I installed Pi all the way up to Beta 3 but found that I could not record phone calls, which is important for me. Apparently it is a known issue. I use Android to get away from senseless lock downs. I went back to 8 Oreo by downloading and using Odin again to go to CRLB. Nightmare. Boot loop. Had to use power vol down bixby then as soon as change detected vol up power and bixby to get to factory reset because cache reset did not work. Took me hours and still working on getting back.
I'll only go to Pie if recording comes available or if rooted Pie with lots of features is developed. I can't do it.
did you successfully reverted back to Oreo latest?
if yes, can you please state procedure ?

I downloaded the 3.6GB of files from https://samfrew.com/pl/download/Galaxy__S8+__/nhwx/BTU/G955FXXU4CRL3/G955FOXM4CRL1/
suitable for my phone to go to CRLB, which is where I started. I then used Odin on my PC to get back to 8 Oreo. This only resulted in a boot loop, but Oreo was on my phone. I first pressed vol down, bixby and power together for, say 30 seconds, until I saw the screen changed, then immediately swapped vol down for vol up. If I had not swapped the vol keys I would end up in download mode, but could not reset the phone. It took at least an hour before this worked, and I could get the phone to factory reset. I had hoped a cache reset would work for me but it didn't. Another half hour and it worked, and factory reset allowed me to start afresh to get the phone to work.

Is it me or battery life sucks on beta 3 for galaxy s8
Battery life is really bad. In fact battery drop really fast till about 85% and then seems better. I am not sure if it my battery but I surely did not have this on Oreo. I suggest you and people who have battery drain to report it in samsung members app under beta feedback to make sure they are aware of it. I already did.

I have 1% in the night about 7 hours. Battery is perfect. Maybe you have to do a factory reset.

I am yet to see the update. I used to get the beta versions really fast. My service provider (in About phone) says I have XEU/XEU/DBT. DBT is for Germany. So I should have got the update right?
By the way, my CARRIER_ID inside ODIN mode is DBT anyways. Are the updates being found according to active CSC (XEU) or according to the original phone CSC?

Did you receive the update while on beta or did you flash it manually?

Well i didn't receive the update notice on beta 4, i am flashing PHN version ( The Netherlands ) on G955F, i am going to use this phone only for a month max before my S10+ arrives.

Anyways I installed manually. I hope I will get updates normally and I wont have to find/install manually the updates like on Oreo. I did factory reset before installing the whole software update. I installed the normal CSC too (not the home one). I installed/updated only the google play apps that I had preinstalled with my account. I am fully charging now to see how the battery goes this time. If it drains fast again then this will be a dead end.
