Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ - Android Pie + One UI update

daern — Wed, 27 Feb 2019 14:57:47 GMT

It seems that this update is starting to roll out globally now, including within other countries in Europe.

Is there any timeline for when this is likely to be approved for release by O2? I understand that it will take a little longer than for other networks as O2 perform their own testing, but it would be interesting to get some idea of how long this process might take...

Thanks in advance!

The Android Pie update for O2 S8 devices started rolling out from Jan 25th, so you should have it. Did you get your device direct from O2, or from a 3rd party such as CPW?

EDIT/UPDATE/APOLOGY - The above date was wrong and was for the S9 Pie update. The S8 Pie update was approved 28th Feb and should be rolling out imminently. See updated post here.

Hi @Chris_K, got mine direct from O2 (on a refresh contract) no update for me, I have tried manual searching but no joy.

Hi, i have the S8 on a refresh direct from o2 too, and there's no pie update for me either @Chris_K

I did do a search, and so far only another competing network seems to have the pie update available in the uk, and this is via multiple sources.. just adding what i know to the table

Quick edit.. i took a look at the notices section of the samsung members app on my phone(samsung account needed), and it shows that the S8/S8+ are only just being updated in march. Sorry if i seem like i'm being horrible chris, but i think you're mistaken about pie being available since january..

Hey all,

Wanted to apologise and give another update. First, the apology - my previous response got the dates mixed up... 25th Jan was for the S9 Pie/One UI update.

For the S8, the Pie/One UI update was approved and returned to Samsung last Thursday, 28th Feb, so we expect Samsung to make this available to O2 S8 customers soon... Once we approve something, it typically takes around 1-2 weeks, though can differ by a few days here and there.

My apologies for any confusion and frustration with my date mix up guys :'(

Thanks Chris, this seems a much speedier update than Oreo.

Indeed!

We got notice from Samsung this morning that the Note 9 Pie/One UI update went live yesterday, and the S8 Pie/One UI update has gone live today. And for the Note 8 users, I got my Pie/One UI update week commencing 18th Feb - so for all S8, S9, Note 8 & Note 9 users, you should now have access to it.

Have a fab week all!

Hello

So I have the S8 on the O2 network (purchased privately and use this on my corporate account which is on the O2 network)

Still running Android 7.0 and the Samsung Experience version 8.1 on the software version G950XXU1AQDD

Does anyone know when this phone /version /account can expect an update to 9.0 Pie?

Android 9 was released at the beginning of March for your device but you are about 12 updates behind so your phone must have been flashed manually at some point which has disabled OTA updates.
