I think waiting for the bug fix is best
Unfortunately am not an infinix user.. Nice update prof
I still run on Nougat. I won't upgrade until all's well with the Oreo update
Waiting for the fix seems easier than following the above steps. Thanks anyway.
Well first updates most times are likely to have bugs. Note 4 users should be patient and wait for the next update
If infinix doesn't release a bug fix in a week time, I'll downgrade two nougat sharp.
So the latest upgrade is having bugs?
Na waoo
seems like they've even taken down the update. when i check system update it shows I'm using the latest version whereas few days back they showed me Oreo and I'm still on nougat
Thanks
Nice tutorial.
I think its preferable to wait for the main update oh. Before one crash his phone
Patient is Paid n better off. Nice one yomi
Infinix users are always enjoying updates
This is not for a tech novice
Haha… The process na traditional marriage inside Sambisa forest.
Lol, at last Nigerians come to believe that the patient dog eat the fattest bone. Don't be too fast to upgradeu
Thanks for the information
My own Note 4 pro has not given me the android 8 update. I dunno what's wrong. Any thoughts ? please.
If you are not tech savvy or fear trying new things you might want to wait for the bug fix update. God bless you prof for this tutorial.
