Poll: **** The Official Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Thread ****

[kona786]

Would this work on my Note 9 if i did the following, i've got the car charger below, it was one i bought for my Note 5, it's an official Samsung car charger

https://www.mobilefun.co.uk/official-samsung-adaptive-fast-car-charger-black-53946

Would i be able to just change the cable on that to a USB-C cable or do i need to change the whole thing and buy the equivalent for a Note 9 ?

Yes that will work

Should be fine ,just make sure use a good quality cable or the official 1

You could use the adapter that came in the box with note 9

Since Pie's been installed on my Note the 'Always On Display' no longer works, anyone else had this? Had an update today and was hoping that their 'bug fixes' would cover it, but alas no. Everything else has been fine!

AOD has just changed, that's all. I think by default it's touch to wake, but can be set to work just like before. I prefer the touch to show feature.

Is their any way that you can change the colour of the bar at the bottom of the phone that has the home and back button etc ?

When you launch the keyboard it's the same colour as the bottom bar, quite a few times I've accidentally hit the hone button and whatever I was doing disappears, it's because the bottom bar is so close the keyboard and the same colour so it looks as one.

You can change the colour of the keyboard but if you do that it changes the colour of the bottom hone button bar to the same colour so their is no separation between the bottom bar and the keyboard.

Simple fix. Turn on gestures.

Gestures as in Advanced/motions and gestures/finger and gestures ? I tried turning that one on, didn't seem to change anything.

Navigation bar / full screen features.

Thanks, that's done the trick.

Had a second update this morning, didn't appear to change anything, security update probably but it was over 100mb.

Deleted....

Loving the new update, parts feel like a brand new phone. Much prefer the dark lock screen pin entry and the night mode.

How many of you are using Nove launcher ?

I was going to give it a go but i was reding that quite a few people seem to be having problems since the Android Pie update with things not working, have you experienced any of that ?

I do, and no.. it's all fine.

Now a Note 9 owner myself.

Moved from an S7 Edge.

Impressed with the handset although I'm finding the battery does drop a fair bit when in use. Having an Tic Watch 2 connected probably doesn't help. I always put my phone in aeroplane mode when sleeping and it only dropped 1% overnight.

Also trying to keep the battery charge between 20 and 80%. Currently at 36% and screen on time is 3h 52m.

Not sure if I'm expecting too much with a 4000 mAH battery. Suppose I've only charged it twice and if based on the above screen time I charged to 100%, I'd be looking at 6-7 hours of screen on time.

after owning a few Note 9 handsets, I always had a feeling that the battery wasn't very optimised for the phone
