Look after the pennies and all that. With my contract up in a month it's worth waiting a week or so more before commiting.

Me too. My missus wants to upgrade her S7 now and I'm eyeing an S9 Plus for her now. The holy grail seems to be under £30 for me, I wonder if it will fall to that price when the S10 is launched. I've currently seen it for £32 a month which is close but she really wants it to be under £30 (shes currently only paying £24 for her S7).
My battery seems to have really improved as of the last week or so. Not sure whether it is an uninstalled app or pie/One UI/Adaptive battery kicking in... but I took my phone off charge today at 11am and I am still on 15% well over 12 hours later. 4hours 30mins SOT and pretty extensive use of Music/Skygo/browsing within that time.
It finally happened. The latest updates have practically killed ACR. It records my voice perfectly but the other person is sooo quiet its a waste of time.
Damn you Google
severe battery drains after Feb security update on S9+

Mine is still very good. I usually have around 60% battery left last thing at night.

Make sure you clear cache etc, give it a reboot etc
I'm a bit cross with Three at the mo. My first year is up and I was expecting my free Netflix (which I don't really use) to be cancelled. I checked Netflix and saw I had not setup a payment method. I felt confident that when the 12 months free was up, they would cancel. But no, instead they have charged £7.99 to my phone bill! I will be calling them to get this sorted but be aware of this!
Well that was pointless. By the time I got the guy to understand what I wanted I had run of of break and had to hang up. I really hate it when I have to call Three. Their customer service is appalling.

Is that boot into recovery and then clear the cache?
No probs with battery on S9+ thankfully. For some reason whatever browser I pick as default does not stick and have to pick which browser if I click a link out of email etc, every time. I use Opera but also have Chrome and Samsung browsers installed.

Hopefully someone can help me here
Not long had the s9plus and the problem i am having is that when i read the net or pdf files my screen keeps dimming and i have to tap it to wake it up.
I have turned off adaptive display,i have turned off power saving and set the screen to fhd instead of adaptive .
I cant think of anything else
Also anyone suggest a keyboard with bigger keys as my fat thumbs just dont suit this

I'd probably keep it on. Smart stay should keep the screen on as long as it can detect your eyes looking at the screen.
I've had a Dome Glass on since last June on a Galaxy S9 plus. Expensive but has worn really well. I work in agriculture so comes into contact with plenty of 'crud' though I try to take a little care with it. Dome glass fitted really well and edges never lifted. Phone wears a Mous case too - also expensive, but between the 2 have kept the phone in one piece.
