Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017) plagued by reboots and bootloops after Oreo update

30 May 2018
Curiously, some reboots are happening after connecting to specific WiFi networks, like Eduroam in Europe.

Look how many Nokia and Sony phones were broke because of an update OTA; NONE!

This only shows that Samsung's not even interested about making the user experience that good.
And don't give me such excuses like having more features, because stock Android already has EVERYTHING I would ever need in a smartphone.

    I have an A3 2017 and I can report that it works perfectly after the Oreo update.

But this kind of issue is still bugging out some users out there, and I'm one of them who seriously stepped down Samsung's name and switched to other brands. Don't get me wrong. I still loved Samsung's way of creating such wonderful devices, but the little things really pushed me towards other Android manufacturers.

        nailed it, 30 May 2018dont compare LG's issue dating from 1950 with samsung's 201... moreOh please. Just tell me you didn't experience these issues until now. Do you have any Samsung or LG phone?

          In addition of being late, every Oreo update on these Samsung phones leads to issues.
          Samsung needs to drastically improve its software division, that's unacceptable coming from the major Android manufacturer!

            Geric.770, 30 May 2018Samsung and LG are the same in terms of updating phones. ... moredont compare LG's issue dating from 1950 with samsung's 2018 phone. can you blame the first car for not reaching the bugattis speed? no you cant. can you compare lg with samsung? no you cant.

              Another example of updates that may not be good for you, but still people go nuts when there is promise of updates so they will spend more just cause it's a brand promise.

                Samsung is biggestphone manufacturer and number 1 in market share but this was expectable.
                They only make and sell. Nothing else interests them.
                Bad support no after sales support and everything they do they do it in rush.
                Like Steve Jobs at beggining. Pushed all his people into the maximum possible pressure and corner and expected unbelievable.
                Samsung is same. But this way they will once day fall and when they fall they will fall deep like HTC but they will never come back to see the shining lights of sunrise.

                  Hey guys, that's what I was talking about when I said it was probably better not to update my A5 (2017) to Oreo.
                  Don't update a Samsung that works well if you are not at least 95% sure it will go well

                      My a7 2017

                        Samsung and LG are the same in terms of updating phones.
                        I hope they will fix these issues fast before their fans will rant here and kill the company's name. :/
