Android OREO Update

Post by enzed4 » Sun Sep 24, 2017 7:46 pm

Anyone else running Oreo on their Android? I've had it on my Nexus 6P for a couple of weeks and it seems the battery life is definitely improved.
Sadly, they still haven't given back the ability to separate notifications volume from the ring volume, which used to be standard 2(?) versions ago. I have a fairly soft ring tone, but a 'loud' text notification. If I turn up the ring volume, the texts are too loud.
I downloaded an App (ringbutler) that allows you to separate the volumes, but if you bump or change the ring volume it drags the notification volume back up again :x . Don't want to root the phone yet as it's still under warranty and don't want to faff about returning it to stock ROM if I had to return it for any reason.
I think Samsung allows you to separate the ring/notification volumes, but not sure - anyone with a Samsung can confirm?
Otherwise, a good update.
