Android 8 Oreo Rolling Out Now

[anthgav]

Just discovered Oreo is rolling out. Downloading it now. Has anyone else installed it yet?

Got the notification last night, downloaded and installed this morning.

Downloaded last night. Hate the new round icons. They look like a mentally challenged person's attempt to clone the iOS icons. I wish I could go back to 7. Much more classy looking icons.

Can't you change the icons in the theme editor in the settings. I use Nova Launcher so haven't noticed the icon change.

I'm in the UK on non branded phone direct from HTC, I'm using the Three network.

Three network is a boss.

@anthgav I know you probably just finished downloading and restarting but what are your initial impressions?


Did the turning on animation change?

 

[anthgav]

Not 100% sure if the turning on animation changed. There seems to be a lot of changes to power management. One of my gripes on my HTC 10 was I couldn't add a shortcut for NFC to the quick access buttons in the notifications area. I had to always go into the phone settings to turn it on and off. They fixed that in Android 8.

That's a good thing.

I updated mine about a week ago, instantly noticed the battery usage was alot higher, completed a factory reset and the battery-life is still alot worse that it was with 7,

The weird thing was even after a reset the percentage usage doesn't match with the items that have used it in the battery settings. I can be down 10% and the apps listed only add up to about 4% or 5% usage.

Anyone else noticed this?

If you touch one of the apps that has a used percentage in the battery settings it says inside that it's a percentage of total app usage. So it's a percentage of the battery used so far for apps only.
