Hi folks. It seems common that some users factory reset after an OS update. This supposedly helps with battery life and reduces bugs that can occur due to previous OS files. Has anyone factory reset the Note 8 after installing Oreo? Did it change anything?

Mine Note8 works perfect after Oreo update. I did not factory reset my phone or wipe cache at all and battery life have 22Hr+.

I'm really thinking that you might want to have your battery tested... 10 hours total is not normal.. Unless you are running benchmark tests non stop for 10 hours.. Which I doubt 🐧

this procedure won't 'reduce' a single bug that might eventually come with Oreo.

Unless your phone is filled with junk files factory resetting after a major update doesn't do much.

I do a clean install for any major OS upgrade. I find doing this gives me the least amount of issues and complaints I generally see with some users who install over an older OS. My method is overkill though as I do 3x cache wipes, 3x factory resets, install and another 3x cache wipes, 3x factory resets. I don't mind as it cleans out old junk and refreshes my Note 8. lol
