or remove sustratum but from within Note 8 forums....or just substratum

Official OREO has rolled out

Use BK Disabler and clear the data for Software Update. You should be able to check again. I believe you can only check once every 24 hours or so. Good Luck.

I just used Odin to go back to nougat and as soon as I could get to my settings I was able to get the OTA.

Easiest way to keep checking is to advance your phone's clock ahead one day then try again. Just remember to turn the auto clock detection setting back on.

Mine did that as well for months. My last update was when I bought the phone back in Nov. I did the update.zip method and used Smart Switch to backup all to MicroSD card.

Received this update today without needing to change the date. Running nicely so far, just wish the gif keyboard wasn't removed for us.

I have it on mine as you can see in this screenshot. When I heard the update was coming today, I factory reset before I took it. When it booted up, it updated during the setup process.
Edit: wait, are we talking about the same thing? Do you mean the feature where you can draw a gif message?

Not the live message, I have that. There is a gif option on the keyboard from other carriers. For some reason AT&T left it out.

In developers options there is the ability to change Bluetooth Audio Codec to SBC (default) to Aptx, Ldac, etc. If you change that it doesnt stick and it resets itself to SBC. Bummer.
Also the only option that does seem to seem concerning Bluetooth and Developers Options is Bluetooth AVRCP Version. AVRCP 1.4 is default but changing to AVRCP 1.6 seems to stick.

Meant to post this last night. Here's screenshots of my for full use of the OTA Oreo. I'm a teacher on spring break so I messed around with it a lot yesterday getting all my settings and apps set up.

So I decided to try the Samsung Experience 9. The badge number for Gmail isn't showing the proper numbers. Anything beyond one unread email shows some stupid huge numbers, such as 4 unread email, but the badge showed 169 ... LOL So, this is still buggy.

Yeah this is the only thing about the new update that is bugging me. The badge numbers can be way off. Other than that I am really enjoying the new update and my phone is so fast now.

Don't know what's worse... badges with wrong numbers or badges that don't come on at all. I get none at all. And I even factory reset before I took the update. I got no clue, even after spending tons of time digging through settings

July Security Update

Just received and installed July Security Update (~30mb)

I received it too. Fortunately it flashed successfully, i don't feel any changes maybe a little smoother.

I receivet it to, Serbia, 30 mb. I think that there are no changes.

If it takes 2 more days to get it out, they could call it the August security patch...

Only visible change was that the feedback app was redesigned
