@LipekI think they are rolling it out in stages. You may just have to be patient I think....Sorry..:smileywink:

If you got it from carphone warehouse, you will have to wait for the UK unlocked version to roll out.

If it’s an o2 branded handset then you will have to wait until google releases it to o2 for testing & then o2 will fully test it & add their bloatware to it before releasing it to their android devices

O2 have already approved it  and started the roll out last Thursday.
As already stated, there is no generic uk firmware available yet.

I would advise against upgrading to Oreo just yet. I did so on Thursday and it's caused me nothing but problems.

The battery drains fast and the performance is sluggish. But most annoyingly, it seems to have messed up the sensors for the upper part of my screen.

The drop down task bar, when swiping down, seems to randomly choose if it will fully or not at all. On occasion it will take me to the "Search Applications" screen.

Thinking that a full reset should resolve any issues being experienced (as it normally does), has now resulted in the sensors being a further problem and unresponsive. I can no longer delete surplus screens, remove apps and widgets from the screens and I can not use the search and options in the menu.

DO NOT UPGRADE TO OREO!

Useful advice.

Sounds more like a hardware fault on the sensor board to me.

Does it not have the pull down at different points for different actions or is that just on my custom rom?

[viridis]

That sounds custom, stock should be standard two stage pull down.
