Android Pie Update Australia - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi All,
Android Pie is available from Sam Mobile site for unlocked australian version.
I am downloading now but it will take 10 hours (exaggeration) and will advise on progress once comeplete but it should all be fine.
Cheers

I've had it for over a week now. Tel variant flashed to xla to make it generic..
So far so good but no real big battery improvement.

My main issue is goodlock isn't supported yet...
I miss my custom Nav bar....
I also seem to have an issue with MX player, It's optimised for "Fullscreen" but navbar doesn't disappear when playing videos. Only if gestures is picked and I have a white line down the side where the gestures are located.
All names are blank in messaging...
I REALLY didn't want to wipe, too much to re-install and setup...

[Q] Chrome showing url bar when playing fullscreen video

Hey guys,
I've been having this issue since I installed the chroma Rom on my nexus 6. Basically whenever I play a video of any sort in chrome and full screen it, the url bar shrinks but is still visible on the screen, which add you can guess is a little annoying, an example is shown in the screenshot below, note this occurs in portrait as well as in landscape.
I've tried looking in a few places add well as here, and in settings for a solution but can't find any. So I was hoping you guys could help. The only thing that I think it could be and haven't tested yet is that I adjusted the pixel density to 420.
Help is much appreciated

Full screen gestures - global beta rom

Upgraded to latest global beta rom 8.1.18 yesterday and have to say I am loving how xiaomi implemented the new screen gestures feature. Once I got used to it whizzing around between apps in full screen mode is a beauty on this phone.
The rom also seems excellent and bug free overall. And with the updated notifications working properly finally I don't feel like the xiaomi rom is second best anymore.
Yes, i also likes that new gestures, but i like to use One hand mode - and it not work in gesture mode .
Can you please share some screen shots of the new update?

Looks the same, no visual changes
The only significant visual difference is the new gestures setting

One UI 2.0

I got the Android 10 update today, and i'm not going to lie:
I'm kinda disappointed.
The few new features and some of the changes to the UI are not good enough to make me ignore some very annoying things.
First of all, i don't understand how the notifications are handled now.
For some reason the spotify playback notification is constantly hidden, no matter how i change the settings.
The recents menu also behaves weirdly, it feels very flimsy.
I'm not sure if this is a change, or something i configured before, but the clock being on the left of the notification bar is also very annoying.
same. Also, the swipe from home to recents to switch between apps does not work now...
Received the Update in India just an hr ago
Same as Android 10 , Minor changes. I don't think Samsung will be changing UI stuff, I just love OneUI as it is, it's my own opinion. It's true that some things have changed since Pie release but i think we will get used to it.
Are there any vids on what exactly has changed compared to previous beta's?

As for your clock you probably had good lock installed and had modified the clock position. Default is left side.

OneUI/Android10 OTA too buggy?

Judging by the numerous complaints of issues with the new A10 updates, it looks like OneUI with Android 10 is NOT ready to replace Android9, yet it's rolling out as OTA upgrades. I predict it won't be long before people regret this new update and want to roll back to A9. I have a U1 variant and haven't gotten a prompt to update yet. It seem like a good time to fire up adb and disable the packages that are responsible for updates.
Anybody love the new OneUI w/A10 they got on their N9 via OTA? What's good about it?
I haven't had any issues and know a few others that haven't as well, but we are a small amoint of people, so yeah.
I really don't feel a difference between Android 9 and 10 with the exception of how dark mode is implemented now. That's honestly it for me. Battery life for me on the Note 8 and 9 have always been meh, but so has every other phone for me with the small exception of the Xperia Z Ultra and LG Optimus something big. Whatever the big one was.

I went back to Android 9 a couple days ago. To me, and this is just my opinion, 10 feels like 9 to me. And the sad thing is Samsung considers this a major update so that means the 9 will not see anymore other then security patches.

Google did state that Android 10 would be a significant improvement over Android Pie. Whether that is the case or not we have yet to be certain. But it is safe to say that Android Pie for the Note 9 will not be receiving any security patches now. As Samsung will only be releasing patches for Android 10 for the Note 9 from now on.
That is what I meant. 10 patches not Pie

On 10 and loving it. Miss a few good lock options. Battery life has been great while gaming compared to 9. I read a lot of posts here and have not run across any issues yet.
This is what I am waiting for, more news of good or bad experiences with A10. I am very happy on A9 (I have U1 variant) and I dont want to click update yet because I like it how it is. I hate that they stop security patches tho. Dark mode means squat, I have themes that work for that. I also use good lock features alot. I guess I will keep postponing the update till I see more threads about it. The silence is weird, normally there are pages of complaints after a new version comes out.

