don't get the this one Baseband version: G892AUCU2BRC5. Even though I tried to factory reset but I am still getting issues with the navigation bar.
Still waiting for the newest update like from Tmobile. I will never buy any AT&T ****ty phone again. Hard, slow to get an update, require a relative ATT Sim card.

Yeah...you know, you can install T-Mobile firmware over the AT&T device. Also, that nav bar issue is singular, meaning just you. so what ever it is you're doing, doesn't happen to anyone else. Another thing, if you livell somewhere where a USA carrier doesn't provide service, DO NOT buy that phone. Plain and simple, only buy what your service provider or country offers. If you don't you lose out on bands, sometimes LTE entirely, Slow LTE because of the advanced technology only being able to be used on the carrier for the device, and as with the case of AT&T, software updates. The only reason you people are able to even have OTA zips AT ALL is because AT&T has **** security with their OTA server. The only other method to get updates would be Odin firmware, which AT&T doesn't RELEASE, it has to be leaked by companies with a GSPN account, which BTW cost ALOT of money, so the firmware itself is a solid $20 for those who do buy it to share to people here on XDA. And just so everyone knows, this method of pulling OTAs for you people will be patched because Samsung has had enough of their test builds getting leaked by some peachy ***** like me that pull their OTAs from AT&T. However long it takes, who knows, but it's gonna happen. By the way, most of this isn't directed just at you so you understand that, this is to the public in general. Sorry guys but it's true.

I just got the new update from ATT, I have to borrow my friend ATT sim like usual. But the new version still has not fixed yet.
I also understand what did you say for the nav bar issues above, but mine is different, not the same results on Google search.
For example:
-Youtube or Google maps is auto minimize after 2 minutes or more on screen.
-Games are automatically back to "waiting screen" in any game.
-All require fingerprints applications automatically back to fingerprint require screen while I was using it.
So I know the issue is the "back" button, I did try to change its location, hide the nav bar, but the same issues. So I know that it does not come from the physical, it is the software.
I did buy an S6 Active 3 years ago so I know the update issues that I have to face with, but Tmobile released their S8 Active too late and I did not know that.

I've never heard of that. Also just realized that G892U is on BLv1 while AT&T is BLv2 [emoji52] so.....you're stuck on AT&T firmwares...
Edit:Nvm
Edit 2: I'm retarded lol

the new base version is G892AUCS2BRD4. That the BLv2, but ATT website always updates late, the customer services suck. The ATT new version always release after Tmobile version only 1 to 3 days, but the web needs almost 2 weeks for that. So I always check in Tmobile first

It's all good, that firmware there will bring you back to nougat and you can OTA from there or sit on it.

This firmware is nougat, so whatever problem you're having with the nav bar if it wasn't there in previous updates, this should fix it. Then you can OTA whenever and see if it's just Oreo you don't like, which is fine because you can stay on nougat. And also root I believe.

Oh wait, are you saying you want the BRD4 or whatever update?
