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

[pinkpound]

Has anyone's phone been crashing recently? Apps are crashing left, right and centre for the last few weeks.

Not here I've had the odd app crash but I blame the actual app

Final Galaxy Note 9 Android Pie update possibly coming by January 15
Now, it’s worth mentioning that Samsung Turkey is listing the 15th day of the month for each device: January 15th for the Galaxy Note 9 and February 15th for the Galaxy S8, S8+, and Galaxy Note 8. Samsung Turkey also has a history of changing the dates on its update roadmaps. That said, since Samsung has been so quick with the Android Pie update for the Galaxy S9 in some markets, it’s totally possible the final Galaxy Note 9 Pie update may indeed start rolling out by mid-January.

The January 15th date may just be for Turkey and a few other markets, though. It remains to be seen when the worldwide release for both the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy Note 9 will happen, and we can only hope Samsung doesn’t take a lot of time for that after the impressively quick initial release of the S9 update in some countries.

Yeah im getting this. Loads of apps randomly crashing in the last week or so.

Is this after the December update ?

 

[pinkpound]

Any idea how you get on the beta with an exynos stock UK model?

I'd wait looks like we might get P this month

 

[pinkpound]

Tempted but I lost Vodafone WiFi calling with OXM last time

 

[pinkpound]

If I do this will I then not get the OTA updates?

I remember doing this in the past and I know it had disadvantages but I can't remember what they were.

Remember to clear the cache in download mode after the update

Ive just flashed pie to my note 9. Always been a nova user but thinking of sticking with the stock launcher. Is there anyway of reducing the size of the icons?

Thanks

Having you looked in settings -display and icon size

 

[pinkpound]

I don't have an icon size option? Do you mean in the main system settings or settings for the default launcher?

Either way I see no option to change icon size. Only grid size

You can only change font and screen zoom ..a theme might be able to give you slightly smaller icons

 

[pinkpound]

What do you think the delay is on OTA updates for Pie in the UK?

Samsung been Samsung oh and brexit ...joke

 

[pinkpound]

Do you need to be on the Samsung beta program to install the pie firmware? Or is this the official OTA firmware that will eventually be pushed to all Note 9s?

It will be the official firmware no need to be on beta program

 

[pinkpound]

Yep it's out on unlocked UK BTU, just installed.

Let us know how it goes ..Cant update mine till later need phone this morning

 

[pinkpound]

No update from o2 yet, Can I just flash the UK BTU firmware ? essentially rebranding the phone and getting the update or is there to more to it?

Yes but you will lose any O2 extras .. Does O2 wifi calling work on unbranded phones if you use that ?

 

[pinkpound]

I just noticed this page on Samsung's site .. Looks like damage only not warranty type repairs but at least its done on your drive

Well I've been using my note 9 with Pie and One UI since yesterday morning. Very impressed with the update but is it me or am I imagining it, over this morning and generally today the battery seems to have drained very quickly, I was down 25% by 10.30 and I wasn't using the phone any more than normal

Mine was iffy for 1st day of update . It settled down next day after a full charge

Galaxy Note 9 users in Germany were one of the first to get the much-awaited OneUI-based Android Pie update. Today, a new update is available for German Note 9 users. This is the second minor software update for the Note 9 following its initial Android Pie release. It has little in the way of changes and new features and appears to be a quality-of-life update. The update is available over the air and should make its way to other regions in the next few days.

The update carries build number N960FXXU2CSA7 and weighs in at 129.42MB. The changelog isn’t particularly descriptive about what changes it brings, so they’re most likely bug fixes and optimizations

[pinkpound]

I don't know if this has been posted before, but I received the Android Pie 9 update today and it has put 2 side notes on my screens when touched just vibrate, similar to the edge panel notch.

the problem is these are getting in the way of apps especially messaging apps and it it causing major problems sending messages.

anyone know what these are and how to turn them off?

Did you have Good lock 2018 installed ?

 

[pinkpound]

Just got a new update

 

[pinkpound]

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 ?

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

Samsung had a lot to show off about the Galaxy S10 at the official launch, but it naturally left out of the smaller things. You know, like how the Galaxy S10’s Bixby key can be remapped to launch any app the user wants. And if you have been wondering if the remapping feature will come to your current Galaxy flagship, then you’ll be happy to hear that it will.

Samsung has confirmed that Bixby key remapping will come to older flagships like the Galaxy S8, Galaxy S9, and Galaxy Note 9 through a software update.


Will make a nice camera button