Iv been on 10 for awhile now, and i have noticed its a little sluggish. Flashed in odin, then i performed a factory reset and it is still sluggish. Hoping for an update soon
Yeah, comparing A10 to A9 (stock) is a different comparison than OneUI A10 to OneUI A9 (Samsung's) ... and that is because one of the major differences with stock Android is that A10 finally integrated dark mode.... But Samsung did that with OneUI on A9, sooo... I have OneUI with Android 9, everything is dark, it all looks good, and I like it. Also, nothing seems buggy.
It doesn't look like there is any reason at all to upgrade to OneUI w/A10, unless I like to take my chances and see if Samsung bugged up a rushed release.
I actually really, really, hate white apps. So if OneUI with A10 integrates dark mode into apps much better than it does with A9, then I would consider the upgrade, for Google apps like gmail, maps, docs, etc.
Good points from all. It's not that Android 10 is bad, it just doesnt seem much different then Android 9. For me the gestures were horrible. I'm sure peeps like them but just not for me.

Android 10 OTA has been great for me - getting better battery life and everything smooth and fluid. No problems whatsoever, and I just did the upgrade OTA, no clean wipe or anything like that (thankfully). Did use Galaxy Labs App Optimiser and I do believe apps open noticeably faster afterwards.
P.S. Still using navigation gestures as I was on 9 and notice little difference.
How are the gestures in 10 different from 9?
I have no buttons on my screen. Bottom right corner swipe up goes back to previous screen. Bottom middle swipe up goes to home screen. Bottom left swipe up shows all running apps.
Is OneUI/A10 different than that?
Someone can tell me how is the volume on Android 10 compared to Android 9? Is it louder or similar?

i think you are using 3rd party launchers? because the new full gestures can only be used on samaung one ui launcher
I am in San Francisco, with unlocked US Note 9, and have not received A10 update.
Has anyone on here in the bay area received it?
If needed, point me to another thread for this question.

Stock full screen gestures (no buttons showing) in settings > display > navigation bar. This is built into OneUI/A9

so you mean to say you dont have the new full screen gestures of android 10?
bdw your fullscreen really shows fullscreen apps?
I've had A10 for a few days now, and besides one small glitch (commas and periods are doubled when I press the icons, and sometimes the space doubles also using the space bar), I've had no issues with it.

I mean to say that I am running stock A9/OneUI with fullscreen gestures built into the OS (not from a third-party app), and from what people are describing about the fullscreen gestures in A10/OneUI, they are not any different. And yes, my fullscreen really shows fullscreen apps--no software buttons.
Ive found that A10 and UI2, cannot handle gestures and fullscreen mode any where near as well as A9 UI1.
Ive tried A10 twice now and both times, from a full wipe, the fullscreen/immersive mode messes up the A10 gestures. Whereas A9 can run fullscreen (no buttons, no taskbar, full immersive for all apps) and use gestures without any issue, and with just one swipe.
You try using proper fullscreen/immersive on A10 with gestures, and it takes two swipes to do anything, and Edge Panel Apps just gets ruined, as you cannot swipe open any more. There must be some conflict in Fullscreen/Immersive mode.
I use bxactions to toggle Fullscreen/Immersive from the Bixby button.

General Miui Global 12.5.1 Stable ROM - Likes & Issues

Hi ya'll,
I'm coming from Miui 12.0.5 Global on a RN8PRO and I have to say this OS is a downgrade but the phone itself is an upgrade. If anyone knows how to fix this or if they get an update which changes this before I do, please let me know.
Issues they changed, which wiegh highly on how it functions:
Silent/DND: I can only setup one schedule which sucks cause I like to have my phone turn on at a different time on the weekends
Individual App Notification Sounds: I was able to go into App Info > Notifications > Sound and change what sound file it plays but apparently not all apps are capable of doing this and I checked to see if the app is the same version, and they are on the RN8PRO vs RN10PRO
Likes:
Smart devices on the pull down menu
Better auto brightness on the RN10PRO but might be due to the AMOLED vs the IPS screen
Integration of the Google Page if you swipe to the right of the home screeen
Fingerprint scanner on the power button vs the back on the RN8PRO
I'll continue to update as I use more and figured it out...
I've noticed that 12.5.3 is out... anyone receive it yet?

Hi! How is version 12.5.2 working? I've read many comments about bugs on 12.5.0~12.5.1, but I would like to know if you feel 12.5.2 is an improvement over those.

nothing improvement, gallery bug and some bugs, wroste update
Miui 12.5.4 arrived yesterday on my Redmi Note 10 Pro (global).
So far pretty good, but I've noticed a couple of bugs.
The wallpaper zooms in for some reason and there's no way to fix it. I ended creating a larger wallpaper with a blank border to avoid it. It may be related to brightness adjustments.
If you disable one of the SIM cards, it still show up in the status bar (before the update, it didn't).

this bugged update . music player notification problem . long delays in browsing through storage . messaging apps like telegram notifications not showing message notifications . mxplayer crashing while playing video . zip and rar files not extracting in file explorer(default one) . and much more problems . notifications are nice though .
After updating to 12.5.4 it just became worse the whole system as a whole... I unlocked the bootloader and went back to 12.0.15 which is much less laggy and works great for my needs.
Hello on 12.5.3, i can't change wallpaper on launcher and lock screen. I Can chose, but itis appears black. Someone have this problème ?
