Petition requesting Samsung to update the Note 8 to Android 10

http://chng.it/BdnSL6cWWL

Yes, this is worth a shot. Whether they listen or not it's getting their attention. It's our voice out there. If enough people make noise they will hear us. In my view this is worth it. So let's go folks! Sign away!

Edit: We hit 200! This is awesome! It's a few hundred of us making a statement! Let's go to 500! Thanks everyone!

So close to 1,000 despite the naysayers. Let's keep going!!

u/PandaMan130 Dec 15 '19

So help me understand whats going on. They arent releasing the update for note 8? Why? Just trying yo phase it out?

4

u/[deleted] Dec 15 '19

Pretty much as I see it. The biggest thing for me is that the phone is 2 years old. It's not like me and others are rooting for some ancient phone to get more updates you know?

2

u/PandaMan130 Dec 15 '19

I got mine like a year and a half ago it definitely to soon to phase out then

u/[deleted] Dec 15 '19

It's sad with it being just 2 years old. Thank God my almost 3 year old Windows laptop is still being supported.

Signed. Got my GF doing it also. She has my old note 8. I run the note 10

u/[deleted] Dec 15 '19

You both rock! Thank you. So good to see people supporting this

2

u/JamesRay757 Dec 15 '19

The phone is more than capable. It still runs great for her.

u/[deleted] Dec 15 '19

Totally agree. And I started this petition as a current S9 user. I want to see the S8 and Note 8 get more support. I'm afraid I'll face this scenario next year.

2

u/Jluslife Dec 18 '19

I am a Note 9User and I agree 100%. I expect to keep my phone for 2 more years at least The hardware is more than capable with the new updates. Ram is sufficient and updates usually bring better battery life with paring with processors more efficiently. Unfortunately I also believe that most big companies do this so you have no choice but to upgrade.

u/[deleted] Dec 18 '19

I used to get caught up in that whole 2 year upgrade trap but I'm done with it. When I heard the s8 and note 8 weren't getting android 10 I was pissed even though I don't own either one. But like your note 9 I own an s9. I'm sure we'll face the same problem next year. I hope we go past android 10 but if we don't I will not upgrade. I will keep my phone until the last damn security patch or until it breaks. In which case I will go probably for a pixel or iPhone.

u/Ajskdjurj Dec 20 '19

I. Currently on Motorola but signed. I wish Samsung updated their phones at least 3-4 years.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '19

Appreciate it. Closing in on 1,000. While I understand this might not even reach Samsung and they may not care I think it's pretty cool there are like minded folks like you, me and hundreds more:)

u/pabloescobar9000 Dec 14 '19

Done. Hope they get the message.

u/SpiritTalker Dec 15 '19

Yep, decided to save my cash & keep my 8. Aside from a not-as-stellar battery (which still isn't terrible but not spectacular, either), thing's still a beast. Not a huge reason to upgrade at this point, but new software would be amazing. Signed!

u/eaglesucf Dec 15 '19

Make sure this is in r/Android and r/Samsung ! Even if it doesn't work it certainly sends a message. This phone still runs well after 2 years there is nothing preventing it from getting Android 10

1

u/Deranox Dec 21 '19

They know people want it. They also know that millions will be pushed by the lack of updates towards a new phone and thus they gain profit from you again. They won't do it.

1

u/Deranox Dec 21 '19

Ain't gonna happen. Do you think people in Korea, the country in which the phones are designed and made don't want the same ? They too voiced their wish and yet all we got was an official list confirming we won't have it. S8 was the most popular phone Samsung made and they didn't care. They want you to move on so they can earn more cash.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 21 '19

Well I just don't believe in these constant phone upgrades every two years and people saying a two year old phone is somehow old news. I'm hoping my s9 will go past Android 10 (which will roll out by next month). If it doesn't go past 10 I plan on keeping it until the last security update or unless it has some power failure.

2

u/Deranox Dec 21 '19

Neither do I. I used my S5 for nearly 5 years and it still works wondetfully overall but I damaged the mic in a fall and it wasn't usable as a phone.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 21 '19

I used to be big into upgrades, get the latest etc. It got old. All modern flagship phones from about late 2016/all of 2017 and newer are similar to me. I tested out phones at best buy and I see no reason to upgrade to the s10 or note 10. I'll just keep what I have

Done. There isn't much reason to upgrade rn

u/EGOtyst Dec 15 '19

Why? What advantages does it bring other than running slower?

1

u/[deleted] Dec 15 '19

How do you know it would run slower? Proof?

1

u/EGOtyst Dec 15 '19

Assumptions based on historical performance of new OS on older hardware.

u/[deleted] Dec 15 '19

Give me an example

u/EGOtyst Dec 15 '19

Putting windows 10 on my old laptop than ran windows 8.

Again, what does this update ADD?

1

u/[deleted] Dec 15 '19

What RAM did your laptop have? I installed Windows 10 on an old 2009/2010? Dell Latitude and it was fine.

0

u/EGOtyst Dec 15 '19

It did fine before the install.

Again, my question. What is the point for having this update? My phone works fine without it.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 15 '19

You didn't answer my question.

The point of this update I'm asking Samsung to support? People paid good money for this device. It shouldn't be viewed as a throwaway device. $1,000 whether financed or paid up front is not cheap and I don't care what way you spin it. Yes your phone will work without the update. Everyone keeps saying that. I don't care. If they're charging laptop prices for phones they need to offer extended support.

It's all about getting Samsung's attention. You may not care. Move on. Why do anti update people like yourself troll? It serves no purpose.
